    One of my favorite quotes that sticks is my mind is from the WH 40k book "Saturnine" when one of the generals of the most important war in the history of the universe says:
    ‘He told me… and understand this, he was willing. He was glad to share a technique with me. He told me that data can blind. The weight of it. The burden of detail. Especially if one engages with it without a break or rest.’ Perturabo looked at the chart rolled out in front of him. ‘He told me he had learned to step away,’ he said. ‘Step away, even at the height of conflict, if you can believe that? To clear his mind and focus, to shed the extraneous and the superficial. To contemplate. To reduce the immeasurable complexity of the arithmetic down to simple principles. Thus renewed, he would return. Do you know what he would do then?’
    ‘No, lord.’
    ‘He would win, Abaddon. The bastard would win.’

    To answer to Audrey's mailbag question as someone who came FROM a 1v1 game to League of Legends, I think League provides you a far more accurate environment to the "real world".
    Being able to control every variable on your own, track your own improvement, and know why each mistake occurs makes the process MUCH easier and more applicable.
    But having to sort through the bullshit, the griefing teammates, the unclear losses, and everything else provided me with an ESSENTIAL lesson in my day to day life. It taught me how to drown out the noise and not get bogged down in everything outside of my control.
    Life is not a closed system, there's constantly inputs and outputs that you can't control, and adapting to those is an important skill, just like this episode talked about. Sure, fighting games and RTS games give you a more clear point A to point B, but thats not what improving in real life is like 99% of the time. Thats what makes League so beautiful while also being the reason that many people curse the game and swear they hate it. Life sucks sometimes, and so does League.

      @Amaling Před 7 měsíci +4

      Hmm, that's a pretty interesting point. I'd say for me it's actually the opposite perspective lol
      I came to league from fighting games as well, basically my hand got injured and fighting game inputs were too much compared to how little your left hand has to do in a moba. It was the closest thing that scratched the itch for me my body would allow basically
      League being a more accurate environment of the real world could be perceived as positive, or a negative depending on perspective. From my perspective I already experience that type of environment yknow in the real world, and there are probably better ways to improve that skillset than league I'd wager
      My career is also pretty meritocratic and often isolated as far as careers go, so I end up getting a lot of value out of the type of improvement provided in 1v1 games
      It's really great how much variety the modern gaming ecosystem has huh? There's definitely problems, but once we can find ones which fit us as individuals there is so much fulfillment and reward from them

    Maaaaan, yet ANOTHER personal attack episode... Recently took a break for a week, came back 3(?) days ago, loss streaked, then demoted. I'm not gonna lie fellas, I definitely cried myself to sleep, wondering WHY I couldn't perform the same as I did before my break...
    The answer? Stop putting so much goddamn pressure on yourself to perform. Game is hard as shit, and even though I've been playing for more than a decade at this point, I still feel the difficulty at times. That is okay. Point is, forgive yourself if plays don't work out the way they did in your head. If you make a silly blunder that you've AVOIDED 10,000s of times before, laugh at it. After my nighttime league-fueled crying session (LMAO), I reflected on how I felt, and discovered that I was simply putting too much pressure on myself. So, I told myself, I'm not gonna try to learn new champs right now anymore if climbing is my goal. I told myself, I should only be playing the champions I know and love if I want to climb, learning is a separate goal entirely. Both can be achieved concurrently, but you will NOT have a fun time. One at a time grants maximum fun. Maximum fun grants maximum learning.
    The next day after my bedtime cry, I went on a 5 game winstreak with my main man Lucian with my newfound mental. The games were not stomps. They were not pretty. I did not get fed. My KDAs were horrendous and not appealing at all. But I did what I had to do to create the situation where we could, as a team, beat the ever living fuck out of the enemy base, towers, and eventually, their nexus. The difference? I stopped telling myself "I was going to shit on kids", because it would turn me into the kid getting shit on. I would just tell myself, "Man, I really wanna be good at Lucian again like how I was a few years ago....". I utilized the /notes feature that everyone has forgotten about since Season 2 (OG PLAYERS REPRESENT!!!) and jotted down really quickly after deaths WHY I died and how I would prevent it the next time. By the end of my blocked session, I was dying way less, and making better overall decisions.
    Change your mental for maximum, ultimate gains. Always review and think about what you can do different. Always.....
    (Haven't watched yet, just had to post this to let you guys know you've personally ATTACKED ME FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS IN A ROW. Good on you. GG...)

      a loss streak after a break should be expected. if you don’t loss streak after a break, consider yourself lucky. you can’t seriously expect to not play for a month and not have any of your skills deteriorate. the de-rusting phase is hard but continuing to play is the only way to break the loss streak, taking another break is never gonna solve that problem 🤷‍♂️

    Hello, Coach Curtis and Nathan Mott. Under the episode 168, I've left a comment with the words of appreciation for igniting the spark within me to learn and improve. Today, after more than 56 blocks, I've managed to reach Diamond for the first time in my life. I'm a top laner, my champions are Ornn, Sion, and Malphite. I'm a full tank player because I genuinely enjoy being a massive rock and a living shield for my team. I had a narrative that it's impossible to climb by playing only tanks, but your podcast has motivated me a lot to push my own limits. Now then, I've managed to turn myself from playing really passive and being scared to walk up to perma baiting enemy jungler to waste his time on top side of the map while being undiveable by not letting enemy crash the wave, even if I have to lose my HP for that, so my team has a lot of time to do something on the other side. A frontline beast, a weakside king, all thanks to you and the guy Vayne OTP who's made the video from that episode.

