Leaving Predictably Bad Games

If you already know you are going to lose, because you get no leash or whatever. Should you just leave it instead of wasting 30-40 minutes of your time playing a hopeless game? I've just left one right now.

Junglers do not always get leashes. It's not the laner's responsibility to leash, just as it's not the jungler's responsibility to give buffs to the laners. If you're not prepared for a no-leash scenario perhaps you should be practicing how to do it instead of asking for a justified leaver system.

So give me advice on what route i should take if I get no leash, you are right I should be prepared.

That depends on who you pick, who you are up against in both lanes and jungle, how likely it is you will be ganking early, how likely you will be counter jungled, and whether or not you will be counter jungling.

Advice can help, but there are so many variables that only practice can teach you what to look for and what to expect.

Yeah...

If you're dead set on wanting advice try youtube. I personally recommend stonewall for jungle stuff. You really do need more experience than knowledge in a competitive arena, so don't expect tips to help you all that much if you don't go out and do the time that's needed to master whatever skill you're learning.

Obviously not?

What makes you think you're going to automatically lose a game because you didn't get a leash? It is so easy to come back from early game disadvantages if your enemy makes one mistake. And besides, if a game is taking 30-40 minutes it is obviously not hopeless. The longer a game goes, the less a gold advantage means.

Not to mention, comeback wins are waaay funner than steamroll wins.

Better Question. When you see you have a troll in champ select and justifiably dodge, why get a LP penalty. By troll I mean the last pick insta lock into a position that is already filled. Or the absolute refusal to be support. I know I'm still in Bronze, and therefore I have to suck, but why be punished for choosing not to play with obvious trolls. I won't leave a game because of a troll, but seriously why be punished for avoiding them in the first place?
