eh let's be real dude you probably will take the inhib even after watching this video because unless you're super high elo you and your enemy probably won't be able to capitalise on the inhib, and in that case it's better to just take it so you have more map pressure.
@@Juslin7989 actually easier to capitalise upon the inhib in low elo as the enemy is likely to make more mistakes, i am hardstuck silver and can guarantee that i'd rather farm that bot than go out and int, allowing my team to make up for my bad mechanics with me getting free gold, and the enemy not

"The only way to become smarter - play with a strong opponent." - 1899, Emanuel Lasker. This type of content is one of the best, because you get the mental state of a master. Monkey see - monkey do. Especially when you provide the line of thought in game. More of this type of videos would've been amazing.
Everyone needs to quarantine themselves! Hector: Aw shit, I better stop going outside. Skill Capped: Did you say you that you want us to tie you on your desk to smurf ?
This concept is really helpful. We can see in the video, sometimes the right choices are not true in low elo and we should do something else to win. Please make more videos like this.
I like how this actually gives more of the practical information while most of your other videos gives teoretical information. I would love to see more of these! :)
Give Hector a raise, you are torturing him by forcing him to play with pisslow randoms in low elo, his skill is gonna drop hard if he keeps smurfing D:
Actually, I disagree. If Hector has to give commentaries like this, I'd wager the complete opposite will occur instead since the teacher almost always learns more than the student they are teaching. Verbalising his thought processes like this would probably help him break his own limits by allowing his subconscious to work on newer problems instead of holding onto existing knowledge. But yes, give the man a raise please.
@@owa1985 Very fancy words, unfortunately that's all bullshit. Teacher never learns more than the student they are teaching, wtf are u talking about?

Please provide one example where your skewed logic which is wrongly applied from classic teaching methods will work. And no, as a GM player myself, it definitely is not the case in regards to league, it does have negative effect on your playing if you spend too much time in low elo.

@@hirosaint1286 he cannot apply his high elo macro when smurfing , so he can only learn to adapt to low elo macro. Which wont help him in high elo , there is nothing a challenger can learn from
its pure bullshit, if ALL BOT LANE PLAYERS were at same skill level then how the fuck would Ashe push vs this Luci? If Blitz landed single hook then Ashe is fucking dead since Lucian has tons of dmg compared to her without items in early game.
The very first question is impossible to answer without knowing the state of the map; Do they have to leash their jg? Do the enemies leash their jg? All that is important to how you want to play the lane out - I haven't watched the full video yet but this is not a great start tbh
I would destroy the inhib because in my elo everyone is araming so i can go on the other side and push there without giving the enemy the possibility to further run my lane down and keeping me there.
@@sunknight5303 Fun fact ended a game in 19 minutes splitting as Nasus, Ended the game through top lane while my team ARAM mid and couldn't even take first tower.
You can just open the shop and ping the item you want and it will tell you and your team how much gold you need for it. This is useful both for planning your own backs and for communication with teammates
ngl this is super helpful, there are other channels with videos like this but I think this in depth commentary throughout one game is so much more useful. Also learned a lot of things other videos don't cover, since they just spam questions that repeat the same few topics over and over again.
I have that last problem about sharing farm and xp as adc very often in soloq. In 9 out of 10 cases my mid lane (or top/jgl for that matter) will come and share mid, so I move to the side lane every time. But in a lot of games what will happen is either I dont have the vision control nor support to savely push out the side lane so I end up losing farm or even dieing OR my team decides its time for a play because they are randomly grouped as 4 and they lose because I couldnt help. The worst part about it is that I am getting flamed and accused for it. That has gone so far that even my premades get mad at me. Also this effect is amplified if I lost lane making it nearly impossible to make comebacks. And I'm only talking about situations where there is no objective up on the map.
I actually got 2 of them right about the Kaisa mid to go bottom and the turret on the drake with Lucian. Those skill capped videos are really starting to get more interesting.
This feels like a "do and do not" currently in S1. This information is solid stuff. I'm too worried about vision or the enemy. If I focused on my teams response, might be useful. Good stuff.
