5 Levels of Viktor Gameplay (Unranked To Challenger) 

I swear dude. I can't understand how somebody can be so good at league while being so handsome as well!! Those don't go together very often

I'm a top lane main, but your videos have helped me a ton on climbing. I gained around 500 lp mostly due to watching several of ur vids. Thanks so much for helping out the league community. It really annoys me when my friends believe that league is just talent based and act like they can never climb.

I haven't even watched this yet and I came to say thank you for this - trying to climb basically only with Viktor and so excited that you did this!!

Incredible stuff watching alot of your videos as i am having a hard time understanding the midlane im a bronze/silver player and i want to get better. watching the way you understand the game is so helpful. thank you for the videos you make i will try my best to apply them

Was so hyped when you said in my review that this video was coming out thanks for the content coach

Super insightful! Thanks a bunch!

okayyyyyy this is awesome! This is what i needed, as a viktor main.

Viktor and Ori are my two favorite champs and I love how much content you create for them

Hello Coach Curtis! Thank you for the great content. As always, I'm learning so much from your videos. With the help of your videos, I've been able to climb to plat 4 and I cannot thank you enough. In the future, would you ever consider remaking your guide on Lucian mid? I remember in your Lucian mid guide, you mentioned how one of Lucian's greatest strengths is his flexibility with items but ever since the item rework, I think a lot of Lucian's flexibility has been lost. Again, thank you for all the work you have done for the community

This is on of the most insightful League of Legends improvement videos I've seen. Definitely would appreciate a video like this but for a Jungle champion 😃.

Thank you coach. This really helps me on my play

Great video, very insightful thanks

Very interesting stuff, as always!

Thanks curtis been grinding Viktor good video ! I have notepad open time to take notes !

Nice! couldnt find a better time to post this specific video

why is it so much fun watching this, i dont even play victor or try to get into this champ, wish you cover more champs tho! great video as always

very underrated video this can be applied to climbing in other games

Such a strong champion. I really enjoy the amount of impact you have in the game as viktor with your huge range and your lazer which lets face it its unnavoidable there is little counterplay to viktor if you position properly you can finish games with 0-2 deaths

Very very good. These videos just speaks facts

16:25 That's a key takeaway for me personally, that's how I could easily hit Top 200 consistently in Battlerite, which is basically 100% Micro until the very highest levels of the game, at which point it is still around 80-90% Micro game) but couldn't reach any rank worth mentioning in League.

Hey coach, just wanted to thank you for getting me out of d4 to masters 300lp last season. I'll be coming back for the challenger grind soon and I'm sure I will succeed with your resources. Continue doing your job, you are awesome and we appreciate you a lot!

Crazy useful video

"Climbing is less about the quality of the plays you make and more about the quality of the mistakes you make" And thats why I watch this channel.

Love the videos Curtis. I have a question for anyone who can answer. This could be matchup dependent; is prio more important than tempo on Ekko? I’ve been taking futures market over biscuits since nerf and you don’t need dmats to one shot casters at 7. However, putting 2 dmats on melee allows you to one shot at lv 5 while still clearing casters at 7 with absolute focus and gathering storm.

Thanks for the good content you make Curtis. Do you plan to make an Akshan guide in the future?

Love this super interesting to watch! Would you agree Orianna has a very similar identity to Viktor in that shes a lane bully? I felt like a lot of the concepts applied to her as well quite easily.

Two videos in a week? Am I dreaming? Love you Curtis

Nice! I just got diamond a few weeks ago with mainly playing viktor :D

Great video ❤

Coach curtis you are great

perfect timing

Amazing guide, one for my boy sylas would be amazing

Hey coach curtis I have a question about settings: should I have auto attack enabled or disabled? Thanks

This video helped me a lot! (my current rank is p4-p2)

hamaji neo league video. really enjoyable content

What build and runes do you recommend for Viktor? I want to learn this champ to play soloq

When faster pace games, would u then go litch bane, grown? And slower pace liandrees cosmic?

Hi Curtis I've recently picked up Olaf and Irelia, I usually build Olaf very damage-heavy Shieldbow, Collector deaths oath lord Dominik and the last depends on what I need like IE, Thornmail, BotRK. I haven't ranked up yet but I'm slowly climbing and having great cs/objective damage compared to usual. My problem is understanding WHAT to do. Okay, I'm fed but do I take dragon baron/he3rald tp bot to down that tower? I really struggle to just figure out what to do If their jungle is dead I lean towards dragons/barons but otherwise I feel like I fall into this split-push tunnel vision. How do i practice because sometimes I review my matches and I know okay well I'm not supposed to be here but where SHOULD I be, even when reviewing I don't really know.

