Bro i have to say it. Your thumbnails are boring AND misleading. When i see nocturne on the thumbnail, i imediattly think you re going to play nocturne which makes me NOT interested on playing the video. Thumbnail is the first thing i see and THEN the title. But by that time is already too late cause im not interested anymore. Also not hearing any comments thruout the video makes me even LESS interested into watching it. If you fix these simple things you gonna get big.
1) Thanks for the comment. I'll try to make some changes. 2) I understand the thumbnail problem. My point was showing matchup and lane/role with a bit of extra space for additional info if needed. I know it is a bit confusing for a newcomer but having Katarina on every thumbnail felt bad as every video is about her. 2.1) I've never thought about people being interested in my content from recommendations where they only filter by the thumbnail. I've more expected approach like "I wanna see how is played Katarina vs Yasuo Mid -> search for that -> finds me -> maybe follow for more Katarina content" 3) Yeah, I'm a terrible commentator and have no idea what to do about that. Maybe it's because I'm too experienced in the game but I just don't know what to talk about... Like talking about what I'm doing feels like I think the viewer is stupid because he can't understand what he sees without it being explained. Then the question is - Is it worth to have mic on just for the few sentences in critical moments? And will the commentary attract more people? Because people might rather watch a silent "live replay" than being distracted by a commentary in language they don't understand. After all there is a channel "challenger replays" with 300k subs that only downloads and records in-game replays which is kinda what I do except I also show key presses, mouse movement and camera positioning so my content is actually better
@@RavenousKatarinai understand, you re trying to create a simple video + thumbnail but the problem is that its way too simple. My recommandations are to keep the same thumbnail but also add katarina in the opposide dirrection of the champ you re playing against. It doesnt have to be the same katarina picture. You can use her other skins or some AI pictures if you must. The video commentary is non negotiable. We need to have some sort of communication. We need to know whats inside your brain and why you decided to make a move. What made you decide to make a move and how you gonna do it etc. Thats the information someone who wants to get better at katarina wants. And you re video is laking that. I see you engage on nocturne and you kill it, but what made you act on that decision? Was it that his E was down? Was it that his q was down? His passive? Is it because you re going to hit lv 6 faster? Etc. If you re english skills are not great, you can just add text or after you record the video, speak over it And yes you need to think the viewr is stupid because you re addressing to a large type of people. You can address to iron players but also to diamond players. The diamond player will understand you when you speak to the iron player, the iron player will not understand you when you speak to the diamond player. See my point? You gotta assume the viewer is BAD in every way shape and form. And since i work in customer support ii assure you most people are braindead by default anyway. =))
@@katstinct601 Making voice over of a full game is disgusting and timing subtitles is even worse. You can think 10x faster than you can speak or read so explaining why I do something before It's already done needs the video to be paused. Then I need to watch the end product where I find 20 moments that could be explained better and the work starts over. I've actually done 2 commented laning tutorials (if you are interested www.youtube.com/@RavenousKatarina/search?query=step%20by%20step%20tutorial) The first is 11 minutes video of 8 minutes of gameplay with Robo-English commentary that took 12 hours to edit and the other is czech voice over with english YT CC that took like 6 hours and then another 2 hours of making first 5 minutes of the captions after which I gave up because the YT caption maker is pure torture. I'd be glad if you could watch them and tell me your opinion. They're like the peak of my creation. One of the biggest problems with live commentary is discord call with premades. Most of my games I play with a friend and we talk about our personal lives. It's not in english, it's not game relevant and it probably shoudn't be even publicly available. Then it's just about quantity vs quality. Now I do 10 videos per month and sometimes I delete good games because I have too many of them. With the quality approach I could do like 2-3 per month.