Instead of asking us a general questions with different answers,you can give us some spesific answers (3 wrong answers and 1 right) so that we try to find the correct one.This will both be easier for us to understand and learn.Thanks for the great content
@@lehends5683 You can't think of things you have completely no clue. The whole point of watching videos and actually thinking of things like this is because you're not actually playing the game.
@@lehends5683 To be fair, you're not in the game and you don't get enough time. Like, if Im in a match I can know those answers myself, but we dont know the whole story. What's their score? How did the enemy play until now? What does x enemy do in y situation? We don't know those things, we are shown 5 seconds of footage from which you get barely any info and told :ok pretend you have been in the game for 20 minutes and know everything that happened so far, what's the best answer? Like nahh
I've love to see more content like this! It helps me learn more on how to think in-game instead of what to do in a certain scenario which doesn't occur very often at my elo!
This content type is very nice! Different from the usual, and thought provoking before he clears his mindset, while also repeating the tips afterwards. Good learning method :) And it actually taught me some new things Ive never seen in other video's before. All in all Great job
LOVED this content type. Post-match analysis is good but in the moment decisions and resining is how most of these concepts are applied. I would, however, like to see how a challenger player thinks in a challenger setting. Love the vid and keep it up
This concept is very well made, also because it draws more attention asking those questions. We aren't just listening to a dude speaking for 20 minutes when we will just forget most of it after an hour, but we're proactively trying to answer and that makes the info stay well in our minds. Would like to see more of these!
Guessing what to do before being told what is the right play really helped me understand why my thought process was wrong instead of just knowing why it was the right call
"Challenger thoughts decision making" Me: gonna 1v5 the enemy team coz hector is too far ahead Hector: nah, gonna go back botlane dont want to share exp
I actually do like this method of going a little more for the macro decisions, but I'd recommend that you clip certain scenarios and bookmark them in the video. For example, 1.) When drag is up and you're ahead in top lane 1:58 2.) When enemy team is taking the drake and herald is up and you're ahead in top lane and your jger is farming his camp near the hearld 2:58 Like give the scenarios, but also give examples of when it will likely fail or succeed based on the circumstances like if there is a hecarim or udyr or bot lane is fed on the enemy team.
This content type is the best content type I've seen so far. I've hit master tier in season 9, currently diamond 4 (season 10), I don't think I deserved master tier duo to the simple thing that I wasn't doing that was mentioned in this video which is: "To rotate appropriately according to your team's bad macro". I used to play Dota2 at semi-pro level before and my macro is at pretty high level, but I could never stand my team's bad macro and I expected and tried to force them to play in the proper way when it was just un'do'able because they didn't understand. That always made me loose so much time because I just wanted to do a good thing. I wanted to say thank you for your amazing idea with this content, I love you guys
5:50 what if he just took tower and then went dragon instead of backing? He's already ahead, so does he actually need the item to win the dragon fight? Not to mention the team was ready to dragon anyway
I think the most important lesson this video has to offer is the importance of understanding how to react to YOUR team, and not just the enemy. Likely one of the key concepts that allows smurfs to actually effectively maintain and snowball leads
Damn I rly rly rly enjoyed this a lot. The way you let us think first and then he explains himself is amazing. And its not just entertaining but helping so much as well
I really liked the pushing tips in the start. When it’s mentioned it’s so obvious, but never fully thought about that if I have minion advantage, it’s harder for skillshoots to land. Like it makes total sense just never put it into a proper thought before 😅 guess that will go for most lanes to be honest :) It was a great video! Really cool to hear Hectors thoughts while playing! Gives a whole new level of insight! 🤟🏻
this content type is perfect. i feel it helps teach more to the people like me who are low elo and need to improve macro and get a reasoning to it. it feels relatable to when youre in game and more applicable if that makes sense.
this channel just boosts my ego because in my mind every gold player should know anything in these videos its mind blowing for me that things like that even have to be discussed
It actually made me really happy that he went through your team's mental condition also matters. Making the wrong call, just to get your team on your side, but its also frustrating when lower elo or just less skilled players flame for not understanding.
