please stop invading 3v5 and dying.

please stop afking in jungle for leash while you browse tiktok.

i have literally lost more games due to the first blood and failed invades/invasion defenses than i can keep track of.

first tower and drake are less impactful in iron matches than first blood and a free second starting item at level 1. there's no amount of outplaying that can make up that difference if one is playing a competent opponent that isn't drooling or lagging.

this desire to force a losing game early is why games are so toxic and hate ridden. early all-ins leave your team struggling to catch back up.

it is the exact same as trying to cheese an rts by moving your base next to an opponents for that early unit drop rush. it's not worth it if your opponent has any brains.

it's no wonder people scream "ff @ 20" so often and call people feeders with dumb things like this taking charge of games.

Dear fellow Iron player.

While we thank you for your input and we would like to take that into consideration, We have a few tips to help others as well... While these may not apply to you, if any of them do, we ask that you work on our tips like we will work on yours.

If you play ranked and play more then 2 or 3 champs per role, its hard for us to trust you and follow you up when we see your first timing in ranked and your 0/6 with 40 cs at 20 mins.

Also its hard for us to listen to what others have to say when they are 0/14 or 0/what ever....talking about advice in how to play safe.

The game is about obj not kills. but if everyone is playing for kills and getting kills and the enemy team are 5 maning a 4 man group...if that 1 person who is not their would rather push the lane they are in...rather then type about how dumb we are for getting caught...and actually take a tower...to help even out the 1 we about to lose...would be nice.

we would like you to also realize that first tower ...Is actually rather important as it allows that lane to either keep pressuring the lane...or to roam and look to damage other towers with a numbers advantage. It also allows us to swap with a lane that is weaker so that the extended minion wave can be froze undertower allowing the behind player to catch up and if someone pressures that lane allows for a free kill if they have pushed up and no tower to fall back to if people will rotate. Since you made an RTS refference in your OP....Its like terran that have a wall off...with 1 side still open = free f10 from them

I really wish I could get a chance to play in Iron. I envy you guys. It's the only way an average player like me can go 20-0 every game and pretend I'm a god at the game. But tanking an account to Iron without running it down every game is impossible.
