Paralysis Pen Strategy & Positioning
Positioning is everything on Paralysis Pen. Early game, take map control of the central area and key chokes without overextending into enemy cover. Fight when you have a cover or numbers advantage, and retreat to reset when your Super or a teammate is down. Use the map's walls and bushes to bait enemy abilities, then punish the cooldown. In Duels, track the objective timer and rotate proactively rather than reacting. Avoid greedy pushes that leave your lane open — on Paralysis Pen, disciplined spacing wins more games than raw aggression.
