how to deal with a team which doesn't push in General Discussion

    so it looks like i am getting paired with archon 1-5 now and the pushing is as shit as it was at 3.3k and 1.2k. I am playing mostly Bristle offlane and most of my harassment is successful but why don't people push. I'm fucking Bristleback and I had to go and down towers while the rest of my team is somewhere else or just random roaming. What might be the reason they don't push after heroes die and how do I get them to push other than tell them to push (because I've tried that)? Like distinct pinging, wrote "follow me" in chat, "all mid". Why the fuck do people run away while you're tanking...?

      stick with them. gather them up to rosh or something, they are your team
      nothing good can come from going against everyone

          if it wasnt your level of play you would easily rocket through the bracket without problems mate

          keep high attitude and have fun with your team, they are your company for the next 20-50 minutes, make the best out of it

            because people at our level don't understand the game enought to know what they should do. Some people, especially if they had a bad lane and are behind don't feel comfortable pushing. Sometimes you're close to a major item and it might be better to wait rather than push.
            Generally there's not a valid reason for not pushing and it's just a misunderstanding of strengths and what you should be doing.

              also when you're trying to get your team to push don't yell at them. Encourage them to push and explain the reasons for pushing and they're more likely to respond.

                  Pick Pusher! Bristleback can't push, i would pick this guy never again in my whole life, because he sucks so hard at pushing.

                      You pick any hero that can push or you gitgud enough to stomp all their hero at 10min so that your team actually have the confidence to push

                        Sometimes playing offlane means you'll need to pick someone who can take objectives. I find picking someone like Broodmama or NP and just passively solo playing your lane helps a bit. But as for team mates that do not push maybe just pick your pusher yourself as I've stated. If all else fails, try grabbing a ward or two and just place it at a spot where you can spot TPs and try taking objectives. Even if your character is not considered good at pushing, just try and do it safely on your own me thinks. Hope it helps :D
