I've watched SC videos since Wrath in 2008 or something like that a really long time this was by the far the best most useful video I've ever seen and there have been some good ones. Actually, mind blown.
This video is not differentiated enough. You should absolutely group with your team, if you make the difference in winning a teamfight. I have had a kata that refused to play with us (probably because of this video), so we got shoved into base with her continuously pushing sidelane. People will watch this, fall solo in sideline and flame their team for not using this window of opportunity to make a play or take objectives, when in reality what they did was just wrong.
biggest thing ive ever learned was if your teammates are pinging/planning/trying to do something stupid, ignore them. but also, if your team ignores you when you make a baron call or something, dont try to force it. if they arent doing it then just let it go its not worth it
Right. In the beggining i tried to rescu lines, but even if i succeded it ended that same after some time, and ofen i lost time+gold+exp i betwin. I try to build adv on even lane if possible, becase that lane will take adv after meking gold div. and i counterjungel if possible. The loosing lane is offen wrighting schit abot "jungel div" and "0 gank" seting bad mood, but i cant do more then set 2 lans in win condition and hope that the last lane wont feed... mostly they feed like crazy and when im lv10 the enemy laner can already have lv13 (10/0/0)... and my drems are over. In LOL it schould be a system report if thing like this ocure. If someone have 0/10/0 it schould be imidietely 10 minutes penalyty bevor next game, just to give some time to think and start YT to wach how to play. Its just a joke, that after someone died 2x in a row hi is again and again not sitting under turret what ends in dying 3 more times, and after that hi will be kiled under turret if solo in lane wrigting schit od FFing every minute, because hi anone is stuppid enough to die multipple time on a row. (I loved to go Mundo against Riven and after minute 5-6 i could kill both Riven and Jungler together, and after 9 kill her on sight and win the game 1vs9). Riven players are like yasuo on top :P 0/10/0 and full rage ore AFK.
@@dreamerwav698 Totally agree. ive started to only say positive things to my teamates, and if theres nothing positive about them ill mute and focus on myselves. If they dont follow my calls, ill back of and go farm to get a gold lead some other way instead :D
biggest boost was to not focus on what any of my teammates are doing and play my game as best and efficiently as possible single handily took me from gold to diamond in the space of 1 split
Honestly, what probably helped my laning most were the two rules of: 1. Always push wave before recall and don't greed for platings if it'll cost a good reset time 2. Look to recall when you have ~1k gold
Absolutely, what has helped me the most with climbing (as a midlaner) is three things: having a good mentality, rewatch my games to see the mistakes and using dead time, catching waves close to my tower, going to solo lanes... I improved so much watching SkillCapped videos, keep uploading this type of guides! 😊
Realizing that there are many ways to play the Jungle role and that it's better to adapt to the game I'm in rather than adhere to strict guidelines is important. Having an eye to punish the enemy team for every action they take is crucial. Jungle tracking and invading across the map when the enemy jungler goes for ganks is a game changer. These two things alone have helped me passed 70% win rate as jungler
Biggest Boost - Switching to an enchanter Support from an engage support. I went from a 53% WR thresh to a 71% WR Janna in Emerald 3/4 I think this might be because: 1. If one of my lanes hard win. I can ward/ shadow around them all game. 2. As an Enchanter my job is way more simple. My job is to literally keep my team alive, not make plays. 3. Late game i am very impactful with knock-ups/speed and shields. Loved the Video @skillcapped I love the design of your website too
LMAO the exact opposite happened to me. I was a Nami onetrick, only very rarely playing Morgana or Renata Glasc when Nami was banned. I Never made it out of silver with Nami. Then I switched to Engage Supps and easily made it to platinum within a single split. As an Engage Supp you can make the plays and dont have to wait for your ADC to do something. You can roam so much better, not having to worry about getting oneshot once you walk into fog of war, which allows you to impact other lanes as well, getting your entire team ahead, even before 15min, and not just botlane. Find your own playstyle. If Enchanter suits you, play enchanter, if you play better with tanks, play tanks. All champs have their advantages and downsides :)
@@NoXterium 😂 this could be true, However during the late game, thresh sucks. And where I try and play around my carries as thresh I have to either sit on top of them, which is hard because thresh hook is not reliable or stand infornt to make picks. Often I would just get fked and die being in front.
Which is funny because the meta is entirely adc centric atm. If youre consistently the better adc in your games youre gonna win like crazy just cause the role is strong af atm.
@@popelipo6281 its strong OUTSIDE of the bot, atm any damage support can kill adc 2vs2 no problem, so its not only about adc but you have to cooperate with teammate, your success count on your synergy
@@vaclavmajer5488 Doesnt change the fact that adc is the only role that matters in actually winning the game. You can go 20/0 toplane but if the enemy adc is fed you lose the game.
My biggest boost to winrate was my friend telling me to mute chat. Eventually i tried for one game, and i said "well, if I lose, I'll try playing with chat on again". I didn't lose. I climbed from silver to plat that week.
I told the same thing to two friend years ago, they didnt want to listen. Yesterday they removed the chat and now they tell me its like im playing a new game! Honestly to climb ranks, that's rule number 1, just interface and chat only party
@@Z3torq8bro ive been trying to answer you 3 times already and they all get deleted or something, i play Taric Jungle, there is a famous guy that plays Taric Jungle, but i think that if i mention him, something deletes my comment.
@@CitrusLeftagree. Those dumbasses have no sense of strategy its insane. Its just “oH wE wIN whEn ThEy FF tO lOsiNG TeAMfiGhTs”. God that elo is insufferable
understanding that when you play jungle you can't know every concept you need the best clear and the game will show you what to do don't force decisions
@@jaice2640it's default binded to f1, f2, f3, f4, f5. F1 being yourself and f2 top f3 mid f4 adc f5 support if you're the jungler. Pressing it instantly locks your camera to whoever you want. I binded it to zxcv for easier access
Biggest boost to me is when i discovered wave management in top lane i literaly got out of iron into high silver, gold. Lets you pick and play many more champions that are not considered S+ but you can still make it work and that is important for top that require you to have big champion pool bigger than most other laners.
