[@tynne3710]

what i find most annoying is the enemy midlane roaming without pushing, but your team is so dumb that he gets kills and the game is doomed and it doesn't matter if he loses cs anyways

[@thecoffeecurator]

thats what we call high risk high reward roams. the best way to punish this is by freezing the wave and denying minions or by pushing into tower. with good communication his roam fails and you get a plate or two. the third option is to match the roam, you recognize team isnt listening and you follow up the roam. in those situations i like to use my team as bait for them and get the counter gank rather then matching straight up

[@georgeanderson4026]

Even worse for junglers who barely get value from invading or holding a wave, and still struggle to crossmap an Objective since always behind/at the mercy of sololanes.

[@georgeanderson4026]

​@@thecoffeecuratoryeah I agree just play on their tempo do what you can, get a good recall and wavestate mid- try to get a nice set up for a gank/shutdown. Track spells and summoner timers from the roam, maybe do something on grubs/ drake coming up or have your jungle and support capitalize on the mid lane freeze.

[@phanotuananh617]

that's why I always play carry mid lane champs, not some play-making champs, because when my team are doomed by a roam, I could always stay mid comfortably farming and getting to the point the enemy cant stand my damage and lose

[@bangcs6848]

NGL that spacing part cleared up a lot of my misconception about that concept. Good job, guys!

Pro tip: never play solo queue because the botlane will always go 1 10 and give you a guaranteed loss

[@mistersergei]

In my team 90% top loses the lane

[@shiroyukisnow]

You will lose if your other laners lose, sure. Sometimes, admit that you are the one that will loses lane. But if you are consistently a good player for the majority of your games, you will climb no matter what. Blaming teammates for the rest of their ranked career is a loser's mindset.

[@youngwoocho1701]

@@shiroyukisnow I genuinely play well 90 percent of my games I always get at least 8 kills and die less than 5 while my teammates usually get 1 kill and die 10 times each and I can't climb

lol @ 19:58 - sadge for samira - Also great video, I wanna try to apply this to my mid games and ima try to do it properly... If everything goes well you'll have yourself another customer!

[@gen.tucker6024]

Spacing techniques works great against certain toplaners too. Pretty much only way to win against Darius and, and especially Aatrox on some champs is to bait their spells. Darius players often try to land Q if they're on less than full HP, and Aatrox players can be fooled into thinking you are running away, thus dashing forward to catch you, and then you simply predict it and instead move up into their faces, meaning only the 3rd Q can hit you unless you run away right after the 2nd. Both these champions are severely limited in trades if they can't land their Q, especially Darius. Also works against Mordekaisers but his Q is on low pretty low cooldown, and you're often better off making him hit you AND a minion because then it deals far less damage than if it hits only you.

[@dantevoncrowlley2243]

Skill n champion hit box is the key to good spacing, the terrain needs to be in the equation, the skin since some changes the visual but not the hit box, while some do change the hit box like blue academy Ezreal R is totally bugged

[@nartdarym4237]

Welp they're not sugar coating anymore I SUCK

Why YOUR jungler sucks and how to fix it

[@mrspacefish3771]

I cast testicular torsion!

[@mistersergei]

as a midlaner you should go to help your jgl to take scuttler and maybe kill an enemy jgl even if you lose a few minions

[@Plonom]

And then have my jungler feed anyway and me now behind in xp and gold ? No thank you

[@Siigrit]

@@mistersergeione of the biggest reasons why i main strong skirmishing champs in mid. Dont even have to lane but will win game just by getting everyone ahead and enemy jungle behind. Securing objectives easily outweighs losing a couple waves.

[@Jay-st8jf]

You just have to pick up the slack its solo queue not team queue.

[@JMQA1]

You show Karma's Q range at 11:34 but its misleading because her Q has a AOE if it hits a minion (or auto AOE with R enhancement). It would be really sweet if you guys consider this additional range in your custom indicators. I'm no Master player but as I play with Karma I most certainly calculate the nuanced AOE of my abilities.

[@1234kingconan]

I just came back to league because I wanted a hobby again and I lost my first 20 games in a row and am now Iron 3 lol.

[@beducalexis9429]

Same this is hard for us

[@madsantos]

90% of my mid losses are thanks to the most silliest jungle invades. It's like they choose to coinflip the whole match and offer a free kill to the enemy jungler or mid just because they *must* try to cheese. But I do agree this guide works for flex games.

