Thank you so much, yesterday we were winning the entire early stage of the game, but couldn't convert anything so we crossed the 40min and lose to a late game Caitlyn. This was soooo painful XD

[@vsetho1437]

At 6:17, I guarantee that Kayn stood still in blue buff pit to flame his ADC for taking blue and then ran it down intentionally.

[@IcyColdFyre]

VS Etho I thought the exact same thing lmao

[@lordofsloth1944]

Wow, this is so correct XD

[@virkayu]

xDD it crossed my mind

[@MrJaime000001]

i just saw that and thought.... he is hella tilted now, that blue was expensive xD

[@darebrained]

As a jungler I can feel it. Like legit I don't mind giving buffs, but the ADC really doesn't need blue usually.

[@rick6011]

I can tell this is your gameplay and this is a low key way to throw shade at some of your team for trying to 1v9 or getting greedy.

[@virkayu]

A video can accomplish two things.

[@hiiambarney4489]

6:38 The only context missing is the chat, where Kayn said " ZOMFG TRIS BLUE, WHY? SURRENDER I FEED NOW GG " and went to run it down.

[@koussayabdellaoui8416]

Great video as always, can u do a video about impactful early game pathings after these scuttle changes, would appreciate it thanks!

[@virkayu]

Yeah I will very soon!

[@fakename2890]

I need this video thank you time after time as J4 I put all lanes ahead just for them to chase kills and never take any objectives and slowly we lose the entire game.

[@antonbelyaev8295]

Please make a video on scuttle change and how it affects jungle! :)

[@virkayu]

I will do!

[@moppitukka3253]

Well reksai falls off the meta for sure at least. Outpathing is almost nonexistent now. Its either vertical jungle if the stronger jungler decides so, or just normal camp cycling. Strong lv 6 champs shine here while strong lv 3 champs like reksai and xin zhao fall off. Ive been spamming evelynn now mostly since shes excellent with the meta shift, D1+.

[@burritogod59]

Kayn is a great pick again. You can clear 5 camps before scuttle spawns now. Scuttle changes mostly affect pathing and Tarzaned has a guide on it already.

[@littypug]

Hi Virkayu, I am a support main who was gold last season and spent most of my time this season helping my friend improved on league and didnt spend much time climbing.when i decided to start climbing on my new account "Lewd Pug" i began to realize i wasnt as good as i was during season 8/7 or i wasnt keeping up the same habbits. Recently i started to realize when i was off of support i was able to turn and carry games and when i was on support my teamates didnt want to listen to my shot calls and my pings and my wr (which was 62% at one point) declined slightly. After watching just 2 hours of your videos i have managed to learn so much then i ever did in the first 2 years i spent when i discovered league. (i joined in season 5)

[@kareemsaleh2037]

Dude you exactly know what I need like literaly I was searching about that and I found the video on my time-line

[@virkayu]

We were meant to be

[@leonardoospino3497]

Yo Virkayu!! i dont know if you remember me, i was the guy who achieved diamond last season as jungler, and your guides were really useful, this season while i was climbing in my second account I noticed that low elo players don't know how and why to force a neutral objective and there is no guide in any site about it, which usually results in everyone dying in barons fose or not doing the objective at all because they are scared of initiate it because one or two members of the enemy team still alive. by the way keep the good work man

[@dwdegroff7095]

First off, great video, really something that I've been trying to work on as a player recently, I have a follow-up question for you, in a game where there are no t2 towers up, and no neutrals to take what should be the macro call? just farm and wait for the barons and dragons to come up? or try to siege an inhib? Maybe just set up vision and take as much farm as possible? I find myself in some games where im ahead and have no clear objective to take, and I feel like I end up throwing away leads in games like this because I dont want to give the enemy time to farm back into the game.

[@Speedy-Rabbit]

this depends heavily on comp. If your team is mostly melee like a yasuo mid, irelia top, melee support, melee jungler, sieging is not an option. The 2 options then become to either 1-3-1, which is not always the easiest to setup in solo q, or to simply choke out enemy vision, farm enemy jungle camps on respawn and build ur lead as u wait for the baron. If u do have a good siege comp, like caitlyn xerath both, lux mid, etc, then u can try to siege, thou you do need to consider how much wave clear the enemy team has (you cant siege vs anivia even if u have a siege comp) or how much hard engage they have (if ur comp has no clear disengage/counter engage tool, then getting hard engaged on by the likes of j4 means u might throw the game so yes, there isnt a clear answer to this, it's HEAVILY reliant on your comp and the enemy comp and also the state of the game (if you're really ahead, diving becomes an option, etc)

[@jesseflint6948]

everything was good and i was following until trist took blue buff and kayn very, very obviously went and fed into mid to retaliate. he was a smart player and that was completely on purpose

[@YouKnowDougie]

You are by far my favorite person to learn from, thank you for this video I’ve learned so much. This was definitely a video for my elo hahaha

[@jonathanjones3170]

Really Helpful! Would love to see more gameplay analysis

[@Barnesofthenorth]

Whether to go for Baron or an inhib is something I'm never sure on, I tend to swing toward do inhib as you can then do baron more easily, however I've also seen people in the mind-set of if you take baron off the board nobody else can take it at least even if you end up not using it to it fullest. Are you planning on a new early clear video now our friend the scuttle is napping a bit longer? theres some champions I don't feel it'll be a huge hit to but some others that actually do kinda feel like its really hurt the early clear due to not getting the extra and mana early at a crucial time.