How do I improve upon my jungle tracking ability? Is the guide from season 11 still relevant enough for me to really relearn the basics of jungle tracking and then some?

much earlier this year i was pretty much only playing Viktor Mid, all inning on a burst identity with ludens, lich bane, electrocute, etc. after taking a break for a couple months now i'm back and it'll be interesting to see if i have to relearn how viktor plays fights and trades with a changed meta and rune/build setups, or if i can still play the way i was used to back at the beginning of the year (pre durability patch and etc. changes to the game since then)

How Do I acutally improve Past GM level? This is where I'm currently at and your videos usually end at around that Target (Well this one does for example). Is getting past this level something that requires a totally different way of coaching?

damn... 122k subscribers. that is amazing for one person to accomplish making educational league content

I really need this but with Ryze, Sylas and LeBlanc I need to recognize what sort of things I must learn along I climb the ladder, great video Coach, as always ur content is one of the best

Hi Curtis, thanks so much for this!! I'm Gold 3 on OCE currently and mainly playing Viktor right now, and don't think I know what to do /once/ I've got a lead. I think I'm pretty consistent at my level at pushing enemy out of lane, even solokilling them, getting early cs leads and using prio to rotate to early skirmishes and turn them in my favor. But after that I get lost. Should I stay mid and continue to exert pressure? Should I match my opponent sidelane? Move into the jungle? What if the enemy bot lane moves mid, often backed by the whole team and tries to threaten me? I feel like I lose a lot of early tempo because I'm so clueless and indecisive about what to do in the mid game to hold or even extend my lead. Is there another video where you answer this? In any case, thank you for all the content it's been so helpful!

I'm back after watching this, and going back to your s11 guide. Thank you so much for putting this amazing detailed content out! You've rekindled my excitement for grinding because you've opened my eyes to the details I need to work on (max-range E, W placement) and also totally changed how I think about my identity (I never thought of Viktor as a lane bully until you showed me how to do it). I had a quick question following up from the S11 guide: do you still like electrocute ludens lichbane? I've been running first strike and generally always going ludens shadowflame now, but curious if you would continue to lean into the lane bully setup with electro. A lot has changed since that video so I wanted to ask. Thanks in advance coach!

hey coach I'm trying to climb to gold from bronze/silver borderline and am going to take the game more seriously. I used to play these champions like irelia/akali which will nver cause me to improve, so I've switched to ahri and since switching I've been on a 9 game long winstreak with her. I want to expand my champion pool slightly further. Who is best to climbing? Should a champion be chosen which covers the weaknesses of ahri? For example should I make my second champion vex who does better into some of these dashing assassin champions that can do well against ahri? I am not sure who to choose out of the victor, orianna, vex, etc, especially with a mindset towards choosing the champion who will enable me to improve

Now we just need 5 levels of Kassadin gameplay (UNRANKED to CHALLENGER)

Love you

Babe wake up coach curtis just posted

Hey. Can I get your opinion regarding the fact that Pekin Woof said in his recent video that he is never actually thinking during the game, waves, and jungle tracking etc, never even did. He also said that he never reviewed his games. But he consistently reaches challenger anyway. Is that just cause he is an intuitive type of player? Or can you actually beat most players without going through the journey that midlane academy teaches? Or it's just talent

Just a quick question: Do you still like Electrocute on Viktor? Your old guide suggests it, but all the guides I see for this season suggest First Strike

I know you stopped playing TF after the E nerf but I'd love to see this format on Twister Fate.

I´m a giga hardstuck plat player for multiple seasons (started gold in s1). What´s the number one topic i should focus on to reach a higher base level?

Honest question: why don't luden + shadowflame?

I'm curious why you're not a fan of Ludens+Shadowflame? I had similar experiences but I'd like to know your reasoning

Would you say this video is also applicable to orianna? They dont feel much different

Hey coach Curtis, would love some content about how season 12 changes have impacted mid lane. Seems a lot of content you've published years ago could stand to have an update.

yeah this poked at me, im constantly dying to ganks bc im simply not that mindful abt ganking, and i get too far ahead of myself when zoning the enemy from xp

Can you make a video similar to this for sylas too, coach? I would really appreciate it

Viktor is the goat

Can you do 5 levels of Galio gamplay?

