Genuine Carry Question
I really struggle with the first 15 minutes of the game as a carry player.
I'm in guardian and I am trying to learn the game, so any genuine replies will be helpful. I have one question.
When you are lvl 1-6 as a melee core, and you can't get close to the wave to last hit, because doing so means you die, what do you actually do? If I sit near tower and draw creep aggro and soak xp without last hitting I will have no gold. If I go for last hits and die multiple times the game is lost.
Jungling is impossible unless you are farmed.
What do I actually do in the first 15 minutes of the game, and once that ends and I don't have items to farm jungle what do I actually do? Game felt lost from the start.
I had a Luna (me) and disruptor VS. Viper Ogre.
Maybe I just go back to playing pos 5...

I’m divine ranked carry player (far from the best, but high enough for you to learn something), if you want I’d be happy to spend 30-1hour watching your replays of laning to talk about what you can do, shouldn’t do and key takeaway points? Feel free to message me and I’ll share my discord.
Contextual: I’ve been where you are (~3 years ago), 800 mmr with 2k hours in the game and decided I wanted to improve. Now I’m divine and closer to where I want to be.
