Number 11 can't be emphasized enough. I've spent enough time in low ELO to know that 9 out of 10 low ELO players, after having lost lane, continue to try to fight the enemy laner who is 2 levels and 50 CS ahead. As a jungler main, it's the most infuriating thing ever because after they've gone 0-5 they start spam pinging you, demanding that you come deal with the 5-0 Darius they fed breakfast, lunch and dinner to.
That's the main reason why I don't want to play jungle at all. You're always the "idiot" and then people tilt even more if you don't "help" them, which would just end in a double or triple kill for the enemy, anyways. That would probably destroy all the fun I (sometimes) have with league D:
1. play around level 2 spike, level 6 spike, item spikes or any powerspikes in general top/mid lvl 2 after 1 wave and 1 melee bot lvl 2 after 1 wave and 2 melees 2. focus more on farming if farm isnt around 75cs 3. play around low hp minions 4. play around CD or SS: Trade when spell misses, play safe when burned flash, eny flashed? => ping + 5min 5. ward pixel bush at 1:20 6. Base after kill 7. Time basing when the cannon wave is arriving. Hard shove the wave before 8. Freeze waves when it's safe 9. Change playstyle based on matchup or teamcomp. against heavy early, try to stay even in farm full ad camp, buy early cloth armor 10. Change position in lane based on wards and jungler location 11. Stop fighting and try to stay alive and farm when behind. 12. Buy pink wards if you have some gold left everytime. 13. Play around bushes to drop minion agro or hide abilities 14. Use bushes to set up a freeze 15. Play around minion wave size. 16. Watch minion map often, when not trading, basing... 17. Rotate to help. If your jungler is fighting for crab go help. 18. Don't greed for turret plating or tower damage early on. THINK! Is it worth it? 19. U dead? dont use SS 20. Use SS quick before you might get chained cc. 21. Shove and roam if you are in front. low risk high reward.
Rip mate, keep at it, everyone starts somewhere. The first 2 years I played I was stuck in Bronze/Silver so sometimes it just takes people longer to grasp concepts and such.
yep you go straight up divisons when you reach 100 lp, i know this cause one of my alts is sadly iron and i got it to bronze without worrying about promos
this is for low elo players who probably weren’t around when they were called pink wards. he’s talking about control wards for anyone who doesn’t know.
Or there's also that moment where you try to focus on farming but you're going up against that douchebag smurf who can harrass and farm at the same time.
O8SOL3TE if you can’t do both at the same time you’ll never jump in elo try and think like they do if they see you running up for a low health minion try and harass them before you then take if you can idk it’s simple after a while
this is the problem people hate smurfs. Rather then learning from them you get tillted by them. I was once a broce 1 player I spammed normal games didnt play a lot of ranked. Then sudenlly I saw these high elo players or smurfs you call them in my games. I mean I was laning against a master tier yasuo with my yasuo and we fought he would outplay me and my jungler sometimes I would do that to them. People need to test themselfes. I used to force myself not using flash defencivelly always looking to outplay opponents ofc I died a lot I fed alot but then I could do it and I would turn to pick a kill.I managed to learn from them then after some time I played ranked and I saw how better I became in reading the game matchups lane positioning and other things. Now I have around 10 acc ranging from high Diamond to low silver mostlly having fun in low elo games. But you see I also teach people that lane against me to try and play better if they show some knowledge in the game we just had. Beacuse I was once that scrub lord that thinks its his team that hold him down and so on. But I guess people would rather take eazy way out. Also turn off the autoatack for the love of the game. Actually worst thing you can have active by far
@@rtwiceorb770 yeah you can learn from players better than you but getting completely stomped by a smurf teaches essentially nothing these players can take out noobs even if they just farm under turret
@@lukef1131 I used to be crap in game as well untill I spamed normals and got into high diamond/master tier games whille being bronce. Now I used to play my main champion obviouslly and I got to see how they play and why they play like they do. I got knowledge beacuse I was interested in learning not winning. The entire point of ranked is not to spam grind it beacuse you dont learn you should focus on learning and test your limitations always. So when I met a master tier yasuo main the same champion as me we had a goo. Sometimes Enemy ganks I outplay and end up with a kill and alive some times he outplays me and my jungler and sometimes I just die so I started to focus on susing flash agresivelly and never defencivelly. This pushed me to think about can I escape a gank without using a flash. After the game ended a said yasuo player looked my acc said no way you are bronce your skill lvl is atleast diamond. This was for me recognition of me actually improving in my midlane knowledge. So I did a second acc repeated a proces but with jungle and now I can track enemy jungle based of jungle camps and his clear based on cs and his first gank. So yea now I am Diamond 1 player last season highest was a master tier promos that I failed and I have acc all the way to silver 4on which I have fun and get them to gold as season ends to get a skin.
Yeah, sometimes it's very hard to just try and farm against certain champs like Draven with an engage support like Pyke. Naturally they'll have lane priority do you play passively behind minions but the Draven can push you off farm allowing the Pyke to come and hook you towards them. Of course you're gonna say "just dodge his hooks" well yeah not wrong but you can't dodge everything and when they do hit that hook that Draven is already 237774/0 destroying your nexus when you still have all your outer turrets up
@@hermesthegreek5247 To me happens always the opposite, im supp with no mana and no summ spells and ofc my adc with half hp go in 1v2 and then blame me 😅😅
The tip at 9:20 is, in my opinion, one of the most important tips in the game. A LOT of people I've played with get upset when they're not the one carrying the game to victory, and they either intentionally feed or make incredibly risky decisions with low chances of success, which can feed that cycle of them dying over and over again. It is fundamentally an inability to see success as anything but what's on the scoreboard, and while the scoreboard is usually a good indicator of what team won the game, it's not the actual "Victory" or "Defeat" screen. The most important part of this tip is understanding where your team's strengths are when you get to the midgame and playing around that. If you're playing top and you're 0/4, but your ADC is 5/0, even if you're playing a carry champion, you should change your focus to enhancing that ADC's ability to carry. The logical conclusion is to hold your CC abilities for when people jump on your ADC so that you can save them. But most players in low ELO don't think dynamically across the timespan of the game like this.
Fastest way to climbing isn't learning how to carry. It's how to GET carried. You have a certain % to carry yourself, but an 80% chance (4 teammates) to get carried. Bet on the 80%.
@@Nazuiko not really. You have 4 teamates with a 50% per cent chance to outperform the enemy each. If you have a 50% chance to outperform too, or just focus too much on not dragging down the game, each game essentially becomes a coinflip. If you win 50% of your games, you don't really climb, at least not quickly. However, if you manage to win even just 55% of your lanes, and manage to turn at least half of those games into wins by carrying, you can expect something like a 53% winrate (27.5% by carrying, 25% being carried/contributing evenly with the rest of the team), which will make you climb. And that's if you're only slightly more skilled than your elo's average. If you can get a win with 60% of your lanes and turn half of those into hard carried games, the number skyrockets. Of course, knowing how not to int when you lose lane is also important.
@@Oznerock you are so right. I've seen Challengers with 51% winrate. They are not bad but they do what they have to do 51% of the time. But of course it's a slow climb.
There is also a very important thing to say: if you are low elo, and you use all the things you see in the video each and every game and you are consistent with it, YET you still don't climb and aren't able to carry, then the cold truth is that you are just BAD mechanically. The tips are very useful and very true, but if you're literal garbage and macro they won't be of as much use as you'd expect. The key to climbing is practicing, getting better and investing time into the game, if you really want to get good. Don't expect to play 1 game every 2 days and get diamond when you're silver. You need to put effort into it! There is no magical recipe to this, you HAVE TO put work into it.
If you implement this you will get better at macro naturally as there are few macro tips here (wave management , trading , itemization and so on.) . But that is naturally that you have to put in few dozen hours a week to get high elo .. same with any other thing in life
I am more so talking about iron-gold players, whose mechanics are not good. They tend to get 50-60 cs at 10 minutes at best and don't know how to trade efficiently by missing all spells and positioning poorly. By mechanics I don't only mean being able to auto-reset with E on Graves, by mechanics I mean positioning, landing skill shots often, CS'ing properly, etc, things that low elo people struggle with a lot. I know that because I smurfed quite a bit and I can easily see every such mistake. It's true that you can get high elo with great game knowledge, but if you can't land your spells it won't do much for you. You still have to be at least decent at playing your champion and knowing your limits and how to get the most out of it. What I mean by my comment is that there are a lot of silver players watching who think they deserve a higher elo when in reality they don't because they really really suck at everything they are doing, but their ego is too big. With my comment I just want to say that you must accept the fact that you don't know how to play the game and actually put in a lot of work to get better if you desperately want high elo. You can't just auto-pilot everygame doing the same dumb stuff over and over and over, you must look into improving your gameplay not only in game knowledge, but in all types of mechanics.
Also, the first comment I made is aimed towards people who follow the instructions by heart yet can't climb. I am obviously not saying all low elo players are bad mechanically, I am talking about those who actually are and don't know why they don't climb after learning from such videos.
Thanks for the tip. Last season was my first year of playing in League and landed on Gold5 (now gold4 because of the rank system changes). Seems like I should really invest time into the game because I only play for like 1 or 2 games everytime I play and thats not even everyday :( I play like 2 times every week :(.
