How to SLOW PUSH and FREEZE - Abusing Lane Control to Diamond (League of Legends)

[@patricks8611]

Phy, I would like it better if you put steps on the screen instead of saying them. Seeing the steps makes it easier for me to understand what you are talking about and it makes your videos more educational for me. Thank you in advance!

[@Icewulf1111]

I feel the very same , because sometimes I concentrate more on the gamplay , i really liked the examples with the lucian bc there was no action

[@papatzis4032]

Patrick Sainato i agree

[@Trk.1]

[@nelsonsxs3515]

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHA i actually laughed a lot at that E

[@ThePhylol]

Got a ton of questions about this so here's an updated guide on stuff you should be doing in season 7. :)

[@antfire1229]

Can you give me a example of what you explained in 3:45 got lost a bit

[@vreksus8851]

you shouldnt make guides because you are only diamond5, stop making op picks you go on op.gg and check what's the highest winrate this patch so far

[@strikify308]

Phylol great video Phy. You are the reason why I am better at adc

[@Dagon890]

Phylol leaving my comment to test my luck on the rp!

[@krisoaferina5019]

Phylol the only thing, I wasn't sure how to do was slow push. Thank you, so much. I wish I could play with you and get coaching from you, but atlas I'm from NA.

[@Rebel4ebel]

I main Ahri and I can't cs properly to save my life in lane, so this'll help a ton. Thanks Phy!

[@MrKissekotten]

only farm with aa and get some extra dmg through mastery/runes. It is easily worth some flat ad runes if that makes you cs better. If you wanna practice, just get as low ad as possible and farm.

[@Rebel4ebel]

MrKissekotten I take attack speed runes, but I'm probably gonna try adding a bit of ad as a start til I can cs better, thanks for the tip

[@CrossKiesha]

I personally enjoy taking some attack speed in my mastries for ahri. The first row of mastries, take the attack speed (left) instead of AP (right). The bonus AP that mastery would give is tiny (like 5AP or something late game) and is seriously not worth it. The bonus attack speed causes the auto attacks to feel smoother for ahri (imo) and allows you to dish out your combos better, i.e. Q + auto attack for thunderlords proc. Another helpful tip is to stand close to a seige minion, press W and aa at the same time. If you stand close, all your W's hit it at once, plus your aa would hopefully get you the seige - but those are quite hard to get with ahri sometimes. I miss them a lot. Keep in mind your W early game does no dmg, so you need all 3 to hit the seige with an aa. Also have to do it when it's quite low, or else it'll still be on like 3 health, swear to god that happens everytime. My runes are standard - MR / Armour depending on matchup, then the usual AP + magic pen. Also I can't cs with the arcade ahri skin. I just can't. I don't know why.

[@gibbz3034]

Love you phy, I used to suck at ADC until I started watching your videos. It's really amazing how much you actually need to know in order to play the game properly. Thanks a lot.

[@jrsmith1013]

I love these videos. I know you can't do them all the time, but I really appreciate them when you make the time for it.

[@bladenite8846]

"You Just Need To Use Your Brain"

[@ssongssak9520]

the wink HAHAHA

[@rodrigoexequieljuarez4380]

I already knew how to do most of this (exept slow pushing) but didnt know when and why exactly. Many thanks

[@kfirgolan1146]

phylol can you make now a guide about how to know where the enemy jungler is (what camps is he doing, how much time it will take him, how to know this, which lanes is he about to gank, ect...)? and how to play around it

[@RoyaltyIg_]

Experience and Watching your own Replays

[@kfirgolan1146]

that's a good advice, but i want to learn how to do it not just from experience - i want to know how to think

[@icedem0n326]

Early on you can count the enemy jungler cs .using this information you can predict his jungle pathing.

[@frexeldiba5443]

you could also think what you would do if you were the enemy jungler

[@RoyaltyIg_]

Kfir Golan After you watch enough replays you'll be able to predict where the enemy jungled is probably going to be just because you've seen it so many times, although this patching changes the higher elo you get, Jungle is a role where the more times you see what the enemy is doing the easier it's going to be to predict their pathing just because you've seen the exact situation so many times

[@Silvarin33]

Really good short guide Phy, alot of videos talk about how waves push based on numbers of minions but I haven't seen anyone say leave up 1 melee and 2 casters before. Very helpful!

[@Sugharon]

Just put this into a quick game and it actually helped me win as an adc and I never play adc.

