21 Laning Mistakes Most Low Elo Players Make | How To Improve Your Laning S10 ~ League of Legends

[@camdevtube]

Number 11 can't be emphasized enough. I've spent enough time in low ELO to know that 9 out of 10 low ELO players, after having lost lane, continue to try to fight the enemy laner who is 2 levels and 50 CS ahead. As a jungler main, it's the most infuriating thing ever because after they've gone 0-5 they start spam pinging you, demanding that you come deal with the 5-0 Darius they fed breakfast, lunch and dinner to.

[@houndofculann1793]

That is also a pitfall where many inexperienced junglers fall, trying to go and help that lane at that point

[@PandemoniumDemonium]

lol, i know the feeling

[@IMA93-21]

As a jungle main, I felt this is my soul. This shit happens in high elo too.

[@LipziG3R]

That's the main reason why I don't want to play jungle at all. You're always the "idiot" and then people tilt even more if you don't "help" them, which would just end in a double or triple kill for the enemy, anyways. That would probably destroy all the fun I (sometimes) have with league D:

[@mityrka]

its embarassing, but I may be one of those adcs... :( on behalf of those adcs and my own, I am sorry.

[@SgtCellFish]

1. play around level 2 spike, level 6 spike, item spikes or any powerspikes in general top/mid lvl 2 after 1 wave and 1 melee bot lvl 2 after 1 wave and 2 melees 2. focus more on farming if farm isnt around 75cs 3. play around low hp minions 4. play around CD or SS: Trade when spell misses, play safe when burned flash, eny flashed? => ping + 5min 5. ward pixel bush at 1:20 6. Base after kill 7. Time basing when the cannon wave is arriving. Hard shove the wave before 8. Freeze waves when it's safe 9. Change playstyle based on matchup or teamcomp. against heavy early, try to stay even in farm full ad camp, buy early cloth armor 10. Change position in lane based on wards and jungler location 11. Stop fighting and try to stay alive and farm when behind. 12. Buy pink wards if you have some gold left everytime. 13. Play around bushes to drop minion agro or hide abilities 14. Use bushes to set up a freeze 15. Play around minion wave size. 16. Watch minion map often, when not trading, basing... 17. Rotate to help. If your jungler is fighting for crab go help. 18. Don't greed for turret plating or tower damage early on. THINK! Is it worth it? 19. U dead? dont use SS 20. Use SS quick before you might get chained cc. 21. Shove and roam if you are in front. low risk high reward.

You'll climb eventually

[@tetrahedron_in_space]

The tip at 9:20 is, in my opinion, one of the most important tips in the game. A LOT of people I've played with get upset when they're not the one carrying the game to victory, and they either intentionally feed or make incredibly risky decisions with low chances of success, which can feed that cycle of them dying over and over again. It is fundamentally an inability to see success as anything but what's on the scoreboard, and while the scoreboard is usually a good indicator of what team won the game, it's not the actual "Victory" or "Defeat" screen. The most important part of this tip is understanding where your team's strengths are when you get to the midgame and playing around that. If you're playing top and you're 0/4, but your ADC is 5/0, even if you're playing a carry champion, you should change your focus to enhancing that ADC's ability to carry. The logical conclusion is to hold your CC abilities for when people jump on your ADC so that you can save them. But most players in low ELO don't think dynamically across the timespan of the game like this.

[@Nazuiko]

Fastest way to climbing isn't learning how to carry. It's how to GET carried. You have a certain % to carry yourself, but an 80% chance (4 teammates) to get carried. Bet on the 80%.

[@Oznerock]

@@Nazuiko not really. You have 4 teamates with a 50% per cent chance to outperform the enemy each. If you have a 50% chance to outperform too, or just focus too much on not dragging down the game, each game essentially becomes a coinflip. If you win 50% of your games, you don't really climb, at least not quickly. However, if you manage to win even just 55% of your lanes, and manage to turn at least half of those games into wins by carrying, you can expect something like a 53% winrate (27.5% by carrying, 25% being carried/contributing evenly with the rest of the team), which will make you climb. And that's if you're only slightly more skilled than your elo's average. If you can get a win with 60% of your lanes and turn half of those into hard carried games, the number skyrockets. Of course, knowing how not to int when you lose lane is also important.

