The bait forest, AKA throwing your game.

The enemy team either has baron or took more than 1 inhib of yours. You can teamfight them really well, especially in your own base, but they haven't come into your base in the last 2 seconds it takes you to walk out of it. What do you do? You mindlessly facecheck every bush in the jungle of course!

Seriously tho WTF? My last couple games we do exceptionally well in teamfights, to the point of 1 death for 5 kills some of the times. We're pushing their base against 4 of them while 1 split pushes down our inhib, that's fine, we back and take baron on the way and our second inhib is taken, we get back to base, get some kills, push down some towers then back to clear out the super minions. After that's done everyone just walks through the jungle incredibly spread out while the enemy team goes in a 5-man formation trying to catch one of us because it's silver 5 and everybody is an idiot.

No matter how many pings i put or how much i spam chat for them to get back and defend the base instead of dying to a bush gank they just sit out there. Even if the enemy team didn't wait in the bush to gank they would just walk up into their jungle completely spread out. All of them. They'd walk up to towers and slap em a few times tanking the hits if they needed to, anything to stay out of our base that needs to be defended. We could all have full builds and 30k gold leftover and they'd still be clearing out jungle camps alone. The entirety of the enemy team could walk into the base and they wouldn't step out of the jungle to stop it. It always feels like im on that team that can't possibly imagine a late game strategy, they just play it like their respawns are 5 seconds. I've never won a game because the enemy team was pushed to base and then they just walk out into their deaths one-by-one. NEVER have i ever encountered that in a game leading to my victory it always leads to my loss and i have NO idea how to prevent it.

If any of you out there do this, either if you're behind or if you're ahead just stop. Stay with everybody, if 1 person has to stay in the base to defend it and all 5 of them are up and out of vision, stay in the base. At the very least stay together with the 4 of you. Would you rather lose at the 1/1000000000 chance you'll end the game 1 minute faster or win the game?

I had a Ryze top yesterday. He said "i don't believe in tanks", hence Ryze top. He was against Rengar, following him to bushes every time.

The last time i really cared to look it was 5-6 kills for Rengar before 10min.

I had fun in that game. Not. Tip of the day : BE UNTILTABLE.

Those clowns.

And here I thought "the bait forest" referred to my Shaco play.
