Do you have MOBA experience? It's a lot about controlling the flow of gameplay more than focusing on raw statistics. I think Gengar is insanely broken but the same principles can be applied with most characters. Your goal is to always make the enemy team have to react to what you're doing, to be efficient and control the pacing of the game more than just getting a kill or two and praying. Especially in this game because death timers are so low, getting a kill is often not enough to score unless you get a full wipe off who's in the lane. But really your goal is to go where the enemy isn't and make them waste time reacting to you, which takes some foresight and planning on where to go ahead of time. But you can just pick Gengar and kill 3 people on your own and score for free and you'll have a much easier time, just saying.

Anyway though, in general this game is very defense focused which is why Zapdos is so op because it removes the opponents ability to defend, but unless you have a big numbers advantage it's almost impossible to score because defending is so much easier since you only have to hit them once. So your goal is really around map play and trying to go where they aren't to sneak points in, and then defending the rest of the time. It's a balance of tempo that makes this game interesting because they force you to do so much in such a little time span. I like that the camp respawn rate is so high because it feels like you can never really perfect a flow of where to go and what to do, you're always having to react to the enemy which is nice.

Anyway I mean once Gengar gets nerfed then 1v9ing will be tough and it will be really focused on map play and understanding of game tempo and taking advantage of your opponents movements and the game will be very hard to climb solo. But in general with MOBAs (and team games in general) it's always going to be a game of numbers, because you can do everything perfectly and still lose if your teammate RNG is bad. So you have to accept that sometimes you're going to be wasting 10 minutes of your life and that's the nature of the beast. At least this game is capped at 10, playing league so much has me so happy that I'm only wasting 10 minutes every time and not up to 40 or 50
