This is EXACTLY the kind of content I need to learn bro thank you.

OK this makes a ton of sense. As a Lux OTP Ive always struggled to take my turret and now I see the light

lets talk about mental health problems lmao need a warning on this video sir. The jumpscare was insane

I NEVER KNEW! i love your style of education, the more visual and intriguing examples i get the better i remember, and i love the actual gameplay example in the practice tool specifically. good stuff dude

sis, is the room getting more smokey?? lol

fuck your clickbait titles

I personally think the lack of running out of mana is a good think, because considering this is a fast paced action strategy game running out of the thing you need to use your abilities while in the middle of a fight is not a good thing, and your not always in a position where you can ration your abilities. Also I personally find the game most fun when there is constant action on the map, so I find it better that no one has to worry about mana. Oh and here's a sub, good video.

Thanks for the explanation and continuing to make content! Also the fit lowkey going maybe it's just me tho

great video keep it up

Now I know all the ways to int my ranked Iron games, preciate it

Deep.

Great guide to get started in understanding Sieging

It's cause of how ADHD gamers are now. No one wants to use their brain and think, they rather just spam. It's some weird zoomer thing that's affecting alot of games, and life too in general with youtube shorts and whatever

Insightful <3

Sorry, but greatest problem by far is smurfing. Hands down. It feels like 50% of players are Smurfs these days. It is just ridiculous. Riot is gaslighting ppl into believing, that smurfing is good and does not hurt the game. (They want the account numbers and sales) And although they can't say that it is fine according to the Summoner's Code, they evade any real conversation about it and beat around the bush. A lot of content on UA-cam is Smurf Content. That projects a completely unrealistic picture of the Game and its mechanics. All the guides are repeating themselves with the same points, while showing a Smurf beating weaker players, leaving out dozens of things, that a high elo player does subconciously. I am not saying, that guides are useless, but a lot of them miss the real points. League is a highly mechanical game and with all the Smurfs it is simply not enough to farm and know basic map mechanics. You will not beat a Diamond Lee Sin as a Silver Volibear. Even if you are an item ahead, what will almost never happen. And since you have no learning curve due to unbalanced matchmaking, you will not get to a level, where you can suddenly beat a Diamond Player as Silver player. Not a chance. You will not have real match application of concepts you simply can't learn in practice tool or bot games. Feel free to look around the world of real sports in the last view years, to come up with examples, where extremely unequal levels of power led to unfair advantages and unjustice towards athletes. There are enough to prove my point. So how are you supposed to learn from all the stomps in League? Look at activation curves by Yerkes-Dodson and tell me, that stomps are a good learning environment. Yes - you can hire a coach to go over the replays. Great. Then we are back at the point of how to learn these advanced concepts, that are far above your current level, without being able to slowly work up to them. Educational Smurfing becomes a complete oxymoron at that point. Dota 2 banned Smurfing, because Smurfs gatekeeping new players became a real problem. Obviously League still makes enough money that they don't care.

as a xerath player ill run out of mana if i get zoned off the wave and not be able to use my passive which always happens cuz of these cancer dash champs and autoing anyone as an artillery mage in teamfights is like such a crazy idea. the recent ez accessibility to blue buff is the best thing thats happened to me so far cuz it actually lets me spam my spells with no care about running out of mana and i dont have to beg jungler to give the unreliable pussy champ a blue buff

I only agree with the video because it inherently disagrees with what most redditors would say

Semi related to the mana issues. I'll forever be mad at riot for taking out half of Ivern's passive and adding it into the buffs themselves. Having an Ivern used to mean that your midlaner had a mana advantage after level 7 (?) which was a MASSIVE deal for some match ups. Now both teams have that advantage, which makes it irrelevant.

Give Soraka the ability to drain mana again problem solved

I agree but also I don't like the idea of spending gold on mana every time I would back. Maybe just cause I'm used to the way things are.