[@sirencreed]

I'm realizing this is how the enemy puts me on tilt quite a lot and I never knew why. Fantastic video, Phy.

[@justluckyz]

awesome content as usual phy! keep it up

[@Johnnygitgood]

THANK YOU! Thank phy this sort of thing is why I love your channel. It's the little things in league that I feel like people don't talk about anywhere else, or at least I haven't come across.

[@davidgreen240]

Love the educational videos

[@toonphat]

I've been wondering about how to slow push a lane for a while now and this video really helped me. Keep making guides like this for AD pls.

[@uma7d]

Hey phy, been watching your videos for a couple of weeks and they are very useful, ty. I wanted to ask you if you can give us any advice on how to act when you are hard losing you lane, against a counterpick for example, and what to do if he is outroaming you and you are behind in farm etc, what would you do? Grettings from South America servers.

[@ozeangorgon]

Lucas Gader you want to farm safely if he's in lane and if he is roaming spam the warning pings 6 times and say ss in all caps in chat and if you're team still dies report them cause they could go back/ ward / be passive.. basically try and farm up to be as useful as you can and do your job in the team fight if you're a zed mid for an example focus the adc try ur best to kill them and get out u did a good job or whatever your objective is with your champion

[@uma7d]

ty dude. I posted this becuase i played syndra against a leblanc, i changed mid for top but she when after me, changed top for mid and again the same. Didnt know wht to do because i know i coundt do anything whit syndra against a lb.. ty

[@miguelangelpenachavez6248]

Honestly these are my favorite videos. The knowledge I get from this is beyond just a "thank you". Also these videos straight up got me back to being an ADC main. Keep up he amazing work!

[@ywl94]

8:17 you left 2 fighters and 1 caster minion alive but later on you said you like to leave 1 fighter and 2 caster minions. so which one is it?

[@ywl94]

great video btw!

[@PluxBR]

I believe 2 Fighters+1 Caster. The enemy minion wave tanks more and deals less damage (compared to the 1 Fighter+2 Casters)

[@WiiSportsTwo]

Why then wouldn't you just leave 3 fighters? Wouldn't that tank the most and deal the least amount of damage?

[@Marcoch327]

Si1ver because then the lane pushes and you lose cs under tower

[@PluxBR]

you CAN do that but then the minions would push faster than you would like

[@bradley6348]

Kinda did both of these naturally, but now actually thinking about it I feel I'll be able to do it properly at the right time. Thanks phy!

[@rickbrinkhuis8604]

i get a feeling that i "slow push" the lane because i cannot freeze the wave for some reason

[@Jettclass4ever]

it's not that hard, just kill whatever minion is going to die and let your wave deal the damage. eventually, both waves will flow together and give you more gold as time goes on, if you auto more and more you're just pushing the wave. only auto to secure cs

[@rickbrinkhuis8604]

i manage to freeze it for 2 or 3 waves, but then the other wave is crashing into their wave and then i cant manage to freeze it any longer

[@ozeangorgon]

Oplop 365 possibly being too agressive in lane if u gain minion agro ur minions are attacking his and the opponents are hitting you .. that's a possibility

[@zzxp1]

just leave 3 caster enemy minons alive were you want it to freeze. Tank the damage, or aggro bait them until your wave comes. The lane will tend to keep there.

[@RezZ0172]

Oplop 365 its also really hard to freeze when there is a siege minion cuz the damage from it is rng

[@firecats1017]

Thanks Phy! Videos like this are so helpful. The way you break things down makes them really easy to understand. Also shoutout to haste. I started using it two weeks ago and it really helps reduce my jitters and frame loss in ranked.

[@BsterScruggs]

Roses are red This life is a lie Existence is pain I just wanna die

[@devrimacikli1998]

Anubis what a timeless classic.

[@Pacho008]

[@sockfloats5868]

Yes

[@samuellinn]

You can't die. How will others die if you did.

[@darcator]

thanks man, I had a general idea of what these concept were but I didnt really know how to put it in pratice. Now I know everything I need thanks to you, great video

[@MrAnimeBewertung]

how bad is that vayne in the intro video lmao

[@blakewhittle6612]

You know Sivir healed to save Ali right? (Not saying she played that well but...)

[@piab94]

how is the vayne bad?

