What to do when you are losing

I see that most people don't talk about this very much, it is harder the higher you up in leagues the harder it is to come back when you are losing. The important part is always do your best and if you are down learning to recognize it. In bronze however people throw matches all the time you think the pros would lose a match where they have 5 people and the enemy only has 4 yet a lot of bronzies will swear up and down that they've seen it. Shoot I've been on both the winning and losing teams and experience this and in fact I was that person that afk the entire game and my team won. It happens so yes there is always a chance no matter what league you are in that you can come back and those chances get higher the lower in rank you are.

So how do you come back, that's always the hard decision. Well let's say this your a marksman your order is ** NORMALLY** this attack damage item like infinity edge/essence reaver, AS item like rapid firecannon or runann's hurricane, your finish boots, and this is your core, no matter what your champion should have these three items. What's next depends heavily on what situation you are in. First thing you should consider, if you are winning you grab defensive item easiest way to make sure you don't throw is by having more survival, then comes your lifesteal/counter tank, then 6th item whatever it made be towards aggressive then sell boots another item and so forth.

But if you are losing, well go more offensive don't get a defensive item you want to do as much damage as you can to your enemies you are already losing you are at a point where you need something big to change the game, you can't grab objectives you can barely cs and most of the time you are moving between the 3 lanes just trying your hardest to defend your last few towers. So build full offense and capitalize off that person that stayed too long death timers are high you kill them they're not coming back for awhile they kill you sure same death timer but you have advantage you have turrets you have your spawn location really close that gives your team a heavy advantage and considering in low leagues nobody knows how to tank a turret, you can come back.

Don't go overly aggressive play very passively and try your best to make this game go late. In late game one mistake could mean the game and trust me the winning team can easily throw a game in the late game, I've seen it happen before. Point is if you are winning build press the lanes as much as you can split push but don't get caught and don't do it when you have no vision pay attention to enemy you aren't going to finish a game by constantly pressing the mid unless the enemy team just flat out trys to engage you which if they're smart they won't. You are an invading army there job is to use their home field advantage to win this game, so they invite you in for your own demise.

So split pushing is the best way to ensure a victory, push top push bot grab objectives as many as you can get extra cs grab enemy jungle camps ward their jungle, that's how you finish a game not by pushing mid expecting something to change, and in fact most throws in Bronze league at least happen this way team winning press mid too hard team wipes death timers high enemy team and I've had this happen I was the losing team we were down 20 kills only had 1 inhibitor left we played really safe and capitalize big time after we killed them we press mid took tower inhibitor other 2 nexus towers all before team had respawn and then we killed the nexus and we won.

If you are losing don't engage an enemy never engage an enemy when out numbered even if you are winning, but when you are losing let them initiate fall back constantly let them advance every champion has different movement speeds and catch them when they least expect it, no this does not mean contest dragon or baron you guys are losing let them have it not worth everyone dieing and giving them the game stay back let them have it let them push and watch as these idiots do nothing with baron buff and ultimately just die. Split-pushing even if you are winning you won every team fight 5-4 will usually win so if you are winning and your teammate is off split pushing put pressure in mid but if they engage fall back 1 person dies it's fine fall back you lost one don't lose anymore chances are they are losing they're not going to come back off one death but put pressure on distract them so that your split-pusher can reach his next objective of taking out that tower maybe even an inhibitor probably not. Split-pushers learn when to fall back don't try 1 v 2 it's not worth it, instead go as far as the team will let you then fall back regroup with your team. Ward up their jungle as you guys push vision wins game and it definitely makes it easier to roam through lanes when you have vision. People are not lying vision does win games look after the game check the web in your game history guaranteed more often than not the losing team has less wards placed.

Oh and one more thing don't get greedy if you take an inhibitor but you notice enemy is coming back soon fall back grab dragon get their red and their blue but fall back don't give enemy team free kills pay attention! Quit playing tag that's not what this game is for those idiots it's where we won let's push then die oh shit didn't noticed they came back. If you are winning finished the game I've won a game where my team only had 9 kills and their's had 7 is was a 35 minute match, they didn't give us easy kills but we took what we could and we didn't die, that's why we won, we didn't get greedy.

break that up into separate paragraphs, it's totally unreadable right now

on another note though, current meta when losing is to qq and blame jungle

No that's current bronze meta here's how the real meta is if you don't wanna take responsibility if you lose top lane it's because you didn't play safe when you were down it's okay to be losing a lane just don't feed, hug turret let that idiot push with no vision and call your jungler up to gank that said idiot. Now if jungler doesn't come just hold out eventually team fighting will happen and that's where you shine afterall every champion has a counter.

Mid if you lose lane it's completely your fault contrary to popular belief it's not the jungler's job to camp your lane if he never ganks your lane and you lose it, guess what it's your fault. Hug your damn turret call ask for assistance but this is the one lane you should never really lose if you did you were either playing too aggressive or not warding properly. Now there are specific counters in mid lane if you're countered then already you should be hugging your turret just ask for your jungler's assistance ahead of time and wait.

Jungle if you lose again it's your fault.....oh but enemy jungler keeps coming in my jungle? Okay, then go into his maybe you'll get lucky and catch that asshole fighting a camp. Ward a lot every time you get a chance ward put one at your red, put one of your blue put one in the tribush both top and bot. Put wards in enemy jungle. Get some vision wards. WARD WARD WARD WARD WARD, if you are going to complain about getting countered jungle you better have more wards than the enemy placed.

Bot lane this is the only lane that has a real excuse for losing their lane. Unfortunately the better support, wins this lane, yes I said it the better support, not the better adc, supports dictate this lane. Now how do you win your lane when your support zone out enemy, don't die, constantly harrass ward up and keep your god damn idiotic marksman alive regardless of how stupid they made be keep them alive if your marksman has more deaths than you I don't care how good you are, you are not a pro........that's your fault your marksman die you are support that marksman should never die, if you are there. Which starts with you not dying for no reason. Don't go ahead and camp the bush way ahead of the minion wave then pull with blitzcrank then die and blame your adc for being too passive if he's being passive maybe you should be passive to. Yes Blitzcrank can be passive! Make smart decisions all and all if you lost your lane it's 100% your fault! Not everyone else, if your adc feeds, then guest what it's your and everyone's else fault protect your adc, he's a squishy you idiots how can he survive? Protect him and he won't die that doesn't mean commit suicide if he's dead no need for them to get a double kill but if you can protect him, for the love of God protect him. The fact is a marksman most marksman can't do a damn thing against an assassin, it's your job your entire team's job is to protect the marksman otherwise he dies you have low damage and your chances of winning just got lower if game goes to late game. I don't care if oh that Rengar gots 5 health left who gives rats ass stay with your team protect your marksman first secure kills second.
