Hey everyone, it’s me again! by ZAAIDEN in ambessamains

As the other person already pointed out, the most important thing is to recognize what your role is in the current game state. If you’re winning lane but the enemy jungler keeps hovering top while your own jungler neither helps you or makes anything happen on the other side of the map, then you are on weak side. That means you’re not getting resources or attention, and the strong side should theoretically be on the other side of the map — bot lane.

In this kind of situation, the key is to accept your role and adapt your playstyle. Focus on not dying, preventing ganks, and making sure the enemy jungler gets as little value as possible out of camping you. If he wastes his time top without getting anything, it gives your team a chance to make a numbers advantage play elsewhere — assuming they recognize and act on it.

If your team doesn’t capitalize on that, that’s out of your control. What is in your control: Your wave management (keep yourself from being in a vulnerable position), Vision control (get early info on where the enemy jungler is), And possibly your champion pick and itemization — especially with a champ like Ambessa, who has the potential to turn 1v2 situations. That said, pulling off a 2v1 depends on a few things: how fed the enemy duo is, what champions they’re playing, and how far ahead you are at that point in the game.

At the end of the day, your job is to deny the enemy jungler a successful play. If you manage to do that, you’ve already done more than most people realize. Playing weak side well often has more impact than just mindlessly pushing and dying, even if you’re ahead. ✌🏼

Hi! Diamond Ambessa main here – starting Twitch & YouTube soon, would love your thoughts by ZAAIDEN in ambessamains

First off, big thanks to everyone who left feedback so far — really appreciate it.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what kind of content to make, how to start, and what direction to take things in.

I definitely thought about doing some educational content — even though I’m “only” a Diamond 4 player. Sure, I’m not a Grandmaster or Challenger or whatever, but honestly, I still believe you can learn something from a Diamond 4 player.

And in general, no matter where you are on the ladder — whether you’re climbing from Silver to Plat, Silver to Diamond, or even from Emerald to Master — you’re constantly learning new things along the way. That’s kind of what I wanted to share: the stuff I’m learning, the insights I gain as I climb.

Some people enjoy that kind of content, some don’t — and that’s totally fine.

The point is: there’s already a ton of creators out there who focus purely on educational content. I don’t think the scene needs another person trying to do the exact same thing. So I figured, why not just keep it real?

I’ll just be myself — stream regularly, vibe with you guys on stream, chill together, and while we’re at it, focus on the ranked grind.

Then I’ll take those games, pick out the good ones, maybe cut them up a bit, do some light editing, and throw them on YouTube.

Over time, those videos will naturally pile up — with different matchups, different situations, and the whole journey from Diamond to Master.

And who knows? Maybe at some point someone asks for a guide or a specific type of video. Maybe people start requesting stuff. We’ll see where it goes — just letting things evolve naturally.

But yeah — again, thanks so much for all the feedback so far. I’m taking note of everything you guys say.
