Models for Strategic Planning in Dominion

[Super Buu]

In terms of pushing minion waves, I like to think of it as something you should keep in mind, and not just put to the bottom of the list of priorities, depending on your champ. If you walk past some minions, promote, and if you have an AOE or some ability good for laning, use it (assuming mana and imminent ganks are not problems). Malzahar is excellent for this because he can drop his DOT and pool, then wander off wherever. If you can take out a wave with a few seconds and a bit of mana, do it.