[@johnpaulcruzcruz4896]

her e LMAO

[@raydaal3265]

phylol thanks man this is what is needed. last few games i did i added these couple of things and it became easier for me to control the pace of my lane thanks man keep up the good work

[@aaron3984]

if you read this - have a nice day :)

[@devrimacikli1998]

Aaron Metzelaar ty u2

[@shadysaiyan]

Thank you for making such videos. You and foxdropLoL are the only informative and educational league of legends channel which I find useful. You definitely put effort and hard work in your videos which shows whereas other channels kinda remake some of your videos just to get a video up daily.

[@jayplunkett4150]

You are the best at explaining all the little bits of league, and keeping us updated on new reworks and patch updates faster then everybody else. Thank you and keep up the great work phylol.

[@J2000lin]

Abusing lane control is very important and becomes a much more deciding factor in diamond because of how well players punish and take advantage of other players. Great video!

[@coreydavidson7313]

I've always tried freezing and kind of got it working sometimes but didn't know why I was doing it, I was completly unaware of slow pushing so thanks for the video.

[@nickstewart3545]

Thanks for the video! I'm watching all of your adc videos to get better and I think I'm really slowly starting to improve

[@DiabolicalWaffels]

Hey, Thanks for the info. I main support and so while this isn't directly useful for me, its really nice to be able to recognize if my AD is trying to setup a freeze so i can help them do it. Keep up the great vids, you are my favourite LOL youtuber!

[@somefellow2]

I hope this video gets the likes and views it deserves. Genuinely educational content is underappreciated.

[@FondofVanilla]

Slow pushing is also really effective when you time it with big objectives. Depending on where the push starts, it will take 2-3 minutes to build into massive threat. Meaning, if you start a slow push 2-3minutes before an infernal drake spawns, the enemy team will either have to miss the wave, or contest as a 4v5.

[@aquadeno]

You're my favorite League commentator Phylol! I understand fundamentals the best when you explain them.

[@matthewmacdonald4770]

hey phy I know how much work goes into these videos and you did a great job, I found it really useful thanks

[@ohahmenuts]

Great vid, especial the scenario bout having to break off and stop a wave from killing your tower mid game, I always found myself struggling on deciding what to do when that happens to me in games, especially when behind

[@nathanc8420]

i already knew some stuff about freezing but this vid taught me a few more things i never knew. nice vid!

[@KnightOwel7]

Excellent and and complete summary, thank you. You do a great job with this type of video, keep it up! Consider in the future a video on identifying the right time to group or when to split push, etc?

[@swordfaith1782]

Good video about how to freeze and push the wave. This is easier than other videos I watched on KZbin. You deserve my like on the vid.

[@OgienChomik]

this explains a lot of matches that I had where we won the game due to a lane pushing without someone there... thanks for the vid, really informative and something I'll definitely keep in mind for future matches

[@TheVolleyballMD]

I was actually questioning how to freeze lane as nasus instead of just waiting for the enemy to push into me. This helped a lot!

[@NoTisMeSweenPai]

Its like a gift from above. Just last week Dyrus had a galio video trying to explain wave management (in his own way). While it was useful, this is much more detailed and easier to apply and the tip about slow pushing is SOOOO good. I hate morons in teams too but this little macro tip can really help me save their asses in teamfights and still pressure my lane. THANKS PHY!

[@LucRio448]

Thanks for this guide. One idea would be to do another guide on the "numbers game", like how many minions advantage you need for the wave to move in a certain direction (especially since this also depends on the position of the wave etc).

[@jim-hk6pg]

i always wondered how can i freeze a lane but no one really explained me how to freeze ... thanks you helped me a lot :)

[@_xenrr]

Been looking for videos on freezing land and slow pushing. Great video

[@jesiiii6605]

I love how phylol is very straightforward with his words "You just need to use your brain" lmao

[@poptv0123]

Much needed info. Been watching your videos for awhile now very useful. Keep up the hard work

[@nekomila3715]

I've wanted to watch a video on this topic but then this popped up in my feed. Thanks, it was really helpful!

[@Inconce1vable]

Thank you so much for these videos phy! really super helpful. I'm the kind of person who looks to understand a game and not just playing it to become better and your videos are truly helping me!

[@BowerB]

Thanks for the great vido Phy! Love slow pushing, try to do it whenever I can, but freezing has always been tricky for me, the info in the video helped a lot.

