I'm sorry, but you can't convince me that you've made the same mistake in lane 7 times and you care

Maybe it's just me, but when I'm in a lane and reach 0/3/0 while lacking in farm I usually change my approach. I just don't see any logical conclusion that leads to you dying that many times with you not altering your playstyle in the slightest.

Sometimes, if the player you fed is actually capable, it's genuinely too late to do anything, and if you go anywhere near them they will 2 shot you. The turret can't really help when you're down 2 levels.

And sometimes you're Rengar, so even though you fed 3 kills, you just hit 6, so that 3/0 Kayle is basically a minion to you.

Generally, my answer is build defenses, specifically against your lane opponent and die slower. But that's not always possible given your role. Which is why I don't generally like playing glass cannons.

This habit, I tend to associate with noobs who do not know how to play safe. (either they don't know the capabilities of their/their opponent's champion. or don't understand proper positioning. ) Though if they are that far behind, your best bet would be to swap lanes with someone who is doing better.

8th is the charm.

Ahh the 8th death, where enough death timer minutes have passed for the mind to evolve into the bronze age

I had a game where I played ADC. Lost the first trade where we killed one of them while ezreal killed both of us. I proceeded to play safer, even going as far to stand BEHIND the tower to avoid his q spam. Not my best game but I tried to adapt and play as safe as I could. They still repeatedly dove and killed me under turret and the jg yelled at me for trolling when i tried to take camps. Sometimes there's literally nothing you can do.

yea well thats true, but you can try to gank other lanes and consider yours lost, gank a lane take an objective etc

dont stick around tho 5v5 usually also wont be much better if your already behind unless you clearly have a very superior teamfight comp.

And taking everyone else's farm/xp wont help either it will put everyone else behind too, i see that so often botlane is losing hard fed 7 kills loses tower decides its best to share farm/xp with mid now hes behind too opponents group mid with lvl/gold advantage and just turretdive.

I was smurfing in a ranked game and I killed my opponent 16 times in lane. Every single time he tried his best to escape. Every time I tried to predict where he was predicting where I'd ambush him from. His teammates were flaming him in all chat accusing him of feeding. My point is to say you never know what's going through someone's head. He could be playing his heart out and just outclassed.

Because their premade buddies usually carry them in the end. Also, very low MMR solo players are sometimes teamed with very high MMR players to balance out the average MMR rating between teams, so when they get crushed 1v1 there's a decent chance they get carried.

Like when a 1/8/2 Talon top rushed BOTRK in ranked yet won. In the end he saw victory so he has no reason to look back and learn from his mistakes, so he'll keep making them until he loses several games in a row.

Still, there's no arguing his team would have been much better off if he just hadn't died that much. There's pressuring through overextending, and there's also doing that same thing VERY poorly.

Why should he care though? He got a victory screen, he gained LP, at best his build/strategy "totally worked" and at worst he'll say it was a bad game but won't review his mistakes because everything turned out fine. If your car broke down on the road but your insurance policy fully covered and processed towing, rental, repair, and a cab to get you home on time, would you ask the mechanic to give you a detailed explanation of the actual problem and how to prevent it? I know for a fact some people wouldn't. This is the thought process of players who make the same mistake seven times in lane, not your average League player.

I play with 2 friend (so 3 man premade), last game, we got matched again a whole team of solo players. Our two "solos" losed horribly. We ended up with a support AFK, and a meat-bag ADC. Other game are generaly similar, both premade end up fed, and it's up to "who got the worse solos"

Oh god, what an evil sentence. It's league's version of "Just a prank, bro"

Shit happens.

Had a 13 death renekton game against a Leona top.

Between Leona, Udyr, and the mid lane TF I wasn't allowed to lane for almost 20 minutes of the game. We got a minor advantage in bot lane from them always being top, but the three of them killed our ADC and support instantly in mid-game fights. As the sole front-line, I sorta... evaporated... with no gold for items.

My thought process usually is 'well, I very nearly won that fight, so if I play slightly better next time, I should be fine!'

Of course, they now have an item/exp advantage on me, so I lose that fight, but then the same thing happens...

I don't usually get to 8, though. Usually around 3 or 4.

I played Fizz into an AurelionSol and crushed him. I then tried to give him some advice since he seemed to just be feeding at some point and he replied "STFU I know how to play Sol. I'm not a stupid Bronze" I'm Bronze by default so I found this entertaining :P

Point: Some people refuse to learn, so I don't mind watching them burn.
