Hands down, this is the best wave control guide I've ever seen. The only thing that I missed in here is the advantage of diving with a big wave to increase the probability of a successful dive and to deny a huge amount of creeps. All of your guides are so condensed and straight to the point while taken many factors into account. I love it!

Babe! wakeup! We'll be late for our wave management lesson with shok

i genuinely believe shok makes the best, most in-depth guides for league beginners. cannot even begin to express how helpful your channel has been for me as somebody new to the game. this is literally the first time i’ve ever heard somebody take the time to explain in clear steps how to set up a freeze, not just a quick definition of what a freeze is. the extra time and effort put into these videos is very much appreciated

I absolutely love that you make real educational videos. Most "guides" are just gameplay montages with no commentary. Or just basic twitch stream comments while playing. Real guides are rare and so appreciated by new players coming into to the game

my bronze head hurts

Honestly, I love these types of vids covering contents that usually develop over time. As a new player, I love seeing these and hope I can get more of these in the future. Thanks for the great content Shok!

Your content puts so many others to shame, wow. Clear, concise, high-value, zero fluff, thank you.

Shok, I am a jungler learning wave states so I can improve my jungling over all and eventually climb to diamond. Your guides have given great insight and an amazing starting point for that. Your advice and invaluable information is helping more than just laners, and I can’t thank you enough for that bro.

when you caught sylas trying to cheese you at 22:14 he has the best emote in response

this is honestly the best league video of all. wave control is by far the most important concept in the game and the way you teach it is clear and precise.

Just found this because I was depressed that my performance on talon (My one trick who I LOVE playing) was absolutely abysmal recently and was recommended wave management tips from a plat/diamond friend. I saw your playlist talking about mid fundamentals, and after watching this specific video I think I know what I'll be doing for the next 6 or 7 hours

Thanks Shok for this guide, I’m quite new to league and this is going to really help me with my laning.

22:19 Sylas emote only confirms Shok's commentary at this point :D

I just subbed. You're extremely underrated. Hope you get the recognition you deserve

thank you very much! I really hope your content gets more credit, you really deserve it

Your thumbnails are mad good, they def stand out, feels almost official

I was hardstuck silver for years now but this season finally got out of it and even reached plat. I never understood wave control and now finally decided to learn it :D And this is a great guide!

This channel deserves more attention.

Wow that was probably one of the best guide about wave control I’ve ever watched. I’m relatively high elo master 400LP so I know about most of these strats but sometimes just not sure how to execute them properly and when to execute them. Awesome guide!

As Mordekaiser Main i start freezing since min 1 and never stop, even against equal opponents. The outcome of the 1v1 doesn't depend that much on who has a minion advantage, it's more if i hit my q+e. If an equally strong opponent engages and i miss my Q+E, even a big minion advantage won't help. Under tower i can just try to hit my E over and over again till i find a good engage and also poke safely under tower with my Q. So against stronger opponents i need to freeze anyway to no get run down, against equal opponents i freeze and against weaker i will freeze too. Against ranged i freeze anyway to run them down.

Someone else comment/reply if I am wrong or would like to add anything I am missing but I am new to LoL and mid in general and have had success with this method (mainly early game): Slow push and look for short trades to gain HP advantage Once you have established a creep and HP advantage the lane is yours Crash on 3rd wave (cannon) but don't base right away Poke enemy under turret as much as possible for another couple seconds Now they hopefully have lower HP than before and you base They have to either stay in lane with lower HP and crash the waves to your turret which is unlikely because it was cannon wave and its early game so they are relatively weak at clearing and you pressured them a lot under their own turret, so you should be able to come back to the lane in time before they even crash if they do decide this and just bully them off the wave/lane now and establish a freeze or a neutral wave state since you came back to lane with full HP and better tempo. If they match your base timing they lose a lot of minions because now your minions are dying near their side of the lane and the wave will slow push out to you anyway because you crashed it earlier. So their next wave reinforcements meet closer to their side of the lane and because there are more of them, they kill your minions faster denying the enemy laner all that CS If they try to stay and crash you can freeze and that is good and so is the neutral wave state because you have slight item advantage AND you are making your opponent step up more into the lane to farm which leaves them susceptible to ganks as this video entailed. If they push out only one wave and are late to recall the wave should be in a neutral wave state then which is also favorable. This will of course not work for all champs, I have had huge success doing this though with Swain personally as he is the only mid laner I know right now and am playing, looking to try to learn Viktor and other champs so I have a pocket pick if needed. As I said feel free anyone to add to this, I am still a novice to the game and started earlier this year and have maybe 60 mid lane games total. Thanks for the video!

I´ve found some very good playstyles that I would have never thougt about before. Your a real help. Thank You!!!

