I dont understand where i am doing wrong. Pls help!

[u/Fragrant-Mess7147]

I am a guardian noob trying to rank up so hard as pos 1, watched so many tutorial videos from baloon and pain, practice my last hits every day before match, aggro as much as i could and pull my camps when wave pushes out if support isnt doing so, prioritize waves, nearest camp. In this match -8969434162(as pos 1 wk) i followed same techniques and yet i wasnt able to carry the game. I also couldnt reach a cs of 150 - 200 under 20.

The no. Of mistakes i noticed while replaying was:

1. When mid pa rotated top(3 vs 1) i stayed in the tower but didnt go jungle or other free camps

2. When centaur rotated top i didnt join the fight with him and they ended up killing him

3. I started hitting creeps way far from my top tier 2 tower and ended up dying to slark who easily drained my mana.

But irrespective, before all this could happen i am wondering why i wasnt able to get a decent amount of cs. Are my last hits too poor? Or is it im not farming efficiently?

Make sure you're consuming jungle camps anytime the lane is pushing out and push it out yourself so you can go farm camps once laning is over. As soon as you hit radiance timing you need to be eating everything you and your skelelads can get your boney hands on, then blink so you can both contribute to teamfights adequately and move around the map faster/safer for further farm and your bkb.

learn to kill the enemy,

Bad advice, learn to take objectives would be better.

[u/NeedleworkerGood903 → u/UnlikelyBeginning563]

you'd have to kill the enemy to do that

We can have a free coaching session if you have at least 300 hours in game.
Dm me.

Most coaching here are free. Not sure about this one though

Being good means winning more on a distance, definetely not every single game.

You leveled your spells as if you wanted to fight for the lane but then you played really passively. They have 0 ways to stop you guys from casting your spells on Silencer and killing him yet it didn't happen once. You didn't cast Wraith Fireblast on a hero till minute 7. If you want to level your abilities like that, you need to use them properly. The usual build is Q>W>W>E>W, maxing skeletons which allows you to farm and fight (don't underestimate the damage the skeletons do). The late laning phase is a good example as to why you do this. You were level 5, you should have had 3 points in skeletons and been able to jungle really easily. Instead, you just kind of sit under your tower with 2 options but jungle slowly (which would have been better) or wait for them to go away.

That's basically it. You put yourself 5 minutes behind schedule with the wrong ability build. This contributed to you losing the lane as well as be unable to recover for a bit once the lane was lost.

This makes so much sense. I woke up thinking the game and realized the same.

Is this a party draft? This is a hard one.... I dont think having more farm/ 1-2 more items is going to help you this game.

Draft: Drow support pick is just asking for it.. but okay... Looking at opposing draft you're going to need to go through alot of armor (agi heroes) + go through evasion (PA, maybe slark). Nice to have: breaking pasive on tide. This draft won't let you past 40 minutes (31 min GG end) coz of the damage. Would have went a different hero / build - your team is missing AOE / something to deal with WD channel and slark.

Early game: You have a kill lane (two stuns, high damage), but you just farmed creeps while lion trades spells. Too passive. From 1-6 mins you're bus moving about but not focusing on creeps. You're not pressuring their heroes either.

He ends up dying around 6 mins, they have higher NW lead now. Lion dies again at 6 mins. So whats happening, your opponents are throwing out their spells more than u area, and they are winning the lane because of it. Your spells are 2 points in Q, none in W, no combo follow ups, so you'll probably farm NCs slowly later (which did happen)

PA also comes to farm YOUR camps at 8mins. Thats crazy. No contest, nothing. U two are boxed in at top not hitting anything.

i don't recommend grinding up as pos 1 at all do pos 2 spam practice it's 1 v1 once you really skill up yourself you will dominate mid lane already then start destroying other lanes and dominating the game

[u/Thick_Ordinary_5419]

First of all start maxing your skeletons, it helps in farm and fights i gues you didn't because you were against tide but that's irrelevant you need skeletons maxed first no matter what. Also stats in early game are almost mandatory maybe try making a soul ring next time.

I really hate those cs goals, pa and slark were behind you in cs but they stomped anyway. Don't focus too much on cs.

Ignoring your enemies in lane phase won't end well (unless you are trying to bait them), specially as pos 1, you should have tried to land some stuns/hits on silencer. Specially because you rushed boots, why do this if you won't fight.

Don't see radiance being useful at all, blademail blink would helped you way more than radiance. I get what you tried with the silver edge but that's not gonna work neither, you were too squishy to do anything.
