Next up, Hector plays against Faker while on a trackpad

Next year: We made Hector carry NA to World Finals with one hand tied to his chair

I could feel the 20 minutes of frustration and harassment in that single 'sit'. Everyone felt that

Solid top guide. Most top guides show even matchups or even worse, favorable matchups. This tactic can work in many bad matchups. Baiting the enemy into pushing when they want to freeze is a good tip.

This may be my favorite skillcapped video ever. Thanks to Hector and the whole team.

can we get hector at worlds 2023?

We sent our resident fill to challenger player, Hector, to worlds with a chalupa deluxe box as a mousepad and four beginner AI bots as teammates and he managed to carry them to semifinals. We attribute his loss in the finals to him getting distracted by the chalupa, which was getting quite cold.

Here we make Hector counterpick himself against a player much better than he is on a champ with 70% win rate at worlds... *proceeds to stomp Summday at the cost of a few cs* Is Hector actually just better?

I love the passive aggressive ribs against hector 😂😂

Hector just got lucky, they messed up the dive AND he got help from his mid? low elo is totally different!

Of all players, I've always been very impressed with Hector. Just quietly capable

I prefer a guide like this were you show the basic of your teaching being used on a much high level of game play. And as always WP Hector!

Why does losing to Hector feel rougher than going 0-3 in consecutive LCS finals

Just a side comment from a GM/Chal EUW garen onetrick Garen aatrox matchup really isnt that bad (if ure not autofilled) Your laning phase analysis was spot on! But for the most part yes you just ignore aatrox till lv 6/7 Garen hard outscales aatrox in 1v1s, i recently went as far as to say its a solid counterpick option to the otherwise hardly beatable demonchamp Yes its a tuning issue and garen in current patch is extremely strong but aatrox does not really stand a chance lvl 11+ 2items+ as there is little to no counterplay runepage is poopoo but hector is autofilled so i'll allow it. But playing into bully champs or losing lanes you generally play phase rush to scale, conc is a rune for contesting/winning lanes haha! Overall i think hector would make a great garen player :) I approve

Skill Capped really be thinking in ways to torture Hector in the deeps of Elo hell and then say "he's good and happy" May God have mercy on Hector soul

If Hector can beat a pro, you can get out of Silver. They offer you a 5 rank garantee. They have tons of courses of how to climb from elo hell and even "How to Smurf in PRO" thats where this gameplay came from... Next video we'll send Hector to climb in Korean solo queue playing only Lee Sin while blindfolded and being in America using VPN.

12:45 ive been playing for 9 years and had no clue this was even in the game. this makes so much sense to me now i was always confused how minion waves would always differ in power

Are you telling it could be a 100T hector in another universe? :O

Hello! Garen OTP here. While I'm still only ranked Gold, I can confirm that Garen HARD outscales Aatrox in the 1v1. Once Garen gets his mythic, stride/gale force, he just starts one shotting aatrox in his silence duration before he has a chance to sustain back up.

phase rush garen would really shine in this matchup

Hey guys, just wanna say thank you. Just encountered one of my first "I buy accounts to run it down mid and be toxic" people. Ended up feeding 20 kills to a vlad. I recently saw hectors video about how to come back when all lanes are losing, and we won as a result of the advice given. P.S Feels bad when you play an autowin champ like vlad and cant win even with 20 kills, hahah

Can Hector carry NA on 2023 worlds?

The amount of tiny ass minuscule advantages you have to stack at this level To get ahead is wild

make hector play on a trackpad for next challenge

That was actually a good video. Even learn something new with the minions buff when team is fed.

"Don't need Mechanics" "look at his outstanding move, baiting the enemy into trading him but really letting him hit the wave, while at the same time narrowly avoiding all damage"

Im a simple man I see hector i click

"Ssumday is currently practicing hard to do his best at Worlds" lmao when was this recorded

I love this video. More guides on playing from behind, please!

"it's unfortunate that my team is winning" Challenger mindset.

