That ADHD laning is so true. As a support main, I see it CONSTANTLY by ADCs in every game. None of them know how to manage wave states. It drives me crazy.
I got a support so bad that put me behind in gold so after 5 deaths, I manage to freeze next to my T2 and hold it for the next 6 min, wich lead to me getting enough gold to buy my first item, then my lane oponent went bot so I killed him 1v1 and that's how I got back into the game
We try, we just suck mechanically so when we try to execute on the dodge we fail and get hit. Reacting fast enough is the problem, not not thinking about it.
What I learned in this video is I have severe ADHD. (All my Diamond and Emerald friends tell me I’m really good but) I’m hard stuck silver because every lane phase is like 9:00 where I engage or roam because I’m bored.
I'd love to play with players like you. Even though I'm stuck in the tutorial, i still try to let others not feel totally lost at the very least, because i remember how i hated the game at first because i had no idea how the controls worked or how to do what i had to do.
Oh my god so many people in bronze EXPLODE on me because I don’t follow my laner when they abandon lane with minions up. They usually end up inting or come to my lane and start taking my cs and never leaving so I just go farm other things and try to stay ahead
I have to disagree with ignoring objectives. The snowball is crazy and if the enemy team helps there, youll be screwed later on even if you get your 10 cs edit: just look at any pro player challenger on streams that plays midlane. It's all rotation between csing, objectives and roaming for kills. Thats why picks such as ahri and sylas are most played now
He's not saying never do them, he's saying there are plenty of times where it's a bad idea and you should be able to differentiate when those times are. If your team is able push waves and get a kill or two then go for it, but in the case like he highlighted his bot laners are one shot and the enemy team gets back in time so everyone going to drag there gives them free kills and a leash on the objective worst case

I recently started watching your guides and i noticed most of the things youre teaching im doing already subconcsiously and I never really was able apply those directly to my gameplay consistently especially after a long day of grinding games. Now after watching and listening to the explanations it really opened my eyes. I am 100% a victim of adhd laning and I can only play 1-3 games a day at max focus. So i had to get a smurf account to just play for fun and keep my mechanics sharp. Though the difference in rank between those two is crazy 😂 Edit: Also for Top my personal rule that I always stick to, that wins me the lane most of the times, is the first 19 minions are the by far most important in the game. The first 19 minions are the only minions in the game you can truly farm alone in a 1v1 that will determine how your lane will go.
The lesson I learn from this video is to first try to play selfish, don't get bored, manage waves properly etc. If you do that fine, you may think about rotation between waves and objectives. While most low elo players do the opposite - first objectives, then maybe waves.
Its absolutely true that neutral objectives tend to bait low elo players (like me) into playing poorly, its still important to take them, but you have to do that in a proper timing, otherwise you are just trading an advantage with your opponent instead of winning it. for example, if you trade your adc's lane state, for a drake, you are basically taking the objective in exchange for giving away the (actual or potential) adc's cs and lvl advantage. 12:17 its a perfect example, that mordekaiser traded his advantage in lane for securing void grubs, not necessarily a fatal mistake but you have to play accordingly, maybe the jungler should have helped him afterwards to fix the lane and give him the recall timer that the top needed, also morde could have backed in fog of war, making the enemy team think that he was in grubs but in reality taking his recall timer, just a few seconds later, in the worst case, he should have respected the temporal advantage of his opponent and play closer to his turret waiting for the wave to bounce back, we can see that he clearly didnt do that, furhtermore he even hit with an aoe skill the enemy wave, like he is trying to fight the slowpush. My conclussion is that this invisible mistakes don't doom your game on their own, but you need to be conscious of them, and adjust your game plan accordingly, if you don't, you open a window for your oponent to punish you and start to snowball an advantage against you. at the same time, you need to be able to see this mistakes when your oponent makes them, so you can punish them, this will allow you to come back from games that you thought where lost. remember, not punishing an oponent mistakes its sometimes as bad as comitting them yourself.
I love this so much because it's true. Like 6 years ago you could get out of bronze by just simply farming minions, but now every iron player somehow manages to get a perfect 10cs per minute
omg the threat of spell is so cool. I have been "unconsciously" doing it against Fiora with Urgot, since her W just forces you to wait for when she clicks it (or doesnt expect it anymore) before you use your E and it is literally using just that tactic. I should probably implement it more.
