vs HLE / Zeka (Sylas)
Key Takeaways
- Used soldiers to slow-push twice in the first 6 minutes, stealing two jungle camps to build an XP lead
- Set up with his jungler at 14:00 Rift Herald, denied the enemy roam, and converted into a 4-man dive
- Won via map-wide pressure (sidelaning + cutoff timing), not solo kills

You are a League of Legends mid-lane coach. Below is match data from a pro Azir game I like. List 5 concrete actions this player takes to gain lane priority, explained simply enough for a beginner. [Paste the LoL2LLM JSON here]
2What the AI Found
- 0–3 min: Soldiers held near the wave, last-hit priority, no forced CS racing
- 3–6 min: Builds a slow push and hits level 6 before the opponent
- 6–9 min: Skips roams in favor of side-pushing and stealing jungle camps
- 9–14 min: At Herald, places W first to enter safely with the jungler
- 14+ min: Side-wave management above all — wary of ungeated solo catches
Key Insight
It's tempting to equate priority with solo kills, but Faker creates priority with 0 kills here. Wave + jungle management is 90% of it.
3How to Apply This
Just these three things in your next solo queue match:
- Make 'don't die before first recall' your top priority (over roaming)
- Check at 6, 14, and 20 min whether your lane is being pushed in
- When sidelaning, stay within TP/ult range of mid
Summary
- Priority comes from leads that don't show up on the scoreboard
- Order of thinking: wave management → jungle interaction → objectives
- AI surfaces the moments you weren't paying attention to
