The concluding facts were really important in this guide. In fact, here's a topic name which I'd suggest gets more focus: "If I must accept a punishment, what punish should I accept?" A lot of guides focus on how to successfully be aggressive in the game, but for those of us who naturally play defensively, such a topic could use some love.

[@douwemusic]

The biggest tip is ignoring your team's dumb pings while you try to grab any farm in any lane to catch up and hope your team doesn't throw which they always do. Good luck! EDIT: If the score is (close to) even or your team is ahead, you might be better off just grouping and trying to get numbers advantage somewhere on the map

[@jorgesotolopez204]

@@douwemusic Thanks a lott!!! So if my team is almost even to the enemy I should group them and try to catch some kill, be useful in TF I guess

[@Max88188]

Are we not gonna talk about how the sup is also very pivotal in push advantage or lvl 2 all in? Whether its relic shielding two melees on second wave or an enchanter throwing a few autos to assist the push

[@emilieanneverhaegen]

Yes well in my games when I want to slow push the mage support throws literally all their abilities on the wave 😅

[@harryhein3991]

whats the recommended counterplay when the enemy will inevitably push faster than you (and is smart enough to do it)? e.g you are vayne vs caitlyn. atm i just keep damaging minions as much as i can and keep track of exactly when they're about to hit lvl 2, and back off only at the very last second, ensuring i make both options in this video as difficult as possible - they cant all in because i backed off to safety just as they're about to hit 2, and they cant slow push because they already attacked enough minions so that the wave will definitely crash before the 3rd wave

How do they share exp to lvl up at the same time?

[@RangerxTurbo]

I don't understand when the best time to hit a minion is. I practice in bots and when they are near quarter health i hit but it doesnt do much and i lose to the minions. Do you still get cs like that or only supports get that and adc has to hit?

[@price8061]

Bold to assume my support will know what to do

[@moonage_]

How about the option of freezing? Do I do it if enemy does a cheater?

[@TheZeldaCinema]

What are the details on slow pushing the first wave? Sometimes your opponent starts hitting the minions at the same time as you

[@lilianarruda2187]

If they respond your slowpush and you stay passive it will end in a freeze for them. You then have to switch to lv 2 all in/shove

[@adrianbyg5553]

*Adc sees the video title* Also adc: int-erestering

[@iamthehopefulromantic276]

*loads game to try this tactic* *support locks in yuumi* 🙃

[@muellernikolai8630]

this il all theoretically correct but in a real game you have to also evaluate your support's psychology. If you feel that they know what they are doing you can do this, but if for example you are preparing for a lvl 2 all in but you see that your tresh is hanging all the way behind you, you might not wanna push the wave anyway as you won't be able to all in and now the enemies can just freeze it.

[@Alaaeddine_]

Use pings to inform him what ur doing ._.

[@vuluu5342]

The thing is a majority of the sp in the low elo dont know about this either. most of the times I notice an oputunity to lvl 2 all in and push those melee fast so we can get lvl 2 and engage but my support just stood their and don't follow up at all resulting in me dying in vain, lol. Not saying that I'm better, it's just hard to play as an adc in solo Q, sadge

[@phongngothai6143]

Could you guys make a video about how to track on enemy. Really helpful vid btw

[@scottgill2643]

You may be interested in their jungle lineup of videos. What I've learned from them is that the first couple clears are really played out as long as you assume that both are playing as efficiently as possible. If they're taking something inefficient, they are making an assumption that the play they're making has value which is worth the risk. Power Farming junglers will generally never sacrifice clear time for a gank, but with the recent jungle changes (affecting first scuttles), they have dead time which they need to find a use for, which is exactly why they've fallen out of the meta. Level 2 cheese junglers will gank immediately after their leashed camp (Twitch and Ezreal) because in order to get value out of their pick, they disobey the law and order of the jungle, so the counter to that is merely letting the relevant side's wave push (always including mid lane). In other words, level 2 cheesers are really strong when both mid lane and a side lane have an aggressive win condition against their team. All other junglers have a level 3 timing, which can be achieved by either using the quadrant they're already on, or (more commonly) transitioning to the other side to get their level 3. The goal in all of their cases is to get level 3 in time for the scuttle fight, or to find the opposing crab if they realize they're going to be outmatched. Right now, the level 3 crab fight is the meta specifically because level 3 junglers have the most options available to them, which means that they're the hardest to track. In my own unsubstantiated opinion, probably the best way to track the jungler is through the mid lane, by getting a ward deep enough to spy on the raptor camp. If you can spot the jungler doing raptors, you can get key intel on the intention of the jungler, whether they walk through the bush intending to go to the other side, run to the river to be ready to fight for crab (or gank for that matter), or run the other way towards Krugs. Any other option you might consider would be so wildly inefficient that it wouldn't result in a victory worth having. tl;dr, They've got some videos on this already, and tracking laners does not appear to be a valuable skill.

[@MoedyVAC]

[@tomparis1206]

I've been doing this strategy for a while but as a support, I dont always get 300 (or 350 for long sword) gold by the time we crash the 3rd wave, so even if I recall, I cannot really get an item advantage with cheater recall, is there maybe a better strategy early on?

[@LupohM8]

As support you don't go back. If your adc gets a cheater recall off you should either follow your jg OR look to gank mid. Ofc there's other options, like just getting a ward down around mid/enemy jg, but following an invade or ganking mid offer more returns.

Any 2 level 2 champs will beat any 2 level 1 champs, simply based on base stats and the ability advantage. As long as you don’t mess up, it’s a guaranteed winning trade.

[@flameofmage1099]

This is very nice to know. My wave management is terrible. But does this apply to top and mid?

[@FedeBert]

top is basically the same, mid is different cause the lane is shorter, but i saw that mid pros pull it off sometimes. I think that in mid it's just more difficult, cause you need a bigger wave to cheater recall. The liv advantage thing it's the same in all lanes and for junglers. Btw not all laners can push the first three waves, it depends on the matchup, for example against tristana it should be impossible to apply those two strategies, instead tristana can potentially always apply them, so you just need to make her push the waves to you and farm safely under tower. In competitive it's incredible how sometimes bot duo are really away from the wave in the first three waves,

I'm in Bronze. I understand these concepts, but I always seem to get supports that 1) won't help me hard push for level 2 / crash a wave despite lots of help pings, and/or 2) when I'm trying to freeze / slow push, deliberately use their mana and abilities to kill minions.

Nice guide. 1 question: how do 90% of adc's lose their lanes in first 3 mins if there is a 50% chance of u winning lane. Either it's 100% (if ur leaving out the losing enemy) or it's 50% since there's 2 bot lanes. (I know there are lanes going even so it's +- but even if u round it out to 90% (if 10% of lanes go even or hit lvlv 2 same time), don't u just leave out 90% of winning adc's in this statistic?

[@JustinRockin]

I think you're misunderstanding. They're saying 90% of adcs that lose lane (so either red or blue side) has already lost it in the first 3 mins. Imagine it like 90% of adcs lose their lane in the first 3 mins, and the other 10% lose it after the 3 min mark.

Just to chime in three weeks late as I've only just watched this video: While I got caught off-guard myself with the Tristana, I feel like the test in this case, as they should've narrated is actually to keep a very close eye on the adc once the second wave arrive. I got every other call right from the Ashe to the Sivir to the Senna. Because after messing up with hte Tristana, I saw the Ashe hitting the wave. Senna setting up her camp in Narnia because she had no support and the Sivir click back. Not sure if this helps or not but I wanted to add my two cents as someone who was in your position.
