Smoke Gank

Five people (or three) click Smoke, walk fog, and hit one target. A smoke that breaks on a ward is a failed execute — de-ward first.

Best for: Teams that wander the river one by one

Step-by-step

1
Buy Smoke of Deceit. Supports should have it in inventory before the 'we should smoke' complaint in chat.
2
De-ward the path you will walk. A sentry on the mid ramp is the whole plan.
3
Smoke in your jungle or behind T1, not in the river they already see.
4
Walk to one hero — usually mid or a farming carry — and use spells together. Do not split to two lanes.
5
After the kill or the force-TP, take a tower, a bounty, or Roshan. The smoke was for an objective, not a KDA.

Announce the smoke in voice. Silent smokes are how two people walk out of it.
If smoke breaks early, leave. Forcing a 3v5 in river is worse than saving the cooldown.
Do not smoke every two minutes into the same ward. Change the path.
