foxdropLoL - Be a Better League Player Again, don't know if you've made a video on the topic already or not (if you have would love the link), but a video on wave manipulation would be great. I'm in Platinum and I main top lane where wave manipulation is super important (since it is the "island"). I do a fairly good job of managing it, but I still find myself sometimes leaving top lane when it's slow pushing into the enemy tier 2 and I lose a lot of XP and gold to the enemy top laner who can team fight, recall, and catch the massive wave at his turret. Any tips you have for this (especially for bot lane where no one seems to emphasize this aspect of the game at all below Diamond I) would make a great video. I also understand if you're not the best at this topic because you main jungle, but if you think you can do it I would appreciate it.

_"And_ _it's_ _not_ _just_ _rapid-spinning_ *_Hitmonchans_* _that_ _get_ _a_ _lot_ _of_ _use_ _out_ _of_ *_foresight_*_,_" Well played sir.

I think one of the best points you made in this video is, "have future plans influence current actions." This idea seems to be so underrated in most players because most league players tend to play in the moment. Even if you don't take upon a shotcaller role, I feel that it is important to understand the fundamentals of creating situations where there will be room for opportunities to take an advantage/lead over the enemy team. I think people are underrating these things because it doesn't influence them mechanically as a player, but rather provides a foundation of how your mindset should be when playing League of Legends. Great video foxdrop!

I don't understand how people have a problem with this video. You can teach someone how to not suck at the game but you can never teach someone to be good. All you can do is guide them. This video is a guide.

Therefore, over time, trolls, feeders and afkers statistically RAISE your elo higher than it would be if they never existed, as they are on your enemies team 5 out of 9 times.

This point has beat to death, but I try to teach my teammates the proper things that they should be doing, like telling a behind adc to focus on csing, as I know they can't win a trade, and kind of being a command center toward the jungler by keeping proper vision and pointing out which lanes need help and are gankable whilst I'm walking to lane. This also helps me win more, but not enough. Flaming is not the answer.

"free pink" a pink is only 100g and you can only place one. So if you want more wards you need to buy normal wards so you just spend 75g per ward. The other yellow trinket allows you to place 3 normal wards without needing to buying anything. That is 225g, that is more than 2 pinks in 3 minutes. Normally pink wards are used for nash/dragon or the defensive wards that stay longer than 2 minutes.

@S3PT1M1

yeah and in a game with invis people, you will more than place 2 pinks the entire game- not saying everyone should get one obv, but someone always should. regardless, saying the pink trinket is useless is still stupid, situational yes, but not useless

one funny thing I learned from climbing from low elo to high elo was that bronze/silver players only know a bit of the champions in the game and almost nothing about stratagies, so they just fight and hope for the best. gold/lower-plat players know good and effective ways to finnish someone off in fights like saving abilities for the final blow. and high-plat/diamond players know almost exectly when they need to back off in fights or how to get away so that the final blow wont hit them. but that is ofc only one of the idk how many things that are different in every elo

To all the people who are disappointed from the video: the video title should be perceived and comprehended exactly as it is written. It's NOT supposed to (and for that reason, not going to) teach you when and how to play around these mistakes/problems and how to solve them. It may not be very useful and helpful but it gives you an understanding of key things you should be focusing on and things to avoid doing in order to improve. Explaining every bit of this video and more specifically the ideas behind it would take atleast a good 30 minutes (if not more if we focus on every detail and go in-depth generally). I find it to have more of an entertaining purpose really.

This video is more about key points to work towards rather than exactly how to get better. It is still helpful because you have to ask yourself "how do I get myself to that point" rather then being told of a list of things you need to do in situations a, b, c, and d. Which there are a million situations you could be in. That sort of thinking leads you to be more independent. While you do need to work together it is important to learn how to make your own decisions and like you said it is a mind set. I hope other people will understand that. With that being said I don't view these as much as "tips" as I do mental milestones. If that makes sense. I do enjoy the points made in this video though.

JupiterLight Well, all the situations in league can be easily manageable with only taking some quality normal o ranked matches. What do I mean with this? Starting to think more like when you are in laning phase and you wanna go to boy some items, but if you leave the lane he might take half of your 1st tower giving to his team a small advantage vs your team at top and jungle, they might go to mid bcuz your tower will be distroyed by minions so they can focus in the 2 remaining lanes. See what I did here? I made a way of how this can end. You know. The things in Platinum dont get very different of Gold. The thing that diference them is the mental part. They think all the probable ways to win either a trade or a teamfight. :) Hope this helped ya

challenger players consistently have good mechanics, and dont miss opportunities. missing opportunities to make plays is the number 1 thing ive seen low-mid elo players do wrong. it IS a mistake if you miss dragon opportunities, baron steals, teleport ganks, and/or abuse a bad laning opponent. playing passively can cost you more games than aggression. if you're simply keeping even with players in sub plat, you have miles of room to improve. you need to be beating bad players badly. been in diamond since season 3, 1980 elo season 2. im no challenger player, but it's easy to tell when a player isn't up to par when he misses punishing my mistakes.