3:30 One plays aatrox, the other plays aatroxious

People fr saying that Hector got lucky and they messed up like if in gold people set good dives with 3 man, if that was done in low elo all of them would die diving

Hector, you better be doing good in wow because I've been missing these.

hector getting roasted is one of the best parts of these videos lmao

I think it’s relevant for everyone to know that if you’re on a matchup this bad and your team and your team looses the other lanes you’ll probably loose and that’s fine you can’t win every game on your own elo, if you could you’d be a Smurf. I took this guide more like as a lesson on how to get carried and not drag your own team down. If Aatrox was 4 levels and 5 kills ahead Garen they would probably loose regardless of how well the rest of the team did

Great video, so easy to tilt in situations like this

Wait, Hector isn't forced to play Low Elo without keyboard? Is this still Skill Capped?

the hector cs-ing incident

This helped a lot. thank you as always! :D

Love hector saying “sit”

The legend him self done it again 🎉

Hector be like: ah shit here we go again

this is why i love playing yorick, i do almost no damage to minion when trading so once i setup a freeze i can trade and the freeze wont be affected much. and being frozen by a lane bully is basically death penalty for many late game champ

These videos are amazing, you explaining everything in such detail. keep it up

I kind of like these pro play analyses

I m a master otp garen and hector plays garen 10 times better than me This was an insane masterclass

Hector was already the best and now he plays WoW!! Amazing truly

As stressful as top can be, this video actually made me wanna play top again lol good job! This goes out to all the FF15ers out there!

I'm just glad to see my man @bausffs at the intro! :D

That Garen ult at the start dealing 500 dmg gives me ptsd

Great video. More like this please!

Oh i definitively enjoyed this one🤣

"Sit." Hector has had ENOUGH, the beast must come out you can hear the frustration leaving his body, lmao

Perfect guide ♥️

At 5min.... Try taking that "" trade into a Darius when the wave is pushing into him.

I love this video because I main garen and this is how I feel vs a lot of champs

Good video! I hope y’all do some in other roles too :)

What a masterclass of micro

You mention the 0 cs challenge, now I wanna see it done in the jungle role

The more the general public know all theory, the more this becomes a mechanical game. I love it.

Another evidence for the reasons of great NA performance in the Worlds 2022. Wish for a video like this against really good players that happen to be on NA server

I want Sumday to see this XD. I wonder how it would make him feel

How long has that minion strength percentage been in the game? I've never seen it before, never heard of it.

The creator is having some hate/love relationship going with Hektor xD

I just want to point out Ssumday played weak side very well. I just wish he was more proactive with his leads instead of becoming a shackle for the other top laner

Garen counters Aatrox in early and mid. Want a real counterpick? Play Kayle vs Rene for example.

11:30 jokes on you im spam pinging my friend all day to hold waves for me/take them and i do it for others when im support

Now we need to se gumayushi kalista vs hector garen blindfolded no hands challengue xd

"right now, he's practicing to do his best at worlds" oh no

best guide of 2022

This shows no matter u get harrased in lane, u can still win the game without the jungler help. Only USE YOUR BRAIN!! Good Video and details. I like it.

I mean, it is not hard for garen to deal with aatrox, we want to see how to deal with teemo as vayne

I once was stomping botlane, like 2-3 levels ahead and my toplaner said that I ruined his lane for him because I froze for the enemy. I didn't know how and he called me a retard, now I see what's the problem, that 2% thingy buff based on levels. I didn't even know that was a thing and I was D1 at the time, you can always learn something new, I guess

I'm not here to learn about league of legends. I'm here to hear the narrator trash talk Hector

Relied on galio ult to turn dive. Relies on jungle to respond to not get punished. Etc etc still requires a team that's not brain dead

Ezreal said: last chance to play WoW hector

Solid guide, but please notice that this doesn't know against champs with actually good mobility/chase sustain like a riven, cassio, or darius. These can all abuse a bad trade way harder than Aatrox, so just keep that in mind. Great tip tho, will be running it in bad mus

