| Posted: 22 Jan 2020 06:01 AM PST Most high elo streamers/pro players have great mechanics, but sometimes you see outliers like Trick2g, Foggedftw2, Cowsep or Sirchez who play mechanically easier champs at higher ranks. Does this mean that easy champions are perfectly viable in any elo from iron to challenger, or that the players themselves are extremely talented enough to make it work? I personally don't have the time to learn new champions and was wondering if I could climb to at least plat this season by solely improving my game knowledge/macro. Is it possible when I only started playing league last year? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 21 Jan 2020 06:03 PM PST Hello everyone, ya boi #2pinks every back enverOwnz here :) So the other day I posted that nami coaching vid which broke down the many mistakes that lower elo players make. Many people struggle with carrying games in low elo as an enchanter with the excuse that "you don't do damage", or "you're too team reliant." etc... I was asked to create a video on this so I took my Janna into a lower elo (silverish/gold?) to demonstrate exactly the way you should be playing in order to carry your teammates to victory. Link to full video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUaKgC23zRg Now, this isn't like those videos where it's just me smashing the enemy, I am literally showing you HOW to play like those smurfs you see in your games who utterly destroy their enemies. It's not like a diamond smurf just has some magical armor rune or takes his diamond damage that riot gave them to carry a game. There is a reason smurfs are able to do what they do and hopefully, this video going through my thought process and explaining everything out can demonstrate how to play like a smurf in your own elo. Enchanters are NOT I repeat, NOT supposed to be played passively, you should NEVER be behind your adc or team especially in lane. It is YOUR job to poke the enemy out NOT your adc's period. If your adc does poke then that's a bonus. However, the most important takeaway from this is understanding how important it is to roam. 6:40 - 7:42 illustrates how by roaming at this exact time I am not wasting a single moment, it is physically impossible for my adc to ever die and I am able to prevent a gank from happening saving not only my teammate but in return getting a kill instead all in the time that my adc is walking back to lane. Roaming works on EVERY champion no matter what, there are always opportunities to roam where your adc simply cannot die. I NEVER get flamed for roaming but at the same time, i'm only in the lane for about 40% of the time. Why? because I roam at the proper times and being able to spot those opportunities in your own games will really help in climbing. Another aspect is positioning in teamfights, I can't stress how important it is as an enchanter that you play BETWEEN your team NOT behind them, you MUST weave in auto attacks between each ability, there are ALWAYS pockets for you to stand in where you wont get hit but at the same time able to reach each of your teammates as well as the enemies. Pay attention to how I position myself in both fights and skirmishes, I never sit behind my team. Here you all go with the important timestamps :) Again, I really hope this helps some of you all out in your season 10 ranked climb! If you guys enjoyed this and would like me to make more of these with different champions please let me know below! 0:00 - quick little Intro to whats happening 0:26 - Optimal Janna runes 1:41 - getting level 1 poke 1:54 - pushing for level 2 and its importance ADCS PLEASE USE SUMS BE CONFIDENT 6:27 - Why crash the wave into the tower 6:40 - PERFECT TIME TO ROAM AND WHY 7:13 - 7:42 - how to predict and prevent ganks just by having presence from your roam (IMPORTANT) 9:16 - constantly getting your poke and dodging abilities 10:40 - DODGING FORWARD INSTEAD of WALKING BACK 10:02 - Another roam opportunity which ends in a kill 10:29 - USE YOUR SUMS to SAVE TEAMMATES always pay attention to surroundings 10:57- CHANGE YOUR BUILD ORDER BASED ON STATE OF GAME (why redemption first here) 11:26 - How to properly flank and land nados more accurately 12:10 - Another ROAM and 12:44 WHY your ADC will never flame you and then easily ganking your OWN lane 13:43 - pep talk on roams 14:20 - PATHING DIAGONALLY from base to go to pick where you will go next 16:14 - Pay attention to my positioning this fight and DONT over chase, weave in your auto attacks and play BETWEEN your team NOT behind them. 17:20 - 17:58 how to force your team to followup without typing but using pings and positioning 18:24 - CHARGE YOUR NADOS WHERE THEY ARE GOING NOT WHERE THEY ARE 19:34 - 19:57 - Waiting and chaining cc and why it's important to hold onto your abilities 20:00 - how to get DEEP vision WITHOUT dying 22:15 - more about optimal building 22:55 - how to get people to group, works 100% every time 23:44 - playing confidently and understand the fights you can take 26:27 - DONT HIT FUCKING WARDS WHILE DOING A BUFF KTHX 28:20 - Wait out abilities don't be impatient and you'll get kills 29:57 - damage graphs and wards Any feedback is appreciated good or bad!

