Should I block the first wave?

Choose a block that brings the lane to the tower without losing your first useful position.

Question 1 / follow the state

Does the lane become safer or more valuable if the wave meets closer to your tower?

A block is worth the time when it protects the carry, improves denies, or creates a level-one trade.
