Suicide split pushing when your entire team is getting dumpstered isn't intentional feeding.

It's the only prayer you have of winning the game. The score was 2-17 at around 12 minutes; there is absolutely no chance we win straight fights and our only hope is to farm as much as possible and hope my team can win with a numbers advantage while enemies come and get "free" kills on me. Yes, I went 0/13/0. I'm playing a farm reliant champion that can't freeze a wave and I'm against a very fed Pantheon and a Fizz that has roamed to my lane several times. My entire team is very, very behind. Our only hope to win is that I can draw enough people top that my team can have time to farm elsewhere on the map and perhaps win an uneven fight, which they managed to do a few times. I even managed to get our only 2 towers of the game. Obviously, it wasn't enough. And I'll be honest, I wasn't exactly the most positive player this game because not only were we getting completely dumpstered, but the whole team environment was pretty negative and it's really hard to not get sucked into that shit. But I wasn't intentionally feeding. I was merely doing what I believed would give us the greatest chance of victory. I've won games using this very strategy in the past; it's not suddenly trolling because we lost.

P.S. Hopefully now this post won't get deleted for naming and shaming since I blacked out all the names but my own.

I mean, the fact that if you die you are worth no gold at all, if you pull even 2 of em, thats a good thing.

The fact you got two towers shows that you weren't intentionally feeding. Yes, you were putting yourself in a situation to die but you were dying strategically. This is a dumb ban.

usually the people who suicide split push win games for me. i can literally specifically recall most of the events in 3 games that a suicide split pusher has single-handedly carried a game for me.

You can split without feeding so much, just know when to leave. I mean they are on their way they aren't fighting your team, you don't have to die to them. You can back off and swap lanes.

You just got outplayed. Simple.

I have to assume that if your team is that far behind, unless you are drawing all 5 players away, it wont matter. The other(s) are still clearing your jungle and pushing in. The only farm your team is getting is what they already were. I would assume the enemy would be right outside your base just living on your side of the river and anyone who ventures out is about to get a very nice surprise.

Also, as someone else posted, you just have to know when to recall. Dont see Fizz or panth on your mini-map? You should already be recalling.

I mean.... you're 0/13/0. They're ahead. You're not supposed to leave and give them more experience and pressure. You're supposed to group and be the ones that catch out the people who roam with no vision. It's fine to have a lot of deaths and no kills, sometimes stuff just happens. But how do you have no assists? And if the Fizz and Pantheon are so fed so all it takes is the Ezreal to stop and kill you while the other four still roflstomp your team. If you want to splitpush i suggest buying a Banner of Command or a Zz'rot Portal

the score was 6-15 and behind 4 k gold:)..you know why we won? they send 4 to kill illaoi and we took drake and 2 towers and killed the enemy adc, good trade:)..and i've secured baron when i managed to 1 vs 3 after my team pretty much died. i was kha'zix vs mastery(sated and fed) gragas and janna.. Master y Qs me, i jump away to escape but he follows me, and i knew i had to fight.. i Q boom, master y died, gragas comes in with shield from janna. i know i can;t kill gragas with jana shield, so, i jump to janna-boom bitch you died, after that i 1 vs 1 gragas. and i knew that he doesn;t have burst, and i have more sustain than him..boom mfker, you are gone. 3 deaths solo;)..played really well. and after that we secured baron and the victory;)

OP is right... http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2099909247/48126625?tab=overview

our yasuo was 0/7/0 21 mins into the game and our whole team was losing. Difference in this game i'm betting is that most of us supported yasuo(or didn't say anything) to just splitpush while we wave cleared mid. Eventually we won an extremely bloody victory with everybody's scores looking like shit lol. And guess what? it was that splitpush yasuo who can take a majority of the credit for the win while me thresh and anivia would waveclear/stall out the game. Luckily we only had one person bitching, but they were actually the ones to contribute the least :O

I even uploaded whole game from my perspective just because I wanted to show a friend(who's one of those gg ff 20 people, and thinks that i'm a "never surrender" person just because I can spot a game where the enemy doesn't know how to close out a game)
