How do I deal with the Lv1 4/5-man invades?

I know "just ward it" is an answer, but that leaves me out of wards for Lv1/2/3 ganks. I know "don't leash the jungler, stay near tower" is an answer, but if I don't leash the Hecarim he's going to 'gank' the enemy Leona+Jhin under their tower twice and then refuse to take care of the AD he fed the f*ck out of.

I can't think of a solution outside of something that needs teamplay (that doesn't exist in Silver.) Do I buy a CWard with the gold I'd use to buy a potion and then pop it down where I'd usually otherwise ward? Does Lv1 jungle cheese not matter that much?

Have the dumbass adc ward it. They never use their wards anyways.

That usually doesn't happen in Silver, idk about Gold.

The problem is, due to the amount of available mobility and damage+CC, you'll be locked down and (likely) killed even if you're as far from their vision as you could possibly be at that time. Your vision doesn't extend to your whole screen, after all.

Is the only answer to just waste your ward? What about the Lv1/2 cheese ganks, then?

Your support can ward for the lvl1/2 cheese ganks.

be in a position that you can scout it if they commit after seeing you regardless... place a ward that sees their movement ie you need to know if they will continue with your side of the jungle or not go to their mirror side and do the same

Either gang up on them as a team (IF you can take them) or get your jungler to counterinvade.

If it's a 4/5-man invade they can't react to your counterinvade. If Hecarim runs topside and your top leashes him at their red (or you guys leash him at their red, wherever you end up going), you get the same results they did for less effort.

As an ADC, you can generally afford to ward the dot bush or somewhere else that'll let you know an invade is coming, since your support will still have a ward for lane. You can also generally rely on this as a support, as the ADC usually will ward the tribrush on their way to lane.
