"Winning is a byproduct of the things that you do before that. Focus on doing the things that enable you to win, not wins themselves." paraphrase of Danyon Toiga

Case in point - If the enemy is sieging your mid base turret and your Mid laner has to go back to the fountain to heal up from being poked down and your Support is trying to set up a Banner of Command minion in Top lane then you can't engage even if your ADC gets caught. You conceed the tower and inhibitor and wait for your ADC to respawn.

I particularly like the point about hey you only have 3 ranged minions which will only allow... Read More

-Use Tab More
-Look at lanes more
-Remember to cycle your camps
-Trust your gut

Setup I've used in at least four games to good effect.




Trying out Bone Plating and Conditioning.

Game time is a pretty good comparison. Aftershock damage comparison is not as my team was on somewhat different pages in the Bottom game so we didn't really group until the end.
