im ahri in this clip. my team has baron, and still has 2 minutes left on baron when the clip starts. I'm pushing an enormous wave bot alone. my team is araming. mid tower+inhib is already broken. If my team doesn't hard commit to a random fight and all die then we guarantee get another tower+inhib and probably start hitting nexus turrets. I'm really tilted bc I obviously think I'm right, but I see this all the time from both teams. I swear getting baron literally doesn't matter because whatever team gets it will immediately int all their buffs away trying to brute force their way up mid for no reason. Like am I wrong here? Why coinflip a fight when we still have 2 mins left on buff and can easily have 2 baron lanes pushing.

I've taken the advice from my 1st post and have been putting a lot of attention on early trading and punishing last hits. I enter every midgame being pretty strong; not always the strongest in the game but pretty strong relative to everyone else in the game (or so I think). But regardless, midgame feels completely out of my control. I constantly feel like I'm putting out fires all over the map but getting nothing done. Getting a 1k gold lead by 15 and then losing is pretty common for me. I've lost multiple games with 2.5k gold lead and still lost. That's seriously impressive. A lot of the time it feels like the winner is decided by which team gets the top or bot that will int the game into an unplayable state before I have a chance to impact the rest of the map.

In this game I got a decent lead over the enemy lux (and it was by trying to pressure her, not just idling csing) but the game got out of hand pretty quick. I really want to know what I can do besides just go next because I end a lot of games thinking "well I got a pretty good lead in lane so it's not my fault."

My room was pretty cold so clicks were a little weird sometimes

thx :)

More than anything else, I'm struggling to know when to fight with team. I prefer to just farm and only fight when I know I have an advantage, but it's bronze so random ass fights happen all the time.

We have baron and I'm pushing top. I see Leona+Darius coming towards me so I back out and hover in the river. Dragon spawns and my Olaf runs in 1v3 and dies. I don't want to fight 4v5 and I have baron and know I can get a full tower by myself. My team gets collapsed on when trying to leave dragon and I'm the last alive. I get greedy here and stay too long and Darius ends up breaking my back so I have to tp back to my nexus at 40%hp which I fully acknowledge is my own mistake. But am I wrong for doing what I did? why bother coinflipping a 4v5 dragon contest when I can guarantee get a t2 and maybe an inner if they don't fight there

I say this to show that when I first started playing League, I not only 1) understood some moba concepts very well like fighting at the same time as your team, not staggering kills, not fighting when you don't have your cds/cooldown cycles, character classes, effective ranges, but also that 2) I understand generally how to get good at games, elo hell/losers queue isn't real, have a small champ pool, have 1-2 specific things per game to focus on practicing, having a good setup with good hardware/internet, having general good mouse/keyboard control, and to not take each individual loss too seriously.

On paper I think I do a lot of things well, I try to skirmish with my jungler, I basically never die to ganks, I value my life and don't coinflip/take pointless fights, I try to push out sidelanes and rarely get caught out there. I know I have the capability to be better than the bottom 10% of the playerbase. And yet I can't seem to climb. Games seem so random and out of my control, and a lot of the time it feels completely decided by which team has the bot lane that gets caught and picked when nothing's happening. There's some gaping hole in my play that I am missing and I have not been able to figure out what that is.

I've been spamming Annie to learn her, typical champ pool is Ahri+Sylas.

Not super familiar with Fizz matchup but I assume it's similar to yasuo where you keep the wave pushed in and just farm under tower.
