I think the answer to the second question is yes. Victor has a q shield which can negate the damage of minions and it has an empowered auto attack that comes out really quickly (the q-autoattack comes out really quick almost simultaneously) and you can use your laser while you retreat. What I’m trying to say is that victor specializes in short-burst trades rather than a long extended trade so he’ll be tanking the wave for 0.5 - 1.0 second at most and to top it off that damage can be tanked by his q shield. He would definitely win that trade as long as he doesn’t extend the short burst trade with the idea to kill the ahri.

[@TheFormalCorgi]

Yeah I was thinking exactly that, I get the concept they're trying to push with that question but they should've used a different champ.

[@johnarchyrivera144]

second question is YES.

[@BartixShieldsmen]

I was thinking that the laser might have enough range to poke her so yeah not the best example

[@alexzhao4483]

i havent really played victor that much but based on my experience in playing other champions its almost never good to force a trade especially into a massive wave. If ahri manages to land a few more auto attacks she might even be able to kill victor with flash and ignite and with a massive wave crashing into victor's tower the lane will almost be unplayable for victor as he will be at a huge gold and exp disadvantage

[@burstmage6982]

I was thinking just q and auto and get away with ms if u dont commit is a good trade

[@ed1659]

Sad that season is closing to an end, rudely interrupting Nama's climb

[@doublesalopetoimcre]

and that leads to another lesson: don't start your climb 2 months before season ends. sure you can practice and get better but near the end of the season there are more boosters and smurfs (learning another hero in lower elo) near the end of a season. so potentially you get angry 'cos yeah there is another booster 3 games in a row.

[@KekPafrany]

@@doublesalopetoimcre I agree with this. And even if you are cool and calm, your teammates tend to break more easily, and it is hard to win a game when the team gave up and run down lanes or dancing on the base because they want to get out of the game ASAP for "let's not waste time".

[@Aynshtaynn]

Actually it doesn't. Unless the ranks reset immediately after the preseason starts, he can still, theoretically, continue to climb as far as he can go. He still has 8 weeks before the new ranked season actually starts.

[@ed1659]

I would love to see video about ranked anxiety. I'm strong believer of infamous losers queue, so after a good winning streak I'm really anxious to start another game, where no matter what every lane will be stomped with no chance of winning

[@raphaelnej8387]

i m strong believer of probability and you have a high probability of having a 5+ lose streak if you have a decent 50-60% winrate if you play enough games. 100 games for a 60% winrate 33 games for a 50% winrate on average i only play to improve playing to win is the worst play to enjoy the game

[@xdlol5386]

In ranked no matter their level or mastery if you are playing against them they are probably your skill level. If you lose more then are probably at your level unless you are in elo hell

[@andersony4970]

Hey guy, you're playing but not working. You should just have fun. Even if you lose your points, the game is real. Enjoy itself is much better than just enjoy winning. And imporvement is delighted just as Raphael Nej says.

Came back to refresh my brain and learn some more. I failed that first question about what to do after chunking Zed. Here three weeks later, and I nailed it. Thanks, SkillCapped!

[@jaketheboss9092]

2:50 I also instantly reacted with shove so that you could recall and come to a big wave possibly using tp. That was actually eye opening. I’ll start to freeze after poking out of lane from now on.

[@luigizheng3799]

In that occasion the wave won't bounce cuz ur wave is too little and the enemy wave is not near, so if u push u will have the minions crush in the middle, that's why freezing was the correct answer there

I wonder if you ever found out..

[@raphaelnej8387]

i remember 2 great games this weak : (plat 4) one facing the omelette flipper (predator singed) toplaner that was roaming on every lane every time, we got really behind in early but ended up winning after 25 min and a bunch of fights (1 kill every 23 sec on average in this game) one were i focused with my team and we won a close game versus good players using team coordination, very enjoyable.

[@greguk2]

errr ok?

[@DeMatzen]

I personally remember the bad games for a short time, but the good games for much longer! I had this game where i played Illaoi against a Nasus. I was able to kill him freely, while my team inted him whenever possible. But the game was great, because we discovered, that the Illaoi dance fits perfectly to infernal Nasus dance with his music! While our teams flamed another, we had a great time, with him getting ganked by 3 man and killing all of them, while writing "If you wanna kill me send illaoi!" These are the games I play league for :D and that is not a one time experience

[@Lirimmz]

Please do make a video soon on overcoming ranked anxiety, its what I stuggle with the most especially now that i've escaped gold

[@IceIsak]

with the victor example, i feel like u can still look to trade at lvl 2, ur Q grants u a shield that should soak up around 4 minion hits.

[@kintsuki99]

I had 3 games today where the team were all supportive of one another and very positive. We lost all 3 but it was pretty fun anyway.

[@ceredril]

Great Video! But i have a question: at 8:00 you see the "autopilot ward". Now the reason for me mostly placing wards in my mid bushes is that i dont feel safe enough to walk to the places for an autpilot ward. I feel like the only situations where im allowed to do this is after seeing the jungler somewhere else on the map AND being pushed out completely. Any tips on how to do it properly?

[@Basher252]

could you make a guide on improving on dodging skill shots? One of my biggest problems is for example Lux skillshots, i always think i am dodging (therefore not getting hit) but ending up getting hit, after 10 years of playing i still can't manage to dodge those. Is there any advice you can give me, because as an ADC main i honestly think my movement/dodgin abilities are holding me back a lot, especially in laning phase

[@nickms2365]

[@plastictrumpet6862]

[@OsoiYowai]

Someone can help me? Bc every time i know what i should do in replays..but in game I don't apply knowledge

[@omegax8423]

I would really like to know what champion pool u need to have in the Top lane. Right now i have 5 champs i play, Tank, Melee, Ap, Ranged, and Fighter (like jax ). Ist this too much for the begining or is it ok?

