Not gonna lie, some of these gave such an easy and fresh perspective on the game. That was the point of those answers, but its weird that I never thought of it that way. Thank you Hector, bless your work
Massive respect for answering the question of "Is Skill-Capped worth it" and being willing to point out a couple weaknesses of the platform. I was a subscriber for a bit and honestly I'd still be one even though I don't play League these days - just because I like watching the videos - but, money's tight now. I'd definitely recommend Skill-Capped to anyone who finds these videos helpful or entertaining, because there is so much more to see on their site.
I mean true, but they haven't really pointed anything out. I bet there are issues they know about, that they haven't pointed out, that are worse, but I don't blame them for that. It's a business like any. Don't forget that guys.
@@morosov4595 they pointed out most of the only real issues. The only thing they didnt mention is that they dont have enough champion specific guides like combos and such. But maybe they've fixed that since I was a subscriber last year.
@@theSato I think by far the biggest problem, that they even point out in this video and in the "new player guide" is the clickbait. The tierlists are useless for low elo. So are a lot of videos, where they say. "This one thing is losing you games." Where in the video they show a highly specific scenario, where most of the time, you wouldn't do that play in any other circumstances.
@@morosov4595 I don't think clickbait is a major problem relevant to the s-c platform - on TH-cam of course there's clickbait and sensationalizing, but everyone does that.. gotta do what you gotta do to lure people in to give you a shot. When I was a subscriber, I didn't really see any of that on the platform itself. But yeah, I can see how someone would be annoyed by it. And some people wont have that much to gain by being a subscriber, it's much more worth it for a true bronze-gold beginner player
@@theSato I don't have a problem with "legitbait" (See Veritasium video, great explaination), but when the content of the video is just so you can make a title is where I draw the line. Yes the clickbait is everywhere, that doesn't mean anything though.
Yeah let’s go ahead and make this a series please 🤭 I learned more in 15 minutes than I have all week, even having watched dozens of hours of SC content
This is one of the best videos you guys have made. Hector your work helps people and pays the bills so it’s just as legitimate as anything else. A chess coach, music teacher, or sports coach has no more value than you
I barely play league. But legit just stay subscribed to skill capped for Hector. Also this was very concise. I appreciated how direct the answers were. My question is, is there a way to accelerate knowing when to break the rules? Or another way, how do i recognize play patterns in the game to know what i should prioritize past the laning phase.
I don’t play at all anymore, haven’t for a while. I still love watching Hector because he is usually miserable and it makes me feel better that i’m not playing.
In LoL, as in other competitive games, I assume just limit testing is best Play 200 games on a champion you want to play to see what works, what doesnt. One good advice is don't ban anything in ban phase, just ask if your team wants ban for themselves You want to have enemies at their best to see what they can punish, so dont ban for yourself Another thing is ask friends of higher rating, if you have any (ideally Diamond 2+) whether what you try to do is punishable. Explain to them what you want to do and whether it can work out. But also dont take it too close to heart, my D2 friend when I was first week in LoL thought Morgana had 1.5s before stun in ult, not 3s so he made wrong calls
I'd say for past laning phase in particular don't prioritize drakes unless they are free or if you want to trade Nash/Herald while enemy is already taking either. If enemies take Drake you may want to just take Nash/Herald in return, it's called mirrored pressure, but you have to do it simultaneously or enemies will come (put a transitional ward in mid in one of the 4 paths leading to river and maybe mid river bush, this way you will see if enemies are coming) The paths leading to river from mid give you a lot of time to prepare for an attack and prevent multiple crossroads from being compromised with wards/enemies coming. A lot of people ward the long bush in river next to mid, but its last notice ward and doesnt show you enemies anywhere else, while road wards give you 3-6 directions with 2 wards
The best ward informarion wise per game is river small bushes next to Drake Pit and Nash Pit Ideally keep Nash and Drake warded with pink, this will make it so enemies cant push until they have ward there or you can take objective for free. Also dont try to take Drake or Nash in 5v5 and try to avoid 5v5 alltogether if you can pick enemies off in 2v2s or similar
@@ArkeniusTV Thank you i'll do my best to apply this. Though do you know when to prioritize towers over teamfights? My current understanding is, apply crossmap pressure or pressure in general whenever possible. Gold is more important than anything else so do whatever gives you more gold more consistently. Don't go into dangerzones/passed vision unless you're in an advantagous position of know where the enemy teams threats are and that you can avoid them. So any general rules of thumb that can help me choose when to better apply or neglect those rules would be greatly appreciated
The thing I love most about this video, compared to almost every other coach and coaching service, is your honesty about the usefulness of your service. You wouldn't in a million years catch Neace admitting that he has flaws when it comes to coaching high elo.