I've finally understood something about the whole Minion waves control management. This may explain why I tend to lose when I play MID... Anyway, thanks for the clear explanation

I needed way too long to find this channel

nice guide btw i find it rly funny how you close your eyes every 2 secondes as you speak

I love this channel, definitely the most useful and understandable videos out of all the league guide channels

Time to learn this 😎 got up to d2 as sona with 0 knowledge about wave management time to learn

I absolutely love your videos! This are the most useful LOL videos!

Amazing video! Keep up the top tier content:D

I think the best skill is to know when to do each of this wave control techniques. But that is something you learn by playing and OBSERVING the effects of what you decided to do.

so many comments already! love your indepth guides thanks papo shok

Just finished your vision video and started implementing it. It has helped me tremendously. And now you post this? It feels like I should be paying for these videos. Thanks Shok once again!

Honestly I think a connection should have been made between sustainability and freezing. Champions with inherent healing or life steal are significantly better at freezing, cuz the enemy will have difficulty poking you down

Dude... thank you. THANK YOU.

Happy you're back! Love your content.

Ive started playing league 2-3 months ago and im searching for good videos about wave management.hope this one helps

great video as always Shok. Will you make a general items guide in the future?

the best coach on KZfaq is back !! nice !

Wow, freezing into base surprised me i really didn't know that 🤯

13:55 good summary

Great Guide.

Could you maybe make a Tutorial on what makes a good Team comp and how to play different strategies, because I don't know any good ones that work?

i actually got absolutely rolled by a smurf leblanc and zac while i was playing viktor. I had flashbacks when you did that.

great video!

You are my fave leauge youtuber!

So to summarize, sometimes its good to push the lane, sometimes its not. Unless you know the distance from the earths moon to any of saturn's moons, you will still be clueless. Thanks for trying!

i really appreciate your effort, ty

Great videos, too many videos are way to specific about the match up and few of them actually talk about the basic fundamentals that apply to all champions.

Amazing guide as always

That Viator seemed to be miss playing by e’ing the wave when he has no flash

Love the guides bro

Any ex-autoshovers???

Great stuff dude!

When trying to freeze or slow push, do you try to kill cannon minion if it's available?

Thank you ♥️

My date says she is bored, but I learned so much. Thanks

Ayyy wave management I needed this haha, -Fizz Student

Me: "Mom!!!!! Shok uploaded a new In-Depth guide!" Mom: *Hits the air siren button in our house* "Epic" Me: *Grabs the popcorn and a notepad* "Let's watch this masterpiece"

It's 7 am almost (EU central) I should go to bed Shok uploads Guess I won't sleep today

Thanks!

when doing a 3 wave crash do we crash ASAP or do we aim for a 3:15 crash?

I'm always scared to back with the tp+freeze combo if my jungler isnt dead lol

hey, really learnt something new from this video, but I have a question, how Corki could "counter" that "strat" ? 18:51

TY BROSKI

Such a good guide thank you!! I have a question: I believe I totally understand why this lane state is beneficial for you here 21:10. But why is it awkward for Vex to base here 22:47 ? Is it because there are less minions and it’s technically not a freeze or is it because you have tp and you can easily come back and crash it? Or is it both?

hey shok, how do you cheater without losing 3+ minions?

Great video! Are you going to stream again anytime soon?

Hey shok what champions do u like to play the most, what do u play the most, what did u main, and do u have any tip for a mir laner

Kindred adc with riven supp? 21:17

Can someone explain what it means when you say a wave crash? I understand it kind of, but nobody really explains what a wave crash is. And when you say 3 or 4 wave crash, what does that mean?

17:50 in this scenario, how is syndra supposed to stop yone from trimming the wave?

helpful comment

open stream sometimes man

minion genie right here👌👌

Do you think ahri will be nerfed soon? I've felt like I havent wanted to practice her because i've been expecting nerfs for months, but they never seem to arrive.

i play himerdingher ,how to slow push?:

How big should be the minnion advantage in freezing at mid

1:07 why does the opponent try to stop you crashing the wave?

i'm sorry, a off topic question: is for you possible hit diamond/master from a bad pc with 60 fps and good ping? main mid

This is quality

I really like your voice 😅

why do u call them creeps?

Could you go more in depth about how to improve outside of playing? I’ve heard you talk about trying to avoid mindlessly spamming games but I also know I need to get a ton of games in if I ever want to hit diamond. How do I get that balance between learning and practicing

Bro blinks at 0.5 speed 😕

Kuality kontent

Great guide but in my pisslow elo these monkeys dont even know that freezing exists so i cant predict what theyll do😂

shok mate u should start an onlyfans

Being a dota player these are basic tips n techniques