Biggest boosts have been: 1. utilizing dead times (especially in jungle), cs gain from doing this is a lot 2. good back timings (push wave before recall for a bounce, recall when at 1000+ gold especially if you can afford an item, matching recalls in mid, backing early as support when lane is killed for roams, not greeding for tower plates) 3. learning to cover empty lanes and match tempo but also when to rotate for key objectives (when it doesn't cost much, which is somewhat understated in these guides sometimes I feel) 4. being positive in game chat towards teammates after good plays and trying to help every lane get ahead at least once (if they aren't completely outclassed and you're ahead), morale is really undervalued in these videos I feel (unless you can hard, hard carry). Lastly, there should be a breakdown as to when midgame ends and transitions to late game as lots think pushing side lanes and letting teammates die is worth when it costs baron and soul (when it usually just ends the game in the enemy's favor).
Knowing when I'm better off feeding everything to my carry and recognizing that my best use right now is cc'ing the enemy carry once and dying for it in a teamfight didn't just boost my winrate, it even made me tiltproof because being bad doesn't prevent me from being useful :^)
2 most impactful things for me: How to create back timings in laning, and how to time backs to match up with your teams pressure in the mid to late game
My biggest boost as a support was not trying to play meta champs but champs I liked. Also the solo carry mentality is very hard on support as your job is to help the team.
me and my friends constantly share videos of yours. i know a lot of the concepts that you talk about, but you explaining it makes it easier to show my friends because its a lot to throw at someone. we have been playing since season 1 and all of them play like silver 1-2, they are improving a lot now (gold 1-3) that we watch your videos and they understand these concepts. i am a support main but have played all roles, i feel like support is the most crucial role in a game, you are the playmaker so knowing a lot of these tactics and skills helps so much. my point being that what ive learned from your videos the most that has helped me get to emerald 3 currently is knowing when to make those plays, which i now know is called dead time/macro. adc shoves the wave cool let me go ward or try to get a roam off mid while he recalls. understanding what to do and when to do it is basic macro stuff. top lane shoved dragon is spawning in 30 seconds cool ward everywhere around dragon at 1 minute and have the team positioned to fight the enemy before they get there. having this in my mind now when i play is game changing. thank you for these videos
The one thing I learned that boosted my win rate is not listening to challenger level players, because what they do in challenger level games doesn't carry over to lower ELO games well. Especially when challenger level players don't agree on what is good and not good. I watched a video just yesterday about jungling and they specifically said don't worry so much about getting your camps every time, because a good gank is worth it if you know what to look out for.
Tower plates are the biggest bait in the world 9/10 times. It usually ends in you dying due to enemy laner buying items to surpass your power, or take a horrible recall timer & lose waves/xp. It also drives me insane when laners Prio a single tower plate > helping take an objective. Objectives are a wincon, not your 125g.
yet the most infuriating thing for me is the fucking jungler paradox... if I die/recall and my laner shoves, their low hp low mana no-wards ass gets off free taking a plate every time, the moment I even step over the mid line after killing my laner the enemy jungler immediately rushes in to gank. Not even to hold the wave, they just already were setting up a gank waiting for me to go to the plate, and even if i warded then I have to leave still.......... I should start taking note of this so I can actually have a comparison to complain or the evidence to show myeslf its bias
Biggest boost to my winrate (Bronze hardstuck to now a 75% wr Emerald player) was making sure I got the guarenteed income from sidelanes instead of just perma grouping all the time. Was such a huge difference to how ahead I got in games and allowed me to carry.
Recall timers and wave management aside, what I found the most useful was learning tempo. That said, I’d definitely wish I could learn a dozen more specific things to further optimize all my other non mechanical stuff as well as ideas on how to speed up my clears
Wave control and roaming as a support is the most critical thing I've learned from you guys. I got really decent at the micro skills, but never really knew what to do with all my dead time or how I could make a few different moves to give myself more of it to work with.
This man speaks with so much confidence and assurance that after watching two videos about playing in low elo, I was able to win ten games in a row. This was just because I used the advice he gave about ignoring teammates and trying to take all the gold and experience for yourself to carry. Thank you for the great advice man!
my biggest boost was from neace youtube guides, i went from hovering bronze 3-silver 5 to diamond 5 in like a year because of him... those ranks don't exist anymore, so i think now that'd be equivalent to like iron 1 to emerald 1 or d4 maybe idk, but it was huuge
Looking at the map more was my big winrate booster. I've got a lot of experience with gaming so piloting my character comes relatively naturally, but that habit of checking the minimap OFTEN wasn't there at all. Can't make good decisions with no information.
Biggest boost to my winrate came from Neace during toplaner coaching because he spelled out exactly where to stand and how to cut someone off after landing an ability/auto on them and creating a situation where the enemy doesn't want to trade. Specifics help over larger concepts because it gives things you can go and physically do in your next game, while concepts generally still leaving you asking 'how do I physically do this?' which is difficult to convey without coaching. Neace's style is closer to technical training than conceptual briefing. This video seems helpful but I'm not sure how easy it will be to implement because it's very conceptual in nature.
The biggest boost to a winrate you could make is to not mental boom or let your teammates get to you theres nothing wrong with just muting someone spam pinging you or perma typing
My biggest bust was your video about the simplifying of league. Also ur positioning guides really helped a lot. It's crazy how just watching numbers can win the game for you. I knew it before but I actually believed that I can learn how to play without being a genius after ur video about the simplicity of league. Also thanks to Hector for the mentality guide. His story really cheers me up when I remind it after the bad games
Biggest boosts were twofold (keep in mind I'm still a noob): firstly, knowing about priority so I can push and then roam/deep ward with less risk; secondly doing the "count the enemies" technique of knowing when to go into a teamfight. My teammates don't always listen to me (thanks iron) but at least I have more awareness now and die a lot less.
