- Chase-phase priority: Pre-drop earlier once zoning tool forces one-sided pathing.
Recovery Plan
- Macro anchor: Split objectives so one deny zone never controls all progress.
- Most common throw: Trying to out-loop active zoning power. Fix: rotate out earlier.
- Fallback line: If your plan breaks down, play to repeated loop attempts after zoning commitment. and refuse force bad pathing with bottles, then cash quick downs.. Reset spacing first, then rebuild objective tempo.
At-a-Glance
