Attack vulnerable lanes before defensive items come online.

Force fights from flanks instead of walking straight through tanks.

Trade resources for the highest-value damage threat.

Push lane advantages into invades, dives, plates, and first objectives.

Convert gold leads into towers before the enemy reaches scaling items.

Avoid slow equal fights if the comp has been outscaled.

Use pushing lanes to unlock support and jungle movement.

Deny vision, hold control wards, and threaten catches before objectives.

Avoid fair 5v5s unless a key target is already chunked or caught.
