I would say you basically have these options: 1. Fleet + Absorb Life 2. Bloodline, optionally supplemented with Fleet 3. Lifesteal from Blade of the Ruined King rush, if playing an on-hit ADC 4. Bloodthirster once you have 100% or at least 75% crit. Any options from 1-3 will be enough lifesteal for the early-mid game, and option 4 will greatly boost your lifesteal lategame. BT can also function as your sole form of lifesteal if you just want to run Alacrity, but your early-mid sustain will be rough until you build it, at least Absorb Life preferably combined with Fleet Footwork is recommended.

​@@VaporaDarkThanks i think with kaisa depending on the build i'll go bork wits end or bloodline. And vayne bork and wit's end would be enough. I'm still rough with my position but your vids help so much

Not that good I think.

Replay HUD is the name of the app

Jinx at a tier 2 tower is a dead jinx for free then they gonna steam roll your team or just take all the objectives on the map for free and low elo players always force objectives which is a good thing now that jinx is dead...I don't ever past t1 as jinx..😂😂 and jinx is so good at teamfights in low elo it ain't worth split pushing...

Obviously there is no perfect way to actually handicap myself to the skill of a silver player, but at the very least it'd be great if I can at least mitigate the 'snowball' detriment of being a higher level player in a lower level game, where the further we get into the game the less and less relevant it becomes to the average player because at that point even just my champion is capable of more things than their champion would be at that stage of the game. If I can handicap my gold to just the average for that game, then at least everything stays equally relevant from minute 1 to minute 40. Additionally, it's not always bad that I have better mechanics than my viewers. I think it is a good thing to have an example of what you should be aiming for. A lot of mechanics isn't solely about mechanical 'capabilities' but about mechanical 'habits', and they both go hand in hand. A silver player may suck at kiting compared to me, but they suck way less compared to if they didn't know what kiting is at all. When you see a high Elo player kite, if you've never seen the concept of kiting before your mind would be blown, and now you have something you can practice that you didn't before. Likewise, seeing how high Elo players dodge skillshots that they're not even reacting to, just using their own ingrained habits to keep their movement erratic, can show viewers how they should aim to move themselves.

@@VaporaDark Oh yeah, ofc, I was just watching the last game (learning Ashe btw) and thought that it's great that you limit your damage output, but I'm not doing the things that you did as well as you did, which I think you also mentioned at the end. Love your vids, btw, not just Ashe <3

Just try and line up your Q to hit as much of the wave as possible I guess. Or were you referring to something else?

The river is considered to be at a lower height compared to the rest of the map. The game has a ZY axis for visual purposes only (for whatever reason). The visual of the skillshot, if you slow the clip down, is actually nowhere near where my mouse was when I cast it. The disconnect between the high ground/low ground makes my skillshot appear further down than it was, making the hitbox look ridiculous when really it's the visual that's completely wrong, and the hitbox was fine at hitting her.

You're completely right, I forgot Yuumi is a parasite not a champion. Rookie mistake.

That would be fun and very educational for sure! Just a little impractical unfortunately.

Right it makes me so sad every time 😅

I'm doing a longer video about the skillcapped strat 👀Stay tuned!

Learn kiting. Done.

As you're learning the game, it's a good idea to play as few champions as possible (play whoever you like best) so you get familiar with matchups, then try expanding your champion pool little by little to account for bad matchups or to improve lane synergy. It's good for ADC to farm mid after laning phase because it's the safest lane to cover and you can move to fights happening in other lanes the fastest from there, since you want to be with the team as the AD carry. But of course, other laners may not rotate and mindlessly farm whatever is in front of them, so we also have to adapt to our teammate's choices (or lack thereof).

You should stick to someone you’re comfortable with as counterpicking can backfire if you don’t know how to actually play the counterpick. Plus with marksmen I think counterpicks matter a bit less because a good/well played support pick can help even it out.

Just perma push lane get 9-10 cs/min and win at 20-25 min

Not usually, my left ear was just blocked almost all day yesterday. It randomly unblocked in the very last game haha.

I would need more to go off of than that. In what way do you struggle?

@@VaporaDark I sometimes feel like I lose track of my q during skirmishes and teamfights. I either charge it too much and get engaged on while trying to find the perfect target or I pop it too quick because im running from a fight. My damage seems to be considerably lower when I play the build. I dont know if thats because I undervalue W stacks when I play poke or just from not landing the poke often enough

Glad you both enjoy the content! Reviewing a bit of the early laning I don't think there was any need for Soraka to position aggressively. Overall we wanted to minimize trading against Draven so passive positioning worked fine. Maybe there was something she could have done to prevent Janna having sole control of the lane brushes and spamming invisible tornados at us, but it might have been too risky since getting hit by a Janna tornado against Draven basically kills her or forces Flash every time. The only misstep I noticed from her was positioning a mile away from me during the fight at 7:40, but that was more down to underestimating Aphelios's blue-white damage rather than bad positioning skills. If I didn't have good dueling weapons, we both should have backed off there. I do actually quite like Soraka with Aphelios, although this might not have been the best lane for it. She's good into mage supports, and is good anti-burst for dealing with short range lockdown supports; but not good for dealing with hook supports who pull Aphelios away from her, or can reach her with their engages. Here though I think we both picked too weak early champions against Draven, we needed something that could stand against Draven more effectively. The fact that Draven being 1/0 with only a 2x Long Sword advantage over me was already enough for her to feel that we could no longer match the enemy bot lane even in a bigger wave and had to abandon our farm (which she would have been right about if I didn't have those weapons), leaving us in a position where we ccould no longer last-hit without getting our jungler to come hold our hand, is a testament to how weak our lane phase was. We couldn't get away with picking that much scaling against Draven, was why that didn't work out. Sometimes you need a support with a strong enough early game that you can at least approach the wave and farm, which Soraka doesn't provide against such a strong all-in champion such as Draven. If she picked Soraka vs Draven I needed to pick a stronger ADC who could stand against him, or if I picked Aphelios vs Draven, then she needed to pick a stronger support who could help me stand against him.

@@VaporaDark This was incredibility helpful thank you for taking the time to reply to me! I definitely agree during 7:40 she should have been there I found that really strange. Your explanation changed the way I see matchups and your knowledge of them is something I'm always impressed by. Its really helped when playing support so I can understand what the adc needs to win. I find your videos to be extremely entertaining and education from a support point of view.

It's fine if you start W, but I like even more starting W as well as taking the attack speed shard. It helps a LOT for pushing for level 2, and even for trading/fighting at level 1. The adaptive shard scales better because your AD scaling increases throughout the game (crit + IE more than doubles your AD scaling per auto, AD scaling increases at level 6 when you unlock ult, all your AD ratios scale with levels until level 13). But for me I just prefer being stronger early.

@@VaporaDark ah i see, i just wanted to see what your opinion was since i noticed you started putting additional points into w pre 6. anyways appreciate the videos man keep up the good work 👍