There are a few immediate issues with this. The first of them is that before we simply had different ways to make mana a non issue. I used to sit on Xerath in mid lane 1v5 with D-ring and Chalice of Harmony which not only gave mana sustain but also health sustain both unconditionally. Then just perma farm with abilities from tower until I could buy the full thing if everything was going well OR I could boost both my mana regen and health regen. To explain this for those who weren't there, chalice of harmony had 30 MR and 50% mana regen with a passive called Harmony which gave you 25% health regen for every 25% mana regen (it had variations of this before but basically it was THE mana regen item at the time) you had and this item was way cheaper than Lost Chapter that we now buy to regen mana on level up and for a time this upgraded to a really powerful mage sustain item called Athene's Unholy Grail with a Mana Restored over time and also mana restored on kill effect. This item later became a support item with a shield/heal based passive but for the Mana and Health regen passive (that did see a few changes but still remained strong) it was still worth it for a first item to get chalice for merely 800 gold. You could start Corrupting Pot or Tear instead of D-Ring too and often you'd just get all of these because you'd just be permanently in lane, especially as an artillery mage. Later, it became even better because while we lost the Health Regen from grail, we instead got more AP based on Mana Regen. 25% regen gave us 5 AP. I have more to say but I'm genuinely kinda tired. My point is, there was never a time when we didn't have crazy levels of mana sustain and arguably now it's weaker and more conditional than ever. No upgrades to the refill pots, no mana pots, mana regen is less available as a stat, mana items are less common and mana management matters more than before because of champs being stronger meaning every bit of wasted mana is wroth more in terms of power than before. Fact is, you shouldn't ever run out of mana if you're playing properly. That's the intended design, it's a skill check for casters and that's all it ever was meant to be. Secondly, manaless champions are not these ascended class of champs who have more relative power at no cost. Most manaless champions in league require micro management of some kind (like the cooldown management and skillshot nature of Aatorx, Riven, Yasuo and Yone Q) to get their full value. Energy based champions often can't spam their abilities and missing an ability is costing them like half of their fighting power in that moment and they have to back out because of it or use their unique regen mechanic that can be counterplayed. A gnar or renekton that manages their fury/rage poorly will lose lane. Mundo and Garen are meant to be noob champs so while they do display this as an issue since they're both almost always really strong champs, their lack of complexity is meant to allow newer players figure out and feel out tanks and fighters as classes in the game. It's not s simple as just "I'm manaless chamion, I do the same thing as champ with mana except for free".

Reducing mana is just very anti fun and the best example is a champ like swain who doesnt need either malignance,blackfire or gun and would rather have a rylais into liandrys build which is way better in fights but it just makes waveclear an extremly unfun task as within 3 waves you are basicaly out of mana so you have to back constantly which at best is just annoying af and at wosrt loses you fights as you are out halfway through or are caught basing as you had to clear sidewaves. This would also give too muxh power to ad chaps as theu not only just do better without mana but also get a massive advantage through waveclear items like shiv and tiamat which could easily outlast any mage defending a splitpush very easily. And what problem does this solve anyways too much ability spam? Is that really a problem if everyone can do it

What if they remove mana regen? 👀

As soon as I saw what this "thing" looked like I turned off the video. Seek help.

The only champ in the game that really cares about total mana right now is kassadin. Since kassadin can actually use 4K mana and has to actually care about his total mana pool at any given time to figure out how many times he can use his r.

I just think every champ should have mana and forget all the other shit like manaless or energy or whatever. it may not make sense in the lore of league but theres a few champs that can go on forever in lane. but i dont think this is a massive issue in the game.

Garen, a mana less champion, has been in the game since its inception. And is rarely complained about. I think the big difference here is as you pointed out. He has higher than average cool downs. Unlike yone. Yet i agree that an element of gameplay is basically lost once so many "energy" and no mana champions is introduced so heavily. A lot of the early no mana champs, spent their health instead. And whilst we have seen that compromise on someone new like briar, her kit is so full of sustain that her hp doesn't matter either. I feel like in some ways. Such as ability resources being mostly removed. League is turning into to more of a fighting game, like smash or mortal combat. I think thats the ideal that league developers are aiming for. But its doesnt seem right because it doesnt fit the core aspect of the top down gameplay mobas originated from. Rts games, where resource control, and the budgeting of them, is everything.

Fuck manaless champions, all my homies hate manaless champions

i think the oldest problem here is you. that gay ass shit .. :)

It feels like mana management has dropped off in many games, guessing not being able to press buttons is not fun?

Manaless champions are a good addition to the game. Because it allows for other resource bars as well, which are usually great mechanics in the game. Mana as a stat is weird, as it doesn't feel like you can directly translate it into damage, but you can. You can use your abilities on the wave or the opponent with the knowledge that you have enough resources to use it again on the other one in a few seconds. It being a part of the game increases the skill expression of those with mana. The reason it is gated to be an early game constraint is because on the champions that have it, no constraint would break the way they get to interact with the game (think urf). A xerath with infinite mana early would legitimately be able to refuse interaction with his opposing laner without counterplay. Imagine a Twitch being able to W E every wave, clear it with no counterplay and then roam to another lane. Later in the game, they can do so and it's not much of an issue, but early, that is bonkers. Mana is very much so a meaningful stat with great reason to exist. But imagine a Riven being balanced around mana. Her abilities would have to actually be stronger than they are now, so would her base stats. Simply because she is forced to use mana for the casts. Idk, I haven't really structured thoughts on this to put into this comment. But I don't think you're completely on the mark here (although not far off). Mana gates are important. It's like energy. Energy champions can spam abilities during lane willy nilly and never really feel gated. But during an all-in, they get gassed out quickly. Mana champions have to be (more) thoughtful in lane, but in teamfights, if the ability is off cd, you can press it. Resourceless champions are tuned around the fact that they don't have resources. You bring up Yone, but I doubt he would be more fun to play (either as or against) if he had mana. They would have to tune his abilities around said mana existing, then you have K'Sante, is that balanced?

