How much is coaching? Also are you NA?

I have come to claim this comment section in the glorious name of The Demi-God, Kalus Valkyrian. Praxis Val! 🎌

Your proposition doesn't change no matter what system they use, so they could be using the headless chicken system and you would still claim it's an effective system xD. Questions like whether they take into account when you practice different champs or strategies or if it's a system that privileges OTPS, none of that is known.

I would rather have the option to blacklist a role than this tbh.

One consistent datapoint they can use is vision. Problem is, they would have to not tell anyone about it.

playing downwards sucks. the game needs to let players rotate the map as they wish.... why cant i rotate and play from left to right... its super corny that league cannot do this in 2024. every 20 year old RTS can do it.

botlane: goes 2/28 grandmaster players: just hard carry every game bro

I think this video makes it sound as if dodging has no cost. It is statistically not worthwhile to dodge a game with a 47% win rate. The LP that you lose by dodging is more than the expected value of playing that game out. I’ve been working on a video that goes a little bit more in depth about this but in short; in order for a game to be statistically worthwhile to dodge (assuming LP gains/losses of 28) your win rate must be 41.1% or lower. Therefore, with both of the strategies described in this video that describe dodging as a potentially viable way to climb, should theoretically not work.

Honestly just make it so each lane picks champs at the same time

I still suffer the Lucian-Braun thing to this day, but in my case it's Lucian-Nami. So much so if I pick before adc, I won't pick Nami

This is more to do with new accounts than bots. Banning 50k bots in a player pool of millions will do nothing. MMR was being used to match new players on their placement games. Base MMR starts in plat. So you have new accounts (new players) being played in Plat and Gold 1 lobbies. Losing their way down to bronze and iron. Silver to plat was giving you free wins from these new players losing their way down the ranks. Riot fixed this so they are no longer getting placed in Plat and Gold lobbies. People were i flated from beating up new players who had no business ever being in those ranks. People feeling more hard stuck because you no longer get these free wins.

They informed us of this ages ago, lmao. How were you not aware of this until now?

HOLY shit what a gem of a channel. KEEP going brother

I peaked gold 2 in s13 and split 1 and 2 of s14. And now im silver 2 and still demoting because the games are just filled with incompetent players after the normal distribution in ranked. I cant play 300 games just to go up by one division its insanity.

I could not even comprehend. Are the changes to help people who fall behind or hurt them more.

If they'd punish dodging more than these climbing strategies wouldn't work anymore

this video is worth less without time stamps

Some ancient champion icons in thumbnail, I like :D

genuinely painful to watch

Saying that shaco isnt hard to play. What in the fuck? Shaco was voted as the hardest assasin in the game by challangers so. You dont understand that champ AT ALL.

I dont think Riot matchmaking is putting us in losers que but i do see a trend where some games my tram gets alot more autofills than the opposite team, and already in champ selecr you can already feel if you will have the advantage or not

I watch every Phreak Video. I'm pretty sure he talked about trueskill and the implementation at some point.

goat

Take into consideration riot doesn't want longer qeue time even if this enhances ranked experience, they want faster games to keep players spamming like addicts.

Good luck to Riot to balance this. No matter what system they go with, I don't think things at the highest ranks will ever be perfectly balanced because the players are so good. They will always find some way to abuse the ranked system in some way to get an advantage no matter how small. The average player isn't doing that.

Nice!

The jungle buff isn't pet dependent it's dragon # after the 2nd drag is when the big is left

Counterjungling: the only exception is the golems (Red Side top, blue side bottom camp), you want to leave enemies as low level as possible, because they can net as much as 200 gold after 15 minutes, if they are always cleared. That is a whole chunk of change. if you take them, you have to take them every time they spawn, or the catchup gain can be huge on that camp. And not neccesserely experience, but the gold gain can make a difference, when you're just slightly behind and the enemy has taken it before, but didn't get around to it this time.

I actually think solo XP + comeback is insane early as support as well. Roam level 1 -> return when ADC hits 3 and you have level advantage because your aggregate is typically higher by that point due to solo lanes etc. It's really ridiculous compared to HoN/DotA where it's very feast/famine. I miss old League's XP system.

Particularly as a jungle the xps system is nuts You can have extreme leads, invade first blood, double crab, steal a camp on respawn and still only be up maybe a level. I've only been up 2 levels early (first or second camp respawn) where the enemy junglers tilts after a couple early deaths

that was interesting to watch, why 720p though ?

Love your videos with this kind of analysis, definitely helps me to understand more nuances about the way each game develops and to ask myself the right questions during game about what to do next regarding objectives or overall finishing the game.

This Channel has quickly become my favourite when it comes to league being explained keep It Up 💪💪

love the amount of thought and detail you put into this analysis! Please do more of these adc centric analytic reviews(there's not a lot out there on YT with this level of quality and care). More power!

quick question outside of topic, does bramble vest apply wounds after hit or right at attack? if trundle walks up, and use q will he heal full or with wounds effect?

Very educational. Much love

Thank you!

These vids are helpful. Thank you.

this will be useful! thanks

1:55:40 Zed gets energy back if he lands both shurikans or both e's. Zed's q does less damage after the first target it passes through, and he does the damage of all shurikens that land (which is why you want to land all 3 shurikens with ult and w if possible, and you want to land at least 1 without hitting anything but your target first). Zed's e from shadows slows, and if he lands both es from himself and a shadow, or from his ult, etc. it increases the duration of his slow instead of stacking more damage (meaning it only counts the damage of one shadow slash). You can also weave in an auto with zed's e, which means you can proc your passive in the same animation as he e's which works really well for specific teq (especially if you're going bruiser with sundered sky or assassin with cyclosword). Furthermore, landing zed e from him (not a shadow) reduces the cooldown of his w. Hopefully that clears up any misconceptions.

The anthem of the first game is "uh oh, Ezreal is dead"

What do I do if i want to recall but the adc still greeds for the turrets?

cool

How does that factor in with certain adc/supp match ups? Like for cait to be useful she needs early plates and gold generation through taking turrets. But if she’s paired with say a thresh diving is possible but isn’t there an inherent lack of synergy through you logic?

people dont understand this?

manage deez

What monitor do you use

"some people like the 3 hr videos" me: blushing

Bruhhhhhhhhh that canon minion! 2:08

Let’s go, I love your videos. Excited to see wave management from your perspective.
