Honestly what's so good about your Road to Rank 1 series is that it consistently demonstrates what you show in mid lane fundamentals. It helps me retain the knowledge and apply it better.
Thank you for trying to minimize smurfing in your climb to the top :)
honestly the most amazing and well put together guide ive seen. i wish there was something like this for junglers in particular but alot of the mid/late game still applies.
Normally when i watch some educational league content im getting kinda bored after like 5 minutes but your commentary in these road to rank 1 games is rly good and im really enjoying this. Keep up a good work King
Hey Shok I've been watching your videos for a while now and they have helped me so much, I was someone who couldn't even keep up in draft because I was so bad and now I'm in the total opposite of that, Thank you so much for these guides as they help alot new league players, just like me, and the amount of effort you're putting in these guides, the examples, and how you actually make it entertaining and super educational at the same time is insane to me, I hope that everything is going great for u and again tysm
Thanks for the kind words :D
Great video Shok, very excited to see the rest of the games!
Great video! Didn't expect a recap episode
Love your content, i'm a coach in another industry and your coaching method is so textbook for making genuine change in clients. Clear actionable logical advice, really good man.
Wow thank you
Thanks for this. Your educational content is top tier and isn’t just for high elo. Thanks!
this video is super super informative thank you so much for amazing educational content!
GREAT VIDEO SHOK KEEP UP THE AWSOME GUIDES
Always a pleasure, crazy value/content thx Shok
I actually picked up some new things for me, wow. That's a nice guide, thank you!
I see a lot of videos promising what you're saying you can teach. But this genuinely is one of the best educational videos about climbing I've seen! Tysm
Shok! Thank you for your content! I would loce to see a guide of yours where you explain how to play assassins.
Honestly i would have loved for this to be the intro up till
"I promis this video will be different"
Followed by "just farm more die less" into blackscreen with "see you next time" written across for 18 min
That wouldve been funny af
ur hired
Very insightful thanks I can feel the challenger rank aura in him
One of the best guide, no bs, straight to the point 🙌
Very educational and excellent presented - kudos!
Great content man!
Super useful video, thank you!
Thank you so much for your content ❤
Pretty insane how easily you explain something that other Challenger players fail to expound upon simply because they get lost in minute details about lane matchups or very subjective things that do are not consistently recurring throughout multiple games. Great vid m8
insane video mate
Great video as always
well i can say this video is really efficient! i've been doing everything said in the video for 2 years and max peaked 400 LP Master (from EUW) so if i was on OCE i would have hitted chall 100%
and also i did that by playing 80% of the time Yasuo, so yeah i'm really grateful to have found this video from a talented player who is from the similar analysis quality of Coach Curtis.
As an dia 4 mid , i have learnt a lot watching your guides. Thx ❤
Awesome video dude. Feels like content I should be paying for no joke.
Well done on consistent updates recently mr future rank one
thank you for the great content.
The shok island in lol youtube is really helpfull, thank you!
I just started playing ranked league again, I was getting kind of bored of midlane and was looking to try another role, but then I remembered that Shok only does mid content, and honestly that was enough to make me keep playing midlane
BASED
this is by far the most useful video i ever seen in my life for a mid laner
best guide out there !!
Your road to rank helped me reached Gold 1 after being stuck silver for years appreciate you man
Congrats big dog
@@ShokLeague Your channel is underrated best CZcams out here for your work please don't change haha
This is actually the best all around video at lol ever made. Thank you
And then reality stroke. First game surrender vote goes through with aphelios, veigar, jax team and next one afk jungler leading to surrender voting again. Love this game!
Soloq is like that unfortunately :/
yeah babyy new shok video
THIS VIDEO IS INCREDIBLE! This is exactly what I needed to understand how to review my games and the key points to be looking for, thank you for this incredible upload as always Shok!
I'd love more insights on how to teamfight. I am a jungler myself but these fundamental videos help a lot. I find midlaners/adcs are pretty self-explanatory. Most champs play front to back and pretty much hit the first target. Some exceptions of course. Kaisa/ Nilah on Ad. Or a Fizz/Akali in mid and so on. But can you give tips for champs that need to create space but need to do it with their body more than their spell.
Hmm normally it's about knowing which targets need to be CCed and if you need to dive or just play to peel. Also trying to find angles where you can CC multiple targets rather than just one is pretty crucial. For some champs it's more about before the fight starts rather than the fight itself (e.g. alistar, find good flank and get one big engage then you're kinda useless)
Thx a lot Shok, in the future you will be Rank 1, Stay strong King 🤙
love the videos, i'm curious have you ever played on any of other servers?