I really want to know. I am in gold. I almost every time go even/ahead from laning phase. Of course sometines i don't and I feed, but then I go side, farm whenever I can and from 1/8 i go 9/8, and the game stabilize for me. I pressure enemy on side, when I can. Example: I go bot to push, all 5 enemy are mid moving top, so I get free 2 towers. However my team in this time decides to flame me for not being there with them while they die randomly each at leat 2 times. Then when I am there to help, they decide to run away or all in 1v2 and they die again. And I am left there, alone with no towers to help me, no wave clear, and with threat of the enemy team. I don't understand how am I suppose to win when I get 0/6 toplane minute 12 into the game. I can't always flash away from fed Malphite or outrun Darius on ghost. It seems that I belong in that hell just for the sake of charakter development directed by higher power. It's just impossible for me to get out of that hell with 0/17 bot and 2/23 bot. Any advice, what to do when I carry the game to min 30 but mg team dies anyways and 1v5 is impossible?
I want to get out of this rank so bad, but it feels impossible. After watching many videos I applied changes to my gameplay and almost always I am better mid, but what can I do more, I can't be better jgl while not being the jgl
Feel like this mindset is what causes the most issues within league. "Always play for your own lane. Never play for objectives." Then 10 minutes later, every laner in league "jgl gap, no objectives, gg".
It is indeed a terrible idea, there are many scenarios where people follow advices like these, and completely int a river objective when it's free if its played as a team, besides these things are not to be taught to players playing the same rank. - A player in the same rank would not be able to abuse another player that easily with helping with grubs instead of recalling, and that morde example, he could've just recalled after grubs but he went to lane instead and inted it, helping with grubs was no mistake there with a pressured wave like that, if garen was low that is, or if there was a threat of enemy jgler. Can't give out advices like this saying "worry about your lane only, ignore everything" Sometimes when you rotate you can save your team up to 1.5K gold, which is worth way more than you simply getting half a wave or pushing in your wave. You'll LOSE far more games if you are selfish consistently where your teammates simply just RQ / AFK or open the game up or troll, which is really common if you display consistent selfish behaviour. Yes having your own lead and carrying the game is a good way to get high winrates in pisslow, but even then if you got your 8 cs lead in 3min into the game, while your bot + your jungler gave up on playing, good luck winning that
In low elo? It's warranted tho maybe never is a stretch. The number of times I watch people drop everything and give up advantages on stypid plays while climbing is insane. If your jungler wants to do something dumb you are not obligated to join in
@@grewiestiffin801 I never help junglers. If they can't do objectives themselves, they don't deserve them. That's like a support wanting me to babysit them placing wards. It's their job.
Multi seasonal diamond player since season 7 I disagree with you here 12:00 going for those grubbies is good if he doesn't have a meaningful purchase to make and if he's already put down vision/knows where the enemy jg is. Where he messed up was not respect that you have multiple waves stacked up from your slow push and walked up when he should be spacing you out waiting for the wave to come to him safely. I mean that is the purpose for setting up slow pushes to give you more time to do something else or to set up a bounce back for a freeze. Also skill cap guy I do have a question I always make when I look at any educational content, why should I listen to you? What are your credentials? Have you hit Challenger? Are you a former pro?
He hit challenger multiple times, then he even proved it on video, he has his climb posted on skillcapped site. He’s working as a professional smurfer. At skillcapped, he’s known as the king of low elo, because he plays a lot there.. before skillcapped he was a booster, he boosted any role any champ to challenger. If you want to learn macro, he’s the guy. Also, I think here he just didnt want to complicate things, as it is made for low elo players. If morde just recalls he keeps his advantage so it’s like whatever, players cant learn everything at once, videos should be made simple.
You guys need to adopt the phrase “ad carry brain rot”. ALL adc’s in low elo just auto as much as possible, and constantly push, regardless of if they’re behind, where the junglers are, what objectives are up, where mid is….they just auto-auto-auto over and over cause they don’t use their brain or think about waves.
this video scares me as a jungler. some low elo player is gonna see this and grief the game because he thinks that they should never rotate to objectives (thats kind of the way you made it sound). For those who i am speaking, ROTATE BUT NOT WITH !*BAD!* LANE STATE! YOUR JUNGLER DOESNT NEED HELP UNLESS HES BEING SIEGED!!
