Map Resource Guide

Learn how to read lanes, waves, neutral objectives, and rotation windows without getting lost in the map.

1. Start with the lane wave

The wave determines when you can move, push, or rotate safely.
Check which lane is pushing, which is collapsing, then decide whether you can leave.
If you cannot return to your job quickly, do not roam too far.

Neutral resources and objectives tell the team where to converge.
You take resources to buy space, tempo, and numbers advantage, not to tick a box.
If your team cannot follow, fix the wave before committing to the resource.

Visible enemy positions and unguarded lanes are your rotation signals.
Before rotating, check which lane loses the most if you leave.
If your hero is mobile, rotation is part of your win condition, not an afterthought.

Frontline heroes should claim space, while backline heroes should protect output angles.
Control, peel, pressure, and cleanup decide where you should show up first.
When unsure, return to the place that keeps your team functioning.

Lock down trading and wave control before zooming out to the map.

Use hero roles to understand who should move first.

Use items to decide whether you can rotate faster or hold ground better.
