Sunset

Long lanes · Mid door

Long sightlines favour ranged damage and utility over pure entry.

2 sites · 17 published callouts · in the Competitive pool. Rewards Duelist · Initiator.

Both defaults, and the buy

Attacking
Clear the long angle with utility before anyone crosses it.
Defending
Hold long, give the short, and trade with the rotation.
First buy
Buy rifles before armour while the long angle is uncleared — the first shot there is the round.
Utility
Utility goes down the long lane, not onto the site.

Say it in three

All of A: Lobby · Main · Link · Site · Elbow · Alley. Callout names are Riot’s own; the reduction to three is ours.