Hopefully hector will do a video on this, he probably has allready at skillcapped: "the game is an esport" - you push every slightest advantage and lock yourself in to win. You want to win every game and play the best as you can. Low elo is just sitting afk in lane, never trading and out of the blue all ins. I appreciate the vods but at this point i dont think people arent watching vids as much as they are feeding games.
He's saying that if he went to roam with the lane in the state it was at the moment he'd be screwed because wave is pushing away from him. Yes, as a rule of thumb you have to always shove before roaming, which is why he didn't roam there as he couldn't shove fast enough being lvl 1.
I think bad team mates are fine. Mistakes are acceptable. Its low elo, both teams are full of mistakes all around. I do not feel like I am currently suck in low elo because of bad teams either. I genuinely feel like 3/4 of my losses are from quitter mentality. Low elo players are champions of throwing out the FF button in an even game. You can be up 20 kills and have half of the enemy base destroyed before losing your first tower and your team will still spam to FF. If people had the desire to get good and actually win, then low elo wouldnt be hell. All everyone seems to want is the free easy win. If effort is required, they just FF and toss all confidence out the window and beg to move onto the next round.
As someone who recently started playing again (never really played the game but got level 30 a while back and played my placements, got bronze) and got placed in iron for s3 2024: people dont even try to dodge skillshots lmao. Especially as Orianna, i can just poke them low, place my ball and at some point they will just run into it and I can R + W + E + Q them for a free kill... To then get dived by a 10/0 enemy jungler and a perfect 8/1 ashe ult (help xd)
In my opinion, skill cap's analyses of other people's gameplay is more interesting and fun to watch (low elo vs high elo vs pro). Here it kinda feels like the guy is defending his gameplay. Nice recap tho !
I feel like this is somewhat dishonest in some ways. The 'threat' of the spell is only credible once you get to an elo where Riot isn't dumping new accounts into your game (all of silver) and where the players actually care. There is a higher average skill in the game now but not a higher average knowledge, league players are allergic to taking in almost any knowledge about the game. I don't think enough players below Plat actually are thinking about anything other than a dozen dangerous spells that have given them PTSD in the game like Malphite ult. They get rewarded too often for spamming their spells, they get a few wins from this so they keep doing it and they don't internalize anything beyond that.
get one of your guys to see if they can climb out of Iron on OCE? I'm curious to see if you can win more than two games in a row. But not just that - do it on an account that has actually played a few sessions, so you’re actively fighting the MMR system. I want to see if an account that the system thinks belongs in Iron 4 will end up where it should be.
My only pushback in regards to focus on laning is rarely do my mid laners do anything while staying in lane. They are constantly behind and decide to stay in lane while im pushing for an objective. They rarely ever hit tower, have maybe a 5 cs lead at best, and the enemy mid laner picks up 3-4 kills. I believe in being selfish but sometimes being practical has to be put into it as well. If any of my mid laners are actually winning their lane then i have 0 issue staying in lane.
Guys you need to explane me why he sayes he couldnt move with lis or he would be screeed. Wave is pushing away from him 6 minions. After 30 seconds the wave would crash back to him and even if shen comes back to freze the wave lis can shove it with 2 spells. Like explane me i dont get it. Jgl gets invaded you could have moved first and since shens wave clear is shit you probably be back before the wave is shoved anyways. Jgl eary lvl matter the same or even more than laners . If you kill eneny jgl there the benefit is insane no ?
Notice how when he presses tab shen is just now getting back to lane and is still lvl 1. The roam by shen was troll to begin with bc he is essentially screwing himself over. Look at liss exp he is halfway to lvl 4. You are trying to press your own advantages early on bc small wins lead to much larger ones later. Guess who will hit lvl 6 first and get to impact the map first? This level lead as a laner far outweighs getting invaded and losing one maybe two jungle camps as a jungler and only dying bc you are egoing and want to not lose that one camp. The jungler is still going to get lvl 3 regardless. If the fight was closer in river I can see the case of shoving to get lvl 2 and assisting with the level lead. But in this case I wouldn’t have left either. If anyone should have assisted it was the support. Also it’s an ivern, a support jungler, losing one camp isn’t the end of the world early. It may feel bad sure but that is the ego being bruised.
