End Game issues

Im having trouble winning game, or turning game around because in solo Q my team never listens. They

1: Win a team fight and scatter for clear jungle instead of push lane 2: Chase for kills over go for towers 3: They "b" instead of help to push for inbid 4: Roam unwarded jungle solo or in pairs 5: One by one charge into a 1v2 or more

If we are missing 2 more inhibs they:

1: Run to take/ward baron leaving base to be over swarm by winnions 2: General leave base as if we care not on defense 3: Push lanes out to far leaving 1 less or more player to defend nexus 4:Check dragon with whole other team missing 5: Roam the map solo for what ever reason

If we are on "ace" deciding the winner they will:

1:Rush in withough peeling, without thinking about enemies location 2: Fall for obvious bait (a jinx just ran to the whole team and ran in the jungle etc etc) 3: Go into team fight in the wrong order, "why are the tanks in back?" 4: Key champs, split from group to get blue buff 5: Attack wreaklessly, and die for it

If we are losing a team fight they:

1: Fight the uphill battle and lose 2: Run to base, get half way get brave and charge 4 champs 3: The scatter but not toward a tower or base, to the nearest lane to push, only to be ganked

Im getting really tired of saying "Don't go in the jungle it not warded" or "Guys we have 3 waves of super minnions i cant stop them all" or my favorite "Why go to baron if the whole team is missing and we're on defense?"

Any suggestions on how to make people listen to me late game, getting tired of losing close games from dumb team choices.

one does not simply make people listen over the internet had I been right next to them commanding them at gun point, then maybe we will get somewhere

after your best efforts, they either do or they don't simple

These problems are remedied by proper ping usage

  1. Don't spam pings - sometimes you need to ping a few time but don't ever do more than three in a row, people hate that shit.
  2. Ping at the right time - ganking? engaging? there's an exact right moment to ping but it's hard to describe... you can figure it out.
  3. Give reasons for your pings - aced the enemy team? ping inhib turret type "get free inhib" and ping inhib turret again.

Now it's important to note that while you can't directly control people because of free will or whatever... what you can do is gently nudge people in the right direction with strategic pings.

Also it's pointless to call people out for past mistakes like "you shouldn't have been in there we had no vision of them" yeah, duh

It's way more effective to do things preemptively, so before he gets collapsed on and dies, give him a careful ping and say "all mia", that gives him the same information but at a time when it's actually useful.

Lastly don't get mad if people don't listen to your pings, you just gotta deal with it.
