This is not Dragon Ball Z

You don't magically get stronger when you die; the exact opposite happens. When you give up first blood, or die in lane early game, that is not a greenlight to go back into lane and start fighting the enemy again. You're behind in cs and experience, and most likely behind a level. I've noticed recently in a lot of games I've played, people continuously take it upon themselves to play catch-up simply by instigating another fight. This almost never works unless your laning opponent is truly and idiot and decides to stay in lane with 200 hp, which is probably a hint their jungler is not too far away. This leads to my next point.

Jungle mains, tell me your experiences. Whenever I play jungle and successfully gank top, I just wait in the bush, because, more times than not, the enemy top laner feels like they need to spite my top laner and tp right back to the middle of the lane and push. Now our team just got a second kill and top is irrelevant for the next 25 min which means I can go turn botlane into a glorious 4v2 fiesta with my midlaner.

I can't stress this enough: When you die, you have to accept that you are now slightly behind and have to adjust your play-style. Yes, there are champions that can feed their asses off and still maintain relevancy thanks to scaling (Chogath ), but that's no justification to give enemy free gold and map pressure.

If you die once, fine, mistakes happen, but when it's 10 minutes into the game and you already have 6 deaths, you can't cry "unfair" when my team effortlessly zones you out of every objective and secures lategame status. Be smart about your laning, don't make the game more harder than it already is for yourself.

Mistakes happen and no one's perfect, but don't misjudge the first 10 minutes of the game as insignificant; it's not a write-off. They get a lot of gold and xp from you dying while you fall behind missing out.

I don't rly play jg much(as an ADC main) but i see it A LOT with the 2v4 bot after snow balling top. But when i do play jg i can try that bush strat, but my top laner doesn't know what to do and backs even when i'm right there, so i can't pull that off but others can? But we lose because our Riven thinks she is from a fucking anime and thinks she can't die so she goes in 0/6 vs that 6/0 Darius and dies, then feeding a carry even more putting our team more and more behind then having to 4v5 a fed darius because riven is USELESS