1 Mid is more important than jungle. If Anyone has to be behind first is the support, then the ADC, then the TOP or Jungle and last the Mid. At Masters+ ADC becomes more important and switches places in priority with TOP. 2nd if he move first then Shen Should make sure he loses 2 waves worth of XP and not let him play the laning phase from that point
As support main low elo is hell people are so weak mentally your adc and jg chase under turrets and type ff after first death so you often just play praying that rest of the team don't throw and try play around them if they don't shi.. talk each other on team chat😂
Supports and adc's needs to stop following eachother when 1 or the other goes suicidal in lane because that is very frustrating.Or adc or supp thinks i want to fight i can kill blabla and then the poor other guy goes in also without knowing if that was good or not.
How to punish peple when they try to hold u down? Jungle and top intentionally trying to win and inting every game ? Can yu tell me hw to find them and how?
I hit plat 1 with brain off, Right clicking on Kalista and pressing E. I type to my team in 99% of my lobbies "I am going to perma right click run at enemy team. Peel and win the game" And only when I hit P1 has that started not working so good, and it's because my teams are playing more scared the higher I get and are perma scared to fight. The game isn't hard, people are just so scared of getting behind that they refuse to make plays to get ahead.
True. After playing ADC since season 3, I've switched to mid this split. Especially in low elo it's impossible to carry as an ADC unless you are a god tier player.
It's quite easy because you barely depend on good macro. Your micro is more than enough to reach Emerald-Diamond with only split pushing/side laning and playing the meta, never do bad blind picks like jhin/caitlyn.
it’s quite hard to splitpush solo as an adc even when I stomped my lane, when enemy team has two fed tanks and an assassin who collapse on me instantly and my team roams jungle to pick fights. At least as a midlaner with tp you can splitpush solo and somewhat control what happens on the other lanes. Maybe Vayne or Kai’sa can do this with perfect micro, but less than perfect and you’re screwed
I don't think it's appropriate to call the issues in the mid section of the video "ADHD" laning - it's trivialising an actual mental health condition and isn't actually accurate. The Yone example is complacency which can be improved with awareness of the risk of it, among other things.
I feel finally seen. Some of these High Elo Tips and tricks are just not it. I dont know how to carry a 0/10 bot lane with these kinds of advices. Learning to put pressure on the map elsewhere is gonna increase my winrate I assume.
I say it all the time, most gold players could be low diamond if they just played when they would play at there best. While all your neurons are firing and you refuse to tilt. Of course you’d have significantly less ranked games
Such bad advice in this video. You shouldn't deal in absolutes (only play selfishly during the early game). Skill cap out of touch with low elo players.
We are hardstuck low elo because you challengers are smurfing, its difficult to play against someone way better than yourself....I had 360 cs, I couldnt win cause the rest of my team sucked....
Weird, does the game hate you and never put smurfs on your team or is this a excuse you convinced yourself with? If you think you are high elo but cant beat 1 high elo smurf on the enemy team, what are you but low elo?
The Jhin probably hits level 6 because Nautilus is level 4 so I presume he lost XP and Jhin got solo exp. That would 100% explain the Kai'Sa making that loop motion
You can see that jhin hits 6 when they tab open the scoreboard at 13:28.

The funny thing is. I'm having ADHD and not doing it myself, but rather getting irritated by others. Prob my 'utistic side is showing up.
We don't bother managing wave states because 90% of our supports will ADHD push anyway.
As an ADC Main i get spam pinged by my supp whenever i try to set up a freeze, and 75% of the supps the start shoving my Wave 🙄🙄
I don't think the skillshot threat applies in low elo bc low elo players dont Dodge skill shots. Look at illaoi's winrate....
they do, ive gotten a few extra autos many tjmes for holding a spell in low
It does apply like for example when I have Yas 3rd Q they go creazy trying to predict when im gona cast it

My conclussion is that this invisible mistakes don't doom your game on their own, but you need to be conscious of them, and adjust your game plan accordingly, if you don't, you open a window for your oponent to punish you and start to snowball an advantage against you. at the same time, you need to be able to see this mistakes when your oponent makes them, so you can punish them, this will allow you to come back from games that you thought where lost. remember, not punishing an oponent mistakes its sometimes as bad as comitting them yourself.