[@MillenniumEarl014]

@@Oznerock you are so right. I've seen Challengers with 51% winrate. They are not bad but they do what they have to do 51% of the time. But of course it's a slow climb.

There is also a very important thing to say: if you are low elo, and you use all the things you see in the video each and every game and you are consistent with it, YET you still don't climb and aren't able to carry, then the cold truth is that you are just BAD mechanically. The tips are very useful and very true, but if you're literal garbage and macro they won't be of as much use as you'd expect. The key to climbing is practicing, getting better and investing time into the game, if you really want to get good. Don't expect to play 1 game every 2 days and get diamond when you're silver. You need to put effort into it! There is no magical recipe to this, you HAVE TO put work into it.

[@burekmali6704]

If you implement this you will get better at macro naturally as there are few macro tips here (wave management , trading , itemization and so on.) . But that is naturally that you have to put in few dozen hours a week to get high elo .. same with any other thing in life

[@permabanQrus]

7UST Mechanical skill is already something that is a high point in Gold, mechanics isn't as hard to learn than game knowledge.

[@lust8890]

I am more so talking about iron-gold players, whose mechanics are not good. They tend to get 50-60 cs at 10 minutes at best and don't know how to trade efficiently by missing all spells and positioning poorly. By mechanics I don't only mean being able to auto-reset with E on Graves, by mechanics I mean positioning, landing skill shots often, CS'ing properly, etc, things that low elo people struggle with a lot. I know that because I smurfed quite a bit and I can easily see every such mistake. It's true that you can get high elo with great game knowledge, but if you can't land your spells it won't do much for you. You still have to be at least decent at playing your champion and knowing your limits and how to get the most out of it. What I mean by my comment is that there are a lot of silver players watching who think they deserve a higher elo when in reality they don't because they really really suck at everything they are doing, but their ego is too big. With my comment I just want to say that you must accept the fact that you don't know how to play the game and actually put in a lot of work to get better if you desperately want high elo. You can't just auto-pilot everygame doing the same dumb stuff over and over and over, you must look into improving your gameplay not only in game knowledge, but in all types of mechanics.

[@lust8890]

Also, the first comment I made is aimed towards people who follow the instructions by heart yet can't climb. I am obviously not saying all low elo players are bad mechanically, I am talking about those who actually are and don't know why they don't climb after learning from such videos.

[@natasharomanoff8907]

[@rtwiceorb770]

this is the problem people hate smurfs. Rather then learning from them you get tillted by them. I was once a broce 1 player I spammed normal games didnt play a lot of ranked. Then sudenlly I saw these high elo players or smurfs you call them in my games. I mean I was laning against a master tier yasuo with my yasuo and we fought he would outplay me and my jungler sometimes I would do that to them. People need to test themselfes. I used to force myself not using flash defencivelly always looking to outplay opponents ofc I died a lot I fed alot but then I could do it and I would turn to pick a kill.I managed to learn from them then after some time I played ranked and I saw how better I became in reading the game matchups lane positioning and other things. Now I have around 10 acc ranging from high Diamond to low silver mostlly having fun in low elo games. But you see I also teach people that lane against me to try and play better if they show some knowledge in the game we just had. Beacuse I was once that scrub lord that thinks its his team that hold him down and so on. But I guess people would rather take eazy way out. Also turn off the autoatack for the love of the game. Actually worst thing you can have active by far

[@lukef1131]

@@rtwiceorb770 yeah you can learn from players better than you but getting completely stomped by a smurf teaches essentially nothing these players can take out noobs even if they just farm under turret

[@rtwiceorb770]

