hello discussion forum. i have come too you because ive been having a problem in silver elo where 1 lane seriously throws the game and causes havoc for the other players. i recently had a garen top lane go 1/6/0 in the lane phase of the game and the enemy ORN got fed somehow. it was such a big discrepancy that orn was able to 1 v 5 the rest of the team practically and i repeatedly asked garen to play safer and potentially farm under turret. of course he didn't listen didn't ward and died over and over and at somepoint it felt like he was trolling by constantly engaging in losing exchanges. i would like an in game message put in when a person starts to get in the habit of feeding. i would like it to mention tips on how to stay alive like farming under turret and for it to explain how losing your lane that badly can tilt the game into the enemies favor. i personally am getting tired of trying to help these people with simple macro tips to keep them alive and give me a chance to carry because even if i go 3/0 bot lane if my top laner goers 1/9 there top laner is so fed and so much higher level than the rest of us that it becomes unfair. also for dive champs like zed and talon if the player becomes to aggresive and just dives and dies and is 1/8/2 it should give them a message that says teamwork can win games. im tired of them trying to be cheeky and jump on the enemy when they have no back up and they die. all in all im very dissapointed how in lower elos its not about how good you are but about how bad that 1 teammate can be because even if i play my mind out it just takes 1 feeder to throw the game.

Hello, summoner barberecderek! First of all, do NOT ever tell any of your teammates they are feeding, because that is just a catalyst to a in-game "disaster" as I like to say it. I am giving you this advice because your title "telling people they are FEEDING" implies that you are doing that in-game. Second, I am not sure whether Silver division players would get that idea of mine. I have being playing Kayle top for a while now, and we all know that Kayle is pretty bad early-to-mid game, but late game you become a beast(she is perfect example of how to recover after a tough/bad laning phase). Basically, all you do is looking for an opportunity to roam out of your lanes(your opponent may freeze which makes it almost impossible to farm some times) being it mid, enemy jungle, river, teleporting bot lane, etc. This method requires quite a lot in-game knowledge and map awareness to pull off but I believe it can be quite useful in the right hands. Third, since I saw you play ADC from your post, I would say that you could greatly help your losing top-laner by applying a lot of presure bot lane if you are winning. For example, if you are 3/0 as stated above, you could even try to go for the turret, and then swapping with your top-laner so they can get some free CS, while the enemy team coordinateс their moves on the map. Fourth, if the game is even for your lane, you could try doing a high-risk, high-reward play on your lane, but as said it is risky and can have negative effects on your lane. In addition, if your whole team is behind, but not a lot, high risk plays are much better statistically then playing defensive, because by doing these plays you can potentially get back on track winning the game. Finally, the 0/high number of deaths issue you said about in your post is pretty hard one to solve. It depends on quite the number of factors to solve, but like I said, if your top lane is really falling behind, just try to focus on the other part of the map(applies to early game, 0 to 6-10 minutes in). Requires whole team to play as one though to pull off. Overall, you have to just put up with your team even if it is diffucult given the recent changes in the ranked system, and do your best. Hope I was helpful! Good luck on your journey on the Fields of Justice! scmaster
