Um can I send a reply of my gameplay but it's from Wildrift?.I'm recently hit masters rank and blazing throught it last night with 10 winstreak (it stopped after that). I'm 11 wins away from hitting grandmasters and I'm a support main and I wanna polish my skill even more.

Tbh I think this js the only guide on the whole youtube that every needs to watch to improve

love the obi pic on the high ground

You a real one for this

The Leblanc tip and the ward tip were actually insane to me. 9 years in this game and I didn’t know you could see WHO placed the ward

9 years bronze lol

seriously, that's SO useless, is funny they saying like that will change your life

@Vitor Lacerda it completly changed my life

@Vitor Lacerda You must be silver or bronze if you believe that ISNT useful. Timing enemy vision is the only way to make effective ganks in higher elos. Source: Gm peak current diamond

@Arctic Turtle Mans stuck up for you and you still malded I believe youre mid elo it usually comes with a lack of social skills LMAO

Real one!

The section on how towers target minions is incomplete. Yes they target the closest minions, but only after checking for the TYPE of minion. The priority order is Siege > Melee > Caster. A siege minion will be targeted first over a melee even if the melee is closer to the tower. However, normally when a minion wave enters a tower's range the melees are the first to enter and therefore one will be targeted before the siege enters. This means that in general when a full minion wave enters the targeting order will be Melee, Siege, Melee, Melee, Caster, Caster, Caster.

Thank you, nice to know Was confused sometimes the range-trick didnt worked

Also worth pointing out champion summons (like Malzahar's voidlings, Yorick's Ghouls, Shaco boxes, Zyra plants) all have priority over minions as well. Would be interesting to see a full tier list of which summons, if there is any between them, have priority over one another as well as Herald + clones priority.

@Giovanni Torres I can think of one exception to this though. Yorick’s maiden is kind of treated like a champion. It will be targeted after minions unless if it starts hitting an enemy champion.

the title is "insane mechanics" not beginner

Sidenote to the wards: it is also useful to memorise the skin the enemy has on the wards. Most of the times I instantly know who placed it. It was a really useful video for me btw, so thank you to take so much effort in this!

Another way to tell if Anivia has her egg up ( and any sort of revive like GA) you will see some silver wings above the champs level. it doesn't tell you how long it will be until it is back up but it is a good indicator if you want to dive aniva, zac, adc with GA, ect, ect

*etc, etc

After 11 years playing i had no idea about height adjustment being so relevant in terrain variations. Can't believe i never realized. Maybe that's whyi've been missing so many q's as zac recently, it made me so mad... just picked up jungler, never had so much terrain variations in my life 😂

Important thing to note with the auto spacing! It only works if you play a champion with a fast auto attack animation. If you were to play Varus instead of Xayah in that clip you showed it would be nearly impossible to pull of since Varus animation is literaly ages. Higher attack speed later on will change that though.

Guys, actual farming in low elo is 10-15 mins, after that everyone start acting like some kind of mad gladiators, fighting for everything and throwing a game instead of farming, i boost over 800 people over 13 years i play this game, and i can tell its never change. Actually many players in plat-diamond can lasthit like challengers on lining phase but after that they cannot find a window to farm cause of gladiator madness. You guys better make a link to your videos how to find that windows, i think u had it before.

Bro thats the fun in game

Farm the jungle. Literally just take jungle camps. That's what I do. I'm not that good at csing, but I know that because of that "gladiator madness" I won't be able to cs for much longer than 15 minutes. After that I have to take jungle camps.

fr. After 15 minutes it's: do I farm and let my team die 4v5 and have them question mark ping me or do I attempt to go with them potentially die and end up with no cs . As an ADC it's a struggle.

@Chris'tiana Yep, for adc or imobile mages its always a thing. You can have 0 vision from your team aramin for stray 5 minutes accomplishing nothing but IF U EVER decide to farm on side they INSTANTLY engage on enemy team and die for nothing. I call this move gladiator madness and at least have fun watching they're dying.

Just an FYI - Target champion only absolutely works on abilities. I main Nocturn and I use it when I'm ganking into a minion wave not to accidentally fear on of the minions, but the enemy champion instead. Also, I've found out the hard way that if I have it toggled ON when contesting a jungle camp, dragon, herald, etc, that it will not smite the monster...oops.

17:12 something easier to remember this trick that works for both hitting and dodging skillshots: there is only one variable here, - UP (above the other champion) -> aim UP (head of champion) to hit, or move UP to dodge (assuming the enemy doesn't know this trick they'll try to hit the center of your champion and if you move up they miss) - DOWN (below the other champion) -> aim DOWN (feet of champion) to hit, or move DOWN to dodge (assuming the enemy doesn't know this trick they'll try to hit the center of your champion and if you move down they miss)

Thanks, 11 years playing this game to diamond and still had no idea about this mechanic, can't believe i never noticed

I wasn't expecting to see much improvement fast but the first game I played after watching and taking note of things I got a cs/min of 6.57 which is way better then I have ever done!

