Farming is your foundation. Good macro gets you to the fight. Farm is what wins it. If you're showing up to the right fights but you're too weak because you didn't farm, it doesn't matter if you're at the right fight or not. You're still going to lose because your stats aren't strong enough. Reviewed an Amumu going 4.5, 4.9, 5.5 CSPM in his recent games. Everyone else in the lobby was on 7, 8, 9 CSPM, which meant they were higher level and had more items than him. It feels easy to skip camps on Amumu. Oh I'm still going to be useful, I'm just going to get my ulti off. But even though you're a tank, you need to be able to actually tank and last longer in fights, and that means you need items. You're still aiming for around 6.5, 7 CSPM. When you don't know what to play for, you farm. Pull up your last 10 games and check your CSPM BEFORE you queue again.

Play with chat off. A lot of people debate with me on this. I used to play with chat on and it made every game harder for me. One game I could've carried, but my mind wasn't in the right place. I had chat on, and I let the chat distract me. Chat doesn't need to tilt you to hurt you. It just needs you to read it. Even if your mental is perfect, and even if you know for sure it's not going to affect you, the fact that you're reading chat is changing your focus from what's going on in the game to what's going on in chat. Turning it off helped me so much. When I have chat off, I can actually focus. And if you want to tell your team something, that's what pings are for. Give yourself a fair shot and turn chat off BEFORE your next game.
