Yep, people generally don't talk about these. I use most of those tricks everyday without even thinking about it, never thought it was "advanced" tricks lol
Another thing I remember from another guide I've seen is taking caster minion aggro lvl 1 if your opponent leashes then walk into a brush so one on your melee minion dies really quickly. Basically if untouched all three casters attack a seperate melee minion, but if you take their aggro they don't anymore. They'll miss xp and it makes getting early lvl 2/3 and a cheater recall a lot easier
Videos like this are why I like Skillcapped so much. You guys don't just talk about meta, you bring in valuable information that helps me level up my own gameplay.
I've always used the minions to check aggro but I never consciously thought about it. Same with hitting the buff from over the wall and seeing if it walks away from you, means an enemy champion is closer to the buff than you are. Rest was new information and really cool!
@@Krazymaddog If you're jungling in your enemies' side, this could save you from stumbling upon the enemy jungler and having to 1v1 in the wrong side of the map or could help you locate the enemy jungler hiding in a brush next to a camp in case you were planning to kill them. Not all junglers have skillshots though.
you should do a video about route timers example: base to lane: 27 seconds mid to top/bot:17 seconds Base to drag. it goes on and on I thinks it's very useful, so hope you consider it
@@03VickE3 you can litterly dont know how long it takes because every champion has different movementspeed values + different preffered boots and so on. So yeah, it would be the best if you do it yourself.
@@mauer1 Almost all champions are literally within 5% movement speed of each other. That's 1 out of 20 seconds Would be a great time to also display to us a mini tierlist of movement speed per champ.
@@parisescobar7167 literally all their videos applies to your comment... but not everyone wants to do the boring work. And, you dont need to use practice tool... you can just calculate the movementspeed + mobility abilities divided by the distance (units)
"Secrets kept are weapons wasted." - Zed Splendid job! I understood all of these! But I still suck at basic wave management because it just doesn't click in-game, I need to experiment more and watch less wave management videos xD.
Ticket2Win I know its a joke, but just trying to help: I think the problem with Darius is many people try to all in him, or take too long trading, so he gets like 5 stacks of his passive and then you either back off and let the bleed take most of you hp, or die. Especially early on, his stack does a ton of damage, and you can easily get caught by his e if youre not distancing yourself.
Jungle creeps trick: hit any jngl creep from a distance, if it doesn't get to you, then it will start hitting a hidden nearby enemy. Also dragon although being hit by you, might occasionally start attacking elswhere, an enemy that is hidden in, say, dragon bush (Ocean effect). Another jngl creep trick is to leave one creep if you do enemy birds for instance, this will get the camp to not reset, and instead be stuck until that one last bird is killed. Another jngl trick is getting gromp with blue meeting in middle, or red and birds. Just be careful so they don't rest because of being out of their spawn area. Also hitting and walking helps you take less damage from buffs, and Q-ing as Master Yi when buffs/Herald are about to hit will help delay/dodge. Also for Herald, always hit the eyes that opens in its back, whether it be a Herald to be taken, or a Herald summoned by an enemy.
No Clickbait at all. These tricks are actually insanely useful. These skillcapped guides have been super helpful and educatice over the time. I'm super appreciative for you guys sharing your knowledge.
Low Elo player here (one step away from gold!) - I just wanted to pop in and say thanks for the guides. I’ve knoticed my attacking game go up tremendously within one match. I say and think, my defense has been stellar but my attack game, has been sucky to say the least. I’m now able to stick to a lane and fight it out, make better decisions to keep my on minions while destroying others, and pushin verious ways more effectively (I love getting minions to follow me in the bushes while my minions cash a tower 🤣). I am usually trying to manage all the lanes in low elo because it doesn’t seem many players respect minions and there power. This doesn’t lead me to getting a lot me killed champions, but I like winning and destroy champs is only one objective. - I would like to get better at knowing when to help my team and when to not because I find myself trying to push a lane or two while my team is in a big fight. I’ve been playing Twisted Fate as support and loving it! I’m can be wicked as I jump from lane to lane and back down to defend my turret.
@7:10 I got to do this a few times... This is when you didn't push last wave fast enough and your intention was to crash it, when realizing you cant, the lane is screwed, so you die to tower early if no one has attacked you in the last 15 seconds and execute, you get a faster recall and movement speed boost back to lane and a great lane state. The clip in the video i believe was before the move speed buff on respawn was a thing, but due to the short death timer he should've done it anyways so he doesn't risk dying to someone else, or getting his recall canceled, or a slower recall in general (time going to a place to recall + 8 seconds + time to heal before leaving base)
Can you do a video about using fog of war and ganking from sidelane bushes as well as from the alcoves? I often hesitate if I'm in the fog of war or if I'm seen by the enemies, same when I attempt to gank by going in botlane bushes when the minion wave is pushed, then going in the alcove to gank from an unexpected place
Quick tip: Just look how far you can look into the fog of war on your mirrored side of the map. Thats exactly the vision range for the enemy aswell. So if you are in the bot alcove, see how far the FoW stretches for your teammate in the top alcove.
@@ExcelarionEntertainment The vision provided by the minions and by my allies ruins it though. I can pretty much tell if I'm in fog of war or not but I want to know the limits of it
I’ve watched most of the minion waves pushing pulling freezing videos from you guys and honestly now I think I see what separates higher elo players from low elo players and I am astounded
This channel is *S. U. P. E. R.* helpful, Not just this channel but all of skillcapped. Helped me worh both League and VALORANT. You know it’s legit when the complement is emphasized
These tips were so helpfull, the High IQ freeze denial seems a bit tricky to apply without inting but I sure hope to be able to eventually as enemies freezing the wave for free is one of my biggest problems in lane atm. Thank you for the amazing free content!!
