I actually think there is a lot of stuff high ELO players are out of touch with. I was trying to take ranked seriously. my account is lvl 283 and i've played a significant amount of league. At least a few years. I struggled to get out of iron and i'm pretty hard stuck bronze 4. My buddy said my MMR is fucky and said i should make a new account. My new account i trained it up to 30, played my privisonals, was placed in silver 4 and i'm about to hit gold. I do SIGNIFICANTLY better in these silver1-gold 4 lobbies than the iron 1-bronze 4 lobbies. My team feeds like crazy in the iron/bronze lobbies. on my bronze 4 account, i would have to play at a plat + level in order to carry how bad my team mates are on average.

You know whats crazy I put over 200 hours in this game and im still bronze Pain

Are there still relevant takeaways from this guide for this season? I realize there are outdated aspects (items like Everfrost being gone) but I'm curious to know if Ahri's build path is as versatile as it was in S13 even now. Or is there only one -effective- way to build Ahri? (like an assassin)

This is absolutely right. What ends up happening is a lot of people become addicted to the dopamine. They start playing with the goal of attaining it, and when they don't, it triggers rage. It isn't a healthy pattern at all and applies to many contexts

I will disagree to a degree, it's easier to give lazy advice because the average player is too lazy to work on intricate advice.

I love playing pyke support. Its fuckin wave states. Adcs dont understand wavestates and its so frustrating. Stop hard pushing the wave when you pyke is 3 0 3 man, i cant tower dive them, force them to walk up man

I've been playing trist mid and really enjoying it but I am iron, I don't understand why my rank means I shouldn't play it, I feel like you should play what you want to play, esp since it's not exactly like she is irelia or azir level difficulty

Sooooo you went 50/50 in bronze using the method you tell people in bronze to climb with… which means you wouldnt climb if you were to keep playing. Kinda sounds like you proved t the Reddit post right

I quit LoL a while back, so maybe they fixed this issue, but there is/was a fundamental difference to climbing in master, GM, and challenger then there is to climbing in iron through diamond. One has divisions and promos that will reset your LP, and the other doesn't. In master if you can keep a 52% win rate on your climb, you will increase your LP long term. If you can maintain 52% win rate over 1500 games with on average 16 lp gain/loss a game you will end up with around 960 more lp then you started with. The minimum LP to enter grand master is 200 and challenger is 500 to put this into perception. Below Masters, promotional and divisional games are/were things and dropping rank was/is east The problem with 52% win rate is it is extremely hard to reliably win the 3/4 games needed to advance a division or the 4/6 needed to promote. In addition when you failed to advance your lp would reset to a benchmark. You start a new division 0 lp. Lose 2 games and your back to your previous LP, but not at 100 LP, but at a predefined 60 lp. This means in order to advance a division you didn't just need a 52% win rate. You also needed a properly timed set of roughly 8 games where you only lost 2 times. If you lost more then that you would fall back to the previous/current division 60 lp. The chance of winning 6 out of 8 games at 52% win rate is: C(8,2).52^6.48^2 ~ 12.75%. So every division takes roughly 8 attempts to climb past (at 8 games each). This is in addition to getting to the point to climb. assuming 16 lp a game again. It takes 64 games to gain 30 lp and 110 games to get to the point in the process where you are oscillating between divisions (the other 70 lp).This means to gain a full 100 lp with a 52% win rate, it takes on average 175 games. If you played 1500 games like the master player you would go up roughly 8 divisions. If your goal was to go from bronze to gold you would probably need to play more then double the games a player would need to to go from masters to high challeneger, at the same win rate. The way to climb in below master is/was not with a 52% win rate. It is/was by getting better at winning games then everyone else your playing against/with. Not sure if LoL ever got better. I quit because this system was so punishing. After seeing the ahri drama I kind of want to come back just to ban ahri, but I am not sure my mental health could handle it.

Give me 4 unskilled people who think like you, and I easlly going to gold

Hit diamond thanks to this guide !

I need help, how do people actually do this, the lux just rush me straight up, she dont care about hitting minions

In iron you are not learning league, you are learning how to play a real time video game on a computer. Theres no shame in that. Ppl should manage their expectations and not get defensive over whatever they think is their "skill". Also casual gamers need to get told that League is not a game where time necessarily correlates to any progress. The gameplay loop is literally 30 mins - its closer to irl "pvp" sports than to campaign shooters, mmorpgs or round based strategy

Very good content, thank you very much for your work guys!

