I think you forgot the most important part right at the end.
1. Nidalee staying mid means Sylas loses exp anyway, so you get 6 faster. As TF this is super important because if you fall behind him in level he probably can get 1 free ult off.
2. Right at the end, he walks back up to the lane and demats a cannon. This is because Nid left a freeze there for Sylas, and if he didn't break it before Sylas returned he would have lost every advantage he built up. Normally with TF you use your demats on ranged minions so that you can clear them with just your Q but in this case he had to get rid of it so that his cannon could hardpush to tower.

Dopa's Formula to Winning Lane vs Counter Picks!

Dopa: *lol just git good lmao*

[Jodenfully]

At 4:45 you see dopa bodyblocking the cannon minion, which helps with the feeeze. Small trick high elo players use

When you think youre making progress and then get all 3 missions wrong FeelsBadMan

[tanvirkhan]

Thanks for this video. This is going to help out a lot. Improved so much in the last few months just by following the guides . love to all the members working for skill capped

[blagovestrangelov]

This is like Dora the Explorer for League players. What do you do? Should we Freeze the lane?

[nathancraig]

I always know all the strategy and get all the missions but then I get to my games and just forget it all lmao bronze life

5:04 That's not a freeze. It's Dopa's lane slow pushing. It's mirrored minions on his side of the lane.

[lmvx]

4:50 Wrong, that wave is slowpushing. He couldn't keep the freeze with 2.5 minions even if he tanked. Unless he pulls them upward, which he can't do as long as Sylas is standing in lane.

[bellatorlegend]

4:20 I think u got wrong there, he didn t block minions before the tower, so the lane is going to slowpush as we can see ( just here, sylas pushed the wave again ) but there isn t freezing anymore, so i think u get wrong there.

[petterhemnes]

4:21 question or answer is wrong. The lane is no longer frozen, it is slow-pushing towards Sylas. If he wanted to freeze he wouldve had to tank those minions. Sure, the next wave end up in the freeze sweet spot. But the lane is not frozen there.

Any support guides coming? I searched your channel but I couldn't find any.

5:14 if the Sylas doesn't auto the minion and shove after, the wave would be slow pushing into Sylas now, wouldn't it?

By not tanking the minions and letting them crash under turret his wave will start a slow push, as the waves arrive earlier and therefore push towards the other side, even if the amount of minions is equal. You can see that Dopa has an extra melee minion alive at 5:14. The only way this freezes is if the red side minions aggro the cannon down significantly before the red side one dies, or as seen here, if Sylas actually starts shoving the wave.

I get that Sylas wants to shove the wave in, and therefore breaks the slow push before it starts building up. But technically it's going to slowly push towards red side there, and not freeze. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[schmommy]

04:46 Doesn't that also mean that the wave is going to slow push towards sylas? If Sylas would play correctly here he could zone TF from all the cs until the wave crashes or is pushing back because of minion aggro while holding im away or am I wrong? When I'm playing against counter matchups who can all in easily im always super afraid of my minion wave slowpushing towards the enemy.

[MrLucajorgensen]

I actually realized something today. I got them all right. Even the little thing with that he should still look for harass.

But I realized that I myself would normally slowpush because I didn’t think freeze was an option.

I’ll try this out if I’m up against someone with good all in when I’m playing ranged.

Thanks

[regem]

I’m confused - so sylas will naturally push because waveclear is his strength?

So is the right choice for sylas not to fall for this trap and to try and freeze himself?

why isn’t it that one champion’s missions will be more rewarding than the other, thus that player should instead deny the mission instead of going along?

[MagdalenaSlay]

When i first started watching your guides, i had no idea what to think and how to think when playing. Now i feel that these things come naturally to me when playing :P

[mateovlr]

If I want to go through these missions for myself in a game, what are the qualities I should look for to see which choices to make?

[luckyfox]
