CS has a newfound importance with me.

Recently I had a game where my lane opponent had around 700 ms (which I only fully realized two kills in), so we made an agreement that he and I would just farm without touching each other and our jungles would agree to not gank. Essentially free farm.

Now, I consider myself pretty good with farming (100 cs by around 12-13 minutes), but there are two major things I realized from this game.

1. Holy shit you can have a lot of cs. I always thought that the perfect ideal cs was around the first three digits of the in game time (ie 180 cs at 18:00 minutes) but goddam you can have even more than that. At 20 mins I had around 230 cs.

2. The item/level advantage to the rest of the players was stupid. I realized that cs is extremely important when matching up "power" between players in game but this was almost a 2 level and 1 full item advantage on even the moderately fed enemies. After I had farmed in the lane I started to roam, immediately went mid and got a double. Closed out the game and got an S.

Farm is important.
