3 tips to help you win your lane, eventually the game.

Alright guys, so recently i've been getting people with basicly no patience, no game knowledge, just concentrating on 1 thing - KILLS. I might not be ranked, but i rarely die in lane now, because i established some rules for me to lane BETTER. Alright here it goes -

  1. Vision! - Vision allows you to see where the enemy is located and where they're going. This is very, very important, iv'e been buying wards here and there, but now im going to buy wards every time i can. What's better, buy a 75 coin ward( 2 at best ) and stay in lane knowing that you're safe, knowing when to focus on your cs and when to focus on your trades orrrrr not buying wards and risking yourself to be killed, making you loose time and cs. Time is CRITICAL! You always want to be doing something productive, kill jungle monsters, get cs, help your team etc! See how 1 little ward can change the way your game goes? BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY.

  2. Fair trades! - Oh man this is the one i see people don't undersdtand. Ok let's see if i can explain this easy... You're Ezreal vs Ezreal, the enemy Ezreal is focusing on the cs and you just start pushing like you're rambo. All the enemy Ezreal has to do is back away while he pokes you as well, and while you're too busy thinking you're rambo poking him like there's no tomorrow, your health is suddenly 50% down, and what do you do? You back away from fear of dying... All the enemy Ezreal has to do is walk TOWARDS YOU and POKE YOU WHILE YOU RUN, eventually you end up taking waaaay more damage than him or just simply giving him a free kill. The game is not all about kills, there's other things that wins you games like COIN SHARE. You want to get as much cs as possible, while you still poke down your enemy. The correct way of fair trading is step foward - poke - back away - repeat till you know your COMBO can get you the kill or play passive, wait for your enemy to poke YOU and punish him for it ( because truely he's the one making the mistake not you ). Don't just go rambo thinking you take no damage, and just feeding completely, because that's how bot lane looses their lane most of the times. The more health you have , the longer you stay in lane, the longer you stay in lane, the more cs and items you will get. And that is how fair trades wins you lanes.

  3. Health and Mana Pots! - A lot of people think pots are a waste of money... when they're clearly not... Okay let's say you buy 3 Health pots for 105 cs. Those health pots will make you stay longer in lane, and if you practice "fair trades" you will use your pots waaaaay less often then you should. The longer you stay in lane, the more minions you can kill. If you kill 50 minions it will give you over 750+ cs. That's cs you didn't have and cs you weren't going to get without the help and sustain of those pots. Same goes with mana, i use mana more to poke down my enemy and once i know, im 100% SURE i can kill him i go all in. A combination of both pots works wonders. TRY IT.

  4. EXTRA TIP Mobility! - Im pretty sure ( I HOPE ) everyone buys boots second, and at least tries to upgrade their boots as soon as possible. Boots not only make you move faster, but it will help you out with your trading/poking and help you escape dangerous situations. Not only that, once you upgrade them it's a whole different item!!!! WITH BONUSES AND ADDED SPEED! I mean who doesn't want that as soon as possible? Your third upgrade is important too, like homeguards will save you some time, and that time adds up, and if you have more time ( you already know ), you have more time to do something productive.

I'm 100% confident everyone can agree with this tips. This game is not all about going all in on your opponent trying to get kills, well it is but you need to know how to do it properly ( NOT LIKE RAMBO ). CS, Vision, and winning trades is what wins you your lane. I mostly start dying once i start grouping up( most of the times im seen as threat and just completely focus on me ), still have a lot to learn... and I seriously can't wait to be diamond one day. MAYBE EVEN CHALLENGER. I know i can do it, it's all about being smart on how you play the game. Taking your time is important, patience is key my friends, relax, breathe, your time will come to destroy the enemy. If you just feed it makes it really hard to win group fights anymore, even someone who is doing really good in lane will have trouble beating 2 other enemy lanes that are just as fed as you. Why not everyone in the team just do great in their lane and succeed as a team, instead of one? I hope I helped anybody out there, goodluck people and don't forget to just have fun.

Same here, I've actually found myself buying brown boots after my 2nd large item because the money was exactly enough for a large purchase and 100-200 leftover for wards+pots each back.

I usually get boots 2nd or third and i rely on support to buy most of the wards

You really shouldn't. Support can have at most 4 wards on the field at once. That means maybe one in tri-bush, one by dragon, one at entrance to enemy's jungle, and one by your blue/red. Is that really the only part of the map you want warded?

Get item 3361 . It costs a paltry 250g and now everyone can ward... and it doesn't even take up an item slot!

Nice to have in mind

Vision is absolutely the most important of these. It cannot be overstated, and everyone should be doing their part. It's possible to win lanes and dominate the early-mid game, only to fizzle out because a lack of vision can make split-pushing or roaming dangerous.

Well said as to all of them though. Trades and pots are very important in laning phase, but everyone should be able to lane fine. You should not be going 0/3 in your lane EVER, unless their jungler is camping you and tower diving... in which case, your other lanes should be taking towers. Laning phase is important for getting initial CS, but every game gets past laning phase, and trades/pots become less useful late-game. Vision is always useful, from start to finish.
