The 10 WORST MACRO MISTAKES to AVOID in SEASON 14 

UNLOCK our NEW MACRO COURSE for SEASON 14 here: www.skill-capped.com/lol/landing#macrolanding

Lane priority in silver is a myth, no one comes to help even if theyre hitting a full hp tower😂

I use the herald to engage. You can drop it mid fight to avoid damage by jumping in then the steering is so good you can get multiple knock ups with it while being unable to be damaged and if you want out just crash into something

Good job, mate. Thank you for this. The Rift Herald reduction was news to me!

This video is very well made. Thank you very much for your high quality videos

im the fizz during the 16:32 sequence xD i be so mad at my team when this happens. Like we got 2 towers for free why coin flip your lives take the small easy wins. So what if you have rift at least you got the charge off. most people cant ever accomplish that at tier 2. not all fights have to end with everyone dying

This video should be opligated to watch before you can que jungle in ranked. damn have i lost alot of games to junglers who dont gets prio or crossplay concepts and wants to force objectives. I also won alot of games though abusing when i see enemy jungler doing same mistakes, so i guess it evens out

finally understood what prio really means, thank you so much !

Really solid video. Is it possible to upload a new video showing us where to find a jungler that can do all these tips ?

Been playing support and getting HUGE vision scores. Got 132 the other day. My best pr.

thank u for the lane prio thing. i just hit diamond (i have like 0 game knowledge) and am so lost on the nuanced stuff and need this info so badly, thank you

thanks great content.

Can't stand it when I kill my lane opponent and ping the drake but the jg insists on taking the scuttle first

18:53 the recalls here are WOW

These are good tips

finaly vid not about new patchs thx

14:41 Taric basic attack cancel zoe sleep. So painful to watch.

As i climb through silver (almost gold) i see my team aram in their JG with no obj up. Basically coinflipping their or for some bounties. It hurts my tism

Something I find frustrating is knowing the right call but no one follows. Especially the baron over inhibitor call, or when you call baron on enemy jgl death timer. Usually, people are too slow to react and go start baron way too late and then blame the call on you

solid video

Adding to number 4, a lot of the time people just hit a wall or miss the tower altogether with the Herald. Or hide into the middle of their team and die. I just stopped taking Herald is just not worth it.

Hey Skill Capped, Im glad that u made some new guides. In recent times you gave us way too many champion lists.. ;(

I feel like I'm frequently, knowingly guilty of mistake 9 (jungling out of sync), but what do you do when your team is in the pressure zones and you have no objectives or farm in the enemy jungle to capitalize on in that moment? Do you just full group with the team and forget about farming/pressuring?

Can we PLEASE get a skill capped app?

I like this video. I made a mid game memory technique in order to hopefully consistently use most of the concepts mentioned in this video. Mid/Late is all about choosing the right style: - Turtle (Default): A passive style where you farm at tier 2 towers, considered safer compared to tier 1 side towers which might need to be abandoned. - Cheetah (Overextended enemies): Reactive to hawk or wolf styles, where the focus is on exploiting the overextension of enemies, particularly when a fight gives you a numbers or skirmish advantage. Can also be used mid-fight focusing on the isolated enemy without isolating yourself. - Hawk (A wave arrives in the collection zone or an objective spawns in 1:00): Involves pushing lanes, particularly mid-lane, to gain vision and map control (among other benefits). It's crucial to be wary of counterplay, especially from those reacting with a cheetah style or spider style. - Spider (Objective spawns in 0:30): Utilizes sweepers and two bought control wards to set ambushes in bushes, aiming for pick-offs. Ideal bushes to select are located near objectives, with notable mentions for bushes close to a buff camp or beside a lane in the enemy's collection zone. - Wolf (Attacking their towers and nexus): Coordinated pressure across the map, be it through grouping or splitting, typically with baron buff. The key is to retreat tactically if an ally fails to maintain pressure, to avoid enemies collapsing on them, particularly those using a cheetah style. This style is overused by teams that are ahead; to account for this, ping your team back if they do it, or find shutdowns if enemy teams do it. Early game plan some key points: - To use 2 wards to see the starting location and first objective to ensure I get one objective. - Pathing to prio. I go off the assumption that a full clear starting red buff leads to two lanes (mid and side) so it's often ideal compared to blue buff start which usually ends at Krugs and the gank paths to mid early are arguably not as good. - Use prio to find bushes to wait in, mostly going for lane counter ganks which can turn into tower dives as well. - Other ideas, some covered in this video and others that are not.

