Lol i said to myself "no way its something i do right" and as soon as he said lvl 4 too early i paused and took a moment of silence. Great vid bro thank you 😭
I can clearly see you care about breaking this down to players but prepare points you wanna talk about and subpoints you wanna touch on (with websites already open) cause this is way too chaotic, gl in future videos!
yeah im very new to content making and i dont have time to edit or write scripts these days so i keep trying to do it in one take. I honestly really appreciate the feedback and will apply it to future videos!
@@WaterParkTactics do you have the time to learn some basic editing? Not trying to be toxic, it's just a nifty skill to have nowadays, decently edited videos generally boost your viewership, which should be good marketing for your coaching.
holy shit. when he described his typical player he coaches it was me to the T. sat my ass down, subscribed, and listened. been clicking on so many of these tft vids to try and really find out why im hardstuck low emerald but this opened my third eye
vod review your games and figure out what you're doing wrong. If you're hardstuck low elo, you're missing out a lot on the fundamentals. Use tactic tools and make sure your builds and items are up to date and play comps with negative delta in them.
Great video To sum it up simply for everyone Try to get upgraded level 1 units early on (stay at level 3) longer and upgrade units to win streak Why? Because upgraded units have 50% more health & damage Traits aren't as important early game because you don't get 50% from traits early game. For example, two vanguard is around 30%~ health after 2 shields and 0% damage 50% damage & health is way better. Math is mathing Exceptions are eldrich & portal which summon an extra unit for you After that, focus on slamming good items like guinsoos Now your ready to win streak GL
Fantastic video and really opened up the early game and how the foundations are built for the later game. Really glad I found your channel as this is exactly the content Im looking for in order to understand TFT not just play a meta comp that I copy, game knowledge rather than set or patch knowledge seems to be hard to find and I’ve always wanted to get to grips with TFT itself. Thanks again and will be checking out all your videos
My peak is probably emerald right now and this was happening to me so much in the middle stages. This makes so much sense, such a good video. Only midly confusing at parts 😂
This is pure gold. I feel that 80% of your games you should play towards loss streak because you don't have the optimal board or itens for a specific comp. Therefore, you have more economy and carrousel prio. Btw, do you mind if I translate this video into Portuguese?
genuine gem after gem after gem. maybe its all stuff I needed to hear but I don't think I've sat and listened to a yt video this intently in a long time. joined the discord! please post more videos if you have more wisdom, see you in challenger soon o7
I'm a player who was introduced to this game by a buddy a while back. I am not new to LOL, but I haven't played it in about 10 years. I like how you broke things down and even though I had to rewatch a second time to fully understand some of the terminology, I think this video can be and has been very helpful. I don't mind you doing this kinda on the fly. It's more than a lot of people will do anyway. Thanks for helping me understand some of the theories I have heard mentioned in other videos.
I could watch several more videos of you rambling about this kind of stuff. I'm brand new to the game and this was very helpful info. Glad I stumbled on this.
Omg this is an amazing video tysm. There’s always so much conflicting info from the challenger players bc they all have their own styles of play! Like I’ve heard some say “level to 4 whenever possible” but I never really took the time to consider all my options. I’ll definitely apply this in my future games. Keep up the good work
Honestly this all comes down to being able to identify not only what your strongest board is but how it matches up to potential opponents boards. There’s no secret way to get past this besides just playing a ton of games and it often can change significantly patch to patch which makes it incredibly difficult for new/more casual players to be consistently right in their assessment.
i just started today before this vid to decide to be way more carefull with my lvl 4 push, i KNEW it was a fucking bait i took way too much. now im gonna watch the full vid but i'm hyped af gg men nice content
Very true. Players leveling up bacause they watched lots of steamers do the same thing while not understanding the reasons. Going 5 losing streak at stage 2 with semi econ hex and bad starting item is a opening more players need to learn. Building comps with frontline traits and damage traits is better than 4 support traits. Get a origin trait in there would be perfect. Try to start winning at 3-2, 3-3 is a good timing for me. Unless you are a high-leveled challenger, going for win-streaking after 10 losing streaks at 4 stage is too hard to execute. I'm struggling to stop bleeding at stage 4 with 3 cost units to fast 9 atm. I feel like early win-steaking followed with fast 9 is hard to execute, especially with charms in games.
