Hey, Skill Capped. One of the series guides you have is a bronze to diamond series. While it can be helpful to watch someone high skill play low elo, what would really be interesting is if you take someone genuinely in bronze or iron and get them to plat or diamond without playing duo with a high elo person. That way, the audience can watch the mistakes, hear the corrections, see the growth, and believe they can do it too. You'd have to find someone that can and will commit to the process. Granted, it'd be tricky to do, but all the most valuable things in life are hard.

[@briancitob]

Well I have a friend who was mid plat on season 12. I'm GM currently. I told him to watch the full SkillCapped course. With that and myself coaching him a couple of games now and then, he's one game from Masters. And he does not play that many games. Playing league is easy if you know what you are doing.

[@Pannadol]

@@briancitob I've been watching Skillcapped only and am still stuck in Iron. The difference is that I can now see all my teammates' mistakes and can shake my head at them, and at least now I'm not holding my team back, but I still can't carry. They downplay the importance of micro but I really do think that some people (ie me) are just not good at mechanics and it basically means we are hardstuck forever. I play at least 2-3 games a day and have for about 3 months.

[@briancitob]

@@Pannadol there are some videos of them doing challenges like "playing with no keyboard, only mouse" and still stomping their games. Trust me, it has nothing to do with mechanics. Sure, you won't reach challenger without being mechanically good, but you can easily reach gold or even plat with a very basic knowledge of how to click a mouse and press a button.

[@dandickerson9706]

Nice job. macro is so much more important than micro. You'll find silvers who are mechanically good at their mains, yet are hard stuck because they don't know where to be or why.

[@ostenkara4795]

Fr macro helped me go from gold to plat 2. I was going back and forth between gold 2 and gold 3 and the moment I changed my macro I hella climbed. I got hella pinged for it but I made sure all the towers were safe whenever I noticed a lane wasn’t being held and I ignored dumb fights. I had more gold and levels than everyone and once I joined team fights I was a monster

[@progflog]

@@dandickerson9706 iI's the other way around. Both are important, but micro is more important than macro, especially with ADCs. Doesn't matter if you are always in the right place and played the rest of the game well, one misstep or one wrong AA on a minion in the lane phase could cost you the game. The problem is that many people focus ONLY on micro, then they are good mechanical players with terrible decision making. That's why they rank up when they start using their brains, they already got the basic mechanics down and are now fulfilling the rest of their game skills. My point: there is no player in iron with a ok micro. Not a single one. But you could be in iron with a ok macro and shit doo doo micro. Some exceptions are self playing true afk champs like Yorick (check his winrate in iron!). So the ideal path is Learn to click + Learn your champ (that's why you should stick with a 2-3 champ pool to main) -> Learn to buy the right items (easiest step, knowlegde check instead of a real time decision making) -> Learn macro -> Study the meta.

[@LemonKushDeadside]

Having a good mental especially in low elo is more important than anything on this channel can teach you. I used to tilt frequently because “my team is dogshit” stop doing that terrible victim mentality and went from gold 4 to emerald 4 in a month and 120 games. Tilted and dropped to plat 4. Mental is imperative for climbing.

[@PlacidiumsBlade]

The last one is quite the good advice. But what to do when your whole team is just permanently araming on midlane and no one gets the push advantage?

Splitpush into hover around mid, or just perma splitpush

[@bshell1731]

[@TheNewblade1]

I think a more effective version of tip 1 ks to not play champs you dont have the mechanics to. If u look at that challenger clip the gnar is always playing right on the edge of darius E, which is not something low elo players are gonna he able to do, or atleast consostent enough in the small lvl 1-3 window they have.

[@vladys5238]

ngl i'm diamond and i can't rly kite a darius, but i don't play ranged toplaners haha. mages at most.

[@joetri10]

I only looked at no1. Whilst it's true that playing too safe is bad, at low elo's, farming is subjectively hard for people. People in low elo cant wave manage that well and cant farm that well either. If they focus on being aggressive, they may just end up losing macro, and overextending to die from a gank of which, in low elo, tends to never go unpunished or countered with warding, jungle retaliation or adapting build and play style once behind. Mistake no.1 alone shows that top elo players are entirely out of touch with low elo, showcasing how MASSIVELY different the game is in elo's.

[@TurkeyMeat]

It doesn't matter how well you last hit minions or manage the wave, the point is to be aware of how crashes and rebounds work so that you don't shoot yourself in the foot by pushing when you shouldn't. The only thing you have to do is NOT hit the wave when ahead- anyone can do that, even an iron 4 player.

[@vladys5238]

i mean there are a million things a silver player can do better but you could argue all of those are hard to do in low elo cause people are bad at controlling their characters lol. Do you think being aggressive in lane is particularly hard to apply compared to the other ones?

[@masteryi4302]

First mistake : playing the game

[@MrTokis-sh1li]

Hey skill capped! thank you for providing us reviews and videos to keep us on the track!

[@Justin73791]

How can you apply the mid pressure to baron strat as a top laner/split pusher?

