Why You Keep Getting Caught In Emerald

Three ways every Emerald and Diamond game ends, and the four-step objective setup that stops all three. Most games in this bracket aren't decided in lane. They're decided after 20 minutes by a single catch — and as a support you're the player most likely to be the one caught, because the vision job puts you alone in the fog and nobody walks in with you. THE FOUR-STEP OBJECTIVE SETUP 1. Push the lanes — minions give you vision, and the waves are resources your opponents have to come and collect. 2. See them pick the waves up — if you can't see them on the wave, they have something else in mind, and that something is what you're about to facecheck. 3. Walk in as a team — so you have the numbers, or at least a good position if a fight starts. 4. Place vision — last, not first. Now you have control, and they're the ones who have to facecheck into you. Do this for every objective.