@@lukef1131 I used to be crap in game as well untill I spamed normals and got into high diamond/master tier games whille being bronce. Now I used to play my main champion obviouslly and I got to see how they play and why they play like they do. I got knowledge beacuse I was interested in learning not winning. The entire point of ranked is not to spam grind it beacuse you dont learn you should focus on learning and test your limitations always. So when I met a master tier yasuo main the same champion as me we had a goo. Sometimes Enemy ganks I outplay and end up with a kill and alive some times he outplays me and my jungler and sometimes I just die so I started to focus on susing flash agresivelly and never defencivelly. This pushed me to think about can I escape a gank without using a flash. After the game ended a said yasuo player looked my acc said no way you are bronce your skill lvl is atleast diamond. This was for me recognition of me actually improving in my midlane knowledge. So I did a second acc repeated a proces but with jungle and now I can track enemy jungle based of jungle camps and his clear based on cs and his first gank. So yea now I am Diamond 1 player last season highest was a master tier promos that I failed and I have acc all the way to silver 4on which I have fun and get them to gold as season ends to get a skin.

[@shacolin6546]

On the second point, one important thing you forgot to mention is that by harassing, at the same time you might be losing farm by doing so, you're also stopping the enemy from getting it. When you kill someone, you're also denying them gold and experience. In that scenario, 50 CS and 1 kill may be a little less gold than 70 CS, but if your opponent gets 70 CS on the farming scenario and 40 CS and a kill behind on the pressure scenario, he'll lose more than you did. And I haven't even mentioned matchups and roams. Farming is important, but often overrated.

[@gamingdragon1356]

Getting a kill tilts your opponent , 2 0 and 50 farm is in a better mindset than 100 farm but 0 2 , because his team will tilt him even more . Also level advantage is much bigger than gold advantage , if you can out level the opponent you can do a lot more against jg and bot lane since they will be far behind .

[@jonharwood1639]

You are insane. Farm is NOT overrated. That is some silver talk right there. If you are at 50 cs at 10 minutes you need to improve that immediately no matter what. Just because you're bronze or silver opponent has 40 cs doesn't mean you should be ok with having 50. That is one of the biggest differences as you get higher elo. High elo players can do both and more. They can poke, watch mini map, play around vision, look to roam, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY get 80+ CS at 10 minutes.

[@shacolin6546]

You're not wrong in many points. But you also don't get what I'm trying to say. I'm not trying to say that farm is not important. I'm trying to say that there are other stuff going on in the game too, and if you give all of that up for farming, you're throwing your entire early game. By playing aggressive, even if that means missing a couple of CS, you're also denying enemy their own CS, more than you're missing, so even though you're getting less gold, your enemy is getting even more less gold. And on top of that, you have lane priority, which enables you to roam and and be in a skirmish first than your opponent. Either that or force your opponent to lose all that gold and experience when the wave collapses into a tower by going to said skirmish. It is frustating, not to say infuriating, to invade the enemy jungler, have a level advantage, an HP advantage, to sucessfully steal the enemy's camp and having everything sucessfully set up for a kill just to get collapse in a 3v1 while my allies don't move a muscle out of the lane because they're... farming. They trade a very favorable fight, a 2v2 or 3v3 when one of the enemies are almost out of the fight only to get a couple of cs and the enemy team a kill. Of course, in an ideal situation, you will be able to do it all. Get CS and be active. However, not all players can do that, and when they don't, they must have priorities, and sometimes be active should be the priority. The objective is the victory, and if you can achieve that by being active, even though that means having 50 CS by 10 minutes, that's fine.

[@shacolin6546]

I agree. But that's half the CS you're supposedly giving up to pressure. I'm talking about 30% at most. And by these 30%, you're denying the enemy the same ammount of gold or more while also denying him experience. Either that or getting your team ahead with a roam or an invade. Best case scenario, you're a player that can do both, CS and pressure, at once. But when that's not the case, CSing is not always the way to go. Sometimes it is, but not always. I would rather be 1/0/2, 2 levels ahead of my enemy with 2 turret plates down with the enemy jungle warded and controlled by my jungler, who himself is 2 levels ahead of the enemy, pull off a sucessful gank in a sidelane, have a plate from said lane and a dragon with 50 CS over being 0/0/0 with nothing of that, probably giving up these stuff for the enemy, and 70 CS.

[@trollymctrollface2376]

Agreed, I find it quite funny how poor good league players are at describing what they are doing in order to win. Totally don't buy this point, getting early kills denies farm, gives you tower damage and generally tilts them.