Very similar experiences for tristana on bot vs mid based off what I'm hearing except you have several things that make her harder to perform. You're in a 2v2 on bot, so your lane is dictated differently and "war of attrition" is not always necessarily a playable option. Your passive is a downside in unfavorable 2v2's because it forces you to forever push. You're against 2 champs, not 1, so your goal is to set up for support plays and hope they perform well and be ready for kill opportunities especially at lvls 2-3 and 6 when they decide they can move. If you don't get a kill by lvl 2-3 on tristana on bot, your game is going to be incredibly more difficult and you're hoping to play on a random jungle or dragon skirmish with wave prio in order to create some kind of lead, or for a bot lane dive by the jungler or a roaming mid for an advantage. You can't take demolish as a bot laner, so tower plate destroying is only a "sometimes" option as well, and then as you enter the mid game you might want to split in the same style in some moments, but now you have to do so while down 2 levels compared to everyone else, so you get less opportunities than you would had you just played her mid, plus again, you don't have demolish so its not as good as just dueling it out in a fight. It's much more emphasized on playing fights well for bot lane than macro plays. Basically tristana mid is easy mode while tristana bot is hard mode. She seems like such a better mid laner to me.

Bro has the dumbest takes out of nowhere all the time. You’re playing league of legends, the game where literally everyone uses multiple accounts for multiple purposes and literally no one that has played the game for a long time runs ranked on the original account they created, but it’s suspect that they play on more than one account? 💀

w vod

if Tyler1's strategy can get him to challenger in all 5 roles then its a good strategy idc what region its in, its obviously working.

i dont play league anymore but i like your cognition

This video should have been called coulda woulda shoulda--

Woof... I feel like my luck lately has been so bad that I've just been getting so many Auto loses every time I jump into a block. And it's nothing but ranged tops and blind picking into top lane counters... So I'm too demoralizing and tilted to capitalize on any of the games where I might have agency to be the carry because I've been slowly losing more of my focus and intensity every game day after day... I'm thinking I should just go play normals and start learning a new role or a new champion so the game can be fun again.

Bro what is this gameplay... How do you expect to improve with this gameplay? Just focus on the fundamentals. Focus on farm, stop trying to get kills. You're a Malzahar. You push towers.

I'm gonna need you to delete this video and release a S14 Lucian mid video instead, Mr. Curtis we do not need more filthy Tristana mid players on the rift 😢

gr8 stuff

bro have perfect farming perfect recalling perfect team fighting do you really thing all bronze people know all this staff? i mean sure they can improve their farming but map awareness and design making isnt something you get easily or everyone have it. dont take me wrong you prove a point you must learn how to be chill and dont do unnecessary calls to rank up but nah this play style for p.ssys we plat players hard stuck bronze bc we are not p.ssys

That tip for practicing CS under tower by placing an enemy dummy in your base in practice tool is super helpful

@CoachCurtis , I think you should really do a Yone video , since Chovy, Caps, Jackies, Faker,... seem to have play this champ since his release. I really think you're sleeping on him otherwise LOVE YOUR CONTENT!

watching this as an adc :p

My guess is that he's not going to be interested in doing this work because he's just "casually playing," not realizing that means that he's an iron 4 ladder player.

the umm at 20:23 with it being on the screen 1 second later is crazy. curtis iron 4 confirmed?

Just stop playing this game, I have never hit gold playing League over years; literally any other game with ranked ladders I hit gold/platinum equivalents easily; League is rigged.

There is no reality where this is legit. The guy is trolling.

btw he's not using smartcast, that'll make your life easier.

Players have gotten better in general too man. I've been platinum one season, back then I even met Ocelote in one of my ranked games, most other seasons I ended up in gold. This season I even touched Iron 1. What I realized is even in Iron 1 people aren't so bad, they know how to play their character and they cs really well. Could be I've gotten older, I'm 39 now, and lost my quick reflexes. So yea, I can really understand how people end up in Iron 4.

my frustration with this is it is almost a 1:1 ratio and a 100% replicatble thing on NA at least, if you dont compensate for others mistakes in this way, where you follow them into a bad decision, they will literally throw the entire game away in spite. this isn't confirmation bias, this is straight up a fact that ive had to deal with, so i have to find a line between helping and not fucking myself. even my last game had a galio vs me as velkoz constantly roaming bot and camping in bushes i literally could not contest vision for, i ping the bot i tell them exactly what happens, he ults them they die they flame me. then 2x ult i do the same thing i ping he's on the way, get plating like a sane actor, get flamed, so third time, i decide i have 4 plating, his roams have been horrible tempo and are netting him double kills because they are illiterate, so i try to roam to meet him and sure as shit he's waiting in pixel bush and flashes over bot wall and i die, you're put in no win situations by idiots, they dont understand the game and they demand you to do suboptimal things and if you do the optimal things they literally will throw the game in spite, so you HAVE to do suboptimal things to appease them. its part of the game, its another skill you have to master, manipuatling solo q teamates and holding their weak mental together is absoutely part of climbing. it's a balance act, the learning can happen in degrees, how much can you sacrifice vs how much do you just have to bite the bullet and piss them off, there's give and take here, it's not unilateral like you imply

I'm just into the video and I know the feeling. Years ago in season 6 I went on a 86 game lose streak. I literally could not win a game. I just got in a super negative feedback loop. Fortunately I broke out of it. But yea, losing a ton sucks.

