If you can keep under one death in the first 25-35 minutes, your team will listen to your friggin pings and follow your lead in most ways. Additionally, those 5-7 deaths you didnt have make a HUGE difference in terms of farm and the enemies fedness. My teams havnt really been any better lately, but by not dying I have put myself in a position of leadership the past two days and its fucking worked.
Sadly, that's not the case majority of the time for me. I was a 21-3-7 Annie in one game, had no deaths when it was 30 minutes in game. Team wanted to Baron with it warded and the entire enemy team was there. I pinged them to back off multiple times and they got killed and baron got stolen by enemy team. I got killed defending base against the entire team at full health and we lost. They didn't listen to me at all all game.
That or your whole team feeds and then looks at you with only 8 deaths and thinks "This guy is our only hope". True story.
Is 1/0/4 25 minutes into the game
Guys instead of contesting this drag, why don't we just go do baron for free?
Team: "No wtf we need to be able to do more damage to the enemy minions RIGHT NOW, stfu you've hardly done anything this entire game"