[@user-hc7yn8rf7l]

then they ping you to come save them but it goes so horribly wrong that somehow the opponent mid laner goes from 0/2 to 3/2 because somehow both support is there too. It was just an norm so I didn't type and no one dare complain about mid diff to me at the end. The other guy snowball to about an 21/5 kda ( don't remember exact number) at the end while I was 11/6 I think.

[@sassysaddles9981]

my mid losses are cuz akali keeps going bot for ez double kills, ignores tower

[@PopesCol]

When are we getting the support one? Im waiting for it to check if I'm buying the full guides.

You don’t carry as Support tbh.

I'm a big hater of these coaching videos but I have a feeling these last few ones have been exceptionally good the amount of detail you go into seemingly basic stuff aswell as stopping to give some context is very easy to understand as a shitty hardstuck gold player, I legit know like 80% of this but I don't apply it 😂

[@sevaneken3461]

Guys i need help i've been playing for 5 months and i still haven't found my main. I just play whatever is free but i want to stick to one champ. How did you 'guys do ??

[@_ScarCrow]

Find what role you like the most, only play that role. Play as many characters in the role, find out who you like the most. That’s atleast one strategi. Or look at the meta and just stick to one of the best characters… this will make it fun to play until you get better at them and or they get nerfed. Or think of your other mains in other games, try to find a character in league that has something like your main in another game. Like if you love playing a tanky character in other games try to go for that in league too, I think these are probably the best strategi. But a tip from me personally i love playing new characters and try to be as good as possible at them. Of course this doesn’t work for every new character but try them every time to see if it something that you like, i tried Briar when she came out and shes now my main.

[@raychi871]

Just pick a high impact role (jungle, mid, support?!?!) and pick the coolest looking champion. Personally, I picked mid because jungle was too scary, and support was whatever to me. Then, I picked Katarina because she does a lotta damage and movement (not 200 years damage and movement but it's still nice)

[@twoxthirteen661]

As a top laner, I've had several different mains throughout. I've gone from Garen, to Mord, to Mundo, and now Tahm Kench. My advice is to find a champ that has some form of cc, preferably a slow or stun. This will give you the chance to escape when you're trying to learn the champ, and a chance to go in if they over extend and you're confident in your champ. I also choose champs that aren't regularly banned. That'll make the enemy laner underestimate you to a degree and give them a false sense if confidence against you. Then you can make them pay for it when you out farm/ out play them in Lane.

[@dannylopez1230]

What’s sad is I do 90% of this and most of the time it doesn’t matter… I would say I win my lane most games, I help with objectives, I roam but there seems to usually be someone just better on the other team, either better jungler, better split pusher, fed adc, something … none of these courses will teach a shitty bronze player to magically win 49 games in a row… it just shows how a skilled player can take advantage of bronze players

[@meisterlampe3275]

Numbers really are constantly being thrown out of the context here. While the combined pick rate of Sylas and Ahri may be 25%, you will only be versing them in about half that amount, as the total pick rate cumulates 200%.

[@JessicaMorgani]

Not quite how math works... If both players have the chance to pick ahri then... She will only be picked at most 100% of the time. The rest of the percentage is the ban percentage. So... You will face ahri 25% of the time or more if she is not banned by you.

[@JessicaMorgani]

I love just how hard it can be to interpret numbers

[@JessicaMorgani]

Only one side can pick a champion so the number is at most 100% with the rest of it going to bans. So if you don't ban ahri you'll face her more than 25% of the time. This percentage is out of 100.

[@meisterlampe3275]

@@JessicaMorgani Idk wtf you're trying to say here, but if Ahri has a 15% pick rate, then without any assumptions that will be 7.5% of the time in enemy team. Now you could argue that your own team's midlaner doesn't consider picking or banning Ahri. Ahri has a 18% ban rate, so you are left with a total pickrate of about 18% (0.15/0.82), assuming Ahri makes it through the draft. Now you want to find the p for a binomial distribution X with n=2 where P(X>0) = 0.18. That p is somewhere between 0.09 and 0.1, meaning a random mid laner has the desire to pick Ahri about 10% of the time, even though she is picked in 18% of the games where she isn't banned.

[@meisterlampe3275]

That is also why I originally said "about" half that amount, as it is slightly higher due to the potential that there were games where both midlaners wanted to play Ahri. However as you can see even for the highest picked midlaner, the probability P(X=2) is less than 1%, so you can neglect that factor if you want a fast answer that is pretty close to the actual number and don't need an exact answer.
