I've think i've finally cracked the code.
Tell me if this has been any of you:
Either you get a crazy good lead early 3 kills bot, open the scoreboard after a while and youre up in kills on the enemy jg but down in cs somehow even though you feel like you're pathing super well.
Or you're farming perfectly, but then you look at the minimap and a 2v2 is happening and you think "Fuck< I coulda been there if I wasnt on my camps and turned it."
The thought i've had this time is that you do need to keep up farm 24/7 to stay consistent in the game but that may lose you ganks and invades that could snowball you.
I believe the way is to pick an angle based on their comp at the start of the game: either go for farming CHAMPS or for CAMPS and commit to that logic. One strong approach is better than 2 weak ones after all. So if youre focused on kills (Squishy enemies) then sit in bushes, control ward enemy jg, gank bot between towers. If youre going for farm, just rush tiamat, scale them out, buy GA and get engages. Perhaps trying to do both every game is best left to challengers.
