Um can I send a reply of my gameplay but it's from Wildrift?.I'm recently hit masters rank and blazing throught it last night with 10 winstreak (it stopped after that). I'm 11 wins away from hitting grandmasters and I'm a support main and I wanna polish my skill even more.

Guys, actual farming in low elo is 10-15 mins, after that everyone start acting like some kind of mad gladiators, fighting for everything and throwing a game instead of farming, i boost over 800 people over 13 years i play this game, and i can tell its never change. Actually many players in plat-diamond can lasthit like challengers on lining phase but after that they cannot find a window to farm cause of gladiator madness. You guys better make a link to your videos how to find that windows, i think u had it before.

[@chrollolucilfer5297]

Bro thats the fun in game

[@HappyGick]

Farm the jungle. Literally just take jungle camps. That's what I do. I'm not that good at csing, but I know that because of that "gladiator madness" I won't be able to cs for much longer than 15 minutes. After that I have to take jungle camps.

[@christiana1137]

fr. After 15 minutes it's: do I farm and let my team die 4v5 and have them question mark ping me or do I attempt to go with them potentially die and end up with no cs . As an ADC it's a struggle.

[@JustJulias]

@@HappyGick I gonna kill you if you do that in MY JUNGLE

[@Nemiroffthebest]

@@christiana1137 Yep, for adc or imobile mages its always a thing. You can have 0 vision from your team aramin for stray 5 minutes accomplishing nothing but IF U EVER decide to farm on side they INSTANTLY engage on enemy team and die for nothing. I call this move gladiator madness and at least have fun watching they're dying.

[@PrimordialGaymer]

The section on how towers target minions is incomplete. Yes they target the closest minions, but only after checking for the TYPE of minion. The priority order is Siege > Melee > Caster. A siege minion will be targeted first over a melee even if the melee is closer to the tower. However, normally when a minion wave enters a tower's range the melees are the first to enter and therefore one will be targeted before the siege enters. This means that in general when a full minion wave enters the targeting order will be Melee, Siege, Melee, Melee, Caster, Caster, Caster.

[@Moonnfire22]

Thank you, nice to know Was confused sometimes the range-trick didnt worked

[@giovannitorres9337]

Also worth pointing out champion summons (like Malzahar's voidlings, Yorick's Ghouls, Shaco boxes, Zyra plants) all have priority over minions as well. Would be interesting to see a full tier list of which summons, if there is any between them, have priority over one another as well as Herald + clones priority.

[@PrimordialGaymer]

@@giovannitorres9337 I can think of one exception to this though. Yorick’s maiden is kind of treated like a champion. It will be targeted after minions unless if it starts hitting an enemy champion.

did they remove the target champions only toggle ? cant find it

[@itorres008]

@@sgtwhite577 It's under In-game, Hotkeys, Abilities and Summoner Spells, next to last option. But it's not necessarily a toggle, you can set it as a toggle or to be on only while you hold the key down. That is under the Game section and it's only available in Settings on the Game Client inside a game or practice tool. It's not on the screen on Settings on the Riot Client. Riot should fix that for consistency.

[@jashpatel8021]

😅

[@Gedackt]

Just an FYI - Target champion only absolutely works on abilities. I main Nocturn and I use it when I'm ganking into a minion wave not to accidentally fear on of the minions, but the enemy champion instead. Also, I've found out the hard way that if I have it toggled ON when contesting a jungle camp, dragon, herald, etc, that it will not smite the monster...oops.

[@SevenTheMisgiven]

Yeah it's actually a really good trick that does help for at least 80% of scenario's. Just don't rely too much on it because you will lose mechanical speed as well as it simply not being 100% foolproof.

[@0Smile0]

17:12 something easier to remember this trick that works for both hitting and dodging skillshots: there is only one variable here, - UP (above the other champion) -> aim UP (head of champion) to hit, or move UP to dodge (assuming the enemy doesn't know this trick they'll try to hit the center of your champion and if you move up they miss) - DOWN (below the other champion) -> aim DOWN (feet of champion) to hit, or move DOWN to dodge (assuming the enemy doesn't know this trick they'll try to hit the center of your champion and if you move down they miss)

After 11 years playing i had no idea about height adjustment being so relevant in terrain variations. Can't believe i never realized. Maybe that's whyi've been missing so many q's as zac recently, it made me so mad... just picked up jungler, never had so much terrain variations in my life 😂

[@Danndamannn]

Same... Been playing for years and I never noticed there were "hills" my brain has always perceived the map as perfectly flat. What a strange feature, I wonder why they implemented it

[@Danndamannn]

Is the river and bank the only high/low ground? How do you tell?

