Usually at this moment players buy starting items.
Champions do not have all their abilities yet and they are weak and vulnerable to damage.
This is also the time when junglers' aggressive ganks are very common.
The ending result of phase one greatly depends on farming.
In this phase most champions will already have armed themselves with essential early items.
This will help to eliminate opponents and take down enemy towers.

At this point in game champions canpush(kill minions by dozens), and consequently theyfarmfaster.
In phase two, your champion should already be armed with one or two mid game items.
They will come in handy in inevitable team fights.Mid Gameis also a good moment to control and kill theDragon.
Phase Two usually ends when most towers of a one team are destroyed.