10 Things why... Nice try buzzfeed!

So.... Get good?

Good one again Foxdrop, those educational videos addressing mentality for trying to climb ranked are rly helping.

Tulips? What are you? Dutch? Got you some carnations, left them at our secret meeting spot. Think of me when you smell them...what? What do you mean we've never met and your lawyers are sending the restraining order?

You play with Keyori? Unsubscribed.

'Rapid spinning hitmonchans getting a lot of use out of forsight' this is why i am subbed.

about the flaming thing: I play in high diamond, usually with diamond 1, masters and diamond 2-3's depending on how my mmr happens to be at the time, and when I play on my smurf to carry my friend up to plat/diamond, the difference in how much people flame is significant. In low ELO's, usually bronze to plat, people tend to flame alot, they blame teammates and refuse to accept the fact that they might have done something wrong aswell, and constantly blame teammates and think of themselves as this LoL god. My tip is, just ignore them, type "lol" and press ignore, and tell yourself: is the choice he's doing any good? if not, don't follow him... and by this I don't mean if your team starts doing baron, and you think it's, a bad idea, don't start split pushing or something. What I meant was, if this one player engage into a fight you don't think you can win, don't fight. If you're one of the guys who easily get annoyed: my tip is, play something else if you're on tilt... this is an online game, and people won't always play the way you want them to, and while them "sucking" might ruin your fun, flaming them ruins their fun. TL;DR: Don't flame, just let it go

Foresighting Rapid Spin Hitmonchan. You into competitive Pokémon? Foresight spinners is a legitimate thing. Wow. I'm impressed Fox.

My main problem with solo Q is the one i'm explaining with this simple example: - as a jinx adc with support leona, come out of laning phase slightly ahead , good vibes with the leona. -enemy katarina is "fed" (just ahead, still manageable) - tell leona to keep her q or, preferably, her ulti, to deny katarina when she jumps in, for the next teamfight - leona proceeds to use her R as an engage and Q the enemy bruiser - I point that out - I get a fucking shitload of insults, she tells me I just "talk talk talk", that I can't position myself and that i should get fucked, and blames everything on the mid laner. - After the ace kata is fed as shit and the team is flaming and we lost. GG

TLDR Version: #1 Don't die - It will put you behind #2 Don't give up - It's hard to comeback if you give up #3 Make correct decisions - Give up that tower if you can't defend it etc. #4 Don't waste time, every second counts, you need to be doing something that is causing your team to win, e.g. warding, farming, getting a gank off #5 Plan ahead for objectives etc. #6 Don't let negative teammates affect you, mute if needed #7 Have a plan for teamfights, eg. peel for adc, kill enemy midlaner, stop kata ulti etc. #8 Don't do bad recalls e.g. those that miss cs #9 Don't blame/flame teammates ofc! #10 Practice league a lot

I absolutely love all of the references you use in your videos

I guess to get good at League, instead of spending quality time with my family I need quality time with League. Thanks for the advice Foxdrop ^-^

Most players that are good but still end up losing solo que games is because they are placed on a little too much tilt,so a tip is to think that whenever someone says something mean,those are just words,they cannot actually hurt you if you can take a punch (if ya know what I mean) so for an example there are two paths,one where you chose to argue and flame at someone and lose the game (because you are typing for 10000 years),or you could just not say anything at all and focus and play at your best to try win the game.