Not gonna lie, this video was more helpful than any other video you guys have put out. Simply because it puts your mind at ease regarding some topics players tend to overthink. I'd love to see more of these videos.
I recently got coached by a friend and this video just further convinced me that League is not complicated. There are very simple ways to explain every fundamental concept. My friend explained things to me that I never understood, but he said it so concisely that all of the sudden it clicked and I'm climbing again.
I take in so much of your content that I didn't really expect to learn anything new, but the losing castor minions and afk support mindsets really blew my mind. Very good wisdom Hector, much appreciated. P.S Your job pays (I hope) while having a massive positive impact in your community = WIN WIN
Hi, really nice and informative video. If there is a second part, here is my question: How do I ward/defend myself as a midlaner vs an invisible jungler e.g.: Evelynn, shaco or maybe even nocturne. Thanks for the content
Hi there!, i'm a master midlaner myself and i tend to struggle with that a lot back in the day. What i would advice is try to ward their camps, for example and the most likely camp to do that on is raptors, evelyn is not in stealth when she is is doing her camp so that gives you a lot of information, most likely she will walk towards the next camp in the other side of the jungle, which gives you even more information. Hover the side of the raptors now, You know she is probably not there anymore so that gives you way more safety. And if she puts her W (her charm) on to you a minute later, walk towards the side of the raptors. the chances of her being there is almost 0. which means u should be quite save. For nocturne on the other hand, Ward deep. the still concepts apply tho. But you just need to know the R range, look that up in the practice tool and make sure to ward 1 side of your lane and if u can, as deep as possible. Same goes for high movement speed junglers like hecarim and rammus. For shaco, try to ward behind the small river walls on mid, so you can see the area between the vision plant and the raptors, they mostly gank by jumping over the wall in stealth, but if you can see them beforehand, you can walk away with no issues. this also applies for twitch. Hope this helps you!
I really love this type of video, I will enjoy it more once you get the most common questions that you guys covered in your videos already and we get some nuance and specific questions.
literally my last game we did exactly what you're saying at 07:55 and won effortlessly - got top inhib and they couldn't contest either Baron *or* Dragon Soul because they had to defend their base. put a little smile on my face when you told me something I did completely by accident can win a game. thanks!
This was one of the best SC videos I've ever seen! ( I watch every video that isn't about jng ) I think in general it is easy to start playing league, then sort of figure out what to do and then try to incorporate advanced or average concepts but rarely do people focus on the actual fundamentals. League doesn't tell you a lot of details, some of which are quite important. My questions that I would love to see answered, would be simar to this: Could you please explain the absolute basics of the game that are rarely talked about, like gold acquisition, timing windows and itemization? how important is missing cs that you could've gotten, how much gold do you get from plates or from roaming or farming normally or farming super minions for X minutes? how fast do waves come and take to bounce back after a crash or when they are pushing away or if a lazy enemy only farms two waves when it crashes? how does this change with supers, how long does it take to walk to midlane/toplane or roam, and with boots? About itemization: what items combine well and which do you buy depending on what factor (how for example do I know how effective a less used buildpath is without having to test in game or even practice tool)? Beginners but also proficiant players may know some or most of these, but then still hearing concepts like this clearly explained by someone who really mastered these topics could help greatly to see the game more clearly and from a new perspective, allowing us to prioritise better and better recognise opportunities that arise! It's like hector always shows us in his challenges, that he understands the game so well that he knows what other game mechanics/systems to rely on to still pull ahead.
i can't exaggerate how helpful that felt like changing my mindset to see things in better perspective and surely would like more of this type of videos thank u guys
12:50 If all three lanes are losing, you cannot usually "just go kill them for overextending". Your allies are losing because they are passive and bad. You will almost always just die alone if you gank losing lanes. Best plan is to save your limited mental stamina and go next.
I am around plat 1, I win my lane (top) consistently and my playstyle is split all game until I have to tp to the fight but i still only have a 55% winrate. And often it really sucks having 0/5 bot lane at 14 minutes.
I relate so much with point 6 about the team araming mid, because it happens EVERY SINGLE GAME. Bot takes first tower and instantly shifts mid and start taking cs wherever they can, setting me as a midlander even further back.
Q and A seems really efficient since most people just wanna climb. Spécific vidéos are good but global vidéos like this. And especially this q and a format is amazing. Really learned essential tips quickly here
My ego and impatience loses me more games than my team ever can. “I’m bored, I wonder if I can outplay this warw…… nvm…” “I want dragon, I shouldn’t but I want it. Risk it? Fk it…. 💀 “
I'm glad to hear that you guys are adding a search function. I'm a big fan of skillcapped content but I feel like the structure of the site is definitely holding in back.
