Are you playing ranked or casual?

Casual, I doubt I'll ever play ranked.

The reason I asked is because you and your teammates should be calling your roles before you pick your god. The roles are: support, ADC, jungle, mid, and solo. Are you calling support before you pick Ymir? That might be where part of the confusion comes from.

Yes I always call support.

Do other people always call their roles? Not every role is limited to a particular damage type: some mages can do very well as the ADC, jungler, solo, or support, while some physical gods can do very well in mid. If you're calling support then you should always head over to the duo lane and support whoever joins you there. You shouldn't be rotating to the other lanes until ~ level 5 or earlier depending on when the enemy support starts to rotate or your ADC can handle duo by themselves.

Most people call their roles but not everyone. But the ones I follow usually do.

Alright. Make sure you're always following the ADC. If nobody calls it, head over to Duo lane (the one with the purple buff camp). You can fight it out in chat if multiple people head that way.

Well I think I know why you're having so many issues: the current Odyssey quest is to play one game of Conquest, which means a lot of people who have no idea how it's played are playing it. I had a game where the guy who called support went to solo and my support wound up being Scylla. Needless to say that game didn't last long. Hopefully the non-Conquest players will get their one game out of the way and go back to the other modes soon because that game was painful.

Hopefully. Right now my friends are back so me and them are doing conquest.
