I grew 3 inches in 3 weeks by following twitch.tv/shoklol !

Hey Shok, great video. Not sure why there aren't more vids like this. It's very valuable. One thing I think would help a lot is posting unfavorable matchup/blind pick/team gap games where, for example, you're vs. a counter with more wave clear, and team is feeding hard with a passive jungler. Low elo players have few complaints when things are going well-but mentals boom when things go badly and fundamentals go out the window. So more examples of how to climb yourself out of holes, examples of when a game just isn't winnable and how to still learn from it, and examples of how to make decisions in worst case scenarios would help a lot. There are way more examples of content creators raging when things go wrong, so players think toxicity is the only response to these situations. A playlist full of examples of hard games to study adaptive decision making and macro would be great, because it's very hard to cherrypick this specific type of VOD out of all the League content on KZfaq, let alone one that's giving educational commentary throughout. Or even better, playing these types of games on a 200+ game 44% winrate tanked MMR account perhaps in a promo game where the matchmaking will make it difficult (I'm sure your viewers would love to volunteer their logins), versus a fresh account, as it would more accurately depict the low elo experience from that rank's perspective. Most educational smurf content is on accounts with good MMR thus an inaccurate depiction of your average Bronze-Silver game. I would tune into a stream where you're logging into viewers' hardstuck accounts, playing their main, and fishing for hard games to educate with (and switching accounts before you win enough to be considered boosting). You've become my favorite educational midlaner, keep up the great work! I'll definitely be watching every video in this series.

I think it would be awesome for you to do a recap after getting out of each elo, highlighting the most common mistakes and the main abilities needed to climb out of it. Great vid btw, even though it might be boring for you, it teaches a lot to us mere mortals. loved the idea!

Liked the fact you didn’t just run over them with mechanics 1v9, and carried through consistent fundamental ways. I’m in this elo bracket and the explanation for why you opened mid instead of bot (21:30 in the video) was super helpful, already translating into my games. Would be interested in seeing a control mage vod, cause i feel like they are hard to pilot in the sidelane and are played alot in this elo bracket.

Thanks Shok, it's really helpful to hear your thought process throughout the game in your usual style, and it definitely helps when you point out the ways that things commonly go wrong in a certain situation at low levels, and what the correct thing to do instead would be

can you also explain when you play what the enemy did wrong or how you are exploiting their mistakes, and what they shouldve done differently? thanks, love the content !

Fantastic video Shok, can already tell this series is gonna be so helpful for me as I get ready to break that diamond-masters barrier. Keep up the great work!

I liked how much you explained and so in depth info thank you! Helpful

ooooh Yes I've been waiting for this series ❤ Can't wait to see more!

Your videos are actually so useful. Definitely the best mid lane channel alongside coach Curtis.

Helpfull as always!

very good video man thanks for your content you're very good to explain and always chill! 100%

Thanks for the video, it was very helpful

Love ur Vids, for me u do perfectly - explaining all of ur thoughts and steps, i do learn alot watching u, so no need to change anything 😊 thanks for helping us, and even listening to our requests ❤

amazing video shok, looking forward to the kog'maw seraphs mid game coming out in 17 days time !

I reallyl ike the way you teach and especially the Unranked to master series.

loved the video from start to finish. Would love to see one champ in each vid and with different playstyle and role 🙌

New series! Hype!

I think you explain your mindset pretty good man be exited to see more and I'd be happy to see more ahri 100% because I'm going to start maining her again 😁😁👌 maybe you could mostly do ahri games and then just single feature episodes on other champs people vote for

Love it!!

Enjoyed it a lot! For some champion suggestions, an you play Malz (like ahri with push and roam but isn't as fast on rotations but has a powerful single target lock down) and also Anivia (Great scaling area control burst mage that can also do well early, struggles with artillery but has been good for a while)

Really loved the video! I liked that this was far from a game where everything went well. My only hope for this series is that you do show us those games were you aren't able to carry, because I think those games will be way more informative for me than wins! Sometimes the enemy have a strong early game mid jungle duo that camps your lane whilst at the same time the enemy twitch lulu duo is 6/0 at 8 minutes, and it's those games where I feel completely lost as to how to get any winning chances at all.

Banger video. Some AD mids would be interesting to see. Some Yone, Yasou or Talon.

another banger 🔥🔥

I love this guys videos he makes me so happy

The 🐐 returns with the long awaited series

Very educational video!

I love the smurfing content when it’s this good! Great educational gameplay, insane how you can play and be talking about all this stuff at the same time :)

Very good rank specific advice, for low elo

another great video! this series is actually interesting cause you can show how to turn the games that average league player would stamp as a team diff xd as a emerald stuck assasin main i personally struggle against huge lane bullies like ahri, syndra and especially hwei. also those crackhead yasuos that just spam e and force you out of lane, hopefully you can show some kind of counterplay for that in future videos :)

Great video! I'd love to see some Vex gaming in this series. :)

Super valuable. Would love to see an Akali one

Great video, great content. What would you suggest when you get prio in mid-lane, but you get either and auto filled jungler, or a player starting his jungler journey (so, your jungler not being actually a teammate you can rely, or build on with your mid-prio). How do you approach map rotations, using your mid prio advantage. Do you try to compensate for your jungler ? If so, how ? If not, how do you think it could affect the outcome of the game ?

