7:50 Man I felt that play so much, hard-gapped the enemy's top, look down to see bot running 10 death and then the support somehow got the big shutdown
It's easy when teammates want to win Also. In ELO hell the hardest part is getting people to fight together. If your tank you absorb damage the ADC outputs damage you win. In ELO hell when the tanks absorbs damage the teammate recalls or runs as far from The fight as possible.
I like Darius but I don't like Darius players tbh, they talk too much more than playing and get annoyed when someone does small trades or plays safe because they can't do 5 stacks into R, high elo Darius players might be different idk.
Let's go! Shen & Darius are my favorite top laners. I'm excited for this series, ever since I started watching your videos now I know how I can make macro plays without TP :)
@2pacfan56 no but for real, when playing shen you will, most of the time, be behind in cs.. although this season with the reversed titanic hydra if you manage to win lane you can still be relevant in cs, or even the new MR sunfire is pretty good if you don't feel like rushing hydra (just my two cents)
@2pacfan56 last season I was playing Shen with ignite + ghost on midlane and it worked out great, some games I would even go ignite + exhaust or some bullshit and take the Sorcery rune that gives MS when using a summoner spell, it was pretty fun so you can definitely do the ghost ignite technology
i'm not a darius main, but if you ever want to kill a tank, you have to freeze the wave so you have more time to do so, but it's not worth it. look how Alois plays vs tanks - he always proxies them and acts like they're not here. as far as i know, darius is able to proxy, so this is probly the way to gain advantage in annoying matchups like this
i am just saying that kayle eating darius for example even if youre 2/0 or 3/0 she just turns 6 and without ghost or flash shes just tickling youre balls until youre dead xd @@ratyrat5in late game she just oneshots everyone darius is bad champ overall in last 3 patches
At first glance I thought you were saying a lot of bshet through your Shorts, because despite me studying the game for a while now you were saying basic things that I had never considered, the so-called fundamentals, putting them as stable priorities. Only after some endorsement by famous content creator I trust I decided to give you a chance. Now not only you're my sensei, you are filling my days while I'm at work or when I travel to University. You're my pal! Hope you read this. Sincerely, a believer ❤️
Yeah fundamentals are so surprisingly useful. Just learning things like level up timers, de syncing level ups etc has made me better than any character specific guide I've ever seen
@@L3tha1ity i play since season 5 i think, but despite me knowing basic facts like exp range, level up timer and wave management I never found a streamer who gave so much attention to all of these aspects of laning phase as priorities. I am 100% sure that every challanger player know all of these facts he talk about every game, but no one bothers underlining them in a nurturing and educational way like Alois does. Also I didn't mention how much he is an inspiration for me as he never blames people, never tilts and never trash talks as I often end up doing myself.
@@TheSaladin777 i believe grubs are good because they make sieging with baron faster and if you can get the first spawn then it allows you to take plates ridiculously fast, if you get the full first spawn its not hard to take a plate every time you crash a wave and with 6 you can take sidelane towers with 2 minions due to the things that spawn
@@TheSaladin777 if enemy jnglr take them, and u recall/die when minions about to hit ur tower, then enemy just take ALL plates no mater what champ is and what he builds, ur tower just gone and he get billion money from that
This is almost the exact same way I lost my ranked game a few days ago because my jhin and neeko decided to try and kill a tryndamere with ult instead of hitting the nexus, funny to see the same shit happening in higher elo
Sorry bro, this is bullshit. Darius is total useless. Every iron noob can counter him by picking Teemo. Literally no counterplay. If you would be honest and show games where you fight him alone without your teams help this would proof my point right away.
I feel your pain at the end man, so many games my team literally in the same situation but they refuse. its just nuts man. even in diamond people still can't tell when they've already won. its crazy that they just let those opportunities go and waste time.
Hey, little question about darius build. I was wondering isn't the hydra a viable option ? More so now that the active is back, to get an auto attack reset to stack the passive faster
@@enderdegeest2492 You can drop steraks and go for Titanic second if they don't have a lot of burst AND cc. But otherwise steraks is always 2. Then you go full tank/movespeed (DMP, FON, Randuin etc.). Building 3 bruiser items is really bad, cuz you're squish then
Super selfish play. Which I guess can be good advice? Really disappointing to see him not help at grubs, then feed himself on the next grubs. Lack of game awareness? Maybe a little too focused on top lane? Eh, what do I know.
I’m not good by any means but I don’t think I should be stuck in my Elo. What I’ve realized and learned from my diamond friends is that you can’t expect your team to know macro and be where they should. All you can do is be where you’re supposed to be and ping your team to help them understand where they should be (baron, drag, pushing side lane, etc.). If your team doesn’t respond and they’re grouping for a team fight push a lane if the gains outweigh the losses. If you aren’t going to make any gains try to group with your team for a team fight, win the fight and immediately spam ping your next move.
Just wanted to give a quick tip on Darius E, his hitbox is a triangle and can hit further away at an angle instead of straight on by enough to make a difference. Great video as always, love watching fund a mentos. 👌
Do you think Stridebreaker is a solid option for Darius now with the small changes to it? I like Trinity but I always felt it a little underwhelming when using it with him.
