Yes it's the most important aspect. Tiredness and getting emotionally tilted massively affects how much and how effective you can use your attention too, that's why it's important to take breaks between games instead of just throwing yourself back in over and over.
I used to play for hours on end 15+ games per day but I was always hardstuck mid plat so I decided to use easier champs and sticking with 2-4 games(at least 2-3 wins before quitting) per day and tried to keep an above average winrate and a few months later I reached mid/top diamond. I'm still struggling to reach masters ofc but at least I have a chance now and not a plat hardstuck anymore. I rarely get tilted anymore but when I do I immediately stop playing for the day because it'll just affect my performance. PS: mute all chat helps a lot
Don't forget how Dopa told everyone on how to get Rank 1 on start of the season.

Dopa's "concepts" should really be just translated into "tactics." Tactics - an action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific end. This better incorporates the notion of executing small-scale micro+macro to achieve a predetermined win condition. Concepts are explicitly defined as "abstract" and "general," which aren't what Dopa is really referring to.
it's not really in between: the word "tactic" is more suited to these "concepts," and there is no aspect of these "concepts" that the word "tactic" does not completely encompass.
@@urbancohort4142 Tactics is sometimes described as tricks or quick moves to gain advantages (chess). Few other games view it this way to. After looking at the official definition i agree with you.

Dong: explaining in big and smart ways of why lucian can't beat seraphine Me watching the gameplay: lucian get big camp, lucian still push, lucian get camp more
Have money and LOTS of free time + nerves of steel= get good , there is no mystery . 90% of the playerbase do in game what "the pros" say to do and buy , not because they understand wtf are they doing or why , so 90% of the playerbase are braindeads who only do their command like robots without even knowing why or how it works. An there is the other 10% who understands the game and thats why they know what to do. Its like in a card game , the deckbuilders vs copy paste players , one understands the meta and the cards, they can craft and play with the tools and the other only see that it works and copy it without really knowing the why. Learning is the path of victory but people just throw into the same wall again and again, but learning is hard and takes time , is easyer to look for a guide from someone else, thats is the problem xD A summary of victory and glory , i know, np it was for free but not for apes. But a really good video really informative .
Yeah, when i was new i would just copy whatever a mobafire guide said to take as runes and what items to build. I know now that its pretty stupid but it's a good starting point for shitters like i used to be
The main reason that Lucian loses to Seraphine is that she has so much range, so much wave clear and scales so hard, he has a tough time dealing with such a safe champ before getting outscaled . The attention theory has something to do with it, but it's definitely not the main reason
Idk though, when you put it into average player perspective, attention theory is definitely very much the main reason. Otherwise why do we see a lot of 43% winrate hardstuck gold and plat fizz, katarina, and akali mains? Because they're playing champs that require way more knowledge of the game and how the champion mechanics play around that knowledge. These champs take up a lot of mental space to play effectively, and if you're devoting more of your attention into playing those champions well, you're not thinking as much about the bigger picture.
Him and faker are polar opposites. It's why I love watching Dopa. The mind games and the subtle setup battle going on behind the background is like watching a masterpiece puzzle get built piece by piece at a time or a chess game where every move is crucial. Faker's is flashy, emotional and very in your face like a sport like watching your favorite player pop-off and carry just by his skill alone. The duality of both is quite sublime.
thats not a level of comittment that dopa has with the mouse thing and level thing etc. thats the clinical definition of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. but unlike others with OCD where it takes over their lives, hes using it to his advantage. kudos. it takes a lot of patients years of therapy and medication to reach that point.
this is one of the rare lol channels I still follow even tho I don't play anymore. Videos are interesting and it's nice learning strats and shit and understanding why big players are big
Vision manipulation is why if someone goes missing but you have no vision to see where they went, you merely say "mid missing", you don't tell your teammates "Dopa went top" and then get your bot lane killed.

