Lane guide
Top LaneStrategy
Top is an island until teleport, dragon fights or jungle pressure drag it into the game. Wave discipline matters because long lanes punish lazy recalls.
Core Rules
- Control the long lane
Keep the wave on your side when the enemy jungler is missing. A frozen wave denies farm and makes repeat ganks far harder.
- Recall on your terms
Crash a large wave before buying. Use Teleport to preserve tempo, not to repair a recall that was already avoidable.
- Turn pressure into value
After forcing your opponent out, choose one reward: plates, a deep ward, a jungle camp, or an objective setup. Do not linger without a purpose.
