I'm having trouble managing my lanes, and It really makes me want to quit this game.
Alright so, here is the issue I'm having. I play
. I am used to playing top, but I stopped playing top because of one reason: 2v1. I am level 23, and in the past at lower levels I never had to manage a 2v1, not I am constantly pitted against two people. The situation usually looks something like this, and It makes me extremely upset.
Note: My runes are in the process of being fixed. They are sort of half done right now.
- I can't even poke because if i try to even poke or kill some creeps, I get punished for it by the two champions.
- I ask for help from my jungler, and my jungler is usually inexperienced (IE: Overextends, Gets killed by turrets.)
- I ask for help, and literally no one comes to help me. They end up taking down the turret and I get snowballed and then we lose. At this point the whole team decides that it's my fault. When I try to explain that if I might have gotten help we might be in a different position, I get nothing but negative replies. It's like everyone in this game is incapable of reasoning and understanding that 2v1 is unbalanced and a losing fight unless you are facing someone less skilled.
That is the first issue I am encountering. The second seems to be that either I am getting countered hard, or I have no idea what I am doing. A few games ago I was facing a silver 1 (unsure of how good this is) Lee sin that told me I am pretty decent and that I'm just stuck at a bad elo right now. I know my combos. I know how to bushwack, I know how to reset my pounce with q. I rarely have a problem controlling my lane and usually snowballing it extremely fast. However today I have had defeat after defeat. This is partially due to 2v1's in top lane, and what might be my lack of experience or mechanic that I am missing. Here is the matchups I had in my lane and the issues I was encountering.
Match 1: http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1706003205/39787236?tab=overview
- Top was
vs
. I was handling the lane fine, I kept him and bay and killed him at least 5 times. The issue started when I pushed 2nd north tower and
started coming to help gnar constantly. I guess he was fed, and I was almost beating him several times in fact, but his stun (sear I think) kept me from going into my cat form and getting the bite in.
** Match 2:http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1706794059/39787236?tab=overview **
- Top was
vs
. I was poking him pretty well and I was doing decent. We traded a few times and I ended up pushing him back to his tower and almost killing him. After the first time of scaring him off to his tower,
joined him on top permanently. My jungler
came up to top to try to help, but it turns out that he was converting playing from CoD and had little to no idea how to not overextend. So now I was up against a skillshot champ that was also getting kills off my jungler. I couldn't keep either of them at bay from destroying top towers. I kept getting grabbed by
Q and then destroyed by a stacked
Q. I did get
twice, but in the end
snowballed the whole team. - Our ADC
, complained that the "whole team" should be peeling for her and that she was carrying the whole game. Negative comments were thrown at everyone on the team. When I tried to explain to her how she had it nice and easy on bot with an
and
to poke down constantly for an easy 8 kills by 7 min mark, it was "you suck" this and that. Etc.
Match 3:http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1706950832/39787236?tab=overview
- It was
vs
and
top. I had literally almost what felt like no chance to hold either of them off. Both of them have a ranged poke and I could not really get any blows in on either of them or creeps. It was a pretty quick loss and you can see from the match history that the enemy team snowballed fast. We lost top early in the game because I could not hold it by myself.
Match 4:http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1706439491/39787236?tab=overview
- It was
vs
mid. I'll be honest, I had little to what felt like no chance of getting in any blows or creeps here. Any time I would try to get the jump on a creep or her, she would just hit me with her E or Q. I can't land any spears on her because she is constantly behind creeps because I can't even kill them, and she can just throw e's all day and instantly explode them. Any time I would land a spear, she would q and end up killing me or running away. I don't understand how I am supposed to hold my ground against a champion that can kill me from a ranged distance. When all my damage is either based on melee range (which is where I don't want to go vs a ranged that can root me like that), or hitting them with q and hopping in. I felt powerless because I was constantly pushed back and could not do anything. When I asked for help all I got was "nidalee has the most powerful poke in the game, just spear her" "Go buy some MR boots or something with tenacity so her stun doesn't last as long". There were all obvious helpful tips. I knew all of this. The problem is I can't get gold to get this stuff because I am unable to even really push creeps or 3 feet past my dang tower.
I don't understand what I am doing wrong really, and I'm not sure how to fix my gameplay. I'm going to include a link to me playing a match and I would appreciate helpful feedback on what I am doing wrong, and positive comments on what I'm doing right.
Appreciate all the help.
