Why split pushing by yourself dosent work 90% of the time

Because you create a false sense of security for your team.

So, in more detail, splitpushing often times is a good solution against a team who just BEATS you in fights. Te problem ive found, in my 4 years (started the splitpushing playstyle in Season 2 heavily with ), and having played multiple games from Bronze to low diamond, is that the pressure you create allows your team to suddenly take a breath of air.... but then slack off...

I cant count how many games i played as , drawing 2-4 champs onto myself, buying time, sometimes anything from 20-50 precious seconds before i go down or get away... and during this time what did my team do? Nothing. They could have taken dragon, Baron, towers, initiated a 4v2 in there favor because 3 people where after my ass... But no. Unless your playing with high Plats or Diamonds, they just sit farming jungle or hugging towers, terrified, as if the enemy team (half of whom are chasing me in bot lane), are going to magically warp over to mid or top and slaughter them. The pressure you create throws your team into a sense of false security that the game is 'equal', they dont realize they are behind and that they are missing the opportunity to come back.

If this where season 2-3, a splitpusher alone would win the game. Season 4, a little harder. But by season 5 things have gotten so team dependent in a lot of aspects that especially if your behind, and your 4 other team mates decide they are too scared to seize the opportunity to come back.... Your screwed.

If your like me and you enjoy splitpushing, get a duo, could be a support or adc, the mid whatever, but get SOMEONE else who is on the same page and wavelenght as you and understands your plan and goes with it, otherwise your gonna have a bad time carrying the game.
