General Laning Tips

  • 1.Place traps behind you when retreating and in choke points to control zones in teamfights.
  • 2.Use your range advantage to poke enemies from max distance and push for early tower plates.
  • 3.Net backward over walls to create distance and use the shot to finish low enemies.