Dopa/Apdo's Q&A + tips&stories Dopa decided to do a storytime + share his thoughts on stream yesterday since its the end of 2015 If you don't know who he is he is a Korean streamer ranked 6th in China and is famous for being rank 1 solo queue in China/Korea frequently and being banned from being pro because of his boosting history. I'll divide game related / streaming+life related in two sections Game related He says jungle, top, support's solo queue performance isn't as important, however if a mid or a ADC is lacking in performance that's a huge sign that there might be a worrying trend. The champions he never plays are Leblanc and Yasuo, and this is because he never uses smartcasts (quickcast) except for three skills (Jayce E+Q, Khazix E+Q, Fizz Ultimate). He believes not using smartcast isn't for everybody, but he is past the point where his reaction time can cover the fast reaction smart keys give you. That being said Leblanc and Yasuo need smart keys 100% in their kit so he doesn't like playing them. He feels that the lifesteal/spellvamp mastery is heavily under valued. He checks his replays alot and he found out that the only time he died he was always not full health, and in high elo being able to maintain 100% full health is very important. He recommends at least taking 2 points on it even if your champion benefits heavily from other mastery He feels the best champions to pick in solo queue are: TF, Lulu first pick / Counter Lulu with Veigar, Counter Leblanc with Zed, Counter Viktor with Fizz, Counter TF with Yasuo, Counter Fizz with Ahri He takes careful attention in champ select to see how many playmaking champions (Lee Sin, Elise, Nidalee) there are and how many 'strong' champions there are (Fizz, Viktor, etc) and decide on the tempo of the game. He thinks Fizz is really bad in high elo at the moment due to flask removal, teleport nerf and how he falls off at 15-30 min in game if he doesn't get a lot of kills. Also his ultimate becomes weak after 4 items. He thinks cooldown reduction is heavily overrated and takes MR runes instead. He believes 1 good shot is better than 2 weak ones. He thinks that Chalice is a trash item at the moment since it's very not cost efficient and rather than Chalice you should go either Abyssal or Morello. He also thinks Rylai is a very trash item because bad cost efficiency and it has a lot of different effects but overall it's not a mid laner's item. However if your champion gets huge bonus from this item you should get it. He calls Mid laner a 'cleanup' position, and the only items you should build is pure damage. The only defensive item a mid should get are Zhonyas or Abyssal. Rabaddons got a cost increase but he thinks this item is still the mid laner's ultimate item. He feels this should be a 2-3rd item always, and also Void should be built even as a 4th item sometimes. Captain enchant is really underrated and is good for champions like Veigar, and it closes up opportunities for your opponents to make a comeback. AD based team comp isn't that bad, even if it's all AD there is always magic damage somewhere like thunderlords, and tanks having a few armor items doesn't mean they are invincible. Even if you are all AD, killing the enemy mid and the adc means you win the game so you shouldn't worry. However the best team comp is 2ap +2ad If you have a global ult you should get exhaust for playmaking potential (TF, GP, Karthus) However TF benefits from Ignite a lot so ignite should be better. He says there are a lot of differences in builds/setups but overall runes/masteries really don't make a difference in the outcome of the game. Ezreal is underrated at the moment, however unless you are a god ADC like Pray or Deft or Bang, don't play the blue build Ezreal. Ahri is the most overpowered midlaner at the moment. He feels everyone other than Faker is trash, if you are able to hit rank 1 you might not be, but you should be able to maintain at least top 15 or you shouldn't be considered top anymore. He feels that the most important thing in solo queue is to 'Transcend' the game, meaning accepting some games are won and some games are lost, and keep your mentality healthy. Once tilt the whole game is lost. Rushing Zhonyas on TF is a dumb thing to do, since TF becomes useless until he finishes Zhonyas. Just the defense from the armlet is enough early game and you should build Rod of Ages because it's overpowered at the moment. He believes 'mains' or 'master' at a champion doesn't exist, if you are stuck in that elo with a champion that means you aren't good with that champion, but you are bad with every other champion and can only play your 'main' to your elo's level. Streaming/Life/Stories He wrote a apology about his past actions in Korean and some people speculated he is doing that to return to the pro scene, but he confirms that he has no intentions of being a pro whatsoever He did get into one of the top universities in Korea as a business major but he thinks he will quit school since it's not much useful He plays Chinese stream for two reasons: money and viewer reactions. If he skips streaming one day, or is late they get really mad at him and if he says he will take a 1 week break they try to murder him. He feels the Chinese crowd love them to that degree and they love him regardless of what he does. Korean stream is similar but it doesn't make any money