The new rift herald is not that valuable but it can help to push three towers when your team is ahead, when played right like if you go 5 people in mid with RH and the enemy team only sends 3 you can zone out the enemies while making sure the RH hits the towers and survives plus with the void grubs it spawns you can destroy the towers much faster therefore you can end the game more faster than before.

2:20 everyone in low elo does this all the time it's like they have never played chess once in their lives.

17:35 as a toplaner, i want everyone to pay attention here, also junglers please don’t blind start grubs like it was your camp, thank you

Last point of No.2 to put it simpler, don't invade when your lane can't shove the wave under the turret. The lane can follow whatever your decision is, aside from invade.

Well my teammates pressure mid despite side lane pressure. What are u gonna do about it

Brush???😅

Iv had jgs in a high emerald low diamond game, Start drake with now vision, and no prio mid and bot, just to complain when enemy kills him and steals dragon. Obviously, he blames us for that macro

Death timers are a joke, it’s very hard to punish someone if you can’t push fast enough after a kill

what should I do when I get 0 lanes prio and also cant win 2v1 gank because of scaling or weak champs

with mistake 1, its very difficult sometimes to get your botlane to come to dragon and often the "numbers advantage" turns into disadvantage when i see my bot recall and then its 3v2 :D

That 8 second respawn is just a recall with extra speed and the ability to buy during the timer... It is literally faster to die than to recall until level 5...

"crossplay, macro management, ganks" rando jglers I get "I don't need smite I deal enough damage"

I love watching these and realizing I'm doomed in Plat 1 because even if I ping to cross map an objective like they describe at 5 minutes. My bot lane will die or base or just not assist with the objective at all 🤣 so much for a man advantage.

these tips is dope when you play with actual good players but when you have apes you can only throw bananas around the map. :(

Junglers ever since Voidgrubs release have been so greedy for it and it's been so easy to just punish that decision.

Really informative video, well made! I didnt quite understand this though, at 13:11: "In the span of around one minute, Graves just got 4 kills, 3 on the enemy jungler..." is said yet this is not really possible.

The Vi in the first example also had top prio with riven who had just shoved a wave.. couldn’t see riven health but if she was ok on hp would have been free to contest grubs as blue side top laner had crashed wave under turret. Hell even going in to smite one grub for xp end E out would have been better

no.1 tip If you wanna be pro watch the 3 minute guide chanell on all the relevant or played champions OR JUST PLAY THEM YOURSELF because your strategy might be the same strategy that the opponent uses meaning you know what he is about to do and how he exactly works.

Also if you are the main carry and your team suck, but you are still winning and pushing, and you see how enemy strong player trying to backdoor, don't trust your team to handle with him. 3 times i lost, then was pushing nexus and enemy yorick just funished the game.

Me if I tried cross mapping dragon for grubs (grubs are much safer as you can take just one or two and be okay) Bot lane and mid lane both with prio both roam on me and kill me and take dragon. Tell me I'm wrong

People in master tier still doing those mistakes. Especially junglers who dont know cross map, die 1v3 and type ff, mute at 5 minute, run down lanes. Had 4 games in a row like that recently.

death timers being so low has really ruined the game in a lot of ways. It is odd to often be in a better spot after dying.

"always have a number advantage on the other side of the map" after how many pings?

these are basics for me but 90% of my teams do this mistakes

It’s almost impossible to convince low elo to take Baron. All the spam pings in the world. They rarely move to it

Funny how the baron example never happens as soon as you are not low low elo anymore because it is perma forced

take a shot every time he says lane priority

why warwick is ulting his briar teammate?

Just move to pc from wild rift in wild rift i played yone and i was pretty good but in pc league controls are too hard now i'm learning morde since he seems pretty easy despite my dogshit hands need tips please

Is kayn out meta in season 14?

Crazy how most of these don't matter below diamond 2 cause people refuse to play. It doesn't matter if you cross map the enemy jungler and your bot has prio, cause they won't move. This advice is good and you should know how to play like this but in lower elos it isn't this clear cut and It's clear that the people that give this advice haven't played in low elo for a significant amount of time.

The macro is larger than the game itself. If your team is shit, just run around aimlessly whilst not dying and you will lose less LP.

How come no jungler gank top?

Mistake 9 is why we need voice comms.

This guide just goes to show how much agency junglers have as they decide most of the macro choices explained in this video here...

