I guess it's mostly a problem of communication... I pick Janna in a normal game and I assume the other players know it's best to lane her with a carry and that I'll try to let the carry farm as much as possible. "Wait, the carry went to the other lane and I'm now laning with a mage? OK...   Wait, the mage is focussing on harassing the enemies so hard he/she is forgetting about the creeps?!?   Ugh, try to use my horrible attack animation to kill the enemy creep before our creeps do..." I guess you always have to explain your (not) creep farming actions in chat. ("need [itemname], farming bot" etc.)
