The 5 Ways to INSTANTLY Improve Your Laning! - Mid Guide 

v cheeky

ty for the tips, i played a game right after watching this and destroyed my lane and went 14 and 1

It might seem like a controversial subject, but would you mind doing a "drafting-to-lose" video in which you're expecting a losing matchup? Hector has touched on this topic before with the "AFK laning support" and again when you analyzed Korean Sett, but perhaps we can look into the big picture and talk about how to accept when you're the weaker side, as opposed to just saying "high elo stomps low elo". My point is that if everyone's going in expecting to apply what the guide teaches, then suddenly everyone's overstepping their boundaries all the time, and questioning if they actually learned anything.

Will u make guides for wild rift as well?

@@kooldudematt1 For Melee champions, health is a critical resource. You can't afford to trade too much of it to get creeps, so with the ranged champion ready to harass, you need to bait abilities before you take the last hit, or you need to just trade health for it. Various melee champions can get some safety for their last hits, such as Zed and Yasuo (which is why melee Noobs find value in clinging to them.) When you're a melee carry, the kills are everything, and you just can't do the all-in if you haven't been staying healthy. I would recommend Doran's Shield and Second Wind to mitigate the ranged matchup as much as possible. As long as all you're taking is basic poke, these things, by themselves, are enough to sustain you.

Qiyana: Cute.

Can we get some likes on this comment and likes in general; i agree with this comment 100%

TRUUU

I mean, skillcapped channel is good for general macro, but if you really need mid macro, you should look on Veigar v2 coaching videos. He is really clever and his macro is so f*cking good.

@@dub5711 Thanks for the recommendation; will check the channel.

try checking out Coach Curtis, he's a great youtuber for both micro and macro, occasional tier lists and patch rundowns, and pro player analyses. his content is optimal for mid lane, but most of it's applicable to other lanes.

😂😂 same

Targeted advertisement, proguides has the same channel concept as skill capped. League guides to make players better at LoL. And Proguides is paying RU-vid for advertisements.

A bit fun how pro guides stole the concept from skillcapped and run ads on their video.

@@ssenkrad67 Pro guides doesn't choose whose videos their ads get ran on. Specifically anyway. Thats on RU-vid.

Reminds me of when i got a mobile legends ad on a wild rift video lmao

this one felt like an asmr guide lol

@@stayphrosty true, tis just the way he speaks. but if you can listen beyond that, you'll see that mcbaze has real in depth thought process and situation analysis like no other.

McBased

As I know he's G1 almost plat rn

@@nikusha432 so I guess they failed in their challenge it was till the end of the preseason right ?

@@Sergios_Kounelakis 1st video was uploaded 3 month later I think he has left 1 month but idk

Also gains in pre season are wacky.

@@sonpham3438 eh they knew that when they started the challenge.

for sure if you let an autoattack base champion reach you even if their abilities are down they will win the trade, you can outrade it if you keep distance as a ranged or have a better engage if you are mele

if hecarim came from raptors he would be seen from a mile away, you can just run to bot river. all you need is map awareness

I think he knew that heca would path top instead of mid. Look at aatrox position on top, he's pretty far from his tower and if you were playing heca i doubt that you would go mid seeing as your liss is a level behind and has no more mana. The heca knew he had no kill potential mid (and brand also knew this) so he was confident to go for the liss kill

Sorry, the liss was not a level behind but was pretty low on mana though

Hecarim was a level behind and lissandra was too far back to make any type of good plays

Hecarim is not level 6 and he still has flash. He set a freeze so his minions would come meet in the middle of the lane in case he needed to escape (more of counter to kha zix technique but applies here). Minion damage is still high and can also block movement,etc. too. Plus hecarim just had a fight with lee sin so would be a bit low hp to risk a gank. But all in all to go for the kill he just made sure his positioning wasn't too far away from any escape routes he has.

I thought the same

never trust gold elo junglers play by yourself

From a higher elo point of view, you are right. BUT... As mcbaze stated, this is gold elo. In my opinion, in this kind of elo, it's better to use your existing lead to win your lane first (i.e. killing Lissandra if she stays in lane). If he was to go after Hecarim, who knows what would've happen? Probably lee sin would've still not reacted in time, and maybe Lissandra would follow up and you end up in a 1v2 and die pathetically in your own jungle. Never take coin flips like that, especially since, at that time, Brand still has not capitalized yet on those early won trades. If he were to leave lane at that moment, Lissandra would've broken the freeze, shoved the lane in and got a free reset, and all the trading and level advantage would've been wasted. Staying in lane was the right call, in my opinion.

