User blog comment:XelNecra/Top 10 "small things that made me play better"/@comment-66.222.188.175-20130123055133

66: I'd just like to add a comment or two, although it reads more like advice/ranting than a Top Ten.

Listen to your Gut

I can't remember how many times I thought (or felt), "They are going to pop outta that brush and gank me," but I didn't listen and got slaughtered. Especially on Ashe - I don't know if it's just me, but it sometimes feel like I have a sixth sense with her and that hawkshot. Multiple times, I'd think to myself throw a hawk into that unwarded river and either ignore it and die or see the Maokai coming towards me. So, trust that gut!

Committing to Dives and Teamfights

Now, I'm far from perfect at this, but few things frustrate me more than when I'm playing a champ (I prefer AP mid) with low/none mobility but lots of potential to start something and I participate in an engage, and then my team leaves. I'm not talking about stupid suicides (although they happen), but when you could have had a teamfight on equal or better grounds and they all peace out. Of course I die, I'm a Zyra with a flash down and a wasted ult. So please, I realize it requires more extensive champion knowledge, but if you see someone diving who you know is a 100%-in kind of champion looking for that one teamfight, commit.

Junglers and Ganking

Speaking as a laner, don't wait for the perfect moment. Don't let them bring me to 50% before you decide to waltz in. Most of the times I don't try to start my duel until you've started walking out of the bush. Also, as a psychlogical thing even if nothing come of the gank having your presence known will intimidate my opponent and help me crush them into tiny pieces (a least, that's how I imagine it :D).
