THANK YOU LS, YOU HAVE ANSWERED MY PRAYERS FOR COACHING VIDEOS I NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH MY BALLSACK NEEDED THIS

Im so happy he's back to his roots

This is amazing content, both educationaly and the fact that Jones is super funny as a person. Loved it!

I would love to see LS coach a full team. Mostly I'm still salty he got booted from C9 so quickly and we didn't get to see the full mad scientist comps.

This is like the best news i've had in a while, i missed coaching vids from my favorite coach ;-;

gorillajones is the GOAT of solo ruining every game he plays

Fun video! If its possible could you upload more of these?

best take from this video is control wards, so many people go into depression over losing a cannon and then they dont give a single fk if they 4fun buy a control ward and let the enemy kill it or just buy it for no reason

Back to his roots, I'm awaiting mtg comparisons that the player doesn't understand

Why would anyone get a coaching session with LS when for only $100 more you can get one with Neace, the absolute GOAT? /s

We have a high demand for videos from coaching sessions here

i am absolutely flabbergasted thank you mr. shadow for this video!

immediately asks to turn off shadows

Good to know masters players also do the classic "failed tier 3 push into losing baron" that I see in my silver games.

Pog youtube league content... Never forgets the legend silver kayle

The jones factor😊

Holy shit I think I learned so much from this

Not a $350 session based

Man this guy hates pink wards!

Really nice to see coaching content!!

Control ward gives you vision where the enemy is/isn't, prevents vision of enemy team, gives an area of approach without enemy knowledge, provides team with wider area of knowledge . . . I think control wards are OP )

I too have been waiting for this session :)

turn off shadows because he is the LAST shadow

Do more of this costreams are fun but only if you haven't already watched the game

Let's goo sir kled that's how you know he isn't there to win

Oh wow exciting, I was not expecting to see this in my feed today

I died laughing at 7:00 when he said "shit" or w/e in Korean. XD

Food for thought. In terms of raw numbers, a control ward that exclusively clears 2 wards gives it value. The caveat is whether a player with a sweeper is coming through, or its likely to go on cooldown when the enemy team re-wards important areas. What defines an "important area" is relative to the champions in the game, but lets get more fundamental. Whats the point of vision? It places an enemy champion on a specific point in the map, reveals their current items, possibly catch them using a crucial ability that can be taken advantage of. Regular wards offer this, and are invisible, but they expire, and can be destroyed in 3 or 1 hit (considering umbral glaive or chemtech scryers). Control wards are not invisible but take longer to destroy, and again depending on the champions in the game if they have fast auto resets or high attack speed then that point can be irrelevant. Back to the point about exact enemy location though, if you dont see an enemy, you can still know where they are, and this works both ways. If theres a dragon fight and you're blue side, and lost control of the river, you can guess the enemy has 5 players in the river or the pit, probably 1 in the pixel brush that will get bullied out if 5 players approach, again subject to variation if its a 25 stack mejai diana vs 5 flashless Miss Fortunes, but as the team enters towards the pit, player vision is all thats needed, and as such, theres no reason to buy control wards if you're red team.... EXCEPT, if theres threat of a flank. The Control ward can then clear the ward they would use, or see the flank coming and that champion needs to spend time clearing the ward, or is focussed on the players that they dont even see the ward, or walk past the bush with the ward inside it. Again this can be achieved with regular wards however. Outside of this context they can be useful at baiting for a pick on whoever tries to clear them, which is contingent on having champions that can effectively collapse on them, and for those champions to be effective in the area. An ashe arrows from halfway across the map has more or less as much effect as an Elise within 2 E ranges. The alternative for the player trying to clear the ward is to run away, as they probably should if theyre in such a position considering the gamestate... So it seems to me in the grand scheme of things that a control ward fills the role of being a perpetual sweeping lens which gets value out of showing 2 wards to get cleared, and to prevent surprise flanking, which is to say that theyre useful in spots where trinkets are necessary for elsewhere. One niche scenario i can think of is when a champion or multiple champions with blue or red trinket are fighting an enemy champion that uses bushes and the bush needs to be warded or things get more difficult. Personally i subscribe to the "one and done" method of placing a control ward behind the frontline of the map. By default this would be one layer of bushes behind the river, obviously depending on champions and winning/losing matchups that changes, and changes further if youre head or behind. Buying control wards when behind is a trap, you lose gold, and have so little control of where youre allowed to be on the map that you jsut end up offering the enemy team a net gain of 100gold with each purchase, gold that you need as a team thats behind for items for fights that you need to take such as baron or dragon soul. There is anothere niche scenario again where it can be used to bait an over-extension of a team thats ahead and get critical shutdown gold, but depending on the level of play (which looking at current pro play we're still not there yet) hoping for a mistake of the enemy on something so simple is more often than not just going to be bad odds, which then comes into the point of "if the game is a 90% chance to lose, and you have the opportunity to take a 50-50, then take it". However you have to then weigh up a net loss of 100gold with the control ward in exchange for a shutdown kill of 300+ gold, vs 100gold of potential item stats for later fights. Conversely if your team is ahead id say control wards have more value since its easier to jump on overextention of the defending team, and it prevents sneaking jungle camps, however with good macro to not get 5 man fiddle ulted over a wall like a bunch of morons this is kind of irrelevant.

Really cool video to watch. I've played on and off for over 10 years, and especially the point on where the mouse is, is something that I think I subconsciously picked up on when the game was in a slower pace but not on a conscious level. The point on wards also hit home too as an over-pink enjoyer xD That's even going beyond the layering things, which definetely curb a bit of the overaggressive style where "I have to do everything at all points in time" I've always enjoyed misdirecting by facing my champion away in order to throw skillshots behind me where I "wasn't paying attention" so it's nice to know that exists on an even deeper level. Really makes me want to start playing again; although I'd have to adapt to the the more measured modern style. Super interesting watch. Would be interested what his advice is for more analytical styles, probably just basics basics basics, but I've always had two styles so it's been hard to ever manage them...

