Life/Career/Channel Update - New Directions

I'm going back to old ways, to return to being a high MMR edu content creator. I'll be having two days of public coaching available on my stream each week (days tbd). I will be VOD reviewing every major regions games live on stream, and inviting guests to join occasionally. I'll also be VOD reviewing pro player VODs ( Apdo, Faker, Khan, etc) I'll make guides occasionally, and I'll be playing SoloQ a lot again. I understand all of these things are going to come with great sacrifice, so thanks to everyone who has supported me up until now and if you continue to support me in the future. The comedy/roast side of my persona isn't something I want to be known for, I have so much more to offer and I hate when people only see one side of the spectrum.

Phew! Was afraid you were going to quit! Really excited for these changes, i like when there a schedule and it’s structured, it will definitely up the quality of your streams. Also hoping i’ll be able to get coaching in the future. Really happy for you Nick, and i will always support you!

[NeosRS]

Personally, I'm glad you're going back to your old ways. I enjoy the educational content & look forward to seeing more coaching sessions.

[shai]

LS I'm proud of you being real with the fans. Many of LoL YouTubers try just to make comedy and not be real with some really educational content, you on the other hand do.
So I wish you luck and I'm glad you are doing what you truly like and I support you greatly for that.

[adolecsent]

So happy about this, LS. Knowing you'll get back to what I subbed for deepely reassures me.
Unfortunate we won't see the womanizer anymore, though.

Honestly i started watching your youtube channel because the coaching sessions and the VOD reviews, i tried watching your stream a couple of times but it was so different (and i have never been a very active twitch user) so that turned me away, now i will try it again and see how it goes!

Also, as a side history, i was a "pro player" in the very early stages of the competitive scene in my region (LaS) and then had to quit to go to college, but still played the game kinda regularly, still challenger but never at the level i knew i could reach, but this year the uLoL was brought into the region so i saw it as the perfect chance to improve and thats when i probably watched hours and hours of your content, and i think that my game knowledge is better than ever (my mechanics keep lacking because i dont play enough) and its all thanks to the incredibly in depth content that you make, so every time someone asks me how they can get better at the game i send them to you, i hope with your new aproach you can give us more of that sweet sweet K N O W L E D G E

Hi LS!
Honestly, I kinda lost my interest in your stream when you started the whole roasting thing...
I started watching you cause of your educational, intelligent content and VODs. I'm glad you going back that direction!
Keep up the good work and enlighten us, low elo scrubs! :)

[garthvater]

Look, its very simple. make the content that you enjoy. it will be better, you will be happier, and your viewers who enjoy that will stay. the other viewers that dont will leave, but that is fine, because there will always be more people who will enjoy what you enjoy making. pewdiepie made a video about this very recently, you should watch it if you have not already, and you should have no regrets with the direction you want to take.

And tbh, i will be happy to watch the content you make that makes you happy. simple. <3

[brockolesss]

This is awesome! I'm hot garbage and have always looked to you when it comes to learning about the game. This, for me, will not turn me away. People who want to genuinely learn and get better will enjoy your stream and YouTube channel more. I love the direction you're taking this. Thank you for always being a great source of knowledge.

Bad suggestion: invite low ranked players(who think they’re good) to your vod reviews along side high ranks and ask the low ranks what there thoughts are first, to actively showcase the difference in thought processes between high and low skilled players?

[Pedro-qlpq]

I can definetely say that I learnt a LOT from old coaching sessions you did with random players (regardless of elo there was always good info on every video) and I look forward to seeing that again. I watched almost all your "Coaching X champion in Y lane in W elo" because you'd teach things like when to let mid push into you depending on the matchup, when to push lane and roam, how to control the wave, how to position in lane, etc. All of that helped me a lot and I agree that lately your content hasn't been up to that (old - Season4/5) standard and I'd love to have it back. Even newer coaching sessions didn't feel very educative, coaching trick2g etc is cool and fun to watch, but not particularly educative to players like myself who really enjoy the theorical side of the game, which you have so much valuable and rich information to share (and is willing to share, which I can only thank you for).

Can't say I agree with everything you say and do, you are who you are and that's what's made you into the LS we know now and you shouldn't change, only improve. Looking forward to your new stuff!

[Chunkers]

Totally respect the choice to move towards doing what you love. I watched every coaching session of yours on YouTube that was relevant to my champs and roles, and improved my play a ton thanks to you. Love your content and excited for the future of your brand!

[bloodytea]

Also really glad to see you going back to a focus on using your knowledge and understanding of the game to stream, even if the way you got to it, may not be the best. Always considered you something of a gaming savant with a great sense of humor. I only hope this means the return of obscure metaphors :)

[wonshieklim]

i am actually really glad you are changing this way!!! I was really waiting for your vod reviews I always learn so much THANK YOU LS

[Dencalin]

Honestly, it takes a very rare skill to do what you do in terms of analysis, and not really much skill at all to roast randoms. Really glad to see that you're doing what you're good at - the community needs serious content like yours, and it's even better that it's what you want to do.

[beyondtheline]

I only found you recently and you changed my whole perspective on the game. I no longer afk play but instead I take every game as a learning tool. I’m no longer afraid to lose games. You made me realise that I’m fucking terrible and my fundamentals are completely fucked. I’m now going back and re-learning the game from the beginning and it’s made me so excited to just play and improve. I don’t see you for the memes but instead I watch you specifically for the educational content that challenged my understanding and beliefs and helped me take the first real step towards being better. I’m so glad your going to continue the educational content. Best of luck. You have my support!

[madik_]

This is good, I think a lot of people want to learn more in depth information on high mmr players/games. Will be able to take a lot more coming out of it 4 sure

[Alempij]

I followed you back then because you were one of the best analyst and actually helped me improve my play in soloq ALOT. I was always sad that you later changed your stream mostly into entertainment and comedy so I am super hyped now that we can have the old LS back!

[Mershdd]

You do you bro, thanks for the advice you make public

[acsu]

Extremely happy to hear you are moving in this direction! I love your pro vod reviews, and also excited for all 3 regions. Hope this helps you personally to work out for you, and hoping the best for your brand and content too!

[ronancurtis]

Really happy you're changing it up and not continuing to bring yourself down. It's so easy to stick to what we know, but when what we know isn't what makes us happy then it's important to change what we know. Thank you for all you taught me about not just league but how much depth a game can have and how exciting it can be to talk about it.
