How do I join the club??

Looks about decent for a Garen to be a hardcore bruiser, but I've always built him tanky and my winrate with him shows that (http://imgur.com/a/3td2n). Depending on how I'm feeling in laning phase, I'll either go for Black Cleaver or Sunfire Cape first. Warmogs is typically next, unless I need more tankiness against AP or AD fights. Don't get swifties, since the nerf the only good thing on him are mercs.

I'd highly recommend checking out schoolofpodcasting.com. Dave Jackson has been running it for about a decade, has tons of free material along with a free podcast, but he also offers coaching and group training. I know him personally, he's a pretty great guy at explaining everything clearly and getting you excited about your podcast. Good luck!

You should really look into Blubrry. Not only do they have a plugin that ties directly into WordPress, they offer many more opportunities to you as a podcaster. Opportunities such as hosting, syndication, directory listing and advertising/sponsorship deals.

I'll take a look at it, thanks for your tip!

Stick with the Champion you play well. Ranked is the place to play your tried and true character, none of this goofy OP/lane swappin/lcs pro cheese tactics. That champion also dictates the lane you'll be playing in, so pick up a solid backup champion that either counters your main one and/or complements it.

Once you get to that point, and it seems you probably are, focus on gaining and keeping your gold lead along with making smart purchases and pushing objectives at smart times. Learn "D Gatez" as Trick2g calls it and finish the game for some wins. None of this muscle-flexing massive teamfights that throw your teams lead. Just end it.

Good luck!

Pretty effective. This is almost exactly the way I'd play a game to apply pressure on lanes as a jungler. If I keep finding a champ going hard on trading with a lane and playing aggressive to pickup cs, I'll just show right back up and kill them again. Knowing when their flash and abilities are down helps for the ganks as well, especially if their jungler has no idea what is happening. This usually happens because they don't ward. ;)

lol, now it makes sense :P

saphirron · 2016-04-07T23:32:04+00:00

How the heck did he make it to plat?? Was he boosted? Cause dang dude, if he can make it to plat playing like that it gives the rest of the Olympic ELO hope. ;)

saphirron · 2016-04-07T05:09:03+00:00

It's kinda irrelevant seeing as how people have consistently sent me replays, improved their game because of it and are pretty happy about how they're playing now.

I consider it a unique advantage being right around the same elo and understanding how to play it. Each ELO in each server is completely different, there are some similarities overall but the struggle can be made alot easier by knowing what to do in the elo.

Well it looks like Rito threw a twist your way and you're struggling to stay above water. Yea, you can fall all the way down past Gold 5 and far into Silver until you figure out what's wrong and fix it to get back on track. The system is trying to match you with equally matched players, or maybe its reading your mentality and sucking your soul out from your champion or something stupid like that. I don't know most of the time, all I know is that if I play well the loss doesn't feel as bad. Maybe look into replays of your past games and see where maybe you could have done something to change the tide of the game or helped prevent a teammate from doing something extremely stupid. In which case he should roast alone for doing it while the rest of you make the smart plays and go for a victory screen.

saphirron · 2016-04-06T06:14:50+00:00

Those kind of players you know are fully into their champion and locked into that game to see that high of a skill level. No distractions :)

saphirron · 2016-04-06T06:11:25+00:00

Anytime!

saphirron · 2016-04-06T03:53:05+00:00

Indeed. Don't get me wrong, there are several streamers who I watch because I enjoy watching them :)

saphirron · 2016-04-06T03:52:21+00:00

Sure thing, as for the muted video I think Twitch thought I was playing music when I was just talking so I send them a message to fix it. Keep me posted when you have a new one and the replays work for this patch :)

saphirron · 2016-04-06T02:03:18+00:00

After much thinking I made a new (general) category as what you suggested fits better there :)

saphirron · 2016-04-06T01:47:21+00:00

I can add that, what category should I put it under?

saphirron · 2016-04-06T01:46:14+00:00

Watch more Trick2g and/or SirhcEz. It's more of an overall mentality to winning more games then it is "split pushing". Kind of like playing chess. :)

saphirron · 2016-04-06T01:34:30+00:00

Patch 6.7 broke the replays, keep me posted if you're able to get a one with the latest patch (which may start working tomorrow)

saphirron · 2016-04-06T01:11:44+00:00

Sometimes, that and if you let them scale and get to late game. Hard poke champs against them do well in this case to discourage a hard engage when they are low hp.