13:28 maybe jhin ulti?
that would explain the loop
He saw kaisa was level 5 and didn't realise Jhin hit 6. 100% jhin ult
6:26 Ain't no way he pronounced Yone like that...........
I love this so much because it's true. Like 6 years ago you could get out of bronze by just simply farming minions, but now every iron player somehow manages to get a perfect 10cs per minute
omg the threat of spell is so cool. I have been "unconsciously" doing it against Fiora with Urgot, since her W just forces you to wait for when she clicks it (or doesnt expect it anymore) before you use your E and it is literally using just that tactic. I should probably implement it more.
I really want to know. I am in gold. I almost every time go even/ahead from laning phase. Of course sometines i don't and I feed, but then I go side, farm whenever I can and from 1/8 i go 9/8, and the game stabilize for me. I pressure enemy on side, when I can. Example: I go bot to push, all 5 enemy are mid moving top, so I get free 2 towers. However my team in this time decides to flame me for not being there with them while they die randomly each at leat 2 times. Then when I am there to help, they decide to run away or all in 1v2 and they die again. And I am left there, alone with no towers to help me, no wave clear, and with threat of the enemy team. I don't understand how am I suppose to win when I get 0/6 toplane minute 12 into the game. I can't always flash away from fed Malphite or outrun Darius on ghost. It seems that I belong in that hell just for the sake of charakter development directed by higher power. It's just impossible for me to get out of that hell with 0/17 bot and 2/23 bot. Any advice, what to do when I carry the game to min 30 but mg team dies anyways and 1v5 is impossible?
I want to get out of this rank so bad, but it feels impossible. After watching many videos I applied changes to my gameplay and almost always I am better mid, but what can I do more, I can't be better jgl while not being the jgl
Feel like this mindset is what causes the most issues within league. "Always play for your own lane. Never play for objectives." Then 10 minutes later, every laner in league "jgl gap, no objectives, gg".
Saying that in a video seems absolutely foul, especially for lower elo players watching and then feeling cool for ignoring everything but their lane..
It is indeed a terrible idea, there are many scenarios where people follow advices like these, and completely int a river objective when it's free if its played as a team, besides these things are not to be taught to players playing the same rank.
- A player in the same rank would not be able to abuse another player that easily with helping with grubs instead of recalling, and that morde example, he could've just recalled after grubs but he went to lane instead and inted it, helping with grubs was no mistake there with a pressured wave like that, if garen was low that is, or if there was a threat of enemy jgler. Can't give out advices like this saying "worry about your lane only, ignore everything" Sometimes when you rotate you can save your team up to 1.5K gold, which is worth way more than you simply getting half a wave or pushing in your wave.
You'll LOSE far more games if you are selfish consistently where your teammates simply just RQ / AFK or open the game up or troll, which is really common if you display consistent selfish behaviour. Yes having your own lead and carrying the game is a good way to get high winrates in pisslow, but even then if you got your 8 cs lead in 3min into the game, while your bot + your jungler gave up on playing, good luck winning that
In low elo? It's warranted tho maybe never is a stretch. The number of times I watch people drop everything and give up advantages on stypid plays while climbing is insane. If your jungler wants to do something dumb you are not obligated to join in
@@grewiestiffin801 I never help junglers. If they can't do objectives themselves, they don't deserve them. That's like a support wanting me to babysit them placing wards. It's their job.
@@Bsweet117 yeah bro, I get it. They gotta climb up on their own, not depend on you carrying them out of silver. Right?
Multi seasonal diamond player since season 7 I disagree with you here 12:00 going for those grubbies is good if he doesn't have a meaningful purchase to make and if he's already put down vision/knows where the enemy jg is. Where he messed up was not respect that you have multiple waves stacked up from your slow push and walked up when he should be spacing you out waiting for the wave to come to him safely. I mean that is the purpose for setting up slow pushes to give you more time to do something else or to set up a bounce back for a freeze. Also skill cap guy I do have a question I always make when I look at any educational content, why should I listen to you? What are your credentials? Have you hit Challenger? Are you a former pro?