You mean the smurf things or being passive? Because people get punished in my bottom gold EUW games for their level disadvantage all the time.

Euw is better then all the western servers like NA, EUNE, etc... So it's for sure a little bit harder but you can still do it.

Probably because you don't see the windows, watch your games back. Always thought it was a waste until I tried it. It really shows what you do right or wrong.

Yesterday I was playing on my NA account and we had a diamond 4 jg.his micro and mechanics were like high Gold players on EUW

@@Noobmaster-sh5jn yeah euw gold players know about macro and micro

True, unfair indeed. BUT still, if you do this consistently in your games, you draw the enemy jungler's attention to your lane more and more often, meaning others have an easier time laning. Eventually, you'll learn to consistently survive jungler's ganks more and more often. That's usually when people transcend their current elo and evolve.

Yes that would be nice

It would basically be the same advice for top lane. The only difference is that your trades might be melee and position away from a jungle gank will be trickier if you're weak side due to the tribush. All of this info can be applied to all lanes

Thats your misplay.

He was pathing towards red. The wave was already pushing towards brand and he was on the far bottom side of lane. The best gank they get is hec ghost and liss flash just for brand flash.

Which to add onto would be totally worth it if followed up on.

Cut the clip!CUT THE CLIP!

He has flash and that an heca lvl4. Also hes full health. No way heca can hope to kill him. He will just EQ him as he approches and disengage

They said lissandra is good because her counters are control mages, which are unpopular in low elo. You are more likely to see yone or zed than brand in low elo.

Probably trying to thin the wave. If the w had hit like 1 less minion than it did it would've worked perfectly

he cant harrass with a wave that large and if he just went for last hits then liss couldve pushed it into hit tower

how is it breaking his freeze ? There is still 2 more minions on liss side after the w so his freeze is still up and he can thin the wave to keep the control over his freeze

oh actualy nvm the burn made the minions die but well its still prety even with his canon being lower so it would take some time for the wave to come back, not optimal but ye its not that much of a deal he'll still get a lot of freeze time and he'll pressure her again once the wave starts repushing and lee stops being a pussy being scared of heca lol

The w broke the freeze and the wave would have shoved towards lis, if she waited a bit the wave would hard push back to her

In euw they dodge skill shots rather well, in other regions Ive played they legit walk into them, and I'm talking about gold players and higher. Its weird

It's funny how in bronze junglers non stop ganking but in high elo they are more relaxed 😂😂

Check out Coach Curtis

@@Daniel-gy1nj already know h

Already know him

Unless your internet is bad, don't use it, it'll hurt your play instead. Or if you have high ping (80+) Mostly preference though, see if you like it or not.

movement prediction is a lag compensation mechanic that tries to simulate 0ms lag on your screen and champion. The problem is, this creates unsynced champion position/location especially over unstable network. Say you have 100 ping and you start moving, then a blitz hook is thrown to you. You have your prediction turned on so you think you are positioned at 0ms (lets say your moving right, and you moved 33 pixels according to base 330 movespeed) and hence dont need to dodge or flash from your perspective. But network perspective sees you 100ms ago(33pixels more left then what you saw on ur screen), which would mean you do get grabbed. tl;dr, movement prediction is visual trickery and i actually think it hinders your judgement for crucial on the fly reactions for skillshots. if the above explanation didnt make sense for you, hmu, ill try to include visual help next time.

Dont use it if your skill shot has a wide range/big aoe. I'm pretty sure I watched a Skill capped video with Xerath as the example.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-evOF8Xm5zBA.html Ok I found the video :D

The level advantage and stun skill shot should give you the main ideas, he know that if he went for a trade as Lissandra was under level and walking up for cs, he would win, he want to make sure that Lissandra would lose as much exp as possible and staying in a sweet spot for his Q to land, this is when his walk up behind those casters come in, so he wouldn't miss his Q, if he try to trade Lissandra when she up for cs, even if her level was lower, his chance for hitting his Qs if she stayed behind 2 melee minions is greatly hinder.

