User blog comment:Texas Snyper/Elo Hell and You: Part 2 - Skills That Pay the Bills/@comment-3337222-20110907184414

I imagine a good strategy for people with actual bad luck (besides playing carries) would be to play a champ that's good at babysitting allies in bad situations. Alistar, Nasus, Soraka, Singed, Blitzcrank, Cho'Gath, Shen, Janna, Taric, and Orianna seem the best at this to me. If played right, they can heavily disrupt an enemy team and deny them quite a few champion kills. The problem is learning to play them in this way without them dying too much instead, and without being worthless when its time to be on the offense. If you're truly skilled, though, you should be able to do it I'd say. I call this role "Crisis Management."

The better/safer farmers will allow you to be more consistent and better afford Sight Wards for your team, but that's the case with any role.
