This is actually the first guide that makes it easy to understand wave states and conditions during laning phase besides the standard pushing wave = roam or push wave = reset. Subscribed :)

[@edoh6381]

It's incredible how well you put all your high level complex knowledge into simple concepts you can share to teach, I think everyone is able to understand you without issues, you're talented as teacher!

[@achrislol9727]

I've been hardstuck master for about 3 seasons now, I really enjoy deepening my knowledge of the game in general on any roles. Thanks to this guide and your previous guides, I feel like I'm becoming a much better player than I was previously.

Daddy, no, Daddy? I am gold 4 for 1 season and a half. :( cause I start the game 1 season and a half ago. but this guide really helps me improve, cause i was silver 4 before, we all were right.

[@MrJermunaattori]

As someone who just started playing this season and is being thrown against mid silver - plat opponents because of my team being so much more higher elo than me, I've had to consume a lot of "how to" videos on pretty much the basics even. Most guides I've seen tend to inculde things like "see what this guy is doing, you should never freeze there or crash there" but they ~never follow up with "because..", which is the most important thing for me to be able to get the reasoning behind bad plays (which I make, a lot). This was a really informative video for me personally, because of things like hugging the vision, which I never think of, even though it's such an obvious thing you should be considering. Really looking forward to consume more of your guides, awesome work!

[@ShokLeague]

Thank you! Glad I can help people that are very new to the game as well, because sometimes I think I assume too much knowledge already.

[@Sluppie]

Right. The whole trend of, "This is a bad idea!" without any explanation is just really not helpful. It only makes sense to people who already know the game, and if that's you then you wouldn't be watching anyways.

Dude this is insane, I genuinly wish you too hit 1 mil subs sometime, cause these guides are insane

[@alexanderd8398]

In a ranged vs melee you mostly showed how to play when you have a winning matchup. Only a glimpse of a loosing matchup as corki vs ire. Vex is hard counter to yone, cass is hard counter to yone. It's good to see how to punish but it's way more important (at least for me) to see how to play from behind. How to win a loosing matchup.

[@ShokLeague]

Good feedback, definitely could've talked about it more. I did talk about this a bit in the Showmaker video I did so if you didn't watch that check it out. Maybe I'll do a general video about playing/laning from behind.

I have never really played Mid in my 12 years of league. It seems like the most complex role in the game. The trades and CS are so much more valuable due to the roaming aspect. It's making me excited to play again.

Hope so! Looking to start up personal coaching in a few days.

[@dendyds]

It's a very nice guide!

[@derrekingledue3138]

There are two things that I have either missed or werent in the videos ive seen. First, what exactly is a slowpush and how do you do it? You mentioned it in a few of your coaching vods with Zoe. Also, in one of the vods you advised him to practice his farming for 5 minutes a day. How would you practice this effectively? Do you just practice last hitting minions, or is it combinations of techniques such as slowpushes

[@ShokLeague]

Normally for a slowpush you just want to have more minions than your opponent, but not so many that it pushes quickly. Basically you want a 1 minion advantage normally, and then you just let the creep wave push as opposed to you touching it

[@Crovea]

Another question: How much does a potential scuttle fight at 3:15 affect your decisions to 2 or 3 wave crash/freeze when the junglers start on the same side?

[@ShokLeague]

Not as much anymore since scuttles are less important, but if they start on the same side you definitely want to just make sure you have some priority around that time in case there are invades

[@michanaruniec7004]

Hi Shok, great stuff as always! I main control mages and have some idea about opening the lane and wave crashes, but I'm always confused how to start melee vs melee lanes. Should I always try to get slowpush on the first wave and get level 2 earlier? Or it depends on the matchup, eg. I shouldn't even try in a losing one? Any rules of thumb you could recommend here?

[@ShokLeague]

It's pretty hard, normally if you are winning you will want to push (again for creep advantage) but if you are so strong 1v1 that you can win even without creep advantage you might want to let it come to you. Also some melees push really fast e.g. nocturne so they normally push even in losing melee matchups. It's kinda hard to give a rule of thumb for melee matchups and your best bet is just to experiment or look up the matchup you're trying to play on YT

[@safakkarakus3249]

Amazing video.

[@Crovea]

Fantastic video! Question, why do you not want to freeze vs talon? Is the goal to prevent him from roaming? will keeping the lane really do that? If the goal is to deny him as many minions as possible to punish roams then freezing still seems optimal

[@ShokLeague]

You can deny more if he does roam by pushing and taking turret plates, but ideally pushing means he won't roam. Talon is a rare case where his roams are so strong that he will almost always get more than if you freeze the wave against him, that's what I think anyway.
