Hector's 5 Low Elo Mistakes to AVOID for EVERY Role! (Must Watch!)

After being tortured by Skill Capped, Hector is now representing Low Elo

The top lane flowchart dictates that when you die you're supposed to flame your jungler.

0:35 - Midlane 3:54 - Jungle 7:52 - Toplane 11:06 - Adc 13:00 - Support

As an argentinian, i don't recommend you being here. Trust me, it's better to stay in the middle of the fray.

Poor Timmy he's just relaxing after working 8hs and enjoying his 1h gaming.

Not only do I think Hector's guides are some of the best, he like's to prove there are best ways to outplay your opponents other than being mechanically superior to them, so it's always a reason of joy looking at a guide's title and watching Hectors name on it, that being said: we're still waiting for the Hector challenge where he has to smurf in low elo blind flolded while a rabid squirrel it's trying to gain access to his underwear and the only way to avoid it it's to win lane under 30 secs before minions spawn playing teemo top with only a teamat.

If you’re having a hard time with #3, here’s a weird tip: Play incredibly dumb off-meta picks, like bard, thresh, or braum, in top lane. The novelty and inherent humor of playing such a dumb pick will massively help you not get bored, while they’ll almost certainly get impatient that this guy they CLEARLY should be beating (who tf thinks Braum top will work?) has managed to not die yet, and will start making dumb plays you can exploit.

Hector is that type of dad that has to suffer a lot yet he knows it's for the better of everybody else Hector is best boy

14:00. Being literally argentine this is a lot funnier than it has any right to be.

As a toplaner I can confirm this point, but it's often not due to boredness but because you feel like you should "win this lane" and in most people's eyes this means: you must get kills. Especially against lategame champs you can feel like you're on a clock so you have to make a move, leading to bad plays and an avenue for the opponent to shut you down and ge accelerated.

hector is the best one who makes guides in skill capped lol he is so funny and really helped me to learn macro so ez even though i used to climb by outplaying my opponents :) i missed hector chalnges about playing without a mouse and feeding lol i want to see his react sometime when they tell him about a chalenge or even post a lost challenge

Meanwhile me playing support in actual Argentina: why do I keep dying I thought this was perfect positioning

He said it! He said Argentina! WE DO EXIST JAJAJAJ

15:23 The Mobility-boot-part is quite eye-opening. As a low-elo-support myself I always personally found swiftys way better on almost anything, but got peer-pressured into not buying them. Gotta start buying them again now.

As a support main, I feel like my junglers don’t take advantage of the deep wards I provide. It’s information on the enemy jungler, use it!!

I'm playing low elo and being constantly flamed for staying in mid lane punishing the perma roamers. The part on adcs is 100% true but same goes for supports playing aggressively 24/7 not letting you farm and flaming u for not picking every suicide mission they create.

I know a lot of players think that if all five players push a single lane that everyone should run to lane to defend but all you have to do is make a strategic withdraw . Let the other lanes get ahead in CS and the jungle invades farming enemy's jungle . After that tower goes down , four of your team should be ahead on CS with yourself still equal to your opponent because everyone else on his team was taking his CS.

1. Roams, as a jungle main this is absolutely killing me. People leave lane, not knowing how or when to roam, or roaming badly and abandoning lanes. It is pretty much impossible to jungle when every lane does this. They all think they are pros and what they are doing is offering no pressure or priority losing out on XP and gold. I cant do drakes or gank as easily with no priority. The irony is they almost never collapse on enemy jungle near scuttle for example, but will walk all over the map or in jungle for no reason. As RIOT tries to fix all the mobility, hopefully it chills out some. because you combine that with hyper mobile jungles like Hecarim or Lillith and its GG. As far as bot lane supports and adc have no idea wave control. even people like your support tapping minions prematurely advancing the lane state. And I see so many people not register that plates, pay you gold... no one goes for plates.

