Key Takeaways
- Sidelined top in 3 of 4 windows after the 20-min mark to bait enemy TP
- Only one solo kill — the rest of value came from 'force their TP, then crash mid in the next 40 seconds'
- Judge LeBlanc by 'enemy resources spent' more than by kill count
1Example Prompt
I play LeBlanc but I don't know when to sidelane. From the pro match data below, list 3 criteria for when to leave mid and go side. [Paste the LoL2LLM JSON here]
2What the AI Found
- Rule 1: Only move when mid wave is under the enemy turret
- Rule 2: Only move when there's vision the enemy jungle is bot-side
- Rule 3: Only go deep if your own TP is up
Key Insight
LeBlanc doesn't sidelane to kill. She sidelanes to force a TP — the win condition is the 40 seconds after the TP is used.
3How to Apply This
- Always push mid before going to side
- Once you bait their TP, take mid or an objective within 40 seconds
- Never enter unwarded side — no enemy jg vision = no go
Summary
- Assassin value is measured in 'enemy time wasted', not in kills
- TP timing on the ADC may matter more than LeBlanc's own TP
- Asking AI for 'movement criteria' verbalizes feel-based decisions