Oops! Coach, I think you meant "seamlessly" in the white text at the top, not seemlessly, unless you may have been thinking "seemingly"

How can i improve my matchup and wincon understanding?

i dont play viktor but im watching this video in hope it can give me a better understanding of the champion and what he wants to do so that i can play vs victor better because i always lose lane to him

Curtis can u do a Lissandra guide?

Can we get this same video with Cassio? Love the vid

this gank from karma was misplay for me cuz you could use r to silence karma to stop her chain cast

good video but you really need to fix having stuff like your watermark over chat when explaining communication between teammates and the text over items when explaining those items

Where can I find The damn fundamentals?

Could you do this exact video but for Vex please?!!

Thanks for the video ! Awesome job and concept. I would love to have the same for something a bit mor tricky : Akali.

This is exactly what I needed! Will you ever be doing an In-depth Yasuo or Yone guide! Your guides are the best. Would love to see a yasuo/yone guide from you !

I started this game in S6 and really only climb to gold and quit but this time I want to get to plat. I played Viktor after the nerf in s7 when no one played him and still got gold. Nowadays he's strong but I'm pretty bad with him for some reason. I don't die to ganks and I get cs and control my lane so it's near but not under my tower all the time but yet I still lose a lot. I shove it if the laner roams but I just get flamed by the team for not "following the roam". I ping 20 times mia but no one cares about it. I'm not blaming the team, I'm just wondering what do I do in these situations.

Liandrys cosmic ???? I’ve never seen this before i watch a lot of dopa / high soloQ EUW never seen it , Crown/ lich bane GL dealing dmg in TF ( except if u want to perma sidelane push )

Is there someone like Curtis for top lane mains ?

7:33 hi Nathan :)

I think there's also just simple tethering skill, look at Chovy playing, he's just going to dominate games from his mechanics alone sometimes. certainly it's important to learn this stuff, but that's kind of oversimplifying it.

Trying to last hit with 53 ad is not fun lol

12:13 Liandry + Cosmic Drive is SO GOOD, gives you so much CDR and self peel (Q shield + speed, W, consistent slow with 3rd evolution) which obviously translate great sustained damage. It's very useful if the enemy team has too many bruisers and tanks (wu, trundle, ornn, thresh, leona, etc) and you think you are going to be dived and chased in every teamfight. TBH I feel sometimes Liandry is the way to go every game, unless you REALLY need that Ludens + Lichbane burst.

DO IT WITH CASSIO

Anyone else miss the Item that only Viktor could buy?

im convinced no coach can get me to d1 or higher If any coach manages to id pay him 100€ deadass (im emerald 1)

Wtf i just wanted to search for guide

I am a gold Viktor It sucks

I used to think videos like this would help me climb. Then after losing to smurfs in my promo games I realised I would never climb and now just troll and int all my games, just like smurfs :D

do a guide agianst fiora . i feel disgusted each time i see this champ hit a q and get over 405 mobility . i want to puke .

I watched your video and it was interesting, but I don't understand why every1 on youtube who teaches ppl thinks that people in Bronze and Silver don't know the game or the champions basics and fundamentals. The thing is in low elo the game is much more TEAM DEPENDANT. I can be the best Viktor player ever if my TOP is AFK, my bot lane just fed the enemy adc. The jungler never comes to gank etc. So all the basics and fundamentals doesn't matter at all. we know it, but still losing games. I was hard stuck bronze till yesterday night since Season 10. I was extremely lucky and I had 10 wins out of 11 games so I could finally get to Silver 4. I was playing good too, 3 times MVP and I got 2 S as well. I play Viktor mid / Nautilus support. And I don't know how I can climb higher right now, although I know that on my Viktor and my Nautilus I should be on Gold /Plat lvl. But it seems impossible due to the fact I just explained.

you coach for free curtis ?

this is just a load of waffling if you need to watch this to try get good you should just give up

I'm not rich but yesterday I donated my iPhone, watch and wallet to a homeless guy. You can't imagine the happiness that I felt as I saw him putting the knife back in his pocket. 😊🥰 KINDNESS IS EVERYTHING!❤️ HOBOMAN🌐🐒