Great video, having a reminder on how important first 2 stages are is so critical for setting up your game. Thanks a ton bro I'll keep an eye out for more quality vids in the future
On the beginning of the video you've mentioned many players have a good early but doesn't really know to transition to late game, thats exactly my problem, please make a video about it! xD great content btw, a little confusing but useful, thanks for the content
I’ve been a pretty consistent Plat to diamond player then past 6 sets. But unlike your student that say “my early game is fine”, its my biggest weakness. I can pivot easily, itemize with little issues and hit really hard. But whenever its reroll meta, I struggle so much. I just cannot understand how to stay playing with low cost units and my early game looks like win-lost-win-lost, where Im in position where I think im weak, but somehow wins rounds, or rounds where I think im strong and for some reason losses rounds. I do think I might need some coaching after watch this tbh
Nothing to take away from your rank or the video (my peak ever in tft was gm 4 sets ago) but the game has gotten so complex + math related (talking about stats on augments comps etc) that fundamental playing only gets you so far (as high emerald to lwo diamond nowadays). So even people like you who may lack 1 fundamental rule can either skyrocket or get stuck. I get it that it would be too stale of a game but its doesnt really matter how good you are strategicwise as long as you build an econ and play the best augment/comp to climb. YES above GM (challenger 700lp+ ) every aspect of the game is too important to pass but we ve gotten to a stage that set 2-3 diamonds are golds or even lower ! I guesss its too hard to balance rng + skill expression in a game and we should be happy with the amazing game we get. Food for thought I guess !
@@MetalJay96 I just played in set 10 on my own, not looking much on guides, I had like 1200 games in that set, it is actually impossible to play it without looking at some guides, you are right. It was tough journey. I only was able to push through to 400 LP EUNE back then.

If I can’t drop 1-2 carry items on someone before first carousel I immediately trade hp for gold until 3-2 and then dump into whatever is uncontested or whatever shows in shop most.
This isn’t a bad strategy and it’s often what I find myself doing in many games. I think what helped me to become more consistent was watching a few videos on tempo and letting that guide my game plan as well. This video helped with that tremendously ruclips.net/video/BQJ5jGdJgIk/видео.htmlsi=mpUqbsOGGcJNEaSg
im gratefull that i found this channel before u are big fish so i can keep ur wisdom in secret and use it while 99% of other players dont know you... im griddy >:). surely you are going to be big creator soon
very valuable information for me (forever 0lp masters here), good video questions ive always had 1. lets say i misjudged my spot at 2-1, i go 2/3 wins into a loss, what should be my next course of action? play for winstreak, play for loss streak, or play for econ intervals/not caring if i win or lose if i hit those? 2. lets say i judged my spot correctly for a 3 win streak, but can see that im likely to lose via scouting on 2-5. should i drop everything and play for loss streak/hit econ intervals even if im weaker? 3. is it true that the challenger mindset is,if you play for winstreak, (besides augments) the slammable items you slam most of the time will dictate what comp you'll play? (like lets say a chally slams rageblade, hes like "oh im 100% playing fast 9 kalista fiora here") 4. when going fast 8, is it correct to roll on 4-1? 5. when going fast 8, lets say i winstreaked to something weird like 3-1, then lost on 3-2. should i lean towards restarting my winstreak if i deem fit, or should i lean towards loss streaking to 4-2/4-5? thank you
1. Econ most important. Once you lost ur streak thats the only way you can recover and get a stronger board. 2. Items always dictate a comp you play. If you force Mages without rods or tears ur trolling. 3. You roll to preserve hp. If you see other people hit sone major power spikes and u gonna lose hp you should try to upgrade ur board. 4. If you dont know what to do just remember to not kill your econ. Like over rolling or over leveling. In mid game you play for winstreak if you high roll or lose streak for econ to guarante your power spike. You just have to scout the lobby all the time and decide whats the best long term decision right now. Like if someone has 3 cost 2* carry on stage 3 you're probably not gonna winstreak that stage. If there's a highroller with itemized Kalista 2* on stage 4 you're not winstreaking. Same if someone hyperrolled their Zoe Lilia and Poppy on 3-1. You are not winstreaking 3rd and 4th stage.
Heyo. Solid vid, loved the info. Something I'd recommend for a video of this style is just to have bullet points prepared. It'll help your presentation a lot and keep it concise. I find that people tend to learn better using the KISS method (keep it simple, stupid); instead of 20 points about a part of the topic, you focus in on say 3-5 that are explained. It doesn't have to be a pre-planned script MLM formatted or anything, but it helps remove the "Uhs" and "Ums" and such. Appreciate the vid nonetheless and I hope to see more. "Adapt to all situations" -- Wukong
10:57 : 5x for 1 damage is 5 but +5 for 1 damage is 6. You have 20% more power from a small +5 than a x5 even if the 5x will scale once you get another 5x. Then you're at 25 vs 11. But a second 5x doesn't matter if you never reach it.
