9:19 the explanation of how holding back your abilities directly resulted in you getting more autos off which got the kill is actually really great learning, this combined with the MLA review as well I feel like has greatly cemented this concept for me. Thank you as always for your high quality educational content ! `u`
Very well said, I was thinking the exact same thing. It helped me really understand better and my brain had something to genuinely visualized and associate with that logic.
Hello, thank u for such a content. I’m an Ahri OTP that started iron s14 and now I’m low gold, so I’m happy I’ll be able to learn further and maybe see how my gameplay differs from yours.
hi shok, i used to be masters but since the last rank reset i've been losing pretty hard around low emerald. i just started watching your videos and i just reached diamond again. thank you so much!!
I am currently hardstuck in emerald my previous season rank is master. So now im trying to identify why im stuck in emerald. So now im watching your fundamental vids to improve myself.
at 4:00, you talk about good reset, why not cash in there with the 1500 gold and TP back to punish, or will it set you back tempo since he'll be on a bigger buy with a wave pushed in if he just TPs after yours? What should the Hwei have done to keep you in lane, posture aggressively and force the trades?
Do you mean not cash in with the 1200gold and base earlier? Not sure I'm understanding properly that part. And yeah the Hwei just needs to try position more aggressively and try and force trades or at least deny me access to the wave
Hi, I recently watched your itemization video that is a few months old. Could you please tell me why you went magic pen boots here and lich bane second? From my understanding, you weren't the only ap champ in your team and buying those shoes would only help you snowball harder at that given time of the match. I'm asking about Lich Bane 'cause I don't see it often anymore on Ahri.
boots got nerfed hard and mercs doesnt have the high value it once had anymore, sorcs is the most decent of the overall for ahri. plus they werent building mr
Pretty much what julius said, I almost always go sorcs now just cause the other boots suck so much :( Lich bane is really good on Ahri if you're ahead and can auto a lot because you have low CDs + multiple ult charges and high mobility so can easily deal pretty good damage
Focus on harassing with autos, really important you dodge E2, if he misses E2 you can deal a lot of dmg on the way out. Try save E defensively and you should be ok
Hello shok, you're an amazing player with great teaching skills, so it always interesting and engaging to watch your contet. But i have a little specific question about one of my recent games. I was playing hwei vs akali, so, first grubs spawned and my lvl 5 kayn with no prior vision setup went for them. I got outpushed a little so when waves reset and akali didnt show up it was to late to even ping my kayn, she eventually got solo kill on him and i took reasonable flame for that, i was playing blue side so she took a long way which i thought was for a vision setup. I couldn't really commit to following her, even if i knew she would go for it because her potential at isolated 1v1 with lvl 6 is crazy, how do i prevent that?
Hard to say without seeing the exact scenario but ideally you either find a way to get more prio (play lane better, or be on the wave earlier), or have vision setup on your junglers side earlier so he sees Akali. Otherwise if you can't do those things he might just be dead and there's not much you can do
Sorry if you've already mentioned elsewhere, but what runepage do you run? I know you mentioned sorcery and precision being strong but I'm not super familiar with which minor runes are op.
Hey Shok, amazing video & super helpful content, I'm a Kat OTP stuck in bronze & silver and I was wondering if the concept of holding your abilities until the opponent has wasted theirs so that you don't get punished applies to Katarina as well being that it's a very unique champion
Great instructional content as always. One question though, you said generally we should keep the lane perpetually pushing. Does that mean that it'd also be harder for your jungler to gank for you? I tended to assume that the wave was optimal if frozen near your turret, unless things were happening on the map?
Yes it does, you can opt to keep the wave in the middle when your jungler is looking for a gank or when you get a lead and can extend it by keeping it frozen/in the middle
i know he's not going to be high on the priority list but im having a lot of fun with him, can we get a Fizz vid of this type? fun champ, good assassin for beginners id say
Can orianna and syndra take me to diamond from platinum especially going through emerald? Or is that a lot harder than climbing with ahri or other champs?
when should I make roams? I feel like laning phases are easy but I cannot open it to the map, usually I win games by winning lane hard and winning a team fight later without roaming.
imo just always aery + precision atm, the minor runes are too strong. I think arcane comet on ahri is FAKE NEWS, it's too hard to guarantee consistently
Is there any chance you can show an example where your whole team is losing while playing Ahri? I can only seem to win on her if I have at least one good teammate. I feel I lack damage to 1v9
Unfortunately you tank the L and move on because you got a bad hand this game, but you're less likely to have this happen on your team because you yourself won't be AFK or trolling - it's not a great answer but it happens to everyone, so don't waste too much mental energy trying to problem solve it. There are just some games you can't win and that's fine, over the course of a season any bad luck will even out
Another great video! But I would like to see other mages than Orianna, Syndra and Ahri. Could you please show some gameplay of the other champions (preferably artillery mages)?

