I'm blown away with how simple and effective the first tip is. Not only does reviewing your game's the next day allow you to be emotionally detached as if you're viewing someone else's gameplay, but it even saves time because it gets you back in the right mental state. Normally I need one first "throwaway" game every day.

Tip number 3 was like Curtis was watching over me and knew exactly what my issue was over the past month. What a legend, thank you for yet another great vid.

Very interesting points, thank's a lot for sharing. As a mid main I was a bit frustrated about the durability changes, I really feel like mid was in a good spot, and then the game became more bot-oriented. This frustration caused me to do moves that I couldn't do anymore, and instead of taking the responsability, I would instead put the blame on "yeah I need to re-learn everything back-up" even though the fundamentals aspects of mid lane are exactly the same lmao

looking cute again curtis

I am so glad i found this channel, such good thoughtful and insightful stuff. really relevant to any game or any pursuit, proper mindset is so important!

As a jungler main, when i review I always look at the game from both perspectives. It has improved my knowledge about fog of war and enemy jungle pathing, enemy warding etc. Looking at what information the enemy has and what information you have and analyzing it is really hard after a gaming session, so I’ve started analyzing before gaming

incredibly helpful as always, ty curtis!

Thanks for the vid, coach! At 14:05 you mention that our fundamentals are the first thing that tend to go to shit when in one of these mental ruts. You give a few examples seemingly off the top of your head. I'm just curious about what exactly you consider fundamental. A quick list would be great! I just want to ensure I know exactly what I need to focus on until it's habit. Cheers mate! 💙

Thanks again coach for another amazing video! Love the content you put out and keep up the wonderful work

keep up these incredible advices explanations lol context videos i stopped watching a lot of your videos simply because i got to grown myself rly hard with ease (climbing on handleveled/botted acc and get D1 EUW/EUNE with a 70% winrate) getting only micro/mechanics was the reason why i was stucking Plat/Diamond now since 2 years already getting the macro and perfect map attention on jungler/supp (top rarely) made me skyrocket to the GM/Chall MMR but not elo atm haha it takes so much times... for that being said i'm saying all that because you're a part of the reason why this achievement happened to me so thank you!

Tip 3 in this highlighted something i needed to hear for my mental health and in life, more so than league. I have for tomorrow. Thanks

i literally thought about that first tip like yesterday and wanted to implement it for todays session lol, great minds think alike coach

Great content as always Curtis

8:45 Great advice.. unless you're low ELO. If you're under platinum or gold.. understanding WHY people do things is going to eat and KNAW on your brain till the end of time. Just don't even bother questioning why they would do it or if they would because they're that unpredictable. The best thing you can do is understanding what they CAN'T do and trying to deny certain things they can. Not try to predict because that's really only something you can do in high ELO.

Great video chief! I feel like in the Akshan/Corki situation, the question is rather if Vi or Lulu are also top. I Akshan were alone, he would never commit to the roam no matter how desperate he was, because he has a 0% chance of getting a kill on his own. On the other hand, if his team mates are roaming up as well, he will of course join the play.

love this one actually, I actually reviewed some games just after watching this and I must agree that it feels like I was watching a different game lol I think it could work really well!

because of coach curtis I went from silver 1 to diamond 2. I hope I can hit challenger one day

Gotta be early for my man Curtis, Godspeed to you!

Really good video especially the tip number 2 wich is very hard for low elo player. Greeting from France, still the best analyst.

This video is so important into learning and improving. Just by example, the first tip... you already known what to do and why, you dont know what your enemy wants to do and how. So is important that you go review and have an open mind on how things can work. If you on the game dont follow a bad call but by probability if you help that could go well and you will win ... Then is your fault for being cherry picking your fights intead of working as a team (especially on lowelo where fight goes all the way)

Great vid!

Very helpful 👌

Thanks for the tips, I'll try to implement that. For the third tip, I thinks it's really really hard to get out of a narrative when it starts forming. I don't even know how to recognise such thing, let alone cut it early. (Think about it like getting into a cult or something, how would you cut the crap ? idk for myself)

Had one of these games today was carrying as a Mordekaiser making a 1 vs 9 most of time I was ulting the enemeis alone because my comp was most mages and they had Malphite and Assassins so I played my very best got a bunch of kills, then they start to group better and build MR. In the last baron Shyvana stole it from me, I had the game in my hands and from there they just snowballed was a very very very hard loss because I gave 120% of my best and still lost. These matches where you now you give your best and still wasn't enough to win are the hardest to accept and move on. Next time I'll just get a better vision of the enemy jungle but I now we just can't control everything in the game, even if you're a pro, mistakes and unexpected plays will happen.

