Master/GM player here, last time I was silver was in 2014. I'm mind blown by the first Lux. They even tried to freeze a wave. The level is so different from back then, lol

[@geli95us]

It's even more crazy considering that the distribution of ranks has changed, what used to be silver back then is now gold. The league community as a whole has really improved a lot

[@SubhanVasanth-tp9mf]

[@geli95us]

@@SubhanVasanth-tp9mf If you are talking about level, then, yes, but distribution wise what was silver then is now gold, that's what I was talking about

Actually insane how much work you've put into the website and all the resources available. Very good work!

[@garagavia]

Hi Coach Curtis, I hope this letter found you well. I'm very glad to see your uploaded video of coaching silver players for 2 hours, because I find this kind of content quite interesting. I hope to see more content like this from you in the future, and I will be recommending it to my friends who just started playing the game and are eager to learn. Thank you for your contributions to the world of league of legends. Weather is lousy, Yours sincerely, Lars

[@gcstroud]

This was amazing. I've been in the MLS previously to access the champ guides. Realizing now the huge value of watching other's coaching replays too.

[@Vortex_Tornado]

One tip to avoid missing CS like on the cannon at 15:27 is to left click on the enemy minion to see their exact health value on the top left of the screen, and compare it with your attack damage (shown on the green helmet icon page next to champ portrait). Ofc this isn't practical when the enemy laner is there but when alone, it helps with avoiding the misjudgements on the minion HP

Firstly I hope all is well. 2 QUESTIONS 1.)Do you have any plans to drop any champ guides for this seasons on yt? 2.)What other champions, if any, do you think y'all will be adding to MLA approved champions?

[@eric-ls1mx]

agree with the questions!

[@Kittensinabox]

Curtis is so good at clicking those tiny epic pen color squares

[@RushSteel]

hey man I just want to say on ur latest video ( I went through ur older videos for solo q theory and for intuition ect) that as a pokemon unite player, I legitimate found so much insane and relatively good advice that cross over to my game considering its a much more simple moba. I will recommend u to any league friend of mine because ur extremely talented in explaining ur thoughts. It's a great a gift and I truly respect players with the improvement comes in small increments. I myself avg 60%+ rank winrate and typically have 10 to 20 games a night with great sessions of high intensity and zero tilt on games I loses resulting in successful . Infact sometimes I instantly identify a crucial mistake I make and accept it and burn it into me to not make that mistake again. U are a gem and keep up the great work.

[@punkninjajw]

Im nit picking a bit ,but the silver ekko during the laning phase has multiple windows to push his advantage vs that Vladimir player, the basics of the matchup is if vlad burns w for your e and not get value out of it Ekko e cd will be up long before his w giving Ekko a winnable trade. Barring other factors that could happen in the lane, the threat of generating that cd disparity early especially when a wave is pushing in to Ekko should have made him hesitant on farming safely for a time. And again there more to any particular match up then just that but in his early game, its another thing he could look to capitalize on. Ekko E cd early is 9sec vs Vlads 28sec W cd plus his W has a health cost

[@throughtheendlessinertia1915]

Love you Curtis! Thanks for the Saturday content!

[@Shamanology]

Id love an updated Cassio guide for the new season

[@MakZkovich]

1:07:57 it's a bug that has to do with the buff ordering with Ekkos E. It procs on hit effects like hail of blades, sheen, rfc, previously stattik shiv etc before the actual E2 auto connects. Sometimes it randomly doesn't proc with the E2 as well leaving you with no rune. I reported it like the second hob became the best choice for ekko after electro nerfs last season, though it happened before in season 9/10 when people where going it in competetive vs azir and syndra specifically.

[@DerpedUpHorse]

The streamer LVNDMARK is addicted now and around bronze, would be dope to see a colab.

[@ztrept]

Incredible content right here

[@SeeMyDolphin]

14:55 Lux ult already procs her passive. Autoing between q and ult just slows down your burst and makes a negligible difference in damage.

[@giovannipaolo5650]

I am 14 minutes in and I am curious Curtis - this person clearly makes narratives (or at least looks for explanations and concepts (example: sometimes my cursor, sometimes I miss cs) so far in the coaching (14:00) you did not address it/call it out, or for what it is. Now I don’t have any experience in coaching league so maybe it is just intentional or maybe you wouldn’t consider those comments narratives? I would be happy if you answered this I would say question but there is no one question here it is more of a topic I hope to see you comment :) Thanks for 2h video man! Lots of love

WAKE UP SWEETY NEW COACH CURTIS VIDEO

[@sunworshipper6163]

Hey Coach, I'm a proud gold/silver jungler, moving up and down these two levels. And although I'm having fun, there's something not right regarding the matchmaking system, and I have not seen you address this in your videos. I am running a excel sheet where I record when there is a clear skill gap between teams, and I've been getting around 60-70% of games where all 3 lanes get absolutely destroyed, even if I feed them kills and secure all objectives for them, we end up losing because of the sheer superiority of the enemy team as a whole. Again, I'm not complaining, I enjoy the challenge and I am making the skill gap assessments carefully, it really seems like the system sometimes throws some players to the wolves.

[@ZaneDidIt]

The system ranks you based on your skill level not games won/lost. It matches you in favorable games if it recognizes you have the skill to move up. Also they will intentionally make your journey to your real rank a long and tough one intentionally to keep you playing longer. The more you play the more likely you are to spend $. It’s a business at the end of the day. Just keep progressing and focus on improving your champion mastery and micro/macro play, APM, etc and the system will allow you to rank up.

[@QuestionableFish]

I'd love to see more Lux content!

