Wouldn’t 3 hours and 50 minutes round up to 4 hours instead of rounding down to 3 lol

[@vanishingsoul]

It's satisfying to see Cowsep let his inner cow out once in awhile

[@Mikeyx38]

I'm a new Master Yi player and really appreciate these videos. Thank you Cowsep!

[@MaxKayn]

MUST WATCH VIDEO i dont play this game alot anymore but watchting THIS guy cures your boredom and just fun in general

[@MrNikelborg]

Thx senpai! I had a stressful day and I enjoyed watching this and calm down 👍

[@mariaklos1927]

Oh man I watch you from years and this video is so entertaining :*

[@BakedPotatoYT1]

Also, another tip is to watch your games where you lost, you feel like you got carried, or have done something wrong and look for better plays in that certain scenario like, "I could've ganked bot lane instead of clearing first and letting my teammates die." It helps a lot to see what you did wrong in certain situations that you could've done better for future games, that's why I review some of my games where I feel like I didn't perform good enough and it's also why I was able to reach Diamond elo easily even tho I stopped playing ranked games for 2 seasons straight.

[@rrutter81]

Seen your videos over the years but this one made me subscribe to you. I wish you started with a hardstuck iron account though. Your most difficult looking game was when every lane was feeding in silver.

[@Cowsep]

I got an iron account and I probably won't play Yi. Be prepared

[@genkithx]

For your playstyle bel'veth it's a fun champion to try, and if well played, she can still hard carry games! Keep doing this awesome videos!

[@Cowsep]

I like her except needing kills to use her ulti

[@Belginator]

One of your best youtubes yet

[@yuumijungle548]

2:54:18 so true lol, the more duos you have on both teams, the harder the games become, its so unfair as a solo player.

[@Esionaly]

Longer videos are good, no cuts and if you dont like the match you can just skip to other one.

[@Cowsep]

i should probably time stamp them more though

[@Esionaly]

@@Cowsep 100% ,its my only issue with these videos, otherwise everything is good

[@kurtiskenerson4617]

I know it’s a job for you. However, you make me want to climb. Love the style of videos

[@crimsonxiii]

The fact that you level meditate sooner also makes it so you are in right place right time more often when other yis would have to B... you are still ganking 🎉

[@MitchPiotrowski]

Choose Bel'Veth for your new series! Would love to see those games :D

[@williambreeze2659]

Thanks Cowman!

thank you so much for the video

[@Godlystriker]

I don't even play lol anymore, haha, nice video

[@andrewpace5841]

I’m curious as to why you chose to buy guinsoos as your first item in game 2. I just cant seem to figure out the decision making in that.

[@Cowsep]

I don't recall game 2 but typically if I got 1.2k on back its not bad to get a rageknife and finish off guinsoos

[@zachjohns872]

So, full clear, prioritize camps, enemy over extensions and mistakes, and objectives. How do you decide if you want to full clear bot-> top or vice versa?

[@Cowsep]

Pretty much always start red

[@germagla]

You should write down your thoughts about what makes Yi the most balanced he’s ever been (as they pop up during stream for example), then compile them into a KZbin video. Maybe with gameplay in the background for attention retention.

[@alfaphire1947]

Hello, I am new to the game and I am rerolling Jungle as my main role. I am confused by the way ranked works. I got placed in silver and end up playing vs mid to high gold as a silver IV, if I beat them I would think that is proof that I can hang at that level but I don't even get to move up a whole elo just two or 3 ranks, but if I lose one of those games and keep my win rate high I get 1 rank at a time. I feel like I am missing something . Is is necessary to win multiple games vs people sometimes 2 elos higher than you to show riot you are capable of playing with people at the top of your elo? Why not just put us in games vs people at our rank? It just feels like you get a very small reward for stomping people 2 elos higher than you but if you lose even 1 your climb takes a huge hit.

[@Cowsep]

Yep it takes a while to catch up to your actual elo. You can see in my games I'm about 8 divisions behind my real rank. It'll take about 50-100 games depending on if you lose a lot

[@alfaphire1947]

@@Cowsep I'll trust the method I guess lol.

[@Cowsep]

Eventually it evens out, doesn't mean it's fun getting there ;)

[@mumk]

looking forward for non-master yi ranked

Are all plat/diamonds the same across servers too?

[@elisiovt]

Someone know if jax can be an alternative for master yi players? if yi get's ban and i dodged already?