[@ChazRagg]

Another way to tell if Anivia has her egg up ( and any sort of revive like GA) you will see some silver wings above the champs level. it doesn't tell you how long it will be until it is back up but it is a good indicator if you want to dive aniva, zac, adc with GA, ect, ect

[@zayderift7697]

*etc, etc

[@samuelbaquero6313]

11:43 that thing about auto spacing... As a fighting game player I can see that is an option select! It's so satisfying to recognize it and see how these games have something in common. You input a click and click back if you were in range you will auto and kite, if not you will get out of range and avoid being attacked, the beauty of it.

[@Hconinja]

32:00 you guys literally saved so much time for me on control wards. I thought they acted the same way as stealth wards when destroyed. now i can live my life knowing that after destroying a control ward i don't have to use extra brain cells to 'bait vision' like an idiot. :)

[@tristantzara9496]

I wish skillcapped showed how auto attacking a control warded ward when taking an objective gives vision

[@Hconinja]

@@tristantzara9496 to keep it simple. For 'control warded' stealth wards, they still act like stealth wards, giving vision after it's destroyed (even though it didn't give vision before) and, for 'control warded' control wards, they don't grant vision after they are destoyed. But, if the enemy looks at the map often, they would know exactly where you are, (if they remember where their wards are) if they see the wards being destroyed, which is present in higher elos.

[@N4g4r1d3r]

Important thing to note with the auto spacing! It only works if you play a champion with a fast auto attack animation. If you were to play Varus instead of Xayah in that clip you showed it would be nearly impossible to pull of since Varus animation is literaly ages. Higher attack speed later on will change that though.

[@MyMasterController]

*dies in Senna*

[@zaroote]

Deft's Xayah clip is amazing, still imo it should be mentioned that Xayah W gives 30% ms after hitting, and that makes autospacing so much easier than without it. great video btw

[@felixaubert7322]

That last farming mechanic is actually so simple, but at the same time incredibly ingenious.

[@Karin029_]

I noticed the ward vision after clearing it thing during my games, but I always forget which ward does what when trying to play around the vision decay when clearing wards myself. Always nice to get a reminder

[@duddex_]

Had no idea the hitboxes were like this at, 16:25. I think it is really weird that it is like this, but knowing it is will help a lot.

[@PhO3NiX96]

yeah lol it's so dumb, they could have fixed that if they really wanted, it's definitely not a feature, it's just a "We didn't wanna spend time fixing this" moment

[@p6nce587]

For any champ with revive passive or guardian angel the easiest way to tell is that the level on their healthbar will have a border around it to indicate they have the passive up

[@Lazriell]

Sidenote to the wards: it is also useful to memorise the skin the enemy has on the wards. Most of the times I instantly know who placed it. It was a really useful video for me btw, so thank you to take so much effort in this!

[@brunolanglais662]

ward skins pay to lose

[@textexadecimal9340]

29:55 About target champs only: this only works when right-clicking. A-LeftClick and attack-move-click will still target towers and minions. Lately I've been using right-click to compensate with mixed results; between having to exactly click on the target and overriding muscle memory, it's been awkward at worst. Oh and of course, only do this when you may accidentally click a minion or tower.

[@zerankarrion]

The one that I love the most is Jhin's fourth shot plus pre-input buffer, you can burn a lot of flashs from the enemy 😅

[@TheKittyClink]

I like the kill the casters first tip. I learned that playing Dota way back when. And I finally got to GM on league, super overlooked small skill. I'm surprised how many people weren't doing that until highish diamond. These kind of videos are awesome too cuz honestly im not great at auto spacing due to playing alot of JG/support. Super cool.

[@janhob7250]

5:20 I personally don't think someome should "learn" any numbers here. After time you get a feeling for it, particular if you try a lot of champs in aram. So the best tip here is hovering around the range Limit, predict abilities, side step and punish failed abilities. Like you akready said. Im glad you guys put spacing on #1 because its a mechanic you use constantly and it is defintely a underrated mechanic in educational content. So thanks for having it!

[@AzizTheGazele552]

Something wrong tho at 30:15, it does work on spells as I learnt recently while playing ryze, targeted spells, if I press w or e on a minion with champ; only it wont trigger, but on a champ it will.

