[quote=HiFromBuddha][quote=BigBoxGamer]That's suppose to be a carry joke, isn't it?[/quote] I mean, you didn't carry the game. It was the [[Wukong]] that ended up carrying your [[Nidalee]] game.[/quote]

[quote=Vapora Dark][quote=HiFromBuddha][quote=BigBoxGamer]I need coaching so badly, I have no clue what separates me from someone like DoubleLift, Sneaky, or Piglet aside from farm.[/quote]The one tip that I learnt that drastically improved my game, and this is going to sound like I'm taking the piss but it honestly has improved my game substantially, is to try and die as little as possible. Sometimes you just can't help it, the enemy outplays you and there's no way you'll get out.

KDA ratios don't win games, no matter how impressive they might look. :>[/quote] I'm not saying don't die to have an au sexuale KDA ratio. I'm saying to not die because dying gives up a lot more than just gold to the enemy. If you're a jungler and you go for a risky gank and end up dying off it, then that's dragon pressure gone. Heck, that's lane pressure gone, because now all the lanes know the jungler is dead, so they know exactly where he is, so then they can afford to play more aggressively and potentially snowball their lanes. That sort of thing. Always do what benefits the team best, and if it is dying, sure, die for your team, but don't die if it's unnecessary. Also, normal games are for making mistakes and learning. Don't go into a ranked game with the mentality that I should let mistakes happen so I can learn from them, because that's how you lose.

"fuk u rengar fucking retarded cancer report gg"[/quote] Well yeah thats a point, but if you are in a ranked game as, for example, an assassin(Rengar,Talon,Zed) and the only thing that keeps you and your team away from the victory is the super fed enemy adc, then it's totally worth to jump in just to instaburst him, if you have any chance, even if it means that you'll have to die, which happens most of the time. Also if we "climb" the ranked ladder, it's because we always learn something during games that pushes us harder on the top of it, so ranked games are the best ones to learn, since people put much more efforts into them and higher is the rank, harder the game becomes.[/quote]

[quote=HiFromBuddha]TIL I have a very different approach to ranked games.

[quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]We were talking about an ADC player when the discussion started so I'm going to go out and say that Buddhas right. Because if you play safe the assassin will die before reaching you.[/quote]

[quote=HiFromBuddha][quote=Jimmydoggga 2.0]We were talking about an ADC player when the discussion started so I'm going to go out and say that Buddhas right. Because if you play safe the assassin will die before reaching you.[/quote] Oh, well, admittedly, I was saying it as a general sort of thing. But I feel like there are some huge misconceptions. I'm not saying play safe, I'm saying play smart. There are always times when playing safe is not the smartest option. I'm saying die as little as possible if you can help it. If you're playing a top lane match-up where you're playing [[Teemo]] against a [[Garen]], then I'm not telling the [[Teemo]] to play passively, I'm saying he should do what the best option is without giving away deaths unnecessarily. There is very little kill pressure from a [[Garen]] when playing a champion like [[Teemo]], so you should play aggressively, while with full knowledge that you won't be dying anytime soon. With this example, applying what my philosophies are, if the [[Teemo]] sees a quarter health [[Garen]] under tower and [[teemo]] can get the kill but he'll die in the process, I'm saying that the [[Teemo]] should not take that opportunity because the [[Teemo]] is in control of the lane, and why the hell would he give any sort of boost to the [[Garen]] when he can just continue to deny the [[Garen]] in lane so he is completely starved of gold and experience.[/quote]