1. dont argue with teammates since you wont gain anything from it 2. learn your limits no matter if you lose few games since while doing so since in a long run you will be able to play to your absolute limit and actually 1v9 games
Excellent video! I kind of know all this but struggle to consistently do it.. I also loved the kind of mindset you teach at the end, couldn't agree more :)
i really think that just knowing my limits has helped a lot i’m not the best player but knowing that i’ve been able to play safer and farm till mid game then make my plays
arguably just not paying attention to my teammates is what gave me a huge boost in confidence and in WR. sitting at 68wr this season and I hope it sticks with these lessons
SMITE vet whos learning league with her friends here! Hope you don't mind me answering in terms of the game I'm more experienced in. Once I learned the skill of staying calm in fights, instead of just approaching them all with the same strategy, I jumped from Silver to Plat. I still think its the most important thing to know even in a game where the macro is so much more intricate - I think its why I gravitate to spellshield characters like Fiora and Sivir. My ability to just stay calm, understand my win con, and play for it is way above my other stats, and it really carries me when both my mechs and my macro are both pretty bad.
Biggest boost was ignoring low elo teammates having bad games, and to play greedy/ split as midlaner targetting the 700g tower instead of roaming to losing fight.
i love the tip at 24:00, just run it down a lane over and over and feed the most fed person. i'm so ready to climb, i just had to embrace the int!!!!!!! (jokes aside experimenting with map pressure is one of the most fun/powerful concepts for sure haha)
I play ADC The best things i learned so far are in order 1- Don’t overcommit when informations are missing 2- Stop playing with team and try doing more 2v2 and 3v3 fights when i can actually carry (splitpush too ) 3- Laning Phase Matchups with the recent video
Biggest boost for me in support was diversifying my roster of champs I’m comfortable with. Both to prevent making mistakes from monotony and to pick better matchups.
about the same as you except that I switched from Support to Midlane. I started support because I felt less pressure because I don't have to carry, but always depending on the other was getting annoying so I ended up switching to maining Ahri in midlane.
biggest boost for me was having the expectation to lose therefore choosing to learn instead regardless of outcome .. took me from 30 game loss streak bronze yi to assassin gold yi haha in one season
24:30 There's a subtle concept here that hasn't been mentioned: level. After a team fight, if the opponent levels up, the stat benefits alone are worth 600 gold. Similarly, during split-pushing, if you're at a higher level than the opponent, you can't afford to die. If the opponent corners you and levels up, even if you manage to kill four out of five enemies, that's only 1200 gold. If just two of the opponents level up during the process, not counting the shut down, they've already caught up.
Using skillcapped and Learning from Broken By Concept is my back timings and how important they are. Learning how to keep tempo with things so simple it should be criminal to not know it lol.
Biggest boost was learning macro from y’all. Such as getting guaranteed gold from waves or camps, split pushing when enemy’s are distracted at an objective or not wasting time trying to help a losing teamfight when I could be getting solo xp and more gold.
Coming from playing pretty much exclusively ARAM to playing SR (just normals, tho, I'm not that crazy), basically ANY info about farming and wave control has been a game-changer. Specifically, the concept of setting up good recalls, since recalling is not a thing in ARAM, so I had no idea how to do it well or when to do it at all.
As an OTP Karthus jungle, I regularly get flamed for farming my camps instead of ganking. The most precious advice I got from Skill Capped was the notion of dead time and always focus on the income-risk ratio. I play this champ because I feel insecure with carnivorous junglers and his ludicrous clear speed and global impact lets me just do my thing and see my dead time increase as I get better at optimizing my clear speed.
Jng main, dead time is a concept I plan to put into use in upcoming games. I've already started paying attention to crossmap opportunities. Feels good to get *something* when the other jungle is securing something I can't because of distance or being zoned out.
Definitely saving this video. I am a terrible league player after years of playing and it is 100% due to me blaming teammates and just being super greedy. Farming is a big issue of course, but greed keeps people below gold/plat
Biggest boost to my winrate came when I learned to not group all the time, along with learning to develop leads in lane through wave management. I went from a hardstuck gold player seasons 5-8 who knew nothing whatsoever about macro strategies, to actually being a pretty solid ADC. Skill capped was exponentially more helpful to me than other “guide” channels that basically just talk about mindset and other garbage like that in every video. Mindset is important, but it isn’t really going to help someone who just doesn’t know the basic concepts you need for success in the game. Doesn’t help that League’s tutorial does an awful job actually teaching how the game is played.
Biggest winrate boost for me was understanding that everything you do u need to do as fast as possible with no "wondering around the map". Like you are on a timer, because sometimes even a few seconds of you thinking what to do and not actively doing it can change the whole outcome of the game. This took me from hardstuck gold to d4 in around 6 months.
Biggest boost as a top laner was being willing to be more greedy. Help in less fights. Choose gold over your team almost every time. If you win top lane and aren't the richest person on the map after mid game every time as a non tank, you are wasting your time in ranked. Tier 2 towers are the best objective outside of baron/soul/elder/inhib
I've been watching all of your videos for more than 1 year. I ranked up from iron1 to gold 4. I have fixed something with my game play, your guides boosted me yes but the problem is I dont know what I was doing wrong then and doing correct now
Biggest boost to my WR and my climb was to just commit to teammates silly moves rather than just ignoring them and believing my own calls. Saves their mental, and sometimes my presence can make the difference. Got me from silver to Gold
biggest boost to me was utilizing dead timer as a jungler, I don't risk ganks when my jungle camps are up, focusing on clearing my camps quickly allows me to have free time to either gank or try to challenge objectives.
Biggest boost in my winrate was not queueing with my friends.. that and mastering 2 champs instead of trying to counter pick. Now i know my matchups and know when not to take a fight, significantly boosting every aspect of my game. 1 tricking is the best thing ive ever done.
