Split Push
Pushing a side lane alone to force the enemy to split attention from a 5v5.
Split-pushing means sending one strong 1v1 hero — a duelist like Yin or a wave-clearing fighter — to push a side lane alone while the rest of the team holds vision or applies pressure elsewhere, rather than grouping for a straight 5v5. It works by presenting the enemy with a dilemma: send multiple heroes to stop the split-pusher, giving up map control elsewhere, or let a turret fall. It needs the pushing hero to survive a gank alone, either through an escape tool or raw dueling power.
