Me: _laughs in iron main_
Unranked?
@@anaxagoras9812 well my second account is higher than my main lmao
same bro xD
If you are in iron you don't need new champs. You need to pick one and get the basics right. That should get you to bronze really quickly. Cheers
If you want to get to silver quickly and easily I recommend yuumi, simple gameplay but you get a huge impact on the game

@@HakuuOfficial i think a % of performance that's why is imposible to hit 100
@@HakuuOfficial I believe Curtis is referring to when you start learning a champ (0) and when you know the champ well enough to consistently climb and play well without having to think about abilities, matchups etc (75)

We are so lucky to have someone like you taking the time to make all of these educational videos. Your content shines the brightest among a sea of clickbait "TOP TEN CHAMPIONS TO PLAY RIGHT NOW", "YOUR TICKET TO DIAMOND", "TRY THIS BROKEN BUILD TO CLIMB" and the same usual BS titles. You watch those videos once and you're done with it. However, with your content, we can watch the same video again and again and you'll always learn something new that will ACTUALLY help you get better and inevitably help you climb. Thank you for all that you do!
Means alot to hear this sort of thing man . Appreciate it
Perfectly 30 min long. So satisfying
I know

"I fear not the man who has done 10,000 kicks. I fear the man who has done one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee
expect in a fight where a guy can punch you, kick you and wrestle you while the other guy can only kick and you know you just have to avoid his kick
@@shadowtale123 But the one who has practiced a 10000 times knows exactly how you intend to avoid it, and also how to use it in situations you don't expect - like on the ground
That is the point of that quote. He may known only one thing, but he always knows how to apply it and how people think to counter it
While the one with 10000 moves lacks the deeper knowledge of any of them may actually use them wrong half the time
@@MinorZero that makes no fucking sense first of all at the highest level lets say some guy practiced 10000 kicks the other guy has problay mastered it simillariyl with 5000 kicks and 5000 punches and 5000 wresting moves like at the highest level lets say pro play in league, the one trick riven main and the pro riven player are simillar in skill with the one trick riven only being slightly above which doesnt mean anything cause u can just ban his riven and the other guy is still good at everything else at a pro level

Coach Curtis, aka Conductor Curtis guiding us through the League of Legends train tracks to help us get to our destination. Thank you
Love it
Hey Coach, Im from Germany and started to play League of Legends in May. In the beginning I played very very bad but then I found your Chanel and now I get better very fast. Thank you for this
Almost my situation, i started on April and i was super bad until i find this channel, im getting better since then
me after seeing the thumbnail:
brain +50%
So theres train A and train B... i know where this math problem is going and i dont like it teacher
The answer is electric trains have no smoke
@@jackdra The horses name is Friday

HAHAHAH the nightmares
But it's speed of A+B, and thus you have the speed, then you can use the speed triangle to calculate time.
i dont even think there is a word describing how amazing and useful every single one of his videos is...
Maybe we should create one: Coach Curtis-ey?
Thank you for the kind words man
Curtis can I just say thank you so much for putting in the effort to create these detailed videos. I'm currently working on my roaming and jungle tracking thanks to you. Much love
My pleasure Josh :)
Pumped for this video. One of the thing I enjoy most about League is picking up and learning the intricacies of a new champion. I love the learning, building knowledge, watching vods, reflecting, refining strategies, and breaking narratives of how a champion should be played. So cool.
You are such a fanTASTIC teacher. Your natural use of repetition and doing this all in like what, 1 or 2 takes? I haven't seen a single cut yet. This is just so good dude. Bravo honestly
I love how happy and excited you look when you deliver this content. Very cool to have a coach so passionate about the game. Thank you for all your hard work!
i feel like you get ideas for your videos straight from my head. thanks for the content Curtis really helpful keep it up
This is definitely needs a rewatch. This is such a content dense video that I need some time to fully process it. This is really awesome. Thank you.
Great video! Also, your last podcast was straight up inspirational! When Jonathan said “Focus on what you CAN do vs what you can NO LONGER do” that really hit me. I can tend to struggle with this in both my League journey and my life, and that quote really was fantastic. Great stuff.
Huge respect to you bro. No one can do this without the necessary passion for the game. I learned so much from this from the usual "tutorials" here on yt. You deserve more subscribers!
I appreciate the effort that goes into these videos, as well as your unique ways of thinking about things. I've heard a lot of "watch your games back" from people, I never even thought about taking notes or doing spreadsheets, I think I'm gonna try this out starting tomorrow 😎.
Man that first half of the video, it sounds like you're giving advice on picking up new skills in general. I wish you'd given yourself the credit while addressing it, you deserved it.
