      LCS, aka "Literally Cannot Sidelane", is Riot's premier Wildcard region held in the saltiest continent and denoted as such, NA. It is ridiculed for its poor international performance and macro, favouring the "NARAM" style.

    Being at player in and out of the top 10% aram mmr, I'm surprised they didn't focus on the importance of dying/suiciding. It's part of the game mode and best way to win the next team fight. I can't tell you how many times I watch teammates at 5% hp play so far back they don't help with anything cuz they are afraid to die. After a team fight just finishes, push lane/objectives and find a way to suicide. Your team needs you at 100% hp, not at 25% sitting on 2k gold having to play safe which actually hurts your team. Last point, try not to have your entire team be AD or AP. Going AP Kog'ma or AD Bard are still great options.
    I'm glad aram is getting more recognition. It helps with understanding comps, being flexible with items and roles, how to engage and navigate a chaotic team fight, and how to dodge skill shots as well.

    • @WanderTheNomad

      The most satisfying way is to get executed under enemy turret at low health WHILE THEY'RE UNDERNEATH IT. Though the most smart way is probably to either get executed by minions or die to turret after winning a teamfight.

      @shaso3664 Před 3 lety +5

      There is actually more to that. Usually in 5 Stacks it highly depends on the teamcomp and the situation whether one player just sui's in and who stays back to clear waves. Sometimes it is even better to stay alive with low hp (e.g. when you have long range wave clear and you lost a fight in the middle of the map) and sometimes you can probably just full hp tactical int for tower hp when you pushed tier 2 or even nexus turrets. I think that would just be too much for the video or they simply forgot to mention it

Never added plates when SR did. Of course, they didn't start doing champ specific changes when they did for ARAM. They never gave a shit about the mode, they didn't give a shit when it was dying, they didn't want it to stay alive or give it a chance. There are no draft alternatives to SR.

It mostly ends up happening when both teams are either scalers or early gamers and refuse to fight each other, so they both attempt to freeze each other to force a fight out so they can take advantage of health kits. Also please feed your puros, if I have to ping one more person holding onto 2 snacks all game ill go insane.

You made high elo aram sound a lot more tryhard and serious than it really is. I think you were talking more about 5 man competitive aram than solo queue which could've been more clear. I only play solo and half of the stuff that you talk about, rarely anyone does. I have never seen a freeze ever. People don't build lee sin as support.

      I am currently sitting at 2690 mmr, top 2%
      Do you have any tips on how to improve and climb?

      @@tractie_ I would say learn more champs and don't be greedy about the champs you play. Like you should try to pick for your comp instead of just playing champs you want to play. I also use my extra reroll if the team doesn't look great, even if I already have a champ I want. Then just make sure to play a lot. Pretty general tips, but that's what I've got. :D

    I swear to god, people in aram are allergic to hitting towers. They don't do it unless you spam ping the tower...
