How to play Scaling Teamfight

Play each phase around the composition's strongest window and keep the next objective in reach.

1

Build the setup

Early game

  • Preserve health, waves, and summoners instead of chasing low-value fights.
  • Give minor objectives when contesting would break the scaling curve.
2

Create pressure

Mid game

  • Group for necessary objectives only when item spikes are available.
  • Use waveclear to stall and buy time for carries.
3

Close the game

Late game

  • Force decisive 5v5s around soul, Baron, and Elder with item advantages.
  • Keep multiple threats alive rather than sacrificing one for a small pick.
4

Control the map

Objectives

  • Contest high-value objectives with full setup and level/item breakpoints.
  • Avoid coin flips before the comp reaches its late-game payoff.

Protect the win condition

What this composition must avoid
