Tips for your gameplay.

Rotations I saw you make two big rotation errors. First, when you took top tower off a gank, you stayed top lane. Generally, unless a sidelaner can threaten the enemy inner turret, he should move to the opposite lane after taking his opponent’s outer turret. This rotation forces the enemy to either match the rotation, leaving their ‘good’ lane to farm without a turret and letting their ‘bad’ lane keep losing, or not rotate and lose the 2v1 against the rotated sidelane faster than they win it on the other side of the map. Rotating would have extended your lead by letting your botlane pressure Herald while you kept their turret safe. By staying in lane, you traded farm and wasted your lead.

Second, you literally walked from top lane to bottom river and back instead of using Teleport on either trip, even as Illaoi threatened your turret. Teleport is for making big plays or at least not losing your turret for attempting them. Use it when you see either chance.

Pings I noticed you weren’t pinging to communicate, especially at dragon, then complaining that your team wasn’t coming to help. Look ahead and ask yourself, before a fight, what you and your team could get if you win. If you win it, then immediately ping to take it. A crab or buff after a skirmish. A turret after a gank. A Dragon after a fight. A Baron after picking their jungler. An inhibitor after an Ace. Don’t give the enemy team time to recover.