The only time a jungle cross map plays is if I'm playing it. These season 14 jgs fucken suck

9:45 Yea its good that I know that and dont make that mistake. Guess who does make these mistakes every game... my team.

its fascinating how my team doesnt know any of these but reaches Diamond. What am I doing wrong? Its probably that I dont abuse broken meta champs but only play whats fun...

it's a 14 yo game, I play it for 12 years. Yes it took me some time to get good at it, but I am surprised how many people still have no idea how to play this game. I have friends hardstuck in silver playing for over 10 years, but at the end of the day it's just a game so being bad in a game is whatever anyway I guess

Someone teach my emerald laners this info please

Welcome to the league of Dragain

You're expecting people who play games casually to go into this thinking rationally about all their actions, and that's the main problem with playing League. The vast majority of the players DO NOT want to think, they do not want to exert any effort at getting better at the game, they want to fight constantly and they want to win because that makes them feel good. It is literally only about chasing the dopamine rush and anything that prevents them from doing so makes the upset and not want to play the game anymore.

Trying to climb as an Adc in solo q is impossible this season. Adcs feel so weak with the runes and items changes, hard stuck iron for life i guess.

13:00 how can twitch support be highest lvl in the game? xd

Mistake : Buying control wards - Dont do damage

Drag-on... not Draygon or Draegon, it's DRAGON. Sheesh!

If I actually played ranked, I'd probably get your service

this type of vids should be recommended in the FRONT page of lol xd, like for emerald 1 down its incredible how emerald is close to diamond and people play like silvers gold like wtf xd

Then u go drag and ur bot doesn't rotate and enemy ad and sup kill and and thank u for leash.

out of mana yeah its akali ur right she has no mana

Ppl explaining things create so much bs. They make simple things complicated for no reason.

It's called a dragon, not a dreagon

"Rift Herald is the weakest objective on the map" -> "Look how we used Rift Herald to completely snowball the game". So we shouldn't always overlook it i guess

Dreigun.

If you acknowledge these mistakes, an average emerald game will probably result in pure hopelessness by minute 20.

Low elo players blatantly ignore you cross mapping for a dragon play to farm an additional cs or reset so the enemy bot collapses and forces you to abort dragon. So you waste time and dont get it. Worst case you die. Thats why people farm, because botlaners are mentally disabled

lol i am in the video

how to win jungle: have winning lanes.

One i think you missed on rift is using it to charge rather than letting it charge (if safe) - it doesn't spawn mini void grubs unless you charge it, and if you've a few stacks of void grubs, you're missing loads of spawns per charge!

"Draygon"

no

7:10 100% true. But when I rush drake my team doesnt move regardless. Should I really Spamping every single objective?? this game is trash without a duo mate. If its an objectively good call what can I do if team doesnt move. This is just crazy. They are greedy mfers who always go for every wave. Literally in this video too. That jhin lane. My Botlane wouldve taken the next wave always instead of moving to drake because they are greedy assholes. I wonder why I should even do objectives and not just take their wave instead. Because what they are doing is playing ONLY for themselves but then are useless later regardless because enemy jungler snowballed off the calls they didnt follow. This game is trash im thinking about a role swap to elo inflated adc.

macro doesn’t matter under dia 1 elo. If you are forced to play with monkeys, do you act like a human? no because you aren’t playing with humans. Mechanics alone win you games in shit elo until high dia and low masters. That’s where macro actually matters, coming from gm peak and have done multiple bronze to masters climbs. I’m looking to start streaming but don’t know if anyone would be interested.

Zin Zao 😭

11:20

This is such a non-thing, I know, but does anyone else tilt a little when they hear it pronounced "Dray" in dragon?

I see... I guess Im just too stupid to exit silver, cuz I cant understand most of the shit here, and the stuff I do understand, I already do anyway

Need a guide to escape iron 😂

Déjà vu

I don't understand you guys, I remember multiple videos in which u guys were preaching how buying control ward is soo bad because people are bad at using them and just shouldn't buy them, Now you are saying that control ward are something u should almost always have after 14min

number 1 rule in S14 is if you get the void grubs you win the game

this is so straightforward even emerald players do this stuff

sorry but a LOT of these tips regarding objectives just suck... You are basically saying people to give up every single objective and never contest if the enemy is already there... That's totally not how you play jungle at all.

Also add what to do when bot goes 0/10/0 in the first 12 minutes

He's talking way too fast