Iconic league YouTube channel that gives good advice for all Players of high and low skill play. Good job guys keep up the good work 👍😌

I play support so I don't need most of these skills

@Calvin Howard ur support so u need no skill anyway

@Sunless this Hurt my feelings as my 2nd role

@Calvin Howard u sure?

That last farming mechanic is actually so simple, but at the same time incredibly ingenious.

For any champ with revive passive or guardian angel the easiest way to tell is that the level on their healthbar will have a border around it to indicate they have the passive up

32:00 you guys literally saved so much time for me on control wards. I thought they acted the same way as stealth wards when destroyed. now i can live my life knowing that after destroying a control ward i don't have to use extra brain cells to 'bait vision' like an idiot. :)

I wish skillcapped showed how auto attacking a control warded ward when taking an objective gives vision

@Tristan Tzara to keep it simple. For 'control warded' stealth wards, they still act like stealth wards, giving vision after it's destroyed (even though it didn't give vision before) and, for 'control warded' control wards, they don't grant vision after they are destoyed. But, if the enemy looks at the map often, they would know exactly where you are, (if they remember where their wards are) if they see the wards being destroyed, which is present in higher elos.

29:55 About target champs only: this only works when right-clicking. A-LeftClick and attack-move-click will still target towers and minions. Lately I've been using right-click to compensate with mixed results; between having to exactly click on the target and overriding muscle memory, it's been awkward at worst. Oh and of course, only do this when you may accidentally click a minion or tower.

Deft's Xayah clip is amazing, still imo it should be mentioned that Xayah W gives 30% ms after hitting, and that makes autospacing so much easier than without it. great video btw

I noticed the ward vision after clearing it thing during my games, but I always forget which ward does what when trying to play around the vision decay when clearing wards myself. Always nice to get a reminder

The auto spacing mechanic is something I never knew about before but I've done stuff like that before on my Ashe main getting quadrakills in fights

Learned to go for mage minions from playing Nasus. Early game stacks are very important for winning lane and matches.

These vids are crazy valuable even for a season 2 player, thank you!

Had no idea the hitboxes were like this at, 16:25. I think it is really weird that it is like this, but knowing it is will help a lot.

I like the kill the casters first tip. I learned that playing Dota way back when. And I finally got to GM on league, super overlooked small skill. I'm surprised how many people weren't doing that until highish diamond. These kind of videos are awesome too cuz honestly im not great at auto spacing due to playing alot of JG/support. Super cool. Always learning new stuff about this game

If you play the game enough and are observant enough you can pick up on a lot of these. I've learned a lot through observing and analyzing by asking what went wrong and why. Going back to watch games helps as there are times where you think you know what happened and you miss a crucial thing. When watching this video I thought I'd find a lot more useful tips for myself. I didn't know about the Leblanc and Shaco clone timers as I was always in a very prickly situation where there's not a whole lot of time to think or look. I also think it's because of my lack of understanding on how those champions work (ability cooldowns, changes on them in the past 3-5 years, etc.) due to my inexperience in fighting against them. I only play casually for fun with friends but it's not like I never want to improve and learn from my mistakes or others mistakes. This is still quite an informative video with good explanations on why you'd want to do these things. I'm glad someone is putting content like this out there to help others who are looking to improve theirselves

OMG thank you. In the old days it was far easier to tell fakes apart (like status effects or debuffs like ignite would persist and only affect the "real"). Still annoying to tell in the thick of battle, but there's a way

If you can learn the names of every pokemon, their types, weaknesses, move sets, move effects, special abilities, items, egg groups... I think learning all the characters mechanics and ranges is feasible.

5:20 I personally don't think someome should "learn" any numbers here. After time you get a feeling for it, particular if you try a lot of champs in aram. So the best tip here is hovering around the range Limit, predict abilities, side step and punish failed abilities. Like you akready said. Im glad you guys put spacing on #1 because its a mechanic you use constantly and it is defintely a underrated mechanic in educational content. So thanks for having it!

So worthy content: it helps a lot thx for these basics reminder and the mew things I learned. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

My mind has been blown and it will take me a year to find all the pieces. I didn’t know most of these and pretty much struggle with all of them. Now we know why I’m in low bronze! Wish I could give this video 100 likes.

26:18 anivia is a bad example as you can see if she has her passive or not below her level bar, it will show a small icon that will indicate whether or not she can revive.

Just a thought but maybe give a tutorial breakdown of all the runes and what they do and how they interact. not sure if you have something like this but it could be helpful for some that are terrying to get into and understand the game better

While some of the tips here were rather rudimentary for advanced players. There were some that are super useful for experienced vets as well. Even after 10 years, the tips for spotting faco and lb clones and using your own spell indicator to grasp range units, were actually game changers for me.

