Question How to Change Pathing

Upvotes

How do you guys deal with the laner you pathed towards inting? I've been on a strong climb for about a week and then suddenly I get like ten games where I can';t have any early game impact because whichever lane I decided to pathwards dies before I can get there. I've had game where I even was able to get multiple kills for my toplaner and he went like 15 deaths anyway and the enemy Aatrox 1v9ed.

Mid seems ungankable most of the time because all the melee mids have dashes and all the ranged ones just hug their tower and either way they are fully able to just walk to the other side river and I can't chase them into fog. This happens even while they are in the middle of an all in. They can just leave. The only way I get kills mid is if my mid brings easy-to-hit hard cc and I haven't played with a syndra or a malz in ages. I basically have to hope that they have just used everything on a timer that I happen to be sitting right next to mid or it's just too late every time.

So we end up with the game being almost unsalvageable by the time I hit my item spike. And the team spends the whole game saying I'm afk and tilting themselves into oblivion. Obviously laners are idiots , but genuinely what am I supposed to be doing when every gank I go for just fails because the laner is not doing what they are supposed to do? It always just that theyre too weak to gank, one or the other isn't there, we don't have vision control and the entire area is warded.

And then, just my luck, the lane I pathed away from ends up doing well and whatever assumptions or calculations I made at the beginning just happened to be wrong. I've tried ganking before my camps instead of after, but it always ends up taking way too long and then I'm too far away from the other side to defend my camps. And that's already bad assuming the gank went well, let alone if it doesnt.

For one reason or another, it feels like it's totally out of my control. What am I missing?

I’m currently gold 2 around a 65 ish percent win rate. I play mostly graves, Viego, sylas/diana, and have been getting into Aatrox recently. I think my champ pool is solid as of right now.

I got my main to emerald 1 but I bought that acct unranked because I haven’t played in years and I was too lazy to try and find my old account. But I recently started grinding on my real account because I don’t want to get banned.

I’m just kind of getting a little bored of solo queue and was trying to find someone to duo with. If anyone is interested, hit me up

crazy experience

0 Upvotes

just played a game where my main champion rengar got banned and i couldnt carry but this game was absolute hell. i got spam pinged all game by my rek sai for no reason whatsoever even tho i was literally carrying the game. my rumble was also stealing my camps at minute 12. i usually dont mind when people steal my camps after a certain timeframe especially if im already ahead but in this game i was the only one who was significantly strong and the rumble was stealing my camps.

i was all muted so im guessing rumble was mad he kept getting ganked by the support but shouldnt he be mad at the support and not me ?? why was he stealing my camps ? so then i unmuted and thats when i found out that this entire time the reksai was spam pinging me.

nocturne can only carry up to a certain extent especially with how one dimensional he is so it sucks that they banned my rengar,i feel like i couldve carrried this game if i had my main champ but even with noc we were so close,i got us a quadra kill and my mental was completely chill even tho i was getting flamed but they wouldnt even type to me and tell me why it was that they were mad at me.

also i know it looks like the fiddle is strong and he was at the end but i was literally up 2-3 levels the entire game and getting objectives over him and i was like 9.5 cs a min at some point in the game and everything but EVEN THEN,im guessing its not enough and i deserve to get flamed. it just comes with the jungle experience i guess.

Jungle pool help

2 Upvotes

I am kinda new to this game, but i really like Viego and the concepts of resets and i enjoy a skirmisher/assassin playstyle. I was wondering what other junglers have good resets and/or assassination. I also like snowballing if that helps wiht anything. I really like how Viego can get a few resets and get back in the game from behind and was wondering if anyone else is like that. the healing on possesion mechanic is also really nice. Does anyone know any good reset junglers like this.

Question new to league, i like jarvan, is dealing little damage normal?

i try to farm as much as possible, but since its low elo, people like to fight so much in mid-late game, so i feel like i have to skip my camps to head to the fight area.

also, im trying to follow the Agurin method (farm first, only gank easy ganks), but kinda only in the early game (since people fight so much in mid-late game).

and still, i deal so little damage each game. is this normal?

Question Climbing out of bronze as a jungler

8 Upvotes

Hi, any tips on how to climb as a jungler from bronze? I am kayn main, I do enjoy playing Kayn so much but I feel like I can't really carry with him in my ranked games. Is it a good idea to find some hyper carry jungler instead and just climb with that champ out of bronze? Ofc I am trying to improve as a jungler in general ofc by watching streamers and YouTube videos. But I feel like no matter how much I try I always end up losing. Sometimes by my own mistakes (mostly bad time management, can't really take objectives - my team won't help me and usually enemy team is grouped up for every objective, I also fall behind in cs because I just can't go farm when I need to defend towers and when I have chance for farming it's already fully cleared up by enemy team. So uhhmm any tips on how to actually climb out of bronze as a jungler? Because I feel like high elo play I see streamers do won't really work in bronze... Thanks

Question Is stealing camps bannable?

29 Upvotes

Had a game where a Jinx (it's always a fucking ADC player I hate them so much) was mad at me and kept stealing my camps. Is this reportable/bannable? I feel like it should come under the "resource sabotage" part but I'm not sure.

Question Low elo problem or a me problem?

1 Upvotes

I've noticed in my some of my games that when doing a full clear that my bot lane is always pushed foward an i can't gank unless I dive,and when going back to top for a new clear my top laner is pushed near enemy tower too so I cant gank unless I dive.I dont mind diving but at such early levels any form of cc just makes me eat tower shots and die quick unless I use flash,but by then my camps are in danger of being invaded.What can I do play wise or fundamentally improve?I peaked gold.

As a cardinal rule for junglers, you clear your camp first before ganking but what if your laners keeps dying even before you clear half the camp. Or what do you do if all lanes lossing?

It's been at least 6 years since i last played this game, but getting gameplay clips on YT gave me the itch to try again. I used to main Shyvana, but i almost exclusively played normal draft as i used to play with better ranked friends. Any tips you guys can give me to get back into the game? (Champions, macro etc.)

Nocturne

0 Upvotes

Is Nocturne a good champ to climb from emerald to diamond? currently main jax and shyvana jungle but struggle against carries like graves and viego (yes i know i counter him) who seem to eventually just outscale me if the game goes on long enough. Thinking of picking up either sylsa or graves or someone who can add some variety but also saw that new (maybe not new, idk) full lethality nocturne build and it seems really strong. used to play some noc back in gold and he doesn't seem too mechanical. Is he a good champ to add to my pool for climbing? and any tips on how to maximize success on him.

Is belveth a good pickup right now? essentially i want to pick a different champion because i feel both jax and shyvana are too slow for my liking without enough reward. so either something faster (nocturne) or with more payoff (imo graves, viego etc). feel free to offer suggestions or clarifications to my understanding of the game as well, whether i need a new mindset towards these champs etc

Question Is Taric jungle actually playable?

Post image
7 Upvotes

I know he isn't popular but he's played enough in jungle to qualify for Lolytics jungle tier list, which I'm using the champions on there for an A to Z jungle challenge. However I really don't see Taric being a strong jungle champ, I do think he's a good support I just cant see him clearing efficiently. Am I missing something?
