It seems like it was related to the "nonsensical gameplay" statement since the way he plays is counterintuitive to how 90% of the playerbase understand win conditions.

[@ClipFixed]

He’s being sarcastic

[@heikochujikyo]

Tbh I always settled the rule that 90 seconds before the objective you want spawns, wherever you are, you should be ready to back and go where you need to go (If you want to split, then you gotta be ready to splitpush at this timing) This way you can be sure there will be no wards, and i think that by the time you back and go to the objective, it is around 60 seconds, and it's perfect to defend imo. Moreover if you come even sooner (Like exactly 90 seconds before it spawns), since everyone tries to come at the same timing to drake or Nash, coming slightly earlier allows us to make some traps and consequently making them lose some strength.

[@dreamsmadeflesh1]

This is what I do as support, though my timing may be more around 75 seconds. But just doing that wins games on its own and creates a massive support diff.

[@heikochujikyo]

@@dreamsmadeflesh1 it takes (at least Iirc) around 30 seconds for minions to reach the middle of the sidelines, so Id rather have some more times, 8 seconds to back, being at drake at 60 seconds leave you 22 seconds to reach the pit. It surely works around 75 seconds, but you only have 7s after backing to reach the drake you see, which eventually is too short imo if you really want to be at the drake before the minute

[@thedarkdragon1437]

Thing about drake tierlist: Ocean is a lot stronger in teamcomps that need health regen. Chemtech is an exelent dragon to get for enchanter heavy teamcomp. Also, teamcomp with heals, getting two chemtecs is worth a lot more, since it buffs your enchanters heal and shield powers, as well as your own innate healings (Warwick, Aatrox, Vladimir like this drake in pacticular and can get hard to stop even with 1 drake.). This becomes less so in gold+. but low elo, knowing which drake to take is much more impactful, than mid tiers. it becomes impactful again in diamond, but only if you don't have 4 dunces high on vodka-coke cocktail lol

[@inhdung4521]

1. Pushing and then rotating = you have gold + exp while enemies lost those resources => you will scale harder >< remain your champion 's strong phase longer. 2. Pushing waves allows you to do other things while enemies have to solve the wave problems you've just made their life header and more miserable. 3. If things are neutral => push the wave to take their initbitor, even your 4 bots f*** up a 4vs5 inside turret range, you can still neutral or punish enemies for that Quadrakill. 4. Dragons for scaling, Herald is way more snowballing out of their control.

[@abonynge]

That Garen should have cracked the inhib. Baron was spawning in 20 seconds. Kled and Lillia were up, Sona, Zeri, Twitch and Lulu just died. They were not going to 5v5 any time soon and Lilia/Kled were able to stop Liss and Graves from recalling. Cho'Gath was not going to stop inhib from going down. Cracking that bot inhib right before Baron spawned would result in the best game state possible for his team.

[@mauriciobermejo224]

Agree. You can balance the game in your own favor by doing this in low elo games.

[@samwilliams0901]

Thank you for specifying that people need to arrive at objectives up to a minute before it spawns. The amount of times my ADC is farming top lane with drake spawning in 30 seconds, and when I ping him he says "bro it isn't spawning yet, chill". Honestly, I would even say that you should be at the objective 90-120 seconds before it spawns. The team who gets there first in solo queue will almost always end up with multiple pick and/or the objective, so the earlier you can establish vision, the better.

[@aratros2766]

i would even say that you should be at the objective 300-360 seconds before it spawn. The team who gets there first in solo queue will almost always end up with multiple pick and/or the objective, so the earlier you can establish vision, the better.