Honestly this has helped me a lot to know what to think about when I want to improve in a champ or, in general, at the game . Thanks you for your time Curtis :D
Yes, you are making sense lol. You explain things very thoroughly and with easy-to-understand analogies which helps a ton
Appreciate that man
When I want to learn anything about league, I come to Coach Curtis. This channel is the only one I truly trust and actually learn quality information from. So grateful, thank you so much, Curtis!
Curtis you really have a knack creating the perfect video at the right time for me
This is the best piece of lol content I have watched as far I can think. Your a blessing to the lol content community Curtis keep it up!
Honestly like I feel like I have to pay for this video
Thank you for the video, the "mental stacks" part was new to me and very useful! Great quality!
this video is really good, it helped me understand some concepts that were not obvious to me at first, also the mental stacks theory is fantastic! i really liked it and i believe it is true
I recently switched from jungling an an Udyr OTP to playing Cassiopeia and LeBlanc mid because I have too many mental blocks around jungling. Something that has really helped me learning is creating an excel sheet for matchups. In this matchup spreadsheet I keep track of Trading Patterns, Wave Location, Jungle Impact, Runes / Itemization (Could add sides and back timings). I have found skriming the matchups on repeat against my higher elo friends has proven really helpful. I've actually found that high elo vods aren't normally that useful since they focus on hard carry performances that usually require early solo kills that aren't repeatable (IE lvl 1 invades).
Also I disagree with the stance that you should play easier champions first to learn the fundamentals. The basic fundamentals of CSing and specifically trading are champion specific and micro based. It therefore makes sense to play what you enjoy (or intend to play in higher elos) so you can get the basics down and then learn the more general macro concepts which you'll need in higher MMRs such as roaming. But that's ultimatley my personal opinion and I may be slightly biased given I refuse to play Annie :) .
All in all very good video. Keep up the good work!
This is awesome Curtis, so helpful!!
I freaking love, how all of this, also works for other types of skills other than games, If you are learning to play an instrument or learning to draw, it works sooo similar to this you just explained in 30 mins.
Man I love your analogies Curtis. They always explain everything so fittingly.
Appreciate that dude
OMG I been THROUGH it lately with my ADC Main, Jhin... too many losses to even fathom that I was proficient last season. Finally broke the streak today and hopefully we are rounding the bend. Good video dude!
I am a jungle main but I still watch every one of his vids because they have so much valuable information that can be translated to other roles. Plus the videos are so well made that they are just fun to watch.
The most valuable videos are the timeless ones. I love curtis's videos because I can go back months later and refresh on trading concepts, or trading fundamentals.. ect. My favorite channel 💙 I'm also a top main. Cheers 🍻
Really liked this video and your last one on gladiator mindset.
I am a systematic learner and find league confusing to learn because there are so many factors in any given game
You've helped show things to work on which don't change one game to the next
What I got is this:
1. Before you can master the game you need to master your role
2. Before you can master your role you need to master your champion
3. Before you can master your champion you need to master your mindset
Mindset -> Champion -> Role -> Game
I never used to give much credit to mindset but you really showed how important it is with the last one.
This one helped really show how things like teamfighting and mid/late game should not be the first priority which is huge for me as I focus on them too much
Thanks
Coach Curtis is really amping up my game I went from Gold to Diamond following his advice
Not only did I pick up a few League Of Legend trip. But I learn a lot on how to learn many other things besides games. These points can easily be applied to so many new skills one it trying to learn. Thank you so much for sharing
Great video Coach! Only thing I would add that has personally helped me *tremendously* with learning new champs, is after spending some time in the practice tool, to just spam intermediate bot games for an hour or two. They only last 15-20 minutes (which you always say is very important) and the queue time is literally 1 second most of the time. You can limit test balls to the wall, and dying on a level 2 all-in doesn't doom the rest of the game, you can still get fed and just see how it feels in general to carry etc.
Now after watching this video, I believe why doing ~2 hours of bot games gave me some practice cs'ing, combos and all that good stuff. But probably more importantly let me experiment and get things down well enough so that I wasn't spending my first 5 to 10 games on a new champ more or less just running it down because if I was behind I didn't want to just play it safe under tower in a normal match, I wanted to test out the champ. If things went too poorly too many games in a row, I'd start thinking things like "Oh, well I guess I'm just not good enough to play Sylas" .. So I reckon the reason it helps me so much when learning a new champ, is I get the agressive all-ins and crazy flash+ult plays out of my system, I know I can double/triple kill and do successful tower dives on bot enemies, so I don't try to force near as much for sake of "learning", which means I feed less when I do go into normal matches, and then I prevent getting a lot of those negative emotions and mental blocks you talk about.
