If you face three enemies in lane, that means they cannot level up very fast. So it's actually best for the laners to try and fight near your turret (by only dealing the killing blows to enemy minions and let them advance), while your third player levels up quickly and deposits mines. When he has gained 2-3 levels and some equipment, he can be of much more help. Remember, that a turret is a much stronger ally than a level 1 teammate.
I concede though, that it feels better if he shows up...