I think the hardest thing for me is wave knowledge. I don’t know when I should be slow pushing, fast pushing, freezing, or backing. Any kind soul out there with some pointers?
dont know much either, but for example before backing after a kill, try to push ur wave into enemy turret so he dont get to farm as much from stacked wave that was build up ubder your turret, ofc assuming he was pushing fast, this way u can save ur own farm because it will take time for it to reach ur turret. obviously u cant really do it if u have really low hp and dont know where jungler is
If you have a big lead in top lane especially, you win all trades and can look to kill the opponent at any time. Don't push the lane into their turret. That way they will get much less cs, and if they try, it should be an easy kill. Works well with ranged champions often
@@krystiangolus2841 But only if the following waves are going to reset. When the enemy wave arrives and attackes your wave under the enemy turrent, your wave will be pushing the lane and most of the time you don't want to push the lane.
On the second point, one important thing you forgot to mention is that by harassing, at the same time you might be losing farm by doing so, you're also stopping the enemy from getting it. When you kill someone, you're also denying them gold and experience. In that scenario, 50 CS and 1 kill may be a little less gold than 70 CS, but if your opponent gets 70 CS on the farming scenario and 40 CS and a kill behind on the pressure scenario, he'll lose more than you did. And I haven't even mentioned matchups and roams. Farming is important, but often overrated.
Getting a kill tilts your opponent , 2 0 and 50 farm is in a better mindset than 100 farm but 0 2 , because his team will tilt him even more . Also level advantage is much bigger than gold advantage , if you can out level the opponent you can do a lot more against jg and bot lane since they will be far behind .
You are insane. Farm is NOT overrated. That is some silver talk right there. If you are at 50 cs at 10 minutes you need to improve that immediately no matter what. Just because you're bronze or silver opponent has 40 cs doesn't mean you should be ok with having 50. That is one of the biggest differences as you get higher elo. High elo players can do both and more. They can poke, watch mini map, play around vision, look to roam, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY get 80+ CS at 10 minutes.
You're not wrong in many points. But you also don't get what I'm trying to say. I'm not trying to say that farm is not important. I'm trying to say that there are other stuff going on in the game too, and if you give all of that up for farming, you're throwing your entire early game. By playing aggressive, even if that means missing a couple of CS, you're also denying enemy their own CS, more than you're missing, so even though you're getting less gold, your enemy is getting even more less gold. And on top of that, you have lane priority, which enables you to roam and and be in a skirmish first than your opponent. Either that or force your opponent to lose all that gold and experience when the wave collapses into a tower by going to said skirmish. It is frustating, not to say infuriating, to invade the enemy jungler, have a level advantage, an HP advantage, to sucessfully steal the enemy's camp and having everything sucessfully set up for a kill just to get collapse in a 3v1 while my allies don't move a muscle out of the lane because they're... farming. They trade a very favorable fight, a 2v2 or 3v3 when one of the enemies are almost out of the fight only to get a couple of cs and the enemy team a kill. Of course, in an ideal situation, you will be able to do it all. Get CS and be active. However, not all players can do that, and when they don't, they must have priorities, and sometimes be active should be the priority. The objective is the victory, and if you can achieve that by being active, even though that means having 50 CS by 10 minutes, that's fine.
I agree. But that's half the CS you're supposedly giving up to pressure. I'm talking about 30% at most. And by these 30%, you're denying the enemy the same ammount of gold or more while also denying him experience. Either that or getting your team ahead with a roam or an invade. Best case scenario, you're a player that can do both, CS and pressure, at once. But when that's not the case, CSing is not always the way to go. Sometimes it is, but not always. I would rather be 1/0/2, 2 levels ahead of my enemy with 2 turret plates down with the enemy jungle warded and controlled by my jungler, who himself is 2 levels ahead of the enemy, pull off a sucessful gank in a sidelane, have a plate from said lane and a dragon with 50 CS over being 0/0/0 with nothing of that, probably giving up these stuff for the enemy, and 70 CS.
Agreed, I find it quite funny how poor good league players are at describing what they are doing in order to win. Totally don't buy this point, getting early kills denies farm, gives you tower damage and generally tilts them.
@@derdummeasi Everything is toxic in large quantities. The reason most people don't climb is because they overplay and have very extreme opinions of themselves. They tilt easier and at the end of day, they feel like they achieved nothing. This sense of emptiness further ills their self-confidence.
That's right~ I absolutely agree. It's important to take breaks in between too. If you keep losing and playing while being tilted, it has a pretty bad impact on your performance.
I find that as a gold player the thing most limiting to me is mechanics. I have to focus really hard to last hit and be aware not to get caught out in aggressive matchups, avoiding skillshots, ect. I swear I don't understand how I play with some other players with mimuch better mechanics than me but still the same elo.
because of something called "limiting factor" which is basically your "lowest skill" holding you back. for you it is mechanics, for others it is game knowledge, macro game, etc. so if you have somebody against you who has good mechanical skill, it might be that this is his best skill, and that his "limiting factor" lies somewhere else.
My gosh, thank you so much for shouting out junglers and their struggles. Specifically securing the scuttle crab. Scuttle crab is so extremely important because it gives health, gold, *and* vision which can't be destroyed. It's important for both the laners and the jungler in order to counter jungle, gank a lane, or take dragon/rift/Baron, which is a benefit to all. Help the jungler and s/he'll help you
I'm guessing its people who think theyre doing all these things but failing without knowing it. "I always play around my power spikes" but forgets half the game and doesn't even realize they forgot "i always freeze lane" but takes 300 hp damage to do it and gets ganked "I always help jungle" but spends an extra 10 minutes on 4 useless treks into the jungle Basically the sentiment has gotta be "he doesn't know what its like in silver these days" ^thats gotta be most of them, but i'm sure some good players watched this and disagreed with whats important
Mans has two charges on his free ward and zero vision on river bush for the entirety of the video. The tips are good but there are better people to learn from.
I may not be an low elo player but I still make these mistakes. It happens tho, especially when I get really confident and contented that I can easily win my lane. Good job for you, mate. Thanks for the tips.
Domyno I NEVER understood why the entire team doesn’t ward more. Having vision is such a game changer. I’ve lost entire games because the enemy team was always able to catch our team off guard because of warding/clearing.
@@user-eu3hi2vo3e Because a lot of people are playing lol like a FPS all they care about are kills. In other words they are so focused on killing that they forget to ward.
@@MrTheVadimpje I don't really care about kills. I think it is better to help other teammates make them kills and focus on pushing the lanes in a defensive way.
Thanks, as a player who only has a week of experience, these really helped me understand a lot. My buddy I play with has over 40,000 hours in LOL and so I feel like he doesn't even have to think about these things so they don't come up when he's trying to teach me.
1. Attack at powerspikes. Level 2 and 6 for a lot of champions. You can add Level 3 if you play Sylas. Item powerspikes are also a thing. TOP/MID: You hit lvl 2 after 1 wave + 1 melee minion. BOT: - | - + 3 melee minions. 2. ALWAYS aim for 70-80 cs at 10 min in. If you do not reach that quota; harrass less and focus more on minions. 3. Play around low HP minions, the enemy finishing them off gives you a chance to harrass. 4. Track ability and summoner spell usage. Trade after they have used high value spell and missed. Play it safe if you've burnt flash. If the enemy burned flash; ping it and track 5 minutes. 5. ALWAYS ward the pixel bush around 1:20 if someone else doesnt. 6. DONT STAY IN LANE FOR TOO LONG! If you kill the enemy recall; this with the exception of you being able to push the minions up a little and/or you need to do as to reach a power spike. 7. Recall and reset whenever the cannon minion is on it's way. Prepare for it by pushing the minions closer to the enemy turrets. 8. Freeze waves by either taking damage or by using the bushes to hold aggro while minimizing damage. 9. Remember to adapt your playstyle and itemization depending on your opposition. 10. If you play mid; remember to change your positioning in relation to the position of your wards and jungler. 11. If you are losing your lane and am at a big disadvantage; shut your fucking mouth and start playing safe. You shall not allow yourself to die. Let yourself get carried. 12. Remember the fucking control wards, and to ward in general. 13. Play around bushes to drop minion aggro and as to hide abilities. 14. This one plays into (8.). Wrote this as an option to freeze minion waves. 15. Remember to take minion wave sizes into consideration before trading. If their minion wave huge; dont fucking engage unless they are at low health and your victory is assured. 16. MAP AWARENESS! 17. This connects to (16.). If you see that your jungler need help with something like fighting over 'the Scuttler' or blue buff, help. 18. Do not go for turret plating unless it will grant you a powerspike in form of an item or something else. 19. Don't waste summoner spells when you know you will die no matter what. 20. Be quicker with using your summoner spells, tactically. REMEMBER TO ACTUALLY USE THEM. 21. If you are 2 kills ahead of your opponent; there is no need to farm them, go and roam as to help other lanes instead.
One mistake that I usually make is not calculating my all-in damage in best case scenario when playing mid, which sometimes leads to the enemy flashing away at very low health, so I recently started calculating it on papers for specific levels (2,3,6 etc) and it's helped me a lot.