Anyways thats my 2 cents and a little anecdote on how some of the stuff from this video applied to something I had tried out on my own and found that it helped a lot. I first did bot games to practice a full jungle clear into ganking top, which will be a 1v2 lane in a bot game if are jungling. It helped so much that I did it for laning champs now as well and its so simple and effective and less "boring" than just the practice tool.
Good luck climbing anyone who read all of this :)
Your educational videos are brilliant and I can only feel grateful for them. I keep learning a lot from you :) Keep up the good work!
Thanks man !
The pyramid of what things to focus on and learn really resonated with me, it was really easy to understand and there was a bit of a lightbulb moment of why I struggle to learn new champs. Great video as always Curtis!!
Brilliant, thanks for tuning in Kasumi :)
thank the heavens ive been needing this video, im determined to learn new champs but havent found the way to do so. I just sat through it while finding my jungler but i adore a lot of the midlaners so im making it my goal this season to figure out how to lane again
21:50 is EXACTLY what dopa was talking about with his "Attention Theory". Very interesting to see it's considered and applied to other games as well
Yes yes and YES! I have been trying to figure out how to explain all of what you said to my friend group cause they keep doing all those wrong things and they just don't believe me when I say to not do all that because it's screwing them over. Thanks a ton for the vid and I'll be posting this in my server!
The video is really helpful, I've been in that losing streak sometimes and it feels awful. I just want to add something that helped me a lot when learning champs, I call it "learning by proxy". It is simply watching streams of people that are good at the champ I want to learn, not playing the champ. I feel like by simply watching a lot of games my champion mastery increases to 30 (using Curtis' terms) which increases the value of the practice games since game 1 and avoid frustration since you're never new to the champion.
Great video, at a great timing. Thank you
Goodjob man when i started watching your videos you had less than 10k subs now youre getting to a 100k keep it up man youre helping alot of us to grow and you deserve it goodluck
I have been waiting for a video like this for a long time, Much well said and i even took a lot of information from this, that will make me a better player. You continue to impress and nothing less. Much love.
Thanks man
Im a simple man i see Coach Curtis i like it.
14:16 I never thought that, but makes a lot of sense, Just subscribed for that advice.
I was a pro fighting game player before and your "learning other fighting games"analogy really resonates with me for learning a new champion
This video has helped alot 🙂
After this video I will pick up orianna
glad I could help you out man
Fantastic video! As a Tekken player, I use a very similar idea when finding and learning new characters on that game
this content is amazing, learning to learn is truly the most important skill
Man, I'm so glad that i found out your channel. Your videos are VERY helpfull in improving. After TF guides and this video quality of my gameplay has dramaticaly increased. Keep up the amazing work. P. S sorry for my english I've been learning it for a year now :P
the note one and the reward yourself one..
now i know why i enjoyed playing yorick a long time ago, cause i loved seeing my scores at an all time high, like 10+ csm & stuff. and as the result i played more confidently and carried a lot of games cause i voiced my thoughts about the given situtation of the game.
for the notes, seems pretty solid to me.
ty for reminding &stuff
Came back for this one-amazing video still after a whole season, universal knowledge to possess.
14:12 meanwhile TFBlade with his 300th unranked to challenger account.
Damn, first half I gave you a like. But when you started talking about the fighting game concepts it really hit me. I'll subb !
really useful video. Hit plat playing galio, after watching your older video on learning assassins I decided i should learn some.
This video just OOZES quality. Feels like I’m watching a college course! Good job!
cant wait for every video of yours
I one tricked Yasuo from bronze 5 to plat 3 and one thing that was a big help in terms of my attitude was the fact that most of the time I played to improve instead of playing to win which ironically is better for climbing, because of this loss streaks didn’t degrade my morale as much. Another huge help was that since I loved playing him I was never demotivated to learn him so burnout from playing him was very very rare (tho there were still times I was frustrated with how bad I played). I’m currently learning akali to two trick her with yasuo and I really appreciate u uploading this ik this will be a good help. Keep up the fire uploads
Curtis is very proud of his analogy it's insane but i gotta admit it's perfect
best thing to do while taking a food break from league is watch a video from Coach Curtis :) thanks for the awesome content once again!
The mental boom happened to me too, I got tired of feeding with a champ I wasn't good at, went back to my main and kept losing, even got demoted and was wondering what the hell am I doing wrong??? The more desperate I got to win, the more I lost... Then I decided I will go back to my mains only with the intention to learn more about the game overall, and it's working great right now...
