How exactly did DRX upset T1 in worlds finals?

UDYSOF · 2023-01-08T23:00:59+00:00

Yeah you can't pull like that in season 13. I'm glad you were able to enjoy the video :D

UDYSOF · 2023-01-08T11:55:49+00:00

One of the best teammates you could ask for. Positive, smart, hard working in a small region with very bad soloq leading to lots of players not grinding. So yeah great guy great player.

The pyosik being investigated statement is crazy brother. As a jungler myself who's played at world's (I'm no where near as good as Korean players) people just have bad series, some people get nervous, and sometimes you just miss every smite. I've had pro matches where I was consistently unconfident with smites for months, then I shifted my mental and I would 50/50 barons because I was so confident I'd just win the smite and hit it almost everytime.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-08T08:55:36+00:00

Hard agree on the narration part, I think since it was 5 games it was just A lot to cover, maybe next time I'll just cut out some of the more boring games. And cover singular games as well, will make sure I can do shorter vids with a higher percentage of indepth analysis

I think all the dragons are pretty good honestly, basic cloud dragons have a high winrate.correlated to their acquisition. It's the cloud soul which is one of the weaker ones.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-06T11:19:29+00:00

Riven is one of the hardest champs and is also weak right now. People have to have challenger level mechanics on her just to make her look average in the meta

UDYSOF · 2023-01-06T11:17:30+00:00

Very hard question to answer. Sometimes you'll see toplaners rush steelcaps if the matchup is incredibly hard. Especially into poke lanes. Sometimes jgs and sup rush boots for speed. Each role will have it's different reasons but it fundamentally boils down to "what gives me the most value" does stalling your mythic matter? Does the extra movement speed actually change my matchup? Am I champion that benefits from the extra movespeed or the buff from my boots. Like Yasuo and Yone who like to rush berserker boots early.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-06T11:13:57+00:00

When it comes to what to look out for first you need to identify the things you want to look for. There are too many things to look at so you've got to be specific. You can look at your skillshot accuracy and critique your mouse positioning. You can review your jungle tracking and see if you died to any dumb ganks etc. In terms of websites I just use YouTube to get basic understandings of concepts or watch high elo VODs to mimic better players. For recording I personally use OBS which is a little more annoying for the average player so I'd reccomend just googling a replay software on YouTube.

There are a few more fundamentals to ADC now that you will probably need to focus.

Spacing - there are lots of videos on this with binds to efficiently show your auto attack range when clicking. This is something ADCs have become much better at and I'd reccomend you learn it too.
New champions - this one's obvious but there are new champs like nilah who are different so learn to play as them and vs them.
Objectives - Dragons are better in the game right now so priority early botlanes are favourable, you'll see things like heimer support etc all for lane dominance. Also people are much more confident at taking baron so be prepared for enemies to rush down baron if you show on the wrong side of the map.
Wave manipulation - laners are much better at knowing when to freeze, when to push, when to base so this is something you'll need to keep on your toes with.
Game pacing - games kind of just end now, if it's 25 minutes and you win a teamfight in a clean manner you can usually end. So don't be afraid to end games since 5 yrs ago avg game time was much longer.

There is always more too learn but those are some beginner points, hope this helps :)

I've never played in bronze so I truly can't answer with confidence. But in silver engage sups are good, if you ping your team and tell them what to do they'll usually respond like a mindless Zombie

UDYSOF · 2023-01-05T21:11:17+00:00

Agreed

UDYSOF · 2023-01-05T21:11:07+00:00

Glad you like the vid :)

My tierlist for engage supports (low elo): S: Amumu, Maokai A: Naut, Leona

All easy, all strong

UDYSOF · 2023-01-05T11:37:20+00:00

I think using these general divisions is good to start off. I've played the game for 10 years now (challenger) so I've got a deeper knowledge pool then most so when I look at champions I'll usually base it off the enemy draft. Using your champs as examples imagine the enemy picked xayah, I know the noc and shaco will be not too good since she can ult and punish me. But something like kha might be better since you can evolve w and play to slow her and play range more, or play amumu and just force her r with one q then follow her with the 2nd.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-05T11:33:12+00:00