@@aratros2766 I think I found one of my ADCs guys

[@denisjecov3192]

It rly depends on a lot of factors actually. What is your adc champ and what is your top lane champ. Sometimes most effective sidelaner in the team is adc. Don't get used to generalizing things, try to analyze things during the game. Btw, the most effective method to make your team be grouped 1 min before obj spawn - is simply spamming the obj timer and type in chat "hey, lets group 1 min before to set up the vision", easy as that (ofc sometimes mates will ignore u, but there is nothing you could do about that, sadly)

[@samwilliams0901]

@@denisjecov3192 this isn't complicated macro, it's a dragon over a wave in solo queue, there is no analysis to be done. I'll make it even simpler for you to understand. Let's assume you allow someone to split top without TP for the first 3 drakes, and your team gives up the objective cleanly without dying - are you telling me that 3-6 waves andd maybe 2 top towers is a good trade for not only the stats from the 3 drakes, but the permanent threat of soul, including but not limited to the complications that arise (even at the highest levels of play) when deciding between soul and baron? I encourage you to try coordinating that in your games and see which approach gives you more consistent results.

[@denisjecov3192]

@@samwilliams0901 bro, if Im going somewhat like 3/4/2, my team already has 2 dragons, and I can take 2 towers and 3-6 waves just because the enemy team contesting 3rd dragon as 5, and I'm sure my team will kill at least 2 enemies - ill hella do it 100% because it will give me (and my team) as much snowball potential as none of drag buffs or soul threat do

[@mauriciobermejo224]

I'm gonna say something: A common problem in almost every game in my elo (platinum/gold), it's random people who don't watch the timing of all objetives. I'm a jungler, so it's crucial for me doin' camp and gank opportunitly cause i'm follow the best tempo of i can around dragons, Herald, etc. so when i failed, usually my teams don't get enough advantage by theyselves but when i'm ahead of the enemy jungler, i can carry 90% of the games but it happens cause i'm pending all the time of the macro objetives. If you really wanna climb, you must learn about playing around objetives, no just farm and ignore all.

[@KnoldogTooT]

Awesome video, love the channel!

[@TheZaMuRaI3]

tldr: Just be winning the game and every objective will come naturally

[@overrange5154]

I think you should create a segment, where we (the low elo players) ask questions, and you answer them

[@Andr2w8]

I believe that I will enjoy watching Worlds so much more after this video. I was clueless before this.

[@remmaps123321]

I think Skillcapped should make a video “How to know if you should go in or back off”. Because a lot of the time, what prevents many players from climbing is that they misjudge/miscalculate the odds of winning a fight. Like knowing that you will deal enough damage quickly to kill an enemy before they kill you

[@Densema]

Didn't they do a vid on that? I think they went with a traffic light system there where u should ask yourself if the light is red or green before moving into a situation

[@farisiqbal4233]

So what if my team is behind and we will easily lose a 5v5 but the enemy team is going to get the chemtech soul and we have like 1 or no dragon. Is it worth fighting? or do i leave since its just a chemtech like i get if its hextech or mountain or infernal but is chemtech worth it?

[@evanhiatt5606]

Losing drag soul is practically losing the game cause it gives a lot of value no matter which one it is. Worth fighting for no matter what

[@watchface6836]

I was hoping to hear some tips for Support, lol. Unfortunately Rell and Blitzcrank arent exactly great at clearing waves.

[@ignacioruhe427]

I hope my teammates understood this and stopped flaming me for not fighting every dragon. It’s more important to snowball so enemy can’t fight them later. And many times it’s absolutely impossible to fight for dragon and my team just suicides ignoring me. Dragons are not that important, but the issue is that if you don’t get dragons your team gets tilted and play worse.

[@silas5730]

Just recently had a game where my team wanted to get us the soul drake after winning a teamfight although baron was up as well. Wouldve been way better to get baron because after pushing we couldve still gotten the drake.

[@ignacioruhe427]

@@silas5730 and sometimes my teams prefer a third dragon rather than winning the game.

[@ignacioruhe427]

A third drag will be useless if the game is going to end before soul anyways.

[@mauriciobermejo224]

That's the problem of average players who thinks to fight every f*ckin dragon, even when they are under pression or low hp/lvl. In my case (i'm jungler), mostly i don't get up help of my botlanes doin dragons, and the don't follow calls or look at the map. That piss me off, cause there are a tempo to get advantage, and it's common to play with random people who don't understand yet.

