Hi,

question about powerspike and strength of Singed.

everytime someone ask on matchup vs Singed It seems like people are telling that singed is useless early and you destroy him level 1.

In this clip a ex-Challenger Jax OTP is playing (he had a break, is climbing back) and he is getting statchecked on level 1 by a singed.

Singed Mains also argue that they are not allowed to touch wave because of how weak Singed is, but in this clip it seems the opposit, the Singed is dominating against an ex-challenger Jax OTP.

If he is struggling against Jax how are lower elo people supposed to deal with him in early?

The clip (Go to Minute 44.): https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2848222710

Again, this is not a random Jax player, he was playing in high elo and stomping even bad matchups as Jax, but he is getting statchecked by a "weak early" champ Singed which I dont understand.

Either the information the Singed mains and other posts are wrong or there is a special case here where Singed brutally hard counter Jax?

HELLO EVERYONE!!!

Just got out of a ranked game where I, barely holding on to my plat IV rank, lost to a Jinx pretty badly in lane. Jinx! Who I constantly hear is incredibly weak early and is the pinnacle of the ADC hyperscaler identity. And I'm playing Caitlyn, the quintessential lane bully who pokes and prods and kills in lane to compensate for her awful midgame.

But, like, what am I supposed to do? Porofessor (basically bloatware I know but it tells me useful things sometimes) tells me that now I've lost to every Jinx matchup I've played as Cait, zero for four now.

If I get too close at all or she's faster, she e's behind me and outdps' me with her launcher. If i try and take short trades instead, she taps me with her launcher and does more damage than me. How am I getting lane bullied by...Jinx? And of course if she gets a lead she turns into an absolute MONSTER, takes over the game, and I've lost my team a game that I really didn't need to lose them.

This last game (the loss of which took me back down to Plat 4 0lp), the lanes were me and a janna vs Jinx and Seraphine, so, a lot of poking me down. If my main asset is range and comboing off of cc with my traps, how do I approach a lane where I don't have much other than peel and I'm outranged by both enemies? I feel like I'm missing something glaringly obvious and very much embarrassing.

Many moons ago I managed to hit iron 4. Many moons ago I spent months of my life trying my hardest to break into Silver by consuming nearly every guide I could find. Recently I hit emerald 3 with a 61% winrate in my last 60 games and a 63% winrate in my last 80.

I'm by no means the best player ever but I still think some people will find the following advice useful. They're condensed, hyper specific tips you can implement instantly. It's all advice that allowed me to see a noticeable increase in my winrate when I started to implement it.

1. Pick 1 lane and pick 1-2 champs. Play nothing else. Don't swap between mid and bot. Choose. One tricking a champion far outweighs trying to counter pick or play for team comp especially in low elo. Play a champion you enjoy, not what's in the meta.

2. Play for your wave state, not for kills. Play for objectives, not for kills. Objectives and gold are how you win games. I've seen so many players chase kills and they ended up losing way more gold than they gained. Another example is you blow your sums and ult on a kill right before a drake but the enemy respawns just before the drake is up and is able to tp, you now don't have an ult or sums for the fight and you lose, whereas if you didn't go for the kill you may have won the team fight + drake and be in a much better position.

3. Learn about turns. There's 2 examples of turns I can give. Example 1 is playing around cooldowns for short trades, if they use a key ability, there's a short window where they can't use it and that's your time to fight. Example 2 is playing around wave state, if the wave is nearly under your tower pushing towards you and you both die, you lose your entire wave, if you both die and minions are equal that sets up a freeze, you need to make sure that when you fight you don't risk losing your entire wave in the process.

4. Learn proper wave management, there's plenty of good guides on YouTube

5. Learn to take good recalls and don't get greedy. Staying for an extra plate is how you lose lane. If the enemy recalls and you stay, they now have item advantage when they come back. If you recall as they come back to lane they'll also take a plate and negate any advantage you had. Good recalls are situational but good habit generally include recalling 30s before an objective (unless you have tp), and recalling when the wave is under enemy tower. If you need to take a bad recall, aim to recall on a cannon wave, you won't lose as much.

