Ok so last night I played a game with yorwick as support but I took smite instead of exhaust. U told my adc to play safe and farm unnder tower till I got back. I killed halve of junglers camps and came back to lane... I thought it worked pretty good but my adc died and was mad at me for not being their.. I think it is a good strategy to do take junglers camps early in game to keep them lower.. what are your thoughts.... it was not in a ranked game.
You named the reasons why it's bad already.
a) Your ADC gets zoned of most cs/exp or has to risk his life to even grab a couple of cs. I'm not sure what the enemy support was, but most of them can zone the adc very well, depriving him of levels and gold. So, in terms of gold, your team (=adc in this case) probably lost a lot more than you earned. So, even without your ADC dying, that was bad.
b) You risked your life to do it. Of course, it went well this time, but even a single ward can turn this into FB fro the enemy team.
c) Having a no-combat summoner as support means you lose a LOT of lane pressure. It's really easy to walk up and win trades, zone or even kill when you have a summoner advantage.
Its risky unless you do a double invade.
It can work, like Taric the Gay said, for a double invade, especially with a blitzcrank. Roaming as a support is not a bad thing to do at higher elo, where your adc will at least know how to last hit safely, or back to turret. At lower elo they will usually die and flame you... hard.
I've gone 10/13 games winning with Zyra support taking smite. We would get a double kill, THEN we take the enemy jungle while they're dead. That way we put 3 people behind. It works great. :D
