    I appreciate the attention given to the importance of priming and expectation. As someone who has also played a ton of fighting games, it always baffles me how many people don't understand that you must first know what's coming to actually be able to react. Most people think that it's some third eye activation and you need godlike reaction times for everything, when that is not true.

    • @KingNidhogg
      @KingNidhogg  7 месяцев назад +33

      yeah fakers a good example of someone who is misunderstood. as great as he is - we should be commending his ability to understand whats probably going to come at him as opposed to him dodging it like a beast. both are fantastic abilities but the one thats more important is his perma game sense.

    • @LitBoy420
      @LitBoy420 7 месяцев назад

      This was hard to understand for me, but made all the difference. If you don't know what's coming, it's way harder to react well with good reflexes than it is to be primed for what could happen.

    also, why do you turn off announcer + ping volume? announcer I can kinda see, but not hearing pings seems interesting, so I'm curious to the thought process

    • @zerotoxiciti3831
      @zerotoxiciti3831 7 месяцев назад +1

      I would assume, having played at the level he has for as long as he has, Erick has access to any information that pings might provide. He is generally acutely aware of the map so he'll notice pings, and in heated moments the only pings that really matter are the ones close to you. For the average player I'd imagine turning off ping sounds might be more of a loss than it would be for him.

    • @KingNidhogg
      @KingNidhogg  7 месяцев назад +3

      they fuck with audio cues and a lot of them are worthless. given that your team is good at pinging effectively it's ok to leave it on. i just turn it off cuz 99% of people spam ping/ping improperly. the ones that ping properly i can watch anyway and they're not on-demand ones that require the extra 50ms~ advantage that hearing gives

      ok update I tried muting pings and announcer and it felt like my focus went up so much, my macro decisions were my own, if I wanted information from my teammates I had to be using fkeys/panning map/looking at minimap to SEE the pings. crazy difference both in winning games and improving at the game

  • @The-eo4lj
    @The-eo4lj 7 месяцев назад +7

    Something that OFGSaiph drills into any higher elo player he coaches:
    Do NOT listen to music while playing if you are serious about winning, and turn off all the voices and random noise in the background, you only need effect sounds enabled.
    So for example, before Cass ults, you hear the scream, before Malp ults, you hear the roar, etc. If you have voices or music enabled, it's just extra distracting and makes it more difficult to hear.
    Pretty much exactly as you said, love the past few videos man, really great content

  • @breakingbadest9772
    @breakingbadest9772 7 месяцев назад +1

    Well my reaction time is 0.3 seconds ish, and im young and have been gaming a lot. I need to play mostly off of predictions which is very tiering so i actually win a lot more if i play 1-3 games a day, and climb faster too. 5+ games of constantly dodging by predicting the enemy is extremely difficult, dunno how these challengers are doing it.

  • @luruu7278
    @luruu7278 7 месяцев назад +3

    idk if this is just a me thing, but i do pay attention to voice lines when anticipating a dodge or other concepts too cause usually when I am focused on something else like csing or something else or in general not anticipating a dodge, that if i hear the sound of the ability but also the voiceline attached to it, i can narrow down the exact ability much faster. For example, draven e and q are pretty distinct sounds but when theres a teamfight i cant see the difference or even hear the ability sound due to the sound blending into each other in a teamfight and hearing the voice line lets me know draven q or draven e which primes me into focusing on that. Would u say dialogue volume would then be important in letting you know the situation of a different player?
    basically teamfight, cant see or hear draven q and e difference, dialogue lets me know which, makes me anticipate it faster than having to look more carefully at what every person on enemy team is doing, dialogue good?

    • @SiMeGamer
      @SiMeGamer 7 месяцев назад +1

      Basically just use settings that maximize your focus. I personally have everything on because I like to play video games as they were intended and I'm not going pro (I'm Master). So whatever makes you enjoy the experience the best, do it. If listening to voice lines helps you; use it. These videos are guides, not rules. Take the information and interpret it as best you can. Good luck on the rift!

  • @pepenakamoto3675
    @pepenakamoto3675 7 месяцев назад +5

    This guide format should be the RUclips Meta when it comes to providing useful insights on how to improve in this game. Understanding what your mental stack was in every small decision gives the viewer an inside-out understanding, not in a dogmatic, shallow, and over-conceptual way, but indeed an exercise in understanding and discipline in the game. It would be great to be able to watch more of these!

    "prime" content. i was preparing materials for making a video that touched this subject, only i included playing every champion to know what they can or cannot do and to be expecting what they want to do. no one does this, no coaching tells you this. instead gives a bunch of stuff to ponder over, which only comes after you can effectively pilot your character.

  • @GankAlpaca

      @mitradite 7 месяцев назад

      @@scint-nc9vd Exactly, and not only that, they also had tons of misinformation during the coaching, and used tactics that were the same as scammers.
      First of all, the guy starts off by trying to establish a personal connection, asking you questions about where are you from, etc. Following this, he asks a few scripted questions and opens up your account on mobalytics/blitz and starts judging how you are as a player by some stats on a site, that's so fucking bad and cringe.
      Emphasis is consistently placed on the fact that the offer he is giving me is unique, discounted and personalized just for me, despite that this guy doesn't even know how the fuck I play. He always liked repeating "only if you join our program". I've heard that 50 times during that session.
      After this, he shows you a PowerPoint of their "satisfied" clients with before and after accounts that are from different servers/fresh accounts, manipulated to deceive one's ranking. But the funniest thing is that the reviews he showed, most of them had the same writing scheme, as if the same person wrote them.
      In the entire session, he wasted 2 hours of your time to show you everything to make you not trust him, and the cherry on top was him trying to force you to pay 600$.
      He said that paying only 600$ is such a good offer because other coaches offer way more. That claim is the biggest misinformation ever. I can get a coach with actual credentials like Veigar v2 at less than their original price and I don't have to pay for 6 sessions, there are also many amateur-ish challenger coaches that make you pay 50$ for a session and sometimes even better offers at 30$.
      Cringe scammers.

    Like you said, if you're too busy focusing on your opponent, or in the middle of a fight and focusing on dodging- you might miss another laner disappearing for a roam, but hear the quick warning pings sent your way as your brain recognizes the sound
    Either way, sick content

      I'm actually surprised I found someone who is as knowledgeable as Saiph(Nidhogg), most high elo players seem to be just fake intellectuals who copy what other high elo players do without really thinking about it, meanwhile in the old League days, Saiph changed what's considered "META" multiple times, he's pretty good at theory-crafting regarding items
