Man i have to tell you, i was searching for bunchs of videos about TopLane coaching and you are the person who's actually has a useful content, i am learning things that i never think that's exist. Thanks so much

[@fioragaming19]

Also another thing which should be obvious is: if you want to optimize dshield (+second wind) healing, you should wait for that timer to end AND THEN use any other type of healing such as pots or champion specific (Kayle W most common situation), since dshield heals based on missing hp.

[@adamvaculka3210]

you are the first person on youtube who have really good coaching videos and I like them the most

[@bamusalako]

you have so insane quality toplane coaching content, its fantastic how much is covered in your channel alone, im so hyped now to learn the lane for real now because i suck xD

[@InHeartsWake.]

Okay I had absolutely no deep thought process about this at all. I have tried it now a few times and my god does it make a difference, thank you for this. Take my upvote and sub legend.

[@ayaanparkar5377]

I'm a level 50 top lane main. My first match against a vayne was hell. This is definitely going to help.

[@thecroatianlad882]

I am wondering are you still playing? And what level are you?

[@CodAddict324]

🔥

[@KingprosBr]

People haven't talked about it but it is known

[@kenshi4296]

Verry well explained i have a friend who is unranked irellia main and obviously likes stuff like yone and yasuo, Soo he often complains why he's losing vs some champions. Besides that he has a pretty good idea on what he is supposed to do and what his job overral as a toplaner is with macro etc but his mechanics oh boy. Can you make any videos for players like this ?

[@daio3752]

Ty maan ❤🔥 And more coaching for sett plz or top laners should play to improve🔥❤

[@yas.12]

I otp shen Top. Thanks for the advice

[@yas.12]

I'm hard stock bronze 2. Can you help?

[@EragonUK]

@@yas.12 I can't magically get you to climb, but if you have any general questions I can answer them

[@yas.12]

I watch Neace a lot. All his coaching videos have been helpful. I don't know if it's shen Top or I'm not that good yet. I'm just not able to make it out of b2

[@EragonUK]

@@yas.12 If you're stuck in your elo it's never the champion. People get to challenger playing every champion. You are just not carrying hard enough. Watch Shending help's stream or Xpetu and learn how they carry on Shen.

👌 useful stuff right there

[@nolancao2878]

[@EragonUK]

What I dont get is that if all im doing is standing around taking bare minimum scraps of CS and waiting for regen how am I ever supposed to win a game from doing that? Everyone talks about how to not take to much damage or int in the ranged vs melee top matchup, but thats not the issue I feel. The issue is that from playing so passively from giving up so much CS from taking so little risks how am I ever supposed to get myself into a position where I can carry a game?

[@thebasedjarrod]

but you aren't playing passively, you're just playing around an 8 second timer. It's natural to give up CS, but as long as you take what you're able to get and understand what CS you can go for and what CS might cost you your life, then you shouldn't be giving up a whole lot of gold, and you should still be getting the XP to stay on level with your laner. And side note, you can't always be the carry. It's a team game, and sometimes you'll just have to do enough to help get someone else on your team ahead safely, or just make sure your enemy isn't strong enough to eventually carry for their team.

[@mola5asatmobarayat]

got my sub

[@CosmicGeckoBR]

Not complaining but... isn't this obvious? I would always try to have dshield and second wind regenerating HP for me in these match ups and trying not to take damage while it is already running because it would just make you loose the regen it's giving you by refreshing it. Like as mostly a GP main I'm on the other end of the stick and I know that shooting a Q will heal them a lot of HP so it's not worth to just spam it early on because they will just regen a lot of the damage with Dshield, but it is worth it to land a AA barrel and then shoot them because you are basically negating a whole Dshield regen with the Q, stuff like that. Basically that Q deals up to 40 extra damage in a way, because you are negating that healing. Like it's a really good video, i'm not complaining, I just really thought this was an obvious thing and everybody did it and knew about it, but from the comments it seems nobody had any idea.

[@EragonUK]

I agree, I wasn't going to post it but I was speaking to a master top and it really shocked him so I figured others might not know. I feel as if it's definitely something that once you hear, it's very obvious but might not think it initially.

[@giannisperson3978]

My question is how much CS would you be willing to give up while D shield is regenerating? Cause many aggro ranged players won't let you touch farm even under turret.

[@EragonUK]

It depends on too many things, you have to weigh up how much hp that cs is worth. Then sometimes your hp is worth more for example if you are scared of being dived you need more hp. Too general. You just have to weigh up how muc that cs is worth.

[@wassup4532]

It depends on the elo and your win condition. If you are in low elo you can greed for many cs because you are not likely gonna get hardpunished. If you have to be the carry in a game because your team is terrible you have to play riskier as well. Otherwise the game will be over and you are not gonna kill the enemy fed laners. A tip that isnt mentioned in melee vs ranged matchups is to use bushes as the melee a lot, not only because it gives the enemy less reaction time to punish you when you cs but because you can force them to ward the bush and be more exposed for ganks. It is also really good for trading/all ins because the enemy will have to facecheck the bush to damage you which lets you save your gapcloser or guarantee your cc.
