League of Legends is a STRATEGY GAME

You do not win by "GO BARON NOW, FIGHT, NOW DO THIS NOW GO GO GOGOGGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO KILLs KILLS KILLS" every 2 seconds.

To many games I've seen lost just because people didn't plan out what they were going to do. Going to do baron? Ok what are you going to do after? Are your waves shoved? Is it even worth it? Wheres the enemy? Do we have enough damage?

I know you don't have voice comms but a simple "Ok guys were going to do X, so we can end up getting X". And not just blinding starting fights because you had an urge to fight.

Example I had a recent game with a Yasuo would just Constantly fight and fight and fight. Without planning anything ahead, sure he would chase someone out for a kill but realize that none of the lanes waves were pushed and we couldn't contest any objectives afterwards. He would start baron without warding around for the enemy team. He would constantly dive an enemy for no reason other then to kill and die trying or end up losing objectives because he didn't see the enemy on the other side of the map.

Point is, don't blindly to shit just because you want kills. League of Legends is a strategy game NOT a fighting game.

you need to be able to make decisive calls, like "GO BARON NOW" If you sit around and wait to come up with a strategy, you might lose a small window of opportunity you could have used to have gotten baron. You're right, don't fight pointlessly. Don't get into team fights for the sake of getting into teamfights. always look for the next objective to take, and do what needs to be done to get that objective. There is strategy to getting picks and making split second calls though.

People playing this game thinks that it's single player game. They think they can 1v5 and when they lose they are mad we didn't help them. It does not matter we were far away. Id does not matter we didn't have health or mana. It does not matter they had baron.

Naah. Don't look on map, don't pay attention to pings, timers or wards. Don't even pay attention to your mates. Just go 1vN-number of enemies, and get killed. That is good tactics.

Constantly pushing lane like hell, getting ganked by enemy jungler for the 3rd time, and write "/all report my jungler no help" That is good tactic.

I agree that people should learn how to make decisions fast, based on the information you have in game, but there are some long term decisions you can make even before you choose your champion in champion select.

And it is not so hard: I won't push, I will farm. I won't be greedy, I will live. I won't facecheck bushes, I will ward. I won't solo, I will wait for mates. I won't run for kills, I will do objectives. I won't focus on my lane. I will watch map. I won't warn other on chat, I will ping. I won't flame, I will be polite.

Simple strategy for every game + fast decisions in game.
