Aimlabs Challenge

In your next ranked session, focus on identifying roam timings when it’s safe to leave your bot duo and pushing your limits to impact the rest of the map. Remember; a good roam doesn’t always need to result in a kill - you can also set other goals for yourself like clearing enemy vision, manipulating a minion wave, or grouping with your jungler.
