To review CS and farming mistakes in League of Legends, compare your CS at 10:00 and 14:00 to your lane opponent, rewind the minute your gap widened, and check whether you donated waves, missed cannons, or took bad trades — most gold deficits are farming habits, not bad luck. On thatswhy.gg, pick that loss, hit Coach Me, read Recurring Habit, and use Warm-Up Lab last-hit only if the leak is clicking. Missing last-hits is not a personality. Cannons are not lottery tickets. Review the minute your gold curve dropped, then queue with one farming rule.
| Role | Target By 14:00 | Common Mistake | Review Question |
|---|---|---|---|
| ADC / Mid | 90+ CS with 7+ CS/min | Greedy trades for casters and missed cannons under tower | Did I take damage for minions I could have skipped? |
| Top | 80+ CS with wave control | Freeze that denies your own farm or TP away on stacked waves | Did I lose two waves for one map play? |
| Jungle | Efficient clear + camp timing | Ganking doomed lanes while camps respawn and enemy out-farms | Was my pathing keeping pace with the enemy jungler? |
| Support | Minimal lane CS; ADC farm protected | Taking carry CS after laning or leaving ADC alone on crash | Did my roam cost my ADC a full wave? |
| Pattern | What It Looks Like | What You Usually Lose | Queue Rule Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greedy trades for minions | You walk up for caster/cannon and eat a full combo | HP, summoner spells, and lane pressure | No trade for caster if it costs more than one auto |
| Donating waves for map fights | You skirmish in river while a wave crashes into tower | 10–15 CS and plates per failed fight | Shove before I leave lane or skip the fight |
| Stopping farm after laning | You ARAM mid while side lanes have free waves | Item spike delay and outscaled damage | Catch one side wave before grouping mid |
| Vague Goal | Specific Queue Rule |
|---|---|
| Farm better | Check CS at 10:00 and 14:00 every game |
| Stop missing cannons | Prep casters under tower before cannon arrives |
| Do not get outscaled | Catch one side wave before grouping mid |
| Stop dying for CS | No trade for minion if it costs more than one auto |
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I know if I lost lane because of CS or because of kills?
Compare CS at 14:00, not only KDA. A 15+ CS gap with even kills usually means farming or wave mistakes — missed cannons, bad trades for minions, or donated waves while roaming. Outscaled is often just unpaid homework.
- What CS per minute should I aim for in solo queue?
Most ADC and mid laners should target 7+ CS per minute in average games. Top can be slightly lower with kill pressure; jungle varies by pathing. The review target is consistency, not perfect 10 CS/min every game.
- What is the most common CS mistake in ranked?
Donating full waves for river skirmishes or scuttle fights that never convert. Review whether shoving first or skipping the fight would have kept your gold curve intact. Scuttle is not a 401(k).
- When should I use Warm-Up Lab for CS?
When Recurring Habit says the leak is last-hits and tower cannons — actual clicking — not leaving lane on a crash. Run the last-hit drill before queue. Do not skip Coach Me and only click creeps; the review tells you which problem you have.
- How do I review this on thatswhy.gg?
Search your Riot ID, pick a loss where you felt weak despite even kills, hit Coach Me, and read Recurring Habit. If the gap is last-hits, Warm-Up Lab. If it is assignment, catch one side wave before grouping. Excuse Me, Coach? on the minute the CS gap widened.
