This guide has been really helpful as an aspiring mid player, would love a lane freezing indepth video like u mentioned. You do a great job at explaining concepts
I'm here for all the mid lane stuff. Watching your videos has helped me get a lot better and on a massive win streak. Just joined the discord and will be posting a video for review. One of my biggest issues is learning how to be aggressive early on. I get pushed out of lane and under tower a lot in the beginning but come back hard mid to late game
As a jungle main, I can say that the 3min river buff is not a favorable gank anymore from my perspective. I’d much rather power farm and try to gank a lane either after a full clear, or if I’m planning an early “gank path” the timing will put me in a position to gank prior to the river buff spawn. Sitting and waiting for the spawn isn’t worth the XP loss. 5 minute river is a MUCH more reasonable option to expect a gank/help from your jungler in this meta
Good to know, I know krashy posted his video and I watched it and saw his pressure strictly on camps, it's just you never know what the others lanes are gonna do. I've recently favored getting the rivers on my right now tbh, far less chance of ganks due to red clear. The ward on 2 camps does help with left river though.
I go between diamond and master, I'm primarily mid as The Fey... I also only solo queue, which is important here: Nearly 4/5 matches I queue against a stack where this tactic is used. Abuse the midlaner. They literally will sit 2 v 1 mid for 15 solid minutes of the match, AND/OR jungle, support, and offlane will gank me ever 45 seconds or so. I still rarely die from it, but it fully shuts down my ability to maintain my farm/level much less excel, while my midlaner will snowball and rotate to other lanes to make kills once I'm forced to back every 1-2 minutes. It's a cheap tactic, one that ONLY works if my team doesn't respond to either help/rotate or to push down their lanes. Being solo queue, they NEVER do either, and immediately blame me. The tactic would nearly be a guaranteed win for the enemy team, yet I'm often able to gain back ground after 15-20 minutes of the match and hyper carry us to a win (while still being blamed, despite having 3x the damage dealt than the closest teammate, 1/2 the total objective/tower damage dealt, and the only positive KDA often by a huge margin).
Just gotta call the pings, if the team doesn't respond FK EM! i do wish people understood rotation timers, there are specific times most mods will rotatez for example rivers, that they don't try and grasp. Just farm up, play for obj, like how everyone should play for.
when i lose my 50/50 and end up in mid lane as a offlane/jg/support enjoyer im going to love this guide alot :) TNX papaya After first wave i place my ward straight in the 2 camp and in the best world offlane or jungler put a ward at 5 camp and you can track them ez for this side clear :)
CS is creep score. its the value of a minion, red buff, jungle minion, etc. relative to gold. For example, I think ~ 12 gold is 1 CS , its not exactly the most accurate way of saying how much gold someone has, but having high CS is a good indicator that they have a lot of gold and XP.
I'm not the best solo laners probably my least skilled. But I might make a video of who I like to see as solo lane on my team in terms of what character is really good

I can also struggle being aggressive early, we can take a look at a vod review! I'm glad you have improved :)
Great video. Thank you for speaking clear and understandable English. It's a wonderful breath of fresh air in UA-cam videos

Mans got a whole damn powerpoint. Glad I came to the ted talk!
Gotta give ALL that info! We ain't got nothing to hide!

Glad you did! Lmk if u have any questions or even disagreements :)
+1 for the slide deck!
great vid as usual my papaya
Did u happen look at the tabs?
Just saw on your discord spreadsheet, amazing info there! @@ObeyThePapaya
Sick video dude! This type of content really helps the community out!
Glad to hear! Hopefully plan to get champion guides out as well
Great video! Thank you for sharing your perspectives on priorities and the ward placement. Slideshow slaps 👋
Glad you enjoyed!

Mans got the "just woke up" voice on, good info
No I waited 2hrs :) but I didn't speak much till then
when i lose my 50/50 and end up in mid lane as a offlane/jg/support enjoyer im going to love this guide alot :) TNX papaya
After first wave i place my ward straight in the 2 camp and in the best world offlane or jungler put a ward at 5 camp and you can track them ez for this side clear :)
Exactly the plan with the warding! Glad u can gain knowledge from this !
Very helpful, thanks!
great video!
Glad you enjoyed!
what is " CS " ??
CS is creep score. its the value of a minion, red buff, jungle minion, etc. relative to gold.
For example, I think ~ 12 gold is 1 CS , its not exactly the most accurate way of saying how much gold someone has, but having high CS is a good indicator that they have a lot of gold and XP.
Can we get a vid like this for solo please
I'm not the best solo laners probably my least skilled. But I might make a video of who I like to see as solo lane on my team in terms of what character is really good
