Nothing is more important than LANE PUSHING!

PUSHING THE LANE! You don't have to contest every dragon/baron and engage in every team fight.

If all 5 of our players are up and we see they're at dragon. PUSH THE LANE! If enemy detours to kill Baron, that's at minimum a 20 sec fight for them. More than enough time to push 2 turrets.

I just won my last game with my team in the negative. It was 4v5 most of the match (top lane had connection issues about 15m out of 40m match). I was jungle Nautilus with item 3708 item 3025 item 3020 item 3001 and had a item 3108 to build into my item 3060. The enemy team aced us. I died 1st so I respawned 1st, 20 seconds earlier than the rest of my team. The lanes were empty. We had 2 middle turrets down, 1 bottom turret down and 1 top turret down. The enemies had 1 top turret down, 1 middle turret down. They also were gone from lanes after ace cause they were at dragon.

Minions were at bottom turret. Nautilus takes about 2 seconds to clear a creep wave with his E. Of course nobody can solo a Nautilus with his ult up, just not possible, burst damage and W too powerful. While enemy team was at dragon, I pushed down bottom turret and made it all the way to the next one, then recalled. During this time, I recalled cause all 5 were coming bottom. At this time Our top lane had reconnected again, so I told to push top while 3 go mid.

1st they sent MF and Kat to me. I got a lucky double kill sense my ult hit both of them, then my E hit both of them. Activated my Q to stop Kat's ult and stun her with my passive. Flashed to MF, when she activated her ult to get behind her, then activated my E again to kill them both. While this is happening, mid lane minions destroyed their middle turret as team spawns. As I start my retreat, these idiots started to come bottom lane to "save" me lmao! NO NO NO NO NO!

After spam pinging middle lane turret 5 times before getting ping blocked then typing in all caps to push middle lane, they got the inner turret and inhibitor while I got killed. Something that wouldn't have been possible if they had come bottom lane. Top lane insisted on going middle to help, I insisted to stay top and guess what happened, the free cs farm & destroyed turret xp and gold got her somewhat caught up in level and some needed gold. Enemy team pushed down 1 more bottom lane turret and pushed further. The idiots on my team already in the enemy's base panicked and started to recall because they didn't want to lose an inner turret -_- lmao

After more spam pinging to stay, I finally respawned and got to bottom turret. Enemy team recalls, then our team recalls on their arrival. Top lane got killed. I tell my team to go mid again, while I push bottom. Me having a head start on on my team by about 30 seconds again means I was the only 1 that popped up in their vision. Instant death to me after pushing but not before damaging whole team with my R then E. My team forced them to recall after killing 2. Took last bottom outer turret and bottom inner turret with inhibitor. While I'm dead and 2 of their champs are dead, they were able to poke at enemy champs while super minions did the work. Destroyed both Nexus turrets while I was pushing top lane. Enemy team surrendered.

Keep in mind they had baron once and 3 (maybe 4) dragons. We had 0 barons and 0 dragons, but we pushed the lanes and overcame.

Just cause you see 4 enemy champs taking out your bottom lane doesn't mean you have to go bottom lane to help. Let them hug the turret for a few seconds before they're killed or have to recall. Use this time to push other lanes. 4 champs bottom lane means 1 lane is uncontested (middle lane of course) so I (the jungler) went mid and we pushed and that's how we pushed 1st turret down and about 75% - 80% of second mid lane turret early. 1 turret was taken by uncontested top lane since our top had connection issues and the enemy got bottom turret. Nonetheless, I'll give up 2 turrets in separate lanes before 2 in 1 lane anyday.

LESSON OF THEY DAY... PUSH THE LANES! You don't have to engage in every team fight or contest every dragon/baron.

You are giving away game winning strategy lol.

But seriously - this is really obvious. You don't have to contest everything. Towers are the objective. Everything else is just a tool to get towers. Won several games exactly like this where I was Yi or Quinn by splitpushing or even backdoor facetanking towers even if the rest of my team was deeply negative in KDAs.