[@JoJo-xd8xv]

I think the hardest thing for me is wave knowledge. I don’t know when I should be slow pushing, fast pushing, freezing, or backing. Any kind soul out there with some pointers?

[@krystiangolus2841]

dont know much either, but for example before backing after a kill, try to push ur wave into enemy turret so he dont get to farm as much from stacked wave that was build up ubder your turret, ofc assuming he was pushing fast, this way u can save ur own farm because it will take time for it to reach ur turret. obviously u cant really do it if u have really low hp and dont know where jungler is

[@Lollaksyotuube]

Search for it on YT.

[@benjaminlanda8639]

If you have a big lead in top lane especially, you win all trades and can look to kill the opponent at any time. Don't push the lane into their turret. That way they will get much less cs, and if they try, it should be an easy kill. Works well with ranged champions often

1. Attack at powerspikes. Level 2 and 6 for a lot of champions. You can add Level 3 if you play Sylas. Item powerspikes are also a thing. TOP/MID: You hit lvl 2 after 1 wave + 1 melee minion. BOT: - | - + 3 melee minions. 2. ALWAYS aim for 70-80 cs at 10 min in. If you do not reach that quota; harrass less and focus more on minions. 3. Play around low HP minions, the enemy finishing them off gives you a chance to harrass. 4. Track ability and summoner spell usage. Trade after they have used high value spell and missed. Play it safe if you've burnt flash. If the enemy burned flash; ping it and track 5 minutes. 5. ALWAYS ward the pixel bush around 1:20 if someone else doesnt. 6. DONT STAY IN LANE FOR TOO LONG! If you kill the enemy recall; this with the exception of you being able to push the minions up a little and/or you need to do as to reach a power spike. 7. Recall and reset whenever the cannon minion is on it's way. Prepare for it by pushing the minions closer to the enemy turrets. 8. Freeze waves by either taking damage or by using the bushes to hold aggro while minimizing damage. 9. Remember to adapt your playstyle and itemization depending on your opposition. 10. If you play mid; remember to change your positioning in relation to the position of your wards and jungler. 11. If you are losing your lane and am at a big disadvantage; shut your fucking mouth and start playing safe. You shall not allow yourself to die. Let yourself get carried. 12. Remember the fucking control wards, and to ward in general. 13. Play around bushes to drop minion aggro and as to hide abilities. 14. This one plays into (8.). Wrote this as an option to freeze minion waves. 15. Remember to take minion wave sizes into consideration before trading. If their minion wave huge; dont fucking engage unless they are at low health and your victory is assured. 16. MAP AWARENESS! 17. This connects to (16.). If you see that your jungler need help with something like fighting over 'the Scuttler' or blue buff, help. 18. Do not go for turret plating unless it will grant you a powerspike in form of an item or something else. 19. Don't waste summoner spells when you know you will die no matter what. 20. Be quicker with using your summoner spells, tactically. REMEMBER TO ACTUALLY USE THEM. 21. If you are 2 kills ahead of your opponent; there is no need to farm them, go and roam as to help other lanes instead.

Tbh if you arent good at laning a quick and easy tip is to watch a wave management guide and practice poke based champions with global ults and strong push ability(xerath ziggs tf etc). Dont bother trying to actually kill them without jg, save flash to run away, dont push wave, and just keep them so low that they miss a bunch of cs, are constantly low health, and have to back constantly. Take tp so you can extend the lead even more and maybe even gank. Push when they back of If they try to make up for their behindness in levels and cs by roaming. People always think “oh youre 0-1 in lane? You lost lane “ and im like “fool ive got 40 cs on them, 2 assists, and a tower at 12 minutes”. Winning lane isnt just kills, its also cs getting your team priority for objectives. In fact, cs and objective priority is always more valuable than kills unless you are significantly feeding, like 0/3 or worse.

So the idea at 5:14 is when you get a kill push the wave under tower and base. This does 2 things. So first if the laner comes back they will lose some minions that means gold and xp and 2nd it resets the waves to either make them push to you or to neutral. When you do this you want to get it under tower so the jungle or laner can't freeze the wave so don't hesitate to ask your jung to help you push. They will be glad for some cs and you back because when he enemy laner gets back they will have had a chance to buy so its an artificial disadvantage you don't want to opt into.

