How i'v lost game's recently.
Recently games have been entirely focused on Bot Lane, no matter what ELO you go into there is a high chance that the team with the winning bot lane is the team that wins the game. From bronze all the way to LCS, this is undeniable fact, you win bot lane your chances of winning sky rocket.
This leads into the title, recently i'v been loosing games because of my own mistakes but also because bot lane simply loses. When they lose they completely give up, i just had a game with a Tristana+Janna bot lane, that's basically perfect right there, trist is really strong, janna is borderline OP but they lost lane, okay cool let me help em out. Helps them out, we get into teamfight stage, the issue? The tristana and janna did absolutely nothing, when i mean nothing i mean nothing as in no auto attacks, no sheilds, no heals, nothing. They were too afraid to do anything because the enemy ADC had already beaten them in lane, their fear and the entire teams fear prevented us from taking any of the numerous chances they gave us to win the game. There was a time when their entire team was VERY low, so i go in, pinging my team to as well, they ignored me. We were full health, all our ults up, against a team who had litterally 20% health on each person, all because they were to afraid.
A game isn't over in 15 minutes 90% of the time, there's always the chance you can come back but you have to take the initiative to do so. If you sit back and out of fear chose to do nothing, your only guaranteeing your loss. Also, side not, someone might not have the best calls in a solo que game, but if only ONE(AND I MEAN ONLY ONE) person is taking initiative and trying to lead the team, it's best to follow them than ignore them.
This was a normals game but it really helped to remind me how easy it is to lose a game to people who give up.
