"You recall constantly, every game" I actually prefer the fast base method. *Side effects may include grey screen and temporary loss of mobility*

When ure playing bard, u can do the portal 20gold before the buy, the portal will not close in that time. And make sure to click to enter the portal before buying. Basically this will reduce the cd of the portal in a few seconds, which means you'll have the portal sooner when getting in to the lane.

another fantastic video from Hector, always like his perspective on league

Alternate title: Butterfly Effect in League

2:27 bro went so hard on the design that he had to make a whole course 💀

Efficiency is at the core of every single video game. The guy who gets most things done in the least amount of time will always have the upper hand. Wave management and trading are built on efficiency too. Getting the most mileage out of the tools you have at your disposal is the ultimate goal in League. Many people have internalized these concepts over the years and at this point you never actively think about them, but for new players, they might revolutionize their experience. My gf always asks me how my friends and I always have more damage at the end of our arams than her. The simple answer I give her every time is that we just see more opportunities to deal damage without taking damage ourselves, which leads to us being able to cast an ability 3 or 4 times when she only thought one of those situations would be good to use it. That way, you gain leads you wouldnt have had otherwise, leading to damage potential you wouldnt have if you hadn't gotten more out of the previous minutes of gameplay. The better you are at leveraging advantages, the more you will see yourself in advantageous positions.

One tip I heard to justify this from a big coach I used to watch: "league is a racing game, and if you don't understand that then you don't understand the game." Every little second counts, using movement abilities to get to lane faster, using them (time applicable of course) to gank or roam faster, etc. It's the small things that always make huge HUGE differences.

I noticed the refill pot sell undo trick that was shown in the Nemesis clip quite some time ago actually; seeing Solarbacca do this relatively often and I also thought it was weirdly genius at the time. And unlike the 0.1 second timesave of walking out of base this one actually saves you clicking back to refil your potions and coming out again (as well as regenning your HP faster if you base on low HP) so it's probably closer to a ~0.5 second timesave? (or almost 2-3 second timesave compared to not using refil potions in base at all). Still insignificant but potentially important for cheater recalls/catching a bouncing back wave a tiny bit faster to not lose 1CS

I really like Hector's way of explaining things and his perspective of the game, it opens up so many new ideas I never thought of before. I would really like to see Hector reviewing his Defeats and explaining what was good, what could have been done better and what to look out for when replaying your games in order to not repeat the same mistakes all over again. Also, another thing you could try is to play against a champion you don't know at all (like when they release a new champ, don't read about it, just queue up and try to win), because I noticed a lot of low elo players don't know the champs they are against. While the simple answer would be to try them all at least in practice tool, not everyone does that.

I’m surprised he didn’t bring up that this is the biggest reason the tilted team loses.

Hector is the GOAT of videos in this channel, amazing man keep it going!

as someone who makes videos i’d love to know what scripting software hector was using when he was looking at pros for examples, it looked perfect

at around 5:22 i had an existential crisis about how i spend the short time i have on this earth

My wife alt tabs when she is bored in lane, i still duoed with her to gold last season. I wonder what we could be if she didnt lose seconds/deaths every game this way.

This video makes me wanna actually buy the subscription

The mana regen thing in the fountain, does this also apply on max health items? When you recall with very low health?

3:49 i know what you are talking about as a jax main it might seem like im capping but i legit use it in my games Edit:also i use this tactic 16:19 as well but i though that max was 7 gold earlier

ive always known corruption potion can't be consumed in the middle but is okay on the edges as an ekko main but the sell-undo is new to me!

As a serious grind player who's gunning for masters+ this video has been one of my favorites released by skillcapped of all time

Hmm how does the mana regen work in the fountain? - Both vid get instantly the mana amount from lostchapter when they buy it. - % missing mana is also not the reason, if the mana regen in the fountain was based on missing % mana, then the vid where lost chapter is bought after 5s would even have a higher average of missing % mana. Only thing i can think about is that the mana regen from the fountain is based on your total max. mana. So when you instantly increase your total max mana it will also increase the ammount of regen from the start. Please correct me if i'm wrong!

- Use your mobility spell (Dash) to get faster to lane (instantly to reduce CD). - When Homeguard is active, Movementspeed boosts should only be used when the movement speed starts to decay (because of diminishing returns in MS stat) - When going to lane and your jungler does gromp (grump?) autoattack it when you have Fleet Footwork (For movementspeed) or even throw a spell to help your jungler - When you are about to recall and you have a refillable potion left, use it (so you have like 50hp less to be healed in fountain)

You can also buy items while using the hex gate in ARAM

This is crazy I always did it the way you advise it but as I was seeing everyone stand outside, buy then move, I figured I was doing something wrong so I changed. Thank you, I’ll be going back to my old ways !

Just a small note. As Lulu main I know that if I cast my shield at the right time during leashing for the red buff, the monster will hit that shield twice, but if the jungler starts kiting the monster moving towards their 2nd camp the shield will disappear before the 2nd hit lands. Please, stay still while you have the shield for that.

