Slow vs Fast Wave Clear
Taking creeps fast causes the wave to crash in the middle, making it harder to last hit and build your own wave. Taking them slow allows the wave to stack on your side.
[0:10]
Take Creeps as Late as Possible
To manipulate the neutral crash, you should last hit creeps as late as possible, which moves the meeting point of minion waves to your side.
[1:08]
Tower Shot Timing
Applying the same theory to tower shots: take them as late as possible to build more creeps and create a slow push.
[1:27]
Benefits of Slow Push
Manipulating the neutral crash allows you to build bigger waves, farm more safely when behind, and deny enemy farm when ahead.
[2:39]
Main Goal: Big Slow Push
The big slow push enables better recalls, dive opportunities, dragon timing, herald moves, roaming mid, and taking camps.
The key is to last hit creeps and tower shots as late as possible to manipulate wave position, enabling bigger slow pushes that create more opportunities across the map.

[00:00] if you take the creeps fast this wave
[00:03] won't make it until you killed all this
[00:07] but if you take it slow this way will
[00:09] make it all the way so here you take it
[00:10] as slow as possible see wait you see one
[00:12] third shot two take one tower shot to
[00:16] take
[00:17] and this way this wave will be here one
[00:19] target to take
[00:21] one tower shot to take
[00:24] take
[00:26] take you take it as late as possible and
[00:27] that way the neutral wave doesn't stack
[00:29] in the middle it stacks on your side you
[00:31] see what i mean
[00:32] now the neutral crash is on your side of
[00:34] the lane instead of in the middle
[00:36] and that way you can build a wave
[00:38] yourself
[00:39] if you take it fast if i took this fast
[00:42] like the second i could take it i took
[00:43] it
[00:44] this would have crashed in the middle
[00:45] and it would have been harder for me to
[00:47] not only last it but to build a wave of
[00:48] my own
[00:50] so you always want to take the crips as
[00:52] late as possible
[00:53] when you're looking for the scenario
[00:56] and people usually do this you know when
[00:58] you're laning this is very common this
[00:59] is something you see from a lot of
[01:00] players so this is not like
[01:02] out of the box stuff to last it as late
[01:05] as possible in the lane
[01:06] but i think
[01:08] uh this tower thing is something that
[01:10] people often don't do
[01:13] which is i mean it's the same theory as
[01:15] here you just want to take it as late as
[01:16] possible to build as many crypts as
[01:18] possible
[01:20] so you have this slow push here
[01:23] now i would take it fast myself because
[01:24] the crash is a little bit awkward i'll
[01:26] take this fast
[01:27] the reason why you want to do this is to
[01:29] manipulate the neutral crash
[01:32] because if you take it
[01:34] in the middle row
[01:36] like how you're normally doing it then
[01:38] you lower your chances of manipulating
[01:40] the neutral crash
[01:41] it's this is not 100 accurate sometimes
[01:44] it's
[01:45] not possible
[01:46] but in
[01:47] um
[01:48] some scenarios this will
[01:50] manipulate the neutral crash doing it
[01:52] my way make it so instead of
[01:56] both minion waves meeting in the middle
[01:58] of the lane they meet more on your side
[02:01] so
[02:02] it's
[02:02] first uh
[02:04] like the first thing that happens is it
[02:06] manipulates the neutral crash the second
[02:08] thing that happens it
[02:10] allows you to make
[02:12] bigger slopes
[02:14] could also be if you're behind
[02:16] [Music]
[02:17] allows you to farm more safely doesn't
[02:21] allow enemy to farm safely
[02:24] i guess it goes both ways because of it
[02:26] being on your side more
[02:28] if you're behind it's easier to farm
[02:30] when in a scenario maybe
[02:32] you wouldn't be able to
[02:34] and if you're ahead it wouldn't allow
[02:35] the enemy to farm because they're too
[02:37] far up on your side and you can go on
[02:38] them why i do it the big goal of doing
[02:40] it is so that i can stack more waves
[02:42] and um therefore
[02:44] give i would say more opportunities in
[02:46] the game because i think if you're just
[02:48] perma crashing like one wave at a time
[02:50] nothing is going to happen but if you
[02:52] stack slow pushes you will open yourself
[02:55] up to getting let's say a really good
[02:57] base because they have to farm a lot of
[02:59] creeps under the tower and then push the
[03:00] next wave and by that time you will be
[03:02] back to lane so yeah the main goal is
[03:05] the big slow push the big slow push can
[03:06] give you a couple of things it allows
[03:08] you to make bigger slow push lashes more
[03:10] far more safely it doesn't allow enemy
[03:11] to farm that's safely
[03:13] and what you can do with this is good
[03:15] recall dive opportunity dragon timing
[03:16] herald move mid-rome take camps
[03:19] yeah it's a lot of things you can do i
[03:20] think
[03:22] with a big slow push in comparison to
[03:24] one wave at the time crash
