Late Radiance: where to go after losing lane
When your item is late, look for the teammate who can already start a fight. In this match, that was Legion Commander. From 03:15, the episode shows Lifestealer getting back to playing with his team. Try this in your next match: decide where you’ll go after the next creep wave. If your team is ready to fight and you can arrive in time, take a safe route toward them. If it’s too early to fight, keep farming somewhere you can quickly rotate from.
0Infest with Aghanim’s Scepter: when to go back in
At 04:00, the episode shows how Infest helps Lifestealer restore his health and rejoin the fight. The Aghanim Short also shows the cost of going back in too greedily: he dies after his next cast. Before re-entering, check whether your teammates can follow and what the enemy can use to stop you. Full health won’t save you from a bad position.