Feels really good to recognize some of these tricks as I used some of them before I even learned wave management. Only thing I needed was proper execution
There is another small but important one where u can set up a freeze with mirrored minions if you block their straight path to the lane by going into them or stand in their way. The minions will circle around you and delay their time of getting in range to attack enemy minions. (Doesn't work if you block the first 1-2 minions as they will collide more in your half of the side, which makes your next wave collide faster and start slowpushing) :)
Video idea: differences between aspects / traits in the game and which is more useful in scenarios. example: lethality vs armor pen vs bork / on hit, life steal items (BT) vs deaths dance, flat move speed vs % move speed, rune differences too and which is more effective, like how much does ravenous hunter really heal? does tenacity stack? how much tenacity is good to stack / max? max armor pen or lethality? armor pen vs black cleaver, im sure theres alot of more you guys could look into
A tip : point 4 and 3 are linked together, you take aggro at first wave by poking enemy(in mid is supereffective, you can prock manaflowband too), then build up a big wave to "cheater recall"
Awesome video! I know some of these already but there's definitely some i learnt after watching it realizing i sometimes do these as well. Can't wait for next video great content as always
Would you guys make a guide on wave management specifically for the botlane? Some times it's very hard to control a wave in a 2v2 lane and a good video made for that would help us a lot. Anyway tank you, awesome video as always😀
I'm not sure about the minion sweeping trick so much, what i noticed is that minions tend to drop agro (if you're not activelly triggering it, eg fighting enemy champion) as soon as your minions aproach close. So with xerath, i think that melee minion would still turn to attack his melee even if it was warded (maybe it's proximity based, if there is no agro-trigger minion will attack closest enemy unit in his lane, so if your minion gets closer than you are, that will drop the agro from you - messing the sweeping effect). I'll probably have to fiddle with this in practise tool to see how exactly it works.
Such a quality content! Incredible how some "6TH TIERLIST OF 10.12 !1!1!!1!1!1!" can get so many views and this, highly useful video with lot of work gets so much less. You doing a super useful job for all of us, guys!😍😍
You can also freeze by draging minion agro and going to bush and enemy minions will be grouped and your wont resulting a slow push towards you. Works in mid lane the best. Junglers use it most of time after ganking if both mid laners die.
RE: 7:09 freeze denial. I think it would actually have been better by riven to execute to tower there. saves you recall time plus you get death homeguards nowadays.
I seriously practiced this for maybe two games after watching this video mind you I have had had little sleep in my hands were freezing and after those two games of practice I could tell the difference in the oppression against my enemy later and how this affected the whole game
well, as a ex-toplane main i did all this stuff most of the time, but when all your teammates lose their lanes there is nothing you can do, unless you play a hypercarry toplane like jax, fiora, etc. Theoretically spoken it looks easier to do than it is
For the last one if you aa the ground in a bush, your champion wont make an attack unless the enemy team has vision on you( so you csn chack for vsision even when the minions can t aggro you(your wave oe someting else is already there)
I do most of these, don’t check minion advantage though. I think one key thing is after a fight breaks out what to do, is it safe to push? Better to recall?
Damn, i knew all of this already. On 4 I expected you to talk about how letting a ranged champion hit you, as a melee, enables you to pull the lane, thus gaining space to all in by letting your opponent push. This is especially important for toplane
Also, another tip that I encountered myself, is the pyke trick. Notice how Pyke passive heals him? You need to be not seen by the enemy right? So, what I do is take some damage and go on a bush, If I DONT HEAL that means enemy has vision on that bush.
Guys, I don't know if you already have a guide like this but it would be nice if you make a video explaining how the minion aggro works. It would be so helpful to those (like me) who don't know why your cannon minion stops hitting the high-hp melee minion and started to hit that caster minion that you're waiting to lasthit xD
the only one i knew already was the last one but I never actually applied that to my gameplay, I just knew that minion aggro in bush meant there was a ward there
I recently learned how to properly freeze the lane. I always freeze the lane on side lanes when there aren't any objectives to take, and in low elo if you know how to freeze you can see the enemy getting frustrated because I can easily deny them cs, they force fights they can't take even though they could've easily just break the freeze.
Being a support main i already learned this back when i had auto attack on. I noticed that i would auto attack of a bush was warded (back then i was nami and sona main) or melee minions would run to me if i was Alistair when it was warded.
You forgot one more trick. Level 1 but you can do on any levels mostly on top, you would walk towards the opponent's side getting aggro before wave crashes in the middle. What this does is the wave gets pulled on the opponent's side which means it will push the wave to you without doing anything which would be able to set up a freeze eventually.
8:20 but couldn't have malzahar potentially just recall after shoving in the cannon wave and then tp back? If he did that he could have secured a freeze on the next wave(if zilean pushed the wave which he does in this replay) and with Lee being around mid he could have used the freeze to set up a gank or just deny cs. Since malz has summoner spellbook he could have then picked another summoner like ignite exhaust or anything else. What do you think?
I used to use minion as a sweeper when I was 10 but since 11 I literally play brain deadly as a bronze and forgot about that thing I learnt from myself, luckily this video helped me remember it xd ( I have played league since 7 and I'm now 14 but I'm still hard stucking at gold 1 lmao )
Where can I find These fundamentals you are Talking about in the beginning? I just started playing and every guide on RU-vid feels like they expect me to know this kind of stuff alteady