and it's just for the reactions. He enjoys not only people praising him but also people shitting on him. (He thinks the name Poopa is pretty funny) He feels maintaining top rank and streaming is a hard thing to do at the same time, if you are streaming your skills will fall. He wants to stream forever until he gets old He had a history of being toxic/raging in the game and in real life as well so he went to a doctor to see if he needs help, and the doctor said something along the lines that he gets mad easily. He will move back to China January 19th and hit Challenger rank 1 as soon as the challenger spots fill up. The pro players he respect the most are Faker / Clearlove. Their attitudes towards the game is just so different. I was amazed when Clearlove said on the interview that even if he wins worlds, he wants to be a pro player as long as he possibly can. It's rumored that some Chinese website offered him 3 million dollars to quit pro and start streaming, but declined. (Misaya ameks the most money at the moment with 3 million dollars in China)

Alr so this is very personal, counter play against a skilled poppy i need answer there is not a single video that helps me i need counterplay and not counterpick
people in my group chat trash talk me because im a one trick jax, i can't play anything else...but they're bronzies and im a platy, you just put the finger on what i was trying to tell them all along: you need to master a champion so that you could focus on something else in the game
When I play on a 1920x1080 monitor the game is good when I play on my laptop that is 1368xidon'tknow I rarely enjoy the game, the map is too short and other stuff
True, there's only so much you can avert your Attention to. That's human basics, we can't keep track of everything. Tho we can if we practise the champion enough and it becomes 2nd nature to us and we can focus on other things. I wouldn't recommend onetricking tho, I just focus on my few champions with similar style and goal. For example if you like Global pressure you should play TF, Karthus, Pantheon, Shen and Galio Or focus on a certain set of champions for example Tanks (Shen, Malphite, Cho gath) or squishy duelist (Riven, Fiora, Irelia) Tho I'd have a mix of both defensive and offensive so if you're a duelist player you play Fiora, Irelia and then Shen or somethin Can apply to Tank player aswell, you play Shen, Malphite and then Camille or even Juggernaut that still deals damage but is tanky aswell so Nasus/Darius Or Midlane mage, you then play Orianna/Syndra and as Assassin you have Fizz stuff like that, So offensive, defensive can apply to any role tho you can stick to Midlane mages till the end pretty well so you don't need an Assassin if you don't want to, or even Tanks, different to popular belief you can stick to only Tanks and do pretty well tho I do recommend to have something Offensive as your backup as a Tank player. I personally played all roles decently, not too good but not bad either so when I get autofilled I have my champs. So don't stick to onetrick but do have your ways you play the game that you can recognize.
That's why I like playing Malzahar, brainless shove, tons of damage and people not smart enough to get a QSS. Remember kids, theres nothing wrong with playing "noob champs" if it gets you wins. Also with something that requires almost no mechanics, you can think of spacing, macro and roaming a lot more than if you were playing Yone or Riven.

Learning is the path of victory but people just throw into the same wall again and again, but learning is hard and takes time , is easyer to look for a guide from someone else, thats is the problem xD
A summary of victory and glory , i know, np it was for free but not for apes.
But a really good video really informative .
Yeah, when i was new i would just copy whatever a mobafire guide said to take as runes and what items to build. I know now that its pretty stupid but it's a good starting point for shitters like i used to be
The main reason that Lucian loses to Seraphine is that she has so much range, so much wave clear and scales so hard, he has a tough time dealing with such a safe champ before getting outscaled
. The attention theory has something to do with it, but it's definitely not the main reason
you could say the same about his matchup against Orianna, but Lucian mid got popular as an Orianna counter
Idk though, when you put it into average player perspective, attention theory is definitely very much the main reason. Otherwise why do we see a lot of 43% winrate hardstuck gold and plat fizz, katarina, and akali mains? Because they're playing champs that require way more knowledge of the game and how the champion mechanics play around that knowledge. These champs take up a lot of mental space to play effectively, and if you're devoting more of your attention into playing those champions well, you're not thinking as much about the bigger picture.
Him and faker are polar opposites. It's why I love watching Dopa. The mind games and the subtle setup battle going on behind the background is like watching a masterpiece puzzle get built piece by piece at a time or a chess game where every move is crucial. Faker's is flashy, emotional and very in your face like a sport like watching your favorite player pop-off and carry just by his skill alone. The duality of both is quite sublime.
