"2 minutes is a long time where everyone on your team can int" Those are the true words that need to be remembered!

I think trying out other role is very important to supplement your main role. The thing he points out about sona not helping cs; Sona is probably a support main that never played adc to understand the concept. I main adc but I would have a smurf in low plat/ gold where I play top/jg. It really helped me understand how to manage waves and predict jungle pathing early on.

Skill Capped: I diagnose you with incorrect lane mechanics

[guitarecouture]

The thing I noticed about lvl2 advantage is that very often my ADC doesnt know about it so even if we get lvl2 first my ADC will not be in an agressive position so I just end up being 1v2 and cant do anything

"You don't want to rely on your enemies to be bad to win lane"
Also "Don't worry, this will always work because your enemies are bad"

As a bronze myself I must say from all your Videos I‘ve seen in the last few days the best tip to recall instead of tryharding for platings. Very helpful Videos, thank you

As someone who played in seasons 1-4 and just got back into it the amount of small things pros have worked out for minuscule advantages is crazy it used to be just last hitting being the most important

6:00 tf am i supposed to do when my adc says "if u touch a minion am going afk" ? this happens all the time

[nic.h]

7:05 Helping last hit. If Sona was to use her q her she would have got that minion into a health level where the adc could have auto'd it, but her q would have tagged the next closest minion (caster) meaning it would now die to a single tower shot. In general I'd argue it's best to leave the adc to deal with the crashing wave, they know the rythem and doing anything tends to just screw that up for them. At the least don't touch full health minions as doing so is just going to make them miss the farm

"If you're not winning lane, you can't ever expect to gain LP."

I used to. Before season 9, losing lane then winning the game was what I was known for in solo queue.

[modest]

3:40 in a situation like this, small tip: you only need 1 auto to get credit for a plate if the minions get it. So with trist you can auto and jump away to recall, losing only a few seconds for 180g

This video answered so many of my questions and pointed stuff out to me that was obvious but I didn't realize it. I feel like this video clicked with me in a way that a lot of the other videos on this channel haven't.

[rohan]

05:42 isnt it better to slowpush here? We see the next wave just spawned, so if we hardpush it will at most guarantee a neutral wave state (instead of a slowpush back into us). Also we see Fiddle bot and Noc showed top so we know we are in a 3v2 situation and could potentially dive on a big wave. Even if we don't dive here the tempo we get from crashing two waves and the lane control we gain from having the minion advantage is a lot better than if we were to just crash this wave asap.
Not trying to justify soraka gameplay here since to make use of a slowpush she would still have to position more aggressively instead of just sitting back. I am just wondering if a slowpush is smarter here

[jaobidan]

In raka's defense, she was standing still thinking cait was going to freeze the wave which would've been the best thing to do as it would've allowed them to gain an exp advantage and tighten the gold gap. It also could've set up a potential jg gank that could've guaranteed lane dominance in their favor. I think calling raka useless in that particular instance was wrong...Other than that? Good stuff.

[TheRaphidou]

I rarely comment but always watch your videos and I always recommend them to English speakers because it's just that good!
I can't afford to spend money on lol to get better but your videos are making me better for free !
I truly suggest to get to skill capped if you can offer it. It's such a huge high-quality content!

Plus two more things in that first clip, Sona is up against Soraka, which means that any trade she would attempt there would very likely end in Chiquita girl's favor thanks to the way their Q starts differ. Soraka recovers health and slows enemies by landing hers, and Sona is in prime territory to be punished for positioning entirely wrong. On top of that, an inexperienced Sona player would be very likely to miss one of the enemy laners with her Q, having the second bolt go for a minion. In that position, she would steal CS from her ADC and probably die horribly from Caitlyn and Soraka focusing her.

That's such a free kill that I don't believe this player has ever gone support before.
Edit: High ELO? I am the ultra scrublord level support and I still consider that a free hit. The only sad thing about that trade was the whiffed Soraka Q, she obviously expected Sona to continue and try to greed all the way into AA range.
Further Edit: Or not, I guess the enemy Soraka is even worse at playing support than I am...

[Yuri-qrml]

I still watch this stuff if there is things that I miss, but honestly try to find a player up to low diamond that would freeze wave as ADC. It's rare, both in EUW, EUNE, LAN and NA, played all those regions and you barely see it happen

[coolbrotherf]

I wish I could make all my random supports watch this video. I was fortunate enough learn a lot of this stuff early from a Skillcapped coach, but there are still way too many people who don't even know the basics of wave management and only play for kills. Kills are good for gold, but don't really get you much XP so getting a kill but having to base with a bad lane state isn't worth the kill if you end up missing like 2 or 3 minion waves.

[krzycki]

League is like chess, but far more complicated and complex, but one think didn't changed at all, you need to think ahead your opponent

[basadake]

07:14 in low elo your adc won't understand and accept your help, and goes int, afk after he misses a few last hits on minions which was hit by you.
