This tip can actually bring you tons of advantages in the laning phase, which regularly means the whole match.
Recently, a short video cut from TES.Knight’s stream has attracted a lot of attention from the community. In that video, Knight used Leblanc versus Galio in mid-lane. The reason for its popularity is that Knight continuously harassed Galio with autos in the first minutes but did not receive any attacks from the enemy minions! So, how did he do such a strange thing like that? Let’s analyze the following video.
Before talking about the tip, you have to understand the attacking mechanism of the minions. A minion’s attack includes two progress: figuring out the risk (who attacking its ally) and attacking. We call the former “step 1” and the latter “step 2”. Minions will always prioritize completing step 2 before doing step 1. So, if you attack the enemy champion right in that really short period of time, you will completely not draw their aggro.
The next thing you have to remember when using this tip is that melee minions do their step 2 a lot faster than the caster ones. As a result, they will launch step 1 also quicker, which makes this tip unavailable as their “busy” time is too short. To conclude, to enable this tip, you have to stay 500 units of distance away from them. (usually behind caster minions).
About the casters, as we have mentioned above, they spend a relatively long period of time doing step 2, so that you don’t have to stay away from them. All you have to do is using their long “busy” time to harass your enemy. At that time, although they have aggro on you, they still have not completed step 2. However, when step 2 is done, you are on the “cooldown” of your autos, so you are not their target anymore. Just repeat this progress and the match will belong to you. The biggest problem with this tip is its enormously high difficulty, which requires a lot of time to practice.
