Information wins games

The minimap tells you where enemies were seen, which lanes are pushing, and where your team can safely play.

Build a repeatable habit

Glance at the minimap after each last hit or spell cast when it is safe to do so. Notice missing enemy heroes before moving beyond the river.

Ask three questions

  • Which enemies are visible?

  • Which objective can my team realistically take?

  • Where can I retreat if enemies arrive?

Practice

Review one death from your next match. Pause ten seconds before it and look for information you could have used.
