Alexis is fantastic, She just need to work on communication, map awareness, laning, vision control, csing, poking, landing skillshots, objective control, early game, mid game, late game, ganking, and getting kills.
Nah, what she needs is better teammates I mean that Teemo inited into Yone too hard if you ask me. Alex's would of stand a chance without Teemo giving kills to Yone
Given the circumstances I think Alexis did pretty well. Could someone who was not 8% winrate in Iron carry the game? Maybe, but not guaranteed with her team being so minus. At least she's playing the game instead of sitting and losing passively.
They had absolutely 0 impact on the game, what are you saying? She had no pressure, no proactive plays, never started anything, nada. Just sits in lane and farms minions and then arrives to the play 1 minute too late. If you have fun like that then go for it, but lets not pretend like they did anything
@@obvioustrash7833 I mean, I would hardly call her a detriment to the team in this game. Like if you switched Yone and Annie in this game, red team still wins. That does indicate a player that should probably be closer to 40% winrate rather than 8%.
@Maiwa-wk9yhNot even really cope. There is a percentage of your games that you will pretty much auto win or auto lose unless your either turbo feeding or just way better than the other team and hard carry. It’s the percentage of games in between that’s the determine if your are gonna have a 60% winrate and climb or 40% winrate and drop. This game the Annie didn’t turbo feed for the standards of the rank he’s in. He would of had to hard carry to win that game.
Its obvious Alexis has practiced some of the basics here. She's got potential. Where she seems to need help is in game sense - where to go, who to fight. How to handle skirmishes. Indecision can ruin spacing and advantageous collapses. This is harder than it looks because Annie is "simple to execute" and very hard to master and punishes bad/no decision. Annie is a total noob trap. Annie has to be in the right spot at the right time to be effective, and otherwise has little agency. I'd suggest watching mid elo Annie's to see how they handle lane trades and skirmishes for advantageous collapses. High elo - is too coordinated for an Iron reference point. I literally mean Silver or Gold Maybe our Hero likes Annie a lot. I would suggest trying other midlaners that have some pick potential and/or mobility or at least bigger range. Not a mid laner myself so I can't realky make suggestions here. Seeing enemies repeatedly outrun Annie on a sliver of health was painful. She literally doesn't have the same "BS" potential they do. I would know. I play Chogath lmao Anyway. If Alexis sees this, I hope it helps. Good luck over there. o7
Don't disregard the church of Annie. There are hilarious coaching session from LS with Annie one is called recommended for gold/silver and the other one is a session with bwipo absolutely destroying with her.
'This is harder than it looks because Annie is "simple to execute" and very hard to master and punishes bad/no decision.' I get what you're saying, but I don't think it's true to call Annie "very hard to master". Many of the decision making flaws present here are those which would be punished regardless of champion choice. I would moreso say that the game is hard to master, and punishes bad/no decision, even if your champion is simple to execute (like Annie). Annie is a pretty solid champ for new players because she puts training wheels on some important skills-such as her long last-hit windows, relatively simple skillshots, simple mana management, and clear conditions for trade pressure-that usually require a lot of focus for a new player. What makes her 'better' than some other "training wheels champs" is that she makes things somewhat simpler, but often not in a way that makes it harder to recognize your mistakes. For example, the punishment for managing your mana poorly is quite obvious, since wasteful trades will still deplete her mana pool very quickly. Another example would be how there is a very obvious trade-off between using your skills on the wave vs holding them for pressure, since you feel very clearly weaker when depleting her passive stacks or when your W is on cooldown for the burst. Annie does have her nuances, and I'd agree that she requires more understanding to master than the average giga-noobie champ, but I'd just rethink calling her a noob-trap.
@@Bratanity Our protagonist has so many icons to choose from Knight Chovy all are Annie players in fact as Syndra main I watched a lot of Knight where to use and how to be effective trading and farming safely
@@Snoui Yup mana usage is so key as mage player till you start stacking tear so effective trading is vital and I generally don't like to trade aggressively unless my jungler is nearby and ready for a gank. I like to keep the lane neutral so I don't get punished for over extending. If my mid is roaming then I play towards my jungler if he is ganking a lane I follow him otherwise I rely on TP.
trueeee i need to be more carfull with my mana usage... but yes thank you ive been working very hard on learning how to cs and trade! those are the two main things im working on right now :)
emerald is basically full of boosted people, they boost themselves to diamond/ Buy a diamond account, and then fall back to emerald back again, in emerald, with like %70 chance, you are playing with people that are gonna fall from emerald in a week or stay emerald for the rest of their lives, as a guy that's been playing league for 5 years, i just couldnt climb due to my team. You just cant do anything about it really. And if you can ever get close to diamond the game will simply put you in a losersque so you lose like 150-200 lp in the blink of an eye.
@@captainobvious8037 not really, my map awareness, overall matchup knowledge, dodge skills, mechanics and everything is clearly above the people the game was putting me with. As i said, its called losersque, one day you are playing with competent smurfs, you go 8 winstreak, the other day you are playing with noodle heads that doesnt even know when to do baron and when to do not.
