I recently started playing LOL again with a little bit more knowledge of the gameplay. However, I recognized some problems how I play my games. My KDA also kind of shows it -_-. So can you please answer some of my questions, it would be really helpful to get tips from experienced players.

How do you dodge Skillshots well? Stupid Question. Which jungle should I place my wards in the most? In my jungle, or the enemies jungle? When is it a good time to take objectives dragon and baron? What should I do when one players on my team leaves? Is it possible to win a game instead of surrendering? How do you counter split pushes? What do you do when you are underpowered to your enemy laner? Sorry for bombarding you with so many questions. Answering one is good enough. I also might have future questions that I might post in the future :P.

Copy/Paste from Previous Post:

Dodging Skillshots comes, primarily, from intuition. That is something you will develop over time as your knowledge of the games Champions and their abilities adds to your experience. When you know what the enemy can do, and what they want to do, it's easier to predict it and dodge away. Also, as a simpler point, moving side to side in relation to them is also useful. Never stand still.

Warding should be primarily where you think the enemy may come from. If you can ward the enemy jungle, then you should, but never when you don't know where the enemy jungler is. You could walk right into death. It's quite common.

Teams should, and I stress should because in lower elos teamwork is a commodity, attempt to take dragon after winning a fight in bot lane or when your team has established control over the dragon zone (The area around the dragon pit). However, this is a much more in-depth question than you would expect it to be. I would recommend watching YouTube videos of Junglers like Foxtrot who can explain well when they like to take objectives and why.

You can still win 4v5 but it's hard. I use these instances to work on things I normally wouldn't attempt in a game that isn't over by default. Like Flash Ulting people, for example. Continue to play hard, but know that it's rare for a team to win down a man. Report the AFK and move on to the next game.

The only way to counter split pushers is to rotate with them. As I said above, team work in lower elos is lacking, so this can sometimes be difficult to do. If your laner is splitting, follow them around and farm with them.

When you are behind, you must be cautious. You are weaker and thus, must play accordingly. In these instances, you want to try to prevent the enemy lead from getting any bigger and wait for your opportunities to make an impact. Playing it safe is always the way to go when you're behind the ball already.