And, as a tank player, I'm omega chill and don't really get angry in the game, just sometimes but it's whatever, we're all human beings. Wish you the best, too!

    I have played League since season 3. I would never fully dedicate to grinding because I would hit silver 2/3 and be top 50% and be happy just knowing I wasn't bottom percentage. I took a break for many years and then came back and my wife started playing after our daughter was born. Even as a player that was usually hanging out in Silver teaching my wife how to play and all the nuances of the game made me realize how much stuff I know even without truly grinding to climbing. This year has probably been the most dedicated to skill improvement I have been and I am playing games where I can solo kill golds and plats and realizing I probably could have climbed the whole time and should have just been willing to grind. But there's a ton to learn in Leaugue and anyone who plays a lot even if they aren't diamond probably knows a lot more about the game than we can even properly asses because League is such a dense game. My wife has been playing 6 months and there's just a lot to learn for her and she gets hard on herself sometimes and I'm just telling her to take it one role and play style at a time and learn her champs and have fun. Some folks are just really good at the game naturally but many people just have to grind and learn and there's a lot to learn. And sometimes having hands hurts people's growth because they end up throwing games trying to hands diff a bunch and end up throwing leads all the time then blaming teams for not being carryable etc.

    Had to subscribe. Y’all touched on everything I needed to hear about the mental aspect of this game. I have been playing since s4. Highest I’ve hit is plat 1 and now emerald 4. My biggest problems would be going on a losing streak say 3-4 games and continuing the damage after my mindset is clearly not right to continue playing. I’ll sabotage my own lp by queuing up while tilted and playing abnormal. I’ve been reveling my games more lately at an objective outlook and man sometimes it’s hard. Like when you said you have to reflect the next day you can’t do it that same night. For me now after a couple hours I’ll calm down and be able to blame myself for obvious mistakes that caused us to lose instead of blaming teammates for what I thought they should be doing. I love these type of talks because I know for a fact a lot of people are in that same boat of going on a massive losing streak and instantly getting new account cuz “this account is cursed” lol. Sorry for long message but this really resonated with me and all the other talks as well. League really is a mental game and when you have a positive outlook you really do enjoy the game much better. Salute brothas.

    Eee I'm so glad you two thought the question was worthwhile!
    I guess it really is that simple, there are other mediums where this improvement process is more efficient but it's still the best method of improvement in League as well. And yall just love League more than the other games. I think that's a pretty powerful state to be with regarding relationship with the game. Ultimately fighting games are just the most fun for me as far as competitive sport goes, so I'll stick by them and I guess I would have even if they were not such an ideal medium for structured individual improvement
    Don't know what else there is to say past that... hope by the time Project L releases I'll be a good enough player and mentor to do something small but similar to what you two have with League!

    To the point Nathan makes at 1:30:30 about I feel like I'm beating 5 people with my 4 people, it made me click right now. I am someone that played Age of Mythology when I was in high school and got to be in the top 100 in the world (this was like 15 years ago though). A few years ago, I wasn't having fun with League and got back into Age of Empires 2 (I tried AoM, but the player base is so small it can take hours to find a match, and it broadens the search so much I have played vs people 100 elo above and below mine, or having 300 ping because I get matched against someone on the other side of the world), and it was a lot of fun, but only for a while. I played around 3/4 months, got to around 1600 elo in the 1v1 ladder (which was around top 5% of players), but it was always missing something. I love the game, I keep up with every pro tournament, I watch AOE2 streams all the time, but playing it doesn't feel as fun as League. And I just noticed, I was missing that "I have 4 humans on my team and have to beat 5 humans on the other team" aspect. 1v1s are fun, but it's not what kept me playing League for 8 years now. Yes, sometimes it seems like my 4 humans aren't really humans, but it's a part of the game I love so much, and I never enjoyed a game as much as I do League, even if I'm lower ranked than I got to in those other games
    Edit: got to the end of the video. My kriptonite is 100% Lux support (not when paired with Caitlyn). It's legit the most useless champ in the game in that role, because she needs very expensive items to be of any use, and support doesn't have that amount of income unless you take all the kills or steal cs, in which case why play support when you can play mid and do that without pissing everyone off? She also completely screws me over, because I love playing ap junglers and mid is usually ap too so we get a lot of ap on our team and the enemy team becomes unkillable

