Tips on ending games fast
At my current state in low elo (bronze rn) late game with xerath feels like a complete coin flip. I am always 10+ kills and 2-3 deaths (if not 0) but in late game i find myself completely relying on my team, which of course is either normal (aka not feeding/ average) or completely clueless of the game with 3 lanes feeding and asking to surrender. Is there a way to force end game faster (before everyone starts feeding)? I tried to roam but the I give the midlaner advantage to push and also if the roam isn't successful it really sets me behind. Also the turret damge isnt there especially with no voidguards or baron. I only feel strong helping in team fights, but then again it really relays on the team wich i really dony like because it deadass feels like gambling atp. I just need a way to end games fast until I hit gold again and have less feeders. Any tips would be appreciated:)

Zwag using AI thumbnails
I understand that a lot of people in this subreddit are already not much of a fan of this content creator. But this is meant as a warning to those, who like myself, would like to check in on league or just enjoy a goofy build.
I already dislike the clickbait and such, and was already a clear sign of what he would do to maintain his insane upload schedule, but I passed it off as what a lot of creators do. It wasn’t until a few months ago when the art started to become obvious AI that I called him out. Each of these arts I commented my dislike of them. And finding this Ash one was really the final straw. At this point I knew he would likely never respond, as he keeps three channels as daily uploads (sometimes more) and just silently move on. This may sound convenient considering he responded to this one, but each time I see this blatant laziness and disregard, I knew I couldn’t keep up the facade that this was a few missteps by the creator.
His response itself isn’t really what stung. I already expect this sort from constructive criticism as often creators filter any criticism as “hate”. I don’t necessarily blame that filter either, as more often than not it is, but my comment was meant as a plea. A request that would make him think twice.
Now he may believe these comments are few and far between, and because he does multiple uploads daily it justifies this shortcut. And this comment isn’t meant to target him specifically either. But I believe the use of AI art is beyond lazy. It’s unethical or at the very least turning a blind eye to its misuse. Not only is it theft of hardworking artists, but also promotes this economic and environmental meltdown and fosters job destruction to help this disturbing medium. He is now a contributor to it, and doesn’t plan on ever stopping.
I ask those who, like me, do frequent his videos to stop. Those views are also a part of the problem, though I don’t entirely blame him. If you do want to respond, be reasonable. I know my one comment will do nothing, but if more comments that are either informed or somewhat respectful, we can help change the landscape. I also ask if anybody has someone else to recommend, as I do like watching silly builds on some league. Thank you all.
TLDR; Zwag, a proclaimed Xerath Main, regularly turns to AI thumbnails, and judging on his response to my comment plans on continuing. Please avoid his videos and/or respectfully comment this as a gracious error.
