When you are behind build damage. That is a great tip. I've been building defensive when I'm behind. It make perfect sense when you say it. I feel so dumb. Thanks for the content

[gelius]

Me: "Oh, building defensive when ahead, like shieldbow right, that's smart"
Skillcapped: "Anathema's chains and Randuin's"

That's... far more hardcore than I expected, honestly

Poor Hector, someone give the guy a hug. Actually don’t, he shoulda known better than to play league when mentally distressed.

I LOVE this video. I've won so many games just by keeping calm and not tilting all the way. On the other hand i've lost alot of games that was winnable because i tilted, but when i realised we could have won if i didn't tilt, it was too late.

Can we all just look at that Ashe arrow for a second 12:15

[ViceFielder]

I think my winrate went up significantly ever since I started making use of /mute all, kept my head down and just played the situations as they came.

Also, I stopped trying so hard to win lane to focus more on safety and farming, though I still allow myself a few bad trades just to see if the opposing players will give me a Laning phase that shouldn't be mine to take.

In my first ranked game yesterday, I got disconnected at start and was up while everyone was lvl 4 (I'm ww jg, btw).

The comeback xp let me get to lvl 3 pretty fast, but enemies were abusing the fact I was so behind and taking my camps. I was around 0/4.

After a teamfight where I got a champion bounty (1000G), I could completely get back in the game and end with positive KDA.

The fact I was carried by a good Tristana helps a lot, but what surprised me was how I came from useless to useful by 1 mistake.

And there are so many games where I have to tell myself "it isn't over", "just because we are ahead, doesn't mean it is time to be soft and throw".

It was the one concept I'm really training and it is paying of. Just climbed from Silver4 0Pdl to Silver 3 18 Pdl with just one loss.

a fundamental that I learned duing my time playing and coaching competitive cs:go and also exists in chess is that in almost any game or sport the team who is BEHIND is the one who must be compelled to taking risks, and you should never get it the wrong way around. in cs:go if you find yourself in a round 2v4 as CTs, textbook methodical play will always go your opponents way so you need to introduce some randomness and aggression to have a percentage chance of winning. yet if you are the Ts in that situation 4v2, making offensive random plays just opens up the possibility of throwing. you have to methodically and calmly close out with your lead - being well aware that your opponent has to do some quirky play (and being ready to react to it).

it exists in high level chess - when chess grandmasters are behind in a game they basically know that playing slow and methodical is no longer an option, and the person who is ahead knows that they must play slow and methodical and prepare to react to their opponents desperate attempts to pull it back.

it exists in football/soccer. when a team plays against a better team - a team that on paper will simply outclass them and dominate posession of the ball, a good manager will never instruct them to play methodical, calm football. the onus is on the weaker team to introduce as much randomness as possible to the game and while they will expect to spend most their time on the defense, when they have the ball you willl see fast direct balls forward and desperate, uncalculated counter attacks, because that is literally the best way to win a losing matchup. of course, if the 'weaker' team ends up finding themselves up 1-0, all of a sudden the dynamic switches completely opposite.

it exists in warfare. the concept of guerilla warfare is relevant. up against greater numbers and technology, the weaker side knows they will be absolutely ran down in a 'fair' fight - and so they never play a fair fight if they can help it. the weaker side 's best choice is to introduce some randomness to the equation. vice versa the stronger side should be playing it clean, slow, careful. many military generals have made huge blunders of overestimating the fact that they are technically stronger on paper and assuming the don't need to be careful or overprepare so rushing operations, leaving vulnerabilities and overstretching their capabilities. blitzkrieg is a myth.

if you're already losing, coinflips are good bets to take - if you're already winning, don't get cocky, just take the sure thing, avoid coinflips like the plague even if you have to give up an objective for it

Who is naming all this mechanics and how much imagination do you guys have

[Undomaranel]

"...you die alone split pushing bot and there are 3 visible, giving your team an opportunity to group elsewhere." Now where do I get a team in low elo that knows how to do that?

[sethfleming]

I really enjoyed this style of content! I liked the logical insights with examples from real games/streamers. Nice writing:D

Also sad about Taco Bell

[q.c]

And here I was expecting an entire video on "Capt. Rubber Band" Yone himself.

[heidtb]

Okay, i would really like to get a high elo players perspective on that "if you're behind, build damage"

For adcs, i agree, because that is your role, bringing damage to the fight. But if you are a mage and you are behind, isn't it better to get a full Zhonyas instead of 2 Large Rods? Defensive items are usually cheaper and if you're behind, you probably have a harder time saving up for items like Rabadons

[kesuulol]

1:02 thats me with yone lmao i played kinda badly that situation but everyone has something to learn.

[BouncingTribbles]

That ad made me chuckle. My match history includes multiple zero death games where I got 10+ kills and I've climbed as much as I deserve for how many games I've played

[drg]

Number three implies that the team would actually take advantage of the openings instead of crying in chat about how bad everyone is

[murkthemeek]

Everytime I'm ahead I was unable to freeze the lane, it always slow pushed. Now I know why.

[GigaLigma]

Woah, a video about one of you guys actually doing BAD? That's a nice change of pace. Honestly it's a lot more useful too, since making frequent mistakes is something all players do at every elo and it's not very helpful to pretend like it just magically stops at high elo. Even smurfs have bad games, tilt, feed, can't help a really unlucky bad team, whatever. And it's really useful to see how the smurf plays in this situation, because it's the kind of situation where most of Skillcapped's content is just... honestly useless.

[bluehawkfire]

I like your point about chilling out and feeding on the mistakes that your opponent gives you.

Questions: Is this the same as allowing yourself to scale?
If so, what if you're against a team that is really good at scaling like vayne?
Sometimes I feel pressured to end fast because I don't want the scaling champs to catch up with the comeback mechanics. Thanks for the clarification!

[Lirakis]

"he was playing extremely poorly throughout this section" the dude was 5/1 then went 17/4 smh
