Is pushing better now than freezing?

I’d say depends on matchup but yeh if a team can get a push somewhere good then I’m all for it ... I’m spamming my main lissandra abusing her new passive in bot lane getting kills and allowing our bot to push getting kills and plating gold it’s a win win :)

The goal is to increase your gold lead over the enemy as much as possible. So if you have kill pressure, bring the wave near your turret, go for a kill, and push the wave for plating and it will bounce back to you again.

If you're ahead but the enemy plays too passive to really get a kill, then youll never really take a plate anyway unless you can dive. In that case it's better to just freeze and deny gold/xp because pushing won't get you anything.