Ye I've played on EU/KR/NA and OCE of course
@@ShokLeague would you say getting chall is easier or harder on certain servers compared to others or is it more or less the same across all the regions?
What a Banger of a Mid Guide, I've implemented everything you've said and ive seen pretty good results. Dont get me wrong it's not a cheat code, you still have to implement his advice properly but once I got the hang of it I started seeing the laning phase and mid game differently.
That feels so good to hear cheers my g
Hey, amazing video as always!
Do you think corrupting pot can still be relevant in some matchups after the doran's ring buffs, or should you go doran every game and maybe go biscuit if you still want to have sustain? What are the current best options?
Pretty sure it's not worth anymore, you can get sustain from taste of blood or second wind if you need it that badly
Giga chad shok back at it again
thank you!!!
this video really helps to play better specialy because its so TLDR. if it was coach currtis it would take at least 3 hours on briefing video😂. amazing as always. keep it up
You make the best leauge videos thanks a lot! I got a lot better at the game because of you!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤❤❤❤
That's my boy
Even though a lot of videos like this might be aimed at lower elo players. I'm mid-high master on EUW and I really liked this video. Thank you
Glad it's still helpful :D
thank you shok, I'll watch and rewatch this until it sticks with me
Great video as always! Is there a chance you are streaming any time soon again?
My internet has been fked for a month so I haven't been able to stream, still trying to get it fixed but doesn't seem promising
I wish there was a video like this but for jungle
ur a content machine lately.
Thank you :D
Nice video brother
Cheers big dog
Nice video, I would love to see more Twisted fate game from you.
I'm not that good at TF but I'll see if I can get a game in
Hey man! Pretty good job doing this video, i have some questions, hm, i'm a top laner, i watch your content pretty often, and it helps me a lot. In the beginning of this guide, you mention about champions to play and pre-game right? I wanna know, how many champs do you reccomend for a player that is low elo, and wanna learn more about the game? Like, 1 blind pick, and 2 counter picks? something like that?
Yeah keep the champ pool pretty small, 2-4 champs with at least one blind pick. 1 blind and 2 counters is fine
Amazing video.
do you think you could make a video on champion identities? such as when to pick each champion, or what a champion wants in a game or how they want to play the game
Kinda already talked about it in my teamfight guides/champ guides so I don't really want to do another one
I feel like this just might be a rapidly growing channel
I really wish someone like you, Coach Curtis or Nathan Mott for the ADC role. I have all this info, and of course a lot of it useful, but man I wish I had someone for ADC specifically.
Arrowlol is probs the closest thing to what you're looking for
aleksis007 got challenger with aphelios only tho has some videos on how to play lane and win from behind or ahead, chinese adc have a lot of info there too or watch some ex pro players like jakespectra xd
Would be awesome from u to make a eu or kr trip to show everyone how good you are
Good stuff nice
This video opened my third eye
I wish there is such video for junglers
I'd love to see more Cassiopeia gameplay because I feel like even though she isn't a great blind pick in theory, if i get good enough on her she can win almost every game.
Hey, I've developed a passion and a well rounded gameplay for late game hypercarry scaling champs (like aurelion, azir, and kayle if autofill'd top or if counterpicking mid), and i feel like my champion pool is heavily lacking a decent early game blind or counterpick, besides i find it quite difficult do play those champs with lane bullying runes. Sometimes my I feel so out of control of the early/mid game it just feels really bad playing. Do you have any recommendations regarding how to develop good early game habits or early game leads, besides by just trying out good early champs (and applying concepts you've mentioned in this and many other of your videos)? And would you have any recommendations for picks to try out based on this champion pool? I know its kind of too much for one comment but just wanted to give it a try to see if I could get any help. Your vids have helped me and the community a lot, keep it up king.
You can definitely get leads in lane on some of the hyperscaling champs (Azir, Viktor for example) they're just not very good at early skirmishing but 1v1s they're great. I'm not sure what tips I'd give you other than to watch my laning/wave control guides, maybe watch my azir games to see how I play the lane?
@@ShokLeague Thanks for the tips!! I'll be looking out for those soon then. I've watched them but its been a long time since then, and I was much worse than now, so probably now it may have a different impact to me. The vods are also something I didn't consider, thanks, fr! Keep up with the best mid lane content on the platform king!
