Feeding: What, Where, and When? (Part Two)

Every position has a different look at feeding, some need it more than others to keep up, and others benefit from it more than others. Here I will try to explain certain priorities of the different roles, however keep in mind that the three rules from part 1 should generally trump these.



  • Top- Top laners generally get enough farm from their lane in order to keep up with the game. Often times junglers will come and gank top lane and get a kill, and this supplements their gold and experience income. Some carries do play top, and in this case their feeding priority would be slightly higher, however for a tankier top: Feeding Priority = Low
  • Middle - Most of the time middle will have an AP carry laning, and they benefit largely from experience then gold, so often time being involved in a kill gives them a good advantage, whether its a kill or an assist. Feeding Priority = Medium
  • Jungle - The feeding priority of junglers varies significantly depending on the jungler. Any type of assasination type junglers such as Shaco will have higher priority than top or support, and if they are roaming more than middle, slightly higher. If its a utility jungler such as Maokai, the priority will be slightly higher than support and top. Feeding Priority = Medium/Medium-High
  • Support - In most situations a support should not be taking kills, however they should always get assists. Feeding Priority = Very Low
  • ADC - ADC's benefit the most from gold and experience, and they snowball the hardest. ADC players should be getting fed the most as it will benefit them the most. Feeding Priority = High

  1. Personally I don't see this as a take all chart, aside from ADC being the highest priority.

    Trying to keep it short -
    Early Game:
    Mid/Adc>Jungler>Top>Support
    Mid Game:
    Adc>Mid/Top>Jungler>Support
    Late Game:
    Adc>>>>>>>Top>Mid/Jungler>Support

    Characters that scale better with gold take priority, and for gold Damage characters are > than utility characters.
    However, I would value less an early game jungler for feed such as Shaco past the ~~22 minute mark than a Maokai. The inverse is true for early game.

    Hypercarries always take priority.

    Team example 1:
    Vayne Janna Bot
    Hecarim Jungle
    Darius Top
    Anivia Mid

    Vayne > Anivia/Hecarim > Darius > Janna

    etc....
