User blog comment:Fistful of Force/Four common reasons you are losing your lane./@comment-76.197.14.100-20120625044720

all what you said is true, but i notice the main reason these 4 cases happen is cuz of CC.

taking damage and not doing anything back, u were probably stunned, and by the time duration was over they've retreated and u did no dmg.

ganks: most ganks are useless without CC. warwick needs suppress, mundo needs slow, alistar needs knockup and knockback, saying just a few. id like to know of a gank that went well without CC, unless the enemy lagged or is really stupid.

last hitting: its easy to last hit and retreat if ur scared of taking dmg, but if they got cc, ur not going anywhere.

towerdiving: this is obvious, if u get CC'ed while diving, ur most likely dead unlesss ur a tank.

most CC is easy to avoid if u stay far enough away, but against a champ like riven, who has mobility to go with the CC, you've lost the lane, unless jungler ganks.
