I decided to play a normal game with 2 friends the other day and it happened to work out that I was stuck going mid. If you don't know me, AP mid is my worst role. I picked 
Morgana knowing she was pretty easy to do well with. (She is also a purple champion and everyone knows purple champions are OP. Kassadin, Kennen)
It was blind pick so I had no idea I was matched with a Cassiopeia for the first time ever. Now, since I am bad at solo mid, I have no idea what match ups are good. All I knew was Cass had a strong laning phase. I had no idea about her skills, cooldowns, strengths, or weaknesses, but I had a simple plan: Iron Mantle
I never got a single kill in the lane. I build heavy defense and always had a ward in my inventory. My team started the game 0-5, but thanks to our turtling startegy, we turned it around and I had an ending score of 6-0. All my kills came from their team fights and people overextending.
I played defense so hard my head hurt. Playing defense is a fail-safe way of helping your team win. If you go 0-5 after 10 minutes, playing defence will allow your teammates to carry you more easily then if you play aggressively and go 0-10. Lets face it, when you have that
bad of a start, playing offence will get youself killed.
Hope you enjoyed another issue of The Averagr Adventure of Aegis
What do you think of the new Co-Op vs. AI coming next patch? Personally, I love it!

That works early game but not do well late/mid game as they just dive you. lol. It definently works on Morg as she is spell immune and has a snare and stun. But on a champ like Sivir or Yi who have no hard CC its almost deadly to hug tower.
That's not the problem. You shouldn't be getting towerdived in the first place if you were aware of their capabilities to towerdive, aka you should be backing off the turret.
Turtling is what you should be doing if you aren't sure of the enemy champion's skills.
What you also need to do, is know what your champ can do, so that you can immediately know when you can land a kill without dying the moment the enemy goes out of position.
There's no overall strat that would work for every game. A strat is always susceptible to change depending on how the game goes.