If you start to fall behind in team fights and everything, quit engaging the enemy team. If an engage is being forced, poke as much as you can before hand. ADCs like Varus, Lucian, Miss Fortune, all have great long range AD pokes while champs like Lux, Xerath, Vel, have great AP pokes. A champion with half HP is a lot less likely to engage your team, or at least is easier to burst down afterwards. Favorable Junglers should be able to take dragon at any given notice. Dragon gives a huge advantage in a teams damage output, pushing, movement speed, and if you happen to get 5 dragon stacks then that advantage is doubled. That being said, it's the other teams duty to come to the jungler's aid if he's being invaded. Champs like Shaco, Fiddle, Nunu, Udyr, all like to invade and can make it difficult for your jungler. But if they get caught in your jungle they're basically free kills if you act quick enough. A good support is dictated by their skillset. You actually have to be useful for your adc in lane and carries late game. In lane, you want to be able to poke for your ADC. Champs like Sona and Nami are great for exchanging pokes because of their ability to heal themselves immediately after anyway, allowing for you to widdle them down to a more favorable fight. Also a good support should have utility in their skillset. Champions like Thresh, Leona, Blitz, and Nami, have multiple stuns and disrupts to help lock down an enemy champion. A pull or knock up or stun are great for slowing down retreating enemies, or slowing down gankers in lane. If you're going to play a high burst champ, build damage. Your job is to get in and kill one, maybe even 2 of their squishier champs, as quickly as possible. A good Zed or Kha can take out a squishy ADC or APC in a split second.

A random player told me to know how long the range of the skills of the enemy and if your opponent use skillshots, do not stand in just 1 place. a very helpful tip

I was hoping for more practical things when i clicked this video: Like knowing how much damage your combo does at X level, writing down timers, knowing how long it will take for the enemy to go from fountain to tower.

Thanks Foxie! I already knew a lot of this stuff, my main problem is trying to learn how to carry without playing boring champions. Nearly every time I play Zac, my favorite champion, I get fed and have a 2-3 level advantage. I need to figure out myself how I can use that lead to boost my team into a huge snowball as well. Like right now what I do is I just initiate and assume my team will follow and do damage, then I realize that one of their guys are fed and can one shot my back line, and I throw the game. But I don't want to throw away my lead by letting the other team push for free while my team farms my jungle and is salty. I can't figure out what to do, because I can't peel if no one initiates. They seem to prefer running halfway across the map in 5v3's.

Omg, that super subtle but amazing competitive pokemon reference.

i just cracked up at "Netherrealm, the rest..ok i'll stop that". That was really funny

The major thing that separates high elo from low is knowledge of the game. Specifically knowledge of champ matchups and item powers vs each other. There's actually very little skill in LoL, compared to a game like CounterStrike.

One problem I have with this video is that many of the points are that Challenger players, "know," or they, "find ways," but it doesn't explain how they do or learnt these things. So this was more of a goal video than an actual video to help lower elo players like myself improve.

The issue I have with this, as most people relate, is that many of these things come with expectations of your teammates to do the same. If you notice an enemy makes a mistake and noone else on your team does its very easy to headbut pulverize the enemy adc and instead of insta gib them, pop ult and run like hell cuz your in a 1v4. If you plan on taking drag in a minute and say drag one minute get wards in, and a minute later your adc is in base your time was wasted, so i'm not trying to complain but I have lost so many games by trying to be smart and won so many by see hero kill hero, I've given up on trying to play strategically, maybe if I ever make platinum.

I wish this was more direct and explained examples of say, when to push, how to judge whether or not to go in/back out, etc. Essentially there was a lot of "Challenger players are experienced, intelligent, have good judgement, and don't have better temper control" and I didnt learn too much from this :\ I enjoyed watching your plays though lol

"Challenger players avoid situation that put them behind" Oooooooooooooooooooh, I thought engaging on bad plays would win me the game, thanks Foxdrop! :)

BeekersSqueakers Obviously, that's a no brainer. Why not explain how to determine what is a good and bad situation? Otherwise, you might as well say 'Avoid the Noid' without even telling us what a Noid is. How can we avoid it, if we don't know how to recognize it?

Very nice vid. I hit Masters in S4 with all of these tips in mind in some form or another. Good advice and good way of putting it!

The sad thing is that there's no amount of logical reasoning that will convince (too many but not all) low level / low elo players that the following isn't true: "I'm the best player ever, no matter how much I feed, or make mistakes, it's their fault I lost. I don't have anything to learn, it was my horrible team that cost me the win." So when the game starts going south, the raging, blaming and relentless flaming begins (which gets them killed more since they're trying to type to "humiliate" you and play at the same time). Really old expression that helps out ALOT: "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Applies pretty well in Leagues, IMO.

"If you blame your teammates they will do worse"Yet people still do it...

I'd like to see a video where you explain what to do if your team can't teamfight, how to split push sucessfully, get picks etc.

There are two things you didnt add in this, how exactly do you handle players who get so toxic that they begin to intentionally feed, most people say "try to calm them down" but thats only throwing gasoline into the fire.

The jokes in this video were so good XD want ot see more of this side of foxdrop

Puns were on point this video, Phreak would be proud man, gj

"rapid spinning Hitmonchans that get a lot of forsight" I didn't know you played Pokémon too foxy!

