Why a Challenger Gets FLAMED By His GOLD Elo Support! 

Uncover the SECRETS to CARRYING BAD TEAMMATES at: www.skill-capped.com/lol 💪💪💪💪

Shoutout to the heimerdinger who had an entire guide basically called him a flaming douchebag

One time I was flamed for not being at teamfight because I was defending nexus from split pusing fiora. Funny enough it wasn't a teamfight for an objective, it was just 4 teammates mindlessly going top for no reason and getting stomped by fed enemy team

The most frustrating part of solo queue is the fact that your team mates expect you to follow their calls (and flame you if you don't) while always blatantly ignoring any calls anyone other than themselves make.

The most annoying thing about low elo flamers is that once they get upset once, EVERYTHING you do is wrong for some reason. Even if it's not your fault... Bot died in a gank while you were top farming Gromp? Well, guess all your calls are bad and you don't deserve

The tip on "understanding why you're making your choices" that lifelong advice, not just for the game. People don't respect "understanding" things, so if anything happens, it happened "out of nowhere" relinquishing any accountability

I love the ending of this guide, because as they are winning and super ahead the support is calling to surrender because in his mind the best player in the team is bad. I bet after the game he says the sivir was carried, dude literally throws an ff vote with 2 inhibs down with a CHALLENGER player in his team.

Imagine being an innocent bystander, and Hector stomps your team in ranked for a skill capped guide

One thing i dont like about this video is that i didnt see Sivir ping once for his team to back off. If you see a potential danger they dont and are not willing to commit to a play they want atleast what you can do is ping for them to go back. Now if they listen, cool, if not, it doesnt change the outcome of you making a different play. Its like 2 seconds to spam ping quickly. Pings can get ignored but they also helped in so many situations.

These types of players prefer to lose LP just so they can flame you and feel good about their petty little selves rather than actually win and improve. It's quite phenomenal

Whenever I back, and the team is pinging me to stay, if I decide to back anyway, I ping them off. It doesn't usually matter, but, if I ping them back up a couple times while I'm channeling and a couple times after I got back to fountain, I gave them every chance to notice I'm not going to be there and then notice that I'm actually not there. Then when they say "why did you back?!?!?!"

How to play a team game: ignore your teammates

I legitimately hit gold for the first time just a few weeks ago following your advice! I get a ton of teammates flaming and pinging but that's par for the course. I'm so happy to be doing better in ranked, even if I just watch the free videos from RU-vid

It feels like sometimes the goal of adc is just to farm the whole game until you you're fed enough to carry one team fight that ends the game

Some times I feel I am stupid for doing some stuff that my whole team disagrees. I've been a challenger from season 3 through season 5, quit the game for quite a lot of time and now I am mechanically stuck on diamond/low master. Most of the time I just ignore them, but it happens so often that even when I am 3 levels ahead of my lane opponent and I am being pinged, I really feel like something is off. Watching these guides from people that do this for living and confirming that, even tho I have bad games, most of my decisions are correct, just make me realize that elo hell will never end until im high challenger again.

Tip for low elo recalls: You can hold Alt and click on almost any button/number/picture to post it in chat. Ping your gold amount, mana, the item you want to buy, ults cooldowns, ward charges, and whatever other reason you want. Then, ping the recall button. You have plenty of time during the recall animation. Giving out reasons helps them understand why and think along your brain. In fact, feel free to point these things out even when not recalling, during ping exchanges.

Great Guide, however, I think some low elo players are so quick to follow on bad calls because you're often told that a bad play executed together is still better than the "right play". Another reason might be because they aren't using their critical thinking skills.

My Macro isn't great but this perfectly describes my life as an adc main and brings light to why I stopped climbing when I started listening to all the call they talked about. It was a perfect depiction of 90% of my games!