I started playing like 2 weeks ago and the thing i love in this game is that if ure smart you can clearly push to master u dont need to be gifted u just need to be smart
This might be specific but is there any chance you can make a video about how to play out a 4-2 roll down for a 4cost board into a level 9 first? (In terms of when you should level, roll, gold intervals, etc.)
I'm the opposite extreme, I tend to not level early on and basically always lose streak early because I value econ and first pick at carousel more than health. I actually tend to decide whether I'll continue to play conservative or want to go aggressive after krugs.
great video, but please try to order your thoughts and general points before getting into the video, you spend too much time thinking and organizing your thoughts and making sentences.
i think an important general thing is that ALL items are essentially multiplicative, and whether or not an item is good or bad is based on their raw stats in comparison to eachother (rabadons vs jg) and if its a changing thing based thing how much value you can get star level multiples the base one star unit, cost dictate another power structure the biggest thing with items is additive vs multiplicative modifiers, where you always want to spread horizontally to multiplicative modifiers (ad/ap, atkspd, mana, damage amp, crit) - and keeping in mind what traits give - of course dont trust that items are balanced, just a general rule of thumb note the issue with ie isnt that its multiplicative, because db is also multiplicative, its that its power is in ability crit , where it makes abilities do 1.24*1.35=1.08*1.55 sane amount of extra damage as deathblade whike autos are only 1.52ish (calculated from 1.24*1.35/1.1 where 1.1 is autos crit) so ie , like jg, only good on units that already gave a lot of ad mult and damage amp (assuming that ability loaded power is similar
11:21 If we do that math right away, it's like.. 5+5 will always be 10. That's the flat part of it. And the multiplicative is 5x5. Early on, 5x1 is only 5, meaning the 5+5 is better. Later on, it's 5x2 compared to the 5+5. Now they're equal. And then later, it's 5x3, which is better.
When people were justifying cho reroll for mythics in the previous patch, they used the term “stat check” a lot. I am a bit against the separation of items into flat and scaling, because all items technically increase stats by a percentage, but i think people forget that starring up a unit is literally multiplying them by ~3 + their ability upgrades too, and even inappropriate items can scale better on the wrong 2star unit than selling it for a 1 star 3-cost for example. People understand effective health but effective damage is not a term i’ve heard anyone mention despite being almost the same thing/more important when talking about early game success because you cant just roll over people with beefy tanks without like slamming sunfire cape
2:20 this isn't really true for Valorant either since you have to manage your econ. If you lose the first round, you dont have any creds so youre expected to lose the second. What happens in previous rounds is very important in Valorant.
So I blindly got into the habit to just slam items, because I should minimize hp loss and just play for whatever board matches my items. But after watching your videos, a question popped up in my head. If you can identify that you're going to lose streak, do you just not slam items? Or do you slam strong items in order to still prevent HP?
yeah dont slam items if you're lose streaking. Half the benefit of lose streaking is getting to have perfect items while winstreakers are forced to slam suboptimal items just to keep their streak. You can still slam items that you're going to make later on anyways like Spark/Shiv if you know you're already playing AP somehow (ex. you took Magic Wand augment).
thats because if you don't give units star levels it assumes the unit is a 2* unit on that website. So obv that would make the bottom board much stronger if it was fully leveled up lol which supports my argument that leveled units are more important. and I know this to be true because I actually work for the site and its what the devs told me.
Obviously not a polished video, but who the f cares? The information was great. All this early game optimization and direction is something I forgot that I haven’t been doing since I started playing casual for the past three seasons. Thanks for the video.
Good info. The biggest improvenet you can do is to structure your video. I bet you will talk more fluent and we as viewers wont loose ourselves in chaos
I kinda disagree with your point on lobby emphasis. Scouting other boards for strength, their augment selections, and a starting assumption on how others may want to play out stage 2, etc should be analyzed in conjunction with your own possible board strength. Lobby strength will definitely affect your personal decisions even as soon as picking augments on 2-1. Some augments that favor win streaks but may not provide combat value such as spoils of war and escort quest may not be clickable after a glance at the rest of lobby! Scouting boards and figuring out best boards with in reason are habits that push the limits of all tft players, new or experienced. Overall cool video tho, hope to see more insightful content!
I dont think scouting the lobby is something you should avoid. In fact once you get good enough to do everything above it, you should always be scouting. What im trying to emphasis is that 90% of my students dont even look at their board before scouting everyone else. If you have a good idea of what your board is, then you have a baseline to compare against the lobby. If you dont and scout, you're just going to get really dizzy LOL.