| Help getting out of Iron - What did I build Wrong Posted: 22 Jan 2020 07:40 AM PST So I played a duo queue game with my brother cause he kept losing and we went adc/supp. I haven't played league since like 2015 so I don't really remember items and such. https://na.op.gg/summoner/userName=rspect This is the game we played last night and I was getting my ass beat by nasus, swain, and warwick. In teamfights I struggled to do damage and I didn't feel confident winning a 1v1 against any of them. I had items and gold but my damage was not good. Tips to help me and my bro climb out of iron/bronze and what to build on Lucian. I realize now I probably should've bought GA or some other defensive item also some armor reduction stuff but I don't know which items are good. Also is blitz/lucian even a good combo bot?

| How do I play Annie at a higher elo ? Posted: 22 Jan 2020 02:46 PM PST Ive played Annie for a while and I'm still at a point where I get many kills and I don't struggle too much. My problem is the fact that I'm scared that when I eventually get to a point where Annie is difficult to play because her simplicity is so detectable that it's easy to counter her. 1) is this true and and 2) does anyone have any tips to play her an a higher elo ( I'm sorry if this sounds ridiculous or stupid but I'm scared that playing her will just become overwhelmingly difficult as I reach higher elos) [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2020 08:35 AM PST https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajjOC2LwhqA&feature=youtu.be I know it's a little long but I think it is reasonable given the amount of information. Any guide going forward would be 10 minutes or less. I made this guide to teach players how to set up their wave according to what type of bot lane they are playing. [link] [comments] |
| What is the best way to use my lead as a Toplaner? Posted: 22 Jan 2020 01:52 PM PST This is undoubtedly the biggest issue I'm having as a player right now. I can usually get lane leads on champions like Ornn but I don't know how to best use that lead and actually close out games. What are the best ways to use a lead as a toplaner besides grabbing Herald with my jungler? Should I be trying to make plays mid and then look for dragon? [link] [comments] |
| Ranged top lane is not an instant win- How to win vs one Posted: 21 Jan 2020 08:57 PM PST Quinn main, here. Ranged top lane is an annoying lane for many, yes, but it is not a guarantee they will win every single lane phase. Especially in low elo's, mistakes are going to be made. The teemo, quinn, vayne, etc. will eventually get cocky and do something they shouldn't. That is when you strike. Learning to capitalize on mistakes is the easiest way to begin beating ranged top laners. Here's a list of a few things I've found through many a game as a Quinn and Teemo main. (ik, ik, I am the definition of cancer)

| How do you lane against xerath mid? Posted: 22 Jan 2020 08:51 AM PST I have a 0 procent win rate against xeraths. He just pokes me down with his massive range. I try and sidestep his qs, but those few that he land will still get me low because of how much damage they do. His push is insane, he has infinite mana. I cannot trade with him because I cannot reach him. I often try asking junglers for help but they seem to be helpless agaisnt him too most of the time. I tried finding his weakness out by playing him myself, and then I got camped under my tower by enemy jungler shaco. Is his only weakness in lane enemy jungler? If so what do I do when my jungler is useless? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2020 07:57 AM PST Hey guys, Hello, I'm CalQina, a EUW Masters Jhin main with around 2 million mastery points spread across all of my accounts. I peaked at Masters 180LP in Season 9 and ended in D1 due to me losing interest in the game, thus decaying out of Masters. I came back to playing the game actively again once Aphelios got released as I found it refreshing to play someone who is a lot more in depth than Jhin. If you have any questions or feedback, please leave them below. Thanks for reading and hope you enjoy the guide ! [link] [comments] |
| New habit forming trick I found from reading a book that's useful for me in Solo-Queue Posted: 21 Jan 2020 07:06 PM PST From the book, Atomic Habits, there's a great passage about "pointing and calling", basically a technique train conductors and engineers in other highly technical jobs use in order to not make mistakes while on the job. I found that playing league I can use the same ideas to my advantage to make sure my mind stays completely aware on the current situations, and make sure the actions I am speaking aloud are things that I actually want to do, and not things my brain has been incorrectly trained to do over time. Key here is that you aren't embarassed to speak aloud while you are playing. You can do this while recording your game and then check back after the game to realize that certain callouts are right and others may be off or completely wrong. So you mark a 'plus' or 'negative' to each action you called out depending on if it was a good choice or not.
