PSA to top laners, just because your lane is done does not mean come get mid's farm

VoraciousX··1 votes·1,058 views

I'm so friggin tired of having to compete with every single body, ESPECIALLY TOP LANERS for farm. If your lane is done, and you come to help mid and take a kill that they were gonna get, do not tax them as well. It's BS and I'm sick of having 100-130 farm by the end of the game while my top laner, ADC, and jungle all have 200+. Do I have to friggin start buying hydra myself? Don't test me.

To be fair, this isn't YOUR farm. It's EVERYONES farm, okay?

To be fair, I should have just as much right to said farm as everyone else. And just because I can't auto attack a few times and clear a wave doesn't mean you should be literally racing me to a wave just so you can take it all, especially if you just killed my enemy laner by last hitting them, and then proceed to fight me for the wave as well. You're just trying to make your mid laner useless doing that.

Well someone has to take the fall.

Should it be the guy who's ahead and "secure" the farm to snowball even harder?

Or should it be the guy who's currently behind and we lose the lead if he gets the farm?

The mid laner is the latter in this situation.

There are times where I'm the only one fed and I still see everyone trying to take all the farm. Also if the mid laner is behind and all they offer is damage, it doesn't make sense to completely cut them out of the game. You also have things to think about like if you only have one fed person who is trying to take the farm everywhere and keep anyone else from getting it, you're forced to rely on that only fed person, and when they die your team falls apart. Everyone needs farm, not just one person, even if that person's behind. Having an actual wave or two of farm can make a big difference as well, but if you're going around taking all the kills and all the farm, that person will be forced to be useless to the team due to the 25 gold they get from an assist and that being quite literally all they get all game outside of a few minions after the first tower goes down.

Well you have a point.

But I would still much rather have a guy who's useless and then when he dies he gives no gold to the enemy team, rather than have the guy get minions and he's worth gold again.

The only way you become "worth gold" is by getting a bounty, aka kills. If they're getting kills on their own after getting farm, they're not useless anymore.

1000 gold from minions = one kill. This is taken from the League of Legends wikia:

"Champions with negative tiers also have their tier increased by 1 for each Gold 1000 earned by killing minions / monsters or by earning an assist."

If you got 1000 gold worth of minions you should have enough to not be useless anymore....That's much more beneficial than getting one kill on an enemy champion and becoming worth gold. That's getting 3 and 1/3 kills. Do you realize how much of a boost that is to someone behind?
