[@Cole444Train]

Really appreciate you highlighting a bad roam at the end. Getting different perspectives like that helps a ton.

[@miguelcmonteiro]

I'm not a new player but i didn't play for the last 6 years, and just returned, so of course i've been roaming the KZbin world to update may game and my Technique. I would just to say that you Coach Curtis are the best, the most generous, unpretentious coach of all. Great comms skills. Great job!

[@piquepique]

This channel is amazing.. Really.. I like how you don't just focus on how good your plays were, but also what you could have done better and mistakes too.. I recently started playing League and most of the videos on KZbin simply show how easy it is to master some champs, but don't show how difficult the decision making is and how to improve. Thanks man!

[@CoachCurtis]

No problem at all man, glad I could help you out mate. My pleasure :)

[@7ovinadventures916]

what a beast, i can name few content creators i can watch for 40+ mins and still be entertained while learning about the game the whole time. Thank you man, you're a beast

[@CoachCurtis]

[@fruxo4218]

I felt completely lost when it came to roaming, like I literally had no idea how to do it at all and everytime I tried it always failed miserably. After watching this video I can now say that you're a blessing Curtis, I have finally been able to understand how roaming works a bit more now and it's really making my climb better by far!

[@HeiZtneR]

Discovered you yesterday and the first thing I learned from you that I've never even considered on a regular basis at least... is the scuttle rotation at 3:15. It has won me two games today. I've never heard anyone talk about the scuttle rotation like you do and I want to say thanks. I have improved a little and keep up the good work! PS. Also, recommended you to a few of my friends and they say they love your content also! :D

[@CoachCurtis]

No problem at all man, scuttle fights really do win games haha. Glad I could help you on your climb. Thanks so much for helping me grow the channel, really appreciate it

[@wafs1393]

Coach, why did I not find your channel earlier. This is legit the first guide I have ever read that actually explained roaming as a midlaner correctly, thank you.

[@searching4skill33]

You have become my favpurite KZbinr, i also watch Ls and Zen, but i think especially your explaining is far superior to theirs (most of the time)

[@CoachCurtis]

Appreciate it mate

i dont watch ls, only zen and yea i agree id rather watch curtis, zen got the knowledge but is just annoying sometimes compared to this guy, quality content only !

Hahaha I'd try that's for sure but it might take me all year to get through the comments. Appreciate it mate :)

[@tableaux302]

Just picked up mid lane again and needed this to know when to roam, thanks Curtis great content!

[@loganpichon485]

Man I've just climbed from Gold IV to Platinium IV in like a week and a half thanks to your videos that actually are the best we can find on KZbin if we really wanna improve. I feel I now understand so much more things about the game, which gives me even more passion for it. I know I'm gonna climb even more, so for that, thank you, and I hope you will have the rewards you deserve for your hardwork ! Thanks again coach ! :D

[@loganpichon485]

And if I can add something, I don't know if it's on purpose but your prononciation is godlike, so people like me who aren't english fluent ( like the baguette I am ) can easily understand pretty much everything you say, and this is really satisfying :D

Can you do a video on specifically jungle tracking? It would be a great way to help people who are inexperienced with jg, are bad at jg, simply don’t want to learn the role or just don’t know specific timers and such to know how to deal with a jungler. Good things to point out would be: Common gank timers Good Deep wards and when to go for them How to/when you should invade an enemy jg What to do at scuttle fights/when you should expect one How to better set up your own jungler Keep the guides coming!! Super helpful

[@CoachCurtis]

You actually read my mind, jungle tracking is going to be my next mid fundamentals video! Make sure you stay tuned for it, I'll cover all these things in detail :) Thanks for the support mate

You cannot get bored of learning when the teacher is Curtis

[@CoachCurtis]

That's what I like to hear!

[@heatherhines8157]

wow I don't usually comment on videos, but after watching this and trying to use what you talked about I was able to carry 16/1/8 with fizz. This was so useful as I usually just stay in lane because I don't know when to roam. thank you :)

[@DestructionBerserk]

I discovered your channel a few days ago and I learned so much already it's insane... I've been playing since s1 but never took the time to learn about macro and stuff, I realize now that I missed A LOT of informations and a big part of the game for years. It's like I'm discovering LoL for the first time again. It's great because usually I would find this kind of video boring but you explain so well, and you make it interesting by bringing examples, that I can watch all these 40 min videos without any problem. I've always been a "casual" player but I began doing ranked recently to see how far I could go, and your channel is going to help me improve so much! So yeah just a little comment to say thanks for this great content

[@CoachCurtis]

Wow awesome to hear man ! Love hearing these comments where people say they have had their passion for league reignited due to my content. Goodluck on your climb mate. Appreciate the support

[@zichirichi]

[@barnabykilby-pollard3600]

Curtis, you are an actual legend! I've only been following your channel since (roughly) the start of the year but it's so great to see that you are really picking up attention and subscribers quickly! gone from like 2k to 10k in a couple months i think?! Also, I just wanna say (again) thank you: you are by far and away the best LoL coach I've seen. 0:25 sums up your really effective style of teaching so well - other 'coaches' will give specific examples and scenarios which I can (occasionally) repeat in my own games, whereas you teach ideas and principles about the game in a way that allows the player to REALLY learn, and even teach themselves at their own pace without a coach holding their hand every step of the way...

