Objectives in Priority Order (Feedback Welcome)

I'm sure we've all been frustrated by experiences such as when your jungler starts red while we have vision of the enemy jungler soloing dragon with low hp and ping for assistance (at least all of us who play low elo). Or there's always that guy who starts top and thinks top is his lane for the whole game, no matter how many towers fall on either side.

I tried to craft a generic list of objectives in priority order. This list assumes that the objective can be taken. The art of determining whether or not an objective can be taken, and formulating a plan to do so, is outside the scope of these guidelines, and is essentially the fun of the game.

Rather, this guide is an attempt to answer questions like, "We are confident we can take the mid inhibitor turret or we can do baron. Which one should we do?" Or "The enemy is taking our top outer turret. We can answer with the mid outer turret or with dragon. Which is the better choice?"

Without further ado!

Let me know what you think I got right, and what you think I got wrong.

Disclaimers: This guide doesn't take into account smite, as teams will need to prioritize which jungle buffs to get, which is highly situational, and therefore worthy of it's own post. It also doesn't directly account for team comps with certain champs, like and , who have a strong incentive to farm that goes beyond gold/pushing/defending. It also doesn't factor in comps that have champs with certain items, such as or , which may also change the importance of farming vs. fighting. Lastly, all of these things are interrelated, of course. Clearing minions waves and harassing enemy champs is part of defending or pushing towers, for example. But there are stages of the game where they are distinct activities, and where the player has the option to choose between them, and this guide is intended to help with those situations.
