| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 10:41 AM PDT As a jungle coach, I've seen lots of low-elo players with almost no ability to read lanes. Frequently you'll gank a lane, your laner won't follow up, and you lose the 1v1 to the enemy laner. Is it your teammate's fault they didn't follow? Or is it your fault for misreading the lane state? I'd like to help jungle mains understand this concept better so they can make sense of the cause and effect of ganking different lane states. I created a full video explaining lane state in depth.
I hope this helps all the junglers understand the pros/cons of ganking lanes in different situations. Remember that it's your responsibility to understand the limitations of your teammates before committing to a play. Feel free to add any other input or ask questions in the comments!

| Good CS isn't just about last hitting Posted: 03 Jun 2020 08:52 PM PDT Hi everyone, I'm a mid diamond (d2/d3) mid main (IGN: PAO THE GR8 1) that has seen a good number of posts about how to achieve better, more consistent cs numbers. Of course last hitting minions is a fundamental skill that's important to master to improve and ensure you're getting a healthy amount of gold each game, but it is certainly not the only thing that factors into how much cs you get every game. Macro decisions and lane/wave management are extremely important in keeping up good cs numbers and not falling substantially behind in gold/xp. A couple common examples I see that create low cs numbers are 1. poor wave management early game (not pushing out a minion wave before basing, or roaming when a full wave+ of minions is about to hit your tower) and 2. multiple people farming one wave mid game while a side lane goes unfarmed. I could probably write an entire book regarding this topic that covers things like freezes, slow pushes, pulling waves, etc. But keep in mind that if you ever find yourself down 50-100cs, it is almost always not just because your opponent is better than you at last hitting. There are often circumstances that will prevent you from perfectly setting up minion waves, with a top reason in my mind being that sometimes it isn't safe to push out a minion wave or farm a side lane. Knowing how to manage waves early game and knowing when to safely farm side lanes mid/late game is something that takes a lot of practice and experience, and in my opinion are crucial skills that are tough to master. However, if you can limit the number of times you find yourself and your team missing out on large minion waves (or to take it a step further, find more opportunities to have your opponent be the one missing those waves, like pressuring dragon when you see multiple waves crashing into their top turret), you will be in more advantageous positions that lead to winning more games. Having played this game as much as I have for as long as I have, I'm hoping to start posting more with topics like these to help others improve. I know this post doesn't go into much detail, but please let me know if it's helpful! [link] [comments] |
| Make sure you are mentally prepared for a game of LoL. Posted: 04 Jun 2020 04:13 PM PDT League of Legends is a game that's notorious for its toxic community, so I'm here to tell you about few things you can do to make sure you're not the toxic player of your team! While this might not be a post about learning to play a champion, learning about certain mechanical aspects, it is a post designed to help people to get out of a toxic mindset.

| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:02 PM PDT Is Ashe bad in low elo (silver2)? I am a ashe one trick adc and have over 1500 takedowns on her, however when I hover ashe in champion select my teammates sometimes want me to change because of her weak damage or when I make a mistake in game. I personally enjoy her kit because you can catch anyone off guard or initiate the team fight with arrow and make something happen as adc or slow the running enemy with autos to death. If she is that bad what champion has a similar playstyle as adc? https://euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=JustChilling1 [link] [comments] |
| I dont understand the yi taric funnel. Why Taric? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 09:36 AM PDT When I hear people talk about the yi taric funnel they say most often to ban taric, because the funnel can be done without yi but not without taric. What makes taric so ideal? Why not zilean, he can stun, ult, lvl up the yi and give ms. Why not lulu for similar reasons? they both seem like at least A tier funnels if taric is a S tier. I have never done it though so i dont really understand it all. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 04:09 PM PDT Hello can someone please explain the top lane Malphite matchup to me . I mainly play Jax and it seems like there's no way to win the matchup. If I play passively he just Q's me to death and regens his shield and if I play aggro he seems to just outdamage me. How can I win trades against him? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 11:49 AM PDT I'm a bronze/low silver player, and want to learn how to manage minion waves in top/mid. I see terms such as fast pushing, slow pushing and freezing thrown around all the time, but I don't understand how to force these things to happen. Any guides I see seem to target more complicated mechanics. Any help would be greatly appreciated! [link] [comments] |
| Is taking an inhib early a thing you should avoid? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 01:52 PM PDT On one of tyler1's games (about 2 months ago, he was playing draven vs kalista top) his team could've pushed to take the inhib but caitlyn said "early inhib kinda bad" but T1 pointed out it's minute 24. I don't really get why nor when it's preferable to not take the inhib Thanks a lot [link] [comments] |