Hey guys! You should maybe do a reminder on discord that you have a yt chanel and people should subscribe, i have been part of the discord group for almost a year and came across this video randomly, never knew there was a channel. Great video! (Not the most active member of the dc)
"Coach" and "student" seems like a proper business huh? You just teach people to play game dude no need to charge them. Just shut down the game and learn how to do a proper video. Or go outside and get a job that actually pay
I do it for free every week on Saturday using hrs of my own time. Why are you complaining? You're not paying for this video. Its free. You're clearly insecure and angry about something going on in your life and this is the only way you know how to take it out. You should talk with your close friends about this or if you don't have any go seek a therapist. With how fragile your ego is, the above comment probably will seem like an ad hominem attack but it's just advice and you should really look within on why this bothers you. Cheers!

Great video
To sum it up simply for everyone
Try to get upgraded level 1 units early on (stay at level 3) longer and upgrade units to win streak
Why?
Because upgraded units have 50% more health & damage
Traits aren't as important early game because you don't get 50% from traits early game.
For example, two vanguard is around 30%~ health after 2 shields and 0% damage
50% damage & health is way better.
Math is mathing
Exceptions are eldrich & portal which summon an extra unit for you
After that, focus on slamming good items like guinsoos
Now your ready to win streak

great video, but please try to order your thoughts and general points before getting into the video, you spend too much time thinking and organizing your thoughts and making sentences.
Thanks for the video, very informative! I wanna ask what do you do when you dont have any kind of streak in the early game?
D/M since S1, still learned smth. Good content, soldier on
i think an important general thing is that ALL items are essentially multiplicative, and whether or not an item is good or bad is based on their raw stats in comparison to eachother (rabadons vs jg) and if its a changing thing based thing how much value you can get
star level multiples the base one star unit, cost dictate another power structure
the biggest thing with items is additive vs multiplicative modifiers, where you always want to spread horizontally to multiplicative modifiers (ad/ap, atkspd, mana, damage amp, crit) - and keeping in mind what traits give - of course dont trust that items are balanced, just a general rule of thumb
note the issue with ie isnt that its multiplicative, because db is also multiplicative, its that its power is in ability crit , where it makes abilities do 1.24*1.35=1.08*1.55 sane amount of extra damage as deathblade whike autos are only 1.52ish (calculated from 1.24*1.35/1.1 where 1.1 is autos crit)
so ie , like jg, only good on units that already gave a lot of ad mult and damage amp (assuming that ability loaded power is similar
great vid tho! i noticed although before i didnt auto level, i do now and encounter the win lose win … problem :)
subbed... thank you for the tips! Can't wait to check out the rest of your stuff :)
11:21 If we do that math right away, it's like.. 5+5 will always be 10. That's the flat part of it. And the multiplicative is 5x5. Early on, 5x1 is only 5, meaning the 5+5 is better. Later on, it's 5x2 compared to the 5+5. Now they're equal. And then later, it's 5x3, which is better.
So you talked a lot about slaming offensive items early but what about defensive ones? Feels like right now tank Items are pretty strong too.
When people were justifying cho reroll for mythics in the previous patch, they used the term “stat check” a lot. I am a bit against the separation of items into flat and scaling, because all items technically increase stats by a percentage, but i think people forget that starring up a unit is literally multiplying them by ~3 + their ability upgrades too, and even inappropriate items can scale better on the wrong 2star unit than selling it for a 1 star 3-cost for example. People understand effective health but effective damage is not a term i’ve heard anyone mention despite being almost the same thing/more important when talking about early game success because you cant just roll over people with beefy tanks without like slamming sunfire cape
uh hp is mult by 1.8 damage mult 1.5 for extra star level
My biggest problem is consistency. Either rolling too low, or rerolling too long
ive hit diamond multiple sets and this vid was still informative, very well made

I think it also makes more sense to wait on level 4 so that you have a decent chance at polymorphism a 1 cost 2 or 3 star.. is that correct?
generally you dont roll to save econ, so you are only seeing 1 possible charm to polymorph
what is your suggestion when not hitting anything stage 2? Hold a bench full of pairs or go max econ and roll a bit on lvl 5/6?
2:20 this isn't really true for Valorant either since you have to manage your econ. If you lose the first round, you dont have any creds so youre expected to lose the second. What happens in previous rounds is very important in Valorant.
High quality tft content. Thanks
So I blindly got into the habit to just slam items, because I should minimize hp loss and just play for whatever board matches my items. But after watching your videos, a question popped up in my head. If you can identify that you're going to lose streak, do you just not slam items? Or do you slam strong items in order to still prevent HP?
yeah dont slam items if you're lose streaking. Half the benefit of lose streaking is getting to have perfect items while winstreakers are forced to slam suboptimal items just to keep their streak. You can still slam items that you're going to make later on anyways like Spark/Shiv if you know you're already playing AP somehow (ex. you took Magic Wand augment).
