As a D2 midlaner, this is one of the only league of legends channels I can actually learn from. Really recommend to lower Elo players to listen less to other content creators and MORE to this one!!
I think you like those extended indepth videos that covers everything i recommend you watch also coach curtis he do some good videos too i think those long videos he do and Shok do are much better then skillcaped or gameleap videos
bronze 4 mid laner, looking for coaches. I am alright mechanically but everywhere else is ass and I need mentors to help learn because information overload.
This is the first time I watch this channel because one of my friends linked me to this video - seeing a commend like this makes me instantly subscribe to this channel. Also I'd recommend you check out Coach Curtis as well if you want more high elo midlane content that isn't just clickbait stuff.
Im literally binge watching ur guides before playing as a mid laner since i wanted to change lanes from top to mid and i wanna thank you for all the efforts and time to create these high quality guides.
Your guides are sooo useful. I have never understood how to ward and is there any method for this. That's why I was often killed by junglers. Thanks, Shok 🔥
Great video once again, thank you ! I saw you earned quite a lot of subscribers recently and it’s totally deserved. I’m sure your channel will blow up !
bro do u give personal coaching ? would be nice so u can tell me misstakes but ur videos are very helpfull and will watch all of them cs i wann reach diamond this season
I normally just watch Neace coaching vids but you take it way further and actually explain why, how, and when. Very in-depth and very helpful. If you do start to offer personal coaching, you’ll be hearing from me
Just found you bud and I must say you have given me a much better insight to league in 30 min as apposed to all the other guides I've watched over the hours of vids. Keep it up man I love these vids of yours it's such good info and maybe riot should replace their tutorial with your YT videos.
Hey Shok, first off amazing video! I really think you have some of the most depth in you educational content on the entire platform. One question I have regarding early warding is about how you suggest to ward the opposite pixel to enemy jg start at 2:30 and hug that side. If we ward the side the jungler will theoretically be on wouldnt it be dangerous to hug that side of the lane as we have less time to react to ganks especially from champs like hecarim who can get onto you very quickly? Also, how do you best recommend figuring out which side the jungler starts without using your level 1 ward?
Yes, it's true you will have less time to react. But I can't really think of a jungler that has that long range ganking power early. For example at 2:30 Hecarim won't have boots so you should have plenty of time to react. Zac will only have 1 point in E which isn't very long range yet. Champions like Noc/Eve don't really have long range ganks until level 6 etc. Basically that early in the game as long as you see them on a ward you should have time to react. You could ward and hug to the other side instead but it would give your team a lot less information, if you were really scared against their mid/jg combo you could do it though. At level 1 just look to see who leashed, if no one leashed just play it safe and ward/hug to your jungler.
Might be a stupid question but how do you ward for invis champs? Do you just ward a jug camp? Obviously pinks but early on I don’t have gold for a pink
Great video as always! What should you do If you play aggressive as a melee champion like yasuo where you should stay near minions to push and cant really hug a side wall?
Ideally you shouldn't be pushing most of the time, but if you are pushing then you probably want to push as quickly as you can. Normally melee champions want the wave on their side most of the lane
On Pink wards. I find it hard to justify them most the time. I see so many people recommending them and putting them in places like you described here. But, my experience is they just get cleared out Rather quickly. First time a jg comes river he's just going to clear it. Sure you know he's there now. But within seconds you no longer know where he went. Money wasted. Like in top if I'm playing red side I'll place one in the tri bush cuz it's harder for them to clear. Put it in the long bush along side the river and it's just going to get smoked. I never feel good about my pinks when placed in hostile or even neutral locations.
hi shok i have a question, sometimes i know where the enemy jgl is and i lean to the complete otherside, but i am playing cassio and i am behind and the enemy is a voli and mid has no cc and i need to push but i still get killes if i lean because they can catch up. So what do i need to do?
sounds like the problem comes from an earlier spot here where you have started to slow push your wave. Against high mobility junglers I suggest keeping the wave on your side as much as physically possible to avoid these situations, this also gives you more room to extend trades with cassio so you benefit there as well. If you need to get a reset off try to do it when you know the jungler cant come mid or call for jungler to assist your shove if it really is too dangerous.
Basically what the other comment said, as Cassio keeping the wave close to your tower is pretty important and naturally you will be very vulnerable when it's pushing out. Try take opportunities to push out when the enemy jungler shows, or call your jungler/supp to help if you don't get an opportunity.
@@refused-_-8491 You should be able to survive just by warding/hugging correctly, but if their gank setup is really that strong then you just can't push 3 waves and aim to push 2 instead.
Honestly not sure, but lower CD on Q will help make a big difference in making his early lane not so bad which is a big reason why he isn't played. So hopefully it helps.
You could but ghost poro doesn't actually provide that much vision and people can walk around it easily if they're determined. I wouldn't do it specifically because you have ghost poro, but I guess it makes it slightly better.
the issue with this guide like literally every guide made for mid, is that it doesnt take into account how different low elo junglers play. you can talk about optimal pathing til you run out of breath and then watch 50 low elo games and find maybe 1 guy doing it. god forbid they see an enemy yasuo or something either because they will camp that lane even if it means their nexus is dying. really low elo is just playing super safe in lane and hoping you have jungle diff so you can get ahead otherwise you need to get aheadd in mid gaame from equal or behind. edit- ALSO it ignores that every jungler these days goes over walls and ignores these terrible wards.
As a D2 midlaner, this is one of the only league of legends channels I can actually learn from. Really recommend to lower Elo players to listen less to other content creators and MORE to this one!!
what? you don't like skillcapped and the other plethera of youtube channels' clickbait content? hhhh

