You're the goat for coaching! Re watching this relay with commentary I really felt ashamed a lot of the times 😅 Definitely gonna put the tips into practice and improve my game
Honestly showing the tech and how it's used is probably the best part of each video you make, because of how it can even help not mains of those character learn what to look for as well! Keep up the great work man!
2:55 additional height wouldn't have increased throw range as it's limited, going higher could actually decrease throw range, as Z height is apparently counted in throw range too as far as I noticed. Throw range scales with spirit
i for one am no less interested in these videos with the new MM changes, I care about improvement over the rank anyway. I also like that you've been injecting your own personality more in these videos lately, love the minecraft and chill shit at the end
The MM changes are awful cause I don't like playing ranked cause of the rampant sweating, but instantly after the merge hit I've been getting consistently stomped by players way better than me. I'm around average but for some reason my enemies are insanely coordinated scrim teams only ganking never losing lanes etc. Its gotten to the point I genuinely don't want to play cause no matter how much I lose, my opponents are still crazy above my skill level.
I think honestly a good video for like low-mid elo would be just going in depth on when to take fights and when not to. I feel like a lot of us are used to other games where if you're not in the fight you're playing wrong.
I don't like the new patron VOs either, but it might be because i got so used to the previous ones. The old ones were super weird as well at first for how slow they talked, but once you got used to it, they were pretty unique
This is a strategy that will work very very well in low ELO as well. The lower the elo, the easier it gets to split push and get a walker for free while there's a massive teamfight on another lane. But this also definitely works in emissary. You just have to be pre careful when to back out
Lash plays a little different than most of the cast. You have two primary jobs as lash. _Engage_ and _Clean-up_ Lash is great at starting a fight, but not staying in one. The idea is to hit like a missle, and dip out without dying. Lash is great at cleaning up a fight. You team engages on a fight, they're winning. As the opponent tries to escape, Lash can use a combination of his 1 and Ult to finish anyone fleeing.
I think the idea with the early Siphon buy is that Siphon Bullets in particular is best early on since it doesn't scale with your character's stats and instead scales with time spent fighting and getting kills. Probably the wrong play in this case, though, since his team was already decently behind on souls so at that point you need all of the high value 3k items you can get.
yeah I've seen some lashes build it since but I think it's more of a situational item and not a baseline for a build. And at this elo I think the core of a player's build should be simple. But I can understand someone disagreeing with me
Game is a disaster right now. Not only are there an infinite amount of bugs and performance issues since the last big patch, but combined queue is awful. I went from a low Phantom player to whatever the purple rank is just because 3/4 games I play have teammates that either leave, don't give a fk or are new. All my friends have stopped playing and based on the player count this last week they really messed things up. October was peak Deadlock
4:35 flog was actually not up at the time. The replay viewer is buggy but you can see Lash using flog around 4:29, so there's no way even with level 2 flog that he'd have it back up within 7s. Overall I think your videos are great but I just wanted to point that out for the future. Same thing with 3:52. Lash uses flog, and assuming Flog is level 2, it will have a 12 second CD, but you point out around 4:03 that he has flog up (he really doesn't). You can even see how when he engages that seven, he uses slam and flog, but the replay viewer does not show them on CD.
This is super helpful, but calling Emissary low rank is pretty insulting to those of us who are actually in low rank 😂 It’s slap bang in the middle of the bell curve…
Sick vid but can you state that you are watching someone play and it's not your gameplay? It took me two minutes in to realize you are coaching over someone's gameplay. I know you said, "today we are doing Emissary Lash," but im already focued on the micro laning stuff lol. "Today im looking over this Lash's game and seeing if i can coach him for better future games." Something. I was watching the few first clips thinking you were making the interesting choices, and you saying how you could improve. No hate, keep it up brother ❤
@@eebbaa5560 oof a long way to go for me , its still fine tho I barely have like 30hours in the game , with no moba background I didnt expect to get into mid elo even
@@matrix9155 yeah for 30 hours with no background that’s not bad at all. i’ve played a ton of league and i have 200+ hours in deadlock now. i’m actually just bad at games lol
Lots of wrong advice in this video, be careful on how confident you are on what you tell people because for example at 6:00 you talk about how solo ulting a paradox is apparently "bad" when there are plenty of reasons why what he did was good. It was an open lane, and lash should generally stay in the open, he should take whoever he can out of the fight.
You're the goat for coaching! Re watching this relay with commentary I really felt ashamed a lot of the times 😅 Definitely gonna put the tips into practice and improve my game
no need to feel ashamed we're all just trying to improve. And for sure, I'm glad the tips were helpful
Bro it's like watching myself play.