[@n3riiii]

The thing I seem to struggle with is this (and maybe this plays into the over forcing bit): Do these things and the rest of your team stays calm -> yeah works great. Do these things and the rest of your team manages to give away 1-2 kills a minute and it feels like an impossible race against the clock. And option two sadly happens more often than not. Now maybe this evens out if you play enough games (after all, and I know how cocky that sounds, you can't have the feeding mates every game) but if you don't have the time to play hundreds of games it just feels extremley random and frustrating...

[@vladys5238]

point is. If they have someone who is 8-0 in silver, 99% of the time if u are patient and at the right place u will either get a catch or they will just do an int play and die. You get the shutdown and become stronger. People also don't capitalize on kills enough in low elo so by just farming and having good macro you will be close enough in strength to the guy with 10 kills on the enemy. Not to mention you *will* kill your laner if you know the matchup and the macro better than him. The key is patience. Many people get like 3-0 and see enemy adc has a million kills and rush in to kill him right now fail, die and game is lost. U gotta know what fights you can take and wait for the right moment to kill the OP person on their team.

[@socratismichaelides3553]

Easy to preach but extremely hard to apply when every single game has a troller/inter/afk. I am D1 in flex q for the past 2 seasons and I can escape plat in solo q because of these teammates

[@Storstr]

wait so u guys mentioned that early objectives, especially dragons, are pretty useless. Does that mean then when I play jungle, should I ever really be looking specifically for a dragon? One thing I do a lot is that I start with a full clear, before recalling into any camps that respawned near dragon. Then when dragon comes up I take it right away. Is this a good gameplan? or instead should I be looking to gank during that time, and ignore dragon completely, only taking it when nothing else is possible? In that sense, would it be the junglers version of a tower plate?

[@briancitob]

Unless you are playing Shyvana, early objetives should be your last priority, except you are deliberately trying to bait the enemy team to fight because you know you can easily win the incoming fight. Best outcome would be they taking the objetive and you invading their jungle. You can snowball from there. Being one or two dragons behind won't make a difference, and if you manage to take profit from the enemy wasting their time, by 15 min mark you should be so ahead that they won't be able to take anything else from there.

[@Storstr]

@@briancitob oh fr? i acc didn't realize thats how it works. But on shyvana its different tho right?

@skillcapped when playing against a champion, like u gave the example gnar vs darius as gnar when i play against darius, his skills feel way too long and will catch me in aa range, so i play defensive. also when i play darius my skills feel so short to catch enemy. do you know how to overcome this?

[@IamMrTeabo]

trade just after they use ability, or right when they are autoing a minion

[@jman1445]

On top of what he said you just have to learn the range of the skills. his takes practice. As gnar you want to feather in and out of the max range of his skills one auto in then out rinse and repeat. A lot of time people go in too far and aren't autoing fromax range or get greedy and go for too many autos

[@briancitob]

You need to improve what is called "spacing". Look for some videos on that topic, it will make it infinitely easier for you to punish the range advantage.

What will help us is advice about how to counter adc mid. Im one trick talon in euw master and cant win ANY matchup againts adc mid.

[@Yutani_Crayven]

01:37 This is not a mistake. Using your own words here, it ISN'T clear to the Gnar that he has a massive advantage. He doesn't know that Gnar is stronger level 1. Therefor, he chooses to play it safe. Based on his level of knowledge, that is the correct decision. Furthermore, you say in your intro that you don't need to learn everything and you don't need top notch mechanics to climb. But for this example matchup, you need both knowledge as well as good mechanics (spacing) to meaningfully punish Darius and exploit your level 1 advantage and carry it through levels 2-3, etc. That's using your own example. It seems you didn't choose the best case here.

[@Yutani_Crayven]

And you need to know this for every champion that you play (which is why you should focus on as few champions as possible) and for every matchup that these champions face. That is an insane mountain of knowledge that newbies have to develop.

[@UtopiansDream]

The video is really great but I have to disagree about Mistake 9. Low elo (Iron-Gold) players don't care about waves getting pushed. They don't look at the map. That's why it's so easy to destroy turrets while pushing side lanes. Having pushed mid will still lead to 5 vs 5 fights.

[@TurkeyMeat]

That is not true for the simple reason that low elo players will always hit minions that are right infront of them. If they are walking onto the map and there is a mid wave right there, even the support is gonna start pushing it. You can use this time to rotate to sidelanes, set up objectives, back, take buffs, etc. Even if they don't push, they lose some CS and you get vision down the whole lane, so there is no downside.

[@mamaneww]

The problem is when u are 10/0 on your lane, not making any of this mistakes and in the same time your bot lane is 0/7 support and 0/8 adc or 1/9 top and 0/6 jungler. Enemy team is fed as hell, your team is useless and you lose. This is the real problem of low elo. You can have 70% win radio on mid, winning 7/10 lanes and still lose games at the end because of bad team. This is the real problem why many players cant leave iron or bronze, not because of their mistakes, but because of teammates mistakes.

[@vladys5238]

just... Wait for the enemy to fuck up and kill them, if you are 10-0 it's not that hard. Up until emerald they will straight up take int fights cause they don't expect you to be around the corner waiting for them to engage. Don't go crazy, play patient wait for them to fuck up and you got good chances. Also not every game is winnable.

If you're 10/0 on your lane you aren't playing the game right.
