49:04 i like this quote from Flats (an OW tank player): "When one idiot does something stupid, he's an idiot. But when two idiots do something stupid _together,_ it's a plan."
I appreciate you putting your focus into the outplays in this video. That first game was fucking insane 😳 It was nice to see focus rather than doom saying even prioritized over commentary
41:00 People play in goldinum where mid/jungler won't punish you for taking plates where you shouldn't have, that's why they still have this mindset. Now I see it only due to watching your vids and being focused on minimap
Your mechanics are really good. I'd say, to properly master top, you need to practice wave management. I notice a lot of middle laners who go for a top lane climb don't work on their wave management which is like 60% of top lane. This is why the Aatrox was 2 level ahead. Your wave did get messed up when you rotated to grubs, but for top lane that may not be worth it as it can completely derail and lose lane. Again, you are mechanically talented so you can rely on that skill. If you're looking for tips on top wave management, i cannot recommend DaveyX enough. Every game of his he practices these skills and explains the logic behind his actions.
Hi Pekin! It's totally okay, as a long time fan I actually really enjoy the moments you take a pause to do your best! The quiet just gives me a minute to observe more closely and watch what you can do. And it's super nice when you comment or explain after, because it helps a lot if I miss something, personally. Keep up the amazing work! 😊
28:28 A stray Sivir bounce bopped you, my brain took a while to process what procced LB's first strike, only to realise it wasn't hers at all. (Not to mention she was base).
9:12 I really like the change in mannerism from Aatrox after you use your E. You can clearly see his playstyle go from very passive to aggressive, even though he could've been playing aggressive this whole time since him having edge up and you having E vs no Edge & no condemn is the same scenario. The only thing your condemn did was that it reminded him of the trade window he could use on you
"it could become disastrous very quickly if I fall behind" - That's what I've always noticed as a toplaner vs adcs and other ranged tops. They're oppressive as hell, but if they fall behind at all they get absolutely smashed the rest of lane.
The only times it triggers me when you don't get plates is when you only need 1 auto to get it and minions will finish it for u but you start walking top or bot because you see a play and then walk back mid because the play ends before you get there so you let the plate gold go for nothing. It feels like you value walking to side lanes over taking the extra gold from plates a little too much sometimes but I guess its just a difference in playstyle.
Still a great showing of your capabilities as vayne, but surprised that you forget the fact that vayne is very squishy despite having a lead. Oh well, we all forget sometimes. I've been loving the top climb - thanks for the commentaries!
Vayne top is unfair if you're bad at the game. When someone with mechanics plays her it's just an abomination. Like what can aatrox even do? If the vayne plays well enough he never lands his combo while she always pressures. It's like a standard top needs flash to play the game whereas Vayne just needs flash to counter that one moment the enemy tries to play the game.
During your rant at 41:18 about RU-vid commenters being triggered because you don’t overstay for plates I became giga triggered because you didn’t wait like 2 seconds to get your full vamp scepter
A question from someone who doesn’t play anymore. Do little flames on the ground come from the dragon? Also do they do anything besides give a short burst of MS?
I'm sad they removed stormrazor and ER sheen. I can't go the zoom Vayne build anymore you used to promote. That build made me like to play Vayne than just auto attack speed.
