You ' re only expected to win lane by people who think they know everything but actually know nothing . The same type of people who rage at jungles for never ganking , or say stupid shit like , hey viktor , follow your laner dipshit , as the level 6 fizz walks over 3 wards on his way to kill your bot lane who ignores your danger pings and dives turret . People are just generally not very good at lol , they don ' t understand what the objective is or what their role is in reaching it . Never is this more obvious than when people spam ff because they ' re 05 at 20 minutes . If they were good enough to know if the game was over they would be good enough to not die so many times . i play a lot with a friend of mine who is generally a weak laner , he plays tanks top side so he ' s not always useless . He ' s always asking about items , and almost every game I tell him the same thing . Build a zz ' rot . Every game he ignores the advice , because in his mind a zz ' rot doesn ' t help him carry , the fact that he puts out zero pressure and can ' t keep his lane shoved aren ' t reasons why we lose .
