User blog:Fistful of Force/Don't Die.

This advice is aimed towards those who are trying to climb, or cannot understand how they can become better.

The most important aspect of league of legends in high elo is ping and low death. Your ping, you cannot do anything about, because unless you lve right next to the servers, you're not going to be able to do anything.

The death thing though is super important because each death helps your enemies three times more than if you get a kill: Firstly, if you die, you give the kill gold and experience, next, you are out of the field, for the time that you are dead, and cannot stop the enemy from doing what they want. Finally, you give the enemy a chance to recover from your work towards killing him (letting him time to heal and recover cds). In this way, by dying it is as if you are dying three deaths, one that you live, the death of your past work, and the death of the future you.

I challenge anyone who is reading this now to open up your client, and look at your KDA. Does it seem good? Now, multiply your Deaths by three. How about now?

This may seem to be an exaggeration, but trust when I say this is not: Deaths are three times more powerful than kills, and thus must be avoided whenever possible.