Only ganking in situations were is minimum 80% of success or in dead time. Other situations just avoid ganking. I'm D4 right now just by doing this with Kha' zhix, farmming and waiting till the opponent's mistake. Other lines can be inting but i ever keep in the same level as opponent, that allows me to get bountys and get ahead, even when 1 or 2 lines are trolling.
What they don't say during these roams " oh he's risking 200 gold in farm for 300 on a roam kill." U have to account for what you gain for getting that roam kill, the flaming that will occur after the gank, the lead your bot lane gets from the roam. There are other factors to a kill other then gold.
True, ganking isn't about the gold You get, it's about allowing your teammate to take a breath when they're in a bad condition and thus allowing them to get even more gold if they're able to snowball the advantage
Biggest boost to my winrate was to stop fighting - in low elo where I'm at, everyone fights all the time, so instead I started playing veigar, mundo, nasus, and other scaling champs who win if they're even. Then, I just farmed. It has really been that simple, and I went from a 50% WR in mid-bronze to a 65% winrate in silver/gold.
I’m a wild rift player who’s never played league before and so lack fundamentals. I come here to learn and it is honestly so useful that the games are somewhat similar apart from the pace of gameplay
Biggest boost was to learn your camps don't go anywhere, your teammates do. If there is a low HP enemy and you are mid clearing a camp, it might not look like you should leave the camp, but if you do you make the enemy laner lose their time while yours gains an advantage and you can easily return to your camp after or even invade, knowing there is a free laner that now can roam and help you if needed
The biggest thing was ping for your team if their laner is missing and if you are going to roam, it helps so much and doesn't make the weak mental people cry and tilt won me so many games.
Biggest boost as a jungler is not to listen when your teammates ask for ganks cause you're the only one that will know when it's a good time to gank. Also never listen when they ask for obj, always do what you think is better, which is often to steal ennemy jungle camps as a trade for grubs for example etc.
19:50 Idk how I ended up on this video but as someone who plays like 100 games per year and then forgets about this game, anytime I don't go to help my teammates on their bad plays, they end up crying and just inting as a result. Much easier said than done to ignore lol
best things i learned as a mid vex main is not perma roaming botlane and just pushing my lane and help for my jungler more (by warding or having good pressure for objectives to be played)
Really good guide. I learned this concept from one of the SkillCapped coaches (shout out to Coach Kou!) and it got me from silver to Emerald last season. Of course I had to work on other stuff too in the early game, but I was carrying games way harder because I was able to get gold leads in the mid game even if I was behind early on.
My biggest boost was (in bot): 1. Learning how to push back enemies so they cabt farm 2. Learning how to last hit (there are some weird timings with some characters) 3. Getting my support main friends to play with me so its not lonely and they actually help😅
Bouncing waves as a support and always pathing mid instead of bot, again as a support main. I have had warding down for a long time but honestly this little thing made a big difference.
Honestly, the biggest boost was to realize what 6 Grubs do, and how it synergizes with what low-Elo is like. Getting 6 Grubs means that any lane that was previously winning is now turbo-winning and might just take the enemy's Inhibitor on their own. It's like the concept of "always help the winning lane", except you don't even have to go there. And most low-Elo junglers don't even realize how important Grubs are.
I'd say what helped me improve the most until now was becoming aware of my own tunnel vision and paying more attention to the map. Now, I constantly think about "Could doing that kill me/other team mates in the worst scenario?" and "What do I stand to gain best case scenario?". Acknowledging that there are potential threats outside of just my lane opponent helped my decision making a lot. But I'm far from done improving... which is why I'm still here, after all 😂
The biggest boost I had come from realizing that even meta changes, players and people don't, so knowing when typical champion/player behaviors are eclipsed by fragile mental/fundamentals, u can break player/teams and win more games. With this I went from hard stuck D4/P1 to grand Master 190lp, it isn't so much but it really was realizing something that simple
My biggest boost is playing yorick, farm 3 lanes, farm enemy camps and some of my jgler's camp (for the reason of I need ghouls). Focus on destroying towers, split pushing and soloing baron if i have 3 items at 20 mins.
honestly, biggest boost was in fact death timers, never gave much thought to it until a saw a video of you guys a couple weeks ago and now I am performing better in jungler than in mid which was priviously my main role becuase now i actually think about what i am doing an maximalizing my gold
My biggest boost was definitely when I understood that minions give a lot of gold, so it's not worth risking 1-2 waves for a 1v1 flip. I started actually enjoying the game after this.

This video is not differentiated enough. You should absolutely group with your team, if you make the difference in winning a teamfight. I have had a kata that refused to play with us (probably because of this video), so we got shoved into base with her continuously pushing sidelane.
People will watch this, fall solo in sideline and flame their team for not using this window of opportunity to make a play or take objectives, when in reality what they did was just wrong.
Biggest boost was to ignore team mates making bad plays
biggest thing ive ever learned was if your teammates are pinging/planning/trying to do something stupid, ignore them. but also, if your team ignores you when you make a baron call or something, dont try to force it. if they arent doing it then just let it go its not worth it
As support it's usually better to follow sketchy calls unless they are straight up int. But that is my hard stuck emerald opinion
I was flamed once for not following my laner every time he left lane…. I only followed when minions were in a good spot, or tried to make plays.
Right. In the beggining i tried to rescu lines, but even if i succeded it ended that same after some time, and ofen i lost time+gold+exp i betwin. I try to build adv on even lane if possible, becase that lane will take adv after meking gold div. and i counterjungel if possible. The loosing lane is offen wrighting schit abot "jungel div" and "0 gank" seting bad mood, but i cant do more then set 2 lans in win condition and hope that the last lane wont feed... mostly they feed like crazy and when im lv10 the enemy laner can already have lv13 (10/0/0)... and my drems are over. In LOL it schould be a system report if thing like this ocure. If someone have 0/10/0 it schould be imidietely 10 minutes penalyty bevor next game, just to give some time to think and start YT to wach how to play. Its just a joke, that after someone died 2x in a row hi is again and again not sitting under turret what ends in dying 3 more times, and after that hi will be kiled under turret if solo in lane wrigting schit od FFing every minute, because hi anone is stuppid enough to die multipple time on a row. (I loved to go Mundo against Riven and after minute 5-6 i could kill both Riven and Jungler together, and after 9 kill her on sight and win the game 1vs9). Riven players are like yasuo on top :P 0/10/0 and full rage ore AFK.
