Wave Controls That Decide Victory

In League of Legends, the biggest metric determining skill is not 'combat ability' but 'lane management ability.' Beyond simply last-hitting minions, the skill of pinning them to your desired location and pressuring opponents is an essential gateway to reaching higher tiers, such as Diamond or above.

1-1. Freezing: A technique that starves the opponent to death.
Freezing is a technique that finely controls the number of minions near our turret to keep the lane locked down and prevent it from moving towards the center.

Success Condition: There must be 3 to 4 more enemy minions than our minions. The key is to wait just outside our turret's range, taking the enemy minions' attacks with your body for a moment until our minions arrive.

Expected Effect: The opposing laner is forced to venture deep into our territory to farm minions. This moves them further away from the enemy jungler's ganking routes while simultaneously providing our jungler with the best ganking angle. Freezing is practically a death sentence, especially when the opponent is a champion lacking sustain or escape abilities.

1-2. Slow Push: Basis for Dives and Objectives
Slow push is a strategy where you slowly build up your minions and push them all at once toward the enemy turret.

Method: Focus on eliminating the enemy's ranged minions and only last-hit the melee minions. By doing this, the next wave and the wave after that will combine to form a 'Big Wave'.

Usage: When a massive wave of minions crashes into a turret, the opponent is busy farming them. At this moment, you can attempt a **'dive'** with your jungler, or lock the enemy laner in the tower and join the **'Dragon/Herald fight'** first to gain a numerical advantage. If the opponent chooses to join, they will suffer a massive loss as they must forfeit at least 2 to 3 waves of experience and gold.

1-3. Hard Push and Reset
It is to push the lane as quickly as possible without sparing any skills.

Timing: Use this when you have sent the opponent back to base, or when you need to recall to buy items. You must push the lane all the way to the enemy turret for the minions to die from the turret hits, causing the lane to restart (reset) in the center. If you push carelessly and recall, the lane will freeze instead, leading to significant difficulties upon returning. LoL Toto
