A neat interaction that some people don't know about: At 7:50 you get 25 stacks because the game counts killing the clone like a champion kill. Going for clone/mimic kills whenever you can can give you a pretty nice advantage.
Hi shok could you record this kind of guides from the draft, i kinda curious whats your thought process about matchups and your picks in general. I think that’ll be useful for all of us
There's a couple reasons I don't: First I'm not really picking optimally on this account, I'm playing champions that I wouldn't normally pick on my main in order to teach specific champions Second I'd mostly encourage people to just pick comfort champs and not worry too much about min maxing draft until higher levels And finally I think it adds quite a bit of time to the video that most people would find uninteresting On my stream obviously you can watch my champ selects, so you could go back through those vods if you're interested
Great content, love that you are fundemantally accurate player ! I know its a hard question to answer but i am really trying and practicing Azir but its insanely diffictly mechanicly like its the lee sin for mid and and also the early game is hard any advice on that also when to pick Azir ? (Looking for azir guide🤣👀) Further more once you asked in your lives what educational content you should make, in my opinion a in deepth wave management/contrtol guide would be awsome or an ad itemaziation i know there are several of them on yt but i bet not as good as yours
If you go to my mid lane fundamentals playlist there will be a couple guides of wave management. Atm you can play Azir basically whenever tbh, he's a very well rounded champion. I'll try post some videos on him soon though
Depends what you're against really, Seraphs is less dmg compared to other items, but if it means the difference between winning 1v1 or not or being able to push side lane or not the extra income you can get from this can make up for the lower damage
What do you think are easy mids to play into viktor. Im a 1.5 million point main and think i will be vsing him a lot more than usual soon! I feel like most of the counters into him are pretty mechanical e.g. akali, sylas, fizz, yasuo, yone. Feels like something like lux or galio are the easiest to consistently play into him but curious on your thoughts.
Also at ~15.30 what was your reasoning on lich bane> deathcap. I probably wouldve built death cap 10/10 times given it scales and not needing to buy more needlesslys lol but curious on your reasoning
Not really sure if there will be an easy MU into Viktor, Lux or Galio sound not bad. Syndra with a ganking jg/supp feels pretty good and she's a lot more forgiving than she used to be so you could try her
Dcap 2nd can be good but you require a lot of additional AP to make it really valuable, plus the lichbane MS + AS can be pretty useful for fights early. I think dcap 2nd could be better if you knew you would need an early void, but otherwise I think just wait until 3rd.
Champ dependent but normally it would be blackfire > liandry > dcap/void > dcap/void (depending on if they have MR yet or not) > last item probably lich bane or some CDR like cosmic or horizon
I suspect regardless of if he is actually OP or not he'll get a pretty massive spike in pickrate/banrate, so at least at first it probably will be contested a shit ton. I think he is looking on the stronger side as well, not sure if it's S tier broken but seems very pickable
reworked/new champions always see a surge in bans. I've been able to play him quite a bit recently with no issues of constant bans. i maybe see a Viktor ban every 10-15 matches or so
Rn im a velkoz otp with 60%wr overall, 70% with vel alone And just hit gold 3, but i feel like i should widen my champ pool, if im looking for good solo climbing and good teamplay out of ori, syndra and lissandra who would you recommend ?
imo if you keep winning with velkoz I would just keep playing him, I think Lissandra probably fills the whole in your champ pool the most though (need some mobility/safety/way to deal with dives or assassins)
Why did you play comet this game? Doesnt Aery make way more sense? Lux can just walk out of the comet without Viktors W evolve (which you get way too late), so I dont think its a reliable rune for Viktor in Lane, even if Lux doesnt have any mobility spells

Ok wow I did not know this either
Yeah very op in LB matchup and against wukong/shaco occassionally
Shrodinger’s Viktor was way funnier than it should’ve been
Best mid lane content on TH-cam
I can't believe you're playing an anime waifu Shok, you've fallen far from grace
Lived long enough to see myself become the villain
I would kill for more Azir content by you ! you make things so clear ! great video as usual
Coming soon homie I promise
Great Vid as always. Would love to see Anivia ❤
1000% agree with every letter, sentiment and emoji in this particular comment

Your videos are awesome. I don't play midlane, but I still learn a lot.
Hopefully I'm not training a jungler on how to gank innocent mid laners...
Still don't understand how u dont have more subscribers i don't even play league anymore and I still watch your videos coz there so good
Homie freed himself I respect that
steady watching all of these

I'm an Azir one trick, and I don't even fully know when to pick Azir, hopefully Shok will be able to your comment
He already made a wave management guide this season or last season, either way it's still relevant imo
@@boneless70 ohh great thanks, i might have missed it

@@ShokLeague Thanks 😁
Love seeing some Viktor from Arcane. Why did you decide to pick comet over aery?
Basically just because Lux is super long ranged so I felt like I wouldn't be able to proc aery a lot
Love you Shok!
Love the Viktor content hes such a fun champion. You dont see a seraphs build on Viktor that often is that a valuable build right now?
Depends what you're against really, Seraphs is less dmg compared to other items, but if it means the difference between winning 1v1 or not or being able to push side lane or not the extra income you can get from this can make up for the lower damage
Great content. Thanks for the vid!
Great vid! Against which mid laners would you pick Viktor? I find it hard to get prio with him early.
imo he's really good against basically any mage mid and a lot of the ADC mids too, not that great vs assassins or bruisers
What do you think are easy mids to play into viktor. Im a 1.5 million point main and think i will be vsing him a lot more than usual soon! I feel like most of the counters into him are pretty mechanical e.g. akali, sylas, fizz, yasuo, yone.

I like the timing of this video because the Viktor rework is effectively going to change absolutely nothing about this champion anyway!
Which items and in which order would you build as a mage against a full tank enemy team?
Champ dependent but normally it would be blackfire > liandry > dcap/void > dcap/void (depending on if they have MR yet or not) > last item probably lich bane or some CDR like cosmic or horizon
always burn build. pretty much exactly as Shok recommended.
Sadly his ult change is a bit bad for him. Ult won't interrupt channeled abilities like Katarina ult anymore. Hope it'll be worth the change.
This does affect a few matchups but I think the several buffs he's receiving over all makes up for it
This is still going to be in the game - it is on pbe faker rumour being spread
Shok u think new Viktor will be Op or banned all the time? He's my mainchamp, so im nervous he will get overplayed or banned all the time
I suspect regardless of if he is actually OP or not he'll get a pretty massive spike in pickrate/banrate, so at least at first it probably will be contested a shit ton. I think he is looking on the stronger side as well, not sure if it's S tier broken but seems very pickable

why you went seraphines and not blackfire torch or ludens companion?
4:20 for sidelaning strength + surviving shaco
This content is good I am not AI.

Hello Shock, could you play Hwei next time?
He does on stream if you're super interested
@jessemsalhi5539 thanks for the tip
Will try play a game in this series! I believe I posted one in my last unranked to masters also
Pls do Jayce next
Hey Shok, do you play with "click" minimap movement enabled or disabled?
I turned it off because I kept accidently clicking on it when trying to click away on blue side (since my map is bottom left)
