51:57 The way you say "that's okay" is somehow incredibly calming. I feel like if you talked to me like this during a moment of vunerability, it very well would bring me to tears.
Thankyou for everything you do fellas! It's safe to say a lot of us early listeners of the BBC (and even recent) have come a long way mentally and improved one way or another in terms of gameplay! This is also a heads up to all us viewers to make sure we can leave a like/comment on the BBC videos whenever possible to support these two absolute chads who have taken it upon themselves to try help better our gameplay and even our real lives! Up Nathan!~ Up ya Curtis!~ and UP ALL YOU BBC'er's!!!!! Keep up the hard work, Keep improving, Be your best self!
As someone who has been in psychoanalysis for 8 years now. It's very enjoyable to see you discovering psychoanalytic things about people, like the language they use which is smth to pay attention to in order to get a glimpse of their unconscious.
This podcast was incredible and helped me tremendously for my league journey and my mental even for some stuff unrelated to league You were one of the few lol related content creator that i could listen to genuinely get better Others was fun but for entertaining only Thank you to all you’ve Done Now my league journey has ended i have other stuff to do in life Hope everything will be good for you And i wont write it again so a special thanks to you coach curtis, your Channel was a big reason for my enjoyment of the game
As someone who used to dislike normal game practices, my main mental block to improving in normals was: the MMR distribution was visibly too disparate, I'd get stomped by players hundreds of LP above me or vice versa. But after taking a break from ranked (was necessary since I was growing toxic and perma tilting), I've realized that in normals there's still plenty of learning opportunity. I'm at best low gold so I will continue my normal games until preseason starts :)
51:22 The same thing happend here in Colorado, I kept failing Geometry so the school council brought me in and said "We're gonna put you in a math class for the lesser intelligence" like to my face. The best part was the Math class literally taught me how to do taxes and real life actual useful math problems. Since i actually cared about these topics I got good grades. Crazy how that works.
On playing more normal game stuff, there are a few negatives about it that you might not consider. The main one I find is that people surrender much more quickly in normals since there is no consequence for losing. This is good in that you get to the next game more quickly, but it could hurt your ‘never give up’/‘be hard to beat’ mentality. But really interesting point nevertheless!! 🙌
My problem with the normal game philosophy is that games end in a surrender 75% of the time so you never really get to learn how to close out a game or play from behind.
A lot of my friends will tell me I have good hands for League and now I feel really bad about it after hearing how bad the opposite sounds... I hope these people can get help!
What if you duo queue with a lane that doesnt interact with you? Like i main mid and i duo with an adc friend. My reason is that if my adc friend who is generally good (not super elo smurf) then i at least have a constant 2nd player who is reliable. It removes a player from the lottery of matchmaking as to wether or not they will be good.
Well, you do interact with a botlane carry if you're mid. They can set up ganks for you and get you fed, you both are close to drag and you often participate in river skirmishes together Coming froma a midlane assassin main
DuoQ is very bad if you want to improve as a player . You basically climb without becoming better and once you stop to duo , you will again fall down to your actual elo .
Honestly Yone plays a lot more like Swain in lane than Varus, you'd be surprised. Trade range of varus is way bigger than those two, and he has no cc outside of his ult
I mean cant you just pick some toplaners for ad mid? sion,sett, tryndamere,renekton maybe there are also quite few nasus mid otps in master-challanger. but out all of them tryndamere is very conisistent he is also quite friendly to learn cos sustain and is also blind pickable.
Varus (lethality) and Tristana aren't mechanical. Varus is just AD Xerath and Tristana is very simple, jump on their head and kill them or you don't kill them so don't jump in
th-cam.com/video/NlulJT8vgr8/w-d-xo.html Just play lethality poke Varus mid. It is literally a mage that do ad damage. All what you do is wave control, resource management and positioning. And you can also set up ganks with your duo.

1:05:00 Honestly, I think Ezreal might give him what he's looking for, as the way Ezreal plays fights is much more like an AP champ than an AD.

You were one of the few lol related content creator that i could listen to genuinely get better
Others was fun but for entertaining only
Thank you to all you’ve Done
Now my league journey has ended i have other stuff to do in life
Hope everything will be good for you
And i wont write it again so a special thanks to you coach curtis, your Channel was a big reason for my enjoyment of the game

Love this one, a banger as always! Good job Curtis and Nathan.
Happy Halloween from NA!
Glad i finally made it on the bbc (silly mistake guy) liked hearing Nathan’s take on it too
As someone who had to do a lot of work to get out of your exact shoes, they hit the nail on the head.
Curtis has MASSIVE legs. Seems like he never skips his leg day in the gym...
I hope next podcast I got my e-mail read. Good work guys very informative
the greatest game of all time
The swain player dude, had he tried illaoi mid. Simple mechanics and more on the analytical side of things
one of the best episodes i seen
Please put a timestamp for Mailbag in the future. Thanks!

Would love to hear y’all thoughts on worlds and the current state of pro play and stuff. Big ups thanks for the good content !
1v5 custom bot games is where I always first time any non support champ, to this day.

No mention of lethality or on hit Varus for analytical AD? I mean, I get that he's a marksman, but it's certainly closer than Yone.

But if I say no I wont get cuddles