Hey Shok I have been playing orianna for a bit now, but was wondering when I should go arcangel since I have been dropping it and just rush shadowflame second item mostly
You can go archangel against tankier teams (where shadowflame finds less value) or if you just want to scale better
bro is knowledge
your commentary is unmatched
hell yeah
Shok, can u please do a video about how wave control may be affected by jungle matchups?
I can't remember if I talked about it in my wave control video/jungle tracking video but those might help
Hey @shok what is your assessment on orianna's champion identity? I'm trying to pick her but I feel that I can't snowball very hard on her. But I do on syndra.
Essentially just front to back control mage, in lane phase you can really hard bully though you should almost always be coming out of the early game with a CS lead + plates or a solokill
Hey shok, I was just wondering about your advice on whether to push or not during the first 3 waves in your pre first base section. You said if you’re in a winning matchup, generally you should push, and if in a losing matchup, you should let the enemy push. those statements seem a bit contradictory to me, since if each player follows this advice, won’t they both be getting what they want? Is it ever worth it to let the wave push towards you in a winning matchup, for example, to get more potential poke and zoning? ik this is a generally guide but I would really appreciate some tips, thanks
Well if you're in a losing matchup you want to try hold that wave outside the tower and not let them crash, and if you're in the winning matchup you want to make sure you get the crash off. You could pull the wave immediately in a hard winning matchup, but otherwise you'd just be giving them level and creep advantage for free so you have to win hard enough that you can beat them despite that
So runes you're prioritizing making the most out of early laning phase. How do uou decide whether to focus on something like sustain runes vs something like extra punishment? (Like idk, scorch vs second wind in secondaries)
Hmm it really depends on your champ, most melees will prefer sustain runes and most ranged champs will prefer more punishment runes. Again just look up the matchup and copy someone if you're not sure
Any tips for top laners ? I mostly play Wukong and Garen ( ik wu-who ?) and have trundle as a counter pick for really tanky teams or match ups. I find that I can go win or go even in lane how can i expand my lead from top lane ?
I would check out coach chippys for top lane content
i get a huge part of my gold mid late game, usaully farm camps sidelane alot and try get kills but also dies alot during those sidelanes, is it worth it doing it like that or should i allways play it safe if I have the advantage 5v5 ?
Try play as aggro as possible without dying is my rule normally
LOV U SHOK
I would love a jayce mid guide
what are your thoughts on limitation due to rank? what i mean is, yi is perfect pick in silver, but you won´t have the same success in dia+
i feel like in lower elo you have to "force" more?
thanks for your vids
Definitely true that in some elos certain champs are stronger but at the end of the day the gameplay itself matters a lot more
the hardest part about climbing is getting to a normal game. i swear everything other game is a troll in champ select
I noticed when I am at dragon/Baron when it spawns or even 5s left it offen too late and the Team that is early is in a better position. Which time should I be there without wasting time with waiting? 15-20sec before the objective?
30 sec before is good to aim for
can you do some tips for adc aswell please-? The video informed me a lot but I don't think i'll switch over 2 mid
hmm I'd recommend checking out arrowlol!
@@ShokLeague thanks!
I have always struggled with the champ pool aspect. Simply put, I acknowledge that mastering a smaller pool is better but for enjoyment/matchups sake it is hard for me to completely cut out certain champs. Don't get me wrong, I don't randomly pull out champs for the first time, I do have a "pool," it just happens to be quite large. I feel like I have decent reason to pick almost all of them depending on situation, but I can't help but think I could be so much better if I just mastered 3-4 instead. It is hard for me to find that balance.
I can't really decide if I should truly force myself to narrow my pool or just embrace playing them all. It is hard to "feel" the benefit of spamming 2-3 champs, which is why it is hard to commit to that.
Do you think that matchup is important enough that I can reasonably rotate through like, 10 champs? Or should I try to think harder about what champs I should truly main and stick to 3-5ish max?
10 champs is a lot, I'd really try get it down to 5 or so at the most unless you have like 100 games on each of your 10 champs
@@ShokLeague Would you narrow down a pool by keeping my pool a similar playstyle, or do you encourage being broad?
For context, I consider myself an artillery mage specialist. I really enjoy all of them, but I am also aware that they are similar enough that it is potentially not worth playing multiple of them if there is one that is considered better.
But I also have champs to stay broad and learn other playstyles, like having an assassin to learn roaming/skirmishing/flanking which is obviously stuff I would almost never do on my artillery mages.
Would you drop the assassins/conflicting playstyles and master the artillery playstyle?