| What can I do as a primarily top laner to help my team? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 03:17 PM PDT I'm going to use my latest game as an example. I was playing Gnar into a Garen, pretty balanced matchup, we both had similar CS, and although I was able to trade blows harder, neither was really winning for an overwhelming majority of the laning phase. All the while, I would hear my team dying to either the mid laner or the jungler, while I remained 0/0/0 for a while. Please bear in mind I'm not trying to take a moral high ground and claim "oh my team sucks, I'm actually a challenger but stuck cause of my team". I also recognize that I have flaws and am not particularly good at macro. With that all in mind, what should I look to do as a top laner when I find a lane is struggling? What should I keep watch for, and to add onto that, when should I be rotating for objectives? In most cases, the enemy laner remains on top with me, so should I just ignore them and go for the objective, risking my laner getting plates or more cs? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 11:59 AM PDT Is there way to automatically come back with camera to myself, after using f keys? Let's say I want to hold F1 to see top, and when I release it I'll go back to my character. Now I am pressing F1 to see top, and then I have to press space to come back to me [link] [comments] |
| Crucial advice for low-elo laners. Posted: 04 Jun 2020 11:56 AM PDT Im a jungle main. I have some advice for low-elo players i felt necessary to hear to perhaps learn how to secure a more winning laning phase as i see the wrong teamwork far too often. One thing i see happen all the time, and can usually be the difference in games being a win or a loss, is early game jungling and how your laners can completely destroy the ganking game for your jger rendering yourself and your jger to be ineffective or completely redundant. But for 80% of my games I'm seeing champs that somewhat rely on early ganks to help set themselves and there laners up to win lane phase to move into a winning mid-late team, such as a rek-sai, elise, olaf, nocturne etc. Laners cannot spam ping assist on there lane and expect there jungle to magically secure a kill on a utility/cc or mobile champ who is halfway out from there turret. Laners will need to do there part to ensure the jger has the best chance at getting the right angle and timing. Ive been in too many games where all lanes are pushed with no threat of securing any kind of kill or gettimg off any decent trades and they themselves get ganked easily or there stuck in a limbo of bad wave control and no cs income.
These are some of the things I'm recognizing way too regularly in games when I'm jging, and felt this advice could be beneficial. I really do hope this helps someone out there stuck in elo hell. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 03:44 PM PDT Data sites like these are good for looking up data and it is valuable, but when learning a new champ it's good to also look at guides and not just the raw data. Let's take a champion like Varus as a prime example; Varus can be played 4 ways, on-hit, lethality, crit, or AP. However, data sites right now will give you the build for Lethality Varus as that's considered his optimal build atm. Data is centered around high elo (plat+) because it's more reliable as lower elo play is more of a coin toss. This is important because with a situational champ like varus the data won't reflect a good build path for various situation, let me explain further. If you load into a game with an enemy Poppy, Volibear, Fizz, Kalista, and Malphite this data is problematic. The people this data is grabbed from may not even play Varus in this situation, and if they did more than likely they have a support who will play a high synergy champ that makes it ok, you on the other hand probably will not have this. Secondly, Lethality in lane might be okay, but is probably the worst build for Varus here. You could go Hybrid/Full AP to make it hard for tanks to itemize, or you might go for on-hit as well. If you play lethality with comet primary you're probably gonna have a really bad time. Data is important, and wonderful to have, but just make sure you know how to contextualise it before you load up onto the rift! GLHF! [link] [comments] |
| Trouble extending lead as a support. Posted: 04 Jun 2020 03:35 PM PDT I recently just played a bard game at silver elo and we won most lanes really hard. Once the late game came we ended up losing the game mainly because of an extremely powerful garen. He lost his lane but still carried. We also had 4 of 5 dragons. How do I close out games earlier without just farming objectives, and how do I further extend my lead without falling behind. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:59 PM PDT Question how do high elo jungler keep up high farm and kp at the same time? My Situation: prioritise map pressure and objectives over farming. I hit diamond and want to keep on improving but 1 issue in my gameplay is low farm which means im losing out on xp and gold. I find it hard to farm when i see a gank opportunity or a counter gank opportunity, when i see a skirmish i alway come and help out, if i see the opponents tower being low i go that lane to help get the tower, focusing ojectives etc. By me doing all this how can improve on my farm becuase the way i see it, if i farm on the way to the play i might miss it or be too late so i go straight away. Ill give you an example of what i mean,I had a game where i was camping bot lane as trundle and got my ad 4 kills then reset with the bot lane. I told them i was going to come again to dive and get the turret but before i was going to do that i went to my top side to farm my camps because my bot lane camps were about to repawn and i was going to get them on the way to botlane, but as i was making my way there my botlane died and then the game snowballed into us losing the game. I feel like i need to babysit my lanes and in doing so have no time to farm. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 12:37 PM PDT Hello fellow players, I hope you are still healthy in these times. I am an OTP Fiora in low elo. I have problems with Juggernauts, such as Garen, Sett, Urgot and sometimes Nasus. I want to buy a new champion, which is good against this kind of champions. Are there things how I can easily counter them? For example, choose a Juggernaut yourself or go for a ranged like Quinn or Vayne ... I want to avoid teemo ... Any tips are welcome, and advice for champions. Tahm and Rumble are nice to me, but don't think they are good against Juggernauts ... [link] [comments] |
