LANE TIPS

General lane advice, not professional player guides. Source item and ability descriptions may be in English.

1
In EXP Lane, manage the wave before rotating and pressure the opposite side when your team contests an objective.
2
As a roamer, establish vision safely, track objectives and protect your team's carries.
3
Adapt the remaining build slots to enemy damage and healing; do not buy the same items every match.
4
Before engaging, check which enemies are visible on the minimap and wait for key crowd-control abilities to be used.
