Lesson description

In this episode, Odoamne offers his take on side lane pressure, how to get it, and how to optimize it. With a well-timed wave push, you can communicate with your teammates and establish several advantages at a tier 1 objective. When performing a side lane push, a lot of people don’t have a clear idea of what they want to achieve. So instead of pushing a lane out and moving far away to another lane, they chose another lane, they opt to stay in that lane and basically waste their time. The only time you should be pushing for the tier 2 objective in the side lane is when you see the enemy team completely held up by your teammates in middle.
