very good analysis, i also often get stuck in the idea that farming is the only good consistent way of staying relevant and getting resources. Helping the team can give such big advantages though, need to learn this too.

My constant problem with midlaners. As mid laner you should definitely work with a jg mentality since you have so many options available to you.

@@antonioguardado9398 indeed

@@antonioguardado9398 Not necessarily. A coin flip roam is risky and not always worth it. Sometimes, especially with lane dominant champions, you might want to prio mid. Too much roaming with high risk for failure isn't worth it. Sometimes your sidelanes don't offer any potential for ganks from the mid. Esp. lvl 5 orianna offers no cc and no engage, if your sidelaners have none it's doomed.

@@disadadi8958 dunno why you're assuming all jungles are taking coin flip roams but sure with that mentality definitely don't do it

Its too expensive anyway

Same here, i find myself understand the game a lot better after watching these amazing guides for over 2 years now and I can play decently against mid-Plag while i am only gold 4 (duo with friend) But still, life's been too busy and i cant find the right mental to climb

@@touchthis3372 Coaching is too expensive unless you are rich, or League is your life and getting better is all you care about. It can't be cheaper though, it needs to pay the coaches at least more than a minimum wage job per hour. Skill-Capped is a reasonable cost if you buy the 1 year plan for $59.99. That works out to $5 a month. IMO, if you like the Skill-Capped content and want to improve, then pay for the 1 year plan, watch as many videos as you can on the platform (there's a lot, esp if you prefer mid, jungle or top, but there's an ok amount of ADC content I guess). If you don't improve much 5-6 months into it, contact Skill-Capped support and you can get a refund. Just don't abuse that to cheat them out of money if you actually did improve :)

Well you can see neace video he is coaching a lot of players and kingstix if you play jg

I feel you, bro. Good luck 🤞

Been there with Zed and Akali. I know the damage they do so I am just kinnda scared to die to them even once unless I am on my main( Lissandra)

Yea that's why there are different ranks. No one is really stupid i think, people just Lack experience

@@wotizlove Wise word

@@wotizlove usually these kinda go hand in hand in league

for sure a lot of people pick meta champs without understanding why they're so broken this graves here clearly is one of them; he understands that graves has great wave clear, but forgets that graves also has one of the highest early game damage output in the game

People don't understand the concept of trading I mean they freaking using it everyday yet when it comes to lol it has to be somewhat different lmao.

@@wzt9376 The everyday trading that people do usually does not see them and someone else beating the shit out of each other, though

It certainly isn't just an misunderstanding how the matchup works, even on a burst ap mage without spell up would should still trade more than Graves did in this situation. That said, it seems clear that this guy is afraid of the Sylas. He knows that these type of champions are meant to 100-0 you late game(and probably experienced it a bunch), but fails to realize that they can not do such things at level 2.

Graves probably had some prior bad experience because after lvl 5 graves most certainly can't win those trades any more unless he got ahead. After that lvl 1 mistake he did, he also did not want to risk with his positioning knowing that sylas is very well capable of dealing that 50 % health bar that was left with a combo something similar to e, ignite, auto, w, auto, e hook, auto, (and a flash, auto, auto on top of that if needed, theres also a thunderlords proc in the combo usually) That whole combo might look like it's a long time on paper, but in reality, it all happens inside about 2 seconds usually. Graves could have died and he chose not to risk it, probaby also being scared of a possible jungler intervention. Yes, ive played the hell out of sylas ;)

Would rather play against him than Trynda mid

One of the things I do if I fall behind on Orianna mid, I look for someone to play around and basically become support for them. I stop looking for dmg from my q w combo and start looking for e w shield with speed boost for someone that can carry me. And of course to land a good ultimate in teamfight, which can turn around it even when I am behind, couse it is insane teamfight carry. Of course I do it while power farming, so I can comeback and become control mage as I Orianna should be. I am also not stressed in falling behind, as Orianna scales well to late game, so I will catch up ewentually.

and DOPASEGIRL xD

wdym, he literally roamed to get kills

What people (nor the creators of this video take into account) is that they're literally watching a replay, you wont always make the best choice while you're playing, if you did you'd be challenger

