I've asked a few different high diamond and master players about and they said something along the lines of "you gotta get snowballed in laning phase, and it's worth taking the risks of being really aggressive because simply not feeding and having average cs will not always make you strong enough to have a big impact on the game." What do you think about this approach/mentality?
I also feel like I don't have as much control of how fed I can get in laning phase because bot lane is decided by ganks by jungle/mid/top TP, the 2v2 matchup or the performance of my support. The lower the rank the more I feel i can simply just win by out trading mechanically and forcing kills or fights. For example, I could out CS a draven as vayne and get kills in lane regardless of the support matchup. Now I feel like I get punished or lose aggressive trades / all-ins when I force them instead of my supp; it is safer to just passively farm and react. What do you think about this? What can I change to come out of laning phase stronger?
Do you try to intervene when someone is flaming / being toxic to another team mate? When someone starts typing a lot irrelevant comments or blaming I feel like it drastically lowers my chance of winning.
I have two accounts in plat 3. Recently, I have been playing on a third account which is in high gold now. I have been tilting and getting frustrated on my high rank accounts with my lack of progress/improvement. At this point in gold I can consistently carry and win games, although I have the feeling it may almost be counter productive for trying to get diamond. I think I may BE intimidating myself when playing in high plat. For example, if I didn't know or didn't care about the ranks of the other players, I might even play better. Is there something I could do to change my mentality regarding this?