12:00 hes clicking on kaisa BEFORE she moves away Deft moves first in every auto in this clip, deft turns baki turns deft turns back baki turns back every time. Deft is leading the dance with superior knowledge and timing

Hey, thanks for the video. I got a question about the "target champions only" tip: You said if you use this u can only hit champions. However as far as I know this is not entirely true. - It works if: I use LMB, which is my attack or move command. - It does not work if: I use my A-Button, which is my attack the closest target button. My issue with this is that if I use my LMB and I missclick on a range champion I will move into melee range instead of attacking the champion. Is there a way to make both work (use target champions only and attack the closest target)?

no, that's not possible. there is an engine limitation that prevented RIOT from coding it to work like this when they adjusted these setting options to the way they are now several years ago (there was an article published about it at the time)

I have been playing league for almost 10 years now and just today learned the high ground low ground thing 😳

Same

30:10 actualy it does work on targed habilities like diana's E or singed's E, viktor's Q, etc.

There is actually two more reasons why killing the casters first is better. If you kill the casters first you are automatically pushing faster. Not only do you not have to pause damaging the wave to secure cs as much but also it maximaises your own minions damage since they can hit the enemy melees all the time instead of having to walk forward a bit to start hitting the casters. And the second reason is that farming the melees is a lot safer to do since you are closer to your tower. So in case someone is coming to your lane to gank you after seeing you cs on their minimap, when they arrive you would already be far back hitting the melees instead of exposed and hitting the casters.

This is a great collection of tips and tricks that I am now gonna implement in my games! Really good video

For the spacing part you could argue that the exact numbers don't matter due to edge to edge /center to center shenanigans

Either way you want to bait out moves with spacing. You'll destroy lane phase, stop your team from feeding from certain abilities, any number of things. Purposely making your opponent miss one ability might straight up lead to you winning and no one will even notice that what you did.

Play unlocked

that auto spacing thing tho i think i learned something when u talked about attacking their backs. also i didnt realize champions move forward during the AA cooldown, wrinkle gained.

Something wrong tho at 30:15, it does work on spells as I learnt recently while playing ryze, targeted spells, if I press w or e on a minion with champ; only it wont trigger, but on a champ it will.

i understand a bit of macro and always rely on that to win games , as im always told you dont need mechanics to win - THANK YOU so MUCH for actually showing Mechanics, i learned EVERY SINGLE Skill off the list that i did NOT have before. it was like taking off a blind fold, before this holy shit i was so ignorant. Thank you

great info to improve on, will surely try out the course in near future.

11:08 they didnt have the same range since xayah had lethal tempo stacked

hmm, usually wouldnt you focus melee minions first? Due to caster minions doing more dmg, and therefore making your enemy CS less, due to your minions having received more dmg in the end!?

Despite all fancy techniques @28:43 the very second Malzahar's R is done he is dead and we all know it. That's just how it goes

Honestly this is one of the only videos i have found helpfull, thanks alot, these tis alone hlped rank up a decent amount

I like how that morg clip the first time she aims of right at you then the second part she aims it a mile off is that also apart of your movement making the Enemy miss by a mile?

This was a really helpful video, good content.

In the Elise Ashe Part the mouse is very far away from Elise though movement commands

The reason, challengers don’t get loads of cs is because how well their opponents pressure them for it. In gold 10-11 cs per minuite is very doable a lot of the time

I especially appreciate the tip for finding the real Leblanc or Shaco. Does it work on Neeko by any chance?

the neeko clone runs in a straight line from where it was cast.. a bit easier to tell the clone from real

Just an FYI bois, you can only turn on the "treat target champions only as a toggle" in game, you cannot apply this setting in lobby.

just got back into the game. this are all good advice. thanks for this vid

Re: Target Champions Only "This doesnt work on Ability, Auto attacks only" this is incorrect. It will in fact not allow you to use *targeted* abilities on Minions, Vayne Condemn for Example, However it wont stop you from Caitlyn Q'ing a minion because its a Skill shot.