Or should I drop some artillery mages because they are too samey and have a more versatile champ pool?
Thank you for being so involved with comments by the way, I really appreciate the replies. This is something I have struggled with for a while so it is nice for a second opinion/insight.
I would say similar playstyle is generally better for learning, then if you get higher rank you can branch out eventually. So yeah I'd probably just commit to the artillery playstyle
does most of this translate to botlane too? weaker lane letting push into you vs stronger lane slowpush into them etc?
A lot of it does yea but bot lane is also impacted by stuff like who leashes and who doesn't, and also all ins are much stronger in bot lane especially if you're playing something like kaisa naut vs double ranged so some of the matchups play out kinda differently. Overall tho the fundamentals are the same
48 wins chall 900 pdl, man this is the dream of every player
What are your thoughts on one tricking? Do you think there is a limit to how high you can climb with a one champion pool in the mid lane?
From what I have learned from his videos:
one tricking has two sides, it’s good to be good at one champion and master it, but the drawback is going into a match up or a team comp where you get no value. Example: an immobile mage vs 3 gank or engage champions: Say victor vs fizz/jarvian jg/rak sup. You might need to sit under tower and power farm, which is good but then your bot lane is 100% gonna get that 2vs3-4 people; if your laner roams and you need to stick to tower to not feed.
In those cases, it would be optimal to watch his best blind pick guides and to learn match ups on champion selection like he expressed on this video. At the start of this guide he explains how his expertise on knowing his match up and the best pick vs the enemy composition has favor him into having a high win rate.
You can’t win them all, but you can def make it easier on yourself by selecting the appropriate champion. Keeping in mind it will only be appropriate if know how to use another champion.
If you only one trick, stick to them in ranked until you have practiced and watched guides on another champion that you would like to try, and preferable a champion with a diff play style, learning two champions with the same play style won’t give you more options to counter.
So explore options, but ultimately pick 2-3 champions you enjoy, when you enjoy the champion, you have fun, and having fun means less tilt, and it results on more wins.
@ciclonable basically just said everything I would've
@@ShokLeague Thank you for the knowledge Senpai =D
Hey Shok, what do you think about hail of blades on Azir?
I prefer LT but hail of blades is better for lane/early game (+ you get taste of blood)
@@ShokLeague 👍
Hey Shok, hope you are still answering questions. Any educational youtubers you recommend that are toplane mains?
Coach chippys is the goat
i think he is Alois for midlane :D
what if im trying to play a 1 trick ezreal all the way does that work?
Yeah you can 1 trick anything to chall
In 8:08 why did you buy tier 2 boots instead of Lost chapter? (Just asking to improve)
In skillshot heavy matchups I value movespeed really highly
@@ShokLeague ohh I understand now, thank you so much for your reply
u are cracked u carried me in solo q twice
Wish i had this for top lane, I'd ask how'd you tackle someone thats just split pushing the whole game and your team is still losing 4v5's
Check out coach chippys! he has really good content
this dude literally a fucking genius
The most difficult thing about this saga of becoming a better player and moving up is that after watching the videos and trying to apply it in practice... in the first game you already have a top 0/10 and a botlane 0/15 in 9 minutes of game, the desire to kill oneself only increases given the desire to improve and learn about the game :D
Smodge...
What are your thoughts on Akali blind being blind-pickable?
She's blind pickable but not a great blind, just average
My champion pool currently is Pantheon, Kalista, Ryze. I know, it looks wacky, but is it possible to focus on them to climb in the mid lane? SHould I incorporate another champion?
Why Kalista? Well, it is my biggest champion mastery, almost 1kk, and I am sick of the botlane and would like to incorporate her in the mid lane.
I think having a more blindable champ would be good but all your champs are solid if you can get away with them
Hey Shok genuine question, ive played for years and just recently hit diamond with a 68% we but my LP gains suddenly dropped to +12 and -26 without loss streaks. Lots of people talk about getting new accounts when your LP gains get ruined but ive never had this problem in a decade. Are there real benefits to doing ranked on a fresh account? I figured after a dozen good games my mmr would fix but despite winning it still is rough.
Honestly I'm not too sure, I've never really had LP gain issues, you could just try on a new account and see if it helps
@@ShokLeague Thanks for the response! Just wasn't sure your thoughts as I trust your info a lot more than random reddit posts haha. Ill just stay on the climb for challenger on my main, thanks for all the amazing educational content as always!
i know that this is some good educational content, but can this help me play in silver/gold ? thank you for the amazing videos
Definitely yeah
