I've learned such an insane amount from these guides. So much stuff I thought to myself "I'll learn everything eventually if I keep playing" and maybe that's true but it would take a long time. I'm still not out of Silver but I feel like I have so much more agency in my games. Trying to find that balance between farming and fighting, and learning how to get the most out of my lead that me and my duo get in 90% of our lanes. Being proactive and pressuring is key, for sure. Thanks a lot for all these guides.
When someone applauds a guide for being helpful, and in the same breath mentions being silver and having "more Agency". Na ny dude fr, if this guides rlly would teach you jackshit, u wouldnt be silver. Or at least you would know that in your pisslow elo , you gotta learn the most basic of basics first, before yiu worry about 30 min complex guides.
Just a little plus about that information gathering in this match: kindred marks on the map can be a great tool for that too. If the mark appears in a weird position on the minimap and not exactly in the original position of the camp, like at 24:30 it means that someone in the enemy team was taking it at that moment. Tha mark always spawns right above the camp. If the camp is pulled ut of its place, the mark spawn will follow it
very informative guide a few of these concepts i started to do and was beginning to think why am i thinking so much but seeing this makes me know this is the best way to approach jungle i just need to learn how to make decisions faster and better
This just made me realize the true power of one-tricking. Having committed clear patterns to muscle memory you spend barely any mental energy on micro movements allowing you to allocate that extra brain power to gather and process information.
Indeed. by doing so you can learn the game itself rather than just learning your champion. however before one tricking you better try out most of the champions to see which one fits you the most and to know each champion's abilities and other useful info like builds , power spikes and such. If you dont want to one trick then you can pick one or maybe up to 5 champions to main and you should be good
@@bernard3303 Also one should make sure there are no reworks or adjustments on the way. So it's usually a bad idea to one trick old, hard to balance or overpowered champions. I still have ptsd for one tricking oldest ryze, old fiora and mordekaiser, only to see them all reworked.
@@Aynshtaynn I feel you bro. trying so hard to master a champion, putting in months or even years of work into it only to get it all ruined is so sad. but at least you hopefully had fun playing right? :)
@@Aynshtaynn can agree with that. I spent all of Season 10 learning the rework of my one trick (Volibear), but eventually I persevered and now can use it again properly. ...hopefully I can hit Diamond soon, I'm so close. edit 23/03: reached Diamond and Masters but fell back to Diamond 3, sadge
Just wanted to write the same exact msg)) This video is easily the best I saw about jungling and targets my main struggles as plat hardstuck. Great job SC!!
pls make one of these in adc perspective ik it’s supposed to be applicable to all roles buttt i believe having the perspective of the adc champion helps cause there are two different priorities
This 100%. Thanks to guides like the ones from Skill Capped, I learned wave control and basic pressure rules, but many times feel confused as to when to apply different wave techniques considering every other aspect of the game (my vs enemy's bot duo, both junglers and where they are, etc)
Don't push unless you have vision unless you are very far ahead. Look at where your damage would add the x factor to lead to a victory such as assisting your jungler take dragon. Always be mindful of threats and how your team can counter.
@@gloomish5120 it's not as simple as don't push unless you have vision. It's fine to push and get the priority advantage if you have information on the enemy team. Like you know their jungle is top side and their mid doesn't have priority, that's actually a good time to push out, if you are able, and get priority allowing you to roam and establish vision control
13:00 !!!!!! You are so wrong. The question was gank top or do wraiths at lv 2. Tops a bad gank. So we know he’s going wraiths the entire time anyway…. But at 13:00 he covers this entirely. Looool. Nice try!
I love the new SkillCapped ad in the beginning. "But before we get into it..." thing really got old over the years even with Dan American's voice, and it was way too long not to skip. This is not only funny and gives the message to new viewers, but also short enough to sit through for veteran poor viewers who can't afford your full service.
Can we please change the name of the "Even Minion Rule" to the "Slow Push Rule"? Slow pushing is what happens. Even minions is a condition for the dynamic.
