The only place where I don't finish early 😔

[echologic]

I found that typing /ff 15 minutes into the game also helps

Hey Shok, I just want to say thank you for this guide. I took notes on the important points and I've been referencing them frequently. I can already feel the quality of my midgame improving hugely. Great guide!

[lol-gameplay]

Wow, this guide was sooo good! For me, the parts about pressuring 2 lanes wasnt new, but 4/1 splitting and which ones to do it one was! But the biggest takeaway was what to do when your team doesn't want to Baron, that was really helpful. Thanks Shok!

[willek]

The post Baron was really nice. I like that you go into depth, and break up things into understandable bits. +1

I feel like late game Hullbreaker changes the dynamic of the last part. Superminions have tons of hp and AD, but they severely lack resistances, which means enemies do true dmg. If you add 225 armour and 225 MR, that's suddenly stats equal to a really strong tank, not to mention Hull's 200% gold efficiency to the user. It's such a powerful combo, and I'm not sure what even counters it. Imagine if you slow push to the point you have two supers, that more than 16 000 gold worth of big minion resistances that the enemy have to deal with, or they'll lose structures. You don't even have to touch towers.

a guide that's not just an unedited cut of some streamers mediocre good game where they gave 3 tips over 40 minutes? hallelujah, sub for sure

[jamesk]

SUPER EXCITED just from the title alone. Your guides RULE, dude!

[danielbenedetti]

Thanks for your videos, I've gotten a lot better as a player because of them. You're the greatest.

[vansserafim]

This video came out right when I needed it the most. Losing games after consistently winning your lane is frustrating and confusing

[aemi_sa]

omg thank you shok i luv ur straight to the point videos (:

[maxx_xero]

This video is super informative!! However what I often see happening in solo q games in Plat elo is that someone will randomly decide to fight or engage on someone else on the map and then every player will rotate to that fight and whoever gets there first wins. It sorta feels like my mid game is often people just perma fighting. If my team is fighting mid should I still try to push out bot and get vision in bot jg for the next obj or should I try to help the fights? I would say I’m the type of player who shoves lanes a lot and most of my team mates and enemies prefer to aram and perma fight so i always feel like I’m missing out on these random ass fights. Any thoughts on this low elo phenomenon?

Hey Mr. Shok this is a fantastic video. I like your analytical way of thinking and your approach to the game. This is very helpfull for me to replicate what you teach in my games. I have a question regarding two things.
1.) When my team in SoloQ follows throught these steps, I realise we get objectives like dragon fairly uncontested. I usually look what my team does and reset or push with them. But especially when I reset with them and go push sidelanes afterwards. I always see my ADC, SUPP and JGL fight in mid against 4 or more members of the enemy team. What should I do? Just keep pushing or join them mid right away?
2.) Whenn I follow through your steps I kinda feel the same way: I push the wave, wait for them to show, get vision, push the wave again and before I can get deeper vision, suddenly my team gets engaged on in mid.
I am fairly uncertain on what to do in those situations... I see the fight, I do know I will not be there in time and therefore continue my push in the side lane, reseting before they can collapse on me.
I am not sure if I should just continue pushing side waves or group. Any help or comment is appreciated!
(I guess if you wanna boil it down: What do I do when I am going to push sidelanes and I see my team ARAM?/ posturing aggresively)

[shootnado]

I've been looking for this video my whole life

[alib]

Is there a concept in league that this man hasn't made a guide on? Absolute fucking legend

[elderjoker-]

Great video as always.
We are so lucky to have you 😊
Take care

[carmansunnyboi]

another amazing must click thumbnail this guy is amazing!

[davidgirardgonthier]

been having a rough time with that lately dragging all the enemy jungler attention towards me early on getting a decent lead and just end up getting behind paying too much attention to my teammates(swain main mid)

[kamilkollodi]

yes agree fully, but sadly people on low ranks, probably even emerald, go the same lane inhib is already taken, usually mid and make aram of it, which is bad and its throwing game most of the time, yes you dont need to take 3 inhins usually to win game, but winning with 1 inhib is risky unless youre super far ahead and even then not always, because enemy might have super good wave clear, if you cant dive double towers than its bad

[timospath]

man ur vids are fucking gold. Thx so much, i am sure ur channel will grow fast

[legacyslayz]

For the mid game steps…what if you are playing and assassin and running orc lens? will only have a pink for deep vision