If he isn't good at League of Legends then I'm not good at breathing.
I like how a lane bully's weakness is a cringey tiktoker
0:23 interesting transition flag lmao
Basically : have OCD tendencies.
Well, this explains why I've been less successful in ranked last season as my champion pool got bigger...
thats not a level of comittment that dopa has with the mouse thing and level thing etc. thats the clinical definition of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. but unlike others with OCD where it takes over their lives, hes using it to his advantage. kudos. it takes a lot of patients years of therapy and medication to reach that point.
?
Its called APM actions per minute.
i feel like my brain just expanded watching this video
Actually one of the best strategy/mentality league video ive ever seen
this is one of the rare lol channels I still follow even tho I don't play anymore. Videos are interesting and it's nice learning strats and shit and understanding why big players are big
i only have fun playing teemo but he dogshit :(
Lol hes a Lane bully
Spam it out , get better ; you can overcome it
Vision manipulation is why if someone goes missing but you have no vision to see where they went, you merely say "mid missing", you don't tell your teammates "Dopa went top" and then get your bot lane killed.
That red-pink-ish ear cannot be unseen, damn :o.
If someone is really interested into how Dopa plays and sees the game, check out video(s) about him by Coach Curtis on YT.
Yeah his channel is so informative!
9:04 I totally agree xD... like, Once you feel comfortable and winning you don't wanna change it. Having a position where you can barely reach the keyboard, mouse, or screen too far for your eyes....
What a good fucking video holy shit good work
Dopa/Apdo's Q&A + tips&stories
Dopa decided to do a storytime + share his thoughts on stream yesterday since its the end of 2015
If you don't know who he is he is a Korean streamer ranked 6th in China and is famous for being rank 1 solo queue in China/Korea frequently and being banned from being pro because of his boosting history.
I'll divide game related / streaming+life related in two sections
Game related
He says jungle, top, support's solo queue performance isn't as important, however if a mid or a ADC is lacking in performance that's a huge sign that there might be a worrying trend.
The champions he never plays are Leblanc and Yasuo, and this is because he never uses smartcasts (quickcast) except for three skills (Jayce E+Q, Khazix E+Q, Fizz Ultimate). He believes not using smartcast isn't for everybody, but he is past the point where his reaction time can cover the fast reaction smart keys give you. That being said Leblanc and Yasuo need smart keys 100% in their kit so he doesn't like playing them.
He feels that the lifesteal/spellvamp mastery is heavily under valued. He checks his replays alot and he found out that the only time he died he was always not full health, and in high elo being able to maintain 100% full health is very important. He recommends at least taking 2 points on it even if your champion benefits heavily from other mastery
He feels the best champions to pick in solo queue are: TF, Lulu first pick / Counter Lulu with Veigar, Counter Leblanc with Zed, Counter Viktor with Fizz, Counter TF with Yasuo, Counter Fizz with Ahri
He takes careful attention in champ select to see how many playmaking champions (Lee Sin, Elise, Nidalee) there are and how many 'strong' champions there are (Fizz, Viktor, etc) and decide on the tempo of the game.
He thinks Fizz is really bad in high elo at the moment due to flask removal, teleport nerf and how he falls off at 15-30 min in game if he doesn't get a lot of kills. Also his ultimate becomes weak after 4 items.
He thinks cooldown reduction is heavily overrated and takes MR runes instead. He believes 1 good shot is better than 2 weak ones.
He thinks that Chalice is a trash item at the moment since it's very not cost efficient and rather than Chalice you should go either Abyssal or Morello.
He also thinks Rylai is a very trash item because bad cost efficiency and it has a lot of different effects but overall it's not a mid laner's item. However if your champion gets huge bonus from this item you should get it.
He calls Mid laner a 'cleanup' position, and the only items you should build is pure damage. The only defensive item a mid should get are Zhonyas or Abyssal.
Rabaddons got a cost increase but he thinks this item is still the mid laner's ultimate item. He feels this should be a 2-3rd item always, and also Void should be built even as a 4th item sometimes.
Captain enchant is really underrated and is good for champions like Veigar, and it closes up opportunities for your opponents to make a comeback.
