The RIOT Act

[Kaden]

"let a wave push to the tower and I didn't pay attention for any number of reasons so holy fuck I need to suddenly respond fml".

One of the things that coordinated teams will do is trade towers. It is always worth it to give up a further out turret if it means you getting a further in one. Trade your Outer Turret for one of the enemy's Inner Turrets without even thinking twice about it. Same thing with Outer/Inhibitor.

A lot of people will drop everything and run to defend a turret and this is definitely not always the correct play. Conversely, if you're "backdooring" a turret, don't just put blinders on and ignore everything else. If your team loses two champs while you're trying to take a tower, you're going to lose a lot more than you'll gain if you take that opportunity to down a tower.
