Always TRY to give gold to your carries

Just won a game against a Shaco who was super far ahead in the early game. But late game, we walked over team fights just be looking at them funny however. The sad thing was, their team was pretty good. The problem, was that their carries had no gold, while we had a gold fed and farmed Twitch, Talon and Ekko. What is important to note, is their Sivir had good farm, and in team fights she had good positioning. Leona also did a GREAT job peeling for her.

Sivir only had 4 kills however. Was this because Sivir was 'bad'? No, it's because she had 10 assists. Was Leona stealing her kills? No, Leona had 12 assists and only 4 kills. Hmm... Kat didn't take the kills, she had 9 assists. Yorick did not take them. Where did the kills go? Shaco had 15... that is where.

Honestly, their team performed admirably. But every time Shaco ganked for them, he would burn absolutely any summoner or spell to be sure he got the kill. This is absurd. You are an early game only jungle assassin, you fall off late game. You need your team fed.

I on the other hand was doing cruddy early game. But I helped my team secure kills and objectives. I went 2/3... with 26 assists. What is important to note, is almost all our kills went to twitch, with some extras for Talon. We needed Twitch fed to carry us. We needed Talon to have enough gold to assassinate Sivir. That is why we walked all over team fights. Even though the enemies had good organization, got inhibs first and overall most of them had excellent positioning. All the gold was on somebody who doesn't have nearly as much use in the late game.

Lesson? Try to give your carries gold when possible. I'm not saying risk kills escaping, or never farm your areas. But if your ADC can secure a kill, let them, if they need red buff and aren't dying too much, give it to them. If your mid takes wraiths, don't flip out and spam '?' ping on them. Most junglers, are better off letting those lanes get the gold, sometimes even top.

Just throwing it out there. Because I see too many people at the end of the games going "support most dmgs!?!?!?!?!" Or "Wow my ADC did nothing!" when they have 10 kills and the ADC has 10 assists. Cutting their kill gold in half. Carries are gold reliant, want them to do damage? Give them gold.
