[@jaketanner7961]

The reason Tyler1 bitches in lane is because he is easily tilted. I have Tyler1's EXACT same playstyle, except I started doing it in season 3. But in a nutshell, I don't play overly aggressive or try to win 1v1s unless there's an incredibly easy opportunity to do so. I do not like dying to the enemy mid laner or jg, it's super tilting and I probably won't get help from my jungler afterwards so I do everything in my power NOT to die as opposed to everything in my power to make the enemy die. Trust me, as an easily tilted player myself, I know for a fact that it's better to bitch mode so you can avoid getting thrown off mentally than to risk getting absolutely destroyed by playing too aggressive and then dying due to a gank.

[@sammyiel9626]

Respect. Being a bitch doesn't mean you're bad. Restraint is a crazy skill to learn.

[@tegansumei9772]

[@limitedbom2206]

I give respect for Tyler for at least playing different champs for each role challenge. He could have played irelia/akali top and mid to challenger, he could have played adcs in the top challenge. But he at least tries to pick the roles actual champions.

[@nomad7814]

Thank you for the great Video and I appreciate the effort put into it. Could you possibly analyze why Faker was previously struggling to stay in korean Challenger despite still being a very good pro player? I personally think that he oftentimes anticipates his teammates to play a certain way which they oftentimes can't and he fails to adapt to that in SoloQ, but I would really like to hear your take on this if you want to look into it

[@coupdegrace2767]

the dude is way past his prime, but still tunnel visions on that last potential trophy - that's a recipe for disaster. Regarding different gameplay, I believe Chovy had a very good interview, where he elaborated on how he is "constantly forced to play soloQ in a different manner" because of constant practice for pro-play.

[@nomad7814]

@@coupdegrace2767 He is past his prime but I think many people underestimate him nowadays. He still belongs to the top 10 mid laners in the world. If you look at his last playoffs in the summer split he had some really good performances and in the Regional Qualifier against Chovy they kinda went head to head with each other in general. Chovy had a game or two where he outlaned/outpetformend Faker but Faker did the exact same in the other games, especially Game 1 with his Kassadin. These good performances prove to me that he is still a really good pro player, which makes it so much more confusing that he struggles to stay in Challenger right now. But that is just my personal opinion

[@jackdyer83]

He's struggling in soloq because he's streaming every game he plays and gets target inted a lot. His professional play shows he can still hang with the best, and he's going to worlds right now because of it

he chose to focus on concepts within league that more often won games; fuck cannons, tp bot. his gameplay isnt holistic but he excelled where it mattered

[@LucasMaster]

he got challenger on top lane, where lane management does matter, so he will apply that on mid lane subconsciously... thats why he actually noticed that he wasn't so punished on mid for leaving lane, as he was on top to begin with

@@kindabad1383 he said it himself in a clip I watched that if you don't do well you just roam and in top lane you cant just roam, but I think the reason it works is because he played the game for a very long time and from 4 roles so he has an understanding of how to fight when roaming, and also mid lane is kind of a combination of different roles so because he played 3 roles to challenger already he knew how to play mid quite fast

tyler1 could be a way better player if he actually cared about it,but it's not like he needs to,he obviously enjoy the game with the ups and down and he get's his money without been very serious about it

[@annieholstadt2262]

I don't know man... your commentary makes a lot of good points. STILL THOUGH. "Tyler1 knows a Gank is coming bot from the enemy Lee from out of vision which he can Countergank with Annie by walking from base to bot and expect to win with current items, levels and damage knowing enemy Sums are down (which he tracked) because he saw his own Noc gank top" pretty much shows a genius level intellect/knowledge/intuition of the game. It means he was able to pan the camera around A LOT (catching the moment the sums were used) WHILE staying alive against a high elo Ahri for all this time AND getting his CS. Even if a person could do that mechanically, they'd still need the game knowledge/intuition/understanding to come to a conclusion that walking Bot is on the table. That's IMPOSSIBLE to do unless you're a god. Literally no one except a hardcore League addict/professional/genius with a lot of talent can even get into that kind of headspace and be correct. Randomly pick 100 million League players in the world and there's a good chance no one can think like that or come close.

[@jeremy8223]

I know this is an old comment but I wanted to say. Mobas are very complicated games and your right T1 probably didn't weight all those options in his head and make that risk assessment to understand why it was a good gank. However what he did do was take all that information in and decide to go bot on a gut feeling that it would likely work out. In my eyes Curtis was more explaining why his choice (which would normally be just troll) was actually pretty good. He was also dead before he made that decision so he had a solid 15 seconds of time to pan and think about his next move allowing him to go for a more well thought out play.

[@yGKeKe]

Tyler might be toxic, but he has a much better understanding of this game than people realize. If he wasn't always limit testing and tilting he'd be even higher ranked.

I remember seeing Tyler's Irelia and actually being incredibly surprised at how good he was. Even on pre rework Irelia. It's like his mechanics only show with her

[@SiMeGamer]

@@samseloo4962 I think that's because fundamentally Irelia demands high mechanical play to do anything useful with her beyond very low elo. He honed a lot of his mechanics with Draven, so it makes sense why he can be good mechanically. With Annie I don't think he is even trying and that is why he seems so lackluster on her. As a champion, Annie doesn't demand much of a mechanical skill to be successful. Obviously honing on her mechanics and micro will push you that much further but for his goal, he seems to be doing the most comfortable thing for him and it's working great for him :]

[@ickabob]

[@cfitz9976]

It's obvious Tyler 1 understands league of legends. That was established when he hit challenger and maintained it as an adc. But at that point i think you have a really good understanding of the game in general. Ie once you hit challenger in a single role your level of knowledge and understanding makes it that much easier to hit challenger in another/ multiple roles. That being said, i think hitting challenger and maintaining challenger are 2 completely different things. Like a Michelin star, difficult to get the star, much much harder to maintain it.