[@ThunderstruckElectronix]

What other champs, besides Orianna, is good to play if you want to practise punishing enemies mistakes in lane?

[@chinknee9127]

For the 2nd part of the quiz, if you use viktor lazer on minion first then hit her then wouldn't the minions not aggro you since you hit them first before the champ?

[@ragtagsnipse914]

I think the step further when talking about warding, especially in mid lane, is playing towards the areas that you have vision of, and play cautionary around areas you don't have vision of. So if you ward top side, play top side. Otherwise you might as well have not warded at all in the first place XD

Viktor's second charge of q does not cause minion aggro, or does it? I just q the minions into the empowered q auto and it never causes minion aggro, so I think it's tradable at the level 2?

this channel is great and helped me and teached me alot of things but the problem is : im still stuck in silver 1 and gold 4 for 3k games cuz this game is about playing 5v5 not 1v9 . i play supp and mid but i dont play the heavy carry champs cuz im happy with my champs but i still cant rank up . cuz this game is 5v5 and people in low elo just flames and blames and afk etc , even when i do every thing you guys say in your videos like ( warding for them - ganking - roaming - etc ) you cant win , so whats the solution

[@Arckedian]

So how is going to get to gold when the season ends?

[@jasonsheets3722]

So is the series on pause since the season ends? It's been 2 weeks and no new episode has been released :(

[@kaihaudenschild6535]

well it's quite impossible to create a slow push against zoe with her Q that one shots minions right (Or 2 shots at lvl 1)? i would have said you should push so she has no time to roam without losing the next wave ...

[@karatetournaments]

Just found this gonna use these tips to climb top lane :) currently silver 1 lets see what happens

[@annafijuliansyah]

will skill caped open training for lol wild rift?

[@zx6972]

In my opinion viktor can trade lvl 2 with ahri even though she has a huge wave, because viktor has shield and can proc phase rush easily to get away.

[@GORK3411]

When i want to try a champion i usually do that in draft but i still can't find a champion that i really like other than warwick JG does someone have sugestions?

[@astrophotographysometimes2303]

If you like a disrupting playstyle try hecarim and reksai. Reksai is more situational if the enemy team has a hyperscaling comp. And hecarim is good for everything. Also try sett. Similar to those two but like hecarim he stays relevant for the whole match

[@geoffreyep]

Whats a auto pilot ward

[@nicolasburton323]

For the weekly quiz#2; Viktor should walk up and use his e and not auto, this does not draw minion agro and also is a good trade.

[@Fr0mMorocco]

How did Nama learned to play with unlocked camera

[@christhis9597]

10:08 so youre telling me you want an interactive lane vs zoe? also, when would she roam if the wave is under her tower constanly?

[@vasilboev1383]

no, no, because she wants to fast push to make roams and stay safe from your gank setup, she'll do that. if you don't push but instead freeze she'll lose minions and be forced to stay in lane to stop your freeze opening her up to ganks. If you push then both waves will die and she can leave mid while waiting for the next wave. this question also got me since I have no idea about how zillean works... but I do play zoe and try to learn her, she's very good at roaming so I tend to auto fast push every game and just leave the lane asap. and when I have to go up to their tower to push I get ganked :D

[@netie4183]

I stumbled across this series and really got motivated to improve in this game but my question is how is wave control gonna save you from feeders and rage quitters ? I know these skills are the most important in the game but when you have someone rage quit or feeding like crazy how is going wave control gonna save you when you have a super fed enemy just killing everyone and your team isn’t cooperating?

[@codpyry]

First off, you won't necessarily be able to carry every game. Sometimes you are going to get 1-2 ragequitters and 2-4 feeders on your team at the same time. At that point you can't carry unless the enemy giga throws. But if you actually learn to play both laning phase and mid game properly, you should be able to carry at least 80-90% of your games, at least below diamond. And that is easily good enough to consistently climb in rank

[@EdgarsDrusts]

[@user-ix1sh3tv8o]

[@ninjakittie24]

How harder is going to Diamond from Bronze as a Support Main?

[@IOEUIE]

I got both questions actually wrong, the first case should you fast push vs zoe, I would say yes because id you dont she is gonna fast push and THAT allows her to roam. They explained it like zoe would roam if u fast push, but she would miss so much cs with that, besides zilean can very easily fast push. The second one was also yes in my mind because her abilities are down she has only aa to trade and vik can easily dmg ahri with Q aa E because Q provides a shield to take the minion dmg, you can immediatly walk away afterwards with the ms boost so minions stop agroing you Now is my way of thinking wrong? I think this is act pretty solid

[@KrolGaming]

this video is a reupload ? i've already seen it

[@wency7189]

Top 3 champions for every role 10.22 next video pls.

[@Aynshtaynn]

Plot twist: Nama gets to Challenger in 4 months while the goal was merely Diamond

[@MrReese]

Why would building a slow push keep a Zoe in lane? If she sees that you freeze to slow push she has time to roam and does not lose anything. If you push the wave instantly she has to respond or lose the wave in her tower.

[@infinitydesu]

After not playing any ranked games for the whole season, because of my ranked anxiety I thought I give it a shot to see if I can get anywhere near gold to receive the victorious skin. I ended up having at least 3 „hard stuck“ diamond and platinum smurf accounts on each side of the rift who all wanted to let out some steam on silver elo players and with the worst kind of behavior you would think is humanly possible, because they knew that their main accounts won’t be punished anyway. The smurfs winning were already pretty disgusting, but the ones losing on my team were even worse as they were trash talking the actual silver elo players for not keeping up. So yay I wont play ranked games ever again ✌️