He hit challenger multiple times, then he even proved it on video, he has his climb posted on skillcapped site. He’s working as a professional smurfer. At skillcapped, he’s known as the king of low elo, because he plays a lot there.. before skillcapped he was a booster, he boosted any role any champ to challenger. If you want to learn macro, he’s the guy. Also, I think here he just didnt want to complicate things, as it is made for low elo players. If morde just recalls he keeps his advantage so it’s like whatever, players cant learn everything at once, videos should be made simple.
You guys need to adopt the phrase “ad carry brain rot”. ALL adc’s in low elo just auto as much as possible, and constantly push, regardless of if they’re behind, where the junglers are, what objectives are up, where mid is….they just auto-auto-auto over and over cause they don’t use their brain or think about waves.
2:15 That's why the correct play was to go straight to Kai'Sa and react to Zyra's E with flash
01:09 xerath in chat after missing every single ability:"Bro these minions" xDDD
“Screw your teammates” the Sett top lane with Aphelios botlane got that part
The Jax top with an Annie mid
3:50 this charm on leesin was exactly the thing he said lol had he waited a bit more he could've hit E ( or maybe not)
this video scares me as a jungler. some low elo player is gonna see this and grief the game because he thinks that they should never rotate to objectives (thats kind of the way you made it sound). For those who i am speaking, ROTATE BUT NOT WITH !*BAD!* LANE STATE! YOUR JUNGLER DOESNT NEED HELP UNLESS HES BEING SIEGED!!
As a jungler, you should be able to see wavestates and often you will be able to solo dragon or grubs. Just make sure you have info on the enemy team.
I'm listening to everything Hector has to say.
Hopefully hector will do a video on this, he probably has allready at skillcapped: "the game is an esport" - you push every slightest advantage and lock yourself in to win. You want to win every game and play the best as you can.
Low elo is just sitting afk in lane, never trading and out of the blue all ins.
I appreciate the vods but at this point i dont think people arent watching vids as much as they are feeding games.
Skip ad button 5:55
instructions unclear : held malphite R the whole game and kept splitpushing. Teammate flammed me
Me, a shyvana main, on my way to coin flip a game at drake for that sweet stack of +5 armor & mr: "but playing for myself is playing for drake!"
Im so pleased I watch these vids and learn these mistakes as it means Im only going to make them 20-30 more times before I learn my lesson.
10:06 how are you completely screwed if you shove a lane and help? You always shove before you roam.
He's saying that if he went to roam with the lane in the state it was at the moment he'd be screwed because wave is pushing away from him. Yes, as a rule of thumb you have to always shove before roaming, which is why he didn't roam there as he couldn't shove fast enough being lvl 1.
Hector is the goat, thanks for getting my lowass out of bronze and reaching emerald
In defense of Shaco he was planning to steal drag and couldnt know you had vision on him
Hector calling out guide makers who say "you're trash", while saying this himself in many past videos is just hilarious :)
"bro these fuckin minions" looks alot like "aaaaaah, he is too tanky"
dont underestimate that first tipp, took me years to realize that back in the day :S
I think bad team mates are fine. Mistakes are acceptable. Its low elo, both teams are full of mistakes all around. I do not feel like I am currently suck in low elo because of bad teams either. I genuinely feel like 3/4 of my losses are from quitter mentality. Low elo players are champions of throwing out the FF button in an even game. You can be up 20 kills and have half of the enemy base destroyed before losing your first tower and your team will still spam to FF. If people had the desire to get good and actually win, then low elo wouldnt be hell. All everyone seems to want is the free easy win. If effort is required, they just FF and toss all confidence out the window and beg to move onto the next round.
