LANE TIPS

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

1
In mid, clear the wave before rotating; follow your jungler without losing lane experience.
2
Adapt the remaining build slots to enemy damage and healing; do not buy the same items every match.
3
Before engaging, check which enemies are visible on the minimap and wait for key crowd-control abilities to be used.