thanks for video's shok this mid lane fundamentals series and helping me alot thanks shok !
these guides are a life saver thanks man!!
Literally (at least this one), since it's about not dying to ganks 😂
your channel is an absolute gem!

You really like that you put the more advanced stuff in there! Definitely keep it up
so fucken insane bro your so underated also i like how you explain things and straight to the point i prefer you over coach curtis tbh
Great video once again, thank you ! I saw you earned quite a lot of subscribers recently and it’s totally deserved. I’m sure your channel will blow up !
Thank you
Love and enjoy each one of your videos so much… thank you so much

Thinking about starting up personal coaching in a couple weeks! Will probably do an announcement when I start.

Another great video, thanks for putting these together!

This is amazing. I can tell you have vision so to speak 😉
Very helpful guide but I wanna say that pink ward in any mid lane bush can be good because your jg know that there is no ward
Your content is amazing! It really helps me to improve. Thank you very much :)
Is there any chance for a Vladimir guide in the future?
I might do, but I think Elite500 already has a really good Vlad guide so I'm not sure it's needed.
Here before the channel blows up!
Awesome thank you so much!
A Massive thank you for making this for free

These are so good. Do you have a Lucian guide?
Coming soon! Doing Yone first then Lucian.
“You have to accept reality”. Are you coach Curtis in disguise?
hahah we just always said this in OCE scrims idk who came up with it first

I fucking love you
Bro u made me an overall better player with your videos but i want to watch them again to learn better….one question fakers kai sa mid works??
Yeah it works, probably better as a counterpick than a blind though.
how do you identify which side a jungler will start on?
Normally you just check to see who leashed, if bot lane leashed then they started bot etc
Anyone have a list of invading jungles? Kindred, Nidalee, graves..
Hey shok, what do you think about swain changes, do you think he is gonna be playeble mid again?
Honestly not sure, but lower CD on Q will help make a big difference in making his early lane not so bad which is a big reason why he isn't played. So hopefully it helps.
what are your thought on warding lv 1, if you have ghost poro?
You could but ghost poro doesn't actually provide that much vision and people can walk around it easily if they're determined. I wouldn't do it specifically because you have ghost poro, but I guess it makes it slightly better.
@@ShokLeague thank you,
can u make a video about jungle ?
Nah, I think there are many good jungle guides already and it's not a role I play that often.
@@ShokLeague :(
@@keddywrld Sorry homie, you could try checking out Nathan Mott's channel I think he does good jungle coaching.
I love your videos. I feel like there is not enough LOL training. It's mostly guys bragging about their skills
