Hey everyone,
I have a question. Every once in a while I run into some crazy good players. Sometimes they farm enemy champs well, other times not. However it seems like they build up gold like crazy. Then they suddenly have all their items and they are stomping you.

I was wonder what tips or tricks there are to getting your build more quickly. (kill dragon early? lane less gank more? build small items first and develope them into legendary item later?) what is it that allows some players to build so fast.

having a few levels on an enemy helps, but the build is everything.

any pointers would be very much appreciated!!

Always last hit. People tend to overestimate the power of a farmed champion - they think getting fed on kills is everything. But then you realize that one champion kill is only worth around 15-20 minions early game. When a really skilled player is leading the game by 80 CS, they have a 1200 gold advantage on the rest of the players in the game.

This also is the problem while being down ' early ' people seem to think i'm down 4 kills to the other team and the game is over, no not really if your farming well.

Also, a lot of players misunderstand "Last Hit".

It doesn't simply mean get the last hit on the creep, it means just stand there and watch until your minions get one of their minions down to 1/8th health or so. Then move in for the kill. This makes last hitting easier, and more importantly, allows your lane to remain unpushed. This way, your minions don't go toward their turret taking away your xp/gold, and you can also call ganks much easier due to your enemy not being able to sit back at their turret.

Good thing I'm the only one that ever jungles ever (solo queue). Although I think the problem with ganks is more bad laners than bad junglers.

Hopefully I'm not going too off topic.

People don't realise this but the better players not only farm well but they harass the enemy out of gold an experience. These players "win" their lane and then proceed to help the other lanes win. Kinda like a butterfly effect.