I've found, as a top laner, I will just start chewing through jungle minions and side lanes to catch up, even if my JG doesn't like it. They are usually less effective anyway, when the team is behind, than a top laner. I can get myself up to 10-12 cs per minute each game by doing this. That is a lot of cash. Might be different at higher elo, but in Silver, it has secured the win, even after losing 3 inhibs, on multiple occasions.
12:35 For me the huge problem is as a jungler, what do i do when if my lanes lose and still PUSH THE FCKIN HELL OUT OF IT and still die so there is no laner to gank ?
Watching more than playing is actually true. I thought I would never make it into gold but I did when I finally started watching a ton of spearshot (i main pantheon) and then I got into gold. Watching how they play the matchups was far more efficient than if I were to try and keep playing
Love this concept. Would love to see more. My question: if you are playing jungle and one of your lanes turbo ints and the other team now has a massively fed threat that starts roaming and pressuring other lanes. how do you respond? do you avoid them and let them do whatever they want? do you try and shut them down so they dont get bigger? would love an answer, great content 👍
This has to be one of the best videos so far, just to add a some questions, the obvious is what happens if all my lanes are pushing, as this is one common question, also maybe another set of tricks for jungle tracking? After Laning phase it always becomes a mess and also if the enemy jungler doesn't really have a "path" how to punish
the problem I've been having with splitpushing is that setting up a lane for split pushing takes time. Let's say I was splipushing as my team do dragon and the enemy team comes to stop me. I get a tower, a kill, my team gets dragon but I die for it. When I respawn every lane is once again pushed into our towers and someone else in the team is dead. I'll go to one of the lanes and start pushing it out. Meanwhile 2 of my teamates are randomly invading the enemy jungle on the other side and both die for free. Now the enemies are pushing 5v3 in mid, which means I have to back or inhib dies, and then nexus, and I haven't even reached a tower yet. scenario 2. I never died, but my teammates weren't pressuring anything and the entire enemy team is missing. They only have inhib turrets left. If I just keep pushing the lane until I reach a turret so that I am ready to spplitpush, I will get 5man ganked and die, and my team won't do anything with that pressure. so I can't really push it far past the river, and then when it's finally time to splitpush, by the time I reach a tower, my entire team is dead and the enemy team will end the game by the time I get an inhib
I've watched your content for more than 2 years and one thing that I've realized is that you should always question your decision like when some of your videos asks us, viewers, which one are correct choice. I've bern watching my replays win or lose so I can understand where I did wrong and whether I did right decision, most of the times if I cannot remember/explain why I did the things in game I'd assume that that's a wrong decision to do.
I've had laners die pre 3-camps and spam pinging for ganks before. Tbh muting them and keeping a calm mental is one of the most effective ways to have a chance at winning the game. Granted you'll almost always have at least one game where someone decides to grief due to their own frustration, and all I can say is play around the team members who are calm and still have a chance of winning
I would appreciate videos on decision making and how to better watch the map as a mid laner. My map is actually really big. it's just hard to get into the habit of looking at it. I often find myself and my team not looking at the map, which ends up making us make bad decisions. If there is a video or course already, let me know. Also, I do have a sub to your site. Otherwise, I would like a video on pathing to another lane. I started out iron 1, went all the down to iron 4 75 LP, and am currently at bronze 4 56 LP with my peak at Bronze 3 80 LP.
The low elo ADC support experience: your support uses all of their abilities on the wave, denying you CS and then proceeds to overextend with all of their abilities on cooldown and dies. How do you deal with that?
I get it, macro is laning phase works for people who fully grasp that concept.. but it doesn’t help those people who don’t understand why I’m pushing lanes instead of contesting the 3v5 at dragon.
Several reviews say that the guides on skill capped are not up to date. When were the guides last updated, and how often can we expect for them to updated? Thanks
This was a really great and informative video! My question is: How do I get better at understanding when I can invade as a top laner, or take my jungler's camps, when I hard shoved a wave and nothing is really going on?
Omg hector you opened my eyes with the 70% watch 30% play rule😳 tell me what player to watch to carry from jungle with j4, vi, sejuani, zac etc I want to wach a educational stream not just content creators
Make a series please. My question: How do I increase my chance of winning when my champion is terrible against a certain team comp? It is really rare I admit, but you have to admit too, that playing katarina against a full stun team comp is pretty bad. Everyone gets their worst case scenario teamcomp in the enemy sometimes, how do we play those games to have the best chances?
