Tips for dealing with premades as a solo player (Especially as an ADC or Toplaner)

Feel free to add to this if you'd like , this is for everybody.

When playing ADCs, I've constantly been the victim of 3 or 4 man ganks. The best tip for this is learn to freeze the lane to the best of your ability and do your best to be on the same page as your support. Now more than ever, people really need to learn the importance of warding especially if you want to climb. This goes for top lane too. Your role is literally to carry, so everyone on the field is going to want you dead.

When playing top lane, make sure you also freeze the lane when playing squishier characters like GP or Yasuo. If you're against a top and jungle pre-made, you need to ward and not push. Wear the enemy jungler's patience thin so he/she goes to other lanes. If you're trying to freeze the lane, you shouldn't have too many issues maintaining your farm.

The only thing I have learned is to know WHO is premade, for instance, if the enemy jg and bot laner is duo, most of the time they will gank bot because the power of friendship compels them. Small things to also be wary of is the rule of enemies: If YOU don't see the enemy/ large portion of the enemy team, assume they are coming for you and back off, leave, or group as needed. They usual vision saves lives yada yada, and keep tabs on the enemy even if they aren't your lane. If top disappears towards river, ping it/type it.

Some other small things is if you know top and jg is duo, ABUSE IT, they will come eventually, that removes the jg pressure off of mid and bot, allowing your jg to apply them as needed there (results may vary from ally jg...). Just always have a plan to get out/disengage just in case.

Another thing - if say, you are out of wards, chill on the side of your lane farthest from the river. You can still farm, and you have a massively increased warning if the entire enemy team pops out of the river bush.
