I'm not asking you to win your lane. Just please, PLEASE, PLEEEASE don't feed.

People don't understand these two things:

  1. Laning phase is one phase of the game. Losing lane does not mean GG six minutes into the game. So if you don't win your lane, don't sweat it. Just don't feed the enemy so they can tear apart your entire team later in teamfights.

  2. If you are not winning lane, you must, must, must adapt your playstyle to be safe. Focus on farming, not killing. Focus on the game as a whole rather than on your solo impact on the game.

So many times, entire games are thrown in the trash because people simply throw themselves into the fray no matter their stats, and die. Over, and over and over and over again.

Some wise League player once told me, and I'll tell you all this one more time: Don't focus on killing more. Focus on dying less.

Okay I'll come to your lane and farm your cs. It's not really safe for me to farm in my lane, and you don't want me to feed, right?

I agree. I main TwistedFate in mid, and sometimes my early games can be tight since I don't have my AP items yet and TF's kinda squishy. But the best thing to do is defensively hold down the lane and farm. Then, once I recall for the first time, I have the money to get some good stuff to use against the enemy midlaner who doesn't have any champ kill experience yet. From there things get a lot easier and I can start pushing/making kills.

here is what some other people don't understand:

  1. laning phase is one phase of the game but if they are winning laning phase they are likely better players.

  2. when every lane is losing the laning phase there is no magic thing that happens when end game begins. the better players are still better and now they have a huge gold lead. they almost always are still better at end game.

please just surrender the game when every lane lost. why do games have to stretch out to 40 mins when it is 24-7 at 20?

a very wise player once told me and ill tell you this just once: if you never surrender then you are an idiot