[@Nilso0O]

i would not rate cloud drakes in the lowest tier cloud soul has the highest win rate if you manage to conquer the soul you can look it up on LOG

[@kn7892]

It's not about soul but individual drakes I think. They said to always contest soul

[@dragonmage372]

I disagree slightly with the Garen example (yes, my silver 4 galaxy brain has decided) because there were no objectives on the map for his team to take if Garen got three manned for overextending. The mid wave was all the way at his base, top tower wasn't really a threat. But I beg anyone who reads this to prove me wrong, because I'm happy to learn how to think better.

[@kaiz1845]

I think Garen being there gives the enemy team a reason to not dive the bros in mid. It's forcing them to make a choice, and frankly, even if they did get Garen, the subsequent teamfight wouldn't look much different because Garen is a trash champion. But yeah, on a more valuable teamfight champ, you'd probably want to see some pressure popping up on the other side of the map to go that far.

[@FirstLast-numba1]

hey tell me some things that someone who has played a month knows and pass it off as good advice.

[@trollboy2910]

Guys, I’m consistent….ly losing.

[@BouncingTribbles]

I hate when people won't push, it's like they don't want items. It's not even about "farm", it's literally your items. It took a buddy of mine years in iron before he learned how to farm at all. And when I tell them to go play ARAM if they just want to fight they scoff at me, smh

[@raphaelnej8387]

Pushing is much much more about vision than farm to me. When allies don’t push side lanes, enemy players becomes invisible and it becomes impossible for anyone in the team to go forward. Because whatever your cs you can’t face check if you can’t assess the position of your enemies, except if you go as 4 or 5.

[@lucker8753]

I’m assuming you’re in silver or gold? Players’ “Macro” need to adapt to the current meta, just like builds and champions’ skill sets. Current season extremely favors fast lane push and is intended to make the games finish faster. In previous seasons there were many occasions where you needed to hold the wave in order to safely scale to mid/late game to dominate

[@finnmeldrum7264]

Did you just do a voice acting gig for Takis??

[@SirButterlegs]

You can't say earlier in the video taking bot lane inhib is super important to contest baron later but then say giving bot lane 1st tower is alright. Taking the 1st tower makes it easier to get subsequent towers easier.

[@Powerlip11]

In a ton of my games, allowing their bot lane to take your tower first means they ignore bot lane faster. It's been rare as heck to see bot lane STAY bot lane after tower, making it easier for you to clean up the tower you didn't get, and maybe the second and inhib tower since their bot lane is elsewhere, and most likely someone else will try to stop you and clean up

[@denisjecov3192]

t1 tower is way harder to protect on side lanes because you will lose a lot of time and tempo traveling to def it. T2 is another thing, it's way closer to your base, its way harder for enemies to dive you under t2, and that's why it's way more justified to def it.

[@abyssalspecter93]

During that segment they specifically explain why each tower is or isn't as meaningful to the game state.

[@ivanpanganiban4149]

This guide is a bit harder to use as a support main

[@Iriask1]

great tip i learned is ward for your sidelaners, makes them more willing to push further, especially if you use the push ping, just like everyone else you dont need to group with your team unless a fight is about to happen

[@dreamsmadeflesh1]

To win as support, get to objectives early and ward around them. If they aren't up, ward around whoever is pushing the farthest to keep them safe.

The whole garren point isnt valid as the whole enemy team is mia. Your being a hypocrite to Kled if he doesn't die than you would.

[@raphaelnej8387]

Actually kled garen and mutually covering each other by pushing. If one gets collapsed on, the other gets a tower. But kled is an idiot as only 2 players were enough to take him down without him accomplishing anything. And opponents will remain mia as long as you don’t push to force them taking to wave. Kled could wait until cho shows up to catch the wave. He would then be safe to go ward the jgl or he could just stay ready to push the next wave waiting for enemies to show on other waves. Anyway the point of the clip was to teach players to match their pressure with that of allies. And it is an excellent advice as putting yourself in danger is irrelevant if you don’t have allies pressuring elsewhere. And not pressuring when you have allies putting themselves in danger elsewhere also is quite bad.

[@minecraftvsanimaljam]
