"not all your teams fault and not all Riot's fault. Some? Sure"

I think in these cases you shouldnt even say to them that some of it might be his teams fault or riots fault. just don't mention that and keep it all on self reflection. They might remember that sentence best of all.

And in the end I think if you look at the bigger picture you have 0% of it to blame on teammates or riot. Sure if you really focus on a specific time in a particular game for example your team makes a bad dive or there is a bug that makes you lose a fight you are not to blame (which you shouldn't mention to delusional people I think)

But when you look at a whole season or your whole rank in general you just cant blame anything else besides yourself

But that's just my take on it and I'm willing to change my stance

He says it doesnt take a lot of games to learn a champ but then he does this: 48:49 I played a ton of akshan, and his E is a never ending learning process. You cannot ever learn everything about his e, the way it interacts with the environment and how to angle, it is just too hard to master it entirely, but the more you play the better you get. For example, at this timestamp, if he puts his E on the left wall, and swings with his body towards them instead of away, he gets both easily. And if they flash away you can easily hop of your e (you get a tiny dash when you let go) and kill them into a reset. -> This just showcases that his idea of "champs are easy to play" is just invalid. An akshan with more games will get a double there, 99 times out of 100.

Also 55:00 is a perfect example of him never using his single passive to kite. When akshan attacks and cancels his second auto, he gets a lot of movement speed. If he attacks xayah once and Qs her, he can just outrun her and never die. He never does this all game.

Good KDA and no good winrate means you don't know your wincon, and while he is right, that a champ is easy to learn mechanically, knowing how to best pilot the game it'self and close the game, takes a lot more games on that champ.

21:10 is giga high risk since aurelion still has flash, you never kill without dying. But his e shoulda hit the wall too instead of the tower so he would rotate closer to aurelion.
Played a ton of aksha, climbed from gold 4 to plat 1 with it last season (100 lp but failed my promos xd)
Either way, one thing I learned was that solo kills are sometimes not even worth it. Often times I'd get a solo kill, then back and find that my jungler is fighting and I'm not ther ebecause I needed to reset. It gets even worse if I brought ignite and enemy mid brought tp. The kill suddenly becomes a net loss. So I played more patient and usually just played for prio. So instead of diving, I'd hover my jungler.

Rav is a low elo league content creator who used to be pretty popular, I still like his skits/commentary but he's definitely lower than plat. He's an ADC main and his recent video tested the theory of "adc being coinflip in low elo." He hired a high elo duo ADC and soft inted on support in order to prove his point: Neeko supp purposefully take terrible trades, going afk, missing abilities, etc. Guess what happened...

He got carried by the high elo duo partner and the guy was even having fun! Rav's take got totally destroyed.

Aside from the obvious mechanical issues too, he doesn't seem to understand the champion's identity on a broader scale (which the guys touch on). Champ mastery isn't just "can i press 4 buttons" its about knowing what your champ wants to do and when. When you're strong, your power spikes, your identity, how to play teamfights... he seems totally lost on all these counts. The sad part is akshan is probably one of his BEST champs since he mained it a few years ago.

Like I had no idea someone can be, and I don't have another word for this, dense and stupid in their way of thinking about the game, or anything in life, really, thinking they are at the level of a challenger player when very obviously they are in the exact rank they belong into, not admitting to any flaws in their gameplay and thus never having anything to improve on, according to their thinking. I guess I thought maybe this was possible with people who played the game for 1-2 years. But with 40k games - jesus.

@XMegaxXxTronX

I think that the problem here is that it does not matter how many games you are playing if, ultimately, you are not intentional about improving. If you study how grandmasters in chess improve at their game, you see that 80% of their time is studying, practicing tactics, game endings, playing against themselves, and the other 20% is actually playing those games.

In League I think this is more difficult (sure, you can practice combos, last hitting, clearing jungle camps, review your own games, watch other people play and take notes) and most people learn by playing many games. People like this show you that you need some self-reflection to become good at anything.

Whooo boy, I'm glad I clicked on this recommended video. As someone that spends far more time on the League subreddit than I should, this whole thing was cathartic as all get out. I'm trash at this game. I know I am, I have no desire to improve. I can accept that this is my spot on the ladder cause I have no hands and no wrinkles on my brain. But if you're in a game with me, there's a reason for it, dawg. You belong in my game.

You know there's a way to play League with 80+ champs a season, mechanics max, constant fighting, and no objective or win cons already built into the game. It's called ARAM. I bet if Riot added ranked ARAM he would switch to that. But as is his ego is getting in the way because he wants the rank attached. Or maybe he should just accept playing the game for fun only. Either way he'd probably be happier.

