CHALLENGER - ADC Wave Management, Freezing, Harassing & Utilizing Range Advantage - Laning Analysis 

It's hard to believe that this is what goes through qt mind everygame

We hope that you enjoyed this video! While this video is marksman specific, there's a lot of things you can apply to other roles, like using range advantage to your advantage, or the power of wave management. Here's what the rest of the week looks like for SkillCapped's LoL uploads: Tomorrow we're unveiling our very first RU-vid video series - it'll be all about the psychology of being a good player, and a must watch for anyone trying to improve (especially if you have trouble with tilting like I did!) We'll round out the week with one more guide on Friday, but you'll have to wait to find out what that will be ;) Lastly, we want to bring some video attention to roles we haven't covered yet. We want to cover a Top Laner that everyone is loving right now. Put your suggestions in a reply below! C9's new hot shot Licorice, maybe? :P

It is indeed good wave management to have the wave pushed to your tower when you want a gank or when you want to avoid a gank, but she did it unintentionally. She focused too heavily on poking instead of leveling up to 2; also, she poked without the assistance of her support by standing on opposite sides of the lane, which allowed the return damage by the creeps and Fiddlesticks. She was forced to concede level 2 and was shoved as a result. Any poke lane in the early match up want to shove because there is no way for the enemy to return poke damage as they are heavily fixated on CS. The Varus was wrong here for not using his mana to shove the wave to the tower to attempt to reset the wave, which would have potentially prevented the Rammus gank. The Varus' greatest individual mistake was standing in open space while trying to CS without his support, costing him over 1/2 of his remaining HP. Additionally, you know that this is low ELO because Varus and Fiddlestick did not remember that Rammus had most likely started red due to the initial cheese play made by Caitlyn and Karma. When any laner shoves, they have the freedom to ward. As a range duo bot, it is imperative that you ward the river and pop the blast cone because you are unable to ward multiple angles. Ridding of the blast cones allow you to use your ward for river and tri-brush. Your analysis was done as an attempt to fill in details rather than identifying the real strengths and weaknesses that allowed this play to come to fruition. The only thing I agree with you on are the goals of a laner: effective wave control, poking when the enemy is going for a creep. This guide doesn't help anyone if they do not possess the auto attack range. You should have definitely done it with a low ranged ADC to show how this is achievable without the proper kit. If you are able to apply these tactics to low ranged ADCs, you are likely to be even more effective with more range and poke.

Can u release same concept on low range adc pls :)

Wow amazing guide, really easy to follow through. Most guides are really long and quite boring and I usually skip some bits but this is exceptional. A channel worth subscribing. Thank You

Wave Management is really complex would appreciate deep analysis, I learned a lot from this though thanks for the great content keep it up!

"You're not expected to be able to land her ass on every minion." I swear that's what i heard at 6:18

This is a great video dude! This just proves my theory as a main adc, i can tell that positioning is the most important skill one should master. Even tho farming, killing and all else are important. You can accomplish all of those just by positioning well. In the long run you get better at those things. I was a platinum player but then i stopped playing at S4. Just coming back to try a rush to diamond (my old dream) but i'm not sure if i'm still capable of such effort bc of time investment.

I love these videos, and this one in particular was very helpful. I would like to see some similar breakdowns for how ADCs can win teamfights, because these dailys always focus on lane phase. I've gotten much better at laning from watching these videos, but now my teamfighting is what is holding me back. Keep up the good work!

all of this has nonsense if your support is yasuo ❤

As someone whose hard stuck in Plat, these are killer tips. Thank you so much, definitely subscribing.

Very useful with great analysis and information! I really like these guides a lot, keep them up!

i love this channel so much i've been climbing with jinx like a rocket

this video is so well done that i think ill get so much better just watching your videos

I have some additional tips on caitlyn: She can hide her traps along the enemy minions giving her another advantage against the enemy who didn't anticipate that kind of trap placement.

So any time someone ask you how to play adc send this and let them adapt

Bring more videos like this, ima ad main and i need more infos about how to behave at lane and wave control, thx for the video

Thats what i asked for, ty So much

Very advanced guide! great work!

Nice Guide, this channel is underrated

keep making videos please these are super helpful and i feel im learning a lot

"Hey, ADC-Sauce here"

a video about deep analysis of what is happening ingame. 👌👍👍👍

Plat elo, jung rammus no items early ._. 1:10

i have a question why do you have bring minion like this to freeze? freezing isnt just last hitting minions? 1:37

Very informative video.. about to apply these techniques to my future games...much love from the Bahamas

3:13 this option she took to go in brush is terrible because if Fiddle went down together with his adc, it's likely all 4 bounces would hit cait/karma unless one of them chose to be trapped alone behind enemy minions (basically die or flash).

Hey great video guys ^^ Thank you for the good advices! But could you make a video about how to win a lane with a disadvantage? Like could you show how a vayne has to play in order to win vs a lane bully vs miss fortune?

Loving these new videos. So very helpful, thank you

I noted that your Portuguese subs aren’t all correct. Did you need a help with that? I’m from Brazil. Great video!

