Addendum: If a lower-priority objective can be taken freely, then it should probably be taken over a more valuable but riskier objective.

50 g

bot lane inhib

mid lane inhib

top inhib

baron

dragon number 4 or more

towers

rift herald

dragon

kills

buffs

(red and blue aren't nearly as potent as they used to be, they're hardly an advantage anymore, its more important to have these on your side so that the enemy doesn't have them, but its not worth dieing for)

also its more important to understand whats "free" and thats when a carry dies, or their most valued member dies, take the most important thing you can get with a no contest over the objective.

drag is usually greater than rift herald.

drag 1 early is worth less, but drag 2345 are all broken.

2 allows easy siege, 3 is premenent movement speed, 4 makes tower diving even easier and drag5 is at least baron level worth.

herald allows huge brawl and snowball potential and lane potential, which leads to kills/towers. its much more valuable in the early game as it has much more of an immediate effect. but in the long run if you dont do anything with it drags are better.

the problem is herld requires 2 people, usually the top laner. and in games where u dont have a premade, most of the top laners don't wanna spend their time in laning phrase to help herlad.

You forgot cs above kills. And 5th drag over baron, while drags 1-4 below baron.

But freebies above anything. Free tier 2 or 1 tower, get it. Fuck the inhib tower. IF ENEMIES UP.

in the meta right now drag5 is very abnormal. game ends so soon that it's usually not enough to get 5th drag.

and cs isnt really an objective, but it is definitely greater than kills.

yeah i know 5th drag isnt as important, now in this season, but if you happen to be there to get a 5th drag, then fighting for it is still priority assuming there are no other free objectives or you are all up.

And i count cs as objective cause it is part of strat to manipulate winion waves.