Agreed with a lot of the people below, these are things most players know and they will naturally improve the more you play. You don't really need someone to point these things out. Some concrete/practical examples would have been much better. I was expecting ward placement examples, or explaining why you shouldn't have your carries grouped up on objectives, etc, etc.

2:14 I DIED OF LAUGHTER XD

Fox these vids have helped me a lot in the 6 months I've been playing leauge i still have so much more to learn but im slowly making that climb from silver 5 made it to silver 3 today thanks :)

When you said "whatever that's funny" lol that made my day , especially that i'm having a final exam in less than 2 hours :(

It's great that you add some humor in your vids, it makes your vids way more enjoyable! Piss & love

Lmaooooo "once you go black you never go......" You get a sub for that. That WAS funny

Basically it is having extreme knowledge and experience in the game. Something that most players don't have access to because they just started playing the game 1-2 years ago.

You forgot something. Challenger people ward, they buy pinks they do upgrade their wards. I'm stuck in Silver and noticed every time I lose is mainly because of no vision. I keep warding myself buy 2 isn't enough to cover the areas needed.

Most of these tips are true for just gaming in general. At least 6 or so of these tips can be applied to any other competitive game or even field. I remember a time when I used to play Dota 2, and people in one game were flaming like hell because we were losing. I kept a positive attitude the whole game, and we ended up winning.

The Simple Technique is... Common Sense, check the enemies stats, the damage you can do, pretty much just use common sense in the game. You wanna gank, communicate then proceed, you dont have to think alone cause its a TEAM Fight. #2 Trust your instincts and of course the most important Team Communication.

Okay dear forxdrop i got a serious question to you: what do you do, if you are behind your lane opponent, who has an great kill pressure on you, but instead of helping you come back in the game, your own team even only comes to your lane to take your farm so that you fall even further behind? i am currently in Gold 5 (and hopefully rising soon) and still see this way to often that my own team plays against me rather then playing with me.

Thank you for the video Foxy. This will definently help me in my ranked climbing XD

So basically: 1.: dont be bad 2.: if you DID play bad, get gud again. 3.: know the game. 4.: dont be dumb. 5.: think. (just play the game and know you are not god, you will get better that way.)

Nice video FD. I actually found it very usefull & and I have climbed imensly after I tried to "implement" these tips into my game. Alot of your tips, also gave me a lot of inspiration for further improvements so thanks man, Love your vids!

#0 Ban Katarina #1 Open chat and write /ignore all #2 Ward-Always have a pink if enemy laner has stealth #3 Start looking at your minimap every 5 seconds.Then 4,3... #4 Never miss free CS #5 Dont back before pushing your lane (İf you know you are safe enough) #6 After winning your lane gank other lanes #7 Always go to missions on time #8 Give your team hope-morale #9 Try to hit every single skill you use and dodge as much as possible #10 Profit??? At least this is what ı do and ı have 2 Plat 1 accounts.Hope this helped.

All the mortal kombat references, im dying xD

Dang, I like your stick figure fight intro. Reminds me of the flash animations I used to make!

I love the vid man. As a master player some shit literally happens in ranked ques esp. when challengers and masters have to deal with a flaming diamond. God I really hate those flamers. I usually mute them then turn it back on when the game is coming to an end. But great vid man.

I love when you started talking about toxicity while playing with Keyori & friends.

all these tips are like really obvious easier said than done observations about the game... it's like talking about racecar drivers and saying "they know how to drive really fast" or at best, "they think about the racing line in an individual course and know when to apply brakes and cornering to best get around the track." you're describing the skill set, but not how to get there.

love the chat fight between keyori and vayne

I often watch diamond/challenger play, and from what I can see they could all have like 90% less deaths if they took the five extra seconds to run to a safer spot to recall - like running to the inner turret when you're low health and you know there's an enemy champ nearby(or even if you don't know).

Summary: 10: Challenger players don't suck 9: When challenger players suck, they stop sucking 8: Challenger players know how to not suck 7: Challenger players decide not to suck quickly and with conviction 6: Challenger players plan to not suck 5: Challenger players aren't bothered by people who suck 4: Challenger players don't suck in fights 3: Challenger players don't suck at going back to base 2: Challenger players still aren't bothered by people who suck 1: Challenger players play LoL a lot If you're looking for specific tips, look elsewhere.

Rapid spinning Hitmonchan. Foresight. Am I the only one that got the reference? LOL

Hey Fox, when exactly would you say is a good time to push then back? I'm never quite sure exactly

I like your British idioms and sense of humor hahah LOL
