Y'know, if the answer is 5 months, what is the question? Time's up, it's the time in which I haven't made a guide. SO how about I try and guide you on solo laning?
Now, the solo lane is a strange lane. It can either be the biggest stalemate or the largest feeding ground in the game. To be able to discern how to do the solo lane, this is a sort of reference guide. I will have a list of items you may want, strategies, positioning, a pseudo-serious tier list, match ups, and finally tips on grooming your dog. Enjoy!
Now, before I get into the real meat of this, I need to properly explain the mechanics of solo lane.
Starting the Solo Lane
1) The solo lane is always the SHORT lane. If you are on the destroyed side of the map, this will be the LEFT lane, but on the pristine side you will find it in the RIGHT lane.
2) If it is the left lane, then you will go with your jungler to the orange buff, giving that to the jungler with their Hand of the Gods used, and then go over and clear the blue buff, taking it for yourself. On the right side, you start at the midcamps with your mid and jungler, and then go on with the jungler to do the red buff, and then ditto the left side with the blue buff.
3) After both you and your jungler have your buffs, go into lane and push up the wave a bit. Once the wave is properly pushed and the jungler and you are at least level 3, the junglers will leave and you will be left to fend for yourself until ganks.
4) Push the waves by yourself, remaining passive and careful. You have blue buff for 2 minutes after clearing it, so abusing it to make it through those early waves is paramount to your success.
Your duties as Solo Lane
Now, after all that stuff is done, you have a simple job: hold the wave at a stalemate. There really isn't a massive need for kills, so if you can stay alive, then you're doing your job right. If you can hold a lane, then you can make sure the enemy solo laner does not outclass you in any way.
Of course, if your jungler ganks or you have an easy advantage to press, then getting a kill doesn't hurt. In fact, getting a single kill is incredibly useful, as it keeps the enemy wave pushed up and you are able to damage their tower a bit.
Oh, and one more big, big , BIG thing...
SITUATIONAL
AWARENESS
Since you're probably locked in an eternal cycle of gently caressing your rival solo laner to no avail, getting kills or assisting in them in other lanes is a really good idea. Just because you are holding a lane does NOT mean you are the modern day Gandhi. Feel free to make a beeline to mid to pick up a kill before waddling back to lane. Just remember to NOT LET YOUR TOWER TAKE EXCESSIVE DAMAGE. If your tower gets finished off, any kills you racked up will become rather moot in terms of farm, so there are set conditions in which you should rotate.
My foreshadowing is far superior to Hasbro's. Here they are:
1)
Well, are you ready to get your mind entirely blown? Sure you are.
The answer...
To the question...
That you are so hyped for....
That mystifies you...
Or maybe not if your mind is closed...
That the answer may haunt you....
That my BB coding is setting up so perfectly...
Is....
ANYONE!!!
No seriously. Anyone can solo lane given the right skill level and matchup. Just some take more skill than others. Yeah. I'll explain how I rate these characters.
So, how do I rank the gods? Find out after these messages.... NOPE.

I don't know... this guide is too, generic, in my opinion. There's just something about it that's missing. I can't really point my finger at it.
I won't vote for now. If you update this guide and expand it, P.M me so the I could go over it again.
P.S - You could use some more BB coding. Adding some pictures will only help people understand the guide and want to look at it more.
muahaha!
holy i swear to all things saiyan that i will show you every corner of solo if you don't put sun wukong in S tier.
I SWEAR IT!
HOW DID I FORGET MY FIFTH FAVOURITE GOD?
I SWEAR IT!
I do hope you expand on this guide soon :) In the mean time, have my Upvote!