thank you so much!
I'm running out of lash tech but I got more in the next video just for you
This dude represents every teammate i ever get. Just perma fighting no matter what
yeah you just have to split and fight with them when there's a point
4:30 the replay is bugged, he does press flog in the air, you see the stomp cd also isnt shown
The fight before where flog was pointed out as unused, was used I believe
Goat video flow. Very natural. Also good thumbnail.
thank you :) I'm trying a new thumbnail style
2:55 additional height wouldn't have increased throw range as it's limited, going higher could actually decrease throw range, as Z height is apparently counted in throw range too as far as I noticed. Throw range scales with spirit
oh thank you for the clarification. Good to know!
i for one am no less interested in these videos with the new MM changes, I care about improvement over the rank anyway. I also like that you've been injecting your own personality more in these videos lately, love the minecraft and chill shit at the end
thank you! I'm glad you guys are enjoying my personality :)

awesome vids as always midknight :] Hope u get bigger in the deadlock scene
Thank you :) I hope so too

That's one of the videos I've thought about but I feel like it's really just as simple as fight over objectives or when you have a player advantage
I don't like the new patron VOs either, but it might be because i got so used to the previous ones.
The old ones were super weird as well at first for how slow they talked, but once you got used to it, they were pretty unique
yeah it's an odd change
good one
thank you :)
Is emissary considered low rank? It is halfway through, the most average.
not really after the shift in ranks, I just titled it that for the sake of the thumbnail

Ranked will always be here it’s consistent on skill rating now and it still scales when you win or lose
yeah but they might hide the ranks again because of negative player feedback which wouldn't be great for my channel. Hopefully not though

1 minute ago gang rise up #stayhard
i need to join one of these raffles i haven’t played much lately though
yeah I get that, the new patch has been a little rough to play on

I wonder why matchmaking is so bad rn, it was pretty good in ranked, but it seems like they didnt transfer it to this patch
@@babab0iii699 people are queueing with their friends in ranked now and the new mmr system is really thrown off with them combining ranks
@@Midknighttxt There's a convar you can set to play solo queue.
Its 7 am and im losing it at the wraith using ethereal shift on the melee but not parrying it
lmfao yeah you can hear how it got to me recording this at 4am
20:34 "ERROR" in the smoke lol
yeah idk why that's just in every replay

yeah I appreciate you pointing it out, I just saw the cd on the vod when I was editing so I wasn't really watching the game
4:03 he did use the flog while in the air a few seconds ago man
You should stream!
I want to, I just need to find the time

I could switch up the intro for sure
low rank videos when
I just do videos on whoever wins the discord raffle
@@Midknighttxt i pray that the next one will be a very very low rank game, so that you have LOTS to say. It'd be very helpful.
@@OliviaMeowlody yeah, I plan a couple days in advance so the next two are phantom and emissary but you can see the schedule in my discord
The quality and player of the game seems far too poor for emissary, probably due to the change in ranks and because ranked and casual is mixed
If emissary is low elo , then what about alchemist ( I am definitely not alchemist 💀)
archon/oracle is where mid elo starts according to the ranked distribution (i’m in emissary)
@@eebbaa5560 oof a long way to go for me , its still fine tho I barely have like 30hours in the game , with no moba background I didnt expect to get into mid elo even

Be careful on how confident you are as well.
Better to stay low-elo and aim Haze or Vindicta players and make them quit the game.
mcginnis too
its a good video but please stop talking in first person its so confusing