Great video!

My man is nailing the thumbnails lately woah

Well, something I realised while reviewing, while looking exactly for just HOW bad a lane did (because it felt awful ingame): Sometimes they're really bad but many other times, they're actually doing better than it felt to me while it was happening. So, at least now I can remind myself that whenever I feel like strangling my laners again, there's a good chance I am wrong and it really isnt as bad as I think. Another approach I had was the obvious one: Reviewing the first one or two times I died. Did I miss any info, did I actually hit or even use my abilities? etc.

Hey Curtis, Number 3 is just everything for low elo. People joining soloQ while being drunk or tired or super super tilted. This is why they go on a terrible losing streak. Now, to really be an anti tilt player and make a step ahead of my elo, I generally warm up for 13 minutes before joining a soloQ game, using hyper focus and/or epic music background like I'm preparing myself for a battle (testing combos, hooks, cs techniques, smiteless first jungle routes and so on). After that I generally perform better than without a proper warm up session. This helped me reaching diamond.

hey coach! thanks for the vid! question about identity, would you recommend someones pool be champs of all the same/similar identities to really hone in on one certain style of mid lane and master it like say, viktor orianna syndra? or something with variety to better fit into different team comps? thanks coach

its crazy how much a rut can tank your mental. tip 3 is awesome thanks

thx coach

was hardstuck p1 d4 rank, watched your mid roaming guide and literally won 13 in a row, 1 loss and i keep winning. best coach au...

holy tip number 2 im mid tip number 1. so hearing that i try it then im like YO ITS CUZ THEY WERE AT DRAG THEY DIDNT EXPECT THE OUTNUMBER FROM THE TOP LANE ROAM, THEN (i have to keep reviewing yo good shit Curtis)

Tip No.3 Very much true. 3,4,5 Games that you did everything right and still loose them...bam...i am like...okay, my champ does not work anymore, it does not matter how i play, cause the rest is like and so on. And then i am like...okay...bust it...i play what ever i like, and then i go in ranked with champs i never tried before and play all this crazy off meta hoping to find something that will make me climb :)

This the man that got me to diamond lets go

The first thing I don't understand is why Corki did not just stay top to help finish off the tower quickly. That alone would have prevented the play of the opponent because the tower provided the safety to make the play in the first place. And even after the death of one of his team mates the Corki could have killed off the tower quickly, but he ignored it. People have such a lack for understanding the importance of objectives, it's cazy.

thank you

Hey coach my last 10 games are trolled by bot lane they just came mid at 3 all the time and it's hard to play like that. I can handle losing lps but how I can manage my mental when get trolled. Specially when its get streak... Should I stay on fountain when my team get a troll guy or just try to win and get tilted a bit. (Master elo btw) love u coach 👊

Curits I would really like to listen to your thoughts on the patch 12.14 since top lane will die and dragons will have a huge impact in the game.

Can you you another video on how to carry with rumble now that's lissandra was changed?

13:10 🤣🤣🤣

The situation from tip nr 3 is currently happening to me. I had 3 close games that were basically wins and we threw inside enemy base, griefers griefers griefers and suddenly I'm 200lp lower with a record of 13-26 last 40 games lol. Plus I also started learning a new champ on smurf and it's been going exactly the same, griefers griefers griefers I dropped from d1 to d4 XD Help.

I just wanna say i love these glasses

Coach Curtis out here recommending empathy and consideration to league players based

Are you vod reviewing the first 8 minutes of the game or what do you mean?