Hector's the GOAT at this. My goodness. Well done Hector.

I never noticed that I do the shopping thing, but now that I look back on my games I realize I do it basically every time. I tend to stand closer to the edge of fountain though and when I'm 2-3 gold away I issue a movement towards wherever I'm planning to path and then buy the item. I think moving to the back of the shop or just standing near the center would be way too challenging for me to predict the exact movement-speed-to-gold-gain-to-distance-from-edge-of-fountain to buy items and move out of base as efficiently.

already doing the move before buying. I'm not a pro, and no one taught it to me. It's just a smart thing to do from an efficiency standpoint. I mostly started doing it cause i wanted to watch fights on the map and buy fast without keeping the shop open. while dead/waiting for the item.

i am challenger i do some of these and some of them just blew up my mind especially last one

Sometimes you just need to know it's possible to do, and you will start doing it unconsciously when you are ready. When I was learning the game and playing with a friend, he told me to come back to lane, and I was like "wait, I need this item!", and he told me to just path to lane and buy it while walking out of the shop. And at that time, I was too clumsy with the shop to do that - I would have been out of the shop by the time I had the item ready to click. But now, I do it without even thinking.

Funnily enough I used to do this then this season made a really active choice to not do it this season. It actually took a decent amount of time to force myself to walk first to edge of fountain (or homeguards) and then buy, unless I already bought in death timer. I think if you ever want to undo anything, have to think about buying anything, misclick buying anything, you would way rather just be standing in the shop itself in a good spot and sort it out instead of tabbing back and forth having to micro back into fountain then start your walk again then bring up shop, buy the right thing etc. etc. Basically consistency > optimality, as is so often the case in soloq I find. I think stuff like autoing the blast cone to kill red is fine if you do it every game but just doing this on the fly one time if you're not a graves main, in first game of the day etc. etc. is dumb. You save 1 auto time at the risk of wasting loads of time. Maybe this is why I'm not super high elo but I prefer high-consistency techniques.

Its strange to see Hector being human, I'm kinda hyped to see more gameplay from him

Like Hector I'm also a fan of 'useless' optimisations like in 1:45 I'd like more of that tbh but oh well... Thanks for sharing this video @skillcapped !

As a previous jungler, the racer role, and a support main, those few seconds' worth of tempo add up. How many times have you been a few seconds away from smite, how many seconds before dragon spawn are you supposed to be there, how fast can you clear your camp, how many times have you almost rage quit because a morg Q hit you It's all in increments of seconds. So efficiency, merely micro shit like this adds up. League is a race, the first one to gather resources, the first one to set for objs, the first one to get through towers, and the first one to get to the enemy nexus. You can go whole games without kills and still win, you can lose Soul and Barron and still be at their nexus. The queen in chess is a major piece and point boost but its not worth check mate

ive actually been using that refillable potion thing. except without selling and undoing, i just walked back to middle and out at a point where im like 95% hp and regen the rest of it during my walk back to lane. i like optimizing things but only to a degree, otherwise i optimize the fun out of a game i play casually.

It is interesting. I noticed that I do the shop thing too, but I never realized I do it xD

12:51 I've been doing this forever and you don't have to sell it. Just use a charge and then walk back past the line, then out to lane again.

The blitzcrank example at 6:30 is just reaching. It's not that he "didn't use his mobies" it's the fact that he went around the river + hit the minions + used his w while hitting the minions and not moving which slowed him sooner. Yes he may have made it if he had given draven the minion agro, but also any of those other things he has down slowed him down much more and to prove a point there shouldn't be ignorance about the other 'wrong' things he has done.

I know a way to save time that you didn't mention in your guide : I don't play league anymore. Saves me lots of time in life I can guarantee you that ! 😂

i see lots of people fk it up when they have homeguards though. since the buff gets refreshed only ion the mniddle of teh fountain, walking out whilst waiting for gold is actually bad, because waiting in the middle for full homeguards is faster just as a littel add-on

i love these tips. Especially recalling i am often maximizing my recall even when i see people running towards me :D

This actually is gonna help my mental cause I'm always thinking "oh that little thing doesn't matter." But it does and I need to stop thinking that

I am a high master player and i really like your videos but often times they are just plain obvious to me, having said that, I really liked this video for sharing some minor tips, most of them that I've been doing on autopilot but after thinking about them + showing some other useless tips made me really like this video, waiting for some more content like this :)

So it's essentially saving 0.1 - 2 seconds all throughout the game, which then by saves something massive like 22 seconds by 14 minutes.

man i resonate with this so bad.. great video man

Your boss be like "people want a course, we want money so you better get to work"

I bet it's because the read reads 'apm' or 'cpm' and guages uses that in your skill algorithm

or just stay close the edge imput move command then buy item fast, when spawn move speed is granted then this is good

pzzang focus on pushing the lane as fast as he can since yasuo have so much possiblity to push the lane in the early game im now focusing on these kinda thing like killing raptors the fastest way etc thanks for the video ❤

this might be the best video you have ever made lol

Talking about efficiency: 16:22 HOW DID CHOVY W OVER THERE WITHOUT HIS CAMERA MOVING? THROUGH TERRAIN?