Being a jungler is so hard, this guide for quick decision making actually helps clear up certain things that could be better for jungler's split decisions making, which you could also refer to this video as a jungle's guide. As junglers have to have total map awareness kind of like overseeing your teammates. This also helps with players who might be new to understand the role of the jungler. Very helpful video 👍
Regarding gathering information. At 11:30 you said top lane is more likely to be ganked by viego because he was not seen leaving krgus. But at 5:51 you can spot viego in the ward going to the raptors. So the answer to the question: what lane is more likely to be ganked, is MID not top :)
13:00 you must have missed the fact where he totally covers this. But again to beat a dead horse since you guys wanna try and correct a guide without paying attention…. He was talking about a lv 2 gank at 11:30 and 5:51 is technically AFTER that. Besides all that… He can gank after wraiths, but the lv 3 gank was never the question earlier. It was about him doing wraiths or ganking top… pls humble yourself lil goldie boy.
21:50 The main thing that needs to remember for is low elo players that is that low elo solo-q players are boneheads and selfish for the most part. If I have lane priority and an item advantage on Viego and we were to meet in the river for a fight, neither my mid or bot lanes would collapse to help because they just don’t realize what’s going on or it’s because they have tunnel vision which majority of low elo players do. I see it time and time again, my bot lane has a big advantage, I get into a fight in the river 1v1 and it’s the enemies they are team with coming to help despite being pushed back, no pings or any type of reaction from my bot lane and instead they let me die and then get themselves ganked from that same river I just died in because they are just tunnel vision locked on doing turret damage. I’m honestly under the assumption that in low elo, players just get on to be toxic and figure out how to take out their anger and depression on other people. I can’t get a few games in a row without people flaming each other, trolling, dying once and then running it down, I mean the shit in this game is crazy. Sometimes I wonder why I still play.
Right before I saw this video I was playing jungle and thought to myself "man I have so many decisions to make, i think im a little overwhelmed!" thanks for this video!
yes they are lying, ally portrait is a useless feature, you don’t see enemy health neither it is useful when are to slow at moving your camera so you only move your camera to the lane if you see you allies has lost some health, to see lane state and enemy health. also useful for shen and soraka players, but anyone else could remove it.
@@maxwell_edison I'm talking about the thing above the minimap. I usually use it to check ult CDs, if I want to see my team's health I just use camera hotkeys.
Skill Capped thank you for saving my sister from angry sharks at the Maldives. Still cant believe you dove from your private yacht without any help and hesitation , my life is changed
I've only played LoL a few times, and I don't think I'll get deep in it, but I find things about it interesting. It makes me happy tho when I see a guide or a class and I find I did a couple of things that were good already before being told it was good choice
This is the most needed video I've seen so far. Low elo jungling does not give you ANY reason to learn these skills. They don't accrue naturally. A good example is your idea of Schrodinger's Jungler. Staying off the map IS incredibly useful, IF your enemy jungler is tracking your movements at all. Which in Silver and down, they aren't. Lots of this stuff is incredibly useful AND nuanced, as in, you'll pick it up over time naturally, but the wild part abt this role is that if you don't have somebody who knows the game REALLY well to help you, (Skill Capped), you WILL NOT pick up alot of this shit lol. Just my 2 cents.
Even though this is a junglers guide in what to do this actually has some real life implications. I usually procrastinate work because I don't check on what I have to do and when I started thinking about the options available to me and work on everything else. Thanks @Skill Capped Challenger LOL Guides
So for You who want to get notes this is the conclusion he made at end, put a like as a thank :). First, try to time Your information gathering when your actions are low. (like when you're abilities on cd or when You're killing camps) Second, quickly roll out any useless information, look out for common patterns like long distance or lack of nearby camps to identify useless informations faster. Third, check your closest lanes first as this is what You can react to, when checking lanes look for simple markers like who's pushed or low on health as this helps You quickly determine which laner is vulnerable to a gank. Fourth, when the gank is considered as a possible gank compare your position to the enemy's jungler position, when the two junglers are the same distance away from a lane counter-ganking is a very real possibility. Fifth, when counter-ganking is possible look for simple advantage and disadvantage. (differences in levels, heath values, and items), However also put in mind that the elements of surprise can be outright strong enough if a counter gank hits after the enemy's jungler puts his skills into cd. Sixth, how a lack of information often leads to mistakes in decision making it put in a tough spot where deciding what to do isn't clear realize You can just keep yourself hidden as this often results in the enemy's jungler revealing themselves first making a mistake and then letting You punish them. Finally, the hope is what You really learned is the value in distilling complicated scenarios into common patterns and how this allows You to make much faster more accurate decisions in real time.
