Toplane wavemanagement questions after first few waves
Hi,
I watched Coach Chippys S16 wave control guide and have some questions left, maybe I missed someting from the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmGT1aQj1ek
I would highly appreciate feedback from GM+ players.
For long trade champs
^((Q = Question))
Q1: You want a 2 wave crash and contest third wave to keep up with level 3 but not push it and keep it even to bounce It back so you can have a wave state near your tower to run enemy down, correct?
Q2: After first bounce back in your first opportunity to run enemy down, what is the goal if it succeed or failed? If it fails you slow push into them and than just back and wait for next bounce back for next try to run them down? Is this then basically the idea for the rest of the laningphase for wavemanagement?
For Short trade champs
Q3: you want a slow push and a 3 wave crash, and kinda prevent the 4th wave from bouncing back? I got kinda confused here because you are really near the enemy tower on 4th wave, or do you let it bounce back and play safe until next slow push build up? Depending on the matchup, my guess is you use the minion advantage to fight of vs long trade champs but I would still be scared to slow push vs a darius.
Q4: What is the idea for the rest of the laningphase? Slow push -> crash -> play safe until wave crash back into your tower or even freeze and than hold freez or slow push back? On slow push back like I mentioned in Q3 I would be scared to pushing towards darius.
Weakside, counterpick or bad match
Q5: What is your job when you are against a really bad matchup, lets say you are some weakside tank. I guess you dont have the luxury to control waves, your job is just to survive and soak exp right? I dont think a Ornn can hold a 3 wave crash (if for some reason darius give prio on level 1). Or do I win regardless with minion advantage?
I am thankful for any high elo top laners who reply to this.