He advised in a different video to stick with one champion in the beginning, to be able to learn the game, which will improve your overall play. Because if you keep switching champions, you won't get to the level where you can focus on anything else other than the mechanics of your champion and you will be always stuck at the same rank.
Im gonna be honest i found you recently but hey some solid content here like legit stuff helped me a lot thx man
0:36 I haven't finished the video but I'm impressed with your arrow drawing skill already
This video is one of the highest quality videos I've ever seen, and I'm gonna attempt to use all those tips in Jungle
Great video. I'm totally the example of the player D. GM at sc2 came across and have never passed D3 which was 5 seasons ago now. Going to try one tricking this season and will give the note learning system a go. Great content! Thanks again :)
Thanks for this video. I main enchanter supports and I want to learn jungle this season...got a different account to learn but I've been nervous about the switch. This gives me a more detailed/focused approach and makes it feel less overwhelming.
man everything u say is so true and so helpful ur one of the best league coaches out there thanks alot curtis and im very greateful for ur content
I wish this had come out 2 years ago when I was starting out. Would've saved a lot of frustration!
OMG Curtis, such a helpfull video!
I am hardstuck in iron/bronze, because of my lack of confidence. I have a lot of bad deaths, and often play one loosing game after the other, often chaining 5 losses one after the other. I think I will try some of your Tips right away
Yo, my man you are amazing. You just recapped my whole league experience in this last like 2 months. I am usually a support main and I wanted to have a strong second role in midlane so I started playing Lux since I just really like her kit and in the beginning it felt good. Then the loosing streak came and then on top of that the new season. S11 just screwed me over and I don't know when I won midlane the last time, I am perma stuck in that loosing streak and I gave up just like you said many would and just started playing support again (morgana is so broken). But now Coach you motivated me to get up on my feet and try again and I just want to thank you for your fantastic both educational and inspirational videos. Thanks from all of us and keep up the good work Coach.
Thank you so much for the kind words ! I'm glad I was able to help you out :)
Another goated video from coach Curtis. Really wanna try to climb and hit d4 this season, will be looking over your videos quite a bit
Great video even 3 years later!❤
Glad this video showed up in my recommended, this guy teaches better than my teachers did in school
Easily the best lol content out there. Althought the videos are long and detailed, Curtis always covers the in depth concepts I feel other content creators tend to ignore. Almost as if they make their videos a little over 10 minutes just to collect ad revenue. Hands down my favourite lol educational account!!!
Thank you so much man
Thank you Mr Morgan!
The fighting game examples were so big for me in this video. As someone who came to league from a fighting game background, I can relate to everything you mentioned about mental stacks, priotization, and small victories because of the amount of fighting games I have learned and the videos I watched over the years. I see that you're a Sajam fan or at least have watched his videos because the way you talked about these concepts are the exact ways he has discussed them. Especially the "deep thinker" mentality which iirc was talking about Leffen learning Tekken 7. Great video coach. I'm a jg/supp main but the quality of info in your videos is just too good to pass up. Wish I could join the discord but I don't really play mid so oh well lol
Also a jg main/fg player I concur^^
Reminds me of when I try swapping mains in a fighting game.
You make it look like science and I like it
Fascinating topic! I have a great tip on a topic that relates to this video: how to find new champions for your champion pool.
Essentially, my method of finding new champions to play (and be mindful, that this has very little on learning the champions for real) is to go play a few ARAM games and play champions you would not pick in normals. When in game, don't focus on winning, but rather using then champs abilities and reading tooltips and trying flash-ults and stuff like that. Basically think about it being a sandbox. Of course you still want to play the game and try to win, but it's not the most important thing at least for me when doing this.
This way, I've found many champions (Kassadin, Diana, Zac, Galio, LeBlanc and so on...) to work on in normals. Plus it's a ton of fun especially with friends!
These videos have turned my 35% wr into 65% wr. I started to play few months ago and now preseason im more focusing on improving my gameplay rather than climbing.
Awesome video! I watched the whole thing and feel like I got a lot out of it.
I go from producing music to learn champs in my freetime but this is helping me get better a a new champ I pick up.
Hey just found your videos today and have learned so much already. I have a lot of fighting game background in Tekken and used to participate in tournaments for many years. I used to do decently well in tournaments; the Tekken scene is mega behind League but I was probably around an "Academy player" in skill when I used to compete. The idea of the mental stack is something I'm highly familiar with but didn't really define or create a term for before.
