[12:47] Sweagen: yea i figured out some mindgames ppl glance at the minimap right to see positions of champs and whether they are in danger of a gank and bot glances at the map towards mid to see if mid is playing up forwards which usually means their ungler was around so i figure if u walk way up the lane when ur jungle is about to gank bot u can mindgame their glancing and make the gank more likely to succeed in solo q [12:48] jaydaman11: :O [12:48] Sweagen: ye pretty cool huh [12:48] jaydaman11: i feel like that's only applicable in certain situations though, seeing as in my elo, i'm fairly certain 60-70% of players look at the minimap like once every minute lol and can't even process positioning

its like, you put yourself in possible danger to mindgame 0.3% of people who glance at the minimap right that moment, interpret it right and are willing to take an all in 2on2 fight anyways.

basically you could say, when you lane, you are always in the most aggressive position possible for you at that moment considering enemy laners power, minions and ganks. this means, if you walk forward, you put yourself in a position that isnt optimal for you, most likely outweighting the benefit botlane gets from that.

edit 1: your KDA probably comes from walking forward too much ; )

edit 2: but im proud of you regardless, at least you are one of that 2% of diamond players who actually think about the game