what helped me personally is learning an RTS like Age of Empires II and Starcraft 2. I learned to quickly make decisions while thinking about my opponents strategy and doing repetable tasks (which would be analysing the map and farming). Honestly after i came back to lol i saw a really big increase in my ,,game quickness" and clarity in making my play so i could focus on skillcapped tips
Safe to say, these mind games between junglers don’t apply to anything below diamond, as the junglers just play the map completely at random and are unpredictable. Much like wave management in low elo. Everything is very random. Telegraphed macro play like this is a thing you won’t see in low elo 😂 you might see a laner freezing, but they don’t know why they are freezing that wave at that particular moment.
A challenger player in BR said to look the mini map when you're about to make a decision You wanna fight? Where's enemy mid and jg? You wanna push tower? How many enemies can arrive and contest?
This video is exactly what I needed. As a new jungler, I am always faced with a lot of options and don't know how to prioritize. Love this type of content.
I can't be the only one who noticed the glasses reflection at 00:25 ?? And if I was, I think that deserves a free month of Skill Capped for noticing xD (or to silence me)
this video is extremely good, one thing i think would make it a lot better though is some clips of anda (the player)'s perspective to see how they're clicking and what they're looking at.
An interesting thing is sometimes players can naturally make use of selective information simply because there isn't enough mental bandwidth to process all possible information at a given time. Scrutinizing only the most readily available information is done instinctively. The key is knowing how best to make use of it and thinking a few steps ahead of the opponent. The best use scenario is to simply continue your farming route as it's likely the best way to get some CS while removing the most risk. If your farming route extends into invading the enemy jungle then placing wards in strategic locations should be an automatic priority. Never force a fight nor allow the enemy to initiate the fight - unless there is a clear distinction that you are the victor. Fights should be on your terms. Jungling should be done primarily - from my experience - to put pressure on the enemy. Lanes are usually a back and forth sequence while jungles are more like a chess game. You will have to give up chess pieces and information every now and then in order to execute your master plan. The key is not to let the enemy know what you have in mind. With perfect information, you can plan far far far more in advance than the opponent which makes facing them trivial. Always play around your objectives. You have an objective to take towers, drakes, and heralds, and you can only take those after farming. You should be looking to raise your CS whenever an objective opportunity is not present. Gold and XP gains are MUCH more valuable than risking botching a gank or having a drake stolen. Small decisions like this compound over time and before you know it you will have your mythic before the enemy jungle.
played like 20 jngl games in my life but absolutely captivated by this video! Even though most of these things i kinda knew, but wasn't actively thinking about or didnt full understand
Really nice and informative video. You could've added that it was for jungle only though. I took really valuable material from this but watched the whole video to see if there was more tips for solo lanes and unfortunately there wasn't lol sadge. Keep up the good work guys 💪
“Dont know how to come to a decision” bro for a straight 30 seconds i daddled between either taking grubs, ganking top, or ganking mid…instead my top died, I died in a half assed mid gank which wasn’t really a gank and i had just kinda been walkin in the River caught out and I lost grubs…bruuuh
@@SurriSama probably that all of their videos are a variation of the same clickbait title and the amount of information is useless and inapplicable in 90% of games because it’s all circumstantial
Okay, it's fine and all, but hear me out: At 10:43 You have a slight frame where you see Viego on the minimap, so that changes the perspective in a huge way. First, now you know that they never gank top at this point because they already headed to raptors, so it cancels out the likelihood of any top gank happening. Now correct me if I am wrong, but this means that since You have mid prio with a huge wave crashing turret and Syndra positioning up in lane, You have a great opportunity to just ping syndra to come and collapse on Viego at raptors. And IMO this is a very low risk high reward play since Akali has to clean up the wave crashing or else they lose a ton of CS/xp and You have a high chance of either killing Viego or at least yanking away their raptors / putting them on low HP so they can't gank mid until at least taking their next camp, and then you can just fall back on farming your topside camps. The fact that top has prio also helps on this one. You could say that Viego might have smite, but since they are already pathing downwards, they pbbly smited the big krug.
