Trade patterns and learning when to fight back is more important than matchups. Even at level 1, DDang didn't just let Lucian jump on Janna and chunk her for no reason. He recognizes that Lucian wasted everything on Janna, so he's free to retaliate and fight back in Janna's favour. Too often do ADCs even in Masters+ not know how to trade. They just stand there and look at their Supports getting pelted and wonder why they're losing lane.
they are still viable but in harder matchups (like lucian) it could be worth it to go fleet footwork now, its worth testing for yourself to see what you like better
@@makisomaek I see , I didn’t specifically mean on sivir, but I’ve seen some people and pros use first strike on varus as well so I was wondering if overall it’s still viable
Is he not just playing on lower ranks? Ik that its new split etc but its dia/emerald border and he is consistently chall no? Im master and if i go to emerald/dia i can win on counter picks too
most of his audience can relate more to the gameplay if it is closer to their rank. not much point in teaching in a challenger lobby because that environment will never be replicated in an average viewer's game. do not think ddang is like zwag. he's not going into low elo for content, he's going to teach.
@@fr3941 watched like 2 videos of his and realized his schtick going into low ELO to farm trash content. his opponents are obviously way below his level its like watching an adult dunking on some children and then posting videos of it. cringe.
its not that hard of a counter matchup in the first place.Best thing to do probably try to freeze the wave and zone'ing.If not then just try to keep the lane even. Sivir scales better but at least you would be stronger mid game(probably)
the only counterpicks that matter are one's that can absolutely destroy your ability to have any agency on the game. as an adc there are bo counterpicks because you always have the least agency.
ppl be like “wah can’t play x adc countered by x adc”- whole time both leave lane with little dmg and kills set up exclusively by the support that they almost auto canceled on and lost to ignite
How is sivir countered by Lucian you can literally not interact with him all lane by spam one shotting wave from out of his range and you outscale him and can space him with ult late game
Counters don't matter much everywhere except top lane, that lane is hell lmao

Hello Professor, are the first strike runes viable even after todays nerfs?

@@spaceu5004 first strike is definitely still viable on it's strongest users, just maybe not always the meta choice in all situations

@@ProfessorDdang Do you actually not like zwag?

Hi, where did you get that background please
What are some ways Lucian could have played the lane better?
reincarnate as a different person

Great vid! I'd love to see the same type with vayne or kaisa.
Lucian guide when!? Keep up the amazing content!
Professor DDang should make a dating show called Professor Dating
12:54 lmao
where do you stream? how can i watch you???
why does he make it windowed mode before leaving a game?
Just exiting quickly rather than waiting for the whole end animation lol
3:40 why does he have to push the wave here? Since it's a cannon wave couldn't he have just reset and be fine?
Lucian thinks sivir backed, so he wants to push to make sure sivir loses cannon wave. I guess he doesnt NEED to, but it will set sivir back a lot.
it matters to me if im in my home elo otherwise idfc i pick what the voices tell me to
found the mentos!
more videos prof. !

i love silver 🥸
Explain the negative "matterness".
Will there be an APC guide or Ezreal soon?
How is sivir countered by Lucian you can literally not interact with him all lane by spam one shotting wave from out of his range and you outscale him and can space him with ult late game
I need this because I love ezreal but I stopped picking him due to tank meta
Just don't pick Sivir into Draven
nice
yeah I always thought ad counterpicks are not that important compared to other roles
FUNDAMENTALS MENTIONED WHTA THE HECK IS LOSING LANE???!!!???
try sivir vs twitch, unplayable even more
fund the mentos
Fanta mentos
This doesn’t count. Your team carried you. Do it with your team feeding them I’ll respect it.