[@rrutter81]

i do jax when yi is banned. if both are banned ill choose Vi.

would love to see a unrankedto master none master yi climb. I dont play yi myself so I only learn macro from you

Imma try it to diamond later, next is probably an early season challenger attempt into iron to diamond into a non Yi climb probably

I am low elo, and I play games that Faker couldn't win if he was duo with Jesus. I'm so glad you're doing a low elo climb. This will be great.

[@Cowsep]

U gotta make sure u set yourself up for success, cuz you're right, if you put a giant lake in front of the road faker wouldn't be able to cross it.

[@kachow5830]

that screen tearing would be gone if u had g sync or whatever. 60 to 144 hz is decent upgrade but with g sync its crazy smooth edit: oh u said problems with g sync well yeah if u can get it to work

I dunno why gsync also messes up I think it might just be my monitor lol

[@ANUBASS]

honestly high elo players flame lower elo but alot of them are people who have been playing 10 years and know the game well and are either smurfing or just play casually so they don't climb, there is alot of idiots but also just as many people who hit near perfect cs, know how to control waves, use vision/roam well and dominate laning phase. even in my bronze/silver games I see people who are actually diamond/plat its not as braindead easy as most youtubers make out especially for newer players if they've just got level 30 and decide to jump in a ranked, the skill cap is alot higher than it used to be as the average players are better and more information available to them with youtube. I feel the main issue in lower elo is everyone's on a different page and will greed for what they thinks best instead of working together to secure objectives and group at right times, or just bad timing/positioning in team fights and getting picked one by one or the person carrying tries to 1v5 and dies before a big objective/when we need to defend giving them an opening to finish game. its alot like cs go, the games been around so long rank doesn't really mean anything cause it could just be a person with years of game knowledge who decides to play once a week or made a new account just to stomp people in low elo

[@Cowsep]

Gotta play a carry like Yi and get past it my man

[@uros1270]

This kinda makes sense but not quite. In like a bit better lower elos or mid elos like gold or plat this would apply, but if you are iron/bronze/silver u legit have no room to complain about the game, u are just bad (which is not that big of a deal).

[@ANUBASS]

​@@uros1270 I'm not complaining, I just play aram for fun, rarely play ranked anymore, when I do play I'm against people 2 divisions higher most of time due to mmr on this acc just saying that every high elo youtuber claims in low elo nobody wards, nobody knows lane states/how to cs, nobody has any macro and they are all literal robots with no skill and that just ain't true due to smurfs and people who played for years but don't care/play enough to climb to their old rank especially compared to the people who actually belong in that elo and just started playing ranked obviously a challenger/master/gm is going to shit on low elo players, that's like Michael Jordan going to a high school basketball game and bragging about beating 15 year olds who play for fun and then saying they don't know anything about ball because he beat them

[@bagboybrown]

But what do you do when your teammates are subhuman? I feel like every game is a team gap. These clowns can't even find the R key most of the time.

[@Cowsep]

Most games they're subhuman so you have to help pick them up by getting yourself ahead early. All my low rank series focus on it

There is nothing better than upgrading to 144hz from 60hz. Definitely do yourself a favor and upgrade your ancient 60HZ monitor to something more fluid and responsive.

[@Cowsep]

Caused me nothing but pain. I enjoyed and utilized 60fps great, now on my 144hz I can't even deal with under 160 fps I dunno if it's cause of my.monitor being broke or what but it's unbearable

[@chabbab6698]

@@Cowsep most likely the Problem is in front of the monitor lol. I have seen people giving you advice in your stream, did you follow through and tried it? One thing was turning g-sync back on to solve your issue with the screen tearing. Now I will five you advice from personal experience. League seems broken at high framrates. I always get screen tearin even with Freesync. So turn on V-Sync and limit your fps with an Tool outside of the game to 142. This eliminates both SCREEN TEARING and INPUT Lag. Dont worry your boy Chillzz got you covered.

[@chabbab6698]

@@Cowsep personally I cant use 60hz after going 144hz. It just feels choppy.

This is a new account... anybody can climb on a new account... do this on a hardstuck account. It's not happening. I also heavily disagree with the part @ 1:40:20 ... It's wrong... That's like saying get in the octagon with me, yes, I'm gonna smash you but you can do it to! There's nothing stopping you! ... Other than the fact I'm physically bigger and more experienced... Like no, no you CAN'T "do it too". That's the problem.
