Offlane Wave Cut
Catch the wave behind their safelane tower so their carry has nothing to hit. Do this when you will not die to their 4 and 5.
Best for: Position 3s who are losing CS and feeding anyway
Step-by-step
- 1
Push one wave into the tower so you have space, or leave lane when the wave is crashing anyway.
- 2
Walk behind their T1 and take the next wave. Do not walk the same path every time.
- 3
If their supports show on you, stop. A cut that is a 0–2 is not a cut.
- 4
After you cut, you can pull their camp or rotate to a bounty. Do not stand behind the tower forever.
- 5
Tell the 4 where you are. A 3 cutting and a 4 diving the carry at the same time is a 2v4 in two places.
Tips
- Heroes with a nuke or a tanky body cut better. A squishy 3 cutting into Lion + CM is feeding.
- The goal is to starve their 1, not to get last-hits equal to a carry.
- If their T1 is already down, cutting is often just walking into their jungle. Ward first.
