Why split pushers do what they do and AMA

and some other advice here to share what goes through my head when I split push

  • Why my trick2fag isnt grouping up? team fight? help us? cuz their champions are better suited pushing lanes and escaping ganks the typical split pushers have average team fight capabilities easily kited and lack cc and some other shet sometimes they dont scale all that great into late game like shaco i guess sometimes they can ditch you knowing full well they can come save your ass...like teleport or if theyre a shen btw ward will ya, nothing to teleport to if you dont

  • Why is my trick2fag doing dumb shit? dont worry about them, srsly.. split pushers are either really good at dueling or running away

  • Why is my trick2fag always overextending and dying? again, stahp worrying about them, they dont need you to save em... unless you can get a kill, why not they divert attention and waste time better question is why you are not making better use of your laners absence

  • Why is my trick2fag not ganking? actually good question, they should be.. if they are in the jungle role, split pushers also exist top lane THEY SHOULD STILL BE GANKING, they aint a split pusher till laning is over, till then they are your average jungler and should gank

  • Why is my trick2fag ditching me to die? better question... why did you follow them? and why did you NOT continue following them depending on your elo, you can assume trick2fag has the appex of map awareness if you followed them... expect to die unless you flee when they do as well, they are dogs during an impending earthquake

  • Why is it not trick2fags fault for these lost team fights THIS IS A REALLY POPULAR ONE... sometimes it might actually be their fault, not gon deny it now with that established, the loss is every bit YOUR fault as it is theirs why did you engage in a 4 v 5 you are down a person yet you fought anyway... stalling it out under tower until you notice the numbers even out eventually one.. two.. even three people will stop sieging you and go for the trick2fag in this case, you now have the advantage in numbers If you can still lose such a fight, maybe you have other things to worry about, maybe you guys are just too behind and a team fight will only throw the game

  • Why does my trick2fag not communicate with the team Cuz you think they are idiots and they rather save their breath most likely they might have even muted the team, they have nothing to say to a torrent unconstructive criticism lets face it, all you ever do is yell at them, nothing they will say is gonna change your mind


edit: bonus questions/conclusion

  • WHY splitpush at all, opposed to grouping up
  • WHY is this a good idea????

Both strategies work! but if they got a shit ton of cc or ahead by 4 dragons or overall better team comp or your team lacks momentum and pressure due to a horrible mid/early game..a variety of reasons, a group up is definitely not recommended. It's just peculiar why people insist on grouping up despite the odds, as if that was the only strategy There are split push compositions, team fighting compositions, skirmishing compositions, in the highest of tier players may notice their team's strength but often times lower elo players glaze over what their team is good or bad at as long as they have a jungler/top/mid/bot lane, they could have an idea skirmish comp without even knowing it.

If you're winning, a split pusher will do nothing but end games faster... but if you arent winning 4 v 5s, maybe you arent exactly winning, just saiyan. If you're losing, a split pusher is the safest way to take objectives, after all... why risk losing the entire team instead of risking losing 1 person?

If you're going to split, let your team know your intentions. It's easier to stay alive if you know to hug and not expect help

why do they not simply say "I'm split pushing" just once? ever?

Sometimes when your in the moment, you don't realize how much sense this actually makes. Thank you for putting things in perspective.

I always say "I'm gonna split" and when others do they say it as well, you need to pay more attention to chat...
