I don't understand laner logic.

Here comes me as the jungler going to farm two minion waves on top while Singed is at base. He has 250ish CS and I have 80 CS and I'm being pinged away from the whole thing. Needless to say I said fuck it and farmed the whole thing and watched the salt flow. I mean he obviously needed the CS more with already a near 200 difference in it not to mention he was always 2 levels above me.

Edit: This was already past the laning phase with turrets already taken. Edit 2: Some salty fellow went and downvoted everything in this thread.

its to further push the lead he has and make it even more difficult for the enemy to come back.

all you're doing is redistributing the gold from him, to you. but if hes the one carrying you, its was a bad move from you.

i really doubt you needed to take a laners farm over some other jungle camp on the map. ( you get bonus gold from, if he takes the camp the team is missing out on that 30g)

im a mid laner, you can tax when you show up, but if you take full waves you better be split pushing or just pushing in general. or defending the turret.

you don't get bonus gold for jungling anymore...

I don't really know. I personally would rather my lane be reset when I return, so ty not to push it if you want to farm. Just freeze as best as you can.

It was well past the laning phase and turrets were already taken. He just wanted it all to himself.

Ah, that adds some context. I don't know :/

This all depends on the situation: where the minions are, how many turrents are left, whether singed had summoner 12 or not. If he can get there you should not take the creeps. Every little bit of gold helps to build his next item which will only help the team. As the jungler, there are plenty of camps around IMO so the creep score is not as important.

If it is past laning phase and you aren't a carry, you don't ping anyone away from creeps. Period. Singed can't solo carry, the fuck you need those creeps for when its way past laning?

If it's like that then if the inhib goes down, why not let Singed take care of that lane by himself since he "needs the farm"? Exactly. Farm priority is always ADC > Mid > Whoever is most able to carry.

I dont know the exact situation, but i will tell you a situation when i hate anyone touching "my wave". Im top this game and both of us toplaner lost their tier1 turret. Im stronger than him and i have a good push. I push the wave all the way to tier2 turret. I roam mid to set a group for whatever objective. Meaningwhile there is a nice train building up on top lane pushing slowly towards our map side (here is where its important) THAT TRAIN IS EATING ALL HIS CS, THIS IS STARVING HIM because he is force to assist his team and i plan to pick up the pot somewhere safely on my side of the map, when i will be done roaming, i will ward his jungle so i can push back the wave to turret safely. Thank you to not touch "my wave". Its not wrong to take a wave as a jungler, its bad when u do it and set a freeze because u didnt shoved it properly for example. Its bad if u kill just enough minions to send the train back to there side on longer lane etc...

i really don't mind, if the jungler doesn't take them, the enemy minions will die to our minions, that's wasted gold, if the jungler farms them, that's more gold to the team.

it would be justified if they didn't want to push, but as you said, you were past lane phase and with turrets taken.

Screw him, just do it anyways. It's not like you were 10 minutes in and messing up his freeze or anything. CSing isn't reportable...

Just tax the lane and don't worry. Ask yourself this questions while playing your game. Who can you trust more to carry and close out the game? Is is you or is it the other guy?
