# Wait until your opponent locks in their decision
To read into your opponent's mind, your best bet is to wait after their "thinking period" ends and they lock in to a new decision. Those periods usually coincide with when waves crash into each other: will they push, recall, freeze, or go ward? While it is difficult to predict, it is easy to observe what the opponent has committed themselves to. If they hit the tower, they are obviously trying to get a plate, so you can gank them.
