The HUGEST problem in Bronze and Silver elo...

is refusal to group.

I've been playing for 6 years now. And it does not change. Getting out of Bronze and Silver every year is a total fuckin nightmare because the team doesn't realize they have an advantage and they wander around like morons until the enemy team catches up and aces us.

I don't know how many fuckin times this has happened but holy shit. I almost swung at my computer. I almost did it. After literally the 1,000th time of this happening, I don't know.

The average person just doesn't have the cognitive ability to take the mouse and click it over to someone else. They don't. This is why so many plat and diamond players tell me to split push the fuck out of lanes. And I believe them now.

I'm sorry but most of the people who play league aren't smart.

You're not. Chances are you're a part of the percentage the vast majority of people, who cannot think. Please learn to shut the fuck up and listen to someone who knows what they're doing.

This society has bred our people to become entitled shit for brains and it makes life extremely hard for people who work the asses off. Man. I don't know.

Not all champions are designed for grouping. Some enemy champions also punish grouping.

Looking at auto attack reliant champions, excluding marksmen, they either become splitpushers (for example, Aatrox Tryndamere ) or the clean up crew (MasterYi is the prime example of this) unless they're so hilariously fed that they can engage a 1v3 and kill all 3.

Brand Velkoz Orianna for instance can heavily punish grouped teams if given even a second of an opening. Juggernauts like Darius Mordekaiser Illaoi also will punish your team if you can't instantly knock them down, darius will heal a good chunk of his health then trigger his passive into ults, Morde will hurt like hell, and illaoi will both heal and AOE a team down with tentacles.

There is strategy in not grouping. You simply need to understand how it works. For example:

Let's say you have a Riven top. Didn't lose lane, didn't win it either because her opponent played safe. She farmed up and is now split pushing top.

If they send only one to stop Riven, odds are unless they're fed Riven can probably kill them. If they send two or three, that means those two or three can't help stop the rest of your team from pushing an objective, for example. The enemy team is forced to pay for an objective either way if done right, either by Riven taking a tower or by the rest of the team taking a tower, or dragon, or even baron.

There is strategy in every choice people make. Even if they may not realize it.

Who cares. Some people are bad. Get over it. If you can't carry yourself out of the lower elos, you probably belong there. You have to learn to carry yourself before you can rely on your teammates to do the same.

Hugest? Really? Ok then Also, ever heard of skirmishes? Split pushing? Baiting? ##Objectives? Some teams work better in small scale fights, or as large groups. When I play Singed/Nasus/Jax I tell my team "Go bot and get those towers while I get top" The other team has to either choose between us OR lose both fights and take a major disadvantage. Grouping is not essential. In a lot of cases it could be a terrible idea to group, like the scenario I described.

Even if you aced them sometimes you won't be able to end and it is a way better idea to get the other objectives.

Tell me, what do you do with the minion wave after you reached level 7?