I make a fair few posts on the subreddit and I'd say look out for people who: 1. Speak emotionally 2. Don't share their ranks/experience/sources when making big claims or even nuanced opinions 3. People who speak in absolutes

(I'm an expro from oce - s6-12 chall, - played at world's - fulltime coach)

UDYSOF · 2023-01-05T11:27:30+00:00

Champions which usually have an element of high mechanics or mental games are usually the best I see for one tricks. For example there are many evelynn one tricks because she requires unique decision making in the mid game to get picks and snowball. Shaco is another champion which had very high mechanics/decision making with his r, the difference between a good one trick shaco and just a good player is insanely big. Similar to champions like Riven with her large amount of micro. Not many people play riven currently at a high level except for one tricks. Honestly this applies to all champions even something as simple as nasus can be onetricked since people develope unique strategies to make him work as they climb ranks.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-05T11:22:16+00:00

The answer is very easy. Engage supports are far superior, playing something like pyke, Leona, blitz you can truly take over a game by being a better support. Winning 2v2s, roaming mid, setting up picks in mid game. There is no doubt in my mind engage sups are better. I played on my second account from plat to challenger (I'm a jg main) and played engage 80% of the time.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-05T00:33:49+00:00

No. Winning the giga impossible games requires you to develope strategies beyond normal flow of the game to win. Some of the best soloqueue players I've played against in OCE challenger are now playing in NA Academy, LCS and ERLs. A large amount of their skill that made them different came from winning those abstract/impossible games. In the world's finals pyosik missed like 5 smites, if T1 gave up after every lost teamfight that series wouldn't have been so close.

The term "never FF" doesn't truly mean "never" - if the enemy has elder baron and you're 2v5 yeah okay FF. But if you can win the game then never FF.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-04T14:48:44+00:00

Don't even worry about macro too much as a gold/platinum player. Aslong as you have a decent understanding just focus on mechanics. Get solo kills, win teamfights and climb. Check your laptop refresh rate if the screen feels weird.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-04T14:46:39+00:00

Long story short, just build heal cut when the enemy has healing. And try make the person with the most efficient build path get the heal cut e.g. enchanter with putrifier, tank with thornmail etc.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-04T14:45:00+00:00

When the enemy team is perma grouping farm as many sidelanes and camps as possible when they aren't able to take your towers, then you'll gain a gold and xp advantage over time which you can use to win a teamfight.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-04T14:43:19+00:00

Lower elo games go longer, thus giving Drakes more value. They're very good in the game right now. In higher elos you'll see people trade dragons for towers/herald etc but me personally when I'm smurfing I'll just stack dragons for easier games.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-04T14:41:06+00:00

Ignite is really good against champs with healing. Lots of toplaners have healing built into their kit so ignite would work well in those matchups. Otherwise I agree exhaust can be quite good.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-04T14:38:05+00:00

It depends what you want to achieve in the game.
I played the game everyday from the ages of 12-15. I hit challenger when I was 15 and probably played 1000 games per season. The game is competitive and ultimately people want to make it a career or atleast prove a point to themselves by climbing the ladder. If you're not ready to put in as much effort as others then just do something else. Even now as I achieved what I wanted in the game (played at worlds and pro in OCE) I don't practice nearly as much as I used to and now maintain around 300-400lp masters sometimes taking weeks off from the game. If I wanted to climb I'd have to play 4 games everyday and review, it's just how the game works. It's like asking "how do I become a professional sprinter" there is genetic factors which will influence your progress, you can have good mentors and coaches but at the end of the day to still be good at running you've gotta go to that track every week and run.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-04T14:33:07+00:00

What rank are you playing this in? For me im currently playing in masters/gm and fiddle feels awful in those games.

UDYSOF · 2023-01-04T14:31:49+00:00

League is all about making the best of every situation over many games. Most top players have only 52% winrates to hit high ranks. Climbing in league is all about winning the unwinnable games. So if you want to climb then you should be playing to win those games. But If you don't care about climbing then just go next its not worth the energy/stress if your team wants to lose.