Its actually very similar in Dota when you convert this onto the Game. Especially from the Gameplay mentality this is really fascinating. What i teach new players usually is to play every role to some degree, you don't need to play the Role on the Level equally to your rank but you need to understand other roles and see Gameplay out of their perspective. You get automatically a much more clean and rational view on the Game. I am mainly playing Support in Dota, we have 2 Support Roles generally speaking, our Pos 4 what in League is the jungle is in Dota more of a second Support who lanes with the Offlane and most of the time enables plays for the team. Making calls for your team is good, but you need to have a good understanding of it though. I am mainly playing Position 5 and Support the Carry, of course i have my opinion on things and i sometimes get frustrated when we don't punish mistakes, but in the end that is irrelevant, if i see my Carry does weird things then i just clinge myself onto my other heroes and play the 4-1 System (which is in Dota in higher ranked pubs very common). You group up as 4 and let the ADC or Carry farm. Alternatively you can also play the 3-2 depending on the picks. Of course league is different in regard, since i am playing league on a relatively low level (circling around Gold 1 - Platinum 4) since i don't know every in and out of the Game and do also a lot of bad mistakes its difficult for me, since i am bad at calculating plays and Damage outputs. Another tip i would give to players, be concious about your weaknesses and spot players in your Game that seem to be more comfortable and better in things you aren't so good at. Play around your strengths and use them!

This is one of the most important videos on the channel for low elo players. This type of things happen CONSTANTLY, and I've always been conflicted on wether to follow my teammates or follow proper gameplan.

I love adding the randoms here you call out and telling them about the videos

Hey skill capped, I just want to say thank you, The advice that you gave in this video was very helpful to me in many areas in my life, These principles are very transferable to learning other things: - self focus: focusing on what YOU want to do, YOUR gameplan, and sticking to it. Don’t allow yourself to be pulled into doing what others want you to do simply because you want their approval. Don’t try and please others, compare yourself to others, or prove yourself to others (doing all of this tends to lead to a painful learning process), instead be very self-focused (this means focusing on what you’re doing, not what someone else is doing) - focusing on growth vs. focusing on results (results oriented thinking): when you only measure your progress based on your results, it can make you think that you’re “winning” (because you got good results) when you're actually “losing” in the long term, because you’re not learning anything - know what you want to do & why: Understanding WHY you want to make your decision will help you to stay focused if/when others are ridiculing you for your choice. Thinking through your decision before you do it, is much better than simply going with the flow of what others want to do, and not knowing why you are doing it. You need to actually think about your decisions before you make them Accidentally stumbling into the right decision sometimes won’t help you grow/progress When I was younger I used to play basketball, (which is also a 5v5 game) but when I played I was very focused on pleasing others, and I constantly switch my game plan to try and do what others wanted me to do, It made the learning process very stressful, and I wish I had understood and implemented this advice when I was learning to “climb” faster and enjoy the process more I was so attracted to this channel (even though I don’t play league currently) because you guys have truly mastered the art of teaching in a simple, succinct, and easy-to-understand way, not to mention having high quality production and visuals (for visual learners like myself) and great, (at times) universally applicable advice.

08:00 The malphite analogy is exactly what a friend of mine does every time he plays malphite or any big engage champ. 😂 He runs in randomly, ults and then spam pings everyone asking why we didn't follow. Meanwhile we're literally on the other side of the map, taking turrets and stuff just laughing at him.

I started to play like this this season (idk know why, it just happened) and it feels so much better. Even when I lose my lane, I mostly don't have more than 3 deaths and more farm than my enemy and it's so much more fun that way :D Even though it's still hard when you face a 10/0 Top and jgl after 5 minutes lol

needed to hear that as a adc thank you!

Send this video to Heimer pls xD

Problem is typically all gold adc seem to think they are the master/chall adc when in reality they are simply making bad calls

I remember playing yuumi and being flame by my ADC for ditching him to follow Irelia...who was fed and carried the game

needed this yall the best guys

Such a nic vid. Great job Hector and the commentator :D

Something I've noticed is that Hector doesn’t ping their teammates to tell them that they shouldn’t keep going, IMO he should be pinging to tell them not to engage because it’s not worth ir

Sometimes my support starts to roam for no reason, or my team starts to fight with no objectives in mind, just trying to get kills, I usually try to keep farming but then they start to flame me, so I go and join them and then we all die and I fall behind even more.

as a diamond player its so funny being flamed for making the right decision in gold or lower. they're gold or lower for a reason they don't understand the game. if you're not at minimum platinum if you're trying to improve never listen to your teammates. macro in gold and lower is absolutely atrocious they'll make the wrong choice almost every time.

the montage is really good like the sounds effect ( and the "trap" starwars meme xDDD)

2:32 I like the way you teach here, more guide videos plz, thanks

Be honest what did vector say to that heimerdinger after the match?

