The biggest counter to split pushing isn't an item or strategy

It's incompetence and ignorance. People not knowing what to do or when to do it and then refuse to learn from the same mistake to the point where joining them in a 5v5 is even more pointless than pushing alone.

End the violence.

Learn what to do when someone is actually pushing for map pressure.

I mean when the enemy team takes baron and your mid inhib is down, maybe it's not the best idea to split push.

When you take mid inhib and have baron, that seems like a great time to split push.

No? That's a great time to siege down mid lane and end...

Mid would already be down so why group as 5 when you all have the same buff and it only takes one of you durable enough to push a second lane into their base?

Sometimes!

Personally, I find it more effective if we don't have a good sieging comp to have at least one guy use that Baron buff to shove down another lane. If we can end the game immediately, then great! If we can't, well the buff isn't amplified for every person by the minions, and if someone can get an extra tower and maybe even meet back up with the team to get another inhibitor...

Not saying you're wrong, but sometimes it's not a terrible idea to split push even when you have the advantage. It really depends.

B-but it's time to group and do nothing for five minutes in mid until someone tower dives! D:

I had one of those moments a few days ago.

I was with Heimerdinger pushing top lane and my adc was mirroring me on the bot lane. I clearly counted 4 opponents in front of our 3 teamates in mid lane. We were all about at the outer towers (all took down already).

Vayne got attacked and actualy had a kill. I figured that obviously if both of us keep pushing, 1 of the 2 towers would fall and the death would worth. So I kept pushing and vayne did the same on her side.

Well... I got attacked and killed by 3 champions and vayne got killed by their mid laner on bot lane.

The 3 bozos in mid ? Well... they fled back. From the terrifying 0 opponents left mid. They didnt warded, they didnt kept vision of anyone, they didn't farmed any camps... nada... they just backed and "Wait for regroup". Needless to say I lost that one lol...

Not much you can do to fix it unless you can give them a link to reddit about how to split push.

And here, ladies and gentlemen, is an excellent example of how not to splitpush(And also why people tend to dislike splitpushers). Clearly you didn't see the 3 people coming for you, nor did Vayne see the danger incoming. So basically you two were split-pushing with no vision. And you expect what? The 3 people you had mid, as far as they could tell, still had 4 people waiting for them in the FoW.

Split-pushing should be done with vision. If you get caught and killed out of FoW, don't complain that your team didn't do anything, they didn't have the info needed to know that they had a numbers advantage, and now they KNOW they are at a numbers disadvantage, and if they push out now, the enemy team can collapse on them 4V3.

My teams always back for a split pusher, but they don't realize 5 people pushing will win the base race against one. Except maybe Jax and Nasus.