Thank you so much, I realized that I was never bored/found top lane boring as a top laner so I realized that it's my fault that I can't climb, started being bored and won through enemy inting into me

For the support stuff, I will say that, while playing back and safe is great in the mid and late game, in the early game, you need to have more aggressive positioning. Not only is it going to help you stack your gold item faster, it'll also make it so the lane isn't a 2v1 for your ADC. If the wave is in the center of the lane and my support is sitting in the tower, I have to also sit in the tower or I risk dying, because I don't care if you can throw your Ebb and Flow on me from that range and have it bounce onto an enemy, you're still not contributing anything valuable to the lane. Supports need to be willing to take a little bit of risk and a little bit of damage in the early game so that all of it isn't going directly onto their carry. It's part of the reason why laning with a Yuumi who refuses to detach is so infuriating. The carry is the only one taking damage, and she doesn't have the healing early to counteract it.

Please make this guide for roaming! We’re all eager to see it 🤩!

"im literally in argentina but still helping" LOL as an argentinian, i felt that one my man, great reference, and great content.

I think one of the biggest mistakes that jungler players make in low elo is they take the advice "never gank a losing lane" too literally. The main thing is that they're not taking the time determine if it's actually losing or if it's very slightly in the enemy's favor. A good example would be a ranged top against a melee bruiser, where the ranged top has a kill against your bruiser. This lane is usually not actually losing because even with a kill you should be able to practically one shot the ranged champion in a 2V1 scenario. However a scenario where you have a Darius with no kills versus a Nasus pre6 can generally be considered a losing Lane unless you have the ability to kill Darius with the current amount of health he has. Basically the biggest thing is just being able to analyze how match-ups actually turn out instead of looking at on face value or KDA. Helps to play the role for a while usually.

That midlane tip is literally how I went from silver to gold. Trying to perfect it though, because I think roaming to jg is much less of a coinflip these days and I often win games from 2v1 scuttles or raptor/buff invades

I really wish we could stop using the term "inting". Low elo players aren't always intentionally feeding. It's just that we don't know our limits very well, it's hard to keep track of what makes a champion strong at what points in the game etc. So it's easy to misjudge a situation and get punished for it, but that doesn't mean we're intentionally trying to lose

Yes!!!!! I like how e-build Nasus mid is being featured in this video starting at around 3:02!

One thing that I would like to add to the midlane tip, is that you should always at least leave into the fog every time you push in. This will basically force everyone on the map to play safe and if they don't, well then that's your queue to roam. Of course, if the enemy laner oversteps when you have a lead then you should absolutely use it to punish him instead. If he is smart and respects you, then yeah, you're not gonna get much from just sitting in your lane. And lastly, if you're behind, or even in a loosing matchup (which is most of the matchups I get into as an Aurelion Sol main, lol) then you should be the one respecting your opponent and waiting for him to make a mistake. If they roam and your teammates actually mess up horribly, then following will probably not do anything good, so just push and take the turret. If your teammaes play perfectly safe and smart and your opponent STILL goes to roam, then that's when you should go and counter gank, as it's a dumb play that would never work with even numbers. These are just the general rules of thumb that you should follow in the midlane. It's important that you recognize patterns in how your opponents play and adapt accordingly. After all you're fighting against humans and not an AI, so doing the same thing twice will absolutely not bring the same results (that's basically why League is so hard in a nutshell). EDIT: Oh yeah, and I should probably mention that if you DO get good opportunities to roam, then you should really pay attention to what your jungler is doing. You should usually roam on the same side that he is in, so you can double up on a gank or 2v1 an enemy jungler who stumbled into you. It's just a good way to optimize your roams, especially if you play champs with low early damage.

Gotta say that info about top lane makes me want to play more top lane. I am an adc main who loves freezing lane under tower and beating out my opponent by getting more CS. My issue generally is when my support gets bored and starts pushing my wave because they want to fight more. I'd say when i solo que roughly 50% of my supports tell me ill never win lane by just freezing and we need to start fighting more. I personally love winning by not fighting in solo que. The concept of fighting being too coin flippy in my elo really got stuck in my head and I really try to avoid unnecessary fighting. So yeah I think ill try more lazy top lane play. It honestly sounds fun to me.

8:45 that laugh had me laughing too hard

so for most laners the advice is "stick to your lane and let the enemy's flamboyance be their downfall" and for jg it's "A player in misplay tends to remain in misplay unless acted upon by an outside force"

I felt like I was losing my mind cause of mobis boots being a buy over swiftness ones for every engage support in my soloq. Thanks for telling me I'm not crazy.