Not saying I am the best player nor am I the worst player. Its just the complexity of the game where a difference of opinion can lead to extremely toxic players. Usually if everyone is equally skilled, sometimes you have to follow someone else because it is better to commit as a team instead of doing the right thing.The enemy team will most likely have the same issue and as long as you commit as a team you have a higher chance of coming out on top.
It's a cool new format. If you consider adding more szenarios, it could be an awesome weekly/bi-weekly macro decision quiz that would nurture the macro knowledge of low elo player! I would really like this kind of content more often
Interesting video, please make more of these. I actually lost multiple games because I didn't take inhibitor, but people on my team didn't understand and got mad. Spreading info like this may help low elo players.
love this concept of videos it gives you time to think for your self about what would i have done and how it should be done which give some great insight and learning opurtunities
at 5:41, I've also heard the argument that if you're smashing lane, it can be a good idea to keep the turret up so you can keep smashing them, sure, you don't get much gold for people that have 3+ deaths on them, but it damages their morale like crazy. ESPECIALLY so if your other laners aren't losing. Then obviously you should spread your power elsewhere.
The right move vs the non-tilt move, classic. I think I understand the inhibitor concept. However, would getting the inhibitor early help to apply split pressure for the other 2 lanes that still have outer turrets, or would simply getting the tower and rotating take care of that while they push out the lane each time?
This was a really good guide for me. I know I've got things to improve upon but I feel this is my main reason. I've always focused so hard on the "right play" that I never even thought about tip toeing around low Elo teammates bad mentals.
Your guides are really helpful! It's my first season into the game I peaked silver2 but I just recreated an account and I'm doing great in high gold MMR. Thanks for those guides!
Could you make a splitpush video like this? Also, how do you continue to succesfully splitpush if you're hella fed, but can't kill the fat tank that keeps clearing your waves?
There is one problem, as adc, its way more dangerous to push a sidelane with no turrets, when your team wont leave mid but you know you might get killed in that other lane, what can i do besides start flaming?
As an adc, what do I do when I'm trying to catch a wave on one of the sidelanes, but my team gets mad at me for not 'grouping'? I wouldn't need to leave if I was allowed to safely farm in mid, but my midlaner doesnt want to move to the sidelanes. Of course, my top laner reduses to leave his lane, too. They understand that top needs to split push, and that jungler needs to clear camps, but they get angry when the adc tries to accumulate resources. When I go bot to farm, my team starts pinging me to come mid, telling me that "Laning phase is over and it's time to group", a.k.a. ARAM. They then proceed to blame me every time they die after randomly starting needless fights, because I wasn't there to help them, as if my presence as a long-ranged damage dealer can save their ass from trying to kamikaze dive mid lane towers. Normally I just ignore them or /mute all, but what happens is that they will refuse to cooperate and peel for me during teamfights later on, when it actually matters. I ask for peel and they say something infuriating like "You didn't help us ealier, so why should we help you?" With the current meta, I need at least some form of peeling in order to do damage, but my teammates leave me out to dry during teamfights once they wrongly assume I'm afk farming. At the same time, I don't want to blindly follow them mid every single time once laning phase is over, and proceed to engage in a dancing competition with the other team in the midlane, without really accomplishing anything of import. And since the whole team, minus the top laner is jerking off in mid, I need to share farm with the midlaner, and the jungler, who still needs to take CS from the carries, for some reason, despite pinging me away when I even look at his camps. Most ADCs don't have waveclear, so my midlaner and jungler bursts down the wave and leaves me with like three melee minions if I can right click them fast enough. I leave lane with a normal 70 cs but by the 20 minute mark, I only have 100 or so because I have to stick around in mid with the others or else they'll tilt and get mad at me. I'm not good enough yet to 1 v 9 since I just started playing, and I don't think ADCs can even do that these days unless you're smurfing, so I actually need to keep my team happy so they'll help me later on. At the same time, I'll be useless outside of the laning phase if this keeps happening. I don't have any delusions about my own skill, but I can't practice the fundamentals if my team doesn't let me. Any advice to a newbie like me who is at least willing to learn how to play the game?
