basically when u go Gwen mid youre becoming the mage of the team and you look for burst if you go top the mid that might pick mage will be the guy that should deal more dmg, then you cant go mage cause two mages will be unefficient literally two players that are squishies, and going bruiser is more safe and you will deal dmg but dont have as much carry potential as mage gwen and gwen is an hypercarry and she has a lot of potential for carrying a team she kills towers quick she deletes tanks quick and with a good W management u are in a position in wich all enemy team comp forces themselves to a high risk low reward fight

u go first strike instead of conq cause u want extra gold and when going mage u wont do enough hits to stack conq fast u will look for all ins with ur R wich is the main dmg u will do, thats why we go malignance 2nd because after malignance u can play with ur team anytime u have R wich will have short CD its cheap and gives good AP, u go rabbadon 3rd or 4th sometimes i build shadowflame 3rd when u are ahead cause it gives insane execute potential if enemy is 60% hp or 70% hit 2 Rs 1 q and hes dead since the threshold is 40% in tf anyone below 40% will likely die in 1q (max charge) gives very good ap and what u want with gwen is just raw ap u go voidstaff when ur R cant kill or if the enemy laners have good mr scaling

u should look for burst and doing insane amounts of damage and kill people in 5s why cause ur W lasts 4s and makes u immortal when used correctly ive done so many gimmicks with W that it wins fight when going behind if u go mid the top can go a tank and do damage at the same time they play in frontlane and u dont risk urself having to use W or wasting R in a non efficient momenton tfs u either play with ur team or go with ur engage on the back why on the back cause u will let ur engage start and do a surprise all in (most ppl dont really know gwens damage so its really good to play on 1st rs when u can cause 1st r does so little dmg compared to 2nd and 3rd it makes ppl believe u dont have as much dmg as they might think like they wont expect gwen to shred tanks in two rotations id not really recommend playing with the minor dmg u could deal but being lethal why cause few errors and ur dead u can get outplayed if ur w ends and its risky if u play with ur team just wait for enemy team to use skills that will insta kill u (malza r for ex) since with shadowflame u have insane execute potential if ur team does considerable dmg like someone is 50% max 70% u can look for an all in BUT DONT START ALONE u should start with someone by ur side why? if u dont kill within 4s u will be engaged and die if anyone is by ur side they will have to look for splitting damage literally they could attack with the kitting button and instead of attacking u they will attack ur teammate thats why i say this also on team fight i recomment starting doing an all in with 2 r but hitting most ppl 1st r u can use it to poke like right before starting but why i say this cause u have a window to use R wich is 1s per r basically anytime u have to use R is seconds wasted to one shot thats why u look for 2nd and 3rd cause they will do the most dmg and look for launching it to more ppl instead of 1 u can use ur E to positiong ur R for an efficient hit example the enemy team makes an horizontal line instead of a vertical one when ur close u can look for using r horizontally and then using r to aling itself with their another easier example that happens most of the time is ur gonna use it diagonally if they are engaged that is told by itself. when tfs u should look to do dmg to the player that will deal the most dmg to u when using W u can play safe against him and shred him if he dies u will win tfs 80% of the time

WHEN GOING AGAINST A LANER THAT WILL PERMA PUSH UR WAVE U CAN GO HELMET OR D BOW WHY? CAUSE U WILL FARM AND WAIT FOR DARK SEAL UNDERTOWER U WILL GET JACK STACKS AND IT WILL GIVE U LITTLE SUSTAIN WHILE LANING PREFER HELMET INSTEAD OF D BOW FOR PASSIVE EARLY SINCE U GO GLOTONOUS AFTER 1ST ITEM AND BOOTS U CAN GET 10 STACKS EASILY FOR FREE WHILE GOING NORMAL BUILD

anyways i dont know what else to say i put it all here but if anyone sees this, this is compiled about few gwen otps (chall) im not chall but their gwen thoughts really apply ive been playing gwen mid cause when going mid u are the mage instead of someone else picking a mage and u going gwen top when in top u look for a more survival build in wich u have potential to carry but not as good as gwen mid also gwen mid is more fun and u enjoy laning more then laning on top where 90% of matchups any error is delaying ur powerspike and a further carry