I have been playing since season 2 extremely casually. I’ll never get out of Gold but appreciate the entertainment factor of imagining I’m not a scrub.
how to climb: grab a pillow and put in your lap every rank it makes your winrate 1% higher it worked for me tho . ;) edit: thanks for 14 likes best milestone in yt edit2: thanks for 53 likes edit3: holy crap 75 likes the best i got :)
its not really about that, its more like having 2 abilities(level 2) and extra stats on top of that(even on ignite) is always stronger than 1 ability(level 1) without exceptions, what you are talking about is more champion specific powerspike
@@mhamster7034 he's not disagreeing with the lvl 2 Powerspike. he's saying that on some champions it's smarter to wait for lvl 3 instead. (If I got that correctly)
@@buds4ever58 yeah im also not disagreeing with that, because obviously a lane bully is strong with full kit, but the point here being that having two abilities(in rivens case 4 at level 2 if you count each q cast as an ability, so technically her level 1 is already stronger than most) against 1 ability is 99% of the time is an advantage, which u should use in general
@@buds4ever58 Yeah, you got that correctly, although im pretty sure that Riven's and Zed's powerspikes on lvl 3 are better than their lvl 2. Riven is a champion that, maybe i can say it that way, has to utilize all of her kit to be the really good of a champion she is. She needs the dmg and dashing from Q, the small stun from W, and the shielding and dashing from her E. Her kit before 6 is like a 33,3%-33,3%-33,3%. With 2 skills she has 66,6%, with 3, and the powerspike, she has 100% (well, 99,9%). With zed, it's pretty similar, the only difference is the fact that you NEED all 3 skills to proc electrocute from range to trade more effectively. (And here comes the fact that zed is a weak champion and it's harder from him to win trades, even if he wins them the enemy has less cooldowns on their main trading abilities). So yeah. Im not disagreeing with the lvl 2 powerspike, im just saying that some champions have a better powerspike on lvl 3 than on lvl 2, and i thought this could be mentioned in the video. Also, some champions have better or worse powerspikes on lvl 6. Riven on lvl 6, if she's just a little good, she will almost be guaranteed a kill on the lane, or maybe even a double/triple if roaming botlane with teleport. With zed, there's a big problem with that champion, since his lvl 6 is WAY too big of a powerspike. Riot blindly without a reason kept buffing his R, which was and isn't in any way needed, since if zed R's someone on the same lvl, items etc., He will almost always be guaranteed a kill. The problem with zed in comparison with riven, is that zed's ult is too strong, and his abilities are too weak, and that doesn't balance it out. While with riven, all of her kit is, maybe even GREAT, all of her abilities are strong if used properly. And as i said before, it's not the same with zed. Zed ults, overkill. Without ulting, can't kill. Riven ulting, kill, without ulting, kill. Wow i have no idea how did a powerspike statement of mine transfer into a "why zed is weak" statement xD.
17:10 if you were in low elo and tried to take Nocturne’s blue without saying anything in chat, he’d smite to secure it (even if dragon is coming up soon), and tell you that it’s his blue, not yours. And that he’s never going to give you blue or gank your lane. This is especially noticeable in Udyr mains (not all, but most).
Re: point 2, getting CS in laning phase. I'm currently moving through gold and one thing higher elo players (you) may not realize about this elo is that generally by 10 minutes the winning laners will have from 5 to 10 kills, and 50-80 cs. I have tried the strategy of focusing on CS and when I do so I tend to get around 85cs by 10 minutes but that doesn't come close to competing with the players who focused on getting kills in lane. Unfortunately I think your advice isn't as relevant as you would think for low elo.
Never played this game, but I am starting to become interested in it. There are SOOOOOO many champion choices, it seems overwhelming. Who is the champion that is being used to demo in the video starting at tip #3 2:43?
0:30 I would say they don't know, not that they don't respect. Why do I say this, because I'm more or less a newbie and I don't know the power spikes and who is strongest, when, and with what items are the strongest or stronger power spike? Videos don't cover that kind of thing. What video, blog, website, etc can I go to to get that kind of information? Because to me, only very experienced players know what you're talking about.
I do agree with you that people may not know of certain powerspikes but generally if you know what abilites the enemy has and what the abilities do you should be able to have a basic understanding of when the champion is strong. For example if you know that leona has 2 CC abilites at level 2 then you should be able to recognize that she has the potential to jump on you and look for a kill. If you know a champion like Janna only has a shield and a slow at level 2 then you are alot safer and know that she doesnt have a great powerspike where she can kill you. This is something that cant really be taught and just takes alot of games in order to acqurie the knowledge. There are so many different champion combinations and different powerspikes for every single combo or champ in the game which makes it hard to make a dedicated video on that.
@@RvzStealth There are what, 141 champions in the game? People think a game like WoW is hard because of how much is going on in a raid. I use to play Wow, for 14 years I played that game, just up till November when I finally had it with the carrot on a stick game they've been giving us. So I started to play LoL, and ya some champions are really easy and just boring to me, but when you start to realize the size and scope of how many champions there are, and all the combinations possible you realize just how hard this game is. Wow doesn't have anything like a Lee Sin, Azir, or even a Shaco or Nidalee. Also, Wow has like 1k different apps you can use to give you the information you don't want to have to remember. Then you add in League's build paths for gearing, runes, levels, and your head starts to explode. So from a 14-year Wow veteran, LoL is one of the hardest game I've played. I have a long time friend that loves ARAM, and he tries to get me to play it, but I hate it because only people who have been playing LoL for a few years IMO should really be playing ARAM, there is just too much to learn for a noobie to even think about ARAM. But there are something you can bring from Wow that it seems a lot of low Elo players just don't do and I notice it because of my time in Wow. My buddy uses the preset Rune pages for ARAM, seems a lot of low Elo ppl don't Min / Max or even try. I spend 4 or 5 hours in practice mode before I even step into a Bot game, which probably sounds dumb because it's a bot game, but I don't want to waste peoples time. IMO practice tool is there to help you learn, and you should use it exhaustively. I would say that should be #22 on the list, use the practice tool. LoL
@@Valkaneer using the practice tool isn't the best way to learn a champion IMO, I think it's better to learn their kit in one or two bot games and then jump in normals to get good at it, and to get more game knowledge. And regarding the 140 something champs, yes, they are a lot, but it's just muscle memory, and you don't need to know all the details, for example I know lee sin has an ability that if it hits, he can dash to the target, I dunno the name, cd or values but I know what it does kinda
You should play more to get more experience. Thats how you know what champs are capable of something and what their potential. Or you can just play what champs irritated you the most to understand the capabilities, weakness, and the powerspike of the champ
I really recommend downloading “blitz” for league it’s an app that automatically sets up your runes/build based on what has the highest win rate in high elo games it even gets champion specific builds. also has tips for whoever you’re in lane against and tells you their power spike items/levels and what strategies to look out for in lane
Thank you for a good informative video! I havent got time to read all comments so maybe the allready asked you. But the spots for warding if you play the red side? Thank you once again / Jasmine
Im supp Main and... for me Its rly Hard to get out of Platin even if i respect all those tips. Does it need more to be diamond? Couldn't you maybe do a Video how to play in platinum pls? :) i love your Videos you have my Abo and like
you dont need any of these advice at all, focusing too much on it will actually get you distracted from the stuff that matters which is winning the game and playing around your winning conditions which as support is all around keeping your team alive as much as you can and rotate
So the idea at 5:14 is when you get a kill push the wave under tower and base. This does 2 things. So first if the laner comes back they will lose some minions that means gold and xp and 2nd it resets the waves to either make them push to you or to neutral. When you do this you want to get it under tower so the jungle or laner can't freeze the wave so don't hesitate to ask your jung to help you push. They will be glad for some cs and you back because when he enemy laner gets back they will have had a chance to buy so its an artificial disadvantage you don't want to opt into.
2:36 That is completely wrong,players in low elo tend to always farm instead of trying to deny the enemy farm or just harassing,they do not undervalue farm,they somewhat overvalue it.Low cs numbers at low elo come from unabillity to cs properly with autos or bad wave placements.
@@t1luso794 Bronze players do that,silvers and gold players dont.I rarely see solo kills in those elos,only kills that happen in lanes are due to ganks.
Still super relevant more than a year later. I realize that even though I play Garen, I've forgotten to harass enemies who are last hitting. And tip 11 (not inting), you don't want to know how often I soft int because I stubbornly fight the enemy laner again. Tysm I hope this video keeps getting views
It highly depends on what happens, it's different game to game, but the reason it makes sense is because the higher elo you are the better your opponents are, so they know how to trade and punish you, this means it's harder to get perfect cs unlike in low elo, where up to gold you can easily hit 80 cs at 10 mins.
