I personally haven't tried it, but getting someone who can split-push like a boss would probably be very beneficial. Olaf would be an excellent pick, Xin's a decent split pusher all though he can get caught out more easily, and there's always Lee Sin, master of everything.

That way if you feel like you can't rely on your team you can roam around and take towers, giving your allies gold and denying the enemy map control.

I've often noticed that lost games start with the enemy taking 1 or 2 more towers before end-game begins.