@@dreamerwav698 Totally agree. ive started to only say positive things to my teamates, and if theres nothing positive about them ill mute and focus on myselves. If they dont follow my calls, ill back of and go farm to get a gold lead some other way instead :D
Missfortune doesn't like seen colors, and runs off to turn her screen grey. BEST LINE
i loved that line lol
best punch one
biggest boost was to not focus on what any of my teammates are doing and play my game as best and efficiently as possible single handily took me from gold to diamond in the space of 1 split
Learning how to freeze waves took me from iron to bronze
Lol same
Learning to play jungle to not have to last hit minions took me from Iron 4 to Bronze 4 🗿
Sounds weird but my biggest boost of the win rate was when i realized how much damage minions do in the early game.
Can confirm. I've won more than a few early skirmishes by positioning so the enemy is in my big wave.
So trueeee
Yeah i would forget that minions are agroed, and tank 300 dmg
Playing a lot of bots games has taught me this lesson HARD.
Honestly, what probably helped my laning most were the two rules of:
1. Always push wave before recall and don't greed for platings if it'll cost a good reset time
2. Look to recall when you have ~1k gold
Not greeding for plates is so key, but hurts the soul to do
This is legit one of the best guides by Skill Capped!
Absolutely, what has helped me the most with climbing (as a midlaner) is three things: having a good mentality, rewatch my games to see the mistakes and using dead time, catching waves close to my tower, going to solo lanes... I improved so much watching SkillCapped videos, keep uploading this type of guides! 😊
Realizing that there are many ways to play the Jungle role and that it's better to adapt to the game I'm in rather than adhere to strict guidelines is important. Having an eye to punish the enemy team for every action they take is crucial. Jungle tracking and invading across the map when the enemy jungler goes for ganks is a game changer. These two things alone have helped me passed 70% win rate as jungler
Biggest Boost - Switching to an enchanter Support from an engage support.
I went from a 53% WR thresh to a 71% WR Janna in Emerald 3/4
I think this might be because:
1. If one of my lanes hard win. I can ward/ shadow around them all game.
2. As an Enchanter my job is way more simple. My job is to literally keep my team alive, not make plays.
3. Late game i am very impactful with knock-ups/speed and shields.
Loved the Video @skillcapped I love the design of your website too
LMAO the exact opposite happened to me.
I was a Nami onetrick, only very rarely playing Morgana or Renata Glasc when Nami was banned.
I Never made it out of silver with Nami.
Then I switched to Engage Supps and easily made it to platinum within a single split.
As an Engage Supp you can make the plays and dont have to wait for your ADC to do something.
You can roam so much better, not having to worry about getting oneshot once you walk into fog of war, which allows you to impact other lanes as well, getting your entire team ahead, even before 15min, and not just botlane.
Find your own playstyle. If Enchanter suits you, play enchanter, if you play better with tanks, play tanks. All champs have their advantages and downsides :)
what made you win, was not switching to enchanter, it was playing around your strong teammates/wincondition
@@NoXterium 😂 this could be true,
However during the late game, thresh sucks. And where I try and play around my carries as thresh I have to either sit on top of them, which is hard because thresh hook is not reliable or stand infornt to make picks. Often I would just get fked and die being in front.
i play hwei. after earning 1200 gold it is perma cc lane.

biggest boost definitely quitting adc
lmao
Real
Which is funny because the meta is entirely adc centric atm. If youre consistently the better adc in your games youre gonna win like crazy just cause the role is strong af atm.
@@popelipo6281 its strong OUTSIDE of the bot, atm any damage support can kill adc 2vs2 no problem, so its not only about adc but you have to cooperate with teammate, your success count on your synergy
@@vaclavmajer5488 Doesnt change the fact that adc is the only role that matters in actually winning the game. You can go 20/0 toplane but if the enemy adc is fed you lose the game.
bro, this is much more than just a farming guide
My biggest boost to winrate was my friend telling me to mute chat. Eventually i tried for one game, and i said "well, if I lose, I'll try playing with chat on again".
I didn't lose.
I climbed from silver to plat that week.
bruh!
may i know what champion do u play?
I told the same thing to two friend years ago, they didnt want to listen. Yesterday they removed the chat and now they tell me its like im playing a new game!
Honestly to climb ranks, that's rule number 1, just interface and chat only party

Than you are emerald- so you are tragic player and thats all. Ty for information.
understanding that when you play jungle you can't know every concept you need the best clear and the game will show you what to do don't force decisions
The biggest boost for me was learning to play around waves, like always pushing a wave before a fight or objective
Camera lock hotkeys for teammates. As a jungle main it makes things so much easier to see in constantly on skirmishes, ganks, etc. Helped a ton
how do you do that?
@@jaice2640it's default binded to f1, f2, f3, f4, f5. F1 being yourself and f2 top f3 mid f4 adc f5 support if you're the jungler. Pressing it instantly locks your camera to whoever you want. I binded it to zxcv for easier access
@@jaice2640 The normal hotkeys are F1~F5 it locks the camera on each teammate. Of course you can change this

Biggest boost to me is when i discovered wave management in top lane i literaly got out of iron into high silver, gold. Lets you pick and play many more champions that are not considered S+ but you can still make it work and that is important for top that require you to have big champion pool bigger than most other laners.