Hector is a treasure.

Thank you for the graves blast cone tip 😮

This is the biggest reason why I love Zilean, I go out of my way to increase the tempo of my team.

14:48 could you pls tell me what program are you using to make mental maps like that? it' really helpful

Backing and being 60 gold of an item isnt an issue at all, just wait in base for 9 years and buy it duh. (Im being sarcastic please dont eat me alive in the replies:) )

No ones gonna talk about yone flash ulting and still miss canon

Most valuable resource is time.

ARAM tip: Buy while using the portal.

I think it worth mentioning some people are literally thought gated. While apm is how fast your hands move, there certainly are players who a. Are probably never going to reach a level where thinking about the game state is more important that these time saving tips and b. Are newer players that will eventually have the basics down to where they can implement these time saving tricks. You can hardly find a player in low elo consistently checking the minimap let alone incorporate these tricks into their gameplay. TLDR: This video should only target players above d1 or so (or whatever elo you think fundamentals are mastered).

there is any site i can found runes or matchup knowledge etc. for every champ ?

okey I understand so now am everey game at the start flash to be first on the lane XD

11:47 i think you should have used the reckless nexus fail back in spring season

I've always done the shopping technique intuitively.

but... u can just buy while going to the edge. if you're fast, when u get there u can just keep moving, if you're slow, you wouln't be able to buy anyway (cuz you would have left the store) and would have to go back (wasting time). conclusion: not worth it . Edit:. I mean, not worth it if you're not playing at worlds

16:15 i thought you could tp with 10 gold to spare? I knew this trick and always used 10 gold and never really had any issues.

6:38 that's why you buy swiftness instead of mobility

It's probably one of the hardest thing to master and will take a lot of time and practice just like playing with fog of war.

meanwhile half the people in my games are guarding the towers at level 1

And here im stuck worrying about my cs 🤣

True in League. True in life in general.

Finally, this vid is banger! Keep it up!

the same and opposite can be said about time management if a player is freezing you and can insta kill you... example: I love playing Yo'boy'Rick! I sometimes lose to Gator Shoes cause I'm not paying attention to his fury and lane over... I have TP and he is freezing... yeah, I'm not going to TP... I'm going to shame my ass back to lane bare foot :(

i do all of these XD look at anyone of my replays and i always try to minmax the time i was testing the refilable one and thought u cant undo after using it

Actually interesting and helpful video on this channel

"you're not gonna do this and instantly go 80% winrate" I mean I already hover 60-70% in ranked so maybe (tbf I haven't played ranked in a couple years?) lol

Its basically min-maxing your performance.

That is best skill capped guide

What's funny, even tho I'm iron, this is exactly what I needed. Brb in a month, about be gold or something

I have been doing that first tip for over a decade now... I thought it was just being neurotic 😂

So you are telling me little things add up, and you should optimize tempo just like any other skill like farming/trading etc? Crazy. Sarcasm off: it looks so obvious, yet so many players dont do it because they are lazy. So this video has its right to exist and hopefully opens the eyes of my future laners, when they waste 15 sec of tempo with a poor recall, slow shopping and a poor TP back to lane, costing me objectives I could have easily contested every 2nd game.

Its fun how people spam games in silver/gold and never improve. This channel is pure gold to learn basic and advanced stuff.

My team mates stay extra 30s to watch tiktoks, what kind of video do I have to send them to improve?

Your Graves thing could be put into "short" youtube / tik tok video.

If you want to start being more efficient start playing ADC. You'll force yourself

Thank You.

I would legit subscribe to skillcapped if they post a weekly video of Hector losing his fucking mind in low elo

Rip Dan❤️ we shoulda gave him his flowers while he was still here💐😔

I always flash to get into a safe recall range to save myself 1 or 2 seconds

And then I forgot to buy a control... _again_ And just noticed I built and bought towards Stormrazor instead of Statik Shivv And had to swap my trinket And the AD pot looked at me with lonely eyes And And And... Welcome to "Whose Elo is it anyway?" Where good teammates don't exist and the MMR is made up

Hell naaaah , i dont care enough about LoL!

Cus ezreal ult predict?

And at this point I’ll accept I’ll never be that good at leage my brain can not think of every little detail that would lead to a won team fight every single game

i do that all the time for years not bc pros do it just simply do it bc then i dont have to reclick to move again

hector i want to bear your children!

Hector is goated

I always take greedy recalls and get punished for it, nothing new here :D

6:35 what is he talking? blitz just used e for a minion xDD he just trolls

We need more guides when you just point out every misstake and like slightly insolt ppl like thith them mf and plating part 7:45

Good video! Gimme more!!!