[@theholyroman6283]

Minor note at 15:05 is that Lux R applies her passive and consumes her passive

[@MIKAEL212345]

yeah, but doesn't what curtis say here proc the passive an additional time as well as the R passive proc?

[@francescoaprile5251]

Hi Coach, I was in the school program for a month but I was never able to hava coaching session with you. It would be nice.

[@arnovanroy3]

I wonder at 6:45 you explain to him to shove the lane at level 1. I wonder if this is correct? When you push at level 1 and let the minions hit his turrets, don't he get level 3 before you do as the turrets kills your minions faster than you can kill his? Maybe this is more advanced, but I think this is important to know?

[@christopheraledo5420]

if you shove lane and kill every minion before he can kill yours, you level up faster.

[@arnovanroy3]

@@christopheraledo5420 yes but at a certain point when you shoved so hard your minions end up at his turret and his minions are behind his turret, you can’t kill his minions fast enough unless you use spells and put yourself in danger. So if you hard shove lvl 1 you will hit 2 first but he will hit 3 before you do as you can’t kill his minions under his turret while his turret kills yours. I think this is important to understand! Pushing ur wave slightly to guarantee lvl 2 is better than shoving lvl 1 imo

[@fool9]

I think this video is great

[@infrared561]

I wish Nathan would do this on his channel. I miss YFJC series.

[@criticalrevel]

on the first review the second E, it wasn't alright in my opinion, the thing that happens a lot to ppl like us (gold for me) , is a mix of bad timing, bad aiming, bad spacing and bad movement prediction, all at the same time which makes us miss skill shots. i noticed this while watching him, 1. he aims the skillshot, first the cursor glances over asol but passes through, and the skillshot is launched to the side not on the character, and also, the skillshot is done too quickly (cursor goes to Asol then back to narnia in an instant) instead of trying to follow the Asol (bad aim). 2. *when* he aims he's way back, so his character inputs the skillshot, he has to walk to the place where he can actually throw the ability, bad spacing. 3. and by *that TIME* aurelion sol has already moved from the position he was before, when the skillshot was aimed. (timing + movement prediction)

[@yGKeKe]

Gonna be honest....posting coaching sessions on YT seems to work as good advertisement for everyone else in the space. Kind of surprised you haven't done this up until now. I guess it's a lot of work to edit them down so you don't give everything away for free though. If the Lux from G1 sees this: Using your wards might help you mentally to position more aggressively. Having the vision in river helps with confidence in lane imo.

[@louisadams2643]

As someone who has been in programmes before for all sorts of things-many of them do put all the gems out there for free. The real value of joining the programs is a few fold: * you get advice tailored to your situation speeding up the process (time is the nb1 selling point) * you feel ought to dedicate yourself to this goal now as there’s a financial investment aspect. Very important for the fellow procrastinators out there * the community. I cannot overstate this part enough. Being connected to likeminded individuals pursuing the same goal is utterly invaluable and can be life changing to many

[@elliotbennett3917]

Who would you recommend to watch for support role? I only see “challenger coaching” for support but there’s so little educational content for supports, it’s outdated, tier lists are for below emerald, and there are very few high Elo support mains in general. Most general education also sort of ignores support as well. I’ve been hardstuck Diamond for so long but am trying to improve.

Nathan usually downloads his videos when he does reviews, to make it easier to skip around and replay segments (instead of watching them directly on youtube). Maybe you would find doing that helpful as well

[@edwardelric2213]

At 2:00:58 what is the optimal desicion after taking into account that im vulnerable to ww .Do i freeze the cannon wave that is in my face and recall? Do i get that 4 minions and recall not pushing the next wave that is in my face? Or im ready ro face ww and i estimate the gank trying to pull out a dodge or an outplay?

[@gcstroud]

Q the cannon and recall. The rest will slow push in and be waiting for you when you get back. (Annie specific, could actually even have Tibbers hold the wave and farm the for you while you back instantly. Most champs would have to walk to tower first.)

Wow, silvers now are not that bad at all! 🤨

[@GatsuRage]

Ever since years ago when they put the stupidass tier of iron it forced the game to turn into like this, it takes so much work to get to silver/gold legit without any duo queueing (as a brand new player) that by the time u get to silver u actually know how to play majority of the game I would say 100% that silver/gold is the plat before iron was a thing. That's also why when u watch plat/diamond/GM games u see in chat a lot of bronze~gold players saying "wow they play like they are this low "X" elo". Tbh I wish they would remove iron but at the very least they took out the useless promos on those tiers so is not super hard to climb but still takes a lot of time and effort.

[@marouanechetoui347]

did anyone try MLA and got any results? and why is there exactly 17 champions in the website?

[@tiziosempronio8643]

Yeah man it's totally worth. They teach you everything you need but you need to respect their things (playing in blocks, sticking to 2/3 champs, reviewing) which is not easy but it's on you. For me, I joined in February 2023 as a gold player, in April I was platinum. Then I left for about a year, came back in March 2024 and in May 2024 I've hit diamond for the first time in my league career. Definitely worth double the price T

[@agureiodle2690]

[@TheDarkendstar]

Watching your videos I feel a bit weird on how you critisize low elo players it feels like your calling out things that are very obvious and big mistakes but that I just don’t think is the reason they would be in that elo a good example I feel like criticizing not being aware of gank paths mid or keeping track of your laner is really needed to climb at these ranks maybe it’s a bit different mid but from a top laners perspective other then being semi aware of when I’m likely to be ganked “I still get ganked a lot and well die to it” I was able to climb through diamond despite it mostly focusing on my champions mechanics interactions with the enemy team securing as much gold as possible. On the other hand maybe it’s sort of a case of I don’t know what I do know and a lot of things you’re pointing out are things that I just do subconsciously. It’s just a thought
