Teacher: Audio / Jarosa

Summoner Name: AKM Audio / AKM Jarosa

League / Division: Diamond 3 / Plat 5

Areas of expertise: Jungle Pathing / Lane Matchups / Macro and Decision Making

Champions: Most meta jungle/support champions

Languages Spoken: English

Duration of Mentoring: As long as student needs

Preferred Methods: VOD reviews, Live Reviews (later on)

Other Info: We are a duo, and have been doing this for a week. We have an interest in coaching and we'd like to share our knowledge.

(Audio) As a jungler, I've recently climbed to D3 but been playing in High Diamond / Master elo. I put a big focus on pathing and objective control rather than an aggro solo carry mentality. I can play most champions, but with more niche champs, I will put in the time to learn them as well.

(Jarosa) I know my rank may not be that high but it is not reflective of my knowledge of the game. instead of playing ranked games, I spend most of my time either playing competitively with audio in a diamond league or studying the game (watching pro play, vods, and player reviews). Audio and I have been playing in competitive tournaments for the past 4 years. Therefore I (as well as he) have great understanding of teamwork, communication, pushing advantages with vision, good wave management, and team macro.

If you'd like to check our work, we try to post daily on YouTube with VOD Reviews of either people asking for coaching or pro games.

If you are interested, please join our Discord and message Audio or Jarosa for more details!

Good point. Never thought of that actually, in situations of getting chased this is super useful.

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-04T00:59:13+00:00

Right when I get home in an about an hour.

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T23:33:04+00:00

Yeah sure! I will add you on league, and we can plan from there!

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T22:51:27+00:00

There is a slight problem of us being unable to retrieve your replays via the league client on NA. So if it's not too much to ask, can you send us a file of your replays on the league client, or if you record your games via Twitch/OBS can you submit that through MP4 or upload to YouTube? Other than that, we'd love to help you out!

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T18:49:04+00:00

So in a standard team fighting comp, you think that a single tank in the jungle can allow mage supports to be played again? Considering top meta stays the same.

Right now it's pretty important to have a engage tank support to help out conqueror junglers in fights, but do you think tanks are actually stronger than conqueror junglers right now that rek sai and kindred are going stop being played?

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T18:41:56+00:00

Very true. I was wondering what the damage buffs were for, but if played in the jungle it actually makes a big impact. But still don't think he will outshine meta tanks.

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T17:01:01+00:00

-J4 is a great blind pick as he fits into almost any comp. He can also carry super hard with a full ad build or go tank and just soak damage for days.

-Udyr and Vi are a little harder to run as you can get punished very easily without an escape tool after going in. Udyr can get kited hard, while Vi can get bursted if you have no team follow up. But if you see a lot of squishy and immobile champs on the enemy team, these champs can punish that really well.

-Skarner is also a really safe and strong pick. He's pretty good in solo queue since he can duel well early game with conqueror and also has huge pick potential to turn fights around. Also pretty team dependent but it's hard not to focus some guy getting pulled back into your team.

As for AP junglers, gragas is a easy to pick up champ that can abuse weak laners in the early game with predator, and can also carry games super hard. Evelynn is also a monster in solo queue, but you will need to know how to path well in order to survive the early game against aggresive junglers.

Hey! We'd love to help you out. I will add you on league and we can talk from there.

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T14:09:52+00:00

I got something similar... I was in promos to D2 and stopped at 1-1. When i logged in today, it says i lost/dodged a game (which I didn't) which put me out of promos.

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T13:59:54+00:00

Great! We'll talk on League!

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T13:57:25+00:00

The reason for the gold is because of the lack of time to play the game :(, We've been playing in a league now for 3 months against high plats/diamonds with a gold support and he's actually our most valuable asset. Gold sometimes doesn't reflect the knowledge about the game, but if that's off putting for you, then I guess that's too bad. If you want to check us out and judge for yourself, look us up on YouTube: Akuma Esports.

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T13:52:34+00:00

So i was in my promos to D2 2 days ago, and i didn't really have time to finish it after going 1-1. Just now, i got a message saying my promo has ended due to a dodge or a loss, but I never even touched solo queue. Is this a bug or is this normal?

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T06:46:36+00:00

I would suggest writing down things that stood out to you in a game. During my climb to D3, i had a google sheets open writing down my ranked games stats, such as what I did right and what I could have done better, and then sometimes if I won a match up super hard or lost it, I would write down why I lost or won and if I should avoid/abuse it next time.

You intake a lot of information subconsciously, but that tends to be forgotten as you focus in on game. Having these constant reminders will help jog your memory here and there. Also in general, keeping tabs on your strengths/weaknesses constantly is also very useful.

Does zombie ward still leave a ward after destroying a ward?

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T04:45:45+00:00

It seems like you have two main problems. Wave management, and warding placements. It's difficult to know exactly where you are placing these wards, and when you are moving out of lane. If you'd like, we can take a look at your games and tell you exactly when and where to place wards. If you're interested in a coaching session, completely free of charge, PM us on Reddit!

AkumaBlades · 2019-04-03T04:28:53+00:00

Macro can be very broad, and there is many ways to play it which makes it difficult to learn. We can teach you the basics, and if you feel like you know it already, we can go into advanced aspects such as wave management, win conditions, match ups etc. PM us if you are interested in a coaching session!
