A couple of options:
- If you take first turret, rotate for dragon, or call jungle/bot lane for rift herald. If they are taken, swap lanes. Duo goes middle, mid goes top, you go bot. If the duo stays bot, farm under turret and let the 2v1 mid take the turret or call for a rotation to the bot lane and take bot turret. If top swaps to bottom, just take that turret and move on to option 2 or 3.
- If your team overall is doing well, clear waves quickly and move around the map looking for skirmishes. Pick off champs, then try for turret damage/dive for more kills.
- If team is struggling, and no drag/rift/baron to fight for, go for extended freeze. Team is struggling, so by roaming you will not necessarily get advantages. By freezing, you can deny resources. If the top laner roams, just ignore. You team might lose out, but they will be sharing exp/gold, while you scale up. End the freeze when a neutral objective comes up and fight for it. Evaluate after the fight - if the fight goes poorly, freeze again and deny the enemy resources and hope your team can catch up on gold/exp. If you win the fight, follow option 2.
You freeze when you aren't confident you can get advantages by grouping. Less people around minion waves gives increased exp, so you team will technically get stronger by you not being there. If your team ints while you aren't there, they would likely int if you were there anyways.
Freezes are strongest earlier in the game. As champions level up, they get more health and it becomes easier to dive. And as games extend, objectives become more available. A freeze at 15 minutes is much better than a freeze at 25 minutes. 15 minutes, adc has 1 item, vs 25 minutes, adc has 2. Adc will do more damage to turrets.
*Freezing is complicated at the macro level, so a long explanation. Unless you are playing a 4-1 champion like Jax or Fiora, at some point you want to group. That said, 3 lanes of resources>2 lanes of resources. If you can deny the enemy a lane for 4 minutes, you team wins out big. The delicate balance is not giving up too much(drags, towers, baron) while denying a lane.
