Prioritise health + CS over low-value early trades unless support setup is clear.

Use range windows to take farm without entering engage range unnecessarily.

Track whether your lane is actually losing: CS@10/15 and gold diff matter more than feeling pressured.

Default target: stable 6.5–7+ CS/min in ordinary games, but objective setup can correctly override a wave.

After lane, take the safest resource your team can afford you to take; do not blindly ARAM mid.

Do not side lane past safety just to protect CS/min. Threat map overrides farm target.

Before fight: name the enemy hard-engage threat.

Fight front-to-back unless a safer high-value target is clearly available.

Do not walk through threat range to hit a priority target; sustained uptime is your damage multiplier.

Catch side waves when objective timer and enemy threat locations permit.

Prefer short collection patterns: catch → clear → rotate, rather than deep extended side-laning.

If key engage threats are missing and you have no cover, stop at the safe collection line.
