What are you supposed to do when your team gives your enemy laner 4 kills at the start of the game?

Ok so.... I was playing Yorick into a Renekton, which is a guaranteed loss of lane basically, but I still had a chance to play it safe and take objectives. We start up the game and the Yi wants to invade, my botlane and mid follow up, and they get first blood. They then overstay their welcome, trying to take the red buff while the enemy jungler and his botlane are still with him, I thinking they'd take first blood and leave didn't TP down. My laner (Renekton) had decided to leash his jungler as well and was botside with Rengar, he (while my team were trying to take red buff) picked them off one by one in a matter of (around) 10 seconds. So at this point I realise that I'm fighting a 4/0 renekton with a level one tiamat. I play it safe staying back and letting my ghouls farm while I stay at turret. Then Renekton reaches level 3, mind you I'm playing very passively and just reached level 2, he all ins me at this point and kills me in 3 seconds (I pulled slightly away from tower to get some more ghouls, I also took ghost so I had no hard escape). After that I died under turret twice more, with my jungler giving him 2 kills them self, resulting in a 9/0 Renekton at around the 7-8 minute mark. He all ins me once more I stall for as long as I can with my W and E, but I die and he takes turret. The rest of the game was a stomp, he could one shot whoever he damn well pleased and we couldn't shut him down, he was level 15 when our fed jinx was level 11. I admit I was tilted after my lane was ruined since there wasn't even a remote evenness in gold. However, for the future, what should or could I have done to prevent this/counteract my team feeding my laner (Renekton) massively?

First of all, the sooner you accept that summoner 4 is practically mandatory on all champs, the better.

Second, with Renekton at 4-0 at the very start of laning phase, you had very little chance at all to win lane. Your best bet was to completely give up CSing anywhere that wasn't under your tower and buy item 3076 first item, then pretty much build full tank and use your summoner 4 to survive him diving you.

Third, you should have told your jungler to focus the other lanes and never come top. A Renekton that fed could easily 1v2 or even 1v3 you guys, and there was no point in your jungler being there because you weren't going to win lane anyway. Better than he spend his time trying to get all your other teammates ahead so that you could beat the croc as a team.

Renekton at 4/0 at the start of the game with Tiamat is a tough one. I would advise staying literally at your tower (don't even try to get up to cs) and let Renekton push in the wave (since he has Tiamat). Also you could of farmed the (Gromp, Krugz, or Skuttle) for the max of your experience pool. There's not much you can do but power farm at that point, and try to warn your teammates whenever he roams. Also take note of if he roams and you follow him, you'll probably lose the trade because you're losing even more (XP) so just stay top and push in the wave (what Yorick is meant to be). Also don't even let your jungler gank if your laner is fed, only if you know guaranteed you guys will kill him. Also earlier you should of been with your team if Renekton was there 1-3 min mark.

I play a bit of Renekton. Honestly there is nothing you can do. His R will enable him to dive you, so you can't even sit under tower. Hover in XP range and if he makes a move just leave it. Getting no gold is bad. Getting no XP is worse. Giving gold and XP is even more of a bad time. If something like that happens, mute all and just afk the lane at the edge of XP. You can't do anything, if you try you will guarantee die. Honestly it sucks but if your laner is ever like 4/0 and you/re 0/0, afking the lane and letting them free farm is the best option. You don't get anything when you're dead, might as well wait for them to roam then farm while they leave.

Pick Singed so it doesn't matter if you lose lane [slayer-jinx-wink]

Honestly, just cry and sit under tower. Mute your team too because they'll undoubtedly try to blame you even if it wasnt your fault really.

The best you can hope for after being dealt a fairly critical wound like that in the early game is to try to survive and limit the bleeding. In other words, dont give him more kills. He'll be super well farmed, he'll probably get the tower but if you're keeping up in exp, you can let the tower go and take the long lane as a chance to freeze and free farm.
