@@konradgniaz3518 Considering most of the playerbase is Bronze/ Silver even after years of playing, getting gold relatively quickly is pretty good. It's at least a decent foundation to build off of if you want to climb. It shows you at least pick up some fundamentals relatively quickly.

Appreciate the feedback mate, glad I could help you out !

this video clarified everything, i was wondering how my map awareness improved so much. if one has solid jg tracking, warding, teammate/enemy awareness and objective awarness, one will just automatically look at the minimap more frequently.

This is my favorite video of yours, Super clear and to the point!

This is something I've been actively trying to work on, so thanks for this video Curtis!

Awesome video man. You are really into it. Thank you. Loved this.

YES! I needed this, i always focus too much on the 1v1 on lane and forget about the map.

Man, this is >THE VIDEO< I've been waiting for the most. Thanks

Thx for the amazing video as always Coach!

step 1 is SUCH A MOOD ive been saying this since i started taking league seriously. if you cant control your own champion/movement without looking you will never ever be able to look at the map or dodge skillshots or punish last hits or any of the other million things you need to be thinking about during a game. this is why ive always said that there is a minimum level of micro ability required to "unlock" the brain side of the game. im so glad you talked about this because i feel like this is a super common problem for the less mechanically gifted players like myself and ive literally never seen anyone talk about it in any sort of detail

I just DMed you on discord about this topic 7 hours ago and now I see this vid uploaded LOL like sitting inside my brain XD COACH CURTIS - THE BEST

AHA! Mini-breaks! I admit I fall into the 3rd category of players who do not seek out mini-breaks in the lane. But, I plan to rewatch the JG tracking video and remind myself of the tremendous weight of information I can gain from the map, especially regarding JGs. I'm floored you could turn my request into a video with a one week turnaround time. I look forward to my next cycle of review games where I can hone in on identifying mini-breaks in the lane. Cheers!

This is obviously on old video, but I just want to say that "don't look at your own character" is straight up level one of high level fighting game knowledge, but this video is the first ever I've seen for this game in a sea of league educational content

Oh my gosh that Cassio emote at the end is amazing

Amazing video, I love the miniature breaks concept. It really clarified exactly what you are doing in order to read the map well. I don’t know if it is kosher to mention other content creators here, but I had recently gotten much better at map awareness from watching xfsn saber coaching videos. He focuses on habit based learning and he often has to deal with map awareness issues with his clients. It helped me build habits to fix my map awareness, but this video you created kinda explains the nuts and bolts behind the habits.

Love your content

That champion mastery concept of never looking at your own champion is similar to mastery in fighting games. Focusing on the opponent helps you to learn their patterns and space yourself as best as you can. Of course in League it comes with the added benefit of looking at the minimap. Excellent video Curtis!

Thanks so much man, that actually makes sense I never thought of it in regards to fighting games

Playing Champs with globals (GP, Shen, TF, Galio, etc) and/or taking teleport helped me with map awareness.

What a great video, I've learned so much from this! A suggestion for a topic that I haven't seen covered on youtube yet: When and how to teleport as a midlaner. For example, when I see my botlane getting dove, how do I decided whether I should tp? Should I TP during the dive, or is it too late then? I find this incredibly difficult to decide and it's losing me tons of games.

Really good vid, funny thing is I was actually thinking about how good it would be to find something about this , then this pops up :D , I'm not sure how well I am with this , gota jump into the game and try it out. Really constructiv and easy to understand , Thank you My biggest problem is that I feel totally lost once laning phase ends , I just don't understand when should I push , grupe with the team or go for objectives I know when can I get away with a roam , I even manage to fake them , but once the game passes the 15-20 min mark my performance falls apart and from there it's a coin flip

motivation to study is a great analogy

If you need a video idea: maybe you could try explaining the champion identity of each midlane champ, bundled in groups of champs, something like roamheavy champs, long range mages etc.

Hello! Thanks for the great content. I'm actually adc in br server, can you make a playlist with the best videos to whatch and apply in bot line? Thanks again.

Hy there, indeed what you say fits very well into managing your time window to check for info, but what happens if you are ganged from behind or flanc behind the wall on your side of the lane?

Would you say to try and check the minimap everytime you last hit a minion unless you are under pressure or have another minion to last hit?

What do you do if you want to play Draven? I feel like in this scenario, you for the most part have to look at your character, removing focus on the enemy's position, minion HP, and minimap

Dude... Just thanks c:

Hey Curtis I absolutely love you videos and I’ve used them for midlaners I like playing casually to get a better understanding of midlaners I like to play but I mainly play adc and I was wondering, do you know a “coach curtis” for adcs? Most of the adc helps I can find are proguides bs. Thanks! Been watching since 20k and imma keep watching

So, after I last hit a minion, I usually try to hit the enemy when I don’t have to last hit, therefore, I don’t look at the minimap. When should I poke the enemy then?

YTou atre God sent Curtis I really wanted a video like this...idk if u believe in God but I think he put this in your mind for my sake as my team participation and map awareness sucks

I've started roaming a lot more, and usually it turns out well because I assess how far aherad my laner is, where their jg is etc. But my laner always ends up getting 3 plates cuz my junglers in plat dont catch the wave. If i played a champ like talon it wouldnt be an issue but my control mage is pretty slow

my friends always call me out for not looking at the map, hope this helps

I have this habit of pressing tab and flipping through my f keys whenever I've started the animation to last hit a minion and just look at the map periodically. it's a really short period of time so should I try to assess the map while looking at tab or just ditch that altogether? Also just a funny side story. I was watching Bobqins stream and he was talking about how informational channels don't do well and me and quite a few people in his chat spammed COACH CURTIS and made him acknowledge you :D

It's a good habit to get into if you are able to actively process the information you are seeing, faker is very good at utilizing the f keys, but keep in mind it's not about it 'looking cool' , it's about what the information is informing you to do next Thanks brother

2 minutes in and its hit home

what about hitting tab for info when is that good to do and what type of info are you looking for when hitting tab and i like to know what you think of using F1-F5 to get info that looking at your map can't over looking at map odds you want to do the 2 but how to do that because you need to do 1 thing at time f keys give you hp of cs and how lane is pushing/ being played hp/mana of their laner and sometime you get sums/ults what can help you but map tells you if someone on a ward

I noticed that one of the main reasons why I sometimes completely neglect the minimap is how much pressure enemy champs is doing. For example, when I play vs a Yasuo I have to super focus on not making mistakes because a simple mistake could mean half of my hp and heavy losing my lane, in that scenario my Minimap Awareness goes to hell.
