How To Win More League of Legends Games (No, Seriously)

Today, let's talk about tips for everyone who plays league of legends - regardless of skill or rank. This video should help nearly everyone aside from the very top of the line challenger players who already are professionals at the game. For a casual player who plays this game because they enjoy it, these tips will help you 1v9 in ranked, have a little more fun, and get some dubs. This video was written, produced, edited, and voiced by Kellen (Exil)

The best feeling about disabling all chat is when you end the game and you're getting 'Stayed Cool' honors from everyone. That's how you know someone was flaming the hell out of you but they were just talking to a brick wall

One thing that personally really helped me climb is learning to let others carry when they’re having a good game and I’m not. If I’m losing lane as Ahri for whatever reason but someone else is doing great, I can go Everfrost plus Ionian boots and act as setup or peel. Heck, going even while our adc is 4+/0, pivoting to a more setup/supportive playstyle might still be the right call. Of course, the goal is to win lane and carry, but learning how to help someone else carry when you can’t that game was a massive help.

This kind of approach is exactly what I want to see more of in League. As a longtime player, It's the saddest thing to see the community devolve into what it's become, when most players used to be so positive when I started playing back in 2012. Thank you for being a force of change for the better, you're awesome.

Exil, thank you for deciding to do this in the manner at which you do. I would be so much happier to engage with people if more approached this from the growth mindset and the desire to not be toxic and complain/flame rather than have a persona of enabling the worst inclinations in the community.

Was watching this video while playing a match, as soon as I hit the mental section my adc left lane because I went 2/3. I guess life does imitate art.

On topic of agency, worth adding - if you're not smurfing, playing a lower agency champion has an advantage: consistency. In Sivir example - sure, you can't 1v9, but you will always be able to waveclear, get through laning phase at a decent spot and scale to provide high value to the team. High agency champions often rely on snowball to win the game, being able to deny them snowball does a lot to help. No need to 1v9 if you can comfortably win a 5v5.

Thank you for the positivity! I’m sick of streamers flaming team mates and always yelling while playing. That is an attitude which greatly affects the major of the player base. I’m glad to see someone playing in a way I can reflect myself in and look up to. So thanks, you gained a new subscriber both here and on twitch :)

I respect the proclamation of chill (it is a game and if you don't enjoy it 95+% of the time, you're doing it wrong) and I respect the Dobby shout out. Man makes great content for finding out about the game.

P.S.: Flaming is tantamount to feeding. It takes your attention away from such a complex game and only serves to make your team mates play worse. Make your own proclamation of chill today.

As a player whos still new to league, this is so nice to hear

I feel so discouraged when I listen to other league content creators talk so harshly or negatively about “bad players” so this video really makes me happy

Thank you

[nelldanger]

I just started playing (only quickplay and draft) and people have been so incredibly mean in the chats... It's really cool to see that there's a lot of nice people in the community. Also, it's overwhelming trying to learn how to play and everyone is really good and just playing on new accounts. Everyone I play with is genuinely so frustrated with me.

[davidpavel]

Thank you Exil, this is exactly what the league community needs!

[BeatleHD]

Step 1: Uninstall league of legends and never play it again.

[Rhiusvell]

Gonna save this and try climbing next season! Genuinely needed this as I've kind of hit a slump because it felt hopeless... but if I keep up a good attitude and just try to play the best I can, I can climb. Together with the always learning and stuff.

[cakebirrd]

I really appreciate mindset and positivity focused videos like this bc getting into league the toxicity is insane like one mistake and people will flame so bad

[kitzuru]

This is definitely one of your best videos so far, great job as always, Exil, love your content!

[TraZix]

Exil, I haven't even finished the video but the "General Tips" section is so helpful. I would love a whole series on these fundamental tid bits. I've spent hundreds of hours in league and I didn't know about some of these. Thank you!

[victoriapschen]

The jungling tips in this vid somewhat go against playstyles like agurin (fullclear most of the time), or what ive learned in some other videos. like not sacrificing your own camps/tempo to help a laners wave, or always looking to do 3 camp ganking.

[TehNoobiness]

I think the most tilting thing, for me, is committing to a match that I feel like I have no control over. This is most prominent when I've lost early, and am struggling to keep up with the enemy team; I signed up to play an hour of League of Legends, not thirty minutes of League of Target Dummies or Shaco Jumpscare Simulator. I _already_ mostly just play norms with my friends, but because my preferred playstyle is very late-game and caster centric, I often find myself sitting there waiting for the game to end because an early mistake means I'm permanently unable to contest anything against the unkillable Main Character on the other team (who is invariably a ranged melee tanky DPS assassin mage tank-support jungle).

It feels like I'm being dragged along for 20-30 minutes of my life to be someone else's target practice. AFKing in spawn is unacceptable, but situations like this quickly snowball to a point where I consider my presence a net negative on teamfights because I cannot be in range to do damage and not die immediately. (It's a good thing I enjoy splitpushing, lmao.)

What do you even do in situations like this? All of the comeback mechanics I know of in League require you to be able to contest farm or objectives, neither of which are things I can do as a damage mage without damage or a control mage without teammates.

[liamswiggard]

I know this isn’t really an accomplishment, but using your tips, I managed to get out of iron. I’m still only bronze, but my friends who are silver can no longer make fun of me for being iron. So thanks. Hopefully I can continue to climb next season!

Love this video, you sound a lot like Coach Curtis and Nathan Mott. To anyone who wants to improve, I can only recommend the channels and the podcast of those 2. They are really incredible, doing extremely long and informative videos.