[@CoachCurtis]

Wow thank you so much Barnaby for the kind words. That's my goal with my content, to allow you guys to improve at your own pace without me having to be with you. Appreciate the support over the last few months mate

[@Patato12341]

do a video about what most people struggle with late game macro

[@CoachCurtis]

People think they struggle with late game macro, when in reality 98% of the players I've worked with in d4 and below struggle in the first 20 minutes of the game, and the information they learn here allows them to understand their role better, which in turn gives them the knowledge to operate 30 mins+ effectively. I covered most of the macro topics within my mid game macro video, but I can see what I can do.

Can you talk about life stuff? Like how important sleep is / how many games a day to practice (learning from youtube guides or just analyze your own / pros games?) Idk if you remember me but im a masters player and recently dropped to d2 and i cany even play on my plat acc. It dropped from p1 to p4 in 2 days. Honestly an in depth guide on how to focus league while living healthy would be insane. Anyways keep up the good work we all appriciate it!

[@miroslav7836]

I have one question. If i am forced to recall with 1200 gold or something like that in mage match up something like ori vs lux is it worth to sell d ring for lost chapter or just buy second d ring, ref pot, dark seal boots or just buy as much components of lost chapter as i can

[@Blackfrog67]

Than you have to assess your hp , the tempo is there an objective bot, your wave management, depends on a lot of stuff

[@CoachCurtis]

Never sell your DRing that early on, I'd buy a refillable/darkseal + amp tomb. Sometimes against skill shot matchups I like even rushing tier 2 boots like Mercs. But never sell dorans that early

[@NocturnalNugget2]

@@CoachCurtis when is it okay to sell Dorans when its the difference between a getting a item and not getting a item? like for completed second or third item? or for some components that offer greater stats than dorans for those second or third items? would it be around the time that you start autoing a lot less and let your abilities do most of the waveclear?

[@korsakov319]

Hey curtis, i just wanted to ask a video explainning how to deal with scaling champions, like vlad o kassadin... which become a big factor in teamfights (insta deleting your whole backlack xD) how game dinamic would be optimal for no getting to that point, and how to punish properly the scaling champ farming safely (i mean, roam, but in case of not getting anything good from roaming)

[@CoachCurtis]

Hey Augusto, I have a few videos on that in my channel already, but all through the lenses of specific champs. I like to have speciifc examples, e.g 'zoe into vlad or orianna into kassadin' because it changes matchup to matchup

[@falsepanda2981]

Until he does, I'd recommend watching Katlife - he isn't nearly as informative all the time (like, he doesn't explain every moment of the game since his videos are mostly live commentary rather than VOD reviews), but there's a lot to learn there.

[@namnguyen-co2ny]

thanks !!

[@CoachCurtis]

I'll probs do Kat in the future, but not for a while because I've never played her before and she isn't my type of champ

[@gliderism]

Most trouble I have is relying too much on help on taking down the mid tower when I roam alot as fizz. Fizz seems hard to take down turrets alone without the help of a jungler.

[@CoachCurtis]

My main piece of advice with Fizz, is once you're ahead try and get your jg to start doing rift heralds so you can slowly begin to break towers and break open the map

[@yoelunzue2549]

GRACIAS CURTIS

[@matiasrebori9025]

Good video and nice examples, although i would like to see the fundamentals of roaming like when and how to roam, path for avoiding possible wards, amount of time i can waste on the roam, after the roam I base or back to lane, etc. This is just a commentary for improve your videos and maybe you dont have many low elo players and thats why you dont add this content. To finish i thank you for taking the time to made this videos and i would appreciate a tempo video because i cant find anything

Can you do Macro play for your next mid lane fundamentals video?

[@CoachCurtis]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3TMq2CuZ5Z6qbM this might help you in the mean time

[@plushie693]

I have a question. If the enemy mid is out of lane (back/roaming), when is it more worth it to just stay in lane and get some turret platings, or how to determine if it's more worth to go roam/follow or just shove the wave and get some free gold from the platings? Super useful video all around though!

[@CoachCurtis]

Well this ties into 2 things.. 1) Champ identity - Does you champ thrive in river fights? Is your champ good at cleaning up? Is your champ able to even walk into river without getting turned on? Is your champ at key spikes? etc 2) Skirmish awareness- How long will the fight go for? Who has summoners? etc etc

[@himzi1]

Will you do guides for ADC later on

[@CoachCurtis]

Unfortunately I won't be doing anything with ADC
