Tips on how to better your game mechanics and benefit the team
On tanks: Some of you golds I've noticed don't have the balls to front line while playing a tank. I see tanks hiding behind their carries with full health. Protip: Learn to take a freaking punch so your carries can do damage.
Laning Mid as AP range: Auto attacks give you an edge. Especially with long auto attack range champs like Annie. Every time you know your opponent is about to pick up a last hit, throw an auto attack maybe 3. If they fight back after 3, use your spells. When you know they're gonna cs, it makes it easier to land skill shots.
AD carry: You either win bot lane or you don't. If you die twice in bot, time to stop fuckin feeding. 2 deaths, sit back, shut up, get zoned and wait for your jungler or mid. Adding kills to the enemy adc is just adding unnecessary difficulty in the game.
Top: Farm. But never prioritize it over defending if your team can't without you. You see the enemy team grouped up a mile away from turret, run your asss to wherever that is or get ready to TP.
Jungle: Some people think jungle is just getting your team kills. Fuck no! Get outta here! I'm gonna word this as fast as possible. Oh enemy lane burned flash? Time when it's gonna be up if you feel like being a try hard. And camp. the. living. shit. out. of them. Until it's back up. Try to burn it again though. Rinse repeat. Another thing is, visit a lane just to get some damage on the enemy. Make them burn mana on you and if they so happen to die with that gank, SMASHING! Getting damage on the enemy alone helps a lot. And if they burn spells on you that gives your teammate an edge. Enemy just spent mana, used a summoner spell and or whatever else. You get the point.
Support: I sometimes see supports that refuse to get a sight stone. THIS IS WHY YOU ARE WHERE YOU ARE. Other than that, your job is to peel for whoever's carrying harder, between your adc and apc. If APC doesn't really need peels cause he/she has self peels, just stick to your adc. If neither of them need peels, go front line fool! Wards. Wards are good. If you're able to zone in laning phase, do so. If you're not sure, go find out so you know what your situation is at bot.
Rotations: Before you group, push all lanes past river then group afterwards (place some wards get your trinket). Preferably mid if not taken yet. From mid you can easily pick another lane to rotate and conquer.
Trinkets: If you can't understand how important these are, then you're not at all a good player. Say 3 teammates get the 2 ward trinket, that's already 6 on the map not including pinks and sight stone wards.
Early game: Do you like winning in 20 minutes? Who the doesn't?? How do you force a 20 minute win? Psychology plays a vital role in this. Understand the player's mind. In gold and below, their minds are weak. The key is to break them. How? How do you break the enemy team's mentality?
Ready? Simple. Try your best to not die before 20. Not being greedy is a good start. While this in mind, crush your lane. If you got a kill on him, keep it up but play it smart. If you can't crush your lane the least you can do is not die. When team fights roll in and they have their last bits of hope left, just have a nice grouping flow going. Constantly group and take towers. Back all together so no time is wasted waiting for a teammate that's farming for an item. Making his/her ENTIRE team wait. For that one item. Turning the subject back on player mentality. Most people are ragers (like I when teammates don't listen to calls). What I'm trying to say is, the enemy team's normally raging at player X for dying a lot which is 2 maybe 3 deaths in laning phase. So pick a target and prey on them. Give the other enemies some love to.
On Baron: Golds, like I said before your minds are weak. When enemy team gets Baron, people tend to think "Oh just turtle baron out" Not always the solution. Baron doesn't make them immortal, they're still prone to getting outplayed. The way I see it, you let them sit with that Baron buff turtling, they'll catch up if they're behind. Or if they're ahead, stalling is even worse.
Presence: No ADC your farm isn't more important than grouping. That goes for you too top lane. Enemies will notice when your team's dispersed. That's when they group. And that's when you group. Applies for taking dragon too. ADC quit farming and freaking help with dragon. Your individual farm isn't greater than buffing your entire team. Go. Freaking. Dragon.
Best advice I can give: Never. And I mean never, take an opponent lightly. You may be the shit but there's always someone better. The moments I find myself being cocky and take my opponent lightly, I end up dying. Then I'm like "This guy don't deserve that kill I'm gonna kill him" Then death repeats itself setting back that lane.
