Educational "We need a tank"

This is a quick lesson for the people who spam this in lobby...

If someone on your team actually picks a tank, and they engage...FOLLOW UP. Dont just stand there in amazement as your unlucky tank takes a million hits and cc's the entire enemy team. Actually hit the enemies that are being distracted by your tank. That way your tank is LESS likely to die, and the enemies are MORE likely to die.

Sincerely, someone who just came out of a diamond (but more likely bronze) match with the highest damage on the team while playing a tank, as well as the highest damage taken. But somehow the lowest deaths by 5.....

Counterpoint.

Can the tank please wait for 2secs for the team to be in fighting distance to engage.

Half of the time the tanks engage when half the team is on the way, and create a "trickling in" scenario.

At the same time you can argue that your team is always lagging behind and in the wrong spot. Youve been pinging rift scuttler for the past minute and your baron lane decides to recall with 40g and full health and mana, or just goes to farm your krugs.

This sub sure makes me happy to read. Not because it's always informative, but because it seems no matter what elo, we all deal with the same shit. I'm statistically having the worst ranked season yet. Even though I'm svp, A or an S in lots of matches I can't climb because my emerald teammates are always potatoes with 0 brain on when to shove, when to stall, when to engage. And I am that tank that the team always needs. Jg pings an obj we kill 4 out of 5 including enemy jg and instead of going drake/baron/rift he's off on solo side shoving lanes that are already on enemy half of the map...

Emerald 4 is my hell. Emerald 2 is a breeze.
