How Not to Die

Chapter 2: How Not to Die

Much like many other Rts dying is not exactly the best thing. To help prevent this you must follow these simple rules.

1. Do not run directly to the enemies when you are outnumbered. This is the easiest way to prevent deaths. If you engage on an enemy when you are outnumbered YOU WILL DIE unless you are obscenely fed then go ahead and do whatever you want. When determining if you are outnumbered  take account champions and also minions as in the early game minions can be the difference between a kill or a death.
2. BUY WARDS. This will help prevent deaths not only for you but also your allies as wards provide vision over areas of the map where you have no idea what might be there. Many high level players do not follow this rule and therefore die a lot.
3. Play safe in your lane. Overextension in your lane can be fatal for this allows the enemy jungler or other lanes to gank you and possibly kill you.
4. Use your skills wisely. If you think you are going to die and you have a means of escape THEN USE IT. This denies the enemy precious gold and experience and allows you to contribute more to a fight.
5. DO NOT ATTACK ENEMIES UNDER THE TOWER. If you do this then the tower will start to attack you and towers kind of hurt. Ok, they hurt a lot. So don't do that
6. Follow your team. This goes back to point number one and follows the general rule of power in numbers.
7. Don't facecheck bushes. This can be lead to be fatal as a facecheck can lead to a death and that can eventually snowball the game out of control. Facechecking occurs when you enter a bush now knowing what is inside. There could be nothing and you could be completely fine. However, there could be an enemy or several enemies and they will probably kill you. So make sure you have vision over bushes whether it be through wards or several other forms of vision.
8. Be wary of the enemy skills. If you are low in your lane and the enemy has a global skill, a skill that can be fired to any spot on the map, then you should go back to base.
9. If you are low in lane then you should just back up. Don't be afraid to leave your lane unattended for healing is more important than feeding a kill and possibly losing your lane still.
