Hey guys,

I made a YouTube video about the importance of winning trades, what effects can happen from it, and how it can benefit you and your team. I know many of you probably already understand this concept but many of my friends don't and I imagine many other players, especially new ones, don't either. So here's a video explaining how winning trades can win you your lane. If you have any feedback for my video or have any other tips for me or for other players please leave them below, I'd love to hear your strategies!

Not always, if they opponent has more sustain than you, winning trades won't do a lot. Or you can win trades and still die to a jungle gank. There are ways to win lane without winning trades.

What if you're up against a champ like Teemo, who doesn't really need to use a skill to get CS? When is the ideal time to go in for a trade?

EDIT: Like, I understand going in once he AAs due to AA wind-up, but there's distance to consider (not every champ is Riven and can close distance easily). How do you prevent someone going in from a successful trade like that? If I just AA'd something, what can I do to prevent the opponent from trying for a trade, assuming I cannot punish them for it sufficiently?

One small thing I picked up there.

If you'd used control+W to level W in the second trade you'd have done far more damage to the Rengar.
