Win conditions

Team oriented article

What is a win condition?. Let's start here, the concept seems self explanatori, right?, it's a condition that needs to happen in order to win the game, well in theory is that simple, but that condition can be often missunderstood.

Let's make it simple, if you ask someone "what is it necessary to win a game?" you'll probably get answers such as "Get fed", "Dominate the lane", "Counterpick"... If you ask more experimented players, or coaches, they might answer "Be ahead in gold", "Control objectives", "Place wards", but you and your team probably got fed and lost anyway, you probably dominated one or more lanes and lost anyway, you probably picked counterpicks and 3 wining lanes, and lost anyway, you probably been ahead in gold and objectives, and lost anyway, why does that happen?, well, you're undestanding the win conditions the wrong way.

Jungle is a lot about improvising; League of Legends is a game where the information you have is constantly changing, so you have to adapt to every situation to make the best move, however we can fix a few variables that we can use as guidelines to follow in case that the ammount of information we've got is insufficient or not precise enough to make a decission.
