INTRODUCTION

Hey everyone! This guide is part of this video https://youtu.be/E_SceEYMll8 , so I recommend watching that first before diving into the guide.

In this guide, I'll cover the key units you need to understand for positioning,both how to place them and how to play against them. It includes early-game units (1, 2, and 3-cost) as well as late-game units (4 and 5-cost). LETS GET STARTED !!

Units that deal damge to adjacent ennemies

Vex

Darius

Renata Glasc

Urgot

Ezreal

Nocturne

In the early game, make sure your frontline units are not placed next to each other to avoid taking extra damage from th ease units. The same principle applies when you're using one of these units,position them in a way that allows them to hit as many enemies as possible.

Here's an example:

You want Ezreal to start on the step so he can hit both Trundle and Camille, rather than starting in the corner, where he would only damage two units instead of three.

Units that have target stun

Zyra

Sett

Renni

Scar

Twisted Fate

Especially if your carry is a frontline unit(darius for example) , try to avoid those units because they have target stun(honestly you cant do much against scar because he have 3unit stun so maybe try to position in a way that you can kill him before he casts) Here's an example:

IMAGE 1 : put another unit to tank zyra stun IMAGE 2 : put all your units in scar side so maybe he dont cast (he needs a lot of mana to cast)

Single target UNITS

Lux

Cassiopeia

Especially if your carry is a frontline unit without a healing item, you need to avoid those units targeting them at the start of the fight, as they could get one-shot too early.

Place another unit to absorb Lux's damage so that while she's targeting Amumu, Darius can survive and focus on dealing damage to other units.

MADDIE

MADDIE targets the farthest unit, so avoid placing your main carry in that position. Instead, adjust your positioning to keep your carry covered. also make sure your strongest tank is in the exact middle hex so he can tank maddie when she casts .

this way your lux is safe because she is not the farthest .

and you can position maddie not in the corner so she can dodge frontliners becasue most players position their front in the middle .

SAME SIDE with ennemy

When should you position on the same side as the enemy? -against sniper units (kogmaw,zeri) you want to be on the same side so they lose sniper value
-against weak front : If you can kill his frontline before yours falls, position on the same side so your units start attacking his backline before his do.

in this case , your frontline is better so after killing vladimir and swain , vi and draven should kill lux before lux can kill trundle and steb .

OPPOSITE side with ennemy

When should you position on the opposite side as the enemy? -against morgana and swain Since they target the nearest enemies, you want to position your carry farther away from them.
-against strong front :When your frontline falls before his, his backline units will need to move towards yours, giving your units extra seconds to take down his frontline.

Once Vladimir and Swain are eliminated, Violet and Draven will need to move forward to reach Nami and Lux. During this time, Nami and Lux will have extra seconds to take down Steb and Trundle. By the time Violet and Draven are in range to attack, it should become a 2v2.

These are the units I believe have important positioning in the early game. If you're interested in learning more about late-game units, check out this guide: https://www.tacter.com/tft/guides/positioning-guide-set-13-3259b212
