At some point I would want to make the knight move to bring it into the attack, but I was prioritizing the queenside pawn moves so that I can develop my bishop and castle kingside. Why was that a suboptimal idea?
These might also be the wrong way to think about things, so appreciate any teachings!

I'm a MF main, but play Ashe whenever MF is banned/picked - I like the idea of playing an ADC that can spread slows, help with vision, and engage from afar as a secondary champ so that I can hopefully impact the game even if I'm not confident on the champ/ expect I might get behind. She's also one of two ADC champs I have a skin for :P
But that mentality is akin to playing an ADC in a support role, so I'm trying to grow out of it. My issue is - what is Ashe's identity though? It seems like Ashe is supposed to poke out opposing ADCs during laning phase with her longer range + make them farm near my tower so that I have a long runway to chase them down if they overextend + kite anyone chas

Hi everyone, I'm a hard stuck new iron player (started last June, have played ~750 games) and main ADC secondary Support. I play MF mainly, and Ashe if unable to.
My goal for myself is to reach Bronze. I felt like anyone should be able to get to Bronze if they focus, but I've read/watched guides (from Saber/Ddang on ADC but also Perry/Cupcake/Rogue on other roles), go to practice tool to farm (I'm ~7 cs/min at 30 min... which is good enough for Iron, no?), done vod reviews, etc. to no avail.
I suspect my problem is I'm trying to improve at everything and end up doing nothing well. So, what specific skills would you recommend I improve on?

Gabe + Vando + 2025 2nd for Lonzo. Literally a blend of the best of both players - shoots threes, defends guards, makes connective passes, fits perfectly with AR in the backcourt, thrives in LA. The only issues with him are that he's coming back from injury so he's only good for ~20 mins a game + is an expiring asset. But hey, back from injury is better than still injured and we don't know how many seasons of LeBron + AD we have left.
Bulls get draft compensation + Vando/ Gabe are honestly great, impactful players (if they're fully healthy) and on easily movable contracts, so why not?

None of them makes us a championship contender, but if we didn't sign Valanciunas for free (since he was someone LeBron would take a paycut for), why would we give up assets to trade for him?
In basketball terms, his biggest advantage is he's big and improves our matchup vs Denver. But if we want a 260 lbs 6'10 veteran from Europe, Vucevic is a passable floor spacer (career 35%, >40% this year) and Poeltl is better defensively + doing the dirty work

Hey! I main Nautilus support, and am trying to improve my macro decision-making. I recently had a game where I thought I did well, but upon review, saw a few decisions that seem reasonable to me but may actually be questionable. As such, I uploaded a vod (2x speed, link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnxFbZdM9-U&ab\_channel=GoodOnThree) and have timestamps below to request for macro advice:
- When should I engage when contesting dragons/ what can I trade (21:50, 33:40, and 40:10)? (1) we were down numbers, so I felt like we should trade dragon but didn't know what else we could get, so I tried to stall them. (2) was for soul, and I saw their squishies in range, so I engaged and
