How to play safe?

This may seem like a stupid question but it is not. Whenever I play with my friends I always seem to feed and they keep telling me to play safely. I have tried to play safe and only get cs under the tower but by doing this I miss out on a lot of cs. Can someone tell me points of playing safely the right way? Thanks.

If I recall correctly:

magic minions: one tower auto, then auto it yourself melee minions: auto once, tower hits it once, auto it again

You'll lose cs, yes, but it's better than giving your opponent the equivalent of 18 cs.

If you don't want to farm under turret, you need to make sure the surrounding area is warded. Yes, buy wards. Also, don't go HAM on the enemy in the beginning of the laning phase. Try to win trades if you have to, but don't go all-in and expect a kill. ANd if you're pushed to tower, the jungler should be ganking because that is one of the GREATEST times to gank a lane :D

Practice CS under tower is all. Figure out which minions you need to hit once before the tower gets it. Try not to clear them out with AoE abilities just to do it quickly, that's how you lose a lot. It's necessary to get that down if you're pushed back playing safe.

better loose minions before give them 5/0 AND tons of freeminions? so better stay afk under your tower and lasthits the waves. play safe means a lot of things.

  • ward your lane
  • stop loosing trades
  • stop beeing greed and give them freekills
  • stop going solo without any vision
  • wait till your jungler comes
  • ....

etc. pp.
