Honestly, how hard is it to not feed?

At what point do you realize "Man, this guy is stronger than me. I should probably play safe."? Is it the 4th death? The 5th one? 6th? Does it ever cross your mind?

Of course, I'm guilty of it from time to time as well.

Here's the thing, a little secret between you and me. If the enemy laner has killed you 4 times in a row, chances are it wasn't "luck". They are one of 2 things...

  1. Too ahead of you to fight without a teammate

  2. Flat out better than you

And that's okay! It's okay to be less skilled than your enemy laner or just a little behind. However, going in repeatedly and dying 5 times in a row is not. Letting yourself get carried is a skill more people need to learn. Put your pride away and play safe. Let your jungler help you.

that's all i got

Ive had times that i can not even be under tower safely. Sometimes it is just best to become worth less gold than a cannon minion as you just try to farm. This does not mean intentionally go in and try fighting them and tower diving them etc....... But if you are already under tower you have 2 options. Leave tower and lose farm and become even more irrelevant than you already are, or try to farm still. If you leave tower they will roam. If they roam your allies die almost every time. You can not stop them so you continue trying to farm.

Then you get complained at all game by people that say "just play safe! Just let tower fall! Just surrender!" like they have no clue how to play the game.

The ally jungler often times is trying to help other lanes, but yeah......... Normally if i lose lane it is because the enemy jungler ganked and ganked and ganked. There has been one time recently though, that there was a Tryndamere that played very well and was beating me np as i was Nunu. The previous tryndamere i fought only had a lane phase because of their jungler.

Im not the greatest, but just figured id point out that often times its the enemy jungler that wins the lane for them.... And not the enemy laner. "ward better" well that only works unless they can dive you, which then leads to the first part of my comment.

Also in the situation of a jungler camping, there is the situation of if you stay, the enemy jungler stays. This leaves 2 enemies in top lane for example, vs the 1 top laner in an effort to tilt and set the 1 back. This leaves your jungler.... And possibly mid as well.... To go and gank bottom lane and slaughter them...... 2 enemies down. 4 person pushing a single lane. This is an advantage for your team.

Taking one for the team! With turrets as it is, it seems like tower diving is always an option no matter the champion depending on elo (Silver and below? definitely)

Heck i normally talk smack about the jungler being the actual top laner to keep them top xD my jungler just needs to realize they should gank bott at this time if the plan is working lol, or easy dragon, etc.

I've watched people get tower dove 15 times and the team is like "PLAY SAFE" and they've just been sitting under tower the entire game as safe as you can be.

I've had games where the my ally refused to ward when he was getting camped. by the 10 minute mark he was 0/7 Yasuo. so as you can tell my chat was filled with Racisism and cussing until the game was over. Playing safe is not always about sitting under tower. Reneketon/Sejuani you are no longer safe at your tower. But that is also a good thing as well. While top and Jg camp your caster minion top lane you can get your Mid/ADC fed with the ganks.
