While the reverse is the perfect time to go for a damage trade.Įnemy spells that cannot pass through minions can be dodged by simply standing behind your own minion wave. Attempting a trade while your spells are on cooldowns and your opponents are not, is not recommended. Spell cooldowns must be considered by both players. Longer-range spells are easier to harass your opponent with because you do not need to get as close. The range is the same concept for auto attacks. Champion spells must also be accounted for, in regards to range, cooldown, and whether or not they pass through minions. This is most obvious in ranged versus melee matchups, but the important thing to keep in mind is the total range difference, regardless of melee or ranged.Īuto attacks are only half the battle. The greater the gap in auto attack range, the easier it is for the champion with the higher range to get in attacks.
