I once played against a Diana that kept trying to push the wave under my tower, but me, playing Veigar, just held it right in front of the tower and wound up with nearly double her cs throughout most of the game.

Are you planning to make an updated video with the changes to the minions on the previous patch? I really liked this one, thank you :)

[@XXANDERALEXX]

I've been playing League for over 4 years and i never noticed that post 20 minutes all the waves have cannons lol

[@anasothman3884]

NextXander this is new only like last year or so, this was done to reduce average game time I think, also they made it if you lose 3 inhibs each wave has two super minions.

[@XXANDERALEXX]

Oh, first i assumed it was added with the rift visual update or something, at least i didnt miss it for as much as i thought xd

[@alveolate]

i've played for 8 years and i still haven't noticed this lmao. league changes too much too often and they don't really emphasise any of the changes. even reading patch notes becomes a chore sometimes FeelsBadMan

[@t3chn0dr0n3]

Just a friendly advice, don't try to do slowpushing on low elo, unless you're a splitpushing smurf yourself or you're 5-pre. You'll just donate 20-30 CS to the enemy who goes there and your team will take absolutely no advantage.

[@Sieni3000]

Well said dude

[@Trajce_Hybrid]

Il do it and than solo drake

[@V.o.i.d.v]

Can you please elaborate? In what way does this affect top? If I'm Jax against teemo and kill casters first, I build up more casters than the teemo, unless teemo kills me and clears. So if I'm Jax against a better matchup that doesn't kill me, say, maokai, and I freeze lane, then slow push, do I still gift him cs if I keep this up for 10 minutes? Because I feel like it honestly depends on matchups, but I'm just silver 4 so I'd love to have this explained in more detail!

[@Just4StreamingIG]

​@@V.o.i.d.v It doesn't affect top alone, in low elo, people don't know when to capitalize, slow pushing will only give whoever rotates to top lane a good number of Cs, Exp and Gold, no one will take advantage of that rotation and thus, causing a loss for you. Let's say you slowpush top lane, the top laner rotates to clear the wave, this makes for a 4 v 5 situation down at dragon or force a fight and take objectives like mid turret or bot turret etc, in low elo, they don't think that, slowpushing will only go to waste and give the opposing laner some freeby. Aside from what is mentioned in the previous comment, the only way that I see it working in low elo is that if you are a hard splitpusher like Udyr, Tryndamere or Jax etc, you slowpush top lane and have someone rotate there, it then opens a window for you to solo an objective like getting a turret or dragon. You can also use it to bait someone who is behind, the person who is behind will most likely rotate to the free minion wave and you can pick them.

[@123Coryboy]

"This lets your wave to clear throw the enemy minions faster, creating a large wave pushing very quickly" x2

[@pawsubly6805]

For slow pushing, you all forgot to mention how critical it is to successfuly get the objective after setting up the slow push because if you are to fail, you will be losing the xp/gold from your massive minion wave killing all their minions while they will have someone able to catch the huge wave. It's the same concept as taking inhibs and being unable to close out the game. While the info isn't wrong, 9/10 times in SoloQ you just want to fast push a side lane to make sure you don't miss gold/xp because the pressure of a massive minion wave on enemy tower can't be reliably taken advantage of in SoloQ. It's more of a free minion bomb present for the enemy team, while denying yourself. High quality content, if not a little misleading with "high elo" in title. This is mostly basic information.

[@Fremder14]

The only thing that is missing about slow pushing is that it has a huge down side. Creating a slow push gives u pressure in the map, but denies you from farm and experience. Slow pushing forces you to be proactive, because if you don't accomplished anything in that window of time u only managed to get yourself behind and starved.. Slow push is a double edge sword!

[@f8ed556]

finally. every vid told me what a freeze is but didnt tell em how to freeze

[@kilianprietoperal2322]

You should have mentioned slow pulling, which is the opposiste of a slow push. You can initiate a slow pull, go away to ward or mid lane if you can and then you return for a massive wave while doing something in another place.

[@renefischer7086]

I like the video, but it should also be said that the lose of the 5 extra damage to minions in 8.4 doesn't allow midlaners to lasthit with the generic 2 turret shots one auto rule. Some Mages can do it from lvl 3 on, others from lvl 4,5 or even 6. Before those windows it is not possibly anymore, making hartpushing a wave against a mage a living nightmare to them right now.

[@tadasvalaitis8089]

Yep, hardpushin mages now will win midlane even harder because of hard it's gonna be to last hit under tower and mana costly + free harass from enemy mid while as you need more autos on minions if u want prepare to last hit.

[@logant1990]

These are all basic stuffs that every Nasus player will learn on their own. ONE THING this video didnt mention is when your lane is pushed and the situation allows for it ( enemy champ just recalled to base or you simply got tanky enough), you want to stop the enemy wave right outside the range of your turret. This will prevent your lane from being pushed back and maintain a large pool of farm and stacks for your Q, WHILE you still remain in the safe zone and easily retreat behind turret if enemy jg ganks

[@TheLazar876]

True, i honestly was bad at CS and wave manipulation before i started playing nasus, now my average CS is high dia average. Nasus is a great way to learn to play this game.

3:00 yup that's definetely gonna happen in my silver game first I freeze than the enemy jungler (who doesn't even know what a freeze is) comes in to break my freeze and my jungler "obviously" immediately notices that with his superb map awareness and they pull of a perfect bot lane tower dive.

[@dakotakade3547]

Been learning about this stuff in Silver (I have a coach) and I had a great freeze going, and was zoning my enemy really hard. But my jungler wanted to hit 6. So, he decided to come top lane, and hard shove (or in this case, fast push) two entire waves into my enemies tower. Even smited my cannon creep. Fucked up my freeze, let J4 set up his own freeze, and cost me the entire laning phase. But you know, its not my team that makes me lose.

I'm confused. From what I'm understanding fast pushing is meant to accomplish the same thing as shoving; having a large minion wave hit the tower immediately. But why do you only kill the melee minions instead of just killing all the minions? Wouldn't it be more efficient to kill all the minions to minimize the damage your minions take before they hit the tower ?

[@V_2077]

I think it's to give more time for another wave to come so that you have a bigger group on the tower which will do more damage than a smaller group going and dying quicker