He might be behind on his ten min mark of like 80 or 70 maybe because of match up or early fight or something but then he and a lot of high Elo players will “haul ass” on their cs
because first waves start crashing at 1:50 in top and bot lanes and you don't have 15 cs at that moment . Every 30 seconds a wave spawns , 1 min = 12 cs (1cannon per 3 waves ) , so you will need about 10 min to make your cs even with time , if you farm alone and don't back .
depends on the matchup, and also that youre low on cs in the first 2 minutes of the game, you dont start evening out until later, also Aatrox is only 5 ahead and because he just backed. Seems like low elo seeking to hypocritise a pro player
It can do multiple things. First lets say you are Nasus and you are weaker than your opponent, then it can help you stack wave safer, because you are close to your tower(which means you should be relatively safe). Second if you are the stronger in the lane, then it can help you get cs and deny your opponent easier, because he/she has to be further up in lane, thus be easier to get ganked by your jungle. But it really depends on the situation. Hope this helped
yeah all well and good im hardstuck silver on my second account lol wanted to de rank to iron and then do a how fast can i progress self challenge (im a high diamond player) ELO hell is true lol , for eg recent game playing riven super fed, i 1v3 split bot lane , win the 1v3 but my team die 4v2 under nexus turret and loose before i can get inhibs and win.... all they had to do was just not die , silver players hurt my brain
I'm not talking about him being diamond or any other rank. I merely stated the fact, that elo hell is nonexistent, and that you will climb if you deserve to climb.
Wow, what a great video! Real useful stuff :P Only thing I disagree with is the "watch minimap every 5 to 10 seconds" one. Thats way, way, waay too rarely
@@pancakesandhoney Yea it's honestly such a hard skill to learn, you gotta practice it for a long time for it to become a habit. :P But honestly one of, if not the easiest way to become so much better at the game.
Some of these mistakes are a lack of doing a good action, while others are doing a bad action. I have to admit that I've never really done 14 and I should try it out. Not sure how often I'll be able to do it though, will have to see. There are some very bad mistakes here that tilt me so much. I'm pleased that not a single one of these observed mistakes are nonsense. A very logical and reasonable video.
If you're playing Irelia or, say, Riven/Camille, into Teemo/Jayce/Quinn/Viktor/poke, how do you figure out which defensive item gives you the most bang for your buck? On Italia, is it really that efficient vs Teemo to rush a spectre cowl befor3 triforce? Also, with Irelia Q sustain, is it more gold efficient to complete spirit visage instead of direct DOT counter of Adaptive Helm? Also, in such a poke heavy matchup where you are easily shoved, is triforce first more worth on Irelia instead of phage/sheen? Lastly, is cowl worth versus jayce since he is mixed damage early or is tabi more efficient versus all AA based poke laners (Teemo excluded since mercury treads reduce his blind)?
Started subconsciously picking up on these methods when I stopped greifing and started focusing more. Great to see I'm right on some things. Thank you/
Tbh if you arent good at laning a quick and easy tip is to watch a wave management guide and practice poke based champions with global ults and strong push ability(xerath ziggs tf etc). Dont bother trying to actually kill them without jg, save flash to run away, dont push wave, and just keep them so low that they miss a bunch of cs, are constantly low health, and have to back constantly. Take tp so you can extend the lead even more and maybe even gank. Push when they back of If they try to make up for their behindness in levels and cs by roaming. People always think “oh youre 0-1 in lane? You lost lane “ and im like “fool ive got 40 cs on them, 2 assists, and a tower at 12 minutes”. Winning lane isnt just kills, its also cs getting your team priority for objectives. In fact, cs and objective priority is always more valuable than kills unless you are significantly feeding, like 0/3 or worse.
I understood that, as bot lane, after a kill, you shove the wave so that it resets and the enemy adc loses farm. You however, say to base ASAP on the first cannon wave. So which is it?
rtist that doesn’t mean they don’t know macro, they just cannot execute it in game. They are two completely different things. Mental blocks or lack of commitment to macro when playing is a big problem with low elo.
Something you may have forgotten. Unique to supports are the fights over wards. I don't know if it's because they're bored supporting, but I've seen a lot of supports fight for and die over a ward in tri bush.
@@TreK123 I didnt, teammate super noob cant even last hit a mob🤦 then he blame it on me. Its like I hit it last time then go back to lane but the mf smite it before my hit even land then kaboom it went mine😂😂 Then there goes your story. He is calculating the speed of my basic attack to wait for it to land then smite it but then failed something like that😂😂
Was able to learn quite a bit from this. Happy to find out i already do some of these but probably not as efficiently as i could be doing it like freezing the wave
@@mickluvin619 i had that problem too haha. you can just turn down the mouse speed or the camera move speed. and i reccomend you turning on the smooth camera. (doesnt make you sick wihile moving the cam) if you have a mouse with extra buttons you can make a "shortcut" (i guess its called like that?) on your third or fourth mousbutton to move the camera, so you dont have to move the screen while dragging the mouse to the edge of the screen. also helpful: as long as you press "space" the camera is locked. i also do that in sticky situations. but the best tipp i guess is: just do it. over and over again, so your brain dont tell you "oh i play with unlocked cam, thats gonna be horrible".
Mick Colombo Like the other commenter said you can adjust the speed which helped me bc I get motion sickness really easily. I also thought it was impossible at first but I just took it off one day and practiced like hell. It helps your vision tremendously.
Thanks for this video, this really helped me honestly speaking. I had some of my prioritzations twisted around my ankle, I think. Will be keeping this video in my favourites for quick references.
@@staraspect1118 first of all, litterally no good player plays with lock cam, look at the screen, how much useless information he gets by having his champ in the center of the screen, instead of looking at the scenery above toplane you should be looking at the lane, your opponent and river. and not only do you miss crucial information but some abilites like caitlyn r, kaisa r/w, kled r can't be casted without turning off lock cam, moving the camera and then pressing the button, which takes too much time if you play at high mmr. and you also miss more skillshots, and you are more inaccurate with your mouse clicks as your mouse moves with the camera that moves with your champion at all times, instead of being at the same spot on the map regardless of how you move your champion. (watch a faker stream, how much he clicks back and fourth to make his champion wiggle in place, now imagine if he had lock cam, how fucking dizzy he would get and how inaccurate his clicks would become)
gardakan936 man, the argument I'm making applies to those who play with lock cam on. Not people occasionally pressing space to center it in a fight or whatever. Yes that is a form of "locking the camera" but it's copletely irrelevant to the point I made. So idk why you even bothered commenting in the first place
2:30 I get your point but I don't totally agree on it. If you kill an enemy but you miss gold from wave you still get the XP. The one that died doesn't.
I knew almost all of these, most of them I got through thinking about the game myself. I do them as best as I can already. But some of them are really helpful for me. For example never paid attention to cannon waves differently than normal waves. It's a very useful advice that I will use from now on. And I know I don't use bushes enough, too. Thank you for the video.
Number 11 can't be emphasized enough. I've spent enough time in low ELO to know that 9 out of 10 low ELO players, after having lost lane, continue to try to fight the enemy laner who is 2 levels and 50 CS ahead. As a jungler main, it's the most infuriating thing ever because after they've gone 0-5 they start spam pinging you, demanding that you come deal with the 5-0 Darius they fed breakfast, lunch and dinner to.
That is also a pitfall where many inexperienced junglers fall, trying to go and help that lane at that point
lol, i know the feeling
As a jungle main, I felt this is my soul. This shit happens in high elo too.
That's the main reason why I don't want to play jungle at all. You're always the "idiot" and then people tilt even more if you don't "help" them, which would just end in a double or triple kill for the enemy, anyways. That would probably destroy all the fun I (sometimes) have with league D:
its embarassing, but I may be one of those adcs... :( on behalf of those adcs and my own, I am sorry.
1. play around level 2 spike, level 6 spike,
item spikes or any powerspikes in general
top/mid lvl 2 after 1 wave and 1 melee
bot lvl 2 after 1 wave and 2 melees
2. focus more on farming if farm isnt around 75cs
3. play around low hp minions
4. play around CD or SS: Trade when spell misses,
play safe when burned flash, eny flashed? => ping + 5min
5. ward pixel bush at 1:20
6. Base after kill
7. Time basing when the cannon wave is arriving. Hard shove the wave before
8. Freeze waves when it's safe
9. Change playstyle based on matchup or teamcomp.
against heavy early, try to stay even in farm
full ad camp, buy early cloth armor
10. Change position in lane based on wards and jungler location
11. Stop fighting and try to stay alive and farm when behind.
12. Buy pink wards if you have some gold left everytime.
13. Play around bushes to drop minion agro or hide abilities
14. Use bushes to set up a freeze
15. Play around minion wave size.
16. Watch minion map often, when not trading, basing...
17. Rotate to help. If your jungler is fighting for crab go help.
18. Don't greed for turret plating or tower damage early on. THINK! Is it worth it?
19. U dead? dont use SS
20. Use SS quick before you might get chained cc.
21. Shove and roam if you are in front. low risk high reward.
Is there a rule for number 7, like every second/third wave is cannon wave? So I can plan my back better.

The biggest enemy in league ranked is the lose spree queue ...
Or there's also that moment where you try to focus on farming but you're going up against that douchebag smurf who can harrass and farm at the same time.
This. Try to take 1 minion, lose 3/4ths of your health. Repeat.
