So, assuming at higher tiers everyone starts with essentially a level 1 team fight/invade, what is your tactic if you happen to have chars that are not ideal for early game (i.e - Krul)?

This has been probably my biggest issue, defending against the triple jungle invade at the start of the game. Do we just have to always have all 3 players sitting in the bush waiting for the invade, hoping our comp doesn't screw us up? Do we ignore their invasion and just go push lane turret, or sneak around and head into their jungle? Are we just screwed from the get-go if our comp is not ideal for an initial level 1 team fight? What are your tactics/strategies?

While only a 'decent-ish' player, this build (with slight situational variations) has finally helped me consistently win with the early-game survivability I was missing, snowballing into late game monster. Nice!
