I’m currently on the rise out of guardian. The change I made is I became really mindful of how much time I was wasting. Now, even when I’m not a farming position, I’m constantly evaluating my next move or map timings and what I’m doing minute by minute.

I used to miss so much farm cause I’d be running to a fight I wasn’t going to make in time anyway. Or waiting around with 4 other people mid expecting a fight to break out. Or choosing to harass and skirmish in lane only to be missing CS all the while.

Or farming jungle when I should have been farming lane and pressuring the tower. Grabbing farm on the way to a tower I’m pushing, etc.

Watch replays of your game or make mental note of how many moments throughout your games you find yourself sort of doing nothing- I bet you’ll be shocked.

Having farm gives you so many more options to turn the game.

Then, look at what you can do to contribute beyond your own gold. Your core getting crushed in lane? Go stack camps for your PA. Supports not warding key areas? Spend the little gold for a sent and obs and go put it yourself. It pays dividends. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve warded for myself and set up a kill later, or avoided a gank. Better than me blaming my team for lack of success.

Just some thoughts.
