#CoachCurtis #LeagueOfLegends MID LANE FUNDAMENTALS EPISODE 6 // This video is quite an in-depth and complicated one, so make sure to bring a notepad or watch it over a few times. In this one I cover all you need to know about tempo, and the fundamentals covered aren’t only related to Mid lane. The same concepts apply to every role AND I even spend time breaking down jungle tempo. This concept is usually the difference between diamond/master players and grandmaster+ players. Let me know if you have any questions! Cheers :)

[@CoachCurtis]

Tempo is a great way to minimize poor match-ups AND create opportunities in favorable match-ups, so spend the time refining this concept guys! 🔥🔥

[@Grayard]

thank you by the way i have a question what is the name of your friends channel?

[@southpongsapak2833]

Vandren Nathan Mott is the channel name

[@Xerathiel]

when should you sidelane as a midlaner after laning phase? I am often forced by other laners to go away from my lane. Xerath for example would really like to stay mid so he can pressure both side lanes at the same time.

[@southpongsapak2833]

The work he puts in each vdos are like “wow”. he just deserves more *appreciation

[@CoachCurtis]

Thanks man , I wanted to make sure I really covered this topic well because I get a lot of questions relating to tempo. I also wanted to show how important it was for people winning games

[@anthonygrandinetti4320]

Totally agree. Really outstanding detail. Also, just want to clarify in case it is not a typo, but I think you meant "appreciation". "Appropriation" means to take something and use it for a purpose other than what was intended. Don't mean to be rude, just hope that's helpful in case there was a misunderstanding.

[@southpongsapak2833]

Anthony Grandinetti ahh yes thank you so much for correcting, i was writing the comment after a long day of ranked games

You deserve a million followers at least! I think you will get them cause your guides are soooo gooood !!! Greetings from Uruguay.

[@gsadmtp]

I'm discovering all theses videos only now and dude I was stuck plat 4 and I feel now like I have way more control in my games, with all your waves management/tempo/trading tips I feel very confident because I kinda realized that I can actually control what's happening on the lane only by looking at the minions, and not only by trying to out trade or kill your opponent. I'm getting way more cs/min, more pressure and feel like the trades are easy when you got control on the waves and vision ! im already plat 2 now and I'm so confident I can hit diamond or more with hard work and practice, reviewing my 12-15 first minutes of my games when I feel I did something wrong that make me lose control of the game. I'm really happy someone went so deep in what is happening in high elo mind every second of the game and why they have choices that's always better than low elo even with a single solo kill... Thank you so much Coach cortis, I'm really new on the channel (a month) but I'm already in love with your coaching content ! (sry for my english)

[@rossebaud]

Sooner or later your channel will blow up, love the ammount of value you provide thank you.

[@tomaswinnykamien989]

a must watch video. league should link your channel and make sure the player watches this series before allowing them to queue up for ranked games

[@nicogoetz3026]

This is something that I don't know to exist till I start to see your videos. Thanks Coach, for low elo players like me, seeing all this stuff in details helps to see League as a complete different game. A few weeks ago I was playing normally and then from nowhere I was like “this guy screw his wave, I'm gonna end this man whole career”. It was a scenario impossible for me months ago. Keep the good work!

[@Grayard]

Thank you very much It was a really impressive video, I learned a lot I'd Add something to what you said, tp is better than ignite when a player is learning a new champ or even a new roles, because it helps you to "fix" bad trades or even come back extra fast after getting killed by the enemy. Have a nice day, I'd watch this video again because it may take some time to keep all this in mind while playing x) not as hard as the enemy jg tracking tho hahahaha

Who would know that I was actually using pro strategies without realising

[@CHRoOMAX]

Just a note, oftentimes you're using genitive (5:54, enemies) which is done by using an apostrophe (enemy's, or plural genitive, enemies'). Very informative video.

[@fadeaway_gone2928]

This is so important! Thank you, Coach! I remember backing off of a tier 2 bot tower as a leona support, and I was pinging my ash to back away as well, because we still hadn't gotten mid tier 1 tower and dragon was up, so we had priority. Instead, Ash stayed for tower (she didn't get it), died to 3 people, pinged me for not staying with her, and then we couldn't get dragon because the enemy team collapsed on us through their jungle and we weren't in a good position to 4v5... and that was not the first time something like this has happened. I main mid/support, and I need all bronze adc's and junglers to watch this video. xD

[@CoachCurtis]

Appreciate you tuning in man ! Yeah me and Nathan are best buddies :) I think that the jungler should focus more on what they want to do and the mid laner should base with respect to you. BUT a jungler should keep into account lanes and how they are trading, because it can dictate if you need to come help or gank given how heavy the laners are trading
