When you are behind. Help

Question. What is the best way to play when you are behind? I'm gangplank My team is down like 15-20 kills. I'm urging them to play passive and turtle. They instead yell at me for not joining team fights which Im urging them not to fight. I won lane, I was 100 cs ahead of the other top laner, but then they fed him a shit ton after he left lane. They know he'd around, meanwhile im up here free farming, split pushing, which is actually helping everyone. Yes he was roaming, but they refuse to ward. They refuse to turtle. they keep engaging dumb fights with no wards. Am I supposed to just jump in and fight with them. Be the bigger person? because when I do that, I end up feeding, which makes it worse.

Here's the thing. It's better to try things their way to see if it makes a difference. Honestly you will probably still lose in the given situation, but then you could at least say I told you so.

I say it depends on the situation. If you grouping will allow your team to turtle better, you should do it. While GP doesn't have the best wave clear, his is better and safer compared to some of the worst so it could help your team stall out if you group. Also with you being so far ahead, you should be able to catch the other laners unaware with how much you hurt because you aren't as behind as the rest of your team.

If you grouping doesn't provide anything beneficial, such as the enemy team will still push down inhibitor tower and inhibitor, you are best off AFK split pushing and trying to get as many towers for your team. Doing this will most likely have your team blame you for them losing even though they were the ones who fed and not you, but if you can get results and/or create pressure by pushing on the other teams inhibitor towers, you can help stall out the game long enough.

Just as a note, though, if your team is about 15-20 kills behind, you chances of winning are small regardless of the choice you make. Your only real chance of winning at this point is more through the enemy getting caught out or them misplaying HORRIBLY in teamfights.