Im usually the one getting calls 😔😔😔 i usually think its pretty easier to force objectives to make the other team have to always face decisions

Diamond 4 ADC main here, I got super flamed by a bronze 1 player for not buying LDR on Ezreal and having serylda's. It's real amusing watching the low elo bains go boom trying to comprehend our decisions

Sometimes I'm boosting my friends and I see low elo in person. When players don't listen calls like objectives, or idea of not taking all fights possible. That warding is important, and when you don't see enemy on the map, you should assume they are close to you so you should run back.

Got to master în my 3rd season and i decided to play in low elo for the preseason to help my friends. I get triple the amount of hate when i try to push when i want to take objectives. The ego some players have in this elo. Lol

What do you do when that same support starts sabotaging the game? Like literally they do all that pinging then start stealing farm and or follow you around to steal farm. What do you do in those situations? Is there a video for that.

Most unskilled, untalented players are spending time reacting by complaining and whining, while totally being unaware of their countless weaknesses and shortcomings. Which is the same reason why they stay stagnant. It's a catch-22 most people never break their whole lives.

i love this shot with people over 40 talking about league

Still make sure that your teammates know what you are doing though. Always ping them back if you think they are making a mistake.

/mute all is still proving to be the best feature in game,13 seasons STRONG

0:00 And every jungler knows the pain of being flamed by their team for existing

What is the name of the song in the background of this video?

The main takeaway is that you can listen to your teammates, but only if you see sense in that

i was flamed for killing minions with that one support item. And for "stealing" kills with pyke R. And for sacrificing myself to defend my adc worth 400 gold. And for NOT sacrificing myself when i was worth 300G and my adc was useless. Being a support is hell

I mean, to be fair there could be a lot that Sivir could say. Letting your team know your intentions can save them from baiting themselves

Every meta is team fighting meta in low elo. ᕙ⁠(⁠ ͡⁠◉⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠◉⁠)⁠ᕗ

I love how the heimer said "stop farming" like that's not the ADCs main job

Real nice, personally I wouldnt have baited myself for baron since I'm just playing with a bunch of animals that wont make use of baron anyone because they try to buff the jungle camps it seems and I need to guide them towards the enemy nexus like an elo cowboy with my horses and donkeys

"It's not that I can't hear you, I'm just actively ignoring you"

I wanna add this guy on league and send him the link to the video and the comments roasting him XD

Most of the calls I ever make is for people to back off, I ping danger on them at lest twice. Often it's 2 people trying to push in as their team revives, or our team is doing other things split and someone is pushing up with no team pressure. I make sure to ping well before it's too late and not when they are getting attacked or dead. I feel like everyone likes having a team mate like that to remind you to look at your gosh darned map.

As a Challenger for last 3 years I can confirm that even tho challengers and high rank player tend to flame from time to time that is nothing compare to > Gold - Diamond < ranks when flame is a base attachment to the matches. I was playing on a fresh account ( Aphelios / Zoe / Lissandra Main ) ( started in Silver ) and people not only didn't understand how to play with Aphelios but tend to flame me for not following their poor & bad calls. They always wanted to fight & fight and never take the game slowly - especially when you have scaling champions that simply early sucks. Not only that, people don't know how to execute their calls and execute objectives. For them - definition of winning the game is being 20/0 and nothing more. Not to mention lack of map awarness, lack of vision score, poor Itemization and much more. I was surprised and still am surprised that people really waste their time to type in the chat instead of actually playing the game and giving their best to win the game even if their were losing early. (The flame was so strong and the ping were so insanely annoying that I had to /mute all to be able to play the game. We won BUT my teammates were asking to report me for "trolling"?) But people will always find someone else to flame and blame than themselves. Also Ego of the players - is way too high then their actual skill & knowledge of the game. Sometimes you carry the game and sometimes you're the one being carried. Nothing is wrong with that - but its a good moment for you to improve even more and be a better version of yourself IN and OUTSIDE of the game.

Hey man, you have a video where you say quite the oposite. Which one shall we mind?

thx i've always been following ppl

As a prior support, the support's only job is to support not dictate.

What does your website offer that we don't get from your videos? Genuinely curious but I'm at work.

I like the end a lot. It also is an amazing tip for in real life. You will never learn if you are controlled by other people.

I once got flamed for not ganking top. I just finished red, we were blue side.

3:12 maybe the best tip I have heard so far.

My teammates love to make the choice feeding the enemy team from champion select. they are so good atr this.

