How Do You Carry?

ItsOrval··1 votes·582 views

I keep having these games where ill be like 6/0 or 7/0 at the ten minute mark, but then we still end up losing the game (usually because our team doesnt group at all or listen). So how am i supposed to carry to win? I went 6/0 last game before the 10 minute mark as Nocturne Mid Lane. Then every lane i went to, the enemy champ would just back to their base, or, if theyre a trist/gnar/kass (all 3 of those were in the game), they could basically just fly away when I engaged. After 5 minutes of not being able to get a kill off this, I just go back to my lane to freeze lane and farm cs. Then thats when Rengar camped me, basically deleting me in a few seconds. I took all 6 outer towers down (couldnt get the inhib towers due to how hard they protected it), and then after that, the team basically didnt want to group thus we lost. Olaf kept getting caught, they got baron, they ended. So how am I supposed to carry? Ive been practicing over and over on my Silver 2 alt to try to carry in ranked, but I can never seem to do it mid/late game.

i typically try to carry by making sure i get my arms around the object , i bend at the knees make sure my balance and center of gravity is in a good position then i get a good grip and left with the legs. remember lifting with the back can lead to injury.

Vision control and communication.

If you're playing Noc, it shouldn't be so much of a problem for you to gank someone without getting spotted by vision using your ultimate, but if you're just "walking" into Lane, be sure they don't know you're on your way.

If you're getting camped, ward so you know you're getting camped.

And communicating with your team is important. Most people have a decent idea when to group, but if they aren't, try play calling. "Group mid" "Drag in 30, sweep vision and ward"

And be polite about it. Pings are actually better in most cases because people often take text as toxic, even when meant well.

Yeah, its just whenever i did either one of them, the Gnar/Kassadin/Trist would just use their ability to dash away to where I couldnt get them (unless i fought under tower).

I only have so many :( Should i buy a sightstone lol?

We were telling Olaf to group with us, but he'd keep going mid pushing it all the ways to their base while we were too far away, hed get 1v5d everytime, and i wasnt gonna ult into a 2v5.

I would probably suggest something like Frozen Mallet, a Phage item, Botrk, or ghostblade if you don't already have one, something that will help you stick to them. Your Q and E should help. If you're playing as an assassin, wait to go in when they are low enough that you can kill them before they get away, or communicate with your teammate to have them bait/force their dash so it's on cooldown. Also, ask about summoners.

I hate to say it, but yes, you may have to sometimes. If your team isn't working with you and you are really needing to carry, you need to rely on yourself.

And that will happen. Unfortunately, you may need to let him feed and commit to divide their attention, like a split push, or have your team follow the idiot, turning his lunacy into a team push.

Ok, thanks. I usually build item 3071 item 3047 item 3142 item 3156 item 3153 item 3147 in this order. So ill try moving BoRK up on the list a bit.

NEVER get too greedy, if you get killed your teams fucked since you're carrying, tell them to play safe and ward a lot, if they don't wanna group just push minions in your lane and help them push theirs so they can get what they want done amd group
