Using Your Brain to Win Games

I know when we play games we tend to completely ignore our logic and just yolo things. But, using our brain will actually help us win games a lot more because by being logical, we can make plays and just play better.

When You are Behind

Let's say you are and you gave 1st blood in your lane to . Assuming both have about the same farm, Annie will undoubtedly be stronger since she has 300 gold more than you. gold=items=strength

Don't fight her when you already lost the 1st fight because the more you fight, the stronger she'll be.

Ask for ganks or play safely.

Facechecking Bushes

If you don't see enemy players on the minimap, chances are they could be camping in one bush, waiting for someone like you who wants to facecheck every bush.

Unless you feel like you ABSOLUTELY have to facecheck it, just don't even walk near there and group with the team or another player.

Don't Assume Things

"I bet this ahri has no flash", "let's just do baron since I think they already used smite", "I bet this rek sai won't gank me", etc.. When you gank or when you try to make a play, if flashes or other summoner spells will prevent you from making plays, try not to make plays.

I'm not saying don't risk; I'm just saying don't just assume things and do stuff solely based on your assumptions.

Keeping the Lead

I recently had a game where we were 7 to 0 and we threw that because my teammates were getting caught and they were just trying to make plays when there was absolutely no reason for us to. When you are winning hard, and there's no reason to make fancy plays or whatnot, just keep that lead and snowball and do NOT try to make unnecessary plays.

In Closing

Being logical does and will help. Feel free to add more of your own. Good Luck and Have Fun :D
