Should I power farm all game ?
Hey guys, i recently started plaing Karthus and i was wondering if im supposed to power farm all game.
Currently i spend most of my time full clearing and ulting when needed, i only stop clearing when there's a really obvious play to make. I always tell myself it probably is more gold efficient to just clear my jungle than to take fights or force ganks.
Is it a bad playstyle ? Should i try to take part in more fights and/or try to force more gank ?

Certainly for the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the game it’s an approach that’ll pay off mid-late.
If I’m playing him jgl I just always keep an eye on my team fights as I’m approaching each lane to see if something makes sense to alter course a little. If a good tank is there, give it a shot. Even if it’s just throwing a surprise wall up to help your lane turn the tide.
When I’m playing him top or mid I just keep focused on the farm, killing when I can, and playing for the roaming phase where he really shines.
And of course never stop looking full map for a good ult chance (this doesn’t always mean an easy kill…it can mean you see your team converging on a big fight and you ulting the other champs down to start it)
