Hi guys, I have a question that has been bugging me for a while, and I need to know what it is I'm doing wrong.
I'm in Bronze 4 and trying to improve my Kassadin game, and while I got the "warp in and shit on their squishies" part down, my problem is with when to do it in a teamfight. One complaint my teammates seem to give me is that I don't go in enough, and I'll try to give unbiased reasons why. Last game I got called out for not helping in a 3v5 ambush (with me being the fourth guy) where my teammates got caught in an unwarded brush. I believed I was right in doing so, since 3 deaths is less than 4 right? But this is a common complaint, so I'm wondering if I'm being too conservative. Also in my last ranked game, our Vi initiated them under their tower after we both poked each other a bit, and I hesitated to go in until I was confident I could annihilate a weakened carry and then run from the fight that we were losing. This got me called a kill-stealer and they said I lost us that fight. Was I right to not go in till the end?
So, what I ask is: When do I go in? When do I run away? Is all the hostility I'm getting from noobs that don't understand my role in teamfights, or do I misunderstand it? For comparison, my current understanding of my role is to kill their ADC or AP caster and then run until my cooldowns refresh and do it again. If I can't do this, then I don't go in unless there's a runner, in which case I'll try and hunt them down.
