PSA: Just because you're fed doesn't mean you should stop CSing!

This is probably the biggest problem in my ELO (Bronze). I don't know about you but this is one of the most triggering things in this game. Just because you got fed doesn't mean you're automatically going to win the game and be unkillable. If you don't maintain your lead by CSing, the enemy team is going to catch up eventually and proceed to wreck you. Granted, when I get fed, I sometimes forget to CS but now that I main GP, I see the importance of CS.

To further clarify the what I'm talking about, here is an example;

Your Midlaner, who is Lux gets fed off the enemy Yasuo. She now has a fantastic lead of 7/0/2, 29 CS at 10 minutes. Yasuo is 0/5/1, with 50 CS. 20 minutes later, Lux has 10/2/8 53 CS but Yasuo now has 212 CS, 6/5/7 and has bought his item 3046, item 3031 and item 3072. He proceeds to demolish Lux and in doing so he wins the game for his team.

The thing is, just because you got fed, CSing doesn't become a chore, it's still a priority. I'm pretty sure that 12 CS = 1 kill and If someone farms hard, that's as good as getting fed.

This here is one of the secrets of league.

As a top laner I can usually tell the difference between veteran top laners and "noobs" due to how good they can cs from behind or ahead.

You're not fed if you're not CSing.

It's actually all relative. Remember this: if you're 7/0 and you focus on farm instead of shoving your lead down the enemy's throats then you are throwing your lead.

What do I mean by this? The longer the game goes on the less a gold lead means. Aka a 10k gold lead is huge at 20 minutes but not nearly as relevant at 40 minutes (you have 2 full items vs their 1 full item, versus 5 full items versus their 4 full items)

If you get a lead you can't simply farm against your laner. Go with your jungler to invade their jungle or gank other lanes. You have to snowball your gold lead exponentially or you're allowing the enemy team back into the game. It's true you have to keep farming, but sitting in lane farming vs a Yasuo is not worth your time. Shove him into tower and get towers/ more kills for your team.

I disagree.

Ahri : Nasus, dude, why do you only have 100 cs at 20mins? You should keep stacking.

Ally Triple Kill

Nasus: +18! What's that? I am stacking (30-1-15. 500 stacks from champions) Ashe : But that's --

Ally Penta Kill!

Hecarim : Just let him do what he wants

Nasus: Everybody stacks, stacks, stacks, sta-sta-sat-sta stacks! (If you ever heard the shots song before)

fizz 7 kills 40 cs at midgame.

TYPICAL BRONZE.

On my discord, i have an honorary role for people who don't cs. 60CS @40 minutes, because i was spectating a bronze game and SEEN it.

I play a lot of marksmen, so CS is really valuable to stay in the game. Usually they spike kind of Meh at one item, and then once you hit the second item the game really starts. I try to measure progress by: Damage Dealt to Champions, Towers, Deaths, and Objectives. I think that's a better indicator of how you're doing than just any one stat alone.

Think about it. Someone with a really high farm count likely has lanes pushed in a jungle camps killed, and is actively exerting pressure on the map. If you can do this, and be in important teamfights and objective fights (Like Dragon and Baron) then chances are you're doing good. Imo, Deaths are the #1 thing that works against a team because it takes time off of the map that you could be doing other things. Just my perspective since i've played through diamond, and with my D3-challenger friends.

As another bronze, I tend to see the opposite problem... Mid is full build and adc is trying to farm? Boom, wave's gone. Aced the team and ping to push down mid? Adc goes bot for that sweet 4 CS. Top lane? Say hello to the 4v5 while top gets full build at 35 minutes, 400 CS at 45 minutes, finally takes inner tower at 50 minutes while never leaving top once...

In my case as a support main I only have that issue with thresh supp, getting into mid/late game I sometimes forget about relic shield stacks... although it doesn't help that bronze players don't know what relic shield is and will actively try to stop you from farming at all costs because "supports shouldn't farm." I even had a twitch flame me in all chat for stealing his CS.

Wow, this post was more salty than I expected it to be...

The biggest benefit of getting fed early is that now no one can keep you from farming.

(3x17)+(3x23) = 122 gold per wave without a cannon minion.

Champs kills are 300 gold (goes down with each death without a kill or assist)

3 waves is worth more than a champ. This is why in higher elo people tend to look at cs more than kills unless it's like 7-0-1

If you're fed you should stop CSing and siege a lane and then seige another or get nexus.

Takazaki6/4/2017, 7:44:48 AM1 votes

actually Cs is negligible if your fed and roaming. if done properly you should push the wave and then roam to the nearest lane but even that wont net you enough CS for a decent CS score. uyou might end up with like 100~120 ish endgame

I suck at csing, so i just farm champs for gold

When I am SUPER fed, like 20/2, at 25 minutes, I will just kill the enemy and give my team free reign to farm Of course I am going to take some, but catching my team up is all that really matters