| Can someone explain Oracle Lens ward disabling please? Posted: 03 Jun 2020 08:30 PM PDT I feel like this isn't explained very well in-game or on any wikis. If I'm sweeping and I run over a ward, am visible to the enemy team at all? Or is it only when I start attacking the ward? And how long before that ward is working properly again after the sweeping ends, if I choose not to clear the ward? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 04:48 PM PDT My reasoning for asking: I was looking at the stats tab on the league client (most people probably don't even remember it being in the game) out of curiosity. I decided that for my main champion, Jax, I would compare my stats given by Riot to those listed for the average Challenger Jax player. According to the stats, I was the same or better than challenger Jaxs across everything aside from KP and vision score. Obviously, there are an infinite amount of factors that can and do influence the ability to increase or decrease stats from game time, matchups that are/aren't more common in higher elos, and skill of enemies, that determines the "success" of a player in a statistical sense like this. Obviously, I know there is no "These 5 easy steps made this man the most consistent man in the world, ranked players hate him!" kinda of list for tips/tricks to help someone become more consistent with their gameplay, though any tricks that anyone may have would be super appreciated. Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 06:52 AM PDT If I buy one piece of armor for +400HP And another piece of armor for +200hp doesn't this mean my total HP is +600? Or am I totally wrong here? I was under the assumption that all statistics in this game were additive with each other. If this is not the case can someone summarize any important information I need to know here?

| Understanding and playing other lanes. Posted: 04 Jun 2020 10:29 AM PDT I usually play bot lane. I want to learn more roles so I can get better understanding and play on other lanes. I am currently in gold 3 EUNE. also I don't really know what to do after laning phase or taking a tower in the bot lane. I get it that supports roam but what do I do on an adc? What champions do you suggest I should try? p.s If you get this reference nice: U N D E R S T A N D I N G B O T L A N E. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 10:07 AM PDT Basically I'm looking for SPECIFIC videos/guides that help teach me the macro skills required to improve. I've built up a decent champion pool and my micro is decent to reach diamond, but now I want to improve my macro to make the push to the top. Any resources/tips will be appreciated.

| Posted: 04 Jun 2020 08:50 AM PDT As a newer player, I like playing adc. There are 3 types of late game scenarios I come across that always seem like a 50/50, and I have no idea how to carry or impact those cases. Note: this is very late game, so usually 3 or 4 dragons for each side, elder spawning soon, second baron, etc. First, I'm playing a scaling glass cannon champ like jinx or mf. I take objectives fast and clear enemy waves very well, but it's hard for me to split push or make a move because I'm too squishy. Second scenario with same champions, but my team is winning. The thing is, similar to the first case, it is hard to push because of the enemy team's defense and objective taking power. Third, I am playing a utility champ like varus or ashe. This usually ends up pretty even, and the only thing that seems to work is hoping to get an ace then winning due to long respawning timers. We don't have as much dps due to the adc (me), but the utility let's us catch single targets out. Because of this, we can't hard push, but we can't just retreat altogether. If anyone could offer some advice as to how I can win these types of matches, I would really appreciate it. [link] [comments] |
| How to communicate with toxic pre-mades (or players in general)? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:42 PM PDT Might sound weird but the toxic pre-mades are my toxic pre-mades from discord. I really don't want to sound arrogant but I am much better than them in terms of kda and play style. It's really weird since I'm sure one of them has played longer than me and both play regularly while I often take long breaks. But I do know a major factor is their attitude. They are the "die to a gank and blame the jungler for it" type of people. Aka toxic. I don't know how to tell them, I've been the shy and silent type that just clicks on the game invite button without hesitating. I believe the only reason they invite me is because they feel bad or want a high level player on their team. I don't care about carrying, so I try to play support whenever I can to make them shine in the spotlight, but it's really hard to do so if they just type in chat and ping all day. Luckily most games are not like this, and we have a lot of fun together. Right now I'm just looking for a way to tell them to learn from mistakes without sounding superior or something, that never works. People would just flame and afk. Is there any way to tell them what to do without triggering their troll switch, or do I just have to play nice and quiet and hope we can still win? [link] [comments] |
| why is baron buff so important in pro play and how is it used effectively ? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 05:53 AM PDT hey everyone , i'n asking why is baron buff such a big deal in pro play its almost considered a gg when a team gets it and they're usually able to win a TF and close the game with it. whereas in solo Q its usually highly contested but i feel like teams don't get much out of it maybe a tower or two. thanks [link] [comments] |
| As jungle, do i gank my strongest teammates, or weakest? Posted: 04 Jun 2020 02:50 AM PDT I like to look at my teams winrates on their champions before the game starts, as well as the enemies. If we have a top laner who isnt the best and dies early etc. should i try to help them get their lane on track, or should i focus my laners who are already ahead to snowball their lead?
