-Always have 100~ cs by 15 minutes. (65 for Jungle) -Always have more than 50% kill participation. -Keep your KDA above 2.5, or at least keep deaths below 6.

Anything else I should put on this checklist?

  • Regularly look at the minimap, like every 5 seconds.
  • Only ward when you don't know where the enemy Jungler is. Try to anticipate his jungle route (If he start bot, he will try to gank top when he has finished to farm, the inverse if he start top). Also, be cautious, he can do a long jungle route or an fast one (the junler ganker will often do the fast route to gank you level 3 when you are level 2).
  • If you play with TP, ask your other lanes to deep ward to try to TP if needed.

And surely a lots of other things.

if you do a quick look at either top lane or bot and they have lower mana that means they helped jungler or if they arrive a lil later

Thanks for the list. I have been looking for something like this for a while. Any suggestions for someone who changes lanes a lot? Unless my friends are playing with me i pretty much roll with whatever is needed in that particular game.

depends on your rank.. but some things to remember

-Ward dragon early if support doesn't do their job (get the fucking sightstone support!) you don't have to keep warding it, just don't let them get a free early dragon especially if they have sustain champs like Warwick Nunu Fiddlesticks like seriously it used to be possible to do it at level one, take it seriously

-Learn how to plan your base trips. Some people think its okay to stay in lane with annie just because they are still at 100% hp and 100% mana at level 3-4 on champs that can't deal with her level 6 without items, same goes for leblanc or some others. Don't wait for more developments to go finally get the items you need only to find yourself left with 200-300 gold you aren't going to spend because you got defense instead of the offensive stuff you wanted after getting bitchslapped a little too hard.

-Relearn warding.. consider new warding strategies, it doesn't matter how good you think you are, this is the sort of thing you should be revisiting in anygame where information wars are a thing.

-Learn to take care of your computer and what can affect your ping. If you are on a laptop and you feel it getting warm, wait till your champ is somewhere safe and unplug if your laptop doesn't always disconnect for example. There's also optimization options and such.

-If you are not in high ELO then learn to identify which players to ignore or not follow fast enough that you can signal them to let them know that you are not going to follow up.

-study itemization. For example, if you have a 50% crit chance and you shoot someone 2 times without getting a crit what are the odds of getting a crit on your next hit? Whatever it is, the answer is not 50%!!! RNG isn't actually random in this game. Additionally theres other things like the penetration meta and all that to worry about. Some people build item 3191 then upgrade to item 3157 because they need more armor like they can't do math.

-check champion statistics! For example, a lot of people are always crying about vaynes true damage or fioras true damage but while its already hard to build against true damage vayne's overall true damage tends to come out to about 22% of her total damage meaning its not as stupid as you think to build defense against her, its just roughly 22% less efficient against her specifically

-ask specific questions. When you have questions mention your champ and the specific matchup, there is a lot of "situational" in this game

-Champion pick is very important. Take in great consideration things like: which champ is currently strong and which is off meta. Do you counter, or get countered by your match up. How good are you with a champ, even if its strong in general, doesnt mean you can succeed him within the 3rd game. Avoid champs which can fail and get punished hard for it(aka skillshot champs), stick to more friendly gameplay ones. A good pick can contribute a great deal to positive game outcome.

-When in lane, if you are behind by 1 or 2 kills, just farm, don't look for more kills -As said by Bjergson, "When you are ahead, get defense; When you are behind, get offense." -Make sure to ward the bushes junglers like to come out of -As said by Bjergson, "If an enemy is low, do not dive turret if they can evade, or if there is no vision of enemy jungler" -Use UNLOCKED camera mode, if you don't already, play 1 or 2 games with it, and you will get used to it, the natural motion of moving your mouse to move the camera will feel normal, and it grants you extra vision in fights and for long abilities, for example ryze ultimate.

Personally, I like a small champion pool with only the champions I play, because if you have this huge champion pool, you can't think straight and look at which champion you want to play, and soon you won't be playing most of your champions at all.

The last 2 aren't really a must achieve things, many champions prefer to split-push/be solo, applying pressure in lane and forcing the enemy jungler to camp them.