Biggest boosts have been: 1. utilizing dead times (especially in jungle), cs gain from doing this is a lot 2. good back timings (push wave before recall for a bounce, recall when at 1000+ gold especially if you can afford an item, matching recalls in mid, backing early as support when lane is killed for roams, not greeding for tower plates) 3. learning to cover empty lanes and match tempo but also when to rotate for key objectives (when it doesn't cost much, which is somewhat understated in these guides sometimes I feel) 4. being positive in game chat towards teammates after good plays and trying to help every lane get ahead at least once (if they aren't completely outclassed and you're ahead), morale is really undervalued in these videos I feel (unless you can hard, hard carry). Lastly, there should be a breakdown as to when midgame ends and transitions to late game as lots think pushing side lanes and letting teammates die is worth when it costs baron and soul (when it usually just ends the game in the enemy's favor).
Knowing when I'm better off feeding everything to my carry and recognizing that my best use right now is cc'ing the enemy carry once and dying for it in a teamfight didn't just boost my winrate, it even made me tiltproof because being bad doesn't prevent me from being useful :^)
2 most impactful things for me: How to create back timings in laning, and how to time backs to match up with your teams pressure in the mid to late game
My biggest boost as a support was not trying to play meta champs but champs I liked.
Also the solo carry mentality is very hard on support as your job is to help the team.
Really appreciate the effort you put in those videos
Watching your guides gave me the biggest boost to my win rate, TY!
me and my friends constantly share videos of yours. i know a lot of the concepts that you talk about, but you explaining it makes it easier to show my friends because its a lot to throw at someone. we have been playing since season 1 and all of them play like silver 1-2, they are improving a lot now (gold 1-3) that we watch your videos and they understand these concepts. i am a support main but have played all roles, i feel like support is the most crucial role in a game, you are the playmaker so knowing a lot of these tactics and skills helps so much. my point being that what ive learned from your videos the most that has helped me get to emerald 3 currently is knowing when to make those plays, which i now know is called dead time/macro. adc shoves the wave cool let me go ward or try to get a roam off mid while he recalls. understanding what to do and when to do it is basic macro stuff. top lane shoved dragon is spawning in 30 seconds cool ward everywhere around dragon at 1 minute and have the team positioned to fight the enemy before they get there. having this in my mind now when i play is game changing. thank you for these videos
The one thing I learned that boosted my win rate is not listening to challenger level players, because what they do in challenger level games doesn't carry over to lower ELO games well. Especially when challenger level players don't agree on what is good and not good. I watched a video just yesterday about jungling and they specifically said don't worry so much about getting your camps every time, because a good gank is worth it if you know what to look out for.
Tower plates are the biggest bait in the world 9/10 times. It usually ends in you dying due to enemy laner buying items to surpass your power, or take a horrible recall timer & lose waves/xp.
It also drives me insane when laners Prio a single tower plate > helping take an objective. Objectives are a wincon, not your 125g.
The Baus disagrees
@semanel2472 based
yet the most infuriating thing for me is the fucking jungler paradox... if I die/recall and my laner shoves, their low hp low mana no-wards ass gets off free taking a plate every time, the moment I even step over the mid line after killing my laner the enemy jungler immediately rushes in to gank. Not even to hold the wave, they just already were setting up a gank waiting for me to go to the plate, and even if i warded then I have to leave still.......... I should start taking note of this so I can actually have a comparison to complain or the evidence to show myeslf its bias
Biggest boost to my winrate (Bronze hardstuck to now a 75% wr Emerald player) was making sure I got the guarenteed income from sidelanes instead of just perma grouping all the time. Was such a huge difference to how ahead I got in games and allowed me to carry.
Recall timers and wave management aside, what I found the most useful was learning tempo. That said, I’d definitely wish I could learn a dozen more specific things to further optimize all my other non mechanical stuff as well as ideas on how to speed up my clears
Wave control and roaming as a support is the most critical thing I've learned from you guys.
I got really decent at the micro skills, but never really knew what to do with all my dead time or how I could make a few different moves to give myself more of it to work with.
This man speaks with so much confidence and assurance that after watching two videos about playing in low elo, I was able to win ten games in a row. This was just because I used the advice he gave about ignoring teammates and trying to take all the gold and experience for yourself to carry. Thank you for the great advice man!
my biggest boost was from neace youtube guides, i went from hovering bronze 3-silver 5 to diamond 5 in like a year because of him... those ranks don't exist anymore, so i think now that'd be equivalent to like iron 1 to emerald 1 or d4 maybe idk, but it was huuge
Looking at the map more was my big winrate booster. I've got a lot of experience with gaming so piloting my character comes relatively naturally, but that habit of checking the minimap OFTEN wasn't there at all. Can't make good decisions with no information.
Biggest boost to my winrate came from Neace during toplaner coaching because he spelled out exactly where to stand and how to cut someone off after landing an ability/auto on them and creating a situation where the enemy doesn't want to trade. Specifics help over larger concepts because it gives things you can go and physically do in your next game, while concepts generally still leaving you asking 'how do I physically do this?' which is difficult to convey without coaching. Neace's style is closer to technical training than conceptual briefing.
This video seems helpful but I'm not sure how easy it will be to implement because it's very conceptual in nature.
The biggest boost to a winrate you could make is to not mental boom or let your teammates get to you theres nothing wrong with just muting someone spam pinging you or perma typing
My biggest bust was your video about the simplifying of league. Also ur positioning guides really helped a lot. It's crazy how just watching numbers can win the game for you. I knew it before but I actually believed that I can learn how to play without being a genius after ur video about the simplicity of league. Also thanks to Hector for the mentality guide. His story really cheers me up when I remind it after the bad games
biggest boost decision making you guys are great by showing me my mistakes
Biggest boosts were twofold (keep in mind I'm still a noob): firstly, knowing about priority so I can push and then roam/deep ward with less risk; secondly doing the "count the enemies" technique of knowing when to go into a teamfight. My teammates don't always listen to me (thanks iron) but at least I have more awareness now and die a lot less.
