You're supposed to roam around the map, I find for the first 15 minutes or more of a game I can consistently pick up enough Chimes that I only ever have 4 or less at any given time, and if the number gets that high I'm usually on my way to go get one or two. Afterwards, any drawn out fights can leave me not paying attention to Chimes for there to be 10 or more out by the time I go to get them, but I usually am able to keep it well under that amount for the majority of the game.

If you're bot and you see a Chime spawn close to mid or even top, take that as an opportunity to gank one of those lanes. In one of my recent games, I saw 3 Chimes in a row spawn top. It was annoying to get them, but in the end going top netted my top laner and I an early 5 for 0 over the course of a few minutes. Now this is obviously quite a rare case that probably will never happen to me again, but most of my early roams are successful even if we don't get a kill (or five). If you see more than one Chime in an area on your side of the map, go get it and gank the nearest lane while you're at it. It won't seem like as much of a chore if you get into that habit.
