A 1 kill or 1 assist advantage should not gaurentee a win in your lane

It is complete bullshit how some champions can just have 1 kill or even just an assist and snowball off of it with basically no way to stop them from doing so. I get assassins should snowball, and a few other champions can too, but after just 1 kill or just 1 assist is not right. FTG doesn't help this, but it is less likely for champions to snowball off of it than a kill or an assist. It seems that a non assassin champion can do less with a solo, FB kill than an assassin can do with an assist from a gank.

Darius : I disagree.

For real tho, you are right. I remember when you needed at least a couple of waves alone with the tower to take it, and you needed consistant outplays to win a lane. Now you win off 1 lee-sin gank. It's insane.

If you don't play like they don't have an advantage over you, you won't feed their snowball. You can close the gap later.

This is a huge problem I see with lower tier players, including in my own elo; X player dies once in a fair fight, then from then on they keep treating it like it's a fair fight when it isn't and it gets worse each time. All they have to do is stop going at it like they are on even terms.

This is a team game, and there are others to help tip the odds in your favor when you would otherwise lose alone. I just now had this happen with my ADC Ashe, she just kept going up too close and frequently alone against Blitz/Ez, and would simply die with no chance of escape or getting a 1 for 1. I ended up with more kills and less than half her deaths; all she needed to do was stay near the turret behind the wave and farm.