1. dont argue with teammates since you wont gain anything from it
2. learn your limits no matter if you lose few games since while doing so since in a long run you will be able to play to your absolute limit and actually 1v9 games
Excellent video! I kind of know all this but struggle to consistently do it.. I also loved the kind of mindset you teach at the end, couldn't agree more :)
Biggest boost to me was learning when to push and when not to push. That alone got me from bronze to gold.
i really think that just knowing my limits has helped a lot i’m not the best player but knowing that i’ve been able to play safer and farm till mid game then make my plays
arguably just not paying attention to my teammates is what gave me a huge boost in confidence and in WR. sitting at 68wr this season and I hope it sticks with these lessons
biggest boost was learning about lane quadrants and how to use it to trade
just stoping on one role and 1/2 champions and actually mastering them is the biggest winrate boost for me(from 50 to about 65+)
SMITE vet whos learning league with her friends here! Hope you don't mind me answering in terms of the game I'm more experienced in.
Once I learned the skill of staying calm in fights, instead of just approaching them all with the same strategy, I jumped from Silver to Plat. I still think its the most important thing to know even in a game where the macro is so much more intricate - I think its why I gravitate to spellshield characters like Fiora and Sivir. My ability to just stay calm, understand my win con, and play for it is way above my other stats, and it really carries me when both my mechs and my macro are both pretty bad.
Biggest boost was ignoring low elo teammates having bad games, and to play greedy/ split as midlaner targetting the 700g tower instead of roaming to losing fight.
i love the tip at 24:00, just run it down a lane over and over and feed the most fed person. i'm so ready to climb, i just had to embrace the int!!!!!!! (jokes aside experimenting with map pressure is one of the most fun/powerful concepts for sure haha)
I play ADC
The best things i learned so far are in order
1- Don’t overcommit when informations are missing
2- Stop playing with team and try doing more 2v2 and 3v3 fights when i can actually carry (splitpush too )
3- Laning Phase Matchups with the recent video
Learning better recall timers brought me from a low plat player to a diamond level player
Biggest boost for me in support was diversifying my roster of champs I’m comfortable with. Both to prevent making mistakes from monotony and to pick better matchups.
personally, my ADCs would ALWAYS int and it made it extremely difficult to carry them.
So I swapped to ADC and now I win a lot more games.
about the same as you except that I switched from Support to Midlane. I started support because I felt less pressure because I don't have to carry, but always depending on the other was getting annoying so I ended up switching to maining Ahri in midlane.
biggest boost for me was having the expectation to lose therefore choosing to learn instead regardless of outcome .. took me from 30 game loss streak bronze yi to assassin gold yi haha in one season
24:30
There's a subtle concept here that hasn't been mentioned: level.
After a team fight, if the opponent levels up, the stat benefits alone are worth 600 gold. Similarly, during split-pushing, if you're at a higher level than the opponent, you can't afford to die. If the opponent corners you and levels up, even if you manage to kill four out of five enemies, that's only 1200 gold. If just two of the opponents level up during the process, not counting the shut down, they've already caught up.
Using skillcapped and Learning from Broken By Concept is my back timings and how important they are. Learning how to keep tempo with things so simple it should be criminal to not know it lol.
Spell bainting was for sure the tip that helped me the most
Biggest boost was learning macro from y’all. Such as getting guaranteed gold from waves or camps, split pushing when enemy’s are distracted at an objective or not wasting time trying to help a losing teamfight when I could be getting solo xp and more gold.
actively trading objs when enemy jglr is at an obj, while ignoring my teammates freaking out saying i should coin flip a smite
Coming from playing pretty much exclusively ARAM to playing SR (just normals, tho, I'm not that crazy), basically ANY info about farming and wave control has been a game-changer. Specifically, the concept of setting up good recalls, since recalling is not a thing in ARAM, so I had no idea how to do it well or when to do it at all.
As an OTP Karthus jungle, I regularly get flamed for farming my camps instead of ganking. The most precious advice I got from Skill Capped was the notion of dead time and always focus on the income-risk ratio. I play this champ because I feel insecure with carnivorous junglers and his ludicrous clear speed and global impact lets me just do my thing and see my dead time increase as I get better at optimizing my clear speed.
Jng main, dead time is a concept I plan to put into use in upcoming games. I've already started paying attention to crossmap opportunities. Feels good to get *something* when the other jungle is securing something I can't because of distance or being zoned out.
Definitely saving this video. I am a terrible league player after years of playing and it is 100% due to me blaming teammates and just being super greedy. Farming is a big issue of course, but greed keeps people below gold/plat
I had my biggest boost when I stopped clicking to my lane autopilot midgame and instead went to the lane that I should go depending on that situation
Biggest boost to my winrate came when I learned to not group all the time, along with learning to develop leads in lane through wave management. I went from a hardstuck gold player seasons 5-8 who knew nothing whatsoever about macro strategies, to actually being a pretty solid ADC.
Skill capped was exponentially more helpful to me than other “guide” channels that basically just talk about mindset and other garbage like that in every video. Mindset is important, but it isn’t really going to help someone who just doesn’t know the basic concepts you need for success in the game. Doesn’t help that League’s tutorial does an awful job actually teaching how the game is played.
Biggest winrate boost for me was understanding that everything you do u need to do as fast as possible with no "wondering around the map". Like you are on a timer, because sometimes even a few seconds of you thinking what to do and not actively doing it can change the whole outcome of the game. This took me from hardstuck gold to d4 in around 6 months.
biggest boost was starting to play jungle xD and also watching this video ofc
Biggest boost as a top laner was being willing to be more greedy. Help in less fights. Choose gold over your team almost every time. If you win top lane and aren't the richest person on the map after mid game every time as a non tank, you are wasting your time in ranked. Tier 2 towers are the best objective outside of baron/soul/elder/inhib
I've been watching all of your videos for more than 1 year. I ranked up from iron1 to gold 4. I have fixed something with my game play, your guides boosted me yes but the problem is I dont know what I was doing wrong then and doing correct now
Biggest boost to my WR and my climb was to just commit to teammates silly moves rather than just ignoring them and believing my own calls. Saves their mental, and sometimes my presence can make the difference. Got me from silver to Gold
The Biggest boost to my winrate was to stop playing support characters and roles. Absolute WASTE of time.
biggest boost to me was utilizing dead timer as a jungler, I don't risk ganks when my jungle camps are up, focusing on clearing my camps quickly allows me to have free time to either gank or try to challenge objectives.
