Just had a game where I played really selfless as top lane Hec... that felt so werid. So their team comp was J4 top, Lee jungle, Cass mid, Vayne/Leo bot.
I had priority top so I asked myself what was the best way I can snowball this game and usually it just solo kill their top laner and then TP bot. However J4 played really safe. So I said fuck it and just shove then ganked mid about 5 times. First time burned cass flash which lead to easy gank from jungler like 30 seconds later. 2nd time got my mid laner a kill, 3rd time burn flash where she died again within a minute. 4tth and 5th time killed her and took one of them for myself.
Point is I did that so their only AP threat was weak as hell which lead me to stack armor and just ran wild. In return I let j4 practically free farm top even though I was stronger. Which ended up making lane annoying for me but when it came time to team fight their cass was so useless and I had so much armor that I was 1v4ing or 1v3ing half the time and never died.
In the end it was an extremely easy game for us. Usually I hate throwing away advantage in lane especially when I had huge priority but I think I made the right choice this time. I gave him lane priority but he still couldn't solo kill me 1v1 and I got my mid to like 5-0 before lane phase ended.