No instead you should w e the wave then run i to your red side since you saw hecrim went to your red side and counter the invade. 2v1 the hecrim with lee sin. The kill on lis was very risky as that was her misplay. Top had priority and lis was a level down. But because he didnt rotate, lee sin lost rapters and crugs and was shoved out of his jungle putting him very far behind. League is a team game and that means that you should not only plan to have yourself be the carry but instead win as a team by cooperating properly.

@@bancrusher yea, but lee was very low and brand was out of mana

Hell yeah I was just thinking this! and its in so many ways... They have the personality, the skills, the understanding, and the amazing ability to communicate simply and effectively.

no ? x') Coach curtis is the first one i can think of the top of my head

@@zeinfeimrelduulthaarn7028 Coach Curtis for sure wins if we're talking about individuals :9

that's...literally what they showed

@@nyndoke7210 Im gonna rewatch the video just to answer you, maybe it helps out of platinum

@@nyndoke7210 Ok, so no, that's not what skillcapped was saying. I said if YOU KNOW you are getting lvl 2 first bc the minions dies FIRST, then its a good idea to just fight, even at a disadvantage, cause you lvl up (Lvl 2) in the middle of the fight. That's what i meant, its a bit tricky to accomplish in mid, but as adc or toplane its a pretty Easy free elo exploit, people will fight you, you just need to bait them into thinking they are gonna win.

Skillcapped was showing us how to walk up to the enemy while lasthitting and levelling up, while putting us in a position to punish the enemy. Hope you understand, and you can climb some elo 🥰 , best wishes bro

@@martinstefanelli2856 too long didnt read the answer of a nobody that peaked in masters in 7 years of playtime. But best wishes bro :)

The usual thing is as he goes away to waveclear asap and get the wave to reset under their tower. But if your waveclear sucks you can leave it frozen and recall yourself although then your opponent will break the freeze and can counterfreeze it. I generally would avoid to create a slowpushing wave into your opponent. If they are good they will get most or all the cs and have them play under their tower safely. Slowpushing waves can be used for roaming.

@@simonenoli4418 Thank you

Rather Plat i feel like

@@fasasplay Idk I don't remember what this video is about tbh. Are you playing euw server?

Minions change aggro when u attack the enemy champion

@@asec3593 yeah, but why did they change again and not attack him?

Statistically speaking, you don't need to watch challenger lanes.

@@Gloriankithsanus but when its like a clannger smurf vs some silver guy its kinda ehh make it dia or someting xD

She scares me I ban her all the time lol

You don't learn to do it properly that way

If you watch diamond/masters gameplay, you'll see how people miss those cannon minions like there is no tomorrow LOL, at the point that it became a meme. And NOT because they were challenged by the enemy laner. Shit just happens. I also saw occasionally using their spammable ability to get the cannons, sometimes even stating "I really don't wanna miss this since I need to buy X item". Nothing wrong with using abilities to get those cannons, especially since it's a low CD or low mana cost ability.

Are you good at dueling?

When you are melee vs range, then you have to play around the lvl3 concept - stay as healthy as posiable, take free CS and let them push. Once you hit lvl3 and are healthy then you have preasure, and can punish them for being out of position.

that sounds actually good I should try to remember that for the next time I play kat. But I still have some problems with her, like I kinda lose every trade and I cant roam without pushing and losing cs and to top it off some matchups are a champ diff you cant generally win the lane so you just sit there and admire how the grass is so green.

@@villetiittanen4607 they have video Talking about ranged Vs melee matchup which is really helpful

@@villetiittanen4607 you can win even those, you just have to wait for the right moment, and on a champion like katarina it becomes also a question of your mechanics at higher elo

@@villetiittanen4607 for reference the best TFs know theyll lose lane or even champ diff yet still win the game anyways, its all about knowing the game especially in this new season. For now focus on surviving mid. Play melee then do what they said wait for lvl 3, you WILL lose minions because you have to - just try to get as many as you can without to much hp loss. When it comes to roaming while not an expert myself I do believe this channel covered by saying learning the roam timer on cannon so you dont lose to much. Its not a loss if you get an assist or kill just make sure the roam is worth it.

That's just depressing my guy, I was iron because I never tried at ranked, so I decided to try hard, in 20 games I got to bronze 1 xD
