League of Legends: Play the Objective Clock
League of Legends dragons and barons are timers. Random teamfights 40 seconds early lose the setup.
Crash a wave first
If a sidelane wave is dying to their tower, you are late to dragon. League of Legends objectives need a wave state, not a feeling.
Jungler should ping the spawn, not start it in fog. Supports ward the pit, not the pixel they already know is safe.
Baron is a setup, not a sneak every time
If they have smite and vision, you are starting a 50/50. Force a fight first or take a tower. Coin-flip barons throw games.
After a pick, you have a window. Use it. Recalling for a component while Baron is up is how leads vanish.
Elder and soul change the map
Play for the soul point if the game is even. Random mid fights that ignore the soul timer are ranked grief.
If you are behind, you still get a soul if you show up. Being bot while dragon spawns is a choice.
Players who want extra context after this guide can also use additional information.
