>>518491221Playing safe = giving up any chance for yourself to carry because you're farmed starved. You play safe if you trust your team to carry.
League of Legends is not a zero sum game, if you choose to not interact you don't get to scale because you need to interact to get farm.
However this game is full of retards that can't be trusted, so nobody plays safe because their team will probably screw up anyways.
Classic prisoners dilemma basically. People have gotten burned too many times where they chose to play safe and then the retard that was "carrying" flashes in 1v5 and gives up a 1000 gold bounty to the enemy team's hypercarry and now all the playing safe was for NOTHING.
In high elo people play safe, not because they're enlightened sages but because they know their teammates and play with and against the same people constantly. "Oh I have that akshan smurf OTP who's really good and carried me twice the other day, I'm losing lane but I'll play safe because I trust that guy to perform". In low elo you have to trust some random guy you've never seen before and he has a 45% winrate and his name is Jimmybob225 and he's playing some fotm pick he's never played before like Yorick jungle. But he got a few kills so you're gonna play safe so he can carry right? No hell no you're not gonna trust Jimmybob225. Get fucking real. And to everyone else on your team you might as well be Jimmybob225.

Wow players are still to this day deeply embarrassed by how hard they got clowned on for paying for a sub during Shadowlands so whenever any other popular game has a negative downstroke they spam