Cool, now my silver laners won't help when I get invaded or do obj because they heard it in a SkillCaped vid. (Jk, they don't do that now anyway)
best decision by skillcapped to hire hector - i love him (i mean it)
As someone who recently started playing again (never really played the game but got level 30 a while back and played my placements, got bronze) and got placed in iron for s3 2024: people dont even try to dodge skillshots lmao. Especially as Orianna, i can just poke them low, place my ball and at some point they will just run into it and I can R + W + E + Q them for a free kill... To then get dived by a 10/0 enemy jungler and a perfect 8/1 ashe ult (help xd)
i d love to see that ivern and pantheon watching the part that Hector gets flammed for not roaming....
In my opinion, skill cap's analyses of other people's gameplay is more interesting and fun to watch (low elo vs high elo vs pro). Here it kinda feels like the guy is defending his gameplay. Nice recap tho !
Hector vids are such a cut above the rest. Gonna have to pay Curtis royalties for mental stack tm
I feel like this is somewhat dishonest in some ways. The 'threat' of the spell is only credible once you get to an elo where Riot isn't dumping new accounts into your game (all of silver) and where the players actually care. There is a higher average skill in the game now but not a higher average knowledge, league players are allergic to taking in almost any knowledge about the game.
I don't think enough players below Plat actually are thinking about anything other than a dozen dangerous spells that have given them PTSD in the game like Malphite ult. They get rewarded too often for spamming their spells, they get a few wins from this so they keep doing it and they don't internalize anything beyond that.
As someone with actual ADHD I finally understand why I don't like laning and only pick jungle, thanks!
get one of your guys to see if they can climb out of Iron on OCE? I'm curious to see if you can win more than two games in a row. But not just that - do it on an account that has actually played a few sessions, so you’re actively fighting the MMR system. I want to see if an account that the system thinks belongs in Iron 4 will end up where it should be.

“To climb out of gold”
Oh…oh ok, ok yeah I shouldn’t even be watching this video I see 😂🤣😫
When can we forget to do without going back to base and go to grabs
i see mental stack and immediately thought, skillcapped watches coach curtis?
I love hectors voice
Does Hector have a Twitch?
My only pushback in regards to focus on laning is rarely do my mid laners do anything while staying in lane. They are constantly behind and decide to stay in lane while im pushing for an objective. They rarely ever hit tower, have maybe a 5 cs lead at best, and the enemy mid laner picks up 3-4 kills. I believe in being selfish but sometimes being practical has to be put into it as well. If any of my mid laners are actually winning their lane then i have 0 issue staying in lane.
Make Xerath video iff possible ❤
Tbh I didn’t understand this part about laning 😭😭😭😭
Bro adhd laying is my downfall for sure 🤣 I gotta perfect my wave control
Guys you need to explane me why he sayes he couldnt move with lis or he would be screeed.
Wave is pushing away from him 6 minions.
After 30 seconds the wave would crash back to him and even if shen comes back to freze the wave lis can shove it with 2 spells.
Like explane me i dont get it.
Jgl gets invaded you could have moved first and since shens wave clear is shit you probably be back before the wave is shoved anyways.
Jgl eary lvl matter the same or even more than laners .
If you kill eneny jgl there the benefit is insane no ?
Notice how when he presses tab shen is just now getting back to lane and is still lvl 1. The roam by shen was troll to begin with bc he is essentially screwing himself over. Look at liss exp he is halfway to lvl 4. You are trying to press your own advantages early on bc small wins lead to much larger ones later. Guess who will hit lvl 6 first and get to impact the map first? This level lead as a laner far outweighs getting invaded and losing one maybe two jungle camps as a jungler and only dying bc you are egoing and want to not lose that one camp. The jungler is still going to get lvl 3 regardless. If the fight was closer in river I can see the case of shoving to get lvl 2 and assisting with the level lead. But in this case I wouldn’t have left either. If anyone should have assisted it was the support. Also it’s an ivern, a support jungler, losing one camp isn’t the end of the world early. It may feel bad sure but that is the ego being bruised.
1 Mid is more important than jungle. If Anyone has to be behind first is the support, then the ADC, then the TOP or Jungle and last the Mid. At Masters+ ADC becomes more important and switches places in priority with TOP.
