Creating a game plan

Early-game

Think before you do.

take advantage of your stronger early game

Carrying over your advantage to the rest of your team

Don't go bot again just to farm.

Pushing your advantage further

Siege, don't relentlessly towerdive

"But I got behind, I didn't destroy my lane :/"

Try to be patient and not give away any more kills.

"But I play top, not adc!"

(Unless you're, then you can just 1v5 and take down the Nexus by splitpushing.)

you have to carry

Alright, so you've decided to playas an adc. Now, what are you going to do? Play the lane and hope for the best? No. You want to think what you're going to do before you execute it. Don't just do things and pray they will work.Let's say your support iswho is usingand. Your opposing lane isIn case you don't know how this lane is supposed to work out: Lucian has a very strong early game, while Ezreal's early game is kind of bad, especially when he's going blue Ezreal and he's building a tear. Thresh is a playmaking support, and combined with a Lucian by his side, very deadly when you land a hook.You have the upper hand as this lane, Ezreal/Janna has a better lategame, but up until that point you should. Play agressive, push the wave a little bit so you're able to get level 2 earlier, and move up so that if your Thresh lands his hook, they're dead. You should know you're stronger, and play agressive, because of experience. This is one of the reasons that maining a champion is a good idea, you will know if you're supposed to win or lose lane.So you're up 30 CS over the enemy Ezreal, you got a double kill bot and you got the bot turret. Call your jungler to take drake and 3 man it (4 if mid wants to come), since their bot is dead and they can't defend it. Finish yourand look at the map.Go mid and push the turret as a 3 or 4 man unit (mid, support, you and jungler if he wants to come). Carry your lead to other lanes. Once mid turret is down, go farm bot if their bot has pushed the wave in. If they're trying to take the turret, try to punish them for overextending and kill them. When you got some more farm, and the gold from the mid turret and maybe a kill, go back to buy.So your team took 2 turrets down, and you are ahead of Ezreal by a lot. You just finished your 2nd item, let's say. Go top to push the turret if it's not down yet, if there's a fight you should be able to win because you're insanely strong at this point, and the other members of your team should have a gold/stat advantage because of the 2 turrets and dragon. Get vision in their top side jungle, and see what is left on the map to take. You can farm bot if the wave is pushed towards you, because well, free gold is free gold, but don't stay there for 10 minutes just to farm. Look at opportunities, if your mid is pushing the wave into their mids 2nd turret, group and counter their engage (they should try to punish the overextension of your midlaner).Whenever you kill someone, try to push turrets. If you're very far ahead, or you just have a ton of damage, get vision in their top side jungle and go for baron. Make sure your team sweeps the baron and get some pinks down. When you do get that baron, back to buy your third item, and just push mid.unless you have like ancombo to tank, or you get a pick. If your Lux gets a Q E R on a good target, then go for it, but don't overdo it. As said in the previous chapter, don't take big risks when you don't have to. You will get the turret eventually when you have baron, there's no need to take the risk and possibly throw the game.That's fine, you won't always win lane.Farm safely, get gold and exp, and try to scale up. After you've farmed up and went to buy your item(s), try to group with your team and get a few kills. You will probably still be behind compared to your opposing laner, but when you look at your team, the gold deficit will not be that big (eg. you lost lane bot but your mid solokilled the enemy mid).The principles are still the same. If you just won lane, get the top turret, and group mid, or make a TP play bot.If you're ahead, make it so that you carry your team. Don't just sit in your lane and farm, and hope your team magically groups, or starts to win their lane. This is soloqueue,, you can't just go 5/0, then lay back and blame your team. This is why a lot of people are stuck at their elo.