So im on the EUW server And most of my friends and including me knew about the ward tip and the input buffering almost all of the time we’ve played league. I don’t think you can compare challanger csing and gold csing that easy. First challenger players face other challenger players, which makes laning and therefore csing way harder than in gold. Secondly the games length is shorter in challenger, in the early stages of the game you can’t gather cs as fast as in the late game, like you have in gold (when you have 3-4 items). Now I don’t want to sound like a hater, I really liked the spacing and the rest of the tips. I think a lot of these statistics are from the NA servers ? Because whenever I watch videos of streamers in euw and Korea, the average cs is over 9 - 10 cs per minute. But yeah keep up the good work ☺👍

i already use everything on this except input buffering - but that was worth the watch. well done.

about the "hidden mechanic" I even used to abuse it before kayle's rework so I go in when her e is about to go down

5:03 whoever put that visual together deserves a raise

Bro this is great. It's useful immediately usable stuff to get better. Many thanks my dudes

I Think the biggest mechanic is Attacking with A+Leftclick

Okay, that's great I am in gold nowdays not playing ranked that much but would aay my mmr in normal and in ranked is around mid gold to low/maximum mid plat and except the ward mechanic I knew and used all of them I think now I need only the motivation to climb right? 😂

Such valuable content, for free! Wow! Thanks guys

Love this! Gonna watch this course for sure!

What about zombie wards? Do they give the 5s residual vision after destroyed?

So, what I've learnt: If I'm the one on the high ground, you will underestimate my power. If your the one on the low ground, you ask me to dont do this

I've been playing League now and then for past 12 years and yet I found this video very informative, thanks!

the cs diff example is kinda flawed, the average challenger ahri has 7 cspm, but if you put the average challenger ahri in gold it would probably be 10 cspm.

Love the guides!

7:22 yeah caling bull on that, Zed has almost 2000 threat range and since he's manaless he can use it to poke you down, the only time that's an issue for him is if he's allready over extending and then uses it to poke you and then he gets ganked without his get out of jail free card, and even then he still probably has flash to burn and still escape the gank. Zed is just rediculously safe and pretty much gets priority of lane no matter what you do. Even in this cilp right after saying that Ahri gets poked down and loses hp.

16:56 and this is way Obi Wan didn't stop Anakin from becoming Dark Vader... he should have aimed for the head. (Also Thor xD)

Surprised Caitlyn and ezreal wasn't honorable mentions. Altho the latter 99% plays play ezreal incorrectly and don't properly utilize passive autos

24:25 This is actually wave control, what he is saying is how to make a fast push

I’m struggling with the mechanic called EOMM. It’s nuts.

With Blitz grab you need accurate its diff than dashes i noted.

This was great helps with wild rift as well.

Not gonna lie this is super helpful.

the champion only toggle config will help me a lot

bro the shaco/leblanc trick is such a banger

Is there any place where can i get that list with all champions skill range?

challenge of the year: do a auto spacing play with 80 ms

this is the best skill capped video about LoL ever

Isnt xayah taking advantage of w movespeed by being in and out of range faster than kaisa?

Great guided. Def subbed. Considering coaching.

Is their a way to make the camera auto follow my character instead of having to move it around with my mouse?

30:10 "It does not work on abilities", that is not true. Any point and click ability is also affected and can only be cast on champions. The only exception that I know of is Samira's Wild Rush. 16:25 This also appears to be false. Upon testing, while the indicator shows a disparity between its location and the skillshot ground indicator, the ability itself does go precisely to your mouse cursor when you cast it. It doesn't follow the ground indicator.

"so your expecting me to learn the range, of every sing ability, on every single champion? No, that's totally unrealistic" Me who has been playing since season 2: *Done, say less*

"spacing mechanic" - proceeds to enter blind bush with ryze 1v3 knowing he has no mobility spell and flash on cooldown 🤡

30:17 target champions only does work on abilities, check maokai w if you dont belive me

Right now the mechanic I need is the ability to ban troll players. Sure I am bad too most of the time but I don't go 0/9 because my jungler took the kills when he ganks

Save the game as replay, make highlights of when the inter made things that were visibly trolling and send it as a ticket to Riot support. If Blitzcrankbot replies that it's solved, there's a big button to request a human. If they are running it down, then it should be easy to capture it on highlight. They really do get banned. I know it even tho the supports cannot tell you if they are banned or not. I checked the match history and people don't just stop playing for exactly 2 weeks out of their own will after trolling a game, when they had played consistently every day before.

8:38 do anyone care to explain why vladimir had to walk to Ahri if he has higher range? Ahri is attacking vlad in less than 550 range, vlad has to walk to get in 600 range!?!?

ok but how do you know what "1000 range" is in game? that's just a gut feeling a lot of the time, it's not like ytou have a range guage between you and every champion. Also, for melee mids like fizz, spacing kinda goes out the window unless you want no cs, you have to engage if they do or freeze lane or just dodge abilities

This is really good advice

At 30 min 30 second , i might be wrong but i think the target only champion works on abilities because i do it with cass E i might be tripping too lol

Personally I learn spacing from experience I literally cannot memorise with research for the life of me

The Anivia thing now show on her hp bar

complexity is nice. cuz u feel progression in your skill rather then numbers. but jesus league u need to read books cuz the moment you start its such a big disadvantage. These this are great. i mean the ward things are cool. gives u skills you can share in any champion. but its stuff u could go years without knowing

16:05 basically a fighting game