Loved the video! I sure have that problem, I simply expect too much of my teammates, sometimes even too little, and I end up tilting them or dying cuz I just assumed they would know what to do
1:10 lol not only are you getting the hook advantage but you also do not wanna let the lucian get lvl2 before you or else he will f you up in the early game. i can't believe that wasn't mentioned...

It was a great video! Really cool to hear Hectors thoughts while playing! Gives a whole new level of insight! 🤟🏻
This was absolutetly the best thing ive ever seen regarding "do you think like a challenger". very well explained and edited
this content type is perfect. i feel it helps teach more to the people like me who are low elo and need to improve macro and get a reasoning to it. it feels relatable to when youre in game and more applicable if that makes sense.
Very nice! Saw many guides from different people but these ones are the best!
this channel just boosts my ego because in my mind every gold player should know anything in these videos
its mind blowing for me that things like that even have to be discussed
I really enjoy hearing the man's thoughts, who you guys love to bash so much during guides XD Keep up the good work!!
It actually made me really happy that he went through your team's mental condition also matters. Making the wrong call, just to get your team on your side, but its also frustrating when lower elo or just less skilled players flame for not understanding.
Not saying I am the best player nor am I the worst player. Its just the complexity of the game where a difference of opinion can lead to extremely toxic players. Usually if everyone is equally skilled, sometimes you have to follow someone else because it is better to commit as a team instead of doing the right thing.The enemy team will most likely have the same issue and as long as you commit as a team you have a higher chance of coming out on top.
stopped playin league for 7 months to come back to the best content yet from skill capped
It's a cool new format. If you consider adding more szenarios, it could be an awesome weekly/bi-weekly macro decision quiz that would nurture the macro knowledge of low elo player! I would really like this kind of content more often
Interesting video, please make more of these. I actually lost multiple games because I didn't take inhibitor, but people on my team didn't understand and got mad. Spreading info like this may help low elo players.
This is a very good video idea. I hope that you keep going doing those videos. I think that will help me understanding the game.
Loved this type of content. Keep it up
I love this video style, this is exactly how I learn, I think this is the push I needed to actually sub to your website!
I want more of this, it makes me think wisely in every step I make in the game.
love this concept of videos
it gives you time to think for your self about what would i have done and how it should be done which give some great insight and learning opurtunities
at 5:41, I've also heard the argument that if you're smashing lane, it can be a good idea to keep the turret up so you can keep smashing them, sure, you don't get much gold for people that have 3+ deaths on them, but it damages their morale like crazy. ESPECIALLY so if your other laners aren't losing. Then obviously you should spread your power elsewhere.
Nice content, I do also think a reason to leave the tower low it to make it easy to dive bot lane after drake.
"We asked hector not to leave his desk for 7 days to reply to comments..." omg..i hope hector's okay being left to sit on his desk for 7 days :/
This format is absolutely wonderful! I learnt so much by picking the minds of great players.
This is really good, please upload more videos like this. keep up the good work
Excuse but whats the main role of mr.hector adc or top laner?
mid
I believe his main main is Lulu mid.
Im struggeling around Dia II, this video gave me self-confidence in my decisions. Thanks a lot.
one of the greatest vids i've seen, keep doing this
The right move vs the non-tilt move, classic. I think I understand the inhibitor concept. However, would getting the inhibitor early help to apply split pressure for the other 2 lanes that still have outer turrets, or would simply getting the tower and rotating take care of that while they push out the lane each time?
This video is actually very helpful, you should make more of them :)
This was a really good guide for me. I know I've got things to improve upon but I feel this is my main reason. I've always focused so hard on the "right play" that I never even thought about tip toeing around low Elo teammates bad mentals.
Your guides are really helpful! It's my first season into the game I peaked silver2 but I just recreated an account and I'm doing great in high gold MMR. Thanks for those guides!
Great episode, do more of these!
5:38 isnt it better to take the tower than go mid and try to take the tower because its low or go for drake ???
