This guide is insane, I've literally never heard anyone talk about most of these tricks before and they are super usefull

[@JDutch420]

specially the cheater recall imo. make sure to fully understand it and abuse it :)

[@LarutanAK]

Yep, people generally don't talk about these. I use most of those tricks everyday without even thinking about it, never thought it was "advanced" tricks lol

[@oxey_]

Another thing I remember from another guide I've seen is taking caster minion aggro lvl 1 if your opponent leashes then walk into a brush so one on your melee minion dies really quickly. Basically if untouched all three casters attack a seperate melee minion, but if you take their aggro they don't anymore. They'll miss xp and it makes getting early lvl 2/3 and a cheater recall a lot easier

[@martinturna197]

well, then you should watch LS, he talked about all of these and more over past months/years, also in his videos

I've always used the minions to check aggro but I never consciously thought about it. Same with hitting the buff from over the wall and seeing if it walks away from you, means an enemy champion is closer to the buff than you are. Rest was new information and really cool!

[@Krazymaddog]

I didn't think about hitting the buff. Thx

[@justinjakeashton]

@@Krazymaddog If you're jungling in your enemies' side, this could save you from stumbling upon the enemy jungler and having to 1v1 in the wrong side of the map or could help you locate the enemy jungler hiding in a brush next to a camp in case you were planning to kill them. Not all junglers have skillshots though.

Especially early on, his stack does a ton of damage, and you can easily get caught by his e if youre not distancing yourself.

Low Elo player here (one step away from gold!) - I just wanted to pop in and say thanks for the guides. I’ve knoticed my attacking game go up tremendously within one match. I say and think, my defense has been stellar but my attack game, has been sucky to say the least. I’m now able to stick to a lane and fight it out, make better decisions to keep my on minions while destroying others, and pushin verious ways more effectively (I love getting minions to follow me in the bushes while my minions cash a tower 🤣). I am usually trying to manage all the lanes in low elo because it doesn’t seem many players respect minions and there power. This doesn’t lead me to getting a lot me killed champions, but I like winning and destroy champs is only one objective. - I would like to get better at knowing when to help my team and when to not because I find myself trying to push a lane or two while my team is in a big fight. I’ve been playing Twisted Fate as support and loving it! I’m can be wicked as I jump from lane to lane and back down to defend my turret.

[@moezaic5237]

@7:10 I got to do this a few times... This is when you didn't push last wave fast enough and your intention was to crash it, when realizing you cant, the lane is screwed, so you die to tower early if no one has attacked you in the last 15 seconds and execute, you get a faster recall and movement speed boost back to lane and a great lane state. The clip in the video i believe was before the move speed buff on respawn was a thing, but due to the short death timer he should've done it anyways so he doesn't risk dying to someone else, or getting his recall canceled, or a slower recall in general (time going to a place to recall + 8 seconds + time to heal before leaving base)

[@abdusselamzahma7474]

Can you do a video about using fog of war and ganking from sidelane bushes as well as from the alcoves? I often hesitate if I'm in the fog of war or if I'm seen by the enemies, same when I attempt to gank by going in botlane bushes when the minion wave is pushed, then going in the alcove to gank from an unexpected place

[@ExcelarionEntertainment]

Quick tip: Just look how far you can look into the fog of war on your mirrored side of the map. Thats exactly the vision range for the enemy aswell. So if you are in the bot alcove, see how far the FoW stretches for your teammate in the top alcove.

[@abdusselamzahma7474]

What a great guide, love the freeze denial trick!

[@badgerzz9221]

There is another small but important one where u can set up a freeze with mirrored minions if you block their straight path to the lane by going into them or stand in their way. The minions will circle around you and delay their time of getting in range to attack enemy minions. (Doesn't work if you block the first 1-2 minions as they will collide more in your half of the side, which makes your next wave collide faster and start slowpushing) :)

[@aoidosgabriel2777]

Jungle creeps trick: hit any jngl creep from a distance, if it doesn't get to you, then it will start hitting a hidden nearby enemy. Also dragon although being hit by you, might occasionally start attacking elswhere, an enemy that is hidden in, say, dragon bush (Ocean effect). Another jngl creep trick is to leave one creep if you do enemy birds for instance, this will get the camp to not reset, and instead be stuck until that one last bird is killed. Another jngl trick is getting gromp with blue meeting in middle, or red and birds. Just be careful so they don't rest because of being out of their spawn area. Also hitting and walking helps you take less damage from buffs, and Q-ing as Master Yi when buffs/Herald are about to hit will help delay/dodge. Also for Herald, always hit the eyes that opens in its back, whether it be a Herald to be taken, or a Herald summoned by an enemy.

[@robynwadwadan4655]

I recently learned how to properly freeze the lane. I always freeze the lane on side lanes when there aren't any objectives to take, and in low elo if you know how to freeze you can see the enemy getting frustrated because I can easily deny them cs, they force fights they can't take even though they could've easily just break the freeze.

I would like to add on tip #5 - High IQ freeze denial, you dont actually have to walk through the turret to get this to work. if you position yourself just south of the top tower, close to the wall, the minions will walk towards you and give your minions space to walk directly towards the tower. This is much safer than what Ssumday did there if you do not know where the enemy jungler is

[@GSupremeOfficial]

Noticed all these on Dopa's gameplays

[@MrReese]

Ok what the actual F, I kinda knew quite a lot about League and its intricacies after playing it for 8 years and watching guides and pro play a lot, but I never even heard of the minion buffs with the stats...holy crap.

[@ammarkhan6883]

Make hector play with a eye tracker

[@dominik2825]

You can also freeze by draging minion agro and going to bush and enemy minions will be grouped and your wont resulting a slow push towards you. Works in mid lane the best. Junglers use it most of time after ganking if both mid laners die.

the last one is actually 400 iq

[@noob115]

[@stefanmlgpro]

8:20 but couldn't have malzahar potentially just recall after shoving in the cannon wave and then tp back? If he did that he could have secured a freeze on the next wave(if zilean pushed the wave which he does in this replay) and with Lee being around mid he could have used the freeze to set up a gank or just deny cs. Since malz has summoner spellbook he could have then picked another summoner like ignite exhaust or anything else. What do you think?

[@peterhorvath6680]

I'm not sure about the minion sweeping trick so much, what i noticed is that minions tend to drop agro (if you're not activelly triggering it, eg fighting enemy champion) as soon as your minions aproach close. So with xerath, i think that melee minion would still turn to attack his melee even if it was warded (maybe it's proximity based, if there is no agro-trigger minion will attack closest enemy unit in his lane, so if your minion gets closer than you are, that will drop the agro from you - messing the sweeping effect). I'll probably have to fiddle with this in practise tool to see how exactly it works.

[@katie98711]

that last trick will change my life as a support lol

[@andreascordier]

Where can I find These fundamentals you are Talking about in the beginning? I just started playing and every guide on KZbin feels like they expect me to know this kind of stuff alteady

[@themanidentifiedasdinosaur8138]

You forgot one more trick. Level 1 but you can do on any levels mostly on top, you would walk towards the opponent's side getting aggro before wave crashes in the middle. What this does is the wave gets pulled on the opponent's side which means it will push the wave to you without doing anything which would be able to set up a freeze eventually.

[@xarvi66]

i have used the sunday management in several games, even my team pinged me with the question mark xD
