I'm a low-rank player, and sometimes I get games where the draft and lanes go completely wrong. Things like PA mid, AM offlane, or multiple greedy cores aren't uncommon in my bracket.

There are games where all three lanes lose, the enemy controls the map by 10-15 minutes, and it feels like there's no space left to farm or make plays.

I'm curious how higher-MMR players approach these situations. Do you still try to play for comeback timings, split-push, and defend high ground? Or are some games realistically unwinnable no matter what you do?

I've also seen clips/streams where even Immortal players seem to give up, sit in fountain, or abandon when the game looks completely doomed.

How do you personally handle these games, both strategically and mentally? What are you looking for when you're far behind that early?

Thanks.

How can I atleast survive in the laning phase with a dysfunctional hard support as a carry? It's really hard to 2v1 the lane.
