Build the first isolation window

0:00–8:00, including the first clear, first reset, the 2:55 Scuttler window, and the 8:00 Voidgrub decision

Your early goal is a level and camp lead that creates a real first-kill window, not a forced gank count. Use a full clear when lanes lack setup or the enemy can contest the first river window; choose a three-camp path only when a lane is overextended, the target lacks an escape tool, and your damage can finish the play. After the first route, reset around camp respawns and the next objective. If ahead, invade only with lane priority; if behind, mirror away from pressure and farm.

Path

Path for isolation windows, not random ganks

If your champion can clear efficiently and your lanes lack reliable setup before level 3, then use a conditioned full-clear route toward the side of your strongest future play. If a lane is pushed past the river with its escape tool unavailable, divert from the route for a level-3 gank; otherwise preserve camps and reach the next decision with health, mana, and tempo instead of forcing a low-probability fight.

With Kha'Zix

• If Kha'Zix is on your team, create space for his second-wave entry rather than demanding that he start the fight. Hold hard control for the enemy's peel or first engage, and move with him when he enters fog so his pick has a safe conversion path.
• If you have lane priority near the next objective, push the wave before Kha'Zix enters the river and help sweep the approach. His value rises when the enemy must choose between checking darkness alone and conceding space; it falls when he is forced to face-check first.
• If Kha'Zix marks a separated target and begins the attack, follow only when you can arrive during the target's escape window. If the target is grouped or the enemy counter-engage is already positioned, protect Kha'Zix's exit and take the objective or wave after the enemy spends resources.
• If Kha'Zix is ahead, let him own the threatening side of the map while the rest of the team creates a visible, safe pressure point. If he is behind, give him uncontested camps and defend the area around the next objective; a farmed assassin can still punish the first isolated rotation.