I am so glad that I very rarely level to 4 on my own.
+5 or x5; L1 vs L10.
1+5=6 1 x 5=5
10+5=15 10 x 5=50
Me being master's, automatically leveling to 4 every game, something's you don't even realize by yourself, thanks for the vid!
Great advice, brotherman! With your advice i might be able to break my peak of diamond
Good stuff. Thanks for this.
holy shit, if i were to get coaching i think i would say pretty much exactly when you said at 3:20ish. damn
you are very insightful and passionate, you've opened my eyes. but you need to explain it to me like i am stupid (i am stupid)
Just to give you a heads up, it says you have a 98.3% win chance while saying the comp is weaker lol. Still your point makes sense and great content.
thats because if you don't give units star levels it assumes the unit is a 2* unit on that website. So obv that would make the bottom board much stronger if it was fully leveled up lol which supports my argument that leveled units are more important.
and I know this to be true because I actually work for the site and its what the devs told me.
LOVED THE VIDEO, GREAT INSIGHT, JUST THINK YOUR EDITOR COULD PUT YOU IN FULLSCREEN WHILE YOU MAKE THE INTROS.
My most mistake is about panic leveling I can’t read can I win next round or not ? then I leveling to 9 or 10 for nothing and lose.
I do that too.. not so much panic level, but force leveling to activate the next step of a trait
very informative, thank you
which browser are you using?
your content is god but please never use a white board (google docs on white) on 95% of your screen because your video on night is a nightmare :(
XD SORRY. I will remember that.
I’m masters + and I do this lol, thanks for the video always good man
its something ive been doing less so im happy about that but I definitely still make plenty of mistakes such as this
1:14 Here is the thing that you want to hear
Obviously not a polished video, but who the f cares? The information was great.
All this early game optimization and direction is something I forgot that I haven’t been doing since I started playing casual for the past three seasons.
Thanks for the video.
this was helpful ty
2 years of playing...and im always stuck at bronze😅
Good info. The biggest improvenet you can do is to structure your video. I bet you will talk more fluent and we as viewers wont loose ourselves in chaos
Hello, my issue is econ.Is there a way to improve this?
just subbed for some free coaching sesh, thanks my boi
I recommend watching this video at 1.25x speed to reduce the delay in between sentences.
I kinda disagree with your point on lobby emphasis. Scouting other boards for strength, their augment selections, and a starting assumption on how others may want to play out stage 2, etc should be analyzed in conjunction with your own possible board strength. Lobby strength will definitely affect your personal decisions even as soon as picking augments on 2-1. Some augments that favor win streaks but may not provide combat value such as spoils of war and escort quest may not be clickable after a glance at the rest of lobby! Scouting boards and figuring out best boards with in reason are habits that push the limits of all tft players, new or experienced. Overall cool video tho, hope to see more insightful content!
I dont think scouting the lobby is something you should avoid. In fact once you get good enough to do everything above it, you should always be scouting. What im trying to emphasis is that 90% of my students dont even look at their board before scouting everyone else.
If you have a good idea of what your board is, then you have a baseline to compare against the lobby. If you dont and scout, you're just going to get really dizzy LOL.
Then theres me who is silver and doesnt level at all until I have 50 gold 😂
I thrive in the chaos

Great video
ive been hardstuck masters and ive been doing this fuck me
Thia video is amazing!
I wish dude wasn't so redundant... Although it's clear he knows his shit, he truly isn't the most eloquent individual out there.
MAKE UR OWN DAMN VIDEOS THEN.
Hey guys! You should maybe do a reminder on discord that you have a yt chanel and people should subscribe, i have been part of the discord group for almost a year and came across this video randomly, never knew there was a channel. Great video! (Not the most active member of the dc)
Just curious, what is your highest rank peak ?

Man this is rough...stick to making pdfs, lil bro is too nervous
"Coach" and "student" seems like a proper business huh? You just teach people to play game dude no need to charge them. Just shut down the game and learn how to do a proper video. Or go outside and get a job that actually pay
I do it for free every week on Saturday using hrs of my own time.
Why are you complaining? You're not paying for this video. Its free.
You're clearly insecure and angry about something going on in your life and this is the only way you know how to take it out. You should talk with your close friends about this or if you don't have any go seek a therapist.
With how fragile your ego is, the above comment probably will seem like an ad hominem attack but it's just advice and you should really look within on why this bothers you.
Cheers!
