How to play Splitpush 1-3-1

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

1

Build the setup

Early game

  • Protect side-lane scaling and avoid losing towers before rotations matter.
  • Secure enough vision to let side laners push without blind deaths.
2

Create pressure

Mid game

  • Set 1-3-1 lanes with safe mid waveclear and side threats pressuring together.
  • Punish enemies who send too few defenders to side lanes.
3

Close the game

Late game

  • Keep pressure synchronized so enemies cannot collapse for free.
  • Use teleport and flank threats to punish forced Baron starts.
4

Control the map

Objectives

  • Trade side towers for neutral objectives when grouping would be weaker.
  • Use Baron buff to make side waves impossible to answer cleanly.

Protect the win condition

What this composition must avoid

  • Grouping into stronger 5v5 comps without a side-wave advantage.
  • Pushing one side lane alone while the rest of the map is reset.