AD based team comp isn't that bad, even if it's all AD there is always magic damage somewhere like thunderlords, and tanks having a few armor items doesn't mean they are invincible. Even if you are all AD, killing the enemy mid and the adc means you win the game so you shouldn't worry. However the best team comp is 2ap +2ad
If you have a global ult you should get exhaust for playmaking potential (TF, GP, Karthus) However TF benefits from Ignite a lot so ignite should be better.
He says there are a lot of differences in builds/setups but overall runes/masteries really don't make a difference in the outcome of the game.
Ezreal is underrated at the moment, however unless you are a god ADC like Pray or Deft or Bang, don't play the blue build Ezreal.
Ahri is the most overpowered midlaner at the moment.
He feels everyone other than Faker is trash, if you are able to hit rank 1 you might not be, but you should be able to maintain at least top 15 or you shouldn't be considered top anymore.
He feels that the most important thing in solo queue is to 'Transcend' the game, meaning accepting some games are won and some games are lost, and keep your mentality healthy. Once tilt the whole game is lost.
Rushing Zhonyas on TF is a dumb thing to do, since TF becomes useless until he finishes Zhonyas. Just the defense from the armlet is enough early game and you should build Rod of Ages because it's overpowered at the moment.
He believes 'mains' or 'master' at a champion doesn't exist, if you are stuck in that elo with a champion that means you aren't good with that champion, but you are bad with every other champion and can only play your 'main' to your elo's level.
Streaming/Life/Stories
He wrote a apology about his past actions in Korean and some people speculated he is doing that to return to the pro scene, but he confirms that he has no intentions of being a pro whatsoever
He did get into one of the top universities in Korea as a business major but he thinks he will quit school since it's not much useful
He plays Chinese stream for two reasons: money and viewer reactions. If he skips streaming one day, or is late they get really mad at him and if he says he will take a 1 week break they try to murder him. He feels the Chinese crowd love them to that degree and they love him regardless of what he does.
Korean stream is similar but it doesn't make any money and it's just for the reactions. He enjoys not only people praising him but also people shitting on him. (He thinks the name Poopa is pretty funny)
He feels maintaining top rank and streaming is a hard thing to do at the same time, if you are streaming your skills will fall.
He wants to stream forever until he gets old
He had a history of being toxic/raging in the game and in real life as well so he went to a doctor to see if he needs help, and the doctor said something along the lines that he gets mad easily.
He will move back to China January 19th and hit Challenger rank 1 as soon as the challenger spots fill up.
The pro players he respect the most are Faker / Clearlove. Their attitudes towards the game is just so different. I was amazed when Clearlove said on the interview that even if he wins worlds, he wants to be a pro player as long as he possibly can.
It's rumored that some Chinese website offered him 3 million dollars to quit pro and start streaming, but declined. (Misaya ameks the most money at the moment with 3 million dollars in China)
Thanks for the information but I think a gaming chair still helps more.
is there an actual video of dopa talking about this? i expected to listen to dopa yet all i hear is some dude talking about what dopa said
He says shit in his streams and ppl talk bout it
9:16 "Has to be perfectly level like a builder's meter."
I always called that tool a level. Its almost all it does, other than a working as straight edge.
I just wanna say something im an average player (gold tier) i got gold in one month by these three things:
1: Last hitting every god damn minion
2: Harass when enemy trying to last hit
3: Dodge enemy skill shots
That's it nothing flashy
Thats a very good vidio i hope you make more of this stayle. I like that you make a difrent caind of league guide a more cool tricks and tips stayle then the tipicle one
Sounds like the dude got a PhD in League of Legends
hi dopa im an eve main can we duo? its for lore or something x)
Where is that league cinematic at the start of the video from?
Learned all this in starcraft 2 against Koreans. If you can master multitasking and army of 200. What the hell makes people think I can do with only one unit(champion) lol shits been cake sauce since season 2
damn it`s like the league servers sense dopa aa and intentionally delay for him to last hit.
The challenge is that in Season 11 I think a lot about what builds are most op on my mains and that in clash my mains just get banned xD. Still, I play Yi xD
can you make a video on annie
Ele colocou o Jean Mago sendo jantando pela Seraphine 😂😂😂😂
I love you DonghuaP
6:35 MU?QUI?NHA?
Dopa you up to notice that Faker doesn't know how to approach girls and he can only brag behind his keyboard what comes to girls? would help a poor guy?