Great video. Personally I'm interested in detailed explanation of your thoughts processes. Expecially the criteria that you use in order to make a choice or planning something

keep up the good work, it helps a lot

i really enjoyed this video

Great vid, I’d love to just see more ahri

Hi Shok, love the gameplay and informative content! I had some questions: 1. 2:20, warding, since we know lee went bot, isnt it better to hug top of lane, and keep the ward in this instance? As well, is a Sol guide in the works or any gameplay being put out with him?

I would love to see how you play Ahri against a roaming assassin and invisible junglers (like a Naafiri/Shaco combo). My main struggle is getting outroamed and dying to invisible junglers.

Could you show how you play against some counterpicks/hard matchups? Not saying that Sett is an easy one, but it's not something you see very often mid.

Love the content, I prefer the higher elo games but this type of vid is great too. Maybe a yone game in the future?

The KZfaq content man

Consider doing a cassio game at some point, great vid. I enjoy smurfing vids cuz they are chill and the person playing is always more relaxed. The topics covered aren't applicable past a certain elo since you are effectively preaching to the choir, but sometimes people get to high ranks without a good understanding of basic concepts too.

For realistic you need to miss 75% cs😂

I think the one thing holding me back in silver is I always end up having only 6-7 cs minute. My trading has gotten really good and I’ve been getting better about panning over to fights to see if they’re worth taking but I think I just need a little more gold and I should be able to carry easier.

Such a quality

maybe a weird take, but would love to see this series with 1 additional rule: no dark seal obvi you're gonna stack it really hard when smurfing. But when you're worse at play execution (like me) it's not really a viable option.

This is extremely helpful! Would you consider playing a different champion each game, so as many people as possible can learn specific tips for their champion in low elo (I’m a silver Azir main)?

What was the thought process behind not building Mejia's when you hit 10 stacks on your ring?

MY OCE GOAT

Unranked to masters is awesome. I love it. A class specific climb would be cool in the future but I think for the first one just seeing fundamentals and game theory that are tested at lower Elos really helps teach them to us

Slightly confused about the ward and lane placement. When you say “hug to the ward”, are you playing on the opposite side of the lane to the ward placement like in the example with Lee Sin’s first gank v ahri? Does it not make more sense to play on the side of the lane that has the vision there?

could you do a video on taliyah in midlane?

I play a lot of ahri, and have been confused about something. At 3:49 in-game you get 40 gold. I get that same thing randomly every game and I don't know what it's from. Do you know?

if you are at 10 dark seal stacks and fed, why not buy mejai's?, is it not worth it the risk or gold?

Nice video, if I can give a tip: try to win without "flashy plays" when playing in these lower elos, that way it shows how it's more about the basics and less about champion mastery. You already kinda did it in this one, especially in lane, although Ahri is a bit mechanically tricky. Would love to see some Syndra, Lux

Hype 😩😩

can u pls make a video on how to play against ahri.

little bro Sett had no idea he 'boutta get clapped by the OCE equivalent of mothafuckin' Chovy

Can you please stress midlane fundamentals to surely snowball kind of like Alois does. Also waiting for your high diamond low masters content!

i saw you on a mr bruv slideshow lol

Lets go!!!!

Hi Shok Just wondering if you ever going to pursue a modelling career? You have quality Features i think suited for a better career path P.S When can i expect that $20?

Im currently trying to get out of bronze. I've noticed even if we have a lot of winning lanes the games last for a very long time. I try to make baron calls around the 20 minute mark but my team does not want to follow. Anyway to make games that should last 20 minutes actually last 20 minutes? Lol

Great video! Can anyone suggest content like this for other roles?

Hey shok, something I think a lot of people get wrong in these series is the account you're on isn't actually silver elo. new accounts like this are all paired up in the beginning so you get a bunch of other people that are smurfing, not challenger level but this most likely is closer to a plat level game. You can tell just by the Setts movement that he's not silver. I think a very very very interesting series would be if you got like a hardstuck silver account and tried to climb. This series just isn't realistic because by ur next 3 games you will be in diamond or close to it. You won't have to deal with people throwing on purpose, afk'ing, etc. I have been playing the game 9 years, 15 different accounts, and I can honestly say hardstuck silver is the hardest to climb out of in the game.

I personally love watching Smurf content, but I don’t want you to force yourself into anything you don’t enjoy. I love all your videos for the big brain knowledge 🧠🧠

Can you play a melee champion next episode? Like sylas, akali or yone, it would be very helpful for me.

Let’s go!!