Biggest boost in my winrate was not queueing with my friends.. that and mastering 2 champs instead of trying to counter pick. Now i know my matchups and know when not to take a fight, significantly boosting every aspect of my game. 1 tricking is the best thing ive ever done.
Only ganking in situations were is minimum 80% of success or in dead time. Other situations just avoid ganking. I'm D4 right now just by doing this with Kha' zhix, farmming and waiting till the opponent's mistake. Other lines can be inting but i ever keep in the same level as opponent, that allows me to get bountys and get ahead, even when 1 or 2 lines are trolling.
What they don't say during these roams " oh he's risking 200 gold in farm for 300 on a roam kill." U have to account for what you gain for getting that roam kill, the flaming that will occur after the gank, the lead your bot lane gets from the roam. There are other factors to a kill other then gold.
True, ganking isn't about the gold You get, it's about allowing your teammate to take a breath when they're in a bad condition and thus allowing them to get even more gold if they're able to snowball the advantage
Biggest boost to my winrate was to stop fighting - in low elo where I'm at, everyone fights all the time, so instead I started playing veigar, mundo, nasus, and other scaling champs who win if they're even. Then, I just farmed.
It has really been that simple, and I went from a 50% WR in mid-bronze to a 65% winrate in silver/gold.
biggest boost was that "Faker ward" got me from hardstuck gold to emerald easily
what's that
@@MatiasTitanico ward at enemy raptors around 1:15
I’m a wild rift player who’s never played league before and so lack fundamentals. I come here to learn and it is honestly so useful that the games are somewhat similar apart from the pace of gameplay
Learning about this channel has boosted my win rate like nothing else!
Biggest boost was to learn your camps don't go anywhere, your teammates do. If there is a low HP enemy and you are mid clearing a camp, it might not look like you should leave the camp, but if you do you make the enemy laner lose their time while yours gains an advantage and you can easily return to your camp after or even invade, knowing there is a free laner that now can roam and help you if needed
General wave management gave me the biggest boost. Including when to recall how to leave the wave.
The biggest boost give a mid game macro and understanding what your teammates want to do
My biggest boost was just power farming. Not worrying about trying to rank a losing lane. Just get the guaranteed gold on the map
Biggest boost was learning how waves work and how to properly recall! Also understanding how this can vary champ to champ
The biggest thing was ping for your team if their laner is missing and if you are going to roam, it helps so much and doesn't make the weak mental people cry and tilt won me so many games.
Biggest boost as a jungler is not to listen when your teammates ask for ganks cause you're the only one that will know when it's a good time to gank.
Also never listen when they ask for obj, always do what you think is better, which is often to steal ennemy jungle camps as a trade for grubs for example etc.
19:50 Idk how I ended up on this video but as someone who plays like 100 games per year and then forgets about this game, anytime I don't go to help my teammates on their bad plays, they end up crying and just inting as a result. Much easier said than done to ignore lol
best things i learned as a mid vex main is not perma roaming botlane and just pushing my lane and help for my jungler more (by warding or having good pressure for objectives to be played)
Really good guide. I learned this concept from one of the SkillCapped coaches (shout out to Coach Kou!) and it got me from silver to Emerald last season. Of course I had to work on other stuff too in the early game, but I was carrying games way harder because I was able to get gold leads in the mid game even if I was behind early on.
My biggest boost was (in bot):
1. Learning how to push back enemies so they cabt farm
2. Learning how to last hit (there are some weird timings with some characters)
3. Getting my support main friends to play with me so its not lonely and they actually help😅
Why isn't anyone talking about flashing away from gromp @ 2:23? 😅
Bouncing waves as a support and always pathing mid instead of bot, again as a support main. I have had warding down for a long time but honestly this little thing made a big difference.
Honestly, the biggest boost was to realize what 6 Grubs do, and how it synergizes with what low-Elo is like. Getting 6 Grubs means that any lane that was previously winning is now turbo-winning and might just take the enemy's Inhibitor on their own. It's like the concept of "always help the winning lane", except you don't even have to go there. And most low-Elo junglers don't even realize how important Grubs are.
I'd say what helped me improve the most until now was becoming aware of my own tunnel vision and paying more attention to the map.
Now, I constantly think about "Could doing that kill me/other team mates in the worst scenario?" and "What do I stand to gain best case scenario?".
Acknowledging that there are potential threats outside of just my lane opponent helped my decision making a lot.
But I'm far from done improving... which is why I'm still here, after all 😂
The biggest boost I had come from realizing that even meta changes, players and people don't, so knowing when typical champion/player behaviors are eclipsed by fragile mental/fundamentals, u can break player/teams and win more games.
With this I went from hard stuck D4/P1 to grand Master 190lp, it isn't so much but it really was realizing something that simple
Knowing where the jg is when your laning helped me play better, i used to (still do) get camped every game, but now I dont die from the ganks
Best SC guide I've seen so far!
My biggest boost is playing yorick, farm 3 lanes, farm enemy camps and some of my jgler's camp (for the reason of I need ghouls). Focus on destroying towers, split pushing and soloing baron if i have 3 items at 20 mins.
honestly, biggest boost was in fact death timers, never gave much thought to it until a saw a video of you guys a couple weeks ago and now I am performing better in jungler than in mid which was priviously my main role becuase now i actually think about what i am doing an maximalizing my gold
My biggest boost was definitely when I understood that minions give a lot of gold, so it's not worth risking 1-2 waves for a 1v1 flip. I started actually enjoying the game after this.
