I love how everyone feeds this season and blames it on you for not fighting clearly lost fights.

A) It was in reference to times when you're losing early, not a specific game.

B) When you're losing early, you look to farm, ward up, and try to punish; you don't take risky fights. If they catch someone out, minimize the losses by letting just that person die; don't rush in to try to turn a fight that's already lost while you're already behind. It will not work the vast majority of the time.

#**The post was about how people insist on fighting for some reason when they're already behind, then blame you for not fighting lost fights. **

C)I never mentioned a 'clearly lost game'. I was talking about clearly lost fights. If you're behind, you're likely down in both gold and exp; vision is likely too. If you 5v5, your team is very, very likely to lose any fight unless someone is very out of position and got caught. There is no point in randomly picking fights or contesting objectives that will not immediately lose the game because you will likely just end up feeding the enemy team more gold/exp. Better to use it as a moment of reprieve to shove out for a burst of safe gold/exp.

Yeah but this is mid-high plat. Holiday season has very little to do with it since you cannot accidentally/naturally get plat. You have to have some idea of what you're doing. Everyone that's gold or higher should know exactly what I'm talking about.

Its just like everyone suddenly forgot how attempt to come back from a losing game.

Maybe I got lucky. Nearly all 7 seasons I've been playing people kind of accepted splitpushing as the tactic to get back into a losing game.