[@IMoonlightShadowI]

If you play the game enough and are observant enough you can pick up on a lot of these. I've learned a lot through observing and analyzing by asking what went wrong and why. Going back to watch games helps as there are times where you think you know what happened and you miss a crucial thing. When watching this video I thought I'd find a lot more useful tips for myself. I didn't know about the Leblanc and Shaco clone timers as I was always in a very prickly situation where there's not a whole lot of time to think or look. I also think it's because of my lack of understanding on how those champions work (ability cooldowns, changes on them in the past 3-5 years, etc.) due to my inexperience in fighting against them. I only play casually for fun with friends but it's not like I never want to improve and learn from my mistakes or others mistakes. This is still quite an informative video with good explanations on why you'd want to do these things. I'm glad someone is putting content like this out there to help others who are looking to improve theirselves

[@LordIvor6]

OMG thank you. In the old days it was far easier to tell fakes apart (like status effects or debuffs like ignite would persist and only affect the "real"). Still annoying to tell in the thick of battle, but there's a way

i already use everything on this except input buffering - but that was worth the watch. well done.

[@thunderh0rse961]

This was a really helpful video, good content.

[@Ilandria.]

WRT the height stuff one thing to keep in mind is that your champion will always throw the skillshot towards your cursor, and NOT in the direction shown by the skillshot line. The line is rendered at whatever height you're standing, which means it will look wrong when aiming up or down elevation. Your cursor does correctly show where your champion will send the ability as the cursor does account for terrain elevation. If you want to see what I mean, just stand somewhere high or low and fire a skillshot after bringing up the line - you'll notice it always flies towards your cursor and not in the direction the line shows. Due to this, I've actually disabled line skill shot display and I just use the range ring; even though that still doesn't account for elevation differences, it's a bit less confusing to just aim with your cursor. That said, a solution to this would be for League to project the skillshot indicators on to the world surface rather than as an overlay/depth-ignore/etc. I can see an argument where it may be less clear to do that, but having played many games that use a projection system to solve this problem I would at least like Riot to give it a shot if they haven't.

[@juliankanzuki2013]

7:22 yeah caling bull on that, Zed has almost 2000 threat range and since he's manaless he can use it to poke you down, the only time that's an issue for him is if he's allready over extending and then uses it to poke you and then he gets ganked without his get out of jail free card, and even then he still probably has flash to burn and still escape the gank. Zed is just rediculously safe and pretty much gets priority of lane no matter what you do. Even in this cilp right after saying that Ahri gets poked down and loses hp.

[@bm8combat_wombat748]

So im on the EUW server And most of my friends and including me knew about the ward tip and the input buffering almost all of the time we’ve played league. I don’t think you can compare challanger csing and gold csing that easy. First challenger players face other challenger players, which makes laning and therefore csing way harder than in gold. Secondly the games length is shorter in challenger, in the early stages of the game you can’t gather cs as fast as in the late game, like you have in gold (when you have 3-4 items). Now I don’t want to sound like a hater, I really liked the spacing and the rest of the tips. I think a lot of these statistics are from the NA servers ? Because whenever I watch videos of streamers in euw and Korea, the average cs is over 9 - 10 cs per minute. But yeah keep up the good work ☺👍

[@animegeek6118]

Is their a way to make the camera auto follow my character instead of having to move it around with my mouse?

[@Caolboy]

Has there been any patch notes that have changed some of these mechanics? I.e. the residual vision effect from stealth wards

[@AmelliaKyusei]

League made anivia and zac's passives more visible by encasing the Level icon so... i dunno you can kinda tell when their passives up when the level icon is encased with a "wing like" icon on top if it's not there they recently used it. (or rather got forced into it)

[@littlesilver9726]

Hey, thanks for the video. I got a question about the "target champions only" tip: You said if you use this u can only hit champions. However as far as I know this is not entirely true. - It works if: I use LMB, which is my attack or move command. - It does not work if: I use my A-Button, which is my attack the closest target button. My issue with this is that if I use my LMB and I missclick on a range champion I will move into melee range instead of attacking the champion. Is there a way to make both work (use target champions only and attack the closest target)?

[@Arvensa]

no, that's not possible. there is an engine limitation that prevented RIOT from coding it to work like this when they adjusted these setting options to the way they are now several years ago (there was an article published about it at the time)

[@XxNewmilleniumxX]

The most important factor of kiting which most people fail to mention is using the A or X button Command. It will be really hard to use and implement when you first do it but it the most essential way on how to kite, that and knowing your speed on which your champ hits at esp for adcs . You will get a grasp on your speed or updated speed when buying new items once you start farming. It is essential to learn these 2 if you want to learn how to kite. The rest such as in backshotting (when you walk out of range before the enemy gets to attack or counter and you reattack.) When to start kiting etc will come once you learn how to acutually start kiting. This is strictly for adc btw. Make sure your A or X command is still on smart cast, this will show your range on how far you can attack at. My siggestion is to use it everyday and for everything/move your doing it will become second nature pretty fast, this is free sauce im giving yall man!
