Expectations of Laning Phase and More League News

Top: Before you even get to top lane, you must first come up with a strategy of how you are going to play the laning phase. Usually I wait for more minions to come, and then I wait for the right opportunity to fight him so he gets minion agro. If there are enough minions there, it’s almost like having another champion in lane, fighting with me. The number one thing that the rest of the team will expect of you is to not fed (give the enemy top laner lots of kills). Your laning phase usually doesn’t end until you take down their top turret or they take down yours.

Jungle: The jungler has four major things that are expected of them. The first thing is to gank the lanes to give your teammates an advantage. The second is to control the buffs. If you manage to get ahead of the enemy jungle, it isn’t hard to harass him in his own jungle to keep him from catching back up to you. The third is to ward late game. Since the jungle doesn’t provide as much EXP as the lanes, you will eventually fall behind. Once this happens late game will be coming around and the support will need to buy items since they have been doing all the warding early and mid-game. The fourth major thing is to keep an eye on Baron. The jungler carries a summoner spell that allows himself to just click a minion or monster and do true damage. At level 18, the final level, the true damage will be 1000 damage. If the enemy team is organized and is ready to attempt baron they will be looking for an opportunity where they will have the upper hand. If you are ot paying attention then the enemy will get baron easily because you have 1000 damage with one click. If you aren’t there then your team has a slim chance of killing Baron.

Mid: Your job is simple. Don’t let the enemy mid laner get fed. The only other major expectation is to watch out for ganks.

Support: The support has a huge job. That is to do most of the warding. If the jungle isn’t kept warded then it will be easy for the enemy team to gank or set up an ambush. The other major role is to protect the ADC. The ADC usually lacks getaway abilities. That leaves them susceptible to enemy ganks.


ADC: The job of the ADC sounds easy but is actually quite hard. They are to get fed and keep the enemy ADC from getting strong. To win team fights, it is essential to have a strong ADC. If the ADC does not do well then the team will lack a huge asset.

 News of the Week:

Season 4 is ending this coming week. That has made the past couple weeks of ranked games somewhat annoying. There have been two types of people in ranked these past weeks. People are either trying extremely hard to move up in ranked so they get better prizes at the end of season 3. The other people just don’t care how they do since the season is ending anyway. This makes it annoying because the people who are trying super hard rage when they are losing.



Thanks for reading and have a good night!