"Should I sell doran's for 1 or 2 control wards" "WHAAT??" XDD

When I saw GM kled player I thought of kledula LOL

Hey los it’s everyone

Love the coaching vids

LS, aka "No Shadows"

Regarding the comments about vision, I think on assassin champions like zoe(especially zoe), zed, talon, qiyana any vision is good vision (assuming of course enemy team are likely to walk through it) for pick opportunities regardless of how ahead you are and to minimize you or your team getting caught. Even in the case of control wards, zoe can contest them over walls which creates space. Please correct me if I'm wrong. My reason in saying this is, even if we are ahead or even, playing without vision feels incredibly constrictive at least on zoe especially since she can be punished very easily if positioned incorrectly

Hey LS, it’s everyone

There's no way this guy just asked LAST FREAKING SHADOW if he should sell his dblade for double pink ward XDDD

What a nice surprise to wake up to.

I appreciate this video

LS saying look bot look top (to check the waves), i feel like you dont actually have to move your camera there to see that its 20 blue vs 3 red minions, you see that from the minimap

I love you ls!!

LS the GOAT

thank you for the video!! :DDDD

Don't control wards have a purpose there? While the enemy might know that you are on dragon anyway, they don't know the exact position of every champ in the pit and who exactly is in the pit, enabling someone of your team to flank maybe. Also, if you don't have to use sweeper to clear the pit, you can use it afterwards to clear the jungle, right? Im not a high level player but I feel like in that case a control-ward is good. (referring to 17:50 and the following dragon fight)

bro he said minions will crash at 10:01. so hard to fathom this high caliber level of league :O

Please more coaching videos!

Wish I could afford one of these XDD

i cant watch this guy's gamestate awareness wtf hes a top laner asking elementary splitpush questions "should i overextend so they can collapse on me while i have 2k gold on me?" "i like to take red lol its so satisfying to kill wards lol moneyyyyy"

I only ever buy one Control ward in my games and I keep it in my pocket until there's a moment where I don't have vision in a bush and losing vision might cost me a kill

LS gets trolled 1,000 LP challenger.

This kled player kinda cute ngl

Pls do ADC coaching next

yo that malzahar is cracked

Why does LS ask him to turn off shadows?

Wtf why turn off shadows doesn't even explain why???

would love to have links to the vod with timestamp in the description on these videos nice if i want to continue watching :D

"im better than most of the top laners there" - immediately tunnel visions on his own lane and just afk cameras

IM GENUINELY SO HAPPY I wish it wasnt Kled tho

Ah yes the guy who ruined his career because he ran it down mid in a showmatch and got kicked off his team

Is turning off shadows really a big deal?

Locked camera makes me feel sick ngl

I wanna know how much this guy paid for this 1 hour session

GORILLA JONES

why should you turn shadows off ?

Is there a reason he wants shadows off so bad?

People really over use pinks.

Did he tell him to turn of shadows because his name is last shadow? I feel like people only do that out of habbit because their shit PC back in the day couldnt handle it.

I like all the condescending backseater in chat talking as if they don't peak gold.

30:48 sounds p sus

So the thing with the control wards , if it was say an even game or even a game where were behind, would that then warrant the control ward?

Looks like Gold EUW.. dosnt know when to take top turret, when to push, when to base when to roam, what executioner numbers show etc wtf

This is why I feel like I'll never get better at this game, when he is telling him early to push the wave and get a reset, I don't understand it. Is it because he is low health? Or what? And do you do that every time or what?

why turn off shadows?

hes so full of himself wtf

Can't believe this is grandmaster.

Selfmade! LMAO

Shaco also shouldnt build Demonic XD

Hey ls it's me not ls

Cool educational content but man do I feel bad for people getting coached. I feel like it'd be relevant to point out what the person is doing good too more often, like it just feels like a non-stop wave of negative stuff so it must be lowkey exhausting to get coached like this, saying this as someone who received lots of coaching and who's completely aware that you need to question yourself and be ready to accept critic in a coaching session. I feel like it's your responsability as a coachto not make the person feel like they're doing everything wrong but maybe that's just me. Obviously you're not THAT negative and you're even weaving jokes and all so it's all good but it was just a thought, thanks for sharing coaching for free and much love :)

350$

tbh from the way he plays it looks like his kled mechanics are still mad rusty compared to feedaboi and soulmario... he was chucking out qs from so far away that would never fully realise an attach

Does this guy really think that he is good? Thats so sad.

SAY SHACO PROPERLY I CANT WATCH IT

Grandmaster kled has worse camera control than a bronze korean. Jesus christ NA kekw

game is so ugly without shadows sorry last shadow i will not be turning them off

first

NA Grandmaster looks like diamond 2 EUW at most my eyes

LS you going to address how wrong you were about 100T?

this guy on kled is so clueless bro , na players am i right

Im better at kled and im d1 eune

Neace is the better coach

Honestly I wanna see ls coach some newer or lower elo players who genuinely wanna improve and listen. Coaching high elos hes barely fine tuning them he may as well just give them a paper with some notes on it.

how do you think ur even qualified to coach this guy... for 200 dollars coached by someone who need's to abuse duo to get out of diamond ? that's crazy

grandmaster not microoptimizing haHAAAA

i missed this

ey, my one dude in league scene i hate any hate watchers?

diamond stuck coaching grandmaster the irony

Ignite top 🤮

Coaching a player when you're even worse at the game L00000l, KEK.

But it IS SHAKE-OH. Even the official Riot spotlight says it like that.