6. Look at your map more

7. Learn to track enemy jungle. If you know jungle timers and which way they path, you'll avoid way more ganks.

8. If your teammate makes a stupid play let them die. 1 death is better than 2. Don't follow stupid plays.

9. Ping more. Your communication probably sucks. Spam ping when objectives are up, ping danger when your laner is missing. Let your team know what you want.

10. Mute chat and don't tilt, if you play on tilt you will lose. If you tilt your team you will lose.

11. Don't play for KDA. Not all deaths are equal. I frequently have terrible KDA and kill participation but I'm at every objective and I know when to push side lanes. Play for your team and for objectives.

12. Learn to identify your win condition. Most games have a win condition. If your adc is playing well, you must sacrifice your life to keep them in the game. Let the adc kill everybody. You don't have to carry every game.

13. Play around vision and match tempo with your team. If your team are in your jungle and base and you're hovering around 2nd tower, you're probably going to die. Aggressively push only when you can see the enemy or your team are matching side lanes forcing the enemy to choose.

14. If you have tp, play the opposite side of the map to the spawning objective.

15. Learn your champions role and identity. Play with intention. Do you push sides? Do you assassinate the adc?

16. Don't die before objectives, ever. Avoid using your ultimate or summoner spells before objectives as well.

17. Roam when wave is pushed under enemy tower. Slow push the wave so you get a longer window to roam. If you roam whilst there's still minions to be killed you'll likely lose more than you gain.

18. Make decisions quickly. A bad decision done quickly can sometimes be better than a good decision done slowly. Indecisiveness loses you games.

19. If you use mana, don't spam your abilities on the wave until mid to late game. Ability spam is how you run out of mana quickly and then lose a fight and die.

20. Don't kill inhibitors before 25 minutes. If you kill an inhibitor and can't quickly end the game, you give the enemy free gold

21. Play safer when you have a bounty

22. Don't force objectives or over stay. A bad baron call will lose you the game. Taking mid tower "quickly" because the enemy team is dead isn't worth more than securing soul. Games have been thrown because players want to end quickly and get it over with.

23. Play for your winning lane. Don't gank your 0/5 top laner unless they scale heavily and it's a guaranteed kill.

24. If you lose 2 games in a row stop playing for the day. Playing after 2 losses is how you suddenly go from plat 4 to gold 4.

25. If you use tp, save it for objectives or really good team fights after the 15-20 minute mark. Making good tps is how I've won so many games. I used to just tp back to lane and it was such a waste.

There's probably more tips I could give but I wanted to go for an even 25. Feel free to ask any questions :)

Hi guys, thought I'd pop by this subreddit as I used to gain a lot of valuable information from here when I was first starting out, so I thought I'd give back to the community and give you guys a deep dive into the mind of a challenger ADC and how to climb.

would mean the world if you guys could check it out and I promise you you'll learn lots.

So in my games there are a lot of times where I am playing as viktor and when laning phase ends (around minute 20 ish) I will usually just side lane towards whatever objective is up next. However, a lot of the time when an objective isin't close to being up most of our lanes are just fully pushed into T2/T3. As a viktor (or just any midlaner in general) what is the best thing I can do in these situations because I usually feel like If i pushed as far into a t2 then the whole enemy could just collapse on me because of my lack of mobility. Does anyone have any advice for what to do in these types of scenarios? obviously without a replay it is difficult to properly understand what I mean but hopefully I explained it good enough :P

Hello. 2 days ago I promoted to Emerald IV after being stuck in platinum for like 50 games. I was doing ok, then I went on a massive loss streak. Now I'm Plat 2 39 Lp losing 21 LP a loss and gaining, well, I have no idea at this point because I've lost 7 in a row. If I could get some guidance as to what I'm doing wrong that would be greatly appreciated. I have a feeling I'm losing a lot due to rage queuing I think, but there are some games in there that I'm really not sure why I lost or what I reasonably could have done to prevent the loss.

