To review split push and group decision mistakes in League of Legends, rewind 30 seconds before the throw and check whether you had wave pressure, vision, and a trade ready — most macro losses are wrong assignment, not bad teamfight mechanics. On thatswhy.gg, pick that mid-game throw, hit Coach Me, and read Recurring Habit. Five mid with no wave is a group project where nobody brought the poster board. Review the assignment, then queue with one rule.
| Situation | Better Call | Common Mistake | What You Usually Lose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outer towers just fell | Assign one side lane pusher; others hold mid with vision | Five players aram mid with no waves pushed | Inner towers and side lane gold |
| Baron or elder in 90 seconds | Push both side lanes, then group on objective side | Group mid early with no side pressure | Objective, tempo, or the game |
| You win side lane 1v1 | Split with sweep; team threatens mid or opposite side | Join every mid skirmish and leave side lane open | Your lane lead and map control |
| Enemy has stronger siege | Group and contest with numbers; trade side lanes after | Split on a teamfight champion with no escape | Pick, tower, or shutdown gold |
| Team pings mid while you catch a crash | Finish the wave or hold; rotate only if trade is real | Drop the crash and arrive late to a lost fight | Two waves and nothing from the rotation |
| Champion Profile | Default Assignment | Review Question When You Lose |
|---|---|---|
| Split push specialist (Tryndamere, Fiora, Jax) | Side lane with vision; team holds mid | Did I split without a mid-lane trade ready? |
| Teamfight carry (Kog'Maw, Viktor, Orianna) | Group for objectives; farm side only when safe | Did I walk into side lane alone after outers fell? |
| Engage tank or support | Group for vision and setup; never idle mid | Did we group with nothing to siege or contest? |
| Assassin or pick (Zed, Qiyana, Evelynn) | Group for picks near objectives; flank with information | Did I start the fight before side lanes were pushed? |
| Vague Goal | Specific Queue Rule |
|---|---|
| Macro better | Push side lane before I answer mid ping |
| Stop throwing split pushes | Never split past river without sweep |
| Stop losing to aram mid | Only group when an objective timer is under 90 seconds |
| Convert lane leads | After outers fall, I take one side lane assignment for three waves |
Frequently Asked Questions
- When should I split push instead of grouping in League of Legends?
Split when you win extended side lane trades, have wave pressure built, vision on the lane you are pushing, and your team can hold mid or objective side without hard engaging. Group when the next objective or fight is the win condition.
- What is the aram mid trap in solo queue?
After outer towers fall, five players hover mid river with no side lane pressure while both side lanes crash into inner towers. It feels active but wastes tempo and hands free map income to the enemy. Everyone showed up. Nobody brought the board.
- How do I review a bad group fight that was actually a macro mistake?
Rewind 30 seconds before the engage. Ask who was supposed to split, whether side waves were pushed, and whether your team grouped with a timer or by habit. The assignment mistake usually appears before the fight starts. Flash timing does not fix a missing assignment.
- What is the most common split push mistake in ranked?
Pushing alone without vision or a mid-lane trade ready — so when you draw attention, your team loses a 4v5 elsewhere and you die for nothing. A fork with one utensil is just a stick.
- How do I review this on thatswhy.gg?
Search your Riot ID, pick a loss where mid game felt like chaos after outers fell, hit Coach Me, and read Recurring Habit. Excuse Me, Coach? — should I have been grouped or splitting 30 seconds earlier? If the group project keeps failing, Why Am I Losing? after five analyzed SR losses is the checkpoint.