Just going to vent some thoughts because I've had nowhere to put them recently. (sorry for the wall of text) I am not looking for sympathy. I just want to say I'm sorry. I've noticed through just growing up and therapy that during ranked games, my anxiety is peaking and only in the last few weeks have I been trying some solutions to try and calm down in game. I'm not talking like "Im scared to play ranked", in the game DURING the match. I find that my hearts going double my normal resting bpm, my palms are sweaty, my brain is foggy and I'm shaking. I don't really get it because when I'm playing norms with friends, I am taking the match equally as seriously, but the rest of it, is just not there. I experience the same level of anxiety in an exam, job interview or first date. I really can't wrap my head around it. I've taken breaks, months off without a single game in large blocks. I've tried warming up on a smurf with mixed results. I don't want to quit, I have the discipline and I have the motivation, I've wanted Plat for 3 seasons. I've been hardstuck G4 for several seasons despite my best efforts to climb. The highest rank I've ever achieved was G2 in the S12 pre-season. I play 100s of games a season. I have my good days and bad days, some days I am able to accept my mistakes and others it's the complete opposite. I've been watching Coach Curtis since 2019. His video have helped me tremendously through understanding League as a game, and how to improve. It made me feel slightly better knowing that curtis experiences ruts as well. I try my best to take his psychology tips on board because I find that is largely my most difficult issue. Because I am that teammate.You've all had a 'me' in your games. Im sorry. I wish I could control my emotions better. I am the one that explodes at minute 5 to my own mistake. I flame everyone but me. I mute everyone and type essays in the chat about nothing. I have been a volatile mess for too long. I jump between roles, and champions and first time in your ranked game then flame someone for the exact same thing in the next match. I highlight the mistakes of my teammates and explode when they highlight mine. I am 25 years old, I feel embarassed to even have so many issues climbing in a game I supposedly enjoy. Ive mained jungle/mid since S9. I mainly play Shaco (I know how on brand). He's the only champ that's really stuck with me for several seasons. Mid champions Ive played the most are: Akali, Sylas and I've added Qiyana to my pool recently. I just really like bursty champions with outplay high outplay potential. I am fully aware I likely make catastrophic mistakes in game with matchups, trading, warding and leaning. Just some garbled thoughts from a lost player right now. One day I hope to work it out. Thankyou for another amazing video Curtis. (I also listen to the BBC and watch Nathan as well!)

This video doesn't apply to ELOs lower than gold 4 because I get peeps dying to obvious ganks while having wards, pings in advance 30 sec++. You couldn't believe the shit that's happening in some folks head when they say after x/XX/x scores: "I did more than you. You did nothing for our team. Look at your opponent. He did much better than you." and when I check replay I can see clearly as daylight my opponent was not even interacting with them and the x/XX/x mate is just a dumpster fire on all fours, because a biped cannot play so fucking bad...

Nice

Can you explain how to get better luck, can you carry 2 inters almost every game and it just feels helpless bad luck

Who cares about leauge climbing , I need coach Curtis as more of like a day to day life coach lol 😂

only 5- min per tip? such a fast video

Any advice for reviewing games when you feel like you dont have a lot of time to review and play?

handsome young man 🥰

holy shitt the vi is super metroid ur client high ranked?

Hey bro, quick question, is Miss Fortune a good choice mid even tough its unconventional ? I main mf but feel like depending on the sup the outcome changes so much.

Coach (or anyone reading this) do you have some tips for a low elo player silver 2, which has real problems with lane states. Not that I don't understand it (Maybe I don't but I try to stack waves or keep the lane neutral), but 80% of my junglers just come run in, destroy my lane, run further, don't leave wards anywhere. And if I say something I should L2P and stop Feeding their jungle opponent. Where they put me in a situation where I have to over extend, open for ganks. I love Ahri and Leblanc or control mages like Orianna, should I start playing other champs, push and roam ????? Greetings out of Germany.

I can't really describe the awesome/powerful feeling when something clicks, but oh my god it felt like heaven when it happened with tip #2.

what do u mean by game block??

what does a block mean?

Me not wanting to review games but also wanting to hit master untill the end of summer 😰

If I lose a pile of games I pick chogath jungle then if that doesn’t work I play Lillia mid.

What is his opinion on climbing with talon? I’m trying to decide a mid laner to learn to play. I’ve always been an adc but I really always like the type of look of talon and I’ve learned I really like mobile champs. I’m just trying to pick something to learn mid lane. Also, any tips on playing assassins early game into heim or is it just almost impossible till 6?

Let us be real here, the game play at lower ranks is really toxic and is not satisfying

How to climb with 1-2 afks and 12 deaths teammates. Please do this one next. I dare you.

To prevent self sabotage get a smurf account and int on there instead, lose other people's lp not yours 5head

Reviewing your games is something really sad and eye opening at the same time, you start noticing how bad you are and how much openings you losed to win the game (english not my frist language)

I'm going to double post here. I went from gold 4 this season I am now silver 4 0LP about to demote to bronze. I am not making this up, I am not saying I play perfect. But around 90% of my games I have someone afk on my team. It is disgusting. Some games I get loss mitigation some I do not. I have had 15 game losing streaks with afkers in every single game. Riot will 1000% force you to play with bad, griefing, rage quitting players if they want your win rate to lower. I do not think for a second that the 30/30 what ever bull shit is real. I can disprove that when I have a 10% win rate over the past 90 games.