Keep it up homie I'll see you in plat soon!
I completely forgot you had a Karma until endgame recap. Love the format. Great job dad
You are 1 of 1 when it comes to this content for the midlane and definitely deserve more attention for the quality of these vids. Keep it up!
The timing of this guide is perfect. I'm an OTP Ahri struggling in Low Master and I hope this will help me at least reaching GM. Thank you, chief c':
We're all gonna make it brah
hi shok, i used to be masters but since the last rank reset i've been losing pretty hard around low emerald. i just started watching your videos and i just reached diamond again. thank you so much!!
We're fkn BACK
this was genuinely a great summary of midlane basics
great vid for sure
Super excited for this series! Amazing content as always. It would mean the world if you throw an educational Zed game in there somewhere :)
Otp'ing Ahri this split I needed this
Hell yeah more to come!
I am currently hardstuck in emerald my previous season rank is master. So now im trying to identify why im stuck in emerald. So now im watching your fundamental vids to improve myself.
NEW SERIES POGGG
i just said i would love to see some ahri on the last video, awesome
As a bronze midlaner this is exactly what I needed lol. Would love to see a Vex, Fizz or Galio example
Vex is coming next!

At 7:20 why do you go for blasting wand instead of sorc shoes? Wouldn't the extra movement speed help with impacting the map?
Sorcs is definitely the bigger immediate spike but I value completing the 1st item earlier more

WE SO BACK
how to deal with sylas as ahri early game?
Focus on harassing with autos, really important you dodge E2, if he misses E2 you can deal a lot of dmg on the way out. Try save E defensively and you should be ok

Music abit too loud in the intro, excited for the series! keep at it shok!
I'll pass on the feedback!
@@ShokLeague banger regardless
Shok startin a series with my main ❤ lets gooo
Ahri is so good rn so I'll definitely be playing her more!
Sorry if you've already mentioned elsewhere, but what runepage do you run? I know you mentioned sorcery and precision being strong but I'm not super familiar with which minor runes are op.
Typically aery with manaflow transcendence scorch + cutdown and legend haste
I was waiting for this
i dont suppose there is any chance u play a game of jayce for this series. Love that the series is back.
I might do, I think I played one in my last series if you haven't seen it
Hey Shok, amazing video & super helpful content, I'm a Kat OTP stuck in bronze & silver and I was wondering if the concept of holding your abilities until the opponent has wasted theirs so that you don't get punished applies to Katarina as well being that it's a very unique champion
It's less important for champs without skillshots because they have nothing really to dodge
Great instructional content as always.
One question though, you said generally we should keep the lane perpetually pushing. Does that mean that it'd also be harder for your jungler to gank for you? I tended to assume that the wave was optimal if frozen near your turret, unless things were happening on the map?
I’m pisslow elo, but I think it’s against Hwei specific - he have very high waveclear with QE, we should match the push to not be poked under turret
Yes it does, you can opt to keep the wave in the middle when your jungler is looking for a gank or when you get a lead and can extend it by keeping it frozen/in the middle
i know he's not going to be high on the priority list but im having a lot of fun with him, can we get a Fizz vid of this type? fun champ, good assassin for beginners id say
Not a champ I play much tbh so it's unlikely
Yay new video!
Can orianna and syndra take me to diamond from platinum especially going through emerald? Or is that a lot harder than climbing with ahri or other champs?
You can definitely climb with these yes, they might be a little harder but not insanely so
when should I make roams? I feel like laning phases are easy but I cannot open it to the map, usually I win games by winning lane hard and winning a team fight later without roaming.
I have 2 videos, one is a roaming guide and the other is a priority usage guide. Those will tell you everything you need to know
when to take S.A and when take electric? and some ppl take arcane comet can you explain that
imo just always aery + precision atm, the minor runes are too strong. I think arcane comet on ahri is FAKE NEWS, it's too hard to guarantee consistently
NICE Video, love your content =)
Is there any chance you can show an example where your whole team is losing while playing Ahri? I can only seem to win on her if I have at least one good teammate. I feel I lack damage to 1v9
There might be some in my previous series but if I get a game like that I'll upload it!
what do you do when you get an AFK top or a trolling team mate ?
Unfortunately you tank the L and move on because you got a bad hand this game, but you're less likely to have this happen on your team because you yourself won't be AFK or trolling - it's not a great answer but it happens to everyone, so don't waste too much mental energy trying to problem solve it. There are just some games you can't win and that's fine, over the course of a season any bad luck will even out
I have a game pretty soon with a trolling teammate (a swain game), realistically though you'll just lose most of the time sadly :/
Can you play 1 Anivia game on this series, please? Thanks, i love your content!
Maybe if it's a really good game for it but I don't really play her
7:00 no way mundo in low elo would go for mid to keep u on top and have a kill
Another great video! But I would like to see other mages than Orianna, Syndra and Ahri. Could you please show some gameplay of the other champions (preferably artillery mages)?
I will try play a different champ each game
@@ShokLeague Cool, thank you for the great answer :D!
please Shok do one wiith Zoe
Perfect
Just like you
Dang Shok looks like a mafia drug lord hahah
LOL cleaning up the platinum streets..
after 6:23 It just does not exist let's be real XD
