The issue is not the advice, it's the approach in general.

It is a well known fact that to beat the shit out of people who scale too hard is to leave prominent dent in them that makes it difficult to recover. Destroying multiple turrets before they do is one way to do it. Of course there is the other way where the jungler camps him, and the mid laner is even an assassin that leads it to a three man fight--it's actually this much that is used to beat up Faker. I've seen the early game compositions and know how easy it is for them to destroy the game after a single snowball.

Champion.gg shows that both Top and Mid lane have bad early games. Also, if you look at every single counter matchup, mainly gets the gold lead late game. The only matchup I see right now that challenges gold lead in the late game is. That is the late game counter right there. Even then, with the trend of having bad early games, it only makes sense to shut the game down as soon as possible.