[@timwright4513]

Probably the biggest reason I sucked at ADC when first starting out. Thanks mate!

[@Nihonbo]

This has probably been the one thing I really needed a video on! So glad it's here

[@Gamezila584]

I never thought about using the slow pushing on the side lanes, I always juts hard pushed them. I think I'm going to have to try this now

[@noahj.2627]

Awesome that you finally reached 500k subs, so happy for you man. I've used your advice, wich helped me get to plat 3 from silver 2.

[@dahutba]

Thanks I didn't know how to slow push the wave before, hopefully this will help improve my game a lot!

[@Keoleon]

climbed out of silver through playing ADC, thank you for these videos because you are the reason i can play adc well and have fun!

[@Ishkablob]

I'm a jungle main that's been really enjoying Xayah but I'm not the best with this kind of thing as I don't normally lane so thank you so much for explaining all this!

[@Bumaa518]

Aaay the old phy is back with adc focused educational videos keep up the good work man

[@kias22]

Was a helpful video for me I'm currently silver 2 right now trying to get to gold I'm a support main keep up the great video

[@bruddatonko2601]

Damn, I was LITERALLY just looking up on how to do this, NOT EVEN 10 minutes later you uploaded this video! TY PHY for teaching me how to wreck bronze kids in solo q!

[@06cozmin]

Very nice of you to give something back in return !

[@joejernigan604]

I've been currently trying better my CS game so this helps me out a ton, thanks so much.

[@BulliedByBobRoss]

Thanks man! Just the "mirror your opponent" helped me out so much! I knew the basics about lane control, although not as indepth as you described it, but my hatdest part was to reliably get there. This should improve my game in lane by a lot (yeye, that is the reason I mainly jungle; don't judge me.. ^^)

[@ilovelol2642]

thanks man finally a video where i can actually watch how to improve, not just what i have to do but noone shows it to me :)

[@May9d]

Phy, have you considered making a video about dealing with certain support matchups? More Specifically, how to control the lane to beat a certain support, a lot of the time a blitzcrank or a thresh can control the lane just because of poor wave placement. How would you tie things from this video into beating certain matchups to help win lane.

[@Dex_Mortis]

Your guides are the best Phylol. Keep up the good work man, really appreciate your time you put into sharing your knowledge with us!

[@Fallenskyz2]

(Silver) decided I would try and work on my adc/main adc this season and this video is super helpful.

[@drobz7310]

Thank you bro your videos made me a lot better in adc and im succeeding a lot in ranked much love!

[@triffin123]

i've been waiting for this guide for sooo long! was not disappointed 😉

[@cogcheer]

100% saving this so I can watch it again before my next big league day! Been waiting on this for a while :D

[@andrewkillen2068]

Always struggled with freezing. Thank you for the explanation

[@LennardJaros]

This is JUST the video I needed, it's the point I performed poorly in in your prior video! Thanks!

[@oasisgaming7005]

you've always helped me become a better player, thanks for everything man

[@ryanmihalek7929]

I am an adc main and when you do videos like this, it really helps!!

[@ZurafaYT]

i liked how you explained it. now my top presence will probs be more impact full when i am behind

[@leethality]

What a great video to teach these people how to abuse lane and manipulate it to their use! I'll be sure to share this with everyone I know!

[@legnadarymage9137]

I'm a solo laner and I enjoyed this video since it'll help me out

[@christopherolson3112]

Very helpful, my lane phase has always been a bit weak. Hopefully I can apply these tips and improve👍🏻

[@TheGamerTVHD]

Your Tips and Guides are helping me and other people keep it going

[@TheMightyRubber]

Thanks PhyLol, been trying to move from mid lane to ADC

[@Wany642]

Nothing better than drinking coffee and listening to Phy

[@someguy6444]

I've been slow pushing since a video you released ages ago about just taking the 3 at the front or taking all but a cannon minion, its ridiculously good in low gold cause most the time they just leave it and you get free towers

[@MysterMystical]

I'm glad most people had troubles with what made me a Bad ADC, Thanks for the Advice

[@LetsArion]

Thanks for the video phy! It's one of the aspects I still need to improve and I guess this video helped a lot! Now I just have to practice it.

[@JTB69852]

I watch your videos legit every single day. Thanks for the content Phy keep it up!

[@darrenfernando4456]

Thanks a lot man. Ive been trying to get out of silver as an AD Carry, this'll help me loads
