the number of throws that happen from over chasing low health enemies is insane. it happens to everyone, it’s 20 mins, you go side lane and enemy top matches you. you trade, they ignore you. you do it again and again and they’re 10%hp. they start to retreat so you chase, you get another hit in now they’re 5%. then enemy support hooks you from a bush, their mid full combos you and the 5% hp top laner finishes you off all while you’re stunned.

so how to avoid this? simple rule way: don’t chase more than 3 seconds

real way: 1. look at the map, if you don’t know where the enemies are they are coming to kill you

1. think about the enemies abilities. if they get their cd’s up can they kill you?

2. think about your abilities. if nothing goes wrong and the enemy just runs straight to tower, can you even kill them?

only chase when all 3 points support chasing AND there’s nothing better to do. getting tower plates and zoning enemy laner out is often better than going all the way to tier 2 to finish them off.
