so which is the best answer or idea?

/rant The team is made up of Saw, Celeste, and Koshka vs Skarf, Taka, And Krul. I'm playing Koshka and immediately get overwhelmed by both Taka and Krul. I call for help while saw and Celeste are picking away at minions in the lane. They don't even come down. I finally make it to level 2 while taka and Krul are 4. Still asking for help, do I get any? No. I abandon the jungle as I can't get any kills there, go to the lane mop up minions with my team, then they pop the caution button, I guess they don't want me farming in their lane. I'm looking all over my screen and can't find the F_off button, (please add that for future updates), and keep farming the lane, hoping one will give up and go to the jungle. Finally make it to level 4 while Taka and Krul are 6. Can't do anything in the jungle, while saw and Celeste finally are able to tackle one enemy turret. Woo hoo! Tried to get their attention to get the gold mine, no interest, they keep popping minions together. Enemy gets the free 900 gold and keeps all mines. Any time I try to take one, alone mind you, by the time I get it I'm ganked by Taka and Krul, another death for me, joy! Then about minute 18, saw and Celeste are still trying to take the second turret and you can see my scout mines around Kraken, all 3 enemies are there. You think my team would react? Nope! Only manage to get second turret to half health when the kraken is released. I died trying to get the last hit on it. Now my team reacts, they go to our first turret and get killed by the enemy, aced. I respawn and go to attack kraken, get two enemy kills and nagged by the third. kraken is able to take out all the lane turrets and damage one crystal turret. Damn my team sucks! Think that maybe my team would get the hint and help in the jungle a bit, nope, I get ganked taking the minion mine, while saw and Celeste are killed trying to take out the second turret.

So maybe I'm wrong in assuming that I should get some assistance in the jungle, the two of them were playing against Skarf in the lane and not really making progress.

I like to use two or three 'question' marks for that. Like "are you freaking serious????"

You should've gotten some assistance, but in a match like that, unless the two laners manage to push forward and harrass the single enemy laner enough so that he simply has to call for backup, thus leaving you one-on-one at the jungle... Sorry pal, but you're simply doomed. SAW in jungle is a disaster waiting to happen (especially against those two bursty junglers), and Celeste is too squishy without proper protection to deal enough damage before being overrun and with no turret nearby for additional backup.

tl;dr: you were doomed from the get-go :(

I can't believe it, but it happened again. Same scenario, saw and Celeste were my teamates. From now on, I guess the way to fix it is wait to lock in. In the event that my teamates lock in as saw and Celeste I'll just wait out the timer and restart.

Were they under the same IGN? If so, you better avoid them next time!

As I said earlier, two laners isn't neccesary bad (not the same as good, though), but if they're both practising or just bad overall... That's a lost match, for sure.

I feel your pain Dadderz. Hope is that the two laners take out a turret and enemy focuses off jungle.

Also had the same issue with Koshka in the jungle. My approach was to give up the jungle and help the lane to push forward, ignoring any pings. They should have the smarts already to get ironguard contracts prior to you getting there. 3 vs 1 will definitely push forward, especially with Koshka's aggressiveness.

Did it help in my case? Definitely not. We still got trounced....lol. Like Aquiday said, you're just unfortunately doomed from the start.

BTW... Celeste can definitely assist in the jungle. With Koshka pouncing (within Celeste range), Celeste can harass enemies and put them on the defensive... allowing Koska to do her business.
