  1. The guide its ok but your mistake is taking the team as an intelligent group who knows when to fight, if u go for a free wave they fight and lose, after dragon it becomes aram on mid until someone dies, its rlly hard if u r not mechanically good, at the end u climb but until plat 1/ diamond they just fight for no reason xd.(spanish speaker just in case.)

  2. It seems like people are still watching this video these days, so I'll give this advice:
    ———————————————————————————————————————————–
    If you don't want to fight; ping a caution at the potential fight, then ping an on-my-way where you're going. This is the safest way to clearly communicate your intentions before your teammates get into a stupid fight while you aren't there. They see by your pings that you know the fight could start and that you think it's a bad fight, and where you think you should be right now. They know you aren't just leaving them to die — you just pinged them to be careful. Typing things in chat is slow, prevents you from responding if ambushed, and invites teammates to join you in talking instead of focusing on the game. You aren't trying to start a discussion. You are just calling your play — you are pushing a lane, so you won't be coming to any fight that starts.

    If you need ridiculously high farm numbers in order to function as an ADC, take a close look at your build and build order. You might be making life harder on yourself than it needs to be. An ADC actually can get plenty of agency with just one completed item, if it's the correct item. Your first item (and boots) will complete at around 14-15 minutes even if you die once or twice, and can be gotten at 10-12 minutes if you instead get a kill or two. Your second item will sometimes not complete until around 20 minutes (aka; games when you aren't fed), so it's actually your second item components and not the completed second item that is most important to how strong you are. So if you need a certain item before you are strong, don't leave that item for second or third. Build it right away. Then choose a second item that has useful components so that you continue to get stronger fluidly. At 20 minutes with just 2 items and boots, you should already be a nightmare for the enemy team — and if you aren't, change your core items because your build is at least 5 minutes too slow to come online.

    Don't try to 1v5; not these days. We are now in Season 11, where ADC's main role is tank killer and the role is no longer grossly OP compared to other roles. Your job is to shadow your team's cc and follow through on their engages, not to initiate fights yourself or try to 1v1 split pushers. Your main advantage is how far away you can stand as you murder target after target without using any mana or abilities, which no other role can do — basically your job is to be a source of damage for your team that can operate without taking as much risk as other types of champions. You need someone to keep your target off of you, as most ADCs have either nothing to self peel or just one button that isn't quite reliable. Don't fight alone.

    If you get super-fed, don't keep buying offense. Your bounty is now huge, and you already have enough items to get kills. Build some defense so that you don't die and throw the game. Being ahead means a longer death counter when you get picked off. Be easier for your team to protect by protecting yourself. You know why your 20/0/7 ADC seems so easy to kill? It's because you have about 170 extra health over your ADC when you go 0/7/0, that's why. Use some of your gold on defensive stats, and suddenly those 20 kills do mean something when it comes to how hard you are to kill.

    Give your support gold, and encourage them to build to do damage. In Season 11 especially, supports that don't contribute offensively tend to throw away winnable games. Don't be entirely selfish with farm or kills. Push for tower plates aggressively, which is where supports get a lot of their gold. If your support falls behind, you as an ADC can be royally screwed later in the game when you need to 1v5 but can only 1v2 because you have an underfed underpowered support.

    Good luck out there on the rift.

  3. 6:00 while you’re right just go ahead and mute global chat to avoid seeing the flame for them doing a failed roflcopter 4v5. I loved to respond with, “how’s it my fault you lost the fight? I wasn’t even there to mess it up!” :p

  4. I find most of the instruction and in-gane comments for LoL are of the form: don't do that. It is more helpful to state what should be done, since stating a thing not to do doesn't tell what you should do out of the other hundred things available.
    There should be a better codification of fundamentals, commandments, decision processes for different areas of the game, instead of having to look all over for random videos (free) or having to pay subscriptions or for one of hundreds of videos at a time. What LoL needs is a bool or series of LoL Fundamentals for Dummies. 🙂 No offense intended, Skill Capped.

  5. Oh these are gold 4s in the Ashe clip? Oh yeah they will fight for sure and it's basically your fault for not being there for that 5% chance you can turn the entire fight. They will rage on you and this has been a major issue in league because people actually got better.

    In the past it wouldn't really matter if you are 1v9 in gold 5, cause you would crush them with the right champ. Which rarely has been Ashe btw. (yeah give us 5 divisions back)

  6. Wish my team knew, as a shaco I can quickly push a dude lane, forcing the enemy team to send sunshine than the team can engage in mid lane while I come and help but why would they do that in low elo, they point me to come to mid to direct a 5v5 or if u push a side lane, they rather than defending, go start a 4v5 battle 😑😑😑 and than blame me, the Jungler for not being there….. Like we aren't winning a 5v5 so why are we trying to force it, let me push the side lane with objective and than we can fight when but noooo, why should they do that?? We needs to aram it and just take a risk of either winning/losing the 5v5 because why should they use their brain??

  7. The worst is always catching a good wave and a ton of gold while behind only for your team to go in acting like they're ahead and dying. "If only we had a ad we win". Like yeah, me tickling them with my half completed item is gonna turn the tide.

  8. I'm getting exponentially better at farming under tower, until my smoothbrain random support decides to attack the minions under tower, destroying my mapping

  9. In the second example the Ashe will get yelled at and blamed. Being a low elo player she assumes they were right and starts making different (worse) decisions in the next game. Unfortunately bad players create bad players. This is why people get elo trapped.

  10. "What do you think shouldve happened???"
    "WRONG, because its 930am in finland and fish dont drink, how could you not have guessed exactly what i was suggesting shouldve happened?!"

    Lucian gets murdered in jg at krugs by yone and jinx and the rotating enemy team whos not anywhere near vision. His mistake was not just leaving. Quit bsing.

  11. Blindly pushing with no fucking vision (while being worth a lot of gold as well) to get an extra wave of cs after rakan has just cleared your only ward in bot lane, simply cos at a glimpse you saw some champs in some lanes at different times, is a good idea??? Um? It takes ANYONE in mid maybe 10 seconds to run down to bot with t2 boots. If Rakan has a brain you're dead. Sorry, this video's first 2 minutes were an eyesore.

  12. Wouldn't it be much more professional, friendly and more helpful to change a little bit the title fron reasons you suck to ways you can do to get better at farming? Cause with those titles you sound like arrogant pricks