The jungle one... I play this way and always get super ahead but you can't do that in gold. It ends up with me having afks around 1/3 games because their jg 'ganks more' despite me having over double their Cs and full objective control. Tilt is real in low elo so I avoid the jg role completely now. Much easier to carry from mid

These are all really good tips. As an engage support main I really appreciate the insight on moby boots. I'd felt uncertain about them last season and stopped building them all together only to start trying them again this week. They still felt worse than swifties, ionian, or defensive boots in most situations. Glad to validate those feelings

Hello, i was hardstuck gold for 2 years, and i never ever played mid lane, i was jungle support or top most of the time. But then i realised after watching some mid lane guides how bad actually mid laners are in gold elo. (Im talking about this roaming stuff and coinflipping every fight) So i rotated myself from playing sett top to sett mid and i literally climbed with 1 or 2 losses from gold2 to plat 4 like i was smurfing

tbh the thing about not being so aggresiv early is the best advise. i only started the game recentyl and had no idea about minion wave pushing. thx and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the tip on the boots, very helpful.

i like this guide, i tried it right after after i finished the video. my opponent literally hard int'ed into me. it even caused my adc to go 12/3. my team then ff'ed for no reason while ahead, but all in all was good game.

"they almost refuse to be bored for a couple of minutes" how dare you be so right about me.

Hector's such a good dude. Thanks for taking the time to teach us something new

I’ve been trying to improve a lot and this revealed a whole lot about how I’m top laning wrong. Patience really is the way to go.

Unironically meditation got me a massive winrate in top lane, you're not wrong about them having issues with patience lol

That's literally how i win most hard or uncomfortable match ups in top lane, bore the enemy to death. And then watch them get 3 kills out of nowhere because NOONE looks at pings.

Save some time: 0:35 Mid 3:55 Jungle 7:55 Top 11:07 ADC 13:00 Support

Good tips!! I really liked your segment about top laning, so true, I just want to fight the guy so bad

Thresh, ranged champion that beyond all law of game, with an engaging ability, poking power by powered aa and a ridiculous damage although being a support is broken

Hector: Don't stand at top lane tower and just poke at them. **Laughs in Illaoi** (Post 6 people; before that don't. Please. I make enough of those mistakes for the both of us, lol)

10:00 im not a toplaner, im an adc, but this is sooo true. Boredom in lane gets me killed so often

What you said about top is so true. It's insane how accurate it is

7:00 and this is the issue here. The game is over in YOUR head because you are a Challenger player. In reality, two lost camps mean NOTHING in low elo and you get that gold and XP back so easily with one kill and a mild wave tax. Regarding top lane, that is absolutely true. All you have to do is NOT do anything fancy or crazy and play it patient and smart. Most enemies will give enough opportunities to get kills anyway because they are NOT playing it patient and smart.

I really enjoyed this guide thanks for this it has opened my mind !

Really nice Video even if i already knew most of these mistakes.

As mid and support I feel so pressed about roaming because the situation in other lanes screams in my ear, pleading me to roam, but I'm just afraid of losing time, gold and lane.

Thanks for the tips! Greatings literally from Argentina

I love that you put you died to the Garen. I'll sub just for that. :)

Love the guide. Would like more info on low ELO support tips

the Timmy part put the biggest smile on my face spot on guide, thank you

The one thing I love is they show their mistakes which show even higher lvls die and comeback their games so that one death wont change much

Although I don't condone the smurfing, it did end up making a great set of tips. Thanks!

Great video, generally I think the "being bored for a couple minutes" issue is very important for bot aswell.

tysm 4 the moby boots tip, i didnt realise that until now

Finally someone understands my passive adc style! 🙌 I feel like I’m actually playing correctly 😂

Thanks dude I didn’t even think abt some of these things.

I play Ashe and ADC most of the time also I'm a newcomer, and yeah I myself noticed that sometimes I just try to get kills for no reasons other than be greedy where I should take my time farming creeps to build my skills and items. I have a lot to learn on the game and mistakes are a way to learn from!

I've been very busy for like 2 or 3 month and stopped playing LoL. And the very day i planned to start again, i see this. Boy i missed Hector so much !

ok the support tips and the top tips is not what i expected because i already now all that from my own mistakes and already fix it but tnx for the mid tip i doo that every time a play mid

I went into this expecting to be tilted by you pointing out something I do very bad as support, but instead you validated my playstyle of staying at extreme ability limit range and approach healing like octopuses do sex. From VERY far away. Also you probably taught me more about what I was SUPPOSED to do every time I get roped into filling top or jungle than any of the guides I've seen so far.

