I'm constantly playing against 4-man bot-rush, 5-man bot-rush, 4-man bot-rush, every sum, every ult, just bleeding into the constant ENDLESS, UNRELENTING pressure. I'm ending up with nothing to make aggressive plays to allow my lane to carry.

-I can't roam because it leaves bot (the TOP objective) exposed and I pay with EXP. -I can't ward aggressively because I can't buy sightstone first off (and is jungle even going to use the info? it's a gamble). -If I use my summoners aggressively to 'win lane', in a tiny window of oppurtunity, my ability to defend bot is hampered and the enemy team initiates an assault.

Why am I playing Damsel in Distress? Where is my skill expression supposed to be? HOW am I supposed to do anything to win the game when I'm so dependent on the rest of my team to not let my lane by squashed out of existence?

Swap to more Nami, Play a bit more back. Still has Gobs of CC, but you can peel and survive better then Leo. Im also a big fan of Bard . If the tanky supports are more your playstyle I think Braum can survive ganks much better then leo, same for Alistar thou he is a good deal less mobie, just has AOE cc earlier then leo and his R is pretty strong Defencive steroid. Otherwise you may want to look into Thresh Rakan or the ever hated Janna . Personally im a pretty big All or nothing player and like to go pretty ham with Nami and Bard

Edit. The requirements your gonna need are the ability to consistently land bubbles or Q underpressure, as well as to know how to hold onto abilitys and the good times to use them for generating pressure. It can take time to really get the flow down.

Just play Taric and outduel everyone on your own, that's the trick.

Tbh, there's not really much you can do if the enemy decides that bot lane dies now. A few matches ago I was playing support and we got five man dived by the entire enemy team. At seven minutes in. After they killed us they took our tower and that was pretty much gg.

If you know a 4/5 man gank is coming bottom, do NOT use your summoner spells or ultimate, since the loss is inevitable, and then use the window of time where the enemy summs are down and yours are up to exert pressure.

You know what solves the issue of you being in bot lane and getting roamed on by the enemy mid laner? You don't be in your lane. So they can't roam to your lane because nobody is there.

So where do you go if not to your lane? oh gee the enemy mid is TF, an immobile low damage poke and waveclear champion who wants to roam bot. Go to his lane. and you roam on him, and fuck him up.

You're playing fucking Leona. You have a clitoris of Iron. There's no way a TF gets out of a leona gank. he wants to shove and roam? you shove and roam and bury him under his own tower.

What do mid laners do when they don't want to have passive boring experience of being in own lane waiting for enemy jungler? they shove, and have fun experience of romaing bot and dropping their ult on some poor glass cannon. You can play that game too, and it's quite fun.

So you take your ADC. And you shove as hard as you can, and once you are done shoving, you LEAVE THE LANE - don't stay pushed up - and go take out the scuttle or seal the enemy jungle or roam mid.

There's nothing that wins a game harder than a TF that gets tilted out of his mind because the enemy leona just dives him every time she has her ult up.