Even if Garen was at the health he was, he would likely have died during the dive without Galio R to save him. He may have been lucky where the enemy team played it out poorly and gone 1v1 or maybe even 1 for 2 (sure, 1 for 3 could be possible but that sounds like such a botched dive I don't think it's worthy to consider), but he would still have died, lost a bunch if not all plates, 1-2 or more waves and be extremely behind Aatrox to the point he could probably not 1v1 Aatrox after that point. Since he may have been forced to use flash as well, it would be easy for the enemy team to repeat dive him after that to capitalize on the lack of a flash and put Garen even more behind Aatrox since he would likely be 1 or more levels behind from that as well. And you can't count on the enemy to always misplay in order to gain leads in these situations. While I understand the fundamental here is "stay healthy", I think it's extremely misleading that they're not addressing what would have happened if Galio had not gone up there and how the result of that would have changed the matchup as the game progressed, because something like that can change the entire course of the game. Because you can't honestly try to sell in a success narrative *and* then not also address the factors from the enemy team that made that actually possible. And I think that's a big issue I got with SC in that fundamentals are too wrapped up in trying to sell players a narrative. If they're interested in fundamentals, then focus on the fundamentals, not showing how sticking to fundamentals led to a randomly good result. Because you can't rely on your jungler or your mid laner to rotate over when you're being dove, because that's unpredictable. So that Garen got a kill on Aatrox because they misplayed is actually honestly irrelevant to the fundamental they're trying to teach, even if it's correct (and let's be honest - below a certain elo threshold your jungler or mid laner is not going to give two shits about your HP under tower because chances are they're not going to look once at your lane and how it's going except the rare moment they see the enemy top laner being on a killing spree and you being 0/3 and down a bunch of cs and levels and then blame you for that game state even if it's something they could have had a big impact on - and neither will honestly the enemy jungler either). Alternatively, in the very least discuss a situation if Garen did not get a kill on Aatrox but instead died under his own tower and how Garen is now forced to play from behind in a losing matchup early on even if Garen outscales Aatrox as the game progresses. Because I think these situations are more relatable to the average player than Galio using R and Hector getting a lucky kill on Aatrox because for some reason they did not track or consider Galio R during the dive. Also, I do think a lot of why the game went the way it did for Hector was because he played the micro aspect of the matchup really well. Most players would get hit by Aatrox sweet spot damage and that would be just it for them. So please less "we considered that but we didn't think it was important" and more "how does that result change the game and when that happens, how do we deal with it?" . People aren't bringing up these counterpoints because they think it's what happens in their elo, they're bringing up these counterpoints because they want to know how to deal with the results of these decisions and how it changes the state of the game. And it's quite condescending to the viewers that you brush off their concerns like that, because you're essentially implying that their questions aren't valid.

Is wave management even a thing when you play support in a silver soloq? Even if I try to communicate with adc they often dont understand.

While I think this was a really good guide, I do think it was very specific. Most toplaners don't have aoe waveclear you can easily bait out, like this won't work vs fiora or irelia. Also it's easy to preserve health with garen than of course most champions. After a half hp trade most toplaners have pretty good dive potential, so you are always at risk or losing your life, waves, turret and potentially game.

I legit dont know if aatrox counters garen. I mean yeah, the early levels are miserable, but that doesnt mean he counters it, after lvl6 with ignite garen can run him down, and he has a lot of ms to avoid all the Qs sweet spots. Not trying to say that it is not impressive to beat Sumday on aatrox, at all, just that i dont think its really a bad matchup.

Sure, your midlaner might not help you in low elo, but also you're not gonna get dove in such a coordinated way in low elo. It'll be at most top and jungle instead of a 3 man, and they'll execute it worse.

SkillCapped, guys, I sincerely grateful to you guys, making those videos. Because it does provides a crucial information that makes the difference. And even thought i still failed to climb out of bronze this last season, I feel like im a much better player than i was a year ago, all thanks to your hard work guys.

if the rest of your team loses, well , you cant will all of em

Next vid: Hector 1v5 T1

I would love if you also mentioned how twisted fate threw his gold card way too early and im guessing he had no intel on galio

That was a cool bit of macro!

"Clean garen combo" XD

Next episode hector plays against chovy on Gameboy color to show mechanics don't mattet

Ok, but what do I do when the enemy is actually good at freezing and just sits under their own tower literally the entire game and if I try and come for EXP I get murdered by them? because that's ACTUALLY what happens to me lmao. Top is the one role I refuse to play anymore, it's so disgustingly unplayable for bad players, and then their top just steamrolls my entire team.

next vid Hector vs chovy but he has to int first 3 mins

Is Garen VS Aatrox really that bad of a matchup tho? You can' t respond to his poke early, but you can probably sustain through it, n then then later on counter his combos with silence and then outplay him by pressing R.

I love how they shit talk poor hector for no reason

Hector Copium was so funny.

at 3:34 the galio typed: "mid f 820" always wondered what it means?

Video was good, really good. But i cant help but feel a little bit upset. League has evolved SO much the past decade or so. I remember when i was 15, played a game of league and shit like this wasnt that big. It was there, but not alot of people cared about it. It was actually fun, even with the players making solo q toxic. Now it feels like league has turned into this whole game where i feel like i HAVE to watch guides, practice my CS'ing in another client while death or loading, and making these micromanaging decisions about my enemy laner or team. It feels like im studying, and the solo q is my exam. I just wanna play the game..

"hector was lucky, dodged the dive by help of his midlaner, it wouldnt happen in low elo" in low elo they would never plan a dive during laning phase in first place :d

Would like to see hector with tilterella.

OR. Play sion-> die for cs->splitpush->outscale->1v9->win game
