Question to those who are more adept at this than me:

How do you effectively keep an eye on what's going on elsewhere in the map, specifically to see whether you need to go assist someone getting caught or to scout important cooldowns, all without severely sacrificing what's going on with my own champion (missing dumb cs, getting poked, etc.)?

EDIT: I guess the better question is how to train it.

once you're good enough at a champion, you won't have to pay as much attention to what you're doing

It just becomes second nature, tracking important cooldowns needs to really be done by each lane (cause there is no way you will see them all) but other then that, try and get into the habit of checking the map between CS's, the same can go for checking tab.

I find it more effective to focus on one thing at a time, rather than trying to keep an eye on everything at the same time.

If my allies are doing something risky or whatever that requires my attention, I expect them to ping when I am needed.

If that's not possible or my allies are incompetent, I back off my lane and monitor them personally on my screen.

Better to miss few cs than to miss a critical teleport play.

things my bard can do that ur champ probably can't bc it sucks:
- stun all the enemies in botlane. every ten seconds.
- never base
- get anywhere FAST
- create ganking routes out of thin air (well, walls)
- incapacitate the entire enemy team
- heal and speed up people on entirely different sides of the map
- make hot cocoa and make snowbards with penguins

You see, since AP items were left in the butter, champs that do well without much AP have risen to the top - very same thing in regards to junglers. The jungle items all got a massive price hike.