A must like video hands down so relatable

as a thresh player, knowing that mobi's are bad in low elo is weird to me as I never really seemed to have a problem with them and actually enjoyed using them. Can't wait to try out swifties though or haste boots and see if I feel better using those.

5:48 I didn't even know about counting the jungle camps and how much cs each camp cost and still got the right info to say invade and look for camps lol That part of saying that you're literally in Argentina got me so good 🤣

playing as a support I can definitely confirm I've done some stupid all-ins, and I've tried to take minor trades when my ADC decides they want to all-in instead.

Finally someone agrees with my swifties build, I hate the movement speed reduction. If you're playing a champion who would benefit from that extra speed from mobis then they also are punished just as much from slows so it makes sense to use the shoes that reduce slows

I love your honesty and how you admit your mistakes with pride. I have a lot of respect for you, I am not sure what your name is but I like you and your calming voice very much. I hope we can play together sometime. thanks for the video

Thanks this is great advice

Thx for the recomendation of mov boots

I believe the mobi boots on champs like Leona are way to useful to provide great roams and vision to ur team, I’ve really found a way to carry lots of games by having a great vision and roaming around

No. 1 mistake everyone makes: playing league of legends

you could add that at top lane if you crash the waves the second time you are probably lvl 6 to 4-5 and can dive if you call your jungler in advance in many situations

I like this! It was eye opening to say the least

in toplane knowing wave controll with champion like trynda is super important to make the champion 100% efficient, the game i've played the most patient was the game i win and hard carry.

2:08 literally this!!!!!!! I have tried to execute fast roams, gotten 3 kills both but come back to no tower because it took so long to try and get them since no one knew I was coming and no one wanted to catch mid wave.

I have a friend named timmy and I'm *loving* the timmy shoutout

This was the most helpful video I've ever had

14:00 ayyy if you are in argentina I can invite u to an asado :p great content aas always dude the tip for top lane was very useful 10/10

Thanks for convincing me to stop building mobis on support. I never liked it personally. I always though the slow-down when entering any sort of combat just felt really really bad, and would stop me from getting a lot of plays I otherwise would have had in the bag because in combat enemies would kind of just walk away from me. However I didn’t have the confidence to stray from the statistically “best” builds that constantly recommended them to me, but after watching this I’m never building them again!

I'd like to comment on the top lane section. It's actually better to push waves and poking opponents under tower depending on your champion.

one of the greatest videos i've seen in this channel

I would had liked if you had mentioned that midlane topband jgl should always look for scuttle,dragon,harald scirms when having prio. Often as a jgl i get let alone in a situation where the enemy jgl overextended abd didn't get punished buy the lack of movement from my strong lanes

So you're basically telling me to learn patience?.. Kinda hard for a chronic line stepper, but not impossible. Thanks for the tip!

What I've learned is that when I play Nasus top I just need one early gank. I don't even want the kill. I just need one clean wave of half stacks and farm to get my tier 2 boots , and a push to the enemy tower that pushes back into my lane so I save an early tp. And then by the 2nd to and my ult idc who im against . I won't die and they'll be bored out of their minds while I spam Ctrl3 .

I realized that part with mobility boots v boots of swiftness trying to play Warwick. As soon as I made the switch I started to win games more

Ty for the vid

I would add one thing to support . At the start of the game like first 8 lvl you should be more agresive but also not to much just know your limits for example you can auto enemy and presure them but still stay out of enemys range . Things change later bcs its really easy to get cc or one shot

8:10 was so helpful, thx

"I'm legit in Argentina" is such a good line hahaha. Loved the vid

Top adc and support are basically the same, and why i stopped playing ranked. The optimal way to play is actually just boring and just stalling the laning phase and farming and not fighting

8:02 If a game makes you feel bored the game is either not your style or its a bad game in terms of design or gameplay or story depending on the type of game

I'll never be bored to say that again but : oh god does this channel is good well made guides, actual advise shared, and good editing + some funny lines like here : 13:57

Huh. This was actually useful information.
