Why is it so hard to get people to destroy towers?

Why do people most often want to chase kills vs. destroying a tower, and how do you effectively get your team to focus the towers?

I find a lot of games I lose because my team won't focus objectives, and would love some tips for how people combat this problem.

Destroy it yourself while your team chases like idiots.

Then, when they don't catch for the kill ask "Just wondering, how much Damage could you have put on this Turret while you chased? Hmm, maybe next time?"

simple answer, take the turret yourself, if your building to chase your building to force a surrender, if your building to take objectives your playing to outlast the enemy.

in games I chase (jungle mostly) I find the enemy team surrenders if they cant outmaneuver your team. in game I objectify (mostly support and top) the game lasts about 20 minutes longer but your advantage is more clear and less likely to fall off, unless you get aced

The problem with the attitude "do it yourself" is if the enemy team is paying attention in any way they will ambush and gank the hell out of a single champ trying to push simply for the kills alone.

I feel they need to split the regular mode into two categories to better serve the players.

Game mode

#1 people that are going to ONLY go for kills before a given amount of time and then have game mode

#2 regular mode that requires destruction of the nexus and towers.

One shows on their KDA.

The other determines games.

Because people don't play to win...

I have found that around 70% of the people playing this game would prefer to fake their KDR then actually win. They want to pretend they have skill because they have "this many" kills and ONLY "this many deaths" but they are too stupid to know that ANYONE can fake a kdr