    I have my own hypothesis about why everyone thinks the best are still bad: I believe it’s because they dehumanize the top to be these perfect %100 no mistakes gods when in reality they are all still human and they confuse what makes them good to be “oh they do these huge outplays” when in real reality the most important thing to be the top is consistency, not the one huge flashy outplay every 50 games or so. But then they see consistency as boring so it is not associated as the largest variable of skill to these players

    OK, I have a thought. If the mid live coaching is for the audience, could you lean into it by having the players point on stream but they can't hear you while you're talking to chat about what they're doing/should be doing? Then you bring them on for a quick debrief/review after the game? Or you just swap to something else when they end of review it?

  • @LuckyGnom
    @LuckyGnom Před 6 měsíci

    There is one thing that is good about live coaching for laners tho. It's when you hard force your student to do what you want to do. Basically, you say them "now we roam there" or "look there now" or "we don't join this fight we split push there" without any explanation. The idea is to show the player two things:
    1) How different is your thinking to theirs.
    2) To show them what is intensity really like, because most people don't even gather the information on the screen properly.
    I believe one off coaching session like this might be good for people that play for a long time and can't get better. Also, you can obviously review the game and explain your decisions afterwards.

  • @willgoodchild6242
    @willgoodchild6242 Před 7 měsíci

    As someone who learned the game through mid and is now a jungle main I think the main differences between live-coaching mid and jungle is the general speed of decisions required. For Jungle you 'can' be anywhere on the map and might need to be to have real impact. This requires strategic decision making, planning, and constant assessment of new information, often without an interaction with an enemy player. This gives Nathan the time and space to direct/guide the jungler. For Mid, these concepts are still there, but there's a player in your face distracting you. As Coach lists, the fundamentals that relate to Mid tend to be snap decisions. It's impossible to direct a player to punish a mis-tether by their opponent, or sometimes there will be things that you'll need to do instantly that if you do 1 second later, won't have the same impact or effect to do with wave management or a roam etc. In my opinion, the micro required to win as a midlaner is substantially greater than the micro you need as a jungler, and vice versa for macro (obviously you need both to be excellent..)

    41:11 This is actually the same struggle that gifted kids often go through. Since they never had to try at school and everything came naturally to them, when learning gets actually difficult they have no experience struggling with it, so they end up falling behind and their ego takes a massive hit from that, obviously
    Talent is definitely an advantage, but on top of that it's a different circumstance with it's own difficulties

    ngl in a very dark period in life right now , peaked dia for the first time in my life after never ever thinking I’d ever hit it , and it felt amazing and then went on to hitting d2 with ease , from there I was playing with master tier players and felt pretty good , proceeded to have a series of games where I was either grieved by teammates or I just didn’t play well enough demoted in and out of d4 and then I started rage queuing and demoted all the way to e4. I wasn’t too worried because I thought If I could hit it once I could do it again I was also told by master tier players and wings or death this is very common and happened to many people and this Elo range is very coin flip. I was then hard stuck from e3 and e4 for a few days and I snapped. I began playing roughly 23 games a day and not sleeping only breaking for food and restroom and then to sleep , staying up on g fuel and made it to e1 88 lp yesterday and demoted back to e2 0 lp. Yesterday I played 32 games. Im angry I’m frustrated and nothing else matters to me. I am just wanting because I’m very angry and I lowkey want to die. Some games people are smurfing from gm + and it’s just not fun and some games I can’t carry or I feed. I have tried everything from coaching to auto piloting to active thinking to a balance and I’m so so angry.

    @Nathan, Do you think it was complacency or over aggressiveness that lost you that last game? You said it yourself after the clip "I've lost so much LP that my season is over and I'll never get challenger now." It seem to me like you were in the mindset of this is it I'm really strong I need to close this game and you were trying to do too much regardless of that current situations win condition. I wonder if that is causing you not to see 0-6 rengar as a bait to your throw condition with your mental state in that moment. So desperate for that win you possibly cant see what you should do "let him die he is useless" when you NEED this win so bad right now. Also can help explain the overstay trying to finish the game earlier.
    Also, do you find Duo'n with Curtis that you find yourself playing around him too much and trying to force him to be your win condition? I've recently played a few duo games with a friend and noticed its more of a distraction than anything. I'm not playing the game, I'm playing his personal pocket ganker to the detriment of the game itself. Or maybe at a higher level you all can mold the game states more easily into position so you can pull it off.

      I played norms almost exclusively for years as an S1 player and didn't get into ranked grinds until like S6~S7 or something. That was around high Gold/low Plat, so it wouldn't be unlikely that you can still get plenty of value from norms up until around high Plat/low Emerald (probable modern equivalents).
