sometimes i feel players have no idea what a champ does

i don't necessarily mean abilities. Just what it means for the game/matchup when a champ is picked.

For example i just recently got out of a game vs a Quinn jungle. Yes, quinn jungle. I was mundo jungle, a very powerful tanky ganking jungler with massive map presence, Tier 1 in some circles. She somehow got firstblood with half left and i tried to catch her in her jungle before recall. I'm not gonna talk about what happened in the jungle, because that's not important kappa.

Anyway, this quinn eventually hit 6 and had mobility boots by that time, and proceeded to anally rape all the lanes. I tried a couple ganks, but most of these ganks just failed cus my laners and i were just so far behind, and quinn ended up being there like 3 seconds later with her godlike movement speed. I gave up after awhile and just farmed my jungle until surrender.

All game my team was like "why cant you gank as much as quinn."

"as much as quinn."

...

I was just struck by mfs guns (<.<)

It's like people had no idea just how fast quinn could travel around the map. No joke at one point she ganked bot and got a double and in less than like 10 seconds ganked mid line and got a kill there.

Another good example would be when a team has a split push champ and they be like "group omg" So often grouping is the wrong move because a 5v5 fight can't be won and split pushing is the best strategy.

I wana say it sounds like low elo lol. But another part of me knows even in plat elo people expect miracles just because you are on X champion.

Like, dude you are playin Elise why is Jax out pressuring you early game? Uh, because he got a huge lead off of very simple ganks.. He's 4-0-1, its hard to counter gank as 1-1-1 elise when Jax is already fed.

People don't take simple things into consideration. Sometimes it's not that the enemy jungler is better at applying pressure, but the enemy laners are simply better at avoiding death from them.

It doesn't matter if a champion has a bad early game jungle, if your lanes are always dying to their gank by simply showing up, then maybe better item 3649 item 2055 item 3340
