How to Macro Like Immortal Players

Summary

Key Points

• Effective map awareness involves understanding your role and checking for enemy movements, such as missing heroes, to play safely or set up ganks. 1:07
• The map can be divided into strong and weak sides, with aggressive plays encouraged on the strong side where teammates are present and safe plays on the weak side. 2:05
• Rotations should prioritize helping a winning lane to snowball or assisting based on objective spawns like the turtle, rather than solely focusing on a losing lane. 3:05
• Communication is vital for successful macro play, informing teammates about enemy skill usage or cooldowns to coordinate engages and avoid unfavorable fights. 3:41
• Mid lane outer and inner turrets are the most valuable for map control, while side lane inhibitor turrets are important for creating super minion pressure. 4:19
• Prioritize securing kills and plating over farming minions or destroying turrets, especially early in the game, as these provide more immediate gold and map control. 5:59
• Team fight strategies include 'pick off' for isolated targets, 'grouping' for 5v5 engagements, and 'split push' to pressure lanes individually, each suited for different game states. 8:30
• Lane pushing involves 'hard push' to quickly clear waves and 'slow push' to build up minion advantage, both crucial for creating pressure and opportunities. 9:16
• Effective turret pushing before the 18th minute involves a 'three-lane push' strategy, while after the Lord evolves, a 'straight push' with the team escorting the Lord is recommended. 9:30
• Sometimes, the best macro decision is to concede an objective, like the turtle, to avoid unnecessary risks and potential losses that could jeopardize the overall game advantage. 9:45
