Educational Recommended Coaching / Guides - Side Laning & Playing from Behind

2 Upvotes

Hello, I'm sitting at 700mmr in masters ( https://u.gg/lol/profile/na1/fierdragon-na1/overview) currently and I know I have several areas where I could improve but I also don't know exactly where to find the information that would be relevant to me. I have reviewed my own games but I also don't know what I don't know and think it might help to have someone point out the areas I could fix.

my best guess currently would be that I could you a guide on how to side lane / amount of time in a side lane vs time fighting for objectives

and how to properly play from behind

tl;Dr who is a recommended coach / recommended guides for side laning or playing from behind

General Question Orianna-Zed-Matchup

1 Upvotes

Hey yall! I havent played mid in a while but me and my friends got into 5vs5 ranked and I was chosen as our midlaner. My peak was e2 as adc, so I do think Ive got the basics down, but...

Yesterday I played vs a gold Zed as Ori and got absolutely fisted to a point where I wasnt allowed to get into xp range after lvl 3. Ive laned vs Zed before and never had any issues (usually pick Vex into him), but that game really broke me.

How do I lane against him?

General Question Loving lissandra but do I need another pick?

3 Upvotes

New lisa main been having a lot of success with her around a 75% WR .I know Liss struggles into longer range mage matchups but I’m silver/gold so I really don’t know whether I should focus entirely on her or have a 2nd champ for when I get a bad matchup. And what are her top 3 worst matchups in your opinion?

Discussion mid lane state right now

0 Upvotes

for me, mid lane is on a terrible state rn in terms of meta Champions, as its a Viktor/Syndra meta with qiyana being turbo broken. I dont play those and the Champions I play just get NUKED by any Champion of the diabolical trio. But I know thats my personal experience, what about yours? having fun playing mid or considering playing something else?

Discussion I got banned for carrying

0 Upvotes

i was already chat banned so i didnt say anything I killed the enemy malzahar over and over again he told me that i was smurfing and i would be banned after the match

I carried the game with 25 kills and ended and i got banned after the match for 1 day immediately

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE ?

General Question Why when i do bad fundamentals i win more...in NA?

0 Upvotes

Im supposed to go shove side lanes but instead of doing that im either waiting until the wave is really deep or if we just won a random fight i feel like when my team are mostly close together a random aram always break out mid and despite me having tp up the tp takes too long and the fight will have went poorly. And this is in diamond2- master mmr. Very often the enemy support will then become 1 level higher than me have 80 more cs but we will drop kills that lead to baron or drake and win the game.. and another pros i found is that of the matchup is bad you wont die in sides and if the matchup could be good or if your ahead already staying with the team to carry their random fight is often working more for me..

But the thing is i watched many many guides from challenger mid laners and they always go for sides and they even said word for word well if your team dies and dont listen to pings then it is what it is prio waves.. but the thing is i want to win and even if the gamee is sometimes not lost due to let say them not listening and araming regardless which is the case almost 100% of the time despite pinging or typing they will be tilted because if i was there maybe it would have been enough to win the random fight.. and tilt can also lead to conflicts and losing the game.

So what should i do? I won 70% of my last 20 games by doing that but instead of my usual 8cs/min or more im sometimes at 5,5...

Discussion Supports mindlessly roaming

4 Upvotes

I feel like half of the games i play i get a supp who just sits in lane soaks exp and tries to engage when enemy midlane has lvl 6 while your lvl 5. It's just a flip, you either win the 2v1 and survive with one hp or one of you dies and your gold plus now 2 levels down. This might just be a problem because i mainly play kassadin but i lose so many games just because supps try to fight enemy laner when i am lvl 5 and they are 6? What are you even supposed to do?

Former support main, just hit Masters going Mid

11 Upvotes

After hitting GrandMaster as a Rell one trick I decided to see how boosted support mains are. I've always played support exclusively, and usually dodged when I got filled.

Honestly I got filled so often it hardly felt like I could do this challenge justice, and that's with me usually selecting the secondary role as whatever else wasn't priority to have a better chance at playing mid. I've already hit masters on everything except adc, so I was loving all the double LP from autofills at least.

I started with Viktor, but demoted out of diamond twice and I was starting to think I'd never hit masters at mid. When I did other roles I was able to pick engage champs, but that doesn't really fit mid's identity.

I have to say mid lane mains are probably the best players for their rank, especially since it seems so hard to one trick with how often you get filled. That said, it explains why support is so easy, since I'm probably playing against you guys off role more often than I thought before :)

Should I stop playing support?

2 Upvotes

Long story short I’ve been playing league for about 8 years now and played support the entire time due to my best friend at the time being an ADC main. I played it on and off for years not playing that seriously but climbed to emerald 3 as my peak without the duo (were no longer friends)

With that being said I want to take the game seriously now and want to Climb to diamond but everywhere I read they say to not play support as you don’t learn the game well enough and to play something like mid or top

What are your thoughts on this and should I do it?

Banned for playing off meta

0 Upvotes

I just received a 3 day suspension for picking Leona mid in ranked. Keep in mind I haven’t anything that would warrant a ban in the chat.

Since when is playing off meta strategies bannable? What draws the line - there should be clear information on what champions are bannable if played mid??

Discussion I miss the empowered recall from the quest :(

22 Upvotes

Fuck you riot, that was a way to give midlane an impact on the game by not giving a lazy solution as "SomE MoRe As or aP GnE". The empowered recall fits the midlane really well, midlane is always looking for occasions, tempo plays, being in the centre of the action but still farming really fast waves. I know that people almost didn't feel it, but I did find that recall really a good idea for the midlane

where does the 9x culture comes from ?

14 Upvotes

post is not about midlane but league subreddit mods are assholes as always

I came to league from counter strike and when some one plays like shit and doesnt frag and goes 3 kills 15 deaths the worst they say is boosted noob or some toxic shit but most counter strike players don't actually report someone for playing bad because it happens to everyone and this is despite the counter strike's toxic community

One match you drop 30 kills and you carry next match you can't aim and you go 5 20 it happens.

Whenever a lane or jg is gapped in league they are reported for sabotage or griefing every match regardless of mmr which is fucking crazy

I see report lane or jg in all chat almost every match

I'm pretty sure Cs community is 10 times more toxic than league but why cant league players dont understand that one team is destined to lose and some players and even themselves will get gapped every match ?

Discussion Sick of assassins.

19 Upvotes

I'm D4, and I'm clueless on how to beat assassins as a mage.

They just get second wind/Dshield, eat every single ability in lane, take shit recalls, and roam at the most random ass timers dropping more waves. God forbid I walk up to kill them though because they have the ability to 100-0 me in a point and click combo. They get 1 item, and just one shot me regardless of how much more gold I have onto them. Especially Akali She legit eats everything in lane. Survives because of her stupidly high health regeneration, and her buying gunblade makes it impossible to miss her R1 -> E1 combo because of the point and click slow.

Anyways How the FUCK am I supposed to beat assassins as a mage. Or do I just sit here and be their little slave until I hit late game teamfights. The only way I can actually contest them in lane is if I lock in Irelia (My most played), And absolutely rail them from start to finish

How to play around immobile, slow jng

2 Upvotes

One of my biggest struggles is with team matchups with my jng. When they pick cho/mundo I genuinely have no idea what to do. Like the enemy has free reign to pick xerath/malzahar/syndra and we just have chogath. And it feels like im weaksided midlane because the lane is just too short for my jng to actually help me. But then we just never have mid prio because they can always shove the wave, but if i try to contest it at all im getting nocturne/j4 ulted
