To All The Wannabe 1v5 Carries Out There

You are not cool. Your team doesn't think you are cool. Intelligent viewers if you stream or post vids don't think you are cool. So stop trying to intentionally force games into a situation where you have to 1v5 carry; just play the game right in the first place, and look good by winning through making the right plays and using TEAMwork. Your teammates will honor you, intelligent viewers will enjoy your vids/stream, and you will win WAY more games.

Don't be a donkey and refuse to gank or counter-gank when it means you can: a) salvage a lane and get more done than by just ff, making risky invades, or ganking another lane for no gain or 1 kill and 0 map pressure b) snowball a lane by getting kills, tower pressure, jungle invade pressure, objective pressure, and can translate that lead to other lanes via roams and/or tp's

Don't be a donkey and try to split push when you don't have tp, you do have tp but lose to anyone they send against you, or the enemy team is ahead and has hard engage: a) your opponents will force an objective on the other side of the map and either grab the objective(s), force a winning teamfight that you can't join to turn around, or both; additionally, they will tp back in time to defend any tower you were pushing - making your split-push utterly worthless b) you will either screw your team over by forcing them into scenario a or by dying and then putting them in scenario a plus having to deal with a split pusher who can probably tp to any teamfight or to force an objective c) hard engage just reinforces scenario a and makes it that much faster and more decisive; meaning they are more likely to get BOTH a winning teamfight AND a high priority objective or more than one

Don't be a donkey and make risky jungle invades or risky forced fights and skirmishes: a) gank the lane to force the enemy to base or kill them; now you have backup for your invade, so if you get caught by 2 enemies, you have 1 or more allies who can help you b) get some vision down - chances are, if you thought it was a good place to ambush the enemy, they were thinking the same thing; you will likely get caught out blowing abilities and/or summoners on a low priority target allowing the enemy team to win the fight or... get baited into facechecking the enemy team and die to a Fnatic bush gank.

Don't be a donkey and wait 20 sec after your laner should be back before pinging mia and don't refuse to leave lane to help your jungler: a) If it's even 2 sec too long for when they should be back, that's halfway to another lane or anywhere in your jungle to set up a gank onto your teammate(s); better safe than sorry - just letting teammates know they MIGHT be getting ganked can give them that half second to let them be prepared and escape. b) You want your jungler to gank? How can your jungler gank if the enemy TEAM puts their jungler way ahead in levels and xp by group invading and stealing your jungler's camps? If he ganks and the enemy counter-ganks, you have basically guaranteed them 2-3 kills and more xp and lvl advantage. Even if they don't counter-gank when your jungler ganks, you might lose because your jungler is so far behind - he's just a free 200-500g kill for the enemy laners. How can he gank when all his jungle is warded so his every move is spotted and he can't clear all the wards with 1 control ward - which puts him further behind to purchase. Why would he even want to gank for people who won't return the favor and help him out?

Do the right TEAM play even if it costs you a few cs, delaying a jungle camp, delaying a back to base by 4 sec, etc. Make that counter-gank and repeat as necessary; you might find yourself with a higher kda than what you would have gotten by just farming, making risky 1v? invades, or ganking other lanes that get no objectives off the kills. Leave lane and help your jungler when he gets invaded - you might just pick up a shutdown kill, convince your jungler to gank your lane and return the favor, or who knows. Ward the area before diving in; you might just spot out a bait by the enemy team and avoid getting wrecked and giving up baron, dragon, and/or multiple towers. You might even turn the bait around and use it to your advantage by punishing them for clustering.
