SF is a bitch, screw up a bit the first 2 waves, and then you're done mid is lost :-/

People actually over-state how bad "losing" the first few waves is. Honestly if you get to level 5 + Bottle without being behind on levels, it's basically impossible to stop you from farming.

The main thing is 1) you have to get your Bottle, 2) you have to not die. If you have Bottle and levels you can just clear with Raze and catch up fast taking some jungle, but if you fall even a level behind from dying, getting ganked, or even having to go home, you can get solo killed by basically any mid with a level advantage (particularly at a level 6 or 7 timing). Alternatively if you get caught in a position where you can't quite get the gold for your Bottle, you're stuck as well because without Bottle you have to go home which goes back to the first part about being behind on levels.

The distinction here is important because it means that being too greedy for those first few waves can net you a loss. Starting with 2 Slippers or skimping on regen at level 1 for slightly more damage often will be a net loss if the enemy abuses the gank/solo kill opportunities that you skipping on early all stats or regen creates.

Thats actually completely true. Early SF laning is mostly about surviving and squeaking out the souls you can

Then you just outfarm them.
don't tell me to provide a legend for those charts cause we already got shaella in this thread - eieio | Bulba is my waifu

isn't today the maintenance day? well for AUS server it's down the whole day today.

also. 100cs at 10minutes, is that even possible without neutrals?


IIRC 78 is perfect lane cs @ 10m


Maybe he is counting all cs. lh and deny. Only thing I can think of.

doing that tripled the cs i was able to get by 10 mins, its definitely worth doing to start off learning to last hit

why dont u just do that with 60 (about what you normally have) dmg instead of 40 will stop u from lasthitting too early aswell but wont make u lasthit too late ???

like icefrog's balance it was easiest to go too far then reel it back.

Think 10 to 1 that early is perfect? Don't remember the math, but pre-15 min mark, 7:1 in lane is like 90+% of all available farm if I am remembering my old mathcraft right. Which is to say probably not.

A perfect lane is like 80 CS, this means that somewhere in that time you managed to find 20 neutrals as well.

difference is theres literally no reason to go to far when you can go exactly right

You may not necessarily include the 9:30 wave when counting "perfect" CS though, because unless the particular scenario calls for you to insta-clear it, it won't necessarily be dead at the 10 minute mark.

sure, it's mostly for a benchmark

though i'd personally consider it fair game, since it's right before a rune spawn

I find it unsettling having my game being patched without knowing exactly what has changed. Anyone know what the most recent 36.4mb patch did?
