Adapt the plan
What to do when the game changes
Judge the whole lane or map state, not only personal kills. Choose the situation closest to the current game.
Ahead plan
Control the side lane without donating the lead
Lane
Hold a favourable wave, pressure the enemy away from farm and keep enough vision to survive the second opponent.
Map play
Push before moving to an objective; arrive through a known route rather than giving up the wave and your shutdown.
Fights
Use the lead to occupy space for the team. Do not chase through the entire enemy formation for one target.
Even plan
Trade around the wave and your strongest cooldowns
Lane
Keep health and minions balanced so one poor trade does not decide the lane.
Map play
Move after the wave is handled and communicate if the opposing Top laner leaves first.
Fights
Choose between front-line duty, side pressure and carry access according to the champion kit.
Behind plan
Protect experience and stop the lane from accelerating
Lane
Farm near safety, avoid repeating the losing trade and ask for help only when the wave creates a realistic window.
Map play
Do not follow a stronger opponent through unseen river. Signal the move and recover guaranteed resources.
Fights
Contribute control or pressure to the nearest safe target instead of trying to repair the score alone.
Pings, movement and objectives
Quinn Top map plan
Manage the long lane before leaving it. A useful move begins with a handled wave, a visible route and a teammate who knows you are coming.
Use the side-lane lead without donating it
- Ping
- Ping Enemy Missing when the opposing Top leaves, then On My Way before a flank or objective move.
- Stay or move
- Push the wave before moving. Stay if leaving would hand several minions or your tower back to the opponent.
- Objective
- Arrive through a known route and mark whether you are front-lining, flanking or protecting a carry. Do not enter alone before the team can follow.
Make the wave create the first move
- Ping
- Use Enemy Missing early, Danger on the route they may take, and On My Way only after your own wave is handled.
- Stay or move
- Move after pushing or on a shared recall. Do not follow through unwarded river merely because the opponent left first.
- Objective
- Tell the team whether you can move before the objective starts. Approach with vision and save the cooldown needed for the first real commitment.
Protect experience and communicate the pressure
- Ping
- Ping Enemy Missing immediately and Retreat if teammates are about to meet the stronger Top laner without you.
- Stay or move
- Do not match a stronger opponent through darkness. Clear the safe wave, then group by the shortest controlled route.
- Objective
- State early if you cannot contest. If the team still fights, provide control or protection instead of attempting an isolated flank.
Objective setup
Four calls, in order
Pings create a shared plan; they do not replace checking waves, vision and who can move.
- 1Handle the wave
Push, catch or communicate the wave before leaving so the opponent does not gain a free move and free income.
- 2Signal the route
Use On My Way for the route you are actually taking and Danger where an unseen opponent may arrive.
- 3Enter together
Move through controlled vision with the Jungler or another ally instead of face-checking the objective alone.
- 4Choose the job
Decide whether you are engaging, front-lining, flanking or protecting a carry before the fight begins.
Later objectives: Repeat the same process around later major objectives: handle nearby income, communicate the route, enter through vision and agree on the fight before committing.