3:15 is exactly what heimer's in mind. if another player applied this to himself, it will just get worse 😂

What about the times they contest objectives even iif they can't win 5v5 instead of trading?

I usually have an adc that either never groups so we lose or always group so we lose. Just why can't they do both

My decision making skills: "If we go together we're more likely to succeed"

I was playing shen top one yesterday and I got flamed for not ulting into a fight that left all four enemies at basically full health

Imagine being the guy that spam pings the adc who then 1v2s the lane you died in seconds after he gets back 😂

Spot on video. Ty

Seeing the new ping animations make me feel old

I don't know about this guide chief. The only reason this style of gameplay works is because Sivir is a challenger player in gold, I don't think your average plat adc can solo carry a game by hoarding gold for himself.

I REALLY hope they sent this video to that feeding Heimerdinger

Literally the only person I trust when playing Leg is my DuoQ partner. And a lot of that's because we've been playing leg together for years and are mostly on the same page. It says something when being able to trust (1) teammate with basic tasks makes the game so much more enjoyable.

at the end of every game like this, you should tell them you are a Challenger and making a video for Skill-capped lol

One time I was flamed for 1v5 defending my nexus while my team was fighting baron and elder drag at the same time. They died to both objectives

Thank you ezreal for the advice

At least he had teammates making calls.

It's almost every other game these days if you do something against a toxic tilted players judgement they will just aimlessly run around blowing summs for the next 15 minutes. So very common it's hard to want to queue up anymore.

gold platinium elo is pretty funny, smuring from master and being called "hardstuck plat", I love that lmao

I don't need this guide, but his voice is nice to listen to 🤣

That's why i never play botlane, you need to type fast /mute all

Hats off to the editor on this video.

Easy fix for all of this = /mute all at the start of every game just unmute the jgl pings so you see his Gank

I usually play champs im comfortable with in ranked games while mastering others in normals to keep relying on supports on minimum.

Wish i heard this advice years ago while i was still playing. I played adc because i had heard it was the hardest role and i love challenge. Little did i know it wasnt mechanically hardest, but hardest because your support is gonna bait your ass all day and you are reliant on your jungler and support to keep you in the game most of the time. So it has nothing to do with you and everything to do with your low elo teammates. Needless to say i kept dropping in rank and eventually quit league, haha. I didnt have the skills to realize what was wrong, but now it all makes sense.

Not gonna lie, hector not typing, pinging and communicating is also the reason why they lost. If you ARE confident in your decisions, at least ping and tell them. Some are smart enough to listen, although most are still too dumb to listen.

As a top lane main when i play in low elo and make good macro decisions for my team they think it's bad like me taking 2 towers in exchange for 1 dragon when my jungler and mid is dead they want to 3v5 without our jungler for 1 dragon even in high diamond it sometimes happens bruhhh bruhhhhh

Imo: At 18.35 if you think you can take rift you should go. If you think it's 50-50%, then better force enemies to come bot to def and no team takes and you take the gold.

The biggest problem is you have to go with your team mates dumb plays or they'll start inting out of their mind, at least in bronze/silver, lucky his support was gold. You have to at least PRETEND that you're doing what your team mates want, so they don't throw.

I’m watching this video after I already watched many of others on your channel and after I tried put my new experiences into practice and completely solo carried the game using the same decisions like hektor in this video. This video was like watching my replay of that game with commentary. Thank you, thank you so much for your videos that are very helpful. The only problem I got is that my brain need full focus to do the right decisions and after two games I need a big break :D 28yo doesn’t help either. So the climbing will be slow but the climb is real. And I’m definitely playing much much better then my teammates while I’m full focused. Thank you again for doing this.

would've been hilarious to see that heimer damage and score after game kekw

When I do this my team die instantly and then I can't recall before getting killed

Yup, literally lost my lane because I tried to fix Jinx's lane too many times. First 5 minutes of the game I was 1 0 3 leading all lanes in gold. End of the game I was 2 5 10 with least gold and Jinx 0 12 3. Sometimes you should just ignore bad players and focus on your own game like this video suggests 💪🏼

this was honestly refreshing

An actual fun guide.

Everyone forgets that it's an OBJECTE GAME not TEAM DEATHMATCH.

The sentence if your teammates make poor decisions and die it doesn’t matter if you stick to the fundamentals hits different when you stomp top and suddenly go up against the 16/0 adc