But it was a lvl1 fight. No Jungler ganks at level 1, and if they do they are terrible at their role

If you gank level 1, your jungle is lost

@@AdeptoDiChuckNorris this is what always happens in low elo, lol

well, freezing is "akin" to not taking action if you didn't notice at 6:00, they clearly put "freezing too much" ALONGSIDE "not pushing", indicating that they are similar and generally have the same effects on the game if vlad were to ACTUALLY freeze here, he still wouldn't have prio to any scuffle down in the river or down bot which is NOT what you wanna do when you're super ahead as he was

as for skills, u gotta know the cooldowns by yourself. but as for potions, u can press tab which shows the scoreboard and u can see what items your enemy has

tbh i didnt even know that graves autos do more damage the closer someone is, so maybe that graves didnt either?

nah 1st and second were still really bad

@@basiceclair4195 its not particulary more dmg, but it is a shotgun and if an enemy is on higher range not all parts of the shot connect

minion damage in early game is insane. When you look at the replay, starting around 10:02, you can see that the backline of the wave, which deals the most damage, doesn't have a target yet, so they would attack the LeBlanc immediatly when she would step up. You can actually see that already happening in 9:59, when LeBlanc already gets targeted by the caster minion in front of her. On top of that, Dopa positions in a way that would require LeBlanc to walk up into the wave in order to hit her spells, which would again lead to the whole wave attacking her. This combined with the fact that LeBlanc is only level 4 and can hardly oneshot someone with only 2 kills this early would lead to LeBlanc losing the trade or at most go even with the Orianna. Even if Dopa is 0/2, they were the same level and the 15 ap advantage from a single item that LeBlanc has is not enough to outdamage the whole wave and orianna

tl;dr for superluma fan 3 casters = 30 dmg per wave of minion aa having around 6 means that dopa gets around 120-180 extra dmg for free plus (on the topic of hitting spells), leblanc needs to hit her chain thru the minions wave, which dopa is playing inside

he has flash and ignite wdym?

well, you do realize that hes smurfing. and vlad cant scale vs a smurfing lane bully like aatrox, he wont have any farm and will be spam killed under tower. also aatrox late game is really strong, espicilaly when ahead as a smurf

Isn't that the same situation as saying why pick xin into eve

Same. I'm not entirely sure how a Vlad is supposed to outpush an triple AOE Q Aatrox with a whip I'm assuming. He is largely a burst mage these days, not a sustain brawler like Aatrox. His E isn't even max rank when he loses the tower. Add to that the fact that he may be not used to playing against Aatrox mid and he might just know he is against a smurf.

@@Stargazer3147 5 kills vlad destroy atrox 1 v 1 anyday of the week.

@@westonprice6272 A modern day Vlad is not going to outheal an Aatrox with grievous. He has nothing to outpush him with either so while he may be 5-0 into 1-3 he is likely down CS and definetly down 4 plates and that not not nearly as high of an advantage as it's made out to be. It's also a plat into a challenger smurf, which isn't something you wanna yippee ki yay as the plat.

I get it, but some situations confuse me when I think of this. Recently I was playing Pantheon against Vex, and waiting for an important skill in this matchup is just a waste of time. Like Vex E stops my only engage ability W and so how can I punish her E, when she only uses it defensively, there's no way I can just bait it out cause I'll eat a lot of damage from her W and Q. So what are my options in that kind of situations?

@@sargischshmarityan9657 shove and roam like there is no tomorrow 😉

@@DraxTheDestroyer ok, but in some matchups I can't shove when they are in the lane too, like lux or xerath, or every aoe high damage champ, they just annihilate the wave and it resets. Is it a good timing to roam, because I think that way I'm gonna give them free tower plates, or even an entire tower?

@@sargischshmarityan9657 shove and immediately roam with your ulti, he has to follow or you will get your other laners fed and they will start flaming their mid, this will disrupt them.

@@DraxTheDestroyer ok thanks dude)

you didn't understand sh1t

if you are in an elo where you have teammates like that, you are the sole reason for not climbing. Not saying you can win all games, but you should be able to consistently perform better than that elo average and thus climb. Fix your mindset and perhaps mute chat

they literally did that but sent the yuumi to die to the enemy adc and still won

Also graves mid is rare!