Here is the passage in quotes: "Pointing-and-Calling is so effective because it raises the level of awareness from a nonconscious habit to a more conscious level. Because the train operators must use their eyes, hands, mouth, and ears, they are more likely to notice problems before something goes wrong. The more automatic a behavior becomes, the less likely we are to consciously think about it. And when we've done something a thousand times before, we begin to overlook things. We assume that the next time will be just like the last. We're so used to doing what we've always done that we don't stop to question whether it's the right thing to do at all. Many of our failures in performance are largely attributable to a lack of self-awareness." [link] [comments] |
| Popping guardian rune when Mordekaiser is in his ult Posted: 22 Jan 2020 01:22 AM PST I noticed the other day that when Mordekaiser ults someone, and you have the guardian rune equipped, you can stand near your teammate in his ult to pop it and give him a shield while they are in his ult. I wonder if this also happens with other runes/spells and if this is a feature or a bug? [link] [comments] |
| Kai'sa Neewbie with questions. Posted: 22 Jan 2020 03:52 AM PST So, I just picked up Kai'sa (Gold 1) and I had heard a buncha stuff about her being hard to learn and play but being super rewarding, my kinda champ, but I was wondering if people are just bullshitting. She feels like an easier vayne with way less risk. I realize that I sound like I'm coming off as a dickhead who is bragging but I wanna get better at her but I dunno what to focus on. Itemization is usually just look up a guide. What should I max first? I've been maxing Q first because it seems to just blow any squish the fuck up. I wanna keep playing her but like, is the skill floor for her just very low with a super high skill ceiling or? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2020 10:45 AM PST I am a rengar main who one tricked him for a couple of months until I was able to get plat 4 in preseason on one of my smurf account. I usually stomp games when my early game lvl 3 invades work out, or if my laners have prio to rotate for early game skirmishes. I understand the concept of tracking enemy jungle, counter ganking and counter jungle. Have a decent win rate (67%), currently placed in silver II. However, I've always struggled to play from behind. It's difficult to play with teammates who lock in scaling champs with no CC such as kayle, Vlad and Gangplank. And if I am playing against a jungle who is really good at 1v1, I am forced to play passive since the success rate of counter ganking is low. Yes I can always go for counter jungle whenever the enemy jungle is on the other side, but the amount of exp you get from a successful gank is so much more than three jungle camps. That's why I am wondering, for those of you who are able to carry through plat to diamond with high winrate in the jungle. What's your mindset when playing against comps that counter you and your teammates are playing late-game scaling champs. What's your focus in the early game to keep you and your team in the game until your teammates start to do damage? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2020 01:53 PM PST Hi everybody! i've been spamming soloq for more than a week now and I've been struggling in a lot of games to get late and being in a good spot to take the victory for our team. My main roles are support and jungle (I prefer support cause it has been my main role from the start). Most of the time, when I pick nautilus or rakan support I feel powerless: let's say I manage to land a good combo with Rakan flash + R + W and we get a kill on the lane phase from it. I keep trying to zone the enemy adc from cs and meanwhile our top and jg have died 2-3 times up there, making the game extremely difficult in the early-mid stage. As Rakan I can roam mid and help our mid laner getting priority and even once in a while, a kill. Our top lane at this point is just being destroyed by the enemy and our bot lane is just slightly ahead. Because our jg have been camping top unsuccessfuly, their team now take drake and roam towards bot to make a potential dive and take tower. At this point (let's say 15-20 minutes into the game) I feel like we're behind on every aspect of the game. The only thing I can do is put vision in some key points and try to warn my teammates to avoid teamfights and keep farming. I like to play tanky champs like naut or blitz, but lately I've been spamming Cho'gath support with good results (most people don't know how to lane against it and his late game most of the time is the winning condition). Lately, though, when the other lanes fall behind, I can't manage to get us into the game again with this champs, so I've started to play Brand to carry these games. What should I do at this point? Stick to 2-3 champions I feel confident even though I might lose some matches because of it? Maybe keep playing support mages with high damage and carry not only lane but most of the game?

