there are two ways you can maximize your farming.

1.) q'ing into and out of a group of creep. then using your e to clear the wave. (this pushes the lane)

2.) waiting for the creep's to get around 50-100 hp and last hit them.

your style of play all depends on who you're facing if you're facing against, and what type of game you're playing.

. tanks

when dealing with a tank depending on the type of tank it is (such as darius, garen, etc...) you want to play passively until your jungler comes to help you get the kill. as long as you don't feed the tank he/she can't cause any problems.

---

. apc

when dealing with any apc it all comes down to both their, and your skill level (aka. make trades that are uneven in your favor. zone them out, get quick kills, or having the jungler help you get a kill.) once you've hit level 6 you just have to use VI's combo of q+ignite+2e+r+e (Vault Breaker+ ignite + two Excessive Force + Assault and Battery + another Excessive Force) just like the tank as long as you don't feed the apc you just have to combo them, or have the jungler help feed you.

during off-laning your job is to:

1.) initiate all team fights if possible by ulting either the adc, or whoever is carrying the team and using your combo and any spell or item's that you can.

(don't do this if your not tanky (if you're not tanky farm, and defend))

2.) catch anyone out of position, or alone

3.) defend the adc

always rush your black cleaver, then get ninja tabi, afterward get phantom dancer and/or frozen mallet

---

(depending on your situation; meaning go phantom dancer if you need to do more damage, get frozen mallet if you need to be more tanky (you will always get both))

---

after you get both fm,pd get some form of life-steal

---

(your life steal should be focus around who you're laning against;
if your laning against a tank get "blade of the ruined king" << you do this due to its 4% current health (also your Denting Blows will contribute to the dph). if your laning against someone more squishy or less tanky then get either "blood thirster" or "saguine blade" (you buy the one that you can depending on the type of game your playing in (aka- 5's, 3's, or dominion).)

next and last item is zephyr this is the last item because it gives tenacity with bonus speed to attack, movement, and cooldown reduction.