and then low elo syndra fails to rotate with lane prio while quiyana abandons her wave completely and u die cause u suck lol, i hate being in gold. sure team loses gold from tower, but gold gained from kill evens out if given to midlaner. quiyana starts snowballing on syndra with kill advantage and feels out of jg control at that point.
@@pauljamesmontoya4654 If Syndra doesn't rotate and you see Qiyana leaving mid You can still just go back to your side of the jungle. Since you did that and syndra didn't rotate, wave is pushing back to them and they are in a safer position, and they are aware of where the opponent can come from so if they die to a gank that's completely fine since you did everything in your power. Also even if they chase you and worst case scenario syndra doesnt rotate you still had top prio so top might come and help you, but even if they dont you will just know whom you can't cooperate with from the team and try playing around others.
This also assumes that the enemy jungle has any clue what they are doing, which unfortunately in the lower elo's they do not. I watched a noc go from top get red, drop bottom get blue and then come bot gank...and it worked on my support.
The gank was just an horrible idea, no lvl 6 from your laner and an entire minion wave to farm in the way. You're asking to get punished if you gank this. Syndra should never die there
"look for common patterns" that's a good rule especially when I play full lobby on norms with my friend and try to always help my weakest friend so he will not feed. It works and I just play around my other 2 lanes so they can carry that other person. Thank you!
thats the reason why you watch replays to find patterns so you dont have to think all the time if you have to think first about what you have to do its like playing with a 200 ping
The dumpster fire reflects me and my match history. Been away from the game 7 to 10 years. It's been a rough start back but y'all's videos are helping.
League can best be described as a game about information and resource gathering the more information and resources you have the more likely you are to win
Yeah I dont have these issues, I just play[since 2012], and im not even a jungler, and I won the JG games i played a few days ago easily as sion and wukong . I don't have a jg pat or anything a "typical" jg has. Im a dominion fighter.
The only thing you need to learn: Even after watching this video and mastered everything said, if you are the only player applying all those in your team, you are still going to lose anyway.
When you ask about which lane will be ganked first @1116 the answer I think would be mid because you see red team jg go to raptors when anda moves to wolves if you watch the minimap
I watched the full video and the only useful advice was warding the enemy jungle to know his first side of jungle clearing. I understand that this game is all about tactics and using brain but most of the guide is vague and not give clear bath to take decisive decision.
hey! i really like these videos and i'm trying to follow these guides, that i find very insightful (by the way, i'm the jungler with the dumpster fire matchup history, got demoted from B3 to Iron this week). only one thing, as a non native english speaker, sometimes i find that this narrator, while being very clear, talks a little too fast. I had to watch this video at 0.75 speed. other than that, thanks for the content, i'm really considering picking up the subscription!
this reminds me of a lot of my earlier jungle games. I always played with risk/reward in mind, also with the time management as a jungler, you cant run 30 sec to a gank that likely wont work. also you want to do SOMETHING at all times in lower elo, you will get flamed a lot for farming as a jungler, as nobody watches how their own actions actually prevent you from ganking
I started seeing your videos when I was bronze 3... now im iron 3 going to 4 .....your videos are good, I just dk no more why I sck so hard in this game
Thank you so much!! It just goes to show that league is after 2 years still so full of stuff to learn. Can you make a guide on tower dives? i just usually die trying to kill someone under tower, so i never try it....which seems sad, cause its such a strong technique!!