Meanwhile my bot lane is 0:10 and my jungler inted 2 times :D

Can you do azir next please next video xd

WOOOW ! First impressions on me ! Your fundmentals videos are still bookmarked on my tabs i watched midlane fundmentals one hour and 14 minutes video and some more but not finished your 21 video on midlane fundementals ! I wish if you could play your low elo tier list to show us how it looks!! I tried to play your low elo champion tierlist and i didnt climb out of silver my bad and i give up because i thinked ah ok midlane its not for me and back to support and i climb out of silver hiting platinum II but its all same it doesent matter ... booy its getting long text.. This is my results,like i said i try your tierlist for low elo so i i suggest to see how that tierlist really looks when perform correctly thanks for this series thats so much exsiting keep it up and good luck ahgah :D

I remember u saying many times that u generally dont like smurfing and u kinda explained it in the beginning, but what about 1 video = 1 fundamental stuff? I think it would be pretty unique and still along with what u usually make content about

talon and jayce will be fun in low elo

Veigar pls😊

Pllllllzzz do annniiieee

Can I be honest with you? I know that people request this type of content a lot, but I really think: A) It's of no value to the person watching it (at least not in the way they think it is) B) It creates a very negative toxic experience in the rank you are smurfing at. Let me explain: A) The thing is that your mental stack is way different from that of a player in the elo you are playing at, which is what allows you to dominate the game, the person watching this doesn't have this mental stack. If we compared this to chess you are essentially playing 10 steps ahead, while a person watching this might be 3 steps ahead. So it's almost impossible for them to gain a ton of value out of this type of video since they don't view the game the same way you do. They would get the same amount of benefit watching you play at your own ELO. Another thing is that your tethering, spacing, mechanical ability is again something they can't imitate, and this is also what allows you to carry the game and build an advantage. In fact because you are winning so easily it's harder to notice what you are doing correctly, unlike where you struggle a bit vs your lane opponent at your own rank B) As someone currently in Emerald I cannot describe to you how bad it feels to get wrecked by someone surfing. Just two days ago the enemy had a jungle Graves who was on a 37 game winstreak out of unranked on a brand new account. Needless to say our jungler got decimated, the whole team flammed them and it really wasn't their fault. I was playing top Vlad and even though I was winning lane, it was for naught. Graves just ended the game before I could scale to match him. The issue again isn't really in the lost game it is in the gamestate that you create in the enemy team. There is a loss in sense of fairness and it also generally reinforced the negative mentality of "booster on the enemy team", "gg ff at 15", "we don't deserve to win", "surr or I afk" etc. In my opinion there is enough of that in the League by itself without you (and other content creators that do this type of videos) adding to it. Of course at the end of the day I know this is your job and that this generates clicks and revenue for you, and it's your livelihood and I respect that. So no matter what you decide to do, I think you channel is very good and helpful, but I just needed to share my opinion on this. if you managed to read this far you are a real champ man xD

do this in a hardstuck silver or bronze game the mmr is diff then a fresh account

gaming

o7 to enemy team

Please Assassins only ❤

LeBlanc smurfing would be awesome

Not a fan of smurf content to be honest. Maybe if you had some kind of a handicap like only locking in champs you don't usually play or going to another server for higher ping.

My account is somewhat cursed. It's quite easy for me to hit masters in flex (queuing up solo), but when it comes to soloq, I barely can escape gold/silver. Opponents are always somehow up to teamwork and willing to win and my team is not. Just went on a big lose streak, falling from gold 2 to silver 3💀

Feels bad 9 players had 0 impact on who won, just npcs. Personally I enjoy you high elo stuff much more

silver 4? he just like me fr

Smurf content is kinda boring and can be kinda mean, honestly. But this is good, because sometimes your reasoning in a challenger game isn’t totally applicable to lower elo games. It will be cool to see you climb to masters in this account. Just don’t become one of those content creators that do “I did AP Garen mid and carried 1v9!!! CRAZY NEW BUILD” 😂

shok i got an idea League of legends for dummies book easy money

Please don’t one trick to master so boring. Also please can you use this series to teach how to draft properly it’s something I really want to master since I’m good with a lot of champs and feel like it’s one of the most op ways to win more games . Cheers and good luck on the climb

Smurfing! shok changed smh!

Unranked to master on Ahri please 🙏

nice job ruining silver games!

i generally enjoy your content. But i am unsubscribing. I can't stand Smurfs. If concepts can't be shown in a equal elo game versus ruining a game for 9 people, than the concept doesn't work. Thanks for all your prior content, i will no longer be watching.

This content is absolutely useless and people who ask for it dont understand it. Watching a challenger player smurf in lower elo does not make you a better player, because the challenger player has all this understanding of the game which he performs unconsciously. There is no way a silver can learn how to get out of silver from shok because they operate on a completely different level, he lacks the muscle memory. The only thing he can try and understand is how to use abilities on ahri, which he can learn from watching shok play in challenger anyway. All in all this is just shok destroying some silver players experience. Come on man, go back to your elo

Shok , cant wait to see Emerald climb to Diamond.. getting frustrated here 3 accounts on Emerald in LAS server and cant get out on any of them!
