The big difference between solo queue and competitive is how much respect you'll have to give the other jungler. In solo queue, you can look for more aggressive plays as long as you have vision of river or tri (depending on which side of the map you are on). You can get away with more plays as you can assume that there isn't as much communication between top/jungle. Get a lead in lane, snowball it.



If you are an aggressive player, go for plates and kills, ward aggressively.

If you are a tempo player, deny cs and freeze your wave, ward defensively, look for tp plays.

Goals

• CS lead: Farm efficiently, and deny cs when wave is at your side
• Kill lead
• turret plates
• First tower

---

After you have taken your tower (assuming you won early game), you'll want to continue your abusive lead. Sett is a champion where if he is ahead, it's impossible to 1v1 him. You want to abuse speed buffs you get from Phage and Knuckle Down, along with the slow you have from Blade of the Ruined King. You want to start pushing to the tier 2 top tower, while starting to deny camps from the enemy jungler.

Goals

• Take tier 2 top turret
• Solo Rift herald when possible
• Assist in dragon plays
• Continue the bloodbath

At this point in the game there are too many factors to determine a "best" way to play the game. This is going to come down to your sense of macro and how well you can relay that to your team. Whether you decide to split or teamfight, it's more about execution and which team has a lead.

Goals

• Win

Moving into the competitive side of things, everything you do starts to be focused around a team objective. I will talk through how I personally play Sett in competitive gameplay.

The action starts at level one. Sett has a insane level one with Haymaker. If possible you should look to stack or invade with the super powerful level one you bring to the table, the clustered level one fights allow you to NUKE the enemy team.

YOU CAN START Facebreaker IF YOU HAVE A PICK OPPORTUNITY! You don't HAVE to start W ( Haymaker), if you have an opportunity to flash + E to guarantee a pick you can take it. Any early advantage in competitive is MASSIVE. Starting Facebreaker is not terrible for Sett in lane either. It's not ideal, but it doesn't take away from your lane dominance. You're going to get Haymaker level 2 in this case anyway, so you'll have the same level 2 you always do. Your passive Pit Grit + Conqueror lets you out-trade anyone in lane (aside from something like Jax with Counter Strike, or Olaf because OP). The CC might even land you a cheese level one kill in lane!

RESPECT THEIR JUNGLER: Laning phase in competitive is a bit different in that you need to be much more weary of the enemy jungler. In competitive early top lane ganks happen MOST games. Level one vision of where the enemy jungler is starting is really important here. If you have vision of them starting bot side, you know to expect a level three gank (as of patch 10.9, this changes over time so just be aware of when junglers typically gank).

ASK FOR INFO: If you don't know where the enemy jungler is, ask your jungler. They should have a rough idea of where the enemy jungler is at. Try and get in the habit of asking for this information before you look for any all ins (if you don't already know where the enemy jungler is).

ABUSE YOUR LANE BULLY PICK: This is similar to solo queue, you picked a lane bully champion, you need to abuse it. As an example, there's no point in taking Renekton top and not taking over the lane.
