      well the combination of roaming/ganking, and pushing is fun was all I mean. I know what you mean, sometimes it's more fun to waltz around the map setting up fun ganks and ignore the farm.....but at least if you're efficient at it, you get relatively decent farm and completely decimate their chance of keeping up xp and gold per minute so it's not to waste.
