Whoever posted that support tip video, thanks, the triangle visualisation has been really helpful to give my movement purpose and a way to tell when I'm in danger outside of instinct from painful experience. I feel there's a lot of practice from that 5 minutes video.pog boyfriend posted:listen, i love volibear, and if i can beat diamond/plat opponents on volibear in my weakened state you can too. volibear has a lot of room for skill expression, just not necessarily mechanical execution. love the bear But it's not the weekend?

I loving hate Sett, he counters Volibear top pretty hard since he tends to activate shield when he is low at health, which is when I want to use W to end him. Also, if I ban Fiora I get Urgot, I ban Urgot I get Fiora. Life is hard. At least with Darius I can punish them if they play bad, but those champs are just insta win lane most games.

Better to be dodged, but not always easy if standing in minion wave

He stands still during cast, so you can literally walk past him to avoid damage. The problem is the shield mostly.

Stuff It, I'm in the mood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6LTkhoCOqg This game was bad. I was flustered, I CS'd like poo poo and died multiple times where I shouldn't have. We surrendered at 15 and 20 but neither went through. But my big focus and what I'm worried/looking for advice on is my decision making. Did I make calls that were bad inherently, or were they just bad in the moment?

you spent a lot of time moving into enemy spells in the first 5 minutes that resulted in losing like half your health to grab a minion that could have waited, and you didnt really harass the enemy laner much. A lot of your movement was oddly linear too even throughout the game where you'd back yourself up against a wall or between the wall and turret

also the rumble gank was telegraphed and putting the trap down was only going to guarantee your death. Since you were in his attack range and outside your trap range I would have just kept walking and blown e/flash as desired. in general i'd try to be more aware of my positioning as it relates to enemy spells

Pre 1:30, either sit in a river bush or near entrance to blue, no need to waste your ward. If you want to invade just walk with them. When you're leashing, if you're walking the safe way, may as well stand in the bush to charge headshot. Early laning Veigar being gone/having no flash is a problem, but the enemies aren't punishing you. Starting at 2:10 you can and should be autoing the wave, especially when Veigar is sitting in the bush zoning. 2:16 especially is a good example of a time when you're under no threat and should be pushing - now is the time to auto minions/q the wave freely. 2:20 is too late, you walk up (further than you need to to hit that ranged minion) while MF is walking up. This means she can hit you while you're csing, and then, since you have no wave, while she does, and you just used your damage ability, while she has two, she can just free hit you all the way back to tower. At that point, the minions are hitting tower anyway, if you just walk to tower you can cs no problem. Also part of why it's better not to q, because you don't want to mess up the minion hp. Basically, level 1 bot lane you want to push the wave for level 2. If that's not an option, you have to back off the wave if they hit it first - it will hit tower, so you shouldn't lose xp. In this case it even stopped outside tower range, mostly -- this means you can push just enough to keep it there, which makes the enemy team vulnerable to ganks and means you don't have to even worry about csing under tower. In general, use your q's more deliberately - a lot of the time it seems like you're either going for kind of random harass, or trying to kill minions that you could just auto down later. You want to harass the enemy AD when they're about to cs - they're going to stand still to auto, and can't hit back immediately. As Cait, you should also look to harass when your headshot is up -- it's a v foolproof way to win an auto trade. More generally, you want to trade when you have more minions than them, esp more casters. On Cait in particular, you can use your traps to funnel them into position to get hit - ie, along a wall, next to tower, etc. Just going through in order, at 2:50 for example you q a cannon at your tower for no reason -- you're going to get it either way, you're just wasting mana/cd! At 4:50 similarly by q'ing the wave you deny yourself a set of casters by qing them before they hit tower. Basically, if you're in a spot where you have to play defensively, 1) make sure you don't mess up the cs under tower 2) use abilities intentionally 3) don't fight into minion waves, let them crash and I guess 4) you can still play up when they walk back for no reason etc. This was going to be a pretty tough early lane either way ofc, and I'm sure there's a lot more later on, but there's a lot to work on just in the first few levels/with basic laning. Definitely work on trap usage to make space, it's a huge part of playing cait effectively.

In general it is important to understand how much a level makes in the difference between your power and the enemies'. Having access to Q W and E is hugely important in actually winning fights, so much so that it's important to keep track after level 3 of what cooldowns your opponents used so you know if you have an advantage if you engage a fight onto them. very nice i like posted:also the rumble gank was telegraphed and putting the trap down was only going to guarantee your death.

First promo mid laner leaves right when laning phase starts, doesn't get level 2. We cannot rematch. Second game I lane against a Vladimir and their team has a proactive Xin and we have a farming attack speed (note, not actually good like AP) Shyvana. What can I do solo vs. a Vladimir? I feel like he can dodge all my all ins, harass me to no end, farm even close to my turret etc. I feel quite helpess. Is there some way to punish him in laning phase? I went PRA, Triumph, Coup, Second wind, Demolish. Attack speed, MR and MR. EDIT: Honestly, Could I lose a little less than 40LP at next run if my teammate left before 5 minutes in one of my games? So harsh. Midig fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Jan 23, 2020 |

Vlad has extremely high cooldowns, every time he uses Q understand that he's vulnerable for about 8 seconds and use that time to take a trade or at least zone him off CS. Also when you're about to get a gank try to bait out his pool before the jungler comes because they will invariably throw their engage tool on him immediately and let him get away for free if you dont

Problem is that Voli also has long QDs unfortunately. Upon looking at that game. I got MR boots thinking that would solve the issue. I honestly think either going spectre cowl before boots or executioners would have been more successful. Maybe even ignite to increase kill pressure. Even if I got no kills I could at least have zoned him out of CS and gotten a lead that way.

I'm a fan of specter's cowl into those kind of matchups but you're more or less conceding winning the lane if you buy it (with the tradeoff of making it very easy to go mostly even) but I feel like voli should be able to win that matchup? Like I don't play voli at all so maybe I'm totally off-base here but the similar champs I play (garen, darius, etc) are either skill matchups or favored vs vlad. I hate to say Get Good but my gut tells me you should be able to beat him just building normally

I will probably review that game, I just can't tell if it was lack of aggression or too much that lost me the game. That being said I didnt get ganks and their top did and it was a Xin nontheless. That is the nature of top though, sometimes you get really good ganks and you can spread your lead and other games you don't and you got to create pressure anyways.