Thank you for this MASSIVE lecture. As an 850k mastery Bronze I / Silver IV Tristana OTP I’m trying to get out of bot lane and this couldn’t have come up at a better time.

very thorough thanks for the insight on Tristana.

i just got plat should i consider the plat+ coaching or nah

the fucking bot just goes MID lane.. and i don't know how to fix it.

I have been playing for almost a year, as an ADC first, during a few months, and then as a support. I tried multiple champs, again and again, and I felt just so bad. At some point, I found out that Zyra was very good to climb (I wasn't playing ranked but my duo was, and I thought that we might play together at some point). I found guides made by an OTP, they really helped me understand the champ. However, I was and still am bad at dealing damage (poke is still very easy with Zyra) and the champ felt somewhat wrong. I started to try again various champs, but my duo had decided to play ADC with me (main jungle) and he told me that I had to pick a pool with basically 1 engage, 1 enchanter and 1 mage, which I did. At that point, I felt useless on the game, whatever I was doing. My ADC was also commenting a lot on my every moves, and... I really lack confidence and self esteem, IG and IRL, so it was not helping. We talked and he diminished his comments. And I don't know why, I decided I wanted to try Milio. I had kind of an affinity with enchanters, but had never found any that "felt good", like I was actually useful. Milio is really expensive, I felt like it was a bet and a last resort situation. Turns out, I really liked him. I was bad, but it felt good. So I started to pick him exclusively, which is good since it's rare to see him. I started to become better, actually better. I saw posts on reddit saying the champ is bad, felt bad, questioned my choices, but it felt good to I kept playing him. Then, I started convincing lots of players that my boy is gold, and it felt amazing. Anyway, Milio is my special champ. I love hearing him say "You can do it, Milio!", it actually motivated me in game. I like running everywhere, even if I am too often missposed. I like helping everyone, sometimes more than they imagine. I love when enemies chase me around the whole map and never catch me because my shield gives me MS and my ball bump them. I started to get more assists (that I deserve) and die less. However, I had developed habits linked to the character and my playstyle. And as I looked at all the bad habits, I realized I needed to diversify my picks to keep getting better. I also wanted to feel more proactive, but my own habits prevented me from doing it with him. I kind of started to resent him for that (I know, weird). So, I started to go back on trying champs, very recently. I like enchanters, so I gave a second chance to a lot of champs. Milio has helped me to gain some confidence, and I can now better play other champs, even though I still have my flaws (a lot of flaws). It feels so good to try other champs. I have started with champs that remind me of Milio for various reasons. I have tried to play champs with skillshots as I'd like to play hookers one day, and found out that Milio's q has helped me in that way. I still haven't found exactly what I want to play, but Milio is my feel good choice (though I try to take him when his kit is going to shine more). I am currently not ready to play engage. I have tried more mage-y poky champs because I want to work on that, but engage... I have a big mental block: I am going to go everything wrong, have everybody get killed, etc. etc. I know you have to try to learn, but it is actually stressful to me, more than the game currently is for me. So, I just can't, and that's ok, as long as I am having fun! Nobody is going to read that, but it actually felt good to write it ☺️

4 hours for my highest mastery champ? Yipee!!

I hope all of you trist mid players lose your games! Gl lol!

On the topic of streaking: What got left out here is the high likelyhood of just random streaks of the same result. Even a perfectly random coin will most likely have a 6 to 7 turn tails streak as its longest streak when thrown 100 times. Randomly getting 5 bad games in a row is much more likely than people seem to assume.

who the fuck is tristaner

Oh no swain is cooked chat

The mistake this video is making is assuming that you are, at some point, not going to lose all your towers 15 minutes into the game with the entire game hinging on something as one-offish as you losing a fight because you're the only human and you didn't aggressively flash

Never a miss with Mysterias and Curtis guide

Definite a bait post. He could afk and do nothing and still achieve 50% wr in iron 4

just got back into league and was playing trist adc should i swap to mid?
