Also on a separate note what are some tips for farming a contested lane safe lane (2 vs 2)? Is it worth the Carry pulling if the support wont or is the loss of XP not worth it? Thanks!! @2.: Depends a bit on how contested your lane actually is. Unless the lane is impossible, pulling the creepwave with creepaggro and getting extra regen is the way to get cs in these lanes. If I pull the wave as carry I almost always farm the enemies' wave under my tower. The reason is that for an aggro lane the risk/reward heavily leans to contesting a pull over trying to kill a carry farming under the tower. XP wise an early wave (3 melees and a ranged creep) gives roughly the xp (215) of a hard camp (~213) and a little less than 2 small camps (~240). So if you pull and the enemy contest and drive you off, they get double the exp if they lasthits your wave. Changes if they share it with anyone (like your sup f.e.) or miss a bunch. | ||

I will keep working on pulling creep aggro and csing under tower. I will have to be less greedy and grab some more regen when the occasion calls for it (courier usage always a blast in pubs!) | ||

Usually I never say anything but I was wondering if you guys had some magic phase that will make toxic morons start behaving like decent human beings? | ||

Hey dude, pls stop being toxic we are all trying. Proceed to mute him for the next 5 mins and unmute him back. If it doesn't help, just play your best, if it's a 100% loss practice stuff like new ward spots, farm on the enemy jungle, watch map movement, think about what you could've done better. At least it'll not be a useless game | ||

You are welcome  Yeah shipping salves has saved so many midlanes and carry lanes for me.

Flamewars aren't helping" is what I usually write. Sometimes it helps (especially if it shuts down the reply from the guy who is getting criticised), sometimes it doesn't. Also after 2 or 3 strikes I mute them and recommend others in my team to do so as well. It's better to play 4v5 and have some fun than to play 0v10 cause everyone is tilting like crazy because mister edge is bleeding so much. | ||

Your carry can always farm jungle (not as efficient i agree). After 3 camps or 4 his lane should be closer to your t1 again, wich is safe enough. But in the end being carry this patch means boots->transitional item asap(10~12min) -> fight fight fight | ||

@solidbee: Depends on the game, if their mid is missing/they got a lot of jump ready and you don't feel safe, keeping the equilibrium can be beneficial. Also pushing is generally not advised if the other side has someone absorbing the xp if you can't really push the tower yet. You don't want to give the offlaner free exp if your sup can't stackpull (uneven minute)/chainpull (dire). If they don't have anyone in your lane though and you see most of them on the map, go for the tower. The bonus gold accelerates your team and you can just pull to drag the lane back to your tower after their tower is gone. You definitely don't want to farm next to their t2 unless you are intentionally splitpushing. | ||
