Legit no matter what role I play I will always watch ur content. I always gravitate to the more trade focused toplane but nearly everything you say still applies
Sometimes we need something as simple as "there are no complex mistakes". What an amazing line. I'm so close to reaching Plat for the first time thanks to you, but I've caught myself saying ahhh that was a basic mistake soo much lately
At the risk of sounding like a total nerd this concept can also be applied to people who throw away their bodies in favour of knowledge and in the process become slobs or so skinny they can’t lift their arms above their shoulders. Like if you asked them to help you move to a new house they can know the most efficient way of doing things but will be tired after 20 mins of work. Likewise if someone who is all physical and no mental will be able to work for 4 hours lifting your couch but will probably ruin your walls in the process. A balance is needed both in league and in life. Body and soul, like Wide Shoulders Plato
I don't think the metaphor applies completely, in real life there are jobs that only require the physical aspect, likewise, there are jobs that only require the knowledge aspect, you can live with only one or the other and be perfectly fine
I'd say that some shortened content is quite great because these pieces of wisdom are also super welcomed and while they can be spotted in your long length videos, it requires more commitment to a video that can be less appealing to the audience and somewhat outdated (champion identity will remain, not the itemization or so) so some people can end up not approaching it based on that. Their loss of course, but just my two cents. As per usual, thanks for your work and approach to the game, from a former and future client! :)
@@CoachCurtis That would be really valuable for the community for sure! Would love a Syndra one for example, 3yo and a champion really appealing to your community.
Definately shorter content. Shorter content can be put into series instead of making 3 hours long videos (even the complex guides would be great if they were divided into shorter videos in form of series I think). That way its easier to process it overtime and its also easier to find 30 minutes during the day to watch your video rather than 3 hours. This is great, keep it up! Also I would appreciate more VODs of pros with your commentary - that is the most valuable coaching content on the internet.
just watch 30 minutes of the long video and then 30 minutes the next day then? also curtis thinks pro vods are useless unless you are looking at hyper specifics like a single abilities usage so he only used them as examples for that.
I did enjoy this form of content. I wouldn't call it short-form. The length is good and digestible long as it's enough time for you to go in depth (which this seemed like it was) then the length is good. I enjoy the longer videos too.
Just wanted to say , that I really really like your content . I don't see anyone discussing about the subjects that you do , and quality of the videos is very good . Objective perspective combined with a lot of knownledge about the game (aka high elo) makes everything you say , basically impossible to argue with .
Really nice content as usual, and good for us that you plan on making more of these shorter videos ! Thanks a lot man ! I'm going to try and follow your advices as much as possible and see where it leads me, thanks for everything dude!
this video was amazing and I was so fucking excited to watch another curtis video. This one didn't disappoint. Keep on keepin on buddy i love every second of it.
I'd love a video that goes into lull state usage! I'm curious what you mean when you say there's a problem with using lull states and what I should be doing. I have a vague idea, but I'm not certain on it
This is all true i used to think knowledge only is what you needto climb in this game, but the truth is CONSISTENLY executing the fundementals well. This is what i'm training to do.
I actually think the play was worth it. Let me break it down: Before Jayce goes it: 1 kill to red (+300 gp) Jayces goes in and dies, but Shaco also gets a kill (net gold 0) Liss trades for Senna 3:06 (net gold 0) While this was happening blue mid waves are crashing and will bounce back to jayce (+exp and gold after resets) Bot wave wasnt at tower and Cho catches it in time Jayce going in and extending the skirmish was actually about an even play considering the wave state mid.
At 8:55 would it be worth missing the wave and possibly some of the next wave just for a potential kill? You are not level 11 yet, so your damage overall is pretty low, so a kill is not guaranteed. Many time's I'm not sure whether or not to go for the roam or stay mid and keep my CS up as its a reliable source of gold with little risk.
Hey Coach Curtis i was wondering if you could make a video on how to climb from each elo iron to chall maybe and some champions that you think would be best for each elo in the mid lane in each of those ranks. great video btw.
I swear to god, I am such a good fighter when it comes down to fighting and trading, but I am so fkin terrible at micromanaging farm and positioning. Which I know is kinda lethal, I lasthit good, but lasthiting is as far as all know not enough, as to managing wave and knowing which one haves a cannon.. being a gwen player btw
@@CoachCurtis Excellent! I was planning on starting the MLA saying how Ive been hardstuck gold for like 8 years and my goal is to hit plat, but I literally just hit plat for the FIRST TIME EVER! LEGIT GOLD SINCE LIKE S5. I follow some but not all of the advice, but mostly I would say my mindset and relationship with the game improved the most. I was no longer grinding unhealthily all day, but rather sneaking in 1-2 games (I rarely had time or energy for full 3 blocks recently), and trying to review. In addition, I tried to rage less and take more responsibility. I never thought Id be saying this, but when I join, I guess my new goal will be to eventually climb from plat to diamond! I never thought I could! For reference: Its mostly in the past 30 days Ive been going hard. Ive been playing mostly Viktor and Fizz, only picking Fizz into good matchups (both lane and entire enemy comp). I used to be a fizz main but I can't blind it anymore. In the past 30 days I am 16W 4L on Fizz, and 26W 12 L on Viktor and feel super confident in these all plat lobbies!
It's a bit out of topic, but I'd like to point out that the Jayce, if he took a plate or two instead of roaming this late in early game, he would have avoided 2 of his 3 deaths while being much more ahead and still forcing Lissandra's hand. He really flipped it twice when there was an option that would have safely accelerated him in order to carry
But when he got killed for taking that plate it wasn't a mistake at all, in fact it was worth it. He crashed the wave + 175 gold from plate + 600 from lissandra because bounty, also lissandra ulted + forced rammus and yorick to loose their time (taking pressure so his botlane can play more freely for a minute. If shaco went bot instead of trying to help him there it would be a game changing scenario). So, yeah, he took 750 gold + a wave + their time + liss ult, and just gave 300 gold.
The problem with the jayce at 9:50 was also his lack of knowledge of the game, he dealt dmg to the turet so even if he ran away to the river and the plate fell he would still get the gold. It works on the same principle as herald hitting turet and jungler getting gold despite him being two miles away from the turet.
3 hour single videos are a lot harder to watch and parse than 15-25 minute videos. I think splitting your 3 hour videos into ~6 individual focused videos would be better for students overall.
I think shorter videos are better. E.g. the 'Yone academy' video is great content but could have been split up into a series of shorter videos. Might also be better for the algorithm.
Love both your short and long form content, but please either put some effort into your handwriting so it's legible, or just type with keyboard instead