2nd if he move first then Shen Should make sure he loses 2 waves worth of XP and not let him play the laning phase from that point
Hector the real goat
enemy yoon. made me laugh, good vid.
im stumped between justifying their smurfing or not
after all these years hector is still low elo
As support main low elo is hell people are so weak mentally your adc and jg chase under turrets and type ff after first death so you often just play praying that rest of the team don't throw and try play around them if they don't shi.. talk each other on team chat😂
Supports and adc's needs to stop following eachother when 1 or the other goes suicidal in lane because that is very frustrating.Or adc or supp thinks i want to fight i can kill blabla and then the poor other guy goes in also without knowing if that was good or not.
13:27 jhin ult?
How to punish peple when they try to hold u down? Jungle and top intentionally trying to win and inting every game ? Can yu tell me hw to find them and how?
it rly doenst matter when u have duuuumb af team8s tho
I hit plat 1 with brain off, Right clicking on Kalista and pressing E. I type to my team in 99% of my lobbies "I am going to perma right click run at enemy team. Peel and win the game" And only when I hit P1 has that started not working so good, and it's because my teams are playing more scared the higher I get and are perma scared to fight. The game isn't hard, people are just so scared of getting behind that they refuse to make plays to get ahead.
"Threat of your spell" Nope you don't understand Low Elo Games. a real low elo kog maw would do exact the same thing besides Zyra having E up or not.
depends on the player.. some run around to dodge every meaningless skillshot, some dont care about anything and they just go ham every time
And there are enouth zyras that still would miss the e even in kog moves straight
@@a.r.9485 I don't need to be called out like this :')
"Yohn" lmaoo
most of my teammates have mental problems worse than adhd
i have to stop playing ADC for real as solo player, this role is disgustingly bad for climbing
True. After playing ADC since season 3, I've switched to mid this split. Especially in low elo it's impossible to carry as an ADC unless you are a god tier player.
It's quite easy because you barely depend on good macro.
Your micro is more than enough to reach Emerald-Diamond with only split pushing/side laning and playing the meta, never do bad blind picks like jhin/caitlyn.
it’s quite hard to splitpush solo as an adc even when I stomped my lane, when enemy team has two fed tanks and an assassin who collapse on me instantly and my team roams jungle to pick fights. At least as a midlaner with tp you can splitpush solo and somewhat control what happens on the other lanes. Maybe Vayne or Kai’sa can do this with perfect micro, but less than perfect and you’re screwed
Play Mages, they OP rn in bot
Didn't Tyler1 do it?
This is what i say to my supportt all the time, please hold your stun dont spam it 😅
Intermediate level guide, won't work in iron. Trust me bro.
I never climb in solo wenn i all the time just getting inter and feeder fu this dumb game
Yone ❌
Yawn ✔
I don't think it's appropriate to call the issues in the mid section of the video "ADHD" laning - it's trivialising an actual mental health condition and isn't actually accurate. The Yone example is complacency which can be improved with awareness of the risk of it, among other things.
I feel finally seen. Some of these High Elo Tips and tricks are just not it. I dont know how to carry a 0/10 bot lane with these kinds of advices. Learning to put pressure on the map elsewhere is gonna increase my winrate I assume.
who tf is hector
Love your content =]
Goat
But I have adhd :/
I say it all the time, most gold players could be low diamond if they just played when they would play at there best. While all your neurons are firing and you refuse to tilt. Of course you’d have significantly less ranked games
Guten Tag
Hector the goat, ily uwu owo
And first tip… you need to know all the champs and all their spells and CD’s. See you in 50+ hours just to get to know each champ a bit 😅
Such bad advice in this video. You shouldn't deal in absolutes (only play selfishly during the early game). Skill cap out of touch with low elo players.
We are hardstuck low elo because you challengers are smurfing, its difficult to play against someone way better than yourself....I had 360 cs, I couldnt win cause the rest of my team sucked....
I very much doubt that this obscure instance is indicative of your gameplay as a whole.
@@VladDascaliuc I climbed from silver to platinum the past month and there is a 80% wr, lvl 30, base skin smurf in every Second game
Weird, does the game hate you and never put smurfs on your team or is this a excuse you convinced yourself with?
Weird, does the game hate you and never put smurfs on your team or is this a excuse you convinced yourself with? If you think you are high elo but cant beat 1 high elo smurf on the enemy team, what are you but low elo?
Your whole team sucking isn't an excuse for your loss. You just don't know how to carry your games.