O8SOL3TE if you can’t do both at the same time you’ll never jump in elo try and think like they do if they see you running up for a low health minion try and harass them before you then take if you can idk it’s simple after a while
this is the problem people hate smurfs. Rather then learning from them you get tillted by them. I was once a broce 1 player I spammed normal games didnt play a lot of ranked. Then sudenlly I saw these high elo players or smurfs you call them in my games. I mean I was laning against a master tier yasuo with my yasuo and we fought he would outplay me and my jungler sometimes I would do that to them. People need to test themselfes. I used to force myself not using flash defencivelly always looking to outplay opponents ofc I died a lot I fed alot but then I could do it and I would turn to pick a kill.I managed to learn from them then after some time I played ranked and I saw how better I became in reading the game matchups lane positioning and other things. Now I have around 10 acc ranging from high Diamond to low silver mostlly having fun in low elo games. But you see I also teach people that lane against me to try and play better if they show some knowledge in the game we just had. Beacuse I was once that scrub lord that thinks its his team that hold him down and so on. But I guess people would rather take eazy way out. Also turn off the autoatack for the love of the game. Actually worst thing you can have active by far
@@rtwiceorb770 yeah you can learn from players better than you but getting completely stomped by a smurf teaches essentially nothing these players can take out noobs even if they just farm under turret
@@lukef1131 I used to be crap in game as well untill I spamed normals and got into high diamond/master tier games whille being bronce. Now I used to play my main champion obviouslly and I got to see how they play and why they play like they do. I got knowledge beacuse I was interested in learning not winning. The entire point of ranked is not to spam grind it beacuse you dont learn you should focus on learning and test your limitations always. So when I met a master tier yasuo main the same champion as me we had a goo. Sometimes Enemy ganks I outplay and end up with a kill and alive some times he outplays me and my jungler and sometimes I just die so I started to focus on susing flash agresivelly and never defencivelly. This pushed me to think about can I escape a gank without using a flash. After the game ended a said yasuo player looked my acc said no way you are bronce your skill lvl is atleast diamond. This was for me recognition of me actually improving in my midlane knowledge. So I did a second acc repeated a proces but with jungle and now I can track enemy jungle based of jungle camps and his clear based on cs and his first gank. So yea now I am Diamond 1 player last season highest was a master tier promos that I failed and I have acc all the way to silver 4on which I have fun and get them to gold as season ends to get a skin.
every bot: farm??? nono lets fight even tho we are 0/3/0
Or the ADC that constantly trade even tho he is missing the half minion wave.
@@jangasser5366 Or the supp that all ins even though his adc has 2 abilities on cooldown and no flash.
Yeah, sometimes it's very hard to just try and farm against certain champs like Draven with an engage support like Pyke. Naturally they'll have lane priority do you play passively behind minions but the Draven can push you off farm allowing the Pyke to come and hook you towards them. Of course you're gonna say "just dodge his hooks" well yeah not wrong but you can't dodge everything and when they do hit that hook that Draven is already 237774/0 destroying your nexus when you still have all your outer turrets up

Lmao

blame your team
The tip at 9:20 is, in my opinion, one of the most important tips in the game. A LOT of people I've played with get upset when they're not the one carrying the game to victory, and they either intentionally feed or make incredibly risky decisions with low chances of success, which can feed that cycle of them dying over and over again. It is fundamentally an inability to see success as anything but what's on the scoreboard, and while the scoreboard is usually a good indicator of what team won the game, it's not the actual "Victory" or "Defeat" screen. The most important part of this tip is understanding where your team's strengths are when you get to the midgame and playing around that. If you're playing top and you're 0/4, but your ADC is 5/0, even if you're playing a carry champion, you should change your focus to enhancing that ADC's ability to carry. The logical conclusion is to hold your CC abilities for when people jump on your ADC so that you can save them. But most players in low ELO don't think dynamically across the timespan of the game like this.
Fastest way to climbing isn't learning how to carry.
It's how to GET carried.
You have a certain % to carry yourself, but an 80% chance (4 teammates) to get carried.
Bet on the 80%.
@@Nazuiko not really. You have 4 teamates with a 50% per cent chance to outperform the enemy each. If you have a 50% chance to outperform too, or just focus too much on not dragging down the game, each game essentially becomes a coinflip. If you win 50% of your games, you don't really climb, at least not quickly.
However, if you manage to win even just 55% of your lanes, and manage to turn at least half of those games into wins by carrying, you can expect something like a 53% winrate (27.5% by carrying, 25% being carried/contributing evenly with the rest of the team), which will make you climb.
And that's if you're only slightly more skilled than your elo's average.
If you can get a win with 60% of your lanes and turn half of those into hard carried games, the number skyrockets.
Of course, knowing how not to int when you lose lane is also important.
@@Oznerock you are so right. I've seen Challengers with 51% winrate. They are not bad but they do what they have to do 51% of the time. But of course it's a slow climb.
There is also a very important thing to say: if you are low elo, and you use all the things you see in the video each and every game and you are consistent with it, YET you still don't climb and aren't able to carry, then the cold truth is that you are just BAD mechanically. The tips are very useful and very true, but if you're literal garbage and macro they won't be of as much use as you'd expect. The key to climbing is practicing, getting better and investing time into the game, if you really want to get good. Don't expect to play 1 game every 2 days and get diamond when you're silver. You need to put effort into it! There is no magical recipe to this, you HAVE TO put work into it.
If you implement this you will get better at macro naturally as there are few macro tips here (wave management , trading , itemization and so on.) . But that is naturally that you have to put in few dozen hours a week to get high elo .. same with any other thing in life
7UST Mechanical skill is already something that is a high point in Gold, mechanics isn't as hard to learn than game knowledge.
I am more so talking about iron-gold players, whose mechanics are not good. They tend to get 50-60 cs at 10 minutes at best and don't know how to trade efficiently by missing all spells and positioning poorly. By mechanics I don't only mean being able to auto-reset with E on Graves, by mechanics I mean positioning, landing skill shots often, CS'ing properly, etc, things that low elo people struggle with a lot. I know that because I smurfed quite a bit and I can easily see every such mistake. It's true that you can get high elo with great game knowledge, but if you can't land your spells it won't do much for you. You still have to be at least decent at playing your champion and knowing your limits and how to get the most out of it. What I mean by my comment is that there are a lot of silver players watching who think they deserve a higher elo when in reality they don't because they really really suck at everything they are doing, but their ego is too big. With my comment I just want to say that you must accept the fact that you don't know how to play the game and actually put in a lot of work to get better if you desperately want high elo. You can't just auto-pilot everygame doing the same dumb stuff over and over and over, you must look into improving your gameplay not only in game knowledge, but in all types of mechanics.
Also, the first comment I made is aimed towards people who follow the instructions by heart yet can't climb. I am obviously not saying all low elo players are bad mechanically, I am talking about those who actually are and don't know why they don't climb after learning from such videos.
Thanks for the tip. Last season was my first year of playing in League and landed on Gold5 (now gold4 because of the rank system changes). Seems like I should really invest time into the game because I only play for like 1 or 2 games everytime I play and thats not even everyday :( I play like 2 times every week :(.
I think the hardest thing for me is wave knowledge. I don’t know when I should be slow pushing, fast pushing, freezing, or backing. Any kind soul out there with some pointers?
dont know much either, but for example before backing after a kill, try to push ur wave into enemy turret so he dont get to farm as much from stacked wave that was build up ubder your turret, ofc assuming he was pushing fast, this way u can save ur own farm because it will take time for it to reach ur turret. obviously u cant really do it if u have really low hp and dont know where jungler is
Search for it on YT.
If you have a big lead in top lane especially, you win all trades and can look to kill the opponent at any time. Don't push the lane into their turret. That way they will get much less cs, and if they try, it should be an easy kill. Works well with ranged champions often
Just farm it away and get strong : - )
@@krystiangolus2841 But only if the following waves are going to reset. When the enemy wave arrives and attackes your wave under the enemy turrent, your wave will be pushing the lane and most of the time you don't want to push the lane.
On the second point, one important thing you forgot to mention is that by harassing, at the same time you might be losing farm by doing so, you're also stopping the enemy from getting it. When you kill someone, you're also denying them gold and experience.
In that scenario, 50 CS and 1 kill may be a little less gold than 70 CS, but if your opponent gets 70 CS on the farming scenario and 40 CS and a kill behind on the pressure scenario, he'll lose more than you did. And I haven't even mentioned matchups and roams. Farming is important, but often overrated.
Getting a kill tilts your opponent , 2 0 and 50 farm is in a better mindset than 100 farm but 0 2 , because his team will tilt him even more . Also level advantage is much bigger than gold advantage , if you can out level the opponent you can do a lot more against jg and bot lane since they will be far behind .
You are insane. Farm is NOT overrated. That is some silver talk right there. If you are at 50 cs at 10 minutes you need to improve that immediately no matter what. Just because you're bronze or silver opponent has 40 cs doesn't mean you should be ok with having 50. That is one of the biggest differences as you get higher elo. High elo players can do both and more. They can poke, watch mini map, play around vision, look to roam, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY get 80+ CS at 10 minutes.
You're not wrong in many points. But you also don't get what I'm trying to say. I'm not trying to say that farm is not important. I'm trying to say that there are other stuff going on in the game too, and if you give all of that up for farming, you're throwing your entire early game.
By playing aggressive, even if that means missing a couple of CS, you're also denying enemy their own CS, more than you're missing, so even though you're getting less gold, your enemy is getting even more less gold. And on top of that, you have lane priority, which enables you to roam and and be in a skirmish first than your opponent. Either that or force your opponent to lose all that gold and experience when the wave collapses into a tower by going to said skirmish.
