Out of everything here, the thing I agree with most is Attention Theory. I can't stress how much this has played a massive role in my success on league
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
@@markusigod www.leagueofgraphs.com/rankings/rank-distribution Double checking, Silver 1 is when the 50% mark is crossed. Making Gold IV & up is the top 45%.

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
If you play support, track the enemy jungler as much as possible and move with your jungler at the right times to invade or get objectives. That takes a good bit of attention.
I started playing Warwick, he was my first ever champion, then I quit playing him because he was "simple". Now I tried him out again with the new items, after years of not playing him and I gotta say I missed playing simple champions.
@@kiss-shotacerola-orionhear1442 AD Warwick is more fun. I know you are confused but he has 130% AD scaling on his heals, but 90% AP scaling. So going lethality you get a lot more healing than going AP. Another fact: You can't build armor against Warwick, he does mixed dmg so whatever you even chose as a defense item, u lose lane. As simple as he is, the way the champion works is very interesting. Riot games ladies and gentlemen.
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.
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.
ngl feeling my desk move around from mouse movements or not having a steady elbow rest ruins my mental. But I've never considered measuring the optimal head-monitor distance.

Onetricking is the way i got to gold the first time with riven, the season after it was rengar who got me to plat, and then twotricking lee sin and riven is what finally got me to diamond back then in season 7, so yeah guys keep your champion pool small if all you wanna do is climb the ladder. Ofc play whatever the hell you want in normal games, but for ranked, spam 2-3 champs, maybe 4. But i would recommend 3
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
The issue with adopting any of this information into your play is that you actually can't anticipate what a low skilled opponent will do because they have no clue. In low elo, who knows if they will make the most efficient play or not. Usually they won't.
Yes but if YOU are playing consistently well you will climb. Just have a plan, and be consistent. Stick to it. The game is about being consistent and seeing results over a period of time rather than winning 100% of every game. Like, yeah, you might go on big loss streaks, but as long as you keep playing consistent over all those losses and wins, it will eventually even back out and you'll be at that higher winrate again.
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
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)

man how hot is that room, these earls red though
Thank you very much DongHuap
take a drink when you hear "concept"
Wtf 2160p quality Very nice
My man is a straight wrist player! Respect!
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.
Onetricking is the way i got to gold the first time with riven, the season after it was rengar who got me to plat, and then twotricking lee sin and riven is what finally got me to diamond back then in season 7, so yeah guys keep your champion pool small if all you wanna do is climb the ladder. Ofc play whatever the hell you want in normal games, but for ranked, spam 2-3 champs, maybe 4. But i would recommend 3
I agree, play broken champs until they get nerfed.
Nice video and perfect timing!
actually very good and actually helpful vid
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
1:15 that's Solarbacca's Cheater's Recall.
Great vid bro!
The issue with adopting any of this information into your play is that you actually can't anticipate what a low skilled opponent will do because they have no clue. In low elo, who knows if they will make the most efficient play or not. Usually they won't.
Yes but if YOU are playing consistently well you will climb. Just have a plan, and be consistent. Stick to it. The game is about being consistent and seeing results over a period of time rather than winning 100% of every game. Like, yeah, you might go on big loss streaks, but as long as you keep playing consistent over all those losses and wins, it will eventually even back out and you'll be at that higher winrate again.

Well now we know that Dopa has Obsessive-compulsive disorder
The mouse sensitivity is a real pain fr
Ele colocou o Jean Mago sendo jantando pela Seraphine 😂😂😂😂
Amazing video. Thanks man! (and Dopa)
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
damn it`s like the league servers sense dopa aa and intentionally delay for him to last hit.
I play leona and 70 percent of my attention was how to hit the enemy with my zenith blade
Best dopa vid I've ever seen
I love you DonghuaP
0:23 interesting transition flag lmao
Where is that league cinematic at the start of the video from?
Thank you for boiling down those ideas to elegant, useful, and usable points. Top-tier video, Doug.
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)
look at the QUALITY
Thanks, DongHuaP!
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
nice vid man keep it up!
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
Great video, could even use this in other esports
Great video man. Keep them coming. I think I like analyzing League more than playing lol...
9:50 the thing is that dopa has OCD, hence his commitment