Holy hit, these videos are really good, support

Question: was it a good choice to put her 3rd skill point into her Q at lvl 3?

the college of LEAGUE OF LEGENDS gameplay.

but what do we do if we are on the varus side and somebody does that to us?

How do you make the circle that shows your adc range? I never know how far i can go

This is some high quality stuff- (subbed) Keep em coming!

Whoa.. they should include this in the bible.. very informative.. outstanding presentation. I am sold and subbed

Very informational! As an adc main this is good shit to help me

I’m a plat support, but I think most things you talked about are obvious, what level of players benefit from this? And I also think the supports in this video did not have any impact tbh.

Also, i know what could be the resources that you can get besides the fast push hitting quickly the minions (like after doing it, go to put deep wards, that helps more in scrims btw. but you don't necessarily have to do it, if the enemy jg started at red side like in this video) but it should be good if you guys can clear out the next time and make more insight in that strategy, because there are a lot of people that actually do it, and they don't know why they do that, maybe for instinct.

What should I do when my support does never let me freeze or manage the wave no matter what I do? It usually goes well when I'm top lane, but I can't do that on bot side as my support starts to hit minion and break the freeze. P.S: I'm silver with low mechanics, mediocre knowledge.

This is absolutely amazing, thank you so much!!

I have concepts for a gameplan before the game too actually: Feed my ass off and always blame the jungler. Works everytime

Can you do a counterpart? Like, what to do as varus in this matchup

Your videos are amazing and really helpful keep it up👍

Can we have a guide for kiting as an adc on teamfights?

When the lane looks so easily gankable by the enemy jungler, any jungler with IQ above 0 would go help bot lane either push the wave to the turret or hover bot to match the rammus gank. These scenarios are very specific but as far as wave management goes it's right.

exactly what i needed

Thanks! And because of this tip, i can easily climb to Diamond and ill keep that tip in mind. Thanks a lot!

Even though I didnt understand anything cause im a filthy bronze, imma give it a like and sub

Just love the intro song

Could you analyze a video where both enemy botlaners know what they should be doing. Pretty much an equal matchup

Xayah and rakan could go for harras too they have an amazing combo wish could get them the first blood pretty easily with their W

This is helpful, Thumbs Up :) Great work men

Loved it. Keep it up and i want more!!

Why does he use the A key to aa, instead of just basic mouse clicks?

Great Video!! Everything is so clean, I can completely understand it if I have a better English level, I'm Taiwanese by the way.

04:38 How he can auto attack to you? Your range longer then him but he hit you at the same time.

what if im the varus what i can do to stop caitlyn from winning the lane ?

more adc videos pls

do the similar video with vayne now

I will master these techniques and become a challenger 😀😀😀 thank u

To be fair, if Fiddle came around WITH Varus that cheese would have been an awful idea, as they set themselves up to be decimated by a crow bouncing between two of them...

Very nice video dude, appreciate it!

Great analysis

Definitly subbed :D keep it up

This is pretty informative!

Why pick a marksman with an above average auto attack range to showcase proper laning

The beginning doesn't work in lower elo because junglers always start at blue & need a leash rather than start at raptors like they should.

Nice! Appreciate the video. It's really helped ^^

But what if my support sits behind me and does nothing but be toxic in chat? :(

Any low range adc vs caitlyin and range sup has to start with doran shield and varus needed to lvl up e first so he can trade with cait

tips for mid pls

I enjoyed this very much ty

I always have trouble auto attacking and canceling aa.

Yeah, that varus played pretty well, if i was him i would have be so pissed at fiddle, he costed them the lane lvl 1 letting caitzone varus for free and

Please do more adc and support. :)

I freeze many times waves but gold junglers never gank before 10min

How do you see max range of auto attack?

amazing video, subbed

XD she could also harass by using her W ability treating the traps as a way of threatening the apposing enemy. Well that’s what I do anyways, is that a good thing?

can please someone explain to me how exactly to freeze?

my biggest issue is, when i try to freee and my support decides to thin and push. I ask them nicely and they just dont give any fcks

8:48 did you mean adaptation?

why would cait freeze near their turrent ? :o

why did the varus start W?

Nice video thanks ❤

Holy shiit im a plat player and learned so much from this

its great to know that people can forget to buy items even in challenger ELO. check out rammus at 1:11.

242 how do you guarantee a hit on a skillshot? this site is bs

toplane guide pls!

I'm actually pretty good at the dance, however my cs is so bad it sort of makes my strength moot

It still depends on the jungler.

u are talking about how to make them vulnerable to ganks but in silver there is no such think jungle either ganks

Great Video! But surely a challenger player was a bit overkill for this kind of content. These are VERY VERY basic things. I would much more appreciate a video with two adcs with equal range and equal supports.

I really want to play Cait but she doesnt scale as good as other adcs

im an adc main, and climbed from plat 5 to diamond 1 using draven in +-30 games. honestly this kind of analysis is useless because in real game u dont have the time to think this indepth, what u need to do to play adc is just to play aggro and to have presence in lane. thats basically sums it all up. alpha the fuck up ppl

I unsub'd awhile ago because you guys stopped making content. I may have to go check it back out.

Full AD comp tho, if this is challenger, i dont think they should win vs cho/gnar comp

when was this game? biscuit pot? oO