It is frustating, not to say infuriating, to invade the enemy jungler, have a level advantage, an HP advantage, to sucessfully steal the enemy's camp and having everything sucessfully set up for a kill just to get collapse in a 3v1 while my allies don't move a muscle out of the lane because they're... farming. They trade a very favorable fight, a 2v2 or 3v3 when one of the enemies are almost out of the fight only to get a couple of cs and the enemy team a kill.
Of course, in an ideal situation, you will be able to do it all. Get CS and be active. However, not all players can do that, and when they don't, they must have priorities, and sometimes be active should be the priority. The objective is the victory, and if you can achieve that by being active, even though that means having 50 CS by 10 minutes, that's fine.
I agree. But that's half the CS you're supposedly giving up to pressure. I'm talking about 30% at most. And by these 30%, you're denying the enemy the same ammount of gold or more while also denying him experience. Either that or getting your team ahead with a roam or an invade.
Best case scenario, you're a player that can do both, CS and pressure, at once. But when that's not the case, CSing is not always the way to go. Sometimes it is, but not always.
I would rather be 1/0/2, 2 levels ahead of my enemy with 2 turret plates down with the enemy jungle warded and controlled by my jungler, who himself is 2 levels ahead of the enemy, pull off a sucessful gank in a sidelane, have a plate from said lane and a dragon with 50 CS over being 0/0/0 with nothing of that, probably giving up these stuff for the enemy, and 70 CS.
Agreed, I find it quite funny how poor good league players are at describing what they are doing in order to win. Totally don't buy this point, getting early kills denies farm, gives you tower damage and generally tilts them.
By low elo that means almost all of NA
tbh it means almost all of every region. Diamond+ is the top 2% so.... almost everyone is low elo by a fact.

@@derdummeasi Everything is toxic in large quantities. The reason most people don't climb is because they overplay and have very extreme opinions of themselves. They tilt easier and at the end of day, they feel like they achieved nothing. This sense of emptiness further ills their self-confidence.

@@regiesrules I'm glad you agree
That's right~ I absolutely agree. It's important to take breaks in between too. If you keep losing and playing while being tilted, it has a pretty bad impact on your performance.

not bad
That is a an improvement i went to bronze 1
Idk if you're being sarcastic buy that's actually good improvement right there
Keep it up my dude
I find that as a gold player the thing most limiting to me is mechanics. I have to focus really hard to last hit and be aware not to get caught out in aggressive matchups, avoiding skillshots, ect. I swear I don't understand how I play with some other players with mimuch better mechanics than me but still the same elo.
because of something called "limiting factor" which is basically your "lowest skill" holding you back. for you it is mechanics, for others it is game knowledge, macro game, etc.
so if you have somebody against you who has good mechanical skill, it might be that this is his best skill, and that his "limiting factor" lies somewhere else.
My gosh, thank you so much for shouting out junglers and their struggles. Specifically securing the scuttle crab. Scuttle crab is so extremely important because it gives health, gold, *and* vision which can't be destroyed. It's important for both the laners and the jungler in order to counter jungle, gank a lane, or take dragon/rift/Baron, which is a benefit to all. Help the jungler and s/he'll help you

These are really well thought out and explained. Thank you for the quality of your content
so did the people who disliked this video continue feeding after watching?
I'm guessing its people who think theyre doing all these things but failing without knowing it.
"I always play around my power spikes" but forgets half the game and doesn't even realize they forgot
"i always freeze lane" but takes 300 hp damage to do it and gets ganked
"I always help jungle" but spends an extra 10 minutes on 4 useless treks into the jungle
Basically the sentiment has gotta be "he doesn't know what its like in silver these days"
^thats gotta be most of them, but i'm sure some good players watched this and disagreed with whats important
Locked screen instantly disliked
Chan Kwon it’s prolly cause the macro tips regarding wave management were bs. Or Atleast not correct.
Yes I did
Mans has two charges on his free ward and zero vision on river bush for the entirety of the video. The tips are good but there are better people to learn from.
I may not be an low elo player but I still make these mistakes. It happens tho, especially when I get really confident and contented that I can easily win my lane. Good job for you, mate. Thanks for the tips.
I‘m in platin I and I still have teammates who have a ward score of about 5?! Like why? Is it so hard to place them every few minutes? ._.
Domyno I NEVER understood why the entire team doesn’t ward more. Having vision is such a game changer.
I’ve lost entire games because the enemy team was always able to catch our team off guard because of warding/clearing.
@@user-eu3hi2vo3e Because a lot of people are playing lol like a FPS all they care about are kills. In other words they are so focused on killing that they forget to ward.
@@MrTheVadimpje I don't really care about kills. I think it is better to help other teammates make them kills and focus on pushing the lanes in a defensive way.
An other point that LS talked is about "comfort vision" that means placing a ward when you don't really need it just to stay comfortable.
Personally, I just don't have enough map awareness to notice that my wards are gone, or to realize that much time has passed since I last warded.
Diamond+ is the top 2% of players so pretty much the entire playerbase is low elo (or mid elo)
Thanks, as a player who only has a week of experience, these really helped me understand a lot. My buddy I play with has over 40,000 hours in LOL and so I feel like he doesn't even have to think about these things so they don't come up when he's trying to teach me.
ive been bronze since season 3 and i just finally got to silver holy shit boys we made it only took 6 years
lol i started lol 4months ago got placed in bronze 4 and im now in silver 4 Level 40
H-hi
@SlapTick hows leauge going
@SlapTick ):
I just started few days ago
@SlapTick you shouldnt start ranked games so soon, there's too much to learn, gotta realize this game has been there for almost 10years
my whole life i thought it was 100 cs per 10 minute but it was actually 70-80 cs lol.
Challenger requires 100 and sometimes 110 for adc
16:18 against Sylas you even have to check your teammate abilities/ultimates XD
1. Attack at powerspikes. Level 2 and 6 for a lot of champions. You can add Level 3 if you play Sylas. Item powerspikes are also a thing. TOP/MID: You hit lvl 2 after 1 wave + 1 melee minion. BOT: - | - + 3 melee minions.
2. ALWAYS aim for 70-80 cs at 10 min in. If you do not reach that quota; harrass less and focus more on minions.
3. Play around low HP minions, the enemy finishing them off gives you a chance to harrass.
4. Track ability and summoner spell usage. Trade after they have used high value spell and missed. Play it safe if you've burnt flash. If the enemy burned flash; ping it and track 5 minutes.
5. ALWAYS ward the pixel bush around 1:20 if someone else doesnt.
6. DONT STAY IN LANE FOR TOO LONG! If you kill the enemy recall; this with the exception of you being able to push the minions up a little and/or you need to do as to reach a power spike.
7. Recall and reset whenever the cannon minion is on it's way. Prepare for it by pushing the minions closer to the enemy turrets.
8. Freeze waves by either taking damage or by using the bushes to hold aggro while minimizing damage.
9. Remember to adapt your playstyle and itemization depending on your opposition.
10. If you play mid; remember to change your positioning in relation to the position of your wards and jungler.
11. If you are losing your lane and am at a big disadvantage; shut your fucking mouth and start playing safe. You shall not allow yourself to die. Let yourself get carried.
12. Remember the fucking control wards, and to ward in general.
13. Play around bushes to drop minion aggro and as to hide abilities.
14. This one plays into (8.). Wrote this as an option to freeze minion waves.
15. Remember to take minion wave sizes into consideration before trading. If their minion wave huge; dont fucking engage unless they are at low health and your victory is assured.
16. MAP AWARENESS!
17. This connects to (16.). If you see that your jungler need help with something like fighting over 'the Scuttler' or blue buff, help.
18. Do not go for turret plating unless it will grant you a powerspike in form of an item or something else.
19. Don't waste summoner spells when you know you will die no matter what.
20. Be quicker with using your summoner spells, tactically. REMEMBER TO ACTUALLY USE THEM.
21. If you are 2 kills ahead of your opponent; there is no need to farm them, go and roam as to help other lanes instead.
Here in ph server, one small mistake will reward you with trash talking elementary school kids playing in "pisonet shops".
So damn true
Lmao they dont even know laning phase especially the jungler who comes to take your minions for no absolute reason
@@raidengaming2427 took me 4 years to get out of "elo hell" in Ph server truly an amazing experience
Hhahaha
@@Myung69 god damn nice. i would probably hit diamond when i am 70 years old lmao
One mistake that I usually make is not calculating my all-in damage in best case scenario when playing mid, which sometimes leads to the enemy flashing away at very low health, so I recently started calculating it on papers for specific levels (2,3,6 etc) and it's helped me a lot.
Amazing tips. After watching this video i am happy to say that i finally hit lvl 20.
I have been playing since season 2 extremely casually. I’ll never get out of Gold but appreciate the entertainment factor of imagining I’m not a scrub.
Eh man, good luck this season.

