I've seen the light, but still need some help

In the past week I've climb from b5 to B1 and I'm almost in my promos. I'm actually carrying a LOT of my recent games. I've been seeing more how the "my shitty teammates" argument is not as true as I had believed. I've seen when I'm tearing shit up most of my team will follow my lead. My question tho is after getting first tower, let's say bot side me and support will most of the time try to help mid. So fast forward let's say we have gotten all 3 of their outer turrets l. This is where I go into this "deer in headlights" mode. I think about pushing bot, but going alone is dangerous. I try to help mid but they got 3 people guarding their turret, so we can't really push. After those outer turrets fall what should the main focus be? Hard push one lane? Or split push?

Try warding up the near part of the enemy jungle and waiting for one of them to be out of position.

With all that information, making picks and choosing rotations becomes your game.

What I normally tell my team to do is set up a pushing wave in one lane and we all group in another.

When the minion wave is on your side of the map, it will automatically push towards the enemies because your ally minions will get to the wave faster, killing off the 6 minions faster and leaving 3 or so minions from the original wave. So, now that there are 9 ally minions walking down. 6 more minions spawn for each side, so your 9 now becomes 16 vs 6. Clearly it's going to keep pushing until something stops it, like a champion or a tower.

Another way to set it up is to clear out 3 minions from a wave like the 3 ranged minions. Your 6 will slowly kill the other 3 without losing too many. This is an easy way to set up a slow push cause you can do that then still have time to walk to the other side of the map as the wave starts to build.

That's one easy way cause it doesn't require you to do anything dangerous like invading the enemy jungle. You can set this up from the safety of your tower and let it go. You just need to be able to capitalize when someone goes to answer that wave by possibly taking another tower or getting baron/dragon.
