I've been top, jng player for like decades and I feel like everyone else can't do their job well. Games are lost whne lanes start losing, especially mid and bot. So should I practice mid lane where the carry potential is huge? I'm currently silver 1.

In general, it feels like games are won or lost by whatever position you're not playing.

  • If you're not Top, your top feeds a split pushing menace and then leaves them alone to demolish your towers/inhibitors
  • If you're not Jungle, you'll get no ganks while the enemy jungler is always camping you
  • If you're not Mid, the enemy snowballing assassin/burst mage will roam rampant
  • If you're not ADC, your teams ADC won't know how to right click on towers
  • If you're not Support, your support won't buy a sightstone, the team will have no vision and walk into a death bush

Even as a Mid Main I've felt like I could carry better from other positions from time to time. Then I play another position and realize "oh, that other position is costing us the game," and the above results.