Damn this video just opened my third eye thankyou!
short version: be an otp
Everyone thinking that's actually faker... Yeah guys faker doesn't play on NA. Its a gold player in NA who just has the name...
funny cause its over a year and a half later and Riot still dont know how to handle serephine. shes OP as APC in bot now... its like it just switches - one patch she is broken in mid again, another patch she is broken in bot again
Alr so this is very personal, counter play against a skilled poppy i need answer there is not a single video that helps me i need counterplay and not counterpick
people in my group chat trash talk me because im a one trick jax, i can't play anything else...but they're bronzies and im a platy, you just put the finger on what i was trying to tell them all along: you need to master a champion so that you could focus on something else in the game
pretty much every pro gamer in korea measures his desk, chair, keyboard, etc. makes sense when you're playing for money. started in brood war.
"concepts" was the wrong word, "Principles" is the word you're looking for.
I know so much theory and i know what to do almost every single second of the match but i cant but it ij practice
>Me ready to try the 2 Q level 5 tech on TF
>Enemy Draven adc already at 11 kills
I've heard people meantion him from time to time but I didn't know what he looked like. Didn't know he was hot lmao 😳
priorities of league of legends
laners>jungler>map
the concept is not as simple as it seems
When do we get d Only Fans vedio😁😜
ahh ok so this is why im hardstuck plat not my team or me as a player is that my champion lucian is dogshit and no one mentally capable to play him
dopa is a thug and i like that guy a lot not because he is a good player but i just respect his attitude xD
reich/rank? Freudian slip or dog whistle?
only one problem, i’m bad
Denying the enemy last hitting is this dota?
He means forcing opponent to choose between trading with you and csing
You can zone the enemy by threatening to do dmg.
The video quality and information presented on this is phenemenal!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK DONGHUAP!!
Wtf 2160p quality Very nice
Just be a one trick pony.
-this video
When I play on a 1920x1080 monitor the game is good
when I play on my laptop that is 1368xidon'tknow I rarely enjoy the game, the map is too short and other stuff
The sad truth. I will be still stuck in gold.
Dont you guys think what he says is true he is bronze 4
side stepping on 100 ping OMEGALUL
6:33 nunca achei que veria o Mucalol num vídeo gringo sobre o Dopa
Sim mano eu tava vendo e pensei a mesma coisa kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Δεν χρειάζομαι την κοκα, ειμαι dopa
what is that 32 bit address at the right bottom corner
What's the cinematic at the start?
Now show how Seraphine stomps Lucian mid without perma ganks from her jungler and support :*
I am a simple man. Isee Hong Kong, I press like.
True, there's only so much you can avert your Attention to.
That's human basics, we can't keep track of everything. Tho we can if we practise the champion enough and it becomes 2nd nature to us and we can focus on other things. I wouldn't recommend onetricking tho, I just focus on my few champions with similar style and goal. For example if you like Global pressure you should play TF, Karthus, Pantheon, Shen and Galio
Or focus on a certain set of champions for example Tanks (Shen, Malphite, Cho gath) or squishy duelist (Riven, Fiora, Irelia)
Tho I'd have a mix of both defensive and offensive so if you're a duelist player you play Fiora, Irelia and then Shen or somethin
Can apply to Tank player aswell, you play Shen, Malphite and then Camille or even Juggernaut that still deals damage but is tanky aswell so Nasus/Darius
Or Midlane mage, you then play Orianna/Syndra and as Assassin you have Fizz stuff like that,
So offensive, defensive can apply to any role tho you can stick to Midlane mages till the end pretty well so you don't need an Assassin if you don't want to, or even Tanks, different to popular belief you can stick to only Tanks and do pretty well tho I do recommend to have something Offensive as your backup as a Tank player.
I personally played all roles decently, not too good but not bad either so when I get autofilled I have my champs. So don't stick to onetrick but do have your ways you play the game that you can recognize.
This video = play basic moba tactics.
That's why I like playing Malzahar, brainless shove, tons of damage and people not smart enough to get a QSS. Remember kids, theres nothing wrong with playing "noob champs" if it gets you wins. Also with something that requires almost no mechanics, you can think of spacing, macro and roaming a lot more than if you were playing Yone or Riven.
