Trust me. It's 10 times worse when your team is pushing mid when the inhib is already down and both teams are just about even in gold and damage.

Shit stresses me out.

Agreed. Let Supers do their job. Don't make the enemy's defense easier.

fucking agreed. A champion has to go handle the supers my idea of winning is to break 1 inhib at a time before rushing a base. Trust me 6 supers all pushing at once is not something most teams can stop. also if something DOES go terribly wrong it makes life hell for the enemy even if they ace you and you got towers up.

Even worse: top that cant splitpush only wants to splitpush. Somehow eventually gets inhib. Keeps splitting the lane with no inhib as though there's anything to get there.

This is off topic, but do the Arbiters not show up as Blue anymore?

They don't show up as blue in Memes and Games. They show up as blue in EDIT only Player Behavior and Moderation and Miscellaneous. Thanks for the clarification Wuks!

Ah, thanks, both of you. I was worried that the program had been scrapped or something awful like that.

to be fair, you could then go for the nexus turret instead of stopping at inhib turret. taking an inhib turret might be easier but sometimes i wonder if the game could've been decisively ended if we had just gone for the nexus (after losing a game from trading inhibs back and forth).

This gets down to a significant problem, I'm not sure if it's at all elos, or just my own. Being that I usually play against silver/gold in normals and I am bronze in ranked, I can fairly easily say in these three ranks at least this problem is a rampant issue where people just do not understand map pressure.

You should never split in that situation. You should 5 man bot/top

Sraeg2013Apr 21, 20171 votes

Buuuuull shit.

It's a complete waste of the Baron buff if you just group 5.

Baron buff itself doesn't provide enough stats to just warrant grouping. One fuck up and everybody loses the buff and the enemy has free reign to counter push.

If you split and ward the enemy team will have to deal with you one by one with bigger numbers (since you can just sit back and let empowered minions do the job).

Baron AND Elder. As long as one of the side waves isn't pushing in to your inhib turret, and you already have one inhibtor down, you should group as 5 and seige. As long as you're patient someone will have to deal with the supers, you break other inhib turret and get another inhibtor then rotate and get the last one, or if you're ahead enough you can just end it there.

Sp33d Zer0Apr 21, 20171 votes

If it was just Baron yes, I agree. But the situation here is that you got ELDER

That means the game is at least 35 minutes in and you have downed an enemy inhib. It also means that death timers are extremely long. If you just group bot and even get a 1 person advantage in a fight, you auto win becuase you ALREADY have super minions in mid lane.

Sraeg2013Apr 21, 20171 votes

Incorrect. Read the OP again.

The inhibitor is OPEN not DESTROYED. As in the tower is down, but the inhibitor still up.

While yes, the inhibitor should be top priority, ignoring other lanes is one of the most common mistakes that end up losing matches. At the very least they should be pushed to not endanger your own base, optimally pushed far enough for an easy rotation to continue siege from there, at best on top of the enemy tower to force them to make a choice.

I've had situations where people tunnel-visioned on one lane so much the other two were being taken down by minions alone. In 99% of cases it resulted in either a lost lane or lost buffs (Baron, Elder, Blue, Red, whatever) on people who decided to siege regardless and died while somebody else went to reset side lanes.
