New player needs some advice on shotcalling and making the correct plays

Hello,

I started playing LoL 2 days ago. I just had a match which completely confused me. This isn't my first MOBA, so I am not completely awful.

Last match I was playing Kog'Maw at the middle lane and was against a Draven. I was pressuring Draven and the moment I was about to finish him off Ekko came out of the forest and almost killed me, but left the kill for Draven. During the laning phase I continued to pressure him, but the Renekton (top) and Ekko kept attacking me so Draven could finish me off. I managed to keep up and grab a couple of kills. During the match I got plenty of kills on the enemy and once we had the inhibitor down we recalled. We killed Baron Nashor and I proceeded to kill two enemies. I told my team to support me and move as a team, but they refused. They insisted that getting the other inhibitors down was more important than my plan of ending the match. I kept trying to convince them, but to no avail.

What was the correct thing to do? Listen to them or convincing them to do it my way? I really need some advice on this.

Here is the match history: http://matchhistory.euw.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/EUW1/2921048507/230176593?tab=overview

Thank you for your time.

Getting the inhibitors down is the safer way of ending the match. While your plan could have probably worked, if the enemies come back to life before you guys can end your team will all die and you'll lose a ton of your base and possibly the game for it. Doesn't seem like they wanted to chance it.

No matter what you guys pick it's better to do it as a full team. If they're uncomfortable with rushing to end then play it slow.

Depends what the Olaf wanted to do since your team seemed inexperienced and Olaf was probably the one who would intiate fights anyway. Also, don't take smite as a mid laner.

U shouldnt push dowN mid to finish Unless your lead is substantial enough where u can ace the other team again. Otherwise Then u should take more inhibs and push for a bigger lead before finishing. With baron its pretty easy to take inhibs if ur already winning

Generlly if u get 2 inhibs and baron then u can practically watch minions win for u

  1. The other inhibs was a safer option, because you could let minions crash in from all three lanes, then end it easier
  2. is my computer glitching or did the ekko only buy sorcerers shoes

Listen up maggots! Mr Popo's about to teach you the pecking order

There's tilted assholes... noobs... the fake smurf... the enemy team... the tilted assholes from the enemy team... deez nuts... the adc... the toplaner... the midlaner... the jungler... the support... the real smurf... whoever is just generally good at this... the one who controls the objective you're teaming up for... the designated shotcaller... and popo!

Any questions?

Heres how it works sadly enough. You follow the team or get the team to follow you.

never pursuer any play if you have no vision of the rest of the map. especially. vision of the jungler.

anyway. the forest is a funny phrase to use here.
