this is one of the things in league that i never bothered to learn. and when people talk to me in game saying things like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING" i am like I DON'T. FUCKING. KNOW...... somehow still made it to d2....

[@adammaj619]

Curtis, im not sure if you realize how much better you are then every other coach. You are so good at explaining things at a fundamental level and you help everyone understand concepts better than anyone else I've seen. Underrated channel af.

[@CoachCurtis]

Wow thanks so much Adam really appreciate it mate, it's great to hear these sorts of comments sometimes. I'll make sure I keep doing more videos for you guys so you guys can climb and make the most out of s10 :)

[@dontrageitsok3739]

Big facts good shit Curtis

[@romerus6087]

I agree

[@mistercreep2002]

@@CoachCurtis i think the same way :)

[@MinecraftNerdDK]

well, he does say somethings that arent very true, for example 7:42 he says u need 4 minions to freeze a lane, but u don't because of this being midlane, because of this if u only keep 3 minions at full hp his reinforcing minions will come and then he would have a total of 4 minions 1 left over from the previous 3 casters therefore u have a minion disadvantage he is still right but not all the way right, however the way I said it requires there not to be minion buff on your minion (minions can get buffed throughout the game based on turrets and advantage

[@arkani7904]

Nah idc what anyone says, this man took hours of his day to help us learn wave management and I spent all 40:38 mins watching and actually learning many things. Thanks a lot man❤🙌

[@yibuh]

I've never seen such a good video about wave management. All the videos out there tell you just the basics and don't really get in depth and show the objective of slow pushing and so. I'm a jungler and don't really play midlane at all but you managed to make it so a toplaner, support or jungler can take advantage of this knowledge too. You are just incredible and a really good coach. Hope you are doing great with all this of the quarantine and keep the good content up. Greetings from Argentina :)

[@CoachCurtis]

Appreciate it Lautaro!! Thanks for the sub mate

[@rockseea7x384]

Am a dimond 4 player on euw with 61% wr , and i thought my wave management was good , watching you really makes me realize that am doing shit tons of mistakes , the very 1st guy that made me realize am doing mistakes .

[@CoachCurtis]

Appreciate you tuning in man!

[@krk064]

Coming back to League recently and being an Iron scrub, it frustrates me when educational league channels assume that their viewers know what they mean when they talk about freezing, slow pushing, tempo, etc and say things like they "don't understand how you could be bad enough to be in Iron." With this series of videos, you defy all that and have been giving me the tools I actually need to improve form square one as opposed to watching a bunch of theory that goes way over my head. Thank you!

[@Vaz_G]

You dont need wave management to get out of iron. As long as you know how the game works and are comfortable playing a champion it should be good enough

[@krk064]

@@Vaz_G You're right, all I had to do was play more and I've since made it to silver, but it was frustrating at the time. It's still true that if you're going to make educational videos, you should start from square one, though. And Curtis does that, which I appreciated.

[@Vaz_G]

@@krk064 yeah absolutely, fundamentals are everything

[@iwjfhaifn2950]

@@Vaz_G well go get out no, but to stomp lane yes. Even the worst players on mid lane just freeze the wave without even knowing it, making it harder to kill them

[@Vaz_G]

@@iwjfhaifn2950 freezing is so bad in soloqueue because the enemy has prio and can do what they want on the map while you have the wave on your side

[@neilbryanclosa462]

I really like when you start with the basics, and then slowly start the other pieces to make it more advanced.

