- Level 2 is the first spike. With two abilities each, a well-prepared all-in kills before the enemy reacts. Agree who starts.
- Watch out for the enemy jungler. Engage duos lose two lives if they go in without vision. Place a ward before you start.
- Have a plan B. If the first control misses, what do you do? The best duos have a second option or know how to back off.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a good bot lane duo?
A support who creates a window (control, engage or protection) and a marksman who can use it right away, with power spikes that match at levels 2, 3 and 6.
Is an engage duo or a protect duo better?
Engage duos win lanes fast but demand coordination; protect duos scale better and forgive more mistakes. Choose based on how much you communicate.
Which bot lane duo is best for beginners?
Low-difficulty ones with a short combo. Check the difficulty on each guide and pick a duo with a combo of a few steps.

Bot lane duo types: engage, enchanter and poke
In bot lane almost every pair falls into one of three types: engage (go in and kill), enchanter (protect the marksman) or poke (wear down from range). Pick according to what you want to happen in the first levels.
Duo queue communication in LoL: what to say and when
Talk little and with fixed phrases: call before you go in, say which spells you're missing and repeat what each of you sees on the map. A good call is three words, not a paragraph.
How to play against a strong duo in LoL
Against a strong duo, don't accept the fight on their terms: recognize their plan at level 1, save your escape for their moment of entry and ask your jungler for help before they become unstoppable.
