When did it become acceptable to let enemies roam freely?

I'm seeing this in a ton of my games lately and it just drives me crazy. Someone, usually the enemy midlaner, will roam. Mid will just continue to stay in lane, maybe put out an MIA but never follow. They might grab a few farm, but they still won't get the turret. The roamer will then do double ganks with the jungler and not only put their team ahead, but ward just about everything, making it impossible to ever comeback. And with the current meta, where a 4-0 score early on will win you the game, it's super annoying. And of course, buying a vision ward is just something you don't do down in Bronze, no matter what, so it makes it even worse.

Here is a thing: I am not responsible of you dying. If the enemy laner is going bot and I ping you MIA or tell you in chat, you have no reason to blame me for dying. I leggit told you what is going to happen, if you die you are just bad and refuse to admit it. No, I am not going to follow fizz in the jungle as lux just because you can't handle walking back a few steps to get under your tower. I won't put myself in a situation where I am alone in the jungle with an assassin just to please you.

Vison wards are pink, and pink is a girl color. Only Girls can use pink wards.

Are you expecting competence in Bronze/Silver?

That is probably a mistake.

I can't even get that in Platinum.

Why the fuck would I follow a lane Kha'zix, of all the assassins, even as a duelist like Fiora into the jungle? Even if I took top tower more slowly than I should have, I think you can understand my trepidation when there's a fed Shaco and a fed Kha'zix on their team.

Yet one of the best pieces of advice I've ever gotten (went from b1 to p5 this season) was to not follow. That "little cs" turns into a two item advantage.

Not in Bronze, where 5 cs/min is exceptional.

A: some champions are better at roaming than others. B: That's the oldest strat in the jungler's book of baits C: Getting a Turret is kinda hard early game if you're an AP champ.

pings mid laner missing pings mid laner missing 5 seconds later pings mid lanet missing 15 seconds later mid laners ganks bot and gets a double kill ''omg fucking mid follow'' that is what pisses me off