I really liked this analysis. keep them coming
Amazing content! It is helpful and also it is interesting to watch.
MORE OF THESE PLS
Brilliant content! Please make some for each role (Jungle seems specially interesting)
Could you make a splitpush video like this? Also, how do you continue to succesfully splitpush if you're hella fed, but can't kill the fat tank that keeps clearing your waves?
There is one problem, as adc, its way more dangerous to push a sidelane with no turrets, when your team wont leave mid but you know you might get killed in that other lane, what can i do besides start flaming?
This is a nice format. Thanks!
Im Gold 3 and I still learn and love watching these videos, People severely underrate you guys
that was some really helpful content, i would love to see more of this type
Its done really well and is a bit more realistic as it gives in game situations and the players thought process for why, great style of vid 👍👍
As an adc, what do I do when I'm trying to catch a wave on one of the sidelanes, but my team gets mad at me for not 'grouping'? I wouldn't need to leave if I was allowed to safely farm in mid, but my midlaner doesnt want to move to the sidelanes. Of course, my top laner reduses to leave his lane, too. They understand that top needs to split push, and that jungler needs to clear camps, but they get angry when the adc tries to accumulate resources. When I go bot to farm, my team starts pinging me to come mid, telling me that "Laning phase is over and it's time to group", a.k.a. ARAM. They then proceed to blame me every time they die after randomly starting needless fights, because I wasn't there to help them, as if my presence as a long-ranged damage dealer can save their ass from trying to kamikaze dive mid lane towers. Normally I just ignore them or /mute all, but what happens is that they will refuse to cooperate and peel for me during teamfights later on, when it actually matters. I ask for peel and they say something infuriating like "You didn't help us ealier, so why should we help you?"
With the current meta, I need at least some form of peeling in order to do damage, but my teammates leave me out to dry during teamfights once they wrongly assume I'm afk farming. At the same time, I don't want to blindly follow them mid every single time once laning phase is over, and proceed to engage in a dancing competition with the other team in the midlane, without really accomplishing anything of import. And since the whole team, minus the top laner is jerking off in mid, I need to share farm with the midlaner, and the jungler, who still needs to take CS from the carries, for some reason, despite pinging me away when I even look at his camps. Most ADCs don't have waveclear, so my midlaner and jungler bursts down the wave and leaves me with like three melee minions if I can right click them fast enough. I leave lane with a normal 70 cs but by the 20 minute mark, I only have 100 or so because I have to stick around in mid with the others or else they'll tilt and get mad at me.
I'm not good enough yet to 1 v 9 since I just started playing, and I don't think ADCs can even do that these days unless you're smurfing, so I actually need to keep my team happy so they'll help me later on. At the same time, I'll be useless outside of the laning phase if this keeps happening. I don't have any delusions about my own skill, but I can't practice the fundamentals if my team doesn't let me. Any advice to a newbie like me who is at least willing to learn how to play the game?
Loved the video! I sure have that problem, I simply expect too much of my teammates, sometimes even too little, and I end up tilting them or dying cuz I just assumed they would know what to do
It's quite helpful
Please keep uploading this type of content too
Really really nice content! Would love more of these "what do the pro's/hight elo players think in different situations".
This series is really good!
1:10 lol not only are you getting the hook advantage but you also do not wanna let the lucian get lvl2 before you or else he will f you up in the early game. i can't believe that wasn't mentioned...
Very nice content, i would like to see more videos like this! Please keep doing it.
This format is excellent.
can you do a vid providing some information about the mmr,how to win more lp,in what situations to dodge and how to not get tilted by others?
EARLY SQUAD WHERE ARE YOU ATTTT
ur moms room
Don't believe you think like a challenger if you aren't one, it's as simple as that
Great content! Any chance we could get one for jungle? :D
That's an amazing content right there. I hope I can see more videos like that!
actually liked this a lot, definitely learned a lot and I'm a master player
Good content, thanks a lot! Hope to see more!
what if instead of an ahri, there is a velkoz for example that cant go to a side lane? what would hector do? go side or share exp in mid?