What to do when you can't figure what to do or you keep falling behind or you fell off so hard you're getting wiped out everytime you step up to do something to help or how to deal with a tank that can't be stopped.
Now the hardest question: what should I do if I play the game since season 2, put in several thousand hours, watched all your videos and tons of streamers and still the highest I ever peaked was Silver I? ... probably just quit, right? But please admit that your guides won´t fix every ones issues if the mechanics and multitasking skills are just toooo bad
The avoid the fed players tip is brilliant. Honestly I’m 10-0 now lol. Whereas I used to just dog pile the fed player with my team and give up more gold.
In Vietnam I cannot apply some of the concepts because they just jump in no matter what they have. They 3v5 4v5 even when they don't have any summoner spells. Literally they face each other and they jump in. What do I even have to do ?
I started playing league like 2 weeks ago. But years ago I’d play smite pretty competitively. And low Elo league games are pretty funny bc ppl are ez to piss off, impatient, and can get kited like the trainer npcs. Started iron now I’m plat

Hi, really nice and informative video. If there is a second part, here is my question: How do I ward/defend myself as a midlaner vs an invisible jungler e.g.: Evelynn, shaco or maybe even nocturne. Thanks for the content
Let's add Twitch to that since he's really popluar botlane right now.
twitch and eve can be seen with control wards so put them in bushes
As Phat Ho already said, cobtrol wards against Eve and Twitch. Against Shaco you need to ward deeper so you spot him before he yses q
Also, if you get a ward on their camps you can see them clearing, that's helpful
Hi there!, i'm a master midlaner myself and i tend to struggle with that a lot back in the day. What i would advice is try to ward their camps, for example and the most likely camp to do that on is raptors, evelyn is not in stealth when she is is doing her camp so that gives you a lot of information, most likely she will walk towards the next camp in the other side of the jungle, which gives you even more information.

And if she puts her W (her charm) on to you a minute later, walk towards the side of the raptors. the chances of her being there is almost 0. which means u should be quite save.

For shaco, try to ward behind the small river walls on mid, so you can see the area between the vision plant and the raptors, they mostly gank by jumping over the wall in stealth, but if you can see them beforehand, you can walk away with no issues. this also applies for twitch.

Watching more than playing is actually true. I thought I would never make it into gold but I did when I finally started watching a ton of spearshot (i main pantheon) and then I got into gold. Watching how they play the matchups was far more efficient than if I were to try and keep playing
I want a 2 hour version of this
Great video, waiting for more :) learned something today
I love how you guys featured Kesha as the face of "fun" then immediately got attacked as a Shaco OTP XD.
thank you, hector.
Now do a video on this for each specific role and then each specific champ. Content for days
Love this concept. Would love to see more.
My question: if you are playing jungle and one of your lanes turbo ints and the other team now has a massively fed threat that starts roaming and pressuring other lanes. how do you respond? do you avoid them and let them do whatever they want? do you try and shut them down so they dont get bigger? would love an answer, great content 👍
Reality is im learning more when i can't play. That's so true
I don’t get the family reunion skit at the beginning. I would be giddy talking about my passion with my family
This video was awesome. Please do more of these.
we like you hector.
Thanks for these vids. This one was really helpful.
hey hector your work is valuable
This has to be one of the best videos so far, just to add a some questions, the obvious is what happens if all my lanes are pushing, as this is one common question, also maybe another set of tricks for jungle tracking? After Laning phase it always becomes a mess and also if the enemy jungler doesn't really have a "path" how to punish
Veigarmain22 asked the real question.
i feel you
the problem I've been having with splitpushing is that setting up a lane for split pushing takes time. Let's say I was splipushing as my team do dragon and the enemy team comes to stop me. I get a tower, a kill, my team gets dragon but I die for it. When I respawn every lane is once again pushed into our towers and someone else in the team is dead. I'll go to one of the lanes and start pushing it out. Meanwhile 2 of my teamates are randomly invading the enemy jungle on the other side and both die for free. Now the enemies are pushing 5v3 in mid, which means I have to back or inhib dies, and then nexus, and I haven't even reached a tower yet.
scenario 2. I never died, but my teammates weren't pressuring anything and the entire enemy team is missing. They only have inhib turrets left. If I just keep pushing the lane until I reach a turret so that I am ready to spplitpush, I will get 5man ganked and die, and my team won't do anything with that pressure. so I can't really push it far past the river, and then when it's finally time to splitpush, by the time I reach a tower, my entire team is dead and the enemy team will end the game by the time I get an inhib
Best advice - give wing tower early if you are massively behind in lane and protect mid at all costs
"im going to assume that most of you are going for a sensible goal like diamond or master..."
then theres me trying to just get outta iron---
I've watched your content for more than 2 years and one thing that I've realized is that you should always question your decision like when some of your videos asks us, viewers, which one are correct choice. I've bern watching my replays win or lose so I can understand where I did wrong and whether I did right decision, most of the times if I cannot remember/explain why I did the things in game I'd assume that that's a wrong decision to do.