This was massively helpful!! I literally make all of these mistakes/don't do what I should have been doing
There are some champions that have a stronger lvl 3 powerspike than a lvl 2 powerspike, for example Zed, Riven.
its not really about that, its more like having 2 abilities(level 2) and extra stats on top of that(even on ignite) is always stronger than 1 ability(level 1) without exceptions, what you are talking about is more champion specific powerspike
@@mhamster7034 he's not disagreeing with the lvl 2 Powerspike. he's saying that on some champions it's smarter to wait for lvl 3 instead. (If I got that correctly)
@@buds4ever58 yeah im also not disagreeing with that, because obviously a lane bully is strong with full kit, but the point here being that having two abilities(in rivens case 4 at level 2 if you count each q cast as an ability, so technically her level 1 is already stronger than most) against 1 ability is 99% of the time is an advantage, which u should use in general
Mhamster im confused so what is ur point on that zed has his powerspike lvl 3 or 4
@@buds4ever58 Yeah, you got that correctly, although im pretty sure that Riven's and Zed's powerspikes on lvl 3 are better than their lvl 2. Riven is a champion that, maybe i can say it that way, has to utilize all of her kit to be the really good of a champion she is. She needs the dmg and dashing from Q, the small stun from W, and the shielding and dashing from her E. Her kit before 6 is like a 33,3%-33,3%-33,3%. With 2 skills she has 66,6%, with 3, and the powerspike, she has 100% (well, 99,9%). With zed, it's pretty similar, the only difference is the fact that you NEED all 3 skills to proc electrocute from range to trade more effectively. (And here comes the fact that zed is a weak champion and it's harder from him to win trades, even if he wins them the enemy has less cooldowns on their main trading abilities).
So yeah. Im not disagreeing with the lvl 2 powerspike, im just saying that some champions have a better powerspike on lvl 3 than on lvl 2, and i thought this could be mentioned in the video.
Also, some champions have better or worse powerspikes on lvl 6. Riven on lvl 6, if she's just a little good, she will almost be guaranteed a kill on the lane, or maybe even a double/triple if roaming botlane with teleport. With zed, there's a big problem with that champion, since his lvl 6 is WAY too big of a powerspike.
Riot blindly without a reason kept buffing his R, which was and isn't in any way needed, since if zed R's someone on the same lvl, items etc., He will almost always be guaranteed a kill. The problem with zed in comparison with riven, is that zed's ult is too strong, and his abilities are too weak, and that doesn't balance it out. While with riven, all of her kit is, maybe even GREAT, all of her abilities are strong if used properly. And as i said before, it's not the same with zed. Zed ults, overkill. Without ulting, can't kill. Riven ulting, kill, without ulting, kill.
Wow i have no idea how did a powerspike statement of mine transfer into a "why zed is weak" statement xD.
This video helped me a lot. I watched it like 5 times and wrote down everything. Good stuff. Keep it up! Recommend anyone to watch this to improve.
1 mistake I ALWAYS make. Leaving a honeyfruit for the rift scuttler.
17:10 if you were in low elo and tried to take Nocturne’s blue without saying anything in chat, he’d smite to secure it (even if dragon is coming up soon), and tell you that it’s his blue, not yours. And that he’s never going to give you blue or gank your lane. This is especially noticeable in Udyr mains (not all, but most).
I'm plat ii, and I didn't realize how much I needed this. I thought just get towers, drags, and baron would win us the game.
glad it helped :)
U only responded cuz she is a girl how predictable haha
Cuz ur low elo tho :)
Kimber Imperial and being Asian
Ur a girl i never see girl
Re: point 2, getting CS in laning phase. I'm currently moving through gold and one thing higher elo players (you) may not realize about this elo is that generally by 10 minutes the winning laners will have from 5 to 10 kills, and 50-80 cs. I have tried the strategy of focusing on CS and when I do so I tend to get around 85cs by 10 minutes but that doesn't come close to competing with the players who focused on getting kills in lane. Unfortunately I think your advice isn't as relevant as you would think for low elo.
I think low elo players play around their power spikes a lot but they don't respect enemies' power spikes as much
I would also add that point: Use health potions when you are starting to fight, often players are using it after fight (if they survived) 👍🏻
I'm in diamond 1 elo Vietnam sever and most players do not ward the pixle bush even if I'm begging them 😢. Jungle main here.
Quoc Bao Long Tran hay đếi
You did an exceptional job earmarking some lesser known tips that other videos didn't show - well done man.
Thanks RVStealth. Keep doing what you do. You’re awesome. Just saying ^^
Thanks man
Never played this game, but I am starting to become interested in it. There are SOOOOOO many champion choices, it seems overwhelming. Who is the champion that is being used to demo in the video starting at tip #3 2:43?
You forgot the twenty second mistake : having faith in you’re team
euw grandmaster - master season 5-8. This is the first actual guide i approve of.
0:30 I would say they don't know, not that they don't respect. Why do I say this, because I'm more or less a newbie and I don't know the power spikes and who is strongest, when, and with what items are the strongest or stronger power spike? Videos don't cover that kind of thing. What video, blog, website, etc can I go to to get that kind of information? Because to me, only very experienced players know what you're talking about.
I do agree with you that people may not know of certain powerspikes but generally if you know what abilites the enemy has and what the abilities do you should be able to have a basic understanding of when the champion is strong. For example if you know that leona has 2 CC abilites at level 2 then you should be able to recognize that she has the potential to jump on you and look for a kill. If you know a champion like Janna only has a shield and a slow at level 2 then you are alot safer and know that she doesnt have a great powerspike where she can kill you. This is something that cant really be taught and just takes alot of games in order to acqurie the knowledge. There are so many different champion combinations and different powerspikes for every single combo or champ in the game which makes it hard to make a dedicated video on that.
@@RvzStealth There are what, 141 champions in the game? People think a game like WoW is hard because of how much is going on in a raid. I use to play Wow, for 14 years I played that game, just up till November when I finally had it with the carrot on a stick game they've been giving us. So I started to play LoL, and ya some champions are really easy and just boring to me, but when you start to realize the size and scope of how many champions there are, and all the combinations possible you realize just how hard this game is. Wow doesn't have anything like a Lee Sin, Azir, or even a Shaco or Nidalee. Also, Wow has like 1k different apps you can use to give you the information you don't want to have to remember. Then you add in League's build paths for gearing, runes, levels, and your head starts to explode. So from a 14-year Wow veteran, LoL is one of the hardest game I've played.
I have a long time friend that loves ARAM, and he tries to get me to play it, but I hate it because only people who have been playing LoL for a few years IMO should really be playing ARAM, there is just too much to learn for a noobie to even think about ARAM. But there are something you can bring from Wow that it seems a lot of low Elo players just don't do and I notice it because of my time in Wow. My buddy uses the preset Rune pages for ARAM, seems a lot of low Elo ppl don't Min / Max or even try. I spend 4 or 5 hours in practice mode before I even step into a Bot game, which probably sounds dumb because it's a bot game, but I don't want to waste peoples time. IMO practice tool is there to help you learn, and you should use it exhaustively. I would say that should be #22 on the list, use the practice tool. LoL
@@Valkaneer using the practice tool isn't the best way to learn a champion IMO, I think it's better to learn their kit in one or two bot games and then jump in normals to get good at it, and to get more game knowledge. And regarding the 140 something champs, yes, they are a lot, but it's just muscle memory, and you don't need to know all the details, for example I know lee sin has an ability that if it hits, he can dash to the target, I dunno the name, cd or values but I know what it does kinda
You should play more to get more experience. Thats how you know what champs are capable of something and what their potential. Or you can just play what champs irritated you the most to understand the capabilities, weakness, and the powerspike of the champ
I really recommend downloading “blitz” for league it’s an app that automatically sets up your runes/build based on what has the highest win rate in high elo games it even gets champion specific builds. also has tips for whoever you’re in lane against and tells you their power spike items/levels and what strategies to look out for in lane
Thank you for a good informative video! I havent got time to read all comments so maybe the allready asked you. But the spots for warding if you play the red side? Thank you once again / Jasmine
3:24 R.I.P. cannon minion
Oh damn
That tutorial was so good I think I need you to be my personal life coach.
Im supp Main and... for me Its rly Hard to get out of Platin even if i respect all those tips. Does it need more to be diamond? Couldn't you maybe do a Video how to play in platinum pls? :) i love your Videos you have my Abo and like
Get better at micro and macro
what exactly is micro? macro ik a bit but micro? :o
i play supports like Karma, Thresh, Alistar, Morgana those are my main champs
you dont need any of these advice at all, focusing too much on it will actually get you distracted from the stuff that matters which is winning the game and playing around your winning conditions
which as support is all around keeping your team alive as much as you can and rotate
Go gank your mid, support your jungle when he invades. Let your adc fall back and farm. Trust me a good support ganking other lanes is just the best
So the idea at 5:14 is when you get a kill push the wave under tower and base. This does 2 things. So first if the laner comes back they will lose some minions that means gold and xp and 2nd it resets the waves to either make them push to you or to neutral. When you do this you want to get it under tower so the jungle or laner can't freeze the wave so don't hesitate to ask your jung to help you push. They will be glad for some cs and you back because when he enemy laner gets back they will have had a chance to buy so its an artificial disadvantage you don't want to opt into.
2:36 That is completely wrong,players in low elo tend to always farm instead of trying to deny the enemy farm or just harassing,they do not undervalue farm,they somewhat overvalue it.Low cs numbers at low elo come from unabillity to cs properly with autos or bad wave placements.
