User blog:Dracko40/The Angry Illithid: I win Fights with a little Help from my Friends...

A great thing to learn is how to be there for your team. Call your mias, ward your lane, and let your jungler know if you need relief to go shop for something. However, this also means actually being there for your team, as in "present for team fights." If you loligag around and let your team get screwed because you didn't help in fights, you're not being a good addition to the team.

Flashback to the last game I had. We had a first timer Kayle, which while irritating, wasn't something I was freaking out about. I jungled Udyr, so Kayle took the solo top. He was actually doing really well, as in killing spree at 12 minutes. However, when we were forced into team fights, he was always on the other side of the map, hitting the creep wave. Every single fight we had that game was a 4v5, all of which we lost.

Now, I can understand running to push a side lane durring a team skirmish if you're say, Yi, twisted, teemo, etc. But when you're Kayle, as in support-dps Kayle, as in shield-to-save-the-squishy Kayle, you can't afford to do that. Help your team out, or they are going to be very mad at you.