banger. love your aesthetic and vibe. hope more ppl find your stuff

hi, just saw this in the recommended, not sure why u only have 126 subs lol, great video hope to see more

I think mana is something of a problem. I’ve seen mana streams where people run out of mana but it’s because the “optimal” builds hardly recommend the two runes that facilitate mana regen (Manaflow and Presence of Mind). To your point, often times you only need to build one of these runes and if you play smart only some champs have mana issues. I think lowering base mana and having items that are cooldown & mana focused would be a solution. More spam & less power, or more power but less spam trade off.

So mana is a interesting topic as the game simply became faster and shorter over time back in the day it was normal to have 50 minute games with people constantly running out of mana during lane but now games are alot more compact, TTK is shorter and this leads to a interesting problem if u design more mana hungry abilities how can u reward a champ for it currently ? -Range doesnt rly work as current poke champs already manage to snipe for their entire vision range -Damage would make TTK even shorter and it starts to get into a "feels bad" territory if u would give a champion even more baseline dmg in return for higher mana cost -Cooldown is a interesting topic u could make it rly short and instead limit a champ on its mana but there is a reason riot had to rework CDR to haste and using mana in this way would just make it a CDR 2.0 that would eventually need to get reworked too The big issue in the room is that LoL already pushed the possible boundries and limits of champs over the past years rly hard and mana has no real place in it anymore if one day Riot came out and said "yo we are removing mana and rework corresponding items" literally nobody would rly care and this should honestly be considered

Almost 3k views. That’s awesome dude!

Rod of ages makes this man die

sivir e doesn't give mana

This is a part of a bigger problem I've been noticing, which is that so much of league is focused on early lane. So many of the mechanics simply become borderline irrelevant once you hit level 6

awesome video. i havent thought about this issue till watching! if i can offer some critique , i feel like the music volume at times where just a little to high in my opinion truly a very minor problem still a fantastic and well thought out vid!

What I hate about mana is the comparison to other non mana champs... for example yasuo doenst have mana and gets a shield for it... like what? other example is renekton ... doesnt have mana but gets fury which makes him stronger? huh? tryndamere even gets crit chance for not having mana...

Incredible work! Hope to see you grow your channel.

Get a job

What a coincident, Dota just nerfed arcane boots as it was a cheap item that let you never worry about mana again. One way mana can work is as anti snowball mechanic. If after a teamfight the winning team has to find a way to recover their mana then they cant abuse the enemy death timer as much.

U HAVE NO MANAAAAAAA

Definitely have what it takes to be an upcoming icon in the community you are so great and different and iconic

Well, watching/studying/thinking about league over 70% of your time and playing the other 30% will absolutely improve your climb. However, there is a difference between watching to kill time and watching to learn something specific. And I don't think most people below ~emerald know what to look out for in general. And just watching funny haha content is pretty useless to improve. I am more talking about educational content from for example 'jungle gap', skillcapped or whatever. Not their tier lists, which are relatively useless. Or vods of high elo players playing your champion/role. But go in with specific questions you want answers to and try to think about it. Ask others that are open minded. It got me to my desired rank (master 250LP) within a season from platinum (back when emerald wasn't a thing). Climbing higher isn't worth the investment to me, so I swapped to aram only and SR only with friends. Challenger may have been out of my reach, I don't know nor care too much anymore. But using players better than you to improve is a very good way to improve. On top of that, even challenger players don't know everything about the game. Some builds are undiscovered for a while by the playerbase at large. A few seasons ago I had a unique Twitch build, which got me flamed by the community. Until I talked it through with other high elo players, who then (after actual math and examples) agreed that it was probably even or better than the default build. Sadly the interaction it relied on no longer exists :( Rip shiv.

You forgot to go through another HUGE point. When your champion spike in damage and when to adapt the build, You never see build adapt 99% of league of legends time.

the fundamentos, have gotten me to master this split, I will never give up my fundamentos. Although I think it's important to take note that league is an incredibly complex game, and what alois says are "fundamentals" are actually fundamental aspects of the game, it's just that the fundamentals of league are very expansive and complex. The reason they constitute the fundamentals despite being so complex is because they're the base of what makes any good league player good regardless of role, playstyle and champion, they're the very fundamentals of the game. Doesn't mean they're easy, just that they're foundational to learning the game.

Dude said can you guess what the 3fs are my response: FUCK FUCK AND FUCK SOME MORE