Actually... I mostly agree to the rule, that CS is more important than early harass. But sometimes it is necessary to use your level 2 power spike. For example Cassiopeia has a really, really strong power spike on level 2, so harassing on level 1, with scoring last hits, gaining a health lead is important for scoring a lvl 2 kill or forcing them to recall early and miss CS.

For the pink, in top lane, I feel you need to be in control of the lane for it to be worth. If you buy a pink and put it in the river bush or tribush, but then you must stay away from your laner because you are behind or just weaker and it is immediately cleared, you just lost 75 gold and gave some to your laner.

There are some champions that have a stronger lvl 3 powerspike than a lvl 2 powerspike, for example Zed, Riven.

@@buds4ever58 yeah im also not disagreeing with that, because obviously a lane bully is strong with full kit, but the point here being that having two abilities(in rivens case 4 at level 2 if you count each q cast as an ability, so technically her level 1 is already stronger than most) against 1 ability is 99% of the time is an advantage, which u should use in general

[@longis7843]

Mhamster im confused so what is ur point on that zed has his powerspike lvl 3 or 4

[@nazywajmniev]

@@buds4ever58 Yeah, you got that correctly, although im pretty sure that Riven's and Zed's powerspikes on lvl 3 are better than their lvl 2. Riven is a champion that, maybe i can say it that way, has to utilize all of her kit to be the really good of a champion she is. She needs the dmg and dashing from Q, the small stun from W, and the shielding and dashing from her E. Her kit before 6 is like a 33,3%-33,3%-33,3%. With 2 skills she has 66,6%, with 3, and the powerspike, she has 100% (well, 99,9%). With zed, it's pretty similar, the only difference is the fact that you NEED all 3 skills to proc electrocute from range to trade more effectively. (And here comes the fact that zed is a weak champion and it's harder from him to win trades, even if he wins them the enemy has less cooldowns on their main trading abilities). So yeah. Im not disagreeing with the lvl 2 powerspike, im just saying that some champions have a better powerspike on lvl 3 than on lvl 2, and i thought this could be mentioned in the video. Also, some champions have better or worse powerspikes on lvl 6. Riven on lvl 6, if she's just a little good, she will almost be guaranteed a kill on the lane, or maybe even a double/triple if roaming botlane with teleport. With zed, there's a big problem with that champion, since his lvl 6 is WAY too big of a powerspike. Riot blindly without a reason kept buffing his R, which was and isn't in any way needed, since if zed R's someone on the same lvl, items etc., He will almost always be guaranteed a kill. The problem with zed in comparison with riven, is that zed's ult is too strong, and his abilities are too weak, and that doesn't balance it out. While with riven, all of her kit is, maybe even GREAT, all of her abilities are strong if used properly. And as i said before, it's not the same with zed. Zed ults, overkill. Without ulting, can't kill. Riven ulting, kill, without ulting, kill. Wow i have no idea how did a powerspike statement of mine transfer into a "why zed is weak" statement xD.

Go gank your mid, support your jungle when he invades. Let your adc fall back and farm. Trust me a good support ganking other lanes is just the best

[@mattiOTX]

So one thing I've learned after a long time of lol is kills are not what you think they are. Killing thr opposing lane champ is not for gold that's just a bonus. A kill gets you a chance to get ahead by being able to have uncontested farm and allows u to put them behind by denying farm into the tower. They lose on gold and xp. If you die once but you don't lose any cs then you are not really behind and have to avoid going into the mindset of "I need to catch up" as you will play more risky and snowball the tiny lead they have. Give it a few levels and make sure cs is close and you can fight on your power spikes.

[@stochastic24]

Re: point 2, getting CS in laning phase. I'm currently moving through gold and one thing higher elo players (you) may not realize about this elo is that generally by 10 minutes the winning laners will have from 5 to 10 kills, and 50-80 cs. I have tried the strategy of focusing on CS and when I do so I tend to get around 85cs by 10 minutes but that doesn't come close to competing with the players who focused on getting kills in lane. Unfortunately I think your advice isn't as relevant as you would think for low elo.

