Stop perma full clearing if you want to win games
Video below explaining it but i am providing a transcript for anyone that doesnt speak english to translate or maybe that are deaf
You are losing games by full clearing now. What I mean by this isn't that full clearing is inherently bad. What I mean is that lot of people get stuck thinking they just have to full clear the problem is once you get your first item, a lot of the time it's actually best to just not full clear. Because when you get your first item and especially when you're ahead, you should be looking to do things actively on the map. Because if you just full clear, you're giving the enemy essentially, breathing space. And if they're behind, they shouldn't have breathing space. If you're just full clearing and they're full clearing, you're giving They equal gold, which you never want to do when you're ahead, because any they get is going to be worth more than any gold you get, because of percentages.
so whenever you're strong like this, you want to look for ways you can impact the map instead of full clearing. Especially since, in this scenario here, I can see my entire top side is warded. So even if I do get invaded and lose my camps, I at least know it's getting invaded. and I can account for that and do something else here. So, my bot lane just came out of base, fresh items, so they're also strong. So they're also looking to fight. Here I need to wait for them to push one more way before dragon. So I'm just going to take my red buff, and then we're going to look to do the dragon. And the reason this is so important is because we're both spiking. We just came from base.
And the enemy has a very strong dragon fight. They have Lissandra, Rengar, and Ash Seraphine, which means Ash Seraphine should almost always have prio. So, if we don't take Dragon with this one timer, Ash Seraphine will always have prio, and then they have a strong 2v2 with the Slander Vengar. So, we have this one time to take it. If I was just to go full clear, my bot would never have prio ever again. This is our one window, and we're able to take the Dragon where my bot lane has prio. So instead of full clearing, I just go straight to the Dragon. And if there is a fight, I'm strong here because I'm on Item Spike, and so is my bot lane. So it's actually a decent fight.
And then I can fast forward. So then Rengar ends up ganking my bot lane. I kill him. And then I'm recalling again because I have a decent buy here of 1500 gold. And it's going to be the same thing essentially here. I'm not just going to full clear. There's no reason to just full clear, right? I'm very strong. I have full item. I just bought 1500 gold worth of items. And top's kind of overextending here. So I'm just going to sprint straight top. And we don't end up killing, but we do get his ult and his flash. That's pretty worth. Could have honestly killed him if I Thresh missed his hook. It's a bit unlucky. But the point is. The point is to just not folklore.
and I still get my camps guaranteed, and the most Rengar could take is just my raptors. I know he can't take my top side because I'm top side right. So the most I can lose is my raptors. And it's always worth it to just go for the kill top. If I lose my raptors now, it's earlier in the game, and it's a lot harder to break your full clear because you do get punished more. Because one, it's harder to kill people because have less items, less damage, less cooldown stuff like that. It's harder to farm it takes longer. So more camps, you're more your camps are sitting the longer it's going to take for you to clear them. And then, if you do lose camps early game, it snowballs way harder.
So I'd say once you get your upgraded Smite, like your Rainbow Smite, like your first upgraded Smite, that's when it's a little bit easier to skip camps. You basically don't really want to break your full clear aside from that. But once you get your first item, for sure, you want to be skipping camps to look for proactive plays. You don't have to go for plays just to go for plays, but you should be looking for that. So I hope that was pretty helpful. Any questions, you can just always DM me or comment below and I'll try to get back to you.