@davidelombardi4834

I have 7k arams played and i would never ego pick a random champ in ranked only because i might have 100+ games of that champ in aram because the rift is COMPLETELY different, i wouldn't fucking know how to win the game with that champ apart from how to skirmish and teamfight with it because that's all what aram is about, i don't understand how he has this immense ego, i could probably be better at his entirely champion pool than him considering the time i invested but holy shit i would be delusional to consider myself better than any serious champion X main.

Champ mastery (the stat tracked by league/riot) is not an accurate representation of champ mastery (the abstract concept). There's a reason why there is a 1000000+ singed onetrick in every division. Those hours spent can only maybe correlate understanding, but in no way do they dictate it. Some hours that a person will spend on a champ will mean more or less than others' hours.

@JayTheYggdrasil

This was interesting, this feels like the polar opposite of how I approach the game. They seem to over-focus a lot on kills and KDA, while I over-focus on minions and map pressure, and generally under focus on kills as I just find it more interesting & fun to try and create advantages in other ways.

So it's super weird watching this and being unable to relate to their gameplay at all. I'm used to watching much higher level gameplay, from people who I assume have a more "balanced" mindset when it comes to things like kills vs CS and the risk vs reward and all that stuff, so I can usually relate to their decision making on some level, even if I am significantly worse.

I'm not really a great player myself, probably a bit worse than this guy tbh (I just play for fun, so I'm not worried about it), I was already fascinated by how differently high elo players can approach the game, see Baus and other off-meta enjoyers for good examples, but I don't think I ever realized just how much more different it can get in lower elos.

@riceislife6487

These guys are great, but there are probably some better channels strictly for coaching/gameplay. This channel is more about outer concepts of league like climbing, and how to approach it. Try to learn the fundamentals and take off from there. If You are a top laner, check out Alois, he is proven to be pretty much top 3 toplaners of EUW and best Riven onetrick. He teaches top fundamentals so well and is insane at the game as well as making climbing to masters iwth different top lane champions.

@bullettime1116 Just got a notification of you replying to him. It's funny because reading my own comment after a few months I now see how much I really improved. Back then I still was gold but shortly before Emerald got introduced I hit plat for the first time. I then ranked into emerald and I now hover between Emerald 3-1. This video was probably the start of the change in my mindset and how I view the game, it took me a long time to get to this point but constantly telling myself that I deserve to be in the elo I am and that I'm not someone special who riot picked out to keep stuck really helped. I now am able to see my own mistakes and recognize them earlier, I stopped getting mad over my team and started observing the game from a broader sense. The game has been so much more fun thanks to Curtis and Nathan.

No matter how bad you are or who you are you will not be silver if you played that many games on a single champion even if it is not in 1 season unless you got ranked Silver then just played norms for the rest of it, but that is the only way without intentionally trolling just to stay in the rank as till you get to Diamond or Emerald it is a numbers game.

Often times players, high or low elo, know the "textbook" play. But when they are mentally disrupted, from teammates pings, enemy emotes, being ganked, being solod, etc., they start to play with ego instead. Taking coinflip trades and sometimes even obviously bad ones. The most obvious one is when one of your teammates die from a really stupid decision. The cost fallacy induces many players to take risks they otherwise would not take. Cut your losses and leave. This is what pro teams are so good at doing, even though small advantages matter so much more at the professional level. Its shocking to see how dreadfully unaware some people can be of their own decision making skills and the various factors that affect them.

I really like this commentary. You two clearly know what you're talking about, and are able to analyze the game at a macro level, which is pretty impressive. The only slight criticism I have is that you keep saying the guy "got lucky". Don't get me wrong, he definitely got lucky a bunch, however, I don't feel like "the stars perfectly aligned" the whole game for him. When he got some kills in bottom lane, he went there when the opponents were overextending to his team's tower, that's not really luck. It was also mentioned that "he's taking all the kills", and I'm sure he took a few, but in a lot of the clips it looked like the adc died, and then he finished the fight by killing people solo or with the support. In one of the fights after caitlyn died, he finished the fight killing 2 people, and because of his passive, caitlyn got rezzed. There's a big difference between stealing/taking a kill from someone else (and depriving them of gold), and getting kills by finishing the fight. Just my 2 cents.

Another point is that he doesnt even play usual Akshan secondary runes which are Shield Bash to Boneplating, in this case rather Second Wind which would also help him to play super aggresively as he apparently wants to. I honestly believe he would be able to kill Asol in 27:22 with correct set of runes, especially because he wouldnt be as chunked as he was if he had Second Wind with Shield Bash in those bad trades before the incident happend.
