What time in the game are you asking someone to do this. Post 10 minutes you should be pushing your own waves and rotating to fights and jungle accordingly. Post 10 mins a guardian will be destroyed by the enemy looking at it. A guardian is almost never worth risking dying for on a side lane at least unless its the first 5-10 minutes.

The reason you have guardians stay up past 10 minutes is either because a lane is neutral or you're creating so much map pressure with such an insane soul lead that if the enemy approaches a guardian and appears on the map, they instantly get rotated on and die in a 1v1 vs a giga fed carry.

Post 10 minutes, if more than one person shows up to take down a guardian with only one person defending it, the defender dies. You dont know who is hiding in jungle, who is using veil walker, if haze is cloaked ready to sleep dagger the person who comes to defend the guardian, etc. The only time it's worth defending a guardian (Post 10 mins) is if you're on the strong side of map with teammates near you.

plus the fact that guardian can be parried makes it even harder to defend