Thanks Hector but I'm still trying to figure out what to tell my mid when they spam ask for a gank and I haven't finished my first camp
Mute Pings and decide what is the best course of action for your pos.
Oh, that was a rhetorical question? Oops
@@nekrosis4431 I've definitely started muting everything this year 😅
I've had laners die pre 3-camps and spam pinging for ganks before. Tbh muting them and keeping a calm mental is one of the most effective ways to have a chance at winning the game. Granted you'll almost always have at least one game where someone decides to grief due to their own frustration, and all I can say is play around the team members who are calm and still have a chance of winning
good video. more questions plz. i feel they appeal to more players than the more specific videos.
3:52 Lol I just watched this clip from the DWG Kia channel xD
I would really appreciate Skillcapped making a mobile app. As the format would allow me to easily listen while I'm away from home.
I would appreciate videos on decision making and how to better watch the map as a mid laner.
My map is actually really big. it's just hard to get into the habit of looking at it.
I often find myself and my team not looking at the map, which ends up making us make bad decisions. If there is a video or course already, let me know. Also, I do have a sub to your site.
Otherwise, I would like a video on pathing to another lane.
I started out iron 1, went all the down to iron 4 75 LP, and am currently at bronze 4 56 LP with my peak at Bronze 3 80 LP.
Very good video indeed. This kind of content is very welcome!
This is surely one of the best videos
Love this Q&A!
Thank you Hector, very nice and informative video!
The low elo ADC support experience: your support uses all of their abilities on the wave, denying you CS and then proceeds to overextend with all of their abilities on cooldown and dies. How do you deal with that?
I get it, macro is laning phase works for people who fully grasp that concept.. but it doesn’t help those people who don’t understand why I’m pushing lanes instead of contesting the 3v5 at dragon.
Several reviews say that the guides on skill capped are not up to date. When were the guides last updated, and how often can we expect for them to updated? Thanks
he said to show support to get more videos like this, so here I am
2:10 hahahahaha I'd never expect that by you guys 😂
Time stamp your videos...it is 2023 skill capped
Really informative video thank you for making it would love to see another
This was a really great and informative video!
My question is: How do I get better at understanding when I can invade as a top laner, or take my jungler's camps, when I hard shoved a wave and nothing is really going on?
Omg hector you opened my eyes with the 70% watch 30% play rule😳 tell me what player to watch to carry from jungle with j4, vi, sejuani, zac etc I want to wach a educational stream not just content creators
YESS HECTOOR IN THE TITLEE
Make a series please. My question: How do I increase my chance of winning when my champion is terrible against a certain team comp? It is really rare I admit, but you have to admit too, that playing katarina against a full stun team comp is pretty bad. Everyone gets their worst case scenario teamcomp in the enemy sometimes, how do we play those games to have the best chances?
1:00 that's such a rude thing to say.
Next time someone asks, tell them your job is to crush bugs!
Good video! I enjoyed it a lot
Thanks for the video! I would like some advice on how to close out games fast
What to do when you can't figure what to do or you keep falling behind or you fell off so hard you're getting wiped out everytime you step up to do something to help or how to deal with a tank that can't be stopped.
Now the hardest question: what should I do if I play the game since season 2, put in several thousand hours, watched all your videos and tons of streamers and still the highest I ever peaked was Silver I? ... probably just quit, right? But please admit that your guides won´t fix every ones issues if the mechanics and multitasking skills are just toooo bad
The avoid the fed players tip is brilliant. Honestly I’m 10-0 now lol. Whereas I used to just dog pile the fed player with my team and give up more gold.
In Vietnam I cannot apply some of the concepts because they just jump in no matter what they have. They 3v5 4v5 even when they don't have any summoner spells. Literally they face each other and they jump in. What do I even have to do ?
Well counter roaming can be good sometimes you just have to make sure you have vision and know where their jungler is
We love Hector
I started playing league like 2 weeks ago. But years ago I’d play smite pretty competitively. And low Elo league games are pretty funny bc ppl are ez to piss off, impatient, and can get kited like the trainer npcs. Started iron now I’m plat
the clip of kesha getting hype XD