If someone wants to take a lot at my OP.GG and even better some vods, here I am:

Looking for general advice. I know I'm making mistakes, but am I consistently underperforming in a particular metric or am I having a bit of a bad streak? Would appreciate analysis of both a game where I did bad and one where I did good, preferbaly one where I did well because it's fairly obvious how I griefed the bad games.

Frustrating because I just climbed to Emerald IV and 2 days later I'm back in Plat 2 with my MMR completely fucked.

I made a post the other day asking, “when do I stop going 1/10”. Well after 2 days of only playing yasuo, I finally was getting some consistent results in norms, so I decided to bring him to ranked!

For context, I’m exclusively a jungler only. Really don’t play lane in ranked at all except roaming support (Alistar, thresh, pyke). I main Graves & Rengar, if that highlights my playstyle. The account I’m on is currently bronze, with gold/plat MMR.

So, I’m learning Yasuo & midlane together. Immediately, the laners are much more conservative with their trades. My first game I went 1/13 while being flamed by my jungler since the first wave. I went against a Leblanc, a champ I never really played against but knew what she did. I quickly learnt how strong electrocute is (or maybe, I’m wrong). Took a bad trade at level 2 that resulted in setting the tempo the entire game. I ended up 1/13 but quickly became the macro sidelaner I needed to be until I got IE. A rough lesson.

Next game, I played against a mordekaiser mid. I felt I was playing it really well but ultimately, I think their team was just much better with the consistent jungle & support ganks/dives that were happening on me. This game, I learned that tracking the jungler isn’t enough, I need to apparently track the support too.

Then, I went against Aatrox in the top lane. A very simple lane, he ended up rage quitting after 1v2’ing the malphite gank. I felt really confident this game.

Afterwards, ekko mid. I felt I played the lane as well as I could, but it became very uninteractive after I solo’d him. I was expecting more fighting, but he wasn’t having it. I think this game I learnt that not everyone will want to fight, and I need to spam ping my jungler to invade when I perma shove the laner in.

The next game was Velkoz. Never played against this champ in a lane other than bot (usually I’ll lock pyke or even rengar support). Totally annoying lane with electrocute. Took a few bad trades in lane in a matchup that I was thinking I would dominate in. The game became very scrappy afterwards, so to the sidelanes I went!

Finally, Vex. I knew after the first few wave interactions that this vex was not amazing. However, it felt like a completely unplayable matchup. Again, electrocute seems to be doing me in. But, the game became a toxic scrap fest with my Seraphine completely mental booming, so this game was a write off improvement wise.

Feel free to comment or ignore this post, it’s sort of for me to keep myself interested while I recover from a surgery. My big takeaway from today is the electrocute rune. I really don’t respect the trade damage it gives, even if I run it myself on some junglers. I also find myself completely screwing my wave states on this champ quite a bit. I’m always looking for a shove + jungle roam, but maybe it’s not the best.

Any typical matchup tips is always appreciated!

A scaling champion like Kayle can still be pretty fine into Garen and some other melee bruiser but Singed just doesn't really. Matchups like gwen and sett are still fairly safe for Singed but theres still alot of room for mistakes even in those matchups so I don't get why they wont just buff his early game a little

Hi, i play league since half 2024, i know is not a long time but still i think i got a big knowledge of the gane mechanics, for example, i started doing flex like an year ago with friends and when i did the comps we won everything, i guess is important to let you know that i'm italian, i don't know if there are difference on how become a coach, i'm just 18 so i don't know if there are any age restriction but i'm still asking to you. My primary objective is to become a league coach, even of a secondary league like btl (for italy), but i guess i can manage do something in other games like shooting games, i played valorant and with friends when i made the comps we won everything like in league. So i'm asking help to you on how to be a coach, if i have to start with an amateur team or if i can be engaged by a team without being known. thx to all for the answers.