[@sophiayamagughi]

Are you either less than level 30 or iron rank? Lmao

[@Tenzu108]

I totally agree with everything on your list EXCEPT basing after a kill. Personally I feel like if you back while they are dead you normally comeback close to the same time, maybe 10-15 sec faster depending on the length so far. I typically take time to kill a wave and shove the lane into his tower so i won't lose a wave AND when he gets back his lane will be shoved. Between backing, buying and walking back you should be getting back around the next time spawn. If the wave is taking too long and your lane is still shoved it can give you roaming opportunities.

[@punisher9899]

The most important is learning how to play a loosing lane and that's how most games are lost entirely when they keep trying to fight when they are 0-3 and don't realize until after 15 deaths that"oh just maybe i cant beat my lane opponent".

Videos don't cover that kind of thing. What video, blog, website, etc can I go to to get that kind of information? Because to me, only very experienced players know what you're talking about.

[@RvzStealth]

I do agree with you that people may not know of certain powerspikes but generally if you know what abilites the enemy has and what the abilities do you should be able to have a basic understanding of when the champion is strong. For example if you know that leona has 2 CC abilites at level 2 then you should be able to recognize that she has the potential to jump on you and look for a kill. If you know a champion like Janna only has a shield and a slow at level 2 then you are alot safer and know that she doesnt have a great powerspike where she can kill you. This is something that cant really be taught and just takes alot of games in order to acqurie the knowledge. There are so many different champion combinations and different powerspikes for every single combo or champ in the game which makes it hard to make a dedicated video on that.

[@Valkaneer]

@@RvzStealth There are what, 141 champions in the game? People think a game like WoW is hard because of how much is going on in a raid. I use to play Wow, for 14 years I played that game, just up till November when I finally had it with the carrot on a stick game they've been giving us. So I started to play LoL, and ya some champions are really easy and just boring to me, but when you start to realize the size and scope of how many champions there are, and all the combinations possible you realize just how hard this game is. Wow doesn't have anything like a Lee Sin, Azir, or even a Shaco or Nidalee. Also, Wow has like 1k different apps you can use to give you the information you don't want to have to remember. Then you add in League's build paths for gearing, runes, levels, and your head starts to explode. So from a 14-year Wow veteran, LoL is one of the hardest game I've played. I have a long time friend that loves ARAM, and he tries to get me to play it, but I hate it because only people who have been playing LoL for a few years IMO should really be playing ARAM, there is just too much to learn for a noobie to even think about ARAM. But there are something you can bring from Wow that it seems a lot of low Elo players just don't do and I notice it because of my time in Wow. My buddy uses the preset Rune pages for ARAM, seems a lot of low Elo ppl don't Min / Max or even try. I spend 4 or 5 hours in practice mode before I even step into a Bot game, which probably sounds dumb because it's a bot game, but I don't want to waste peoples time. IMO practice tool is there to help you learn, and you should use it exhaustively. I would say that should be #22 on the list, use the practice tool. LoL

[@nekuchan900]

@@Valkaneer using the practice tool isn't the best way to learn a champion IMO, I think it's better to learn their kit in one or two bot games and then jump in normals to get good at it, and to get more game knowledge. And regarding the 140 something champs, yes, they are a lot, but it's just muscle memory, and you don't need to know all the details, for example I know lee sin has an ability that if it hits, he can dash to the target, I dunno the name, cd or values but I know what it does kinda

because first waves start crashing at 1:50 in top and bot lanes and you don't have 15 cs at that moment . Every 30 seconds a wave spawns , 1 min = 12 cs (1cannon per 3 waves ) , so you will need about 10 min to make your cs even with time , if you farm alone and don't back .

I knew almost all of these, most of them I got through thinking about the game myself. I do them as best as I can already. But some of them are really helpful for me. For example never paid attention to cannon waves differently than normal waves. It's a very useful advice that I will use from now on. And I know I don't use bushes enough, too. Thank you for the video.