[@the_beemer]

Yeah its like the first maths lecture where you go from being told what a number is and how + × etc. are defined to getting the roots of complex numbers in 90 minutes

[@hdmn4525]

As a jungler main I didn't really bother with wave knowledge but now I actually understand why 95℅ of my ganks attempts fail miserably . Also this series just makes me want to try and go mid for once. You earned yourself a sub and much love from Tunisia 💕💕

[@カネキケン-p1x]

This channel is seriously underrated. Your video on how to play Irelia mid extremely helped and now i finish games with 300cs 30min and an average kda of 10 3 7. Thank you for all your help

[@emileplante5595]

Thank you for this video, this is the best wave management video I’ve ever watched. The practical examples taken from your games helped a ton!! (Which other more « theoretical » wave management videos don’t usually use). I think doing in depth videos like this is really helpful, because one video of 40 minutes is way more helpful than 4 videos of 10 minutes only showing shallow examples. Once again, thanks a lot, best instructive lol KZbin channel out here without a doubt!!

[@CoachCurtis]

Thanks Emile really appreciate you leaving a comment like this. Means a lot to hear this sort of feedback. Glad I could help you out mate and goodluck on your climb!

[@xantos456]

I have been playing league for 5 plus years and watched hundreds of hours of coaching and this is the first time I’ve heard it broken down this way ever thank you!

[@HeyitsFlightJ]

i wish there was a channel like this for top lane

[@mandasmovingcastle]

I have never understood wave management because other guides never cover the fundamentals that a newbie who isn't very game-savvy wouldn't innately understand. This was incredible, thank you!

[@anna_aka_epicinternetgf]

Thank you so, so much for everything you do and for being so open to suggestions! The way you explain everything and make it seem so simple is a indeed a rare quality. I am very greatful for finding your channel back when it was around 3 weeks old, this is everything I needed and more.

[@CoachCurtis]

Wow you are one of the original followers of my content, I really appreciate that you have been following me for so long especially since my original pieces of content weren't that high quality. Glad I could help you out!

I'm a jungle main through and through, and this was oh so incredibly helpful for me. Thank you for the time and effort you poured into these videos Curtis.

[@exqplay4801]

Thx Curtis, that's without doubt the best fundamentals course to become better as a midlaner. Greetings from Russia

[@benbrooks7138]

That was a really clear explanation of tempo, so that finally is making sense. You demystify the concepts I've heard thrown around for ages! Furthermore, I paused at 32:45 and was able to walk myself through what was happening with the lane! If that were me playing, though, I probably would have walked back to the tower and recalled, or wasted time before deciding to push the wave and losing more tempo. In the next few days I'll try and pay attention to this especially. My wave management has already seen massive improvement from your videos. Thanks again!

[@CoachCurtis]

Awesome to hear Ben ! It can be a little bit of a strange topic to get your head around, but once you understand how it works it'll become second nature :)

[@yohanson99]

Thank you for making such detailed videos and giving a basic understanding of what wave management really is. Most videos are always like 10 min and don't show you the steps on breaking down a wave to understand what's going to happen!!

[@dantecaillat8641]

Just find this video by random and ended by watching the whole thing. I really like the fact that you put all your knowledge to help community to a better understanding of the game. I also needed to know more about wave management and you really explained a lot of cases and examples, thank you very much for your help!

[@CoachCurtis]

No problem at all man glad I could help you out!

Watching your content and truly digesting it and rewatching my own games has made me more confident to finally decide to tackle ranked.

Ive been getting really frustrated at my teammates for not being able to win lane as hard as i can, and i realize through your videos that IM the problem, Sure i can dumpster my lane but I am not applying the right amount of help to my team through good wards (your other video was amazing on that) and translating my lead into getting my team ahead. You are changing my narrow scope of this game to a much broader one and i thank you.

[@CoachCurtis]

Hey Curtis, this has been one of my aims with my channel, to actual show people that there is always more you can do in every game to increase your chances of winning and improve as a player.

This has helped me understand a lot, friends would tell me I need to fix stuff, somewhat explain but not fully give me an idea of what I’m sposed to do. This video definitely helps me understand owning especially that last clip where you explain the ori panicking and not needing to and why. Like I realized that’s how it be for me, I’ll semi panic and then get all in’d on. I appreciate the explanation and look forward to watching the video a few more times before testing it out 😂
