Why does everyone care so much about kills?

Farming and csing is a big strength of mine and i am far happier zoning the enemy and just farming to late game instead of risking everything to get a kill or 2. Whats so bad about just farming up? If i farm and have 50 more cs then the enemy then i can easily kill them...why be risky early when you dont need to? I dont get it, why everyone wants to be so risky. Poking and zoning is one thing but going all in is just so risky then just farming. Let me get 50+ cs more then the enemy adc and we can kill without any trouble. Ive 2v4 just cause i was far more fed on cs. If you can go 20/0 then great im happy for you. But that kind of play style is risky. Sometimes youll win big and sometimes youll lose big. But farming is much safer imo. I think thats the biggest problem in low elo games. People dont know how to just farm.

Bronze: because Kills = Skills. Huehuehue. I got all deez kills. And my team sucks. They keep trying to get these tower thingys.

But in seriousness, nothong wrong with farming and prioritizing objectives.

Because once I kill someone I can Ctrl4+Crtl6 on their corpse. Doing that after killing a minion, while lulz, would be pretty stupid.

because it's much more fun pvp'ing than to do the boring pve, apparently.

the pvp is still there...its a pvp game obviously. I just prefer a safer approach. Like if people played safer and communicated better i think itd go far better. Like if a team had a farm approach and communicated well, you can tell your jungler what lanes are the aggressive ones and your jungler can hover around that lane and punish that aggressive enemy for it. Like if my laner wants to go aggressive id just say sure go ahead, ill have my jungler hiding behind me to make you regret that aggressive approach

Because there are a lot of bad players who don't understand common sense.

because after a certain elo you will hit a wall just farming, if your opponents can farm just as good as you, nobody has an advantage you have to learn when you can play aggro and take advantage of the lane

thats what lcs is though. They farm and have heavy farm, and if a lane is aggressive they call their jungler to punish them for it. Majority of the time the only fights you see in lcs is team fights for objectives or when a jungler ganks the lane. Beyond that they mainly just poke. At least this is what happens in the LCS games ive watched i have of course not seen them all.

It's not lcs. It's bronze. I play in Bronze II, at twenty minutes I have a cs of 150 to 190 with my main, Kassadin. And that's with skirmishes, ganks and so on. In good games, I'll be able to zone my opponent out and get a minor cs lead, in bad games my opponent zones me out and gets a minor cs lead. So you try to get kills to equalize, or to furthen the lead. I don't understand people either who towerdive for every kill and get killed every second time themselves. The main problem in low elos is oftentimes not the kill aspect though, it's the objective aspect. Oftentimes teams will just not focus on taking objectives, instead of taking the tier 2 tower top lane going bot to defend the tier 1 against a wave of minions that will have been reduced to 2 minions by the time they get there. Low elos just try to brute force it, gaining a massive monetary upperhand and then destroying the other team, while high elos already punish the enemy team for giving them a slight gold lead by making {[(better)]} tactical and strategic decisions.

Because that's fun. I hate laning and last hitting the fuck so boring.

The way I play is I go into lane and first blood top. Then I fucking walk into enemy jungles and kill them at their buff. I'm not done I walk mid and kill them too. Oh 2 people still alive ? Might as well walk bot and kill that lane as well. Oh free dragon at 4 mins cool. Oh top came back to my lane? Lemme to and kill him.

So yeah kills are fun last hitting and laning are not. This is probably why I love heroes so much.
