PSA: From Your Top Laner

Bellows··11 votes·793 views

Please, if I take teleport. Try to keep a ward on the other side of the enemy lane in a bush, BEHIND the enemy laners. Teleport ganks are very effective when wards are placed there in bot. Flanking them from that far off is better then tping to minions right next to them so they can just run away by the time i get there...

What's even better after they smart off to you is hearing "enemy double kill!" Then you ping "teleport available" haha.

Agreed. But also realize it's often suicide to place wards there since bot laners are usually squishy and will get destroyed by two champs if they try to walk past a minion wave to place the ward.

Then don't walk past the minion wave. Ward when there is no wave.

Same thing. If the top laner wants to tp in that means the enemy has the wave around your side of the lane. Without the safety of having your own minions on their side of lane you will have to move so far up the lane that both enemies will have the position and time to kill you so you'd basically be starting a fight to the death which is probably unwise. It's possible you could sneak a ward in between waves but any bot laners worth their salt will notice your advance and capitalize on it. Tanks and maybe rakan could possibly do it without taking too much damage.

The point is do it when the wave is shoved and let the wave push, THEN i can tp.

Agreed, that's a great time to do it. It can't be done on command though, it takes a little time for the wave to change position. The point I was trying to make was you can't ask for a tp ward and expect it to be ready right away. I'm not saying you do that (and you are probably making this post so you don't have to) but I have had top laners who do and get mad when the ward doesn't show up right away.

Gotcha, yah no, I just meant that I want them to be looking for a gank in the future and just need to prepare ahead of time. Ty though.