[@foggydefroggy7337]

Bold of you to asume my team will listen to my calls

[@virkayu]

I assume they won't, I assume mine won't, so I made this video in hopes more people see it so they will all know what to do xD

[@Culler94]

Good stuff, your videos have helped me climb out of silver and slowly progress through gold. Maybe one day I’ll get to that diamond level!

[@Vygrith]

Love your video's man keep up, hope u give some advices for top laner also if possible

[@virkayu]

so sweet

[@louisrobitaille5810]

How many people can relate ? I apply most of the tips in all of Virkayu's videos combined and am still stuck (in plat 4) because the team doesn't follow/retreat when they should. I play Xerath mid and have a 60% winrate on over 250 games. I win 15 and lose 20 LP, which explains why I'm stuck. I win most of my laning phases even against counter matchups (except a few of them like Kassadin and Katarina because they have the potential to one shot me and leave before I even realize they've jumped on me, since both have a blink), but I can't get a single team (mostly botlanes) that either uses vision or knows their champion to a point where they know whether they will win or lose a fight. I also usually get fed a little late (based on Zwag's videos) and thus I can't carry because I'm not strong enough to poke doen the fed tanks and adc on the other side. P.S.: Consider it venting/crying if you want, i don't care, the question is: do you relate to this?

[@Nagashitw]

Very good video, you're one of the most underrated KZbinrs, great content! keep it up mate !

[@frozengrain5465]

Ty this was a helpful video im kata main and i usually get really fed so much that i can 1v5 but my problem is that i didnt know how to use that to my advantage.. i guess im lacking macro to climb

[@zodi4991]

I wish every single players I play with could see this video.

[@deas13games50]

Can you update your ornn jungle guide for 9.9+ depending on when you do it? It's someone I'm very interested in now that tanks are rotating back in to the meta and I would like some advice. I saw your old guide on it but things have changed including pathing and items.

[@grimwar715]

As a fellow Warwick main. You've taught me so much with your videos and crucial macros on warwick that I wouldn't of thought possible. Thank you. One question, what would you say is the most efficient path for WW right now after jungle changes this patch?

[@virkayu]

Anything that involves full blue side clear, red buff and a scuttle plus a gank aroudn that. Working on it now

[@vegas9648]

Great how to video, defenitly giving me ideas on my how to do art page for 2 talented ink. great work 👍👊👊

[@chrishaugh1655]

Hey man, can you make an updated clear route video after the scuttle changes? I'm not sure how much has changed but I think it'd be good content.

[@EVERYTYME]

6:30 I blame Tristana for kayn's mental boom xD

[@nikolygtx8848]

I need video how can i close game, when my team don't play for win they play to collect as much minions they can

[@xoreign]

I need some clarification. When setting up baron, why was it a better idea to push up top and not bot? Wouldn't pulling pressure to the bot side allow for an easy baron / numbers advantage?

[@virkayu]

I think I indirectly mentioned that but didn't go in-depth.. but ideally if you have positioning, it's always advantageous to have that bottom inhib down because it takes them longer to rotate (and in the Kindred video I did last week, tehy did exactly that) but if a game is really close/vision control is contested/you risk losing the baron to them if it isn't played right. In the context of what I was talkign about here, if you have mid down, it's very easy to use those supers to siege/take top lane and use the double super pressure to fall back onto baron. Essentially, it's more a guiding rule rather than a law of the game :P there are so many variables/team comps/time in the game etc that good influence which is a better decision.

[@xoreign]

@@virkayu that makes perfect sense, thanks!

[@irainkoolaid]

kayn is SOOO mad at 6:19

[@virkayu]

so much salt

[@arbyaenax]

You say that after having the enemy's inhib destroyed in mid lane you can go and push top side with vision in the jungle and/or vision setup inside of the baron pit and so on.. Doesn't that need coordination? There are games in low elo silver and gold where people don't even buy control wards at all. Also if the enemy team has good wave clear doesn't that mean that they can win a fight right there? Basically all im saying is that i am confused about what to do after getting destroying an inhib or having an inhib destroyed. Can you share a basic idea that doesn't need too much coordination? Thank you very much