I dont agree. They tend to agro
@@t1luso794 Bronze players do that,silvers and gold players dont.I rarely see solo kills in those elos,only kills that happen in lanes are due to ganks.
What no. They are literally unable to farm and just autohit randomly or waste all of their mana on a wave.
Keeping ALL of this in mind, I applied it in Lansing phase in my placement games and I won 6 out of 8 mid games
Thanks man it made me learn some things -Rekkow
Still super relevant more than a year later. I realize that even though I play Garen, I've forgotten to harass enemies who are last hitting. And tip 11 (not inting), you don't want to know how often I soft int because I stubbornly fight the enemy laner again. Tysm I hope this video keeps getting views
u r saying that u should farm a lot, thats true but in 8:00 u have 10 min 65 farm -_-
Jakub Zezula and he’s playing irelia lmao
It highly depends on what happens, it's different game to game, but the reason it makes sense is because the higher elo you are the better your opponents are, so they know how to trade and punish you, this means it's harder to get perfect cs unlike in low elo, where up to gold you can easily hit 80 cs at 10 mins.
He might be behind on his ten min mark of like 80 or 70 maybe because of match up or early fight or something but then he and a lot of high Elo players will “haul ass” on their cs
because first waves start crashing at 1:50 in top and bot lanes and you don't have 15 cs at that moment . Every 30 seconds a wave spawns , 1 min = 12 cs (1cannon per 3 waves ) , so you will need about 10 min to make your cs even with time , if you farm alone and don't back .
depends on the matchup, and also that youre low on cs in the first 2 minutes of the game, you dont start evening out until later, also Aatrox is only 5 ahead and because he just backed. Seems like low elo seeking to hypocritise a pro player
what does freezing do? i know it like slows down the minions, or when you keep making the minions agro you, like what does it do?
It can do multiple things. First lets say you are Nasus and you are weaker than your opponent, then it can help you stack wave safer, because you are close to your tower(which means you should be relatively safe). Second if you are the stronger in the lane, then it can help you get cs and deny your opponent easier, because he/she has to be further up in lane, thus be easier to get ganked by your jungle. But it really depends on the situation. Hope this helped
yeah all well and good im hardstuck silver on my second account lol wanted to de rank to iron and then do a how fast can i progress self challenge (im a high diamond player) ELO hell is true lol , for eg recent game playing riven super fed, i 1v3 split bot lane , win the 1v3 but my team die 4v2 under nexus turret and loose before i can get inhibs and win.... all they had to do was just not die , silver players hurt my brain
Or maybe just get gud getting out of silver is the easiest thing ever

Number 14 use bush to reduce minions dmg while freezing the lane. Thank you bro
Some of these mistakes are a lack of doing a good action, while others are doing a bad action. I have to admit that I've never really done 14 and I should try it out. Not sure how often I'll be able to do it though, will have to see. There are some very bad mistakes here that tilt me so much. I'm pleased that not a single one of these observed mistakes are nonsense. A very logical and reasonable video.
That moment.. when your team doesn't last hit with auto attack but literally just wait for abilities to come off cooldowns xd
Are you either less than level 30 or iron rank? Lmao
If you're playing Irelia or, say, Riven/Camille, into Teemo/Jayce/Quinn/Viktor/poke, how do you figure out which defensive item gives you the most bang for your buck? On Italia, is it really that efficient vs Teemo to rush a spectre cowl befor3 triforce? Also, with Irelia Q sustain, is it more gold efficient to complete spirit visage instead of direct DOT counter of Adaptive Helm? Also, in such a poke heavy matchup where you are easily shoved, is triforce first more worth on Irelia instead of phage/sheen? Lastly, is cowl worth versus jayce since he is mixed damage early or is tabi more efficient versus all AA based poke laners (Teemo excluded since mercury treads reduce his blind)?

Nice! Good luck on your gold promos u can so it!
Tbh if you arent good at laning a quick and easy tip is to watch a wave management guide and practice poke based champions with global ults and strong push ability(xerath ziggs tf etc). Dont bother trying to actually kill them without jg, save flash to run away, dont push wave, and just keep them so low that they miss a bunch of cs, are constantly low health, and have to back constantly. Take tp so you can extend the lead even more and maybe even gank. Push when they back of If they try to make up for their behindness in levels and cs by roaming. People always think “oh youre 0-1 in lane? You lost lane “ and im like “fool ive got 40 cs on them, 2 assists, and a tower at 12 minutes”. Winning lane isnt just kills, its also cs getting your team priority for objectives. In fact, cs and objective priority is always more valuable than kills unless you are significantly feeding, like 0/3 or worse.
As a D4 player I can't describe how much I agree with you
I've seen all of these tips at least once already. Any idea on how I can remember to make use of them during my rank games?
Not Trolling usually when I play games I pick one thing I wanna work on each game and stick to it.
Note: tip #5 is no longer relevant as Scuttle Crab now spawns much later.
I understood that, as bot lane, after a kill, you shove the wave so that it resets and the enemy adc loses farm. You however, say to base ASAP on the first cannon wave. So which is it?
I know all this things, I know macro too and I'm still stuck on gold xd
same xd
then you don't know macro lmao
rtist that doesn’t mean they don’t know macro, they just cannot execute it in game. They are two completely different things. Mental blocks or lack of commitment to macro when playing is a big problem with low elo.
I im stuck gold too. I tend to play off meta champs and always vs meta champs...I gotta put time into a new "meta champ"?
@@x6da9crain if you're good on a champion you can climb with it, meta doesn't matter unless you're high elo since players don't know how to abuse it.
Regarding changing style. What recommendations do you have for shifting playstyle as say, Alistar or Leona if you fall behind in lane?
22 : they are not even in their lane!
Something you may have forgotten. Unique to supports are the fights over wards. I don't know if it's because they're bored supporting, but I've seen a lot of supports fight for and die over a ward in tri bush.

Tipp 22: Dont play with locked camera
I can’t for the life of me play on free camera, my brain doesn’t work the mouse fast enough, any tips to help get better at it?
@@mickluvin619 i had that problem too haha. you can just turn down the mouse speed or the camera move speed. and i reccomend you turning on the smooth camera. (doesnt make you sick wihile moving the cam) if you have a mouse with extra buttons you can make a "shortcut" (i guess its called like that?) on your third or fourth mousbutton to move the camera, so you dont have to move the screen while dragging the mouse to the edge of the screen. also helpful: as long as you press "space" the camera is locked. i also do that in sticky situations. but the best tipp i guess is: just do it. over and over again, so your brain dont tell you "oh i play with unlocked cam, thats gonna be horrible".
Mick Colombo Like the other commenter said you can adjust the speed which helped me bc I get motion sickness really easily. I also thought it was impossible at first but I just took it off one day and practiced like hell. It helps your vision tremendously.
Mick Colombo use space bar!
I use wasd to control camera, that's also a good alternative
I am relatively new to the game and holy, some of your tips blew my mind! Especially the level 2, amount of minions needed, as I play support! Liked!
“If you can’t get A 100 CS by ten minutes” doesn’t get a hundred CS By 10 minutes on xerath or irelia
Pretty sure he said 80 cs at 10min
Thanks for this video, this really helped me honestly speaking. I had some of my prioritzations twisted around my ankle, I think. Will be keeping this video in my favourites for quick references.
JUST FARM NOOBS
First video I watch of you and I was really glad to subscribe =) unwillingly I've been putting into practice some of your tips bro!
The biggest mistake is watching this vid
Make an updated video of this. It's very helpful but i think other stuffs here are outdated like the pixel brush ward at 1:20.
imagine being from NA and using locked cam and still trying to educate people xD
:/
Idk what’s so wrong with locked camera I play worse when it isn’t...
@@staraspect1118 first of all, litterally no good player plays with lock cam, look at the screen, how much useless information he gets by having his champ in the center of the screen, instead of looking at the scenery above toplane you should be looking at the lane, your opponent and river.
and not only do you miss crucial information but some abilites like caitlyn r, kaisa r/w, kled r can't be casted without turning off lock cam, moving the camera and then pressing the button, which takes too much time if you play at high mmr.
and you also miss more skillshots, and you are more inaccurate with your mouse clicks as your mouse moves with the camera that moves with your champion at all times, instead of being at the same spot on the map regardless of how you move your champion. (watch a faker stream, how much he clicks back and fourth to make his champion wiggle in place, now imagine if he had lock cam, how fucking dizzy he would get and how inaccurate his clicks would become)
gardakan936 it's called pressing space...
gardakan936 man, the argument I'm making applies to those who play with lock cam on. Not people occasionally pressing space to center it in a fight or whatever. Yes that is a form of "locking the camera" but it's copletely irrelevant to the point I made. So idk why you even bothered commenting in the first place
Good stuff! Like the footnotes. Easy to memorize
2:30 I get your point but I don't totally agree on it. If you kill an enemy but you miss gold from wave you still get the XP. The one that died doesn't.
I knew almost all of these, most of them I got through thinking about the game myself. I do them as best as I can already. But some of them are really helpful for me. For example never paid attention to cannon waves differently than normal waves. It's a very useful advice that I will use from now on. And I know I don't use bushes enough, too. Thank you for the video.