| What to do when forced to share waves? Posted: 22 Jan 2020 10:06 AM PST In solo queue I run into a scenario a lot where I stomp bot, we grab tower and drake, make a rotation top or mid and the laner just sits there farming with me. Is it the right play to be inefficient and farm with them because that's where the objectives are or should I force bot lane because it nets me better gold? Also, how should I play when a mid/top laner CAN'T sidelane or take bot after me because they are considerably behind or for whatever reason. [link] [comments] |
| Been in silver for pretty much 5 years Posted: 22 Jan 2020 08:27 AM PST Hi guys, I've been in Silver for pretty much 5 years, and I play a loooooooooot. My main role is mid and I tag MID/TOP , I am an AP MALPHITE one trick(here's my OP.GG https://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=mom+of+kodoku ) I first started playing League 7 years ago and I think I have something like 70 days of played on all of my accounts in total. I also tryhard the shit out of 90% of my games and I'm a solo queue player, no normals. Recently, though, I've reached Gold 4 in Eu NE. I was very happy because reaching Gold was my goal, no, an obsession. I've raged a lot trying to hit Gold in Eu W. I had my shot at around 3 promos for Gold 4 and everytime I got sabotaged by afks, trollers and heavy bot lanes (I also was so tilted that at some point I truly was playing badly). I don,t really recognize Eu NE as a good server (sorry it's true) so unless I hit Gold 4 in Eu W I won't be satisfied and I sure as hell want to be platinum rank too. I have many questions I hope you guys can answer so that I can become a better player. I guarantee you that I try my best everytime I play, but I have no natural talent and I really struggle with abstract concepts or learning on my own in some fields, so it's really hard for me to progress

| Improving when diamond and above. Posted: 22 Jan 2020 02:23 AM PST Hello summoners. I'm a top lane main who hit diamond 4 last season. I watched proguides' videos and youtubers and sometimes streamers. I would learn from them and it really helped me climb. But now most of the videos are things I already know like lane priority and split pushing and wave management so videos do not longer help. Streamers aren't always doing an educational commentary. It's kinda like you're on your own and you need to find out why they did this specific thing instead of this. So learning from these things aren't an option for me anymore. What are some things you did that helped you climb to high diamond and above [link] [comments] |
| Honest Question: What am I suppose to do when things are going very badly. Posted: 22 Jan 2020 08:16 AM PST Im honestly trying to learn here. My past dozen or so ladder games have been appallingly bad. What do I do in these situations / what can I learn from them?
This is not a rant post. I want to learn and grow. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2020 12:22 PM PST I'm currently Silver IV and I really want to improve this season, but my farm is terrible. I think that's one of the main reasons I'm stuck, sometimes I'll kill my lane opponent 8 times and still only have about 15 cs advantage. Normally I'll get 25 cs at 5 minutes and 70 at 10. My CSing gets a bit better after a get my Lost Chapter because I can spam my habilities more. But it's still far from being good. I've seen some people saying to use practice tool, but is it really helpful? And how should I do it? Only focus on last hitting? Using a bot? [link] [comments] |
| Mindless Midlaners: How do I beat them? Posted: 22 Jan 2020 04:00 PM PST So I have a problem. Every so often, I'll find what I call a mindless midlaner. They typically play extremely safe midlaners (Anivia, Malzahar, sometimes Lux). All they do is shove waves, not even roaming. They'll waveclear and wait for the next wave. If you roam, they'll shove you into tower, autoattack the tower and simply just leave when you arrive. Mindless Midlaners almost never do anything aggressively. After level 3 or so, any engages I put on them will fail because they usually build semi-tanky for the express purpose of winning these engages. Malzahars will block your engage (or any gank engages) with shield and just vomit their cooldowns on you while walking away. Anivias will wall, stun, run. They aren't always like cs prodigies, either. They just clear waves until they have the items to be very difficult to kill, then they actually start playing the game. I call 'em mindless because whereas most players seem to be trying to make something happen in the lane, these guys don't seem to care. Most players will shove their wave to look for roam potential, or powerfarm so they can make plays around objectives. These guys don't give a fuck. Goal seems to be leaving laning phase with 0 deaths and mediocre cs. I typically play shit like Qiyana whenever I happen to get one of these matchups, and I always lose. I can't roam because I'm shoved in often and actually killing them is difficult going on impossible. I need some advice on what to do with players like these. Thanks! High plat-low dia elo. Also, if you could just give me a build order for qiyana v malz that would also be OK. [link] [comments] |
| Can someone explain omnistone for me? Posted: 22 Jan 2020 06:46 AM PST I do not understand this keystone rune, why would I choose this and get random runes all the time which can be very unreliable when I could just choose my own rune and not have to hope that luck doesn't mess me up? For example: on kayle, some guides are telling me to take omnistone, why would I take omnistone when I could just take something like press the attack or lethal tempo? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 22 Jan 2020 11:25 AM PST A bit more advanced of a concept. This will help more for those who play in 5s, but there should be a practical takeaway for everyone here even if what I'm talking about isn't immediately applicable in your elo. [link] [comments] |
| As an engage support, when should i NOT buy Zeke's Convergence? Posted: 22 Jan 2020 03:06 PM PST I've been playing a ton of Leona, Nautilus and Blitzcrank lately, and i default to buying Zeke's Convergence as my first item in the vast majority of my games. I'm starting to think if the item is okay to buy every game, or if i should try to branch out in other itemization directions. Another thing is that i also seems to default into Knight's Vow as a second item in most games. After buying Zeke's convergence, the health is great as an addition to the resistance on top of the CDR, and the active/passive (however you wanna spin it) feels really good in most games as additional protection for your ADC. Since itemization obviously is game dependant, can you give some pointers as to when i shouldn't go Zeke's first item and which items are good as a second/third buy in different situations?