When I think about it, you're not really reading too much into it because that's exactly how it is (for fighting games at least lol). When I play Tekken there's so much going on but I'm able to hone in and focus on doing "what I need to do" which is only a few things (from my perspective). For someone who is new to Tekken there is so much minutiae but since I am a seasoned vet the minutiae "isn't in my stack" and I'm prioritizing win cons instead. Right now I'm trying to leverage my fighting game experience into League but it's been slow because it feels like I lack game knowledge and also correct instinctual decisions i.e. champ mastery
Thanks Curtis! I really needed this! :D
No problem at all Lina
I just gotta express my gratitude thanks to your videos i manged to get a 10 winstreak in ranked. Which eventually got me into plat.
Love it man
Very late reply, but as a fighting game player who only just got into league recently, what you’ve said mostly checks out. Overall it’s super cool to see you taking lessons from the comparatively small fighting game scene. Mental stack is a very good way of describing how held back someone is when they’re new with the champ and focusing on basic ability cooldowns etc.
Regarding the part of playing the situation a bunch of times, idk if I would exactly call it mental stack but it is relevant information. People say top fighting game players have godlike reactions, well it’s less that and more that in the game they’re playing, they(and even any experienced good players to a lesser extent) can tell from the situation they are in(ranges, health bars, stage positioning etc) what moves are most likely to come out. Then the reaction is actually faster, being a huge deal for league in particular as many of the skillshots are balanced around being “reactable”. I think you touched on that fairly well with the Graves smokescreen example, if you’ve played against Graves in that position/range of the skirmish before, it’s much easier to avoid rather than only relying on your reactions in a vacuum.
Lastly regarding the 4 players example, I’d say it’s pretty on point. Just that for the most part, smash bros scene and other fighting games scene are kinda limited in shared player base (I play many fighting games including smash bros as well but that’s exception to the rule, even at pro scene). At the top level, it’s mostly just the traditional 2D fighters like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Marvel vs Capcom, Dragon Ball Fighterz and Guilty Gear where players jump around each new title. The skillsets between smash bros and Tekken and 2D traditional fighters is just too different at the top level with only a few exceptions. But the fundamentals thing makes sense from what I heard :)
thank you for these videos :) im planning to stop being d4 hardstuck and climb higher this season and hopefully with your help and some practice I'm gonna do this :>
Ey Curtis, just wanted to let you know i love ur channel! I am a toplane main but the videos are nice and chill, and so informational
Love it man! Appreciate you tuning in regardless
The best, most genuine, wholesome league content creator in UA-cam. THANK YOU SO MUCH KING CURTIS❤❤👑
Mate id legit pay for these vids, thanks for giving these tips out for free
I think the small victories thing is a big thing working against me right now and something I should starting rewarding myself for. I moved away from mid lane to practice in the jungle on the off season because it’s a role I’ve always wanted to have known as no other position comes close to the fun of mid lane and jungle. So, I started weaving in alternate blocks for jungle practice in between playing with the new items. Since I am an assassin addict, I play Evelynn. I don’t win anywhere near a positive amount of games. I just have wins in my loss streaks. I recently got into the habit of sharing my vods with my friend. It was a few days ago that really drove your last point home when I was showing a lost game cause I wanted to share a few plays when he started complimenting a lot of thing I’m doing. I realized that the progress was so gradual that I was still seeing myself as a jungle newbie who knows nothing yet but power spikes carried over from mid lane. I’m reacting to the enemy jungler when they make a move. I’m staying healthy in my jungle, I’m coordinating for objectives, I’m relieving pressure off my laners, I set up ganks. I’m often doing these things without thinking and I never give myself the credit for what I’ve picked up. I was so laser focused on all the things I’m getting wrong, messing up, or don’t know that I didn’t see the list get smaller. Now my reviews are three-fold: What do I keep doing wrong? What have I done right? What did I learn?
This has changed how I approach learning and has helped with dedication and confidence to where failing or losing feels less like either and more like learning. To where after the disappointment of a loss hits, my mind immediately goes, “Well then there must be stuff to note, let’s hit the vod”
Youre a fuking scholar mate! you actually bring coaching to a whole dif level! Probably the best channel on youtube to learn the game.
Thank you.. i needed this
Damn this is exactly what I needed to hear at this moment in my life. Thank you
Perfect timing, love it
Hi Curtis, in my case I started playing league a few months ago and now I am in the process of learning some champions for my champion pull. This is just what I need, Thank you!
I am a psychology student, and the concept of the mental stack reminded me a lot of cognitive psychology theories about information processing. More than anything, how does working memory work when learning a new skill. For example learning to drive, at first you have to pay attention to the speed to pass the changes, look in the mirrors, etc. but as one internalizes all the basic concepts, you can expand the working memory capacity to be able to add new concepts.
Yeah man you are spot on, this is essentially working memory at play.
