Playing Safe Is Fine.

Playing like you don't Exist is not.

I see this way to often when i play a champion that's got a good engage, more often than not when a team is lined up ready for the pickings even if it's an obvious 2v3, 3v4, 4v5 whatever and our team has an advantage, if i go in, no one does anything. Like, i understand you fed your laner, or maybe my own laner got fed somehow, but they still make mistakes, they still get overconfident and they can still be beaten. The only reason, for example, that the enemy top laner keeps pushing you in is because they know your jungler won't do anything and isn't applying any pressure and they know you don't know how to punish. If this kind of stuff continues you might as well surrender because what your doing in that situation as the jungler is telling the enemy team "You can do whatever you want, i don't care." and more often than not that's what happens, they do whatever they want, never get punished for whatever mistake they make and we ultimately lose the game.

This isn't just true for Jungler's, laner's need to understand that you can't just let your laner make mistakes without punishing them, did your laner go OOM from poking to much? Beat, the, shit, out, of, them! You can't let the enemy get away with toying with you, you need to have some initiative and actually fight someone, even if your behind THEY CAN STILL FUCK UP! THEY ARE HUMAN! DON"T BE AFRAID TO SHOW THEM WHO'S BOSS WHEN THEY MAKE A MISTAKE!

End of Rant.

Been there when I was playing Cassiopeia during the laning phase.

She doesn't have an early game and only has a strong late game... So I have no choice, but to play it safe. https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2819541794/235339808?tab=overview

At the same time, Cassiopeia does need buffs right now and could use a strong early game again so she can be both a lane bully and a late game hypercarry once again.

Hold up... She doesn't have an early game? Cass? Cassiopeia? The champion who hits like a ton of bricks at level 1, then ramps up with access to her q and w? The "dont face check a brush because Cass will ult you and one shot you" Cass?

Just because champions scale doesn't mean they have weak early games. Cassiopeia is actually super strong early. She's an insanely strong laner bully, especially if you position correctly in lane. Another champ who's slept on early is Ryze .

Problem is if her laner out clears her it could either land her with low enough mana where she cannot hard fight at lvl 3 or pushed under her tower. Really depends on the lane matchup and thats why you need to use your brain when you want to force a fight in side lanes early.

Dude, I'm so with you. People just don't trust their team mates and don't want to think beyond the view point of their own power curve. Let me give you an example. I was playing an Ashe game the other day, and I'll fully admit I didn't do well for level 1-4 or so. I took some bad trades, we got pushed under tower, we got dove. So now I'm in lane vs a MF with a kill an assist and like 8 cs advantage over me, she's also a level up.

Now they get cocky thinking they have done their job winning the lane. The enemy supports starts spamming roams. So after my first quality shop I come back and see via warding that their jungler and support are way over by red buff. MF steps forward to farm and poke at me, so I arrow her and walk up to start autoing her. My support does not help me but begins spamming back pings. I die in the 1v1 because she is ahead. My support then types out "WTF are you doing you'r so behind". And I'm just like...

I mean come on people, ADC's are not like Fiora where their damage and survivability go hand in hand. They build glass cannon and are susceptible to aggression. I doesn't matter if she's a level and 800 gold on me. If we 2v1 her with a stun she will die.
