how important farm is

---

Been preaching this forever. Think about it, if you're 70 farm up, you're a whole item up regardless of if you have any kills at all. 15-20 farm ahead is a whole kill. That's why I'm so adamant about pushing waves all the way to tower to deny farm if a jungler is going to tax my lane. If a jungler comes to your lane, takes your wave, but doesn't shove it all the way to tower, he basically just froze the lane for the enemy and gave them a whole wave advantage over whatever lane he taxed. On top of that, if you're playing against someone who knows what they're doing, they'll just freeze the lane there, making you vulnerable to ganks because you have to extend past river to even attempt to farm. Wave positioning, minion counting, knowing which of you is going to level up first, etc. All very minor details, but if you keep up with all of that while in game, it gives you a MASSIVE advantage.