I mean Annie counters Yone, the issue is she never played around her passive. There were so many times she walked up with 0 stacks of passive and got jumped on, you just have to be extremely careful and only approach the wave if you know you can stun Yone
my one bit of advice for the annie is to play arams, and unlock/ try out every champion - this will help when you verse every matchup knowing what the enemy will do, and how much space to create. she often was mispositioned when enemies were on her screen
@@haiimcookie good on you for throwing yourself out there, I don't think many people have the stones for this. My bit of advice, based on this video alone ofc, is to watch your stun timer, and to try to have your stun prepped BEFORE you move either into lane or into a gank. Your stun is where your pressure comes from, without it you'll lose most trades. Generalized, I think it would be something like this: remember your champion's kit, and know it's strengths and weaknesses. And a good/fun way to figure that out is, as our friendly running slab of meat already suggested, to play arams! Short games, lots of action! Wishing you the best of luck ^^
@@haiimcookie X2 for all, learning the champions is a good start (and Aram's the place for it), you had your distance after Yone got an advantage (a good strategic choice) but still ended up a free kill from his E a lot of times like if you didn't know he could do that. It may also help in practicing skill shots like some recommended since is *really* hard to miss Annie ult, being an instant AoE.
Bois, she's climbed to 38%! She seems to play Lux and Annie. I think if someone coached her to basically ignore the enemy champion as much as safely possible, farm 7+ cs/m, and how to manage waves, it'd be enough for her to climb out on it's own. She has some games where she gets kills and carries with a good deeplol score, and others where she doesn't, but consistently her farm is pretty low
I see potential, she was close to getting kills a lot of times. If she learns Annie’s combos I could see her going up in winrate. Would also be easier than other stuff to learn.
I wish Cpt. Flowers casted every high-profile League game. The dude literally has me yelling at the TV and cheering the game on. Other casters just don't have it for me.
once our hero Alexis has gotten the basics down she should honestly just start over with a new account, she’s never getting out of Iron with that MMR until she’s at least above Gold skill imo
Alexis is amazingly bad, but there's so many things they will learn as they continue to play. One of NAs new top viewed players for sure. Everyone hype to see this journey.
You can make a low rank game into a really good match to watch Or you can make a high pro play into a really boring match to not watch. That's what shoutcasters do :) High pro play doesn't mean it's always interesting or if it's a low rank match doesn't also mean it's too boring.
I actually dont think this can be iron man. There are so many small things that make me believe some of them are either smurfs or higher ranks (like low gold maybe?) An example is at 8:30. Just look at VI, I dont think an actual Iron would Q back with 100 hp to get the knockback and the passive shield. An iron would most have most likely just Q for distance in the other direction
Flowers, no joke: reach out to Caedrel. Perhaps you can set up and cast some games together as color + pbp, and make a series out of this. I suspect it would be very popular. Maybe even cast some streamer tournaments.
I saw your post on this thread so its fun to finally see this lol. But don't rotate for a bad fight its better to make the correct play for yourself on avg over many games
Damn, iron is way better than I thought then cuz or that Yone was an Smurf. Still 8% but still has the fighting spirit that gets nothing but the respect from me o7
I’m personally not a fan of Annie for beginners. I understand that mechanically she’s not difficult to understand, but she relies on her team quiet a bit to either set her up or follow her up. It creates bad habits for understanding when to take a fight. Choosing a champion that may be harder but has more individual agency is probably the way to go.
"this teemo is a war criminal" i was under the impression that being a war criminal comes included with playing teemo
Wanted to like but then saw the 666
Its more like the possibility of being one under the right conditions when u play teemo mainly
You gotta use the right skin though
As a Teemo main, can confirm.
Being a psychopathic war criminal is the way to play Teemo
Alexis is fantastic, She just need to work on communication, map awareness, laning, vision control, csing, poking, landing skillshots, objective control, early game, mid game, late game, ganking, and getting kills.
She's nearly there
lollll everything basically 😂
don't forget wave manipulation
Nah, what she needs is better teammates I mean that Teemo inited into Yone too hard if you ask me. Alex's would of stand a chance without Teemo giving kills to Yone
@CoolzTR stay iron bro
The Samson joke - "His hair ain't cut, he's looking to kick butt, it's Samson" lol
imagine playing this game as a new player just to end up with 8% winrate in iron 4. what an amazing experience
It is obvious that league is not newbie friendly at all
dont start into ranked as soon as your lvl 30 simple as that learn the games basics first

Honestly iron 4 looks waaaay better than I assumed. That's recognizably League of Legends! The under-turret farming?!
tell me about it- that teemo vs shyvana top lane really sold me!!
@@HardstuckIronAlaynac ive seen worse matchups in high elo
iron 4 is full of silver/bronze players that intentionally went that low, so the quality isnt what you'd expect of the bottom of the barrel.
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised. I honestly expected to be screaming at my monitor but it was quite okay.
you should watch SaltyTeemo games on twitch, permastreaming iron games 24/7, you see some magic.
8:53 "It's just a nepotism job my dad's the general." Is the funniest shit I've heard all week thanks man!
Teemo is ride or die. fk those minions
I haven't seen my toplaners in the last 3 games, yet this teemo perma helps out in botlane. What a legend

eh. she was not doing better than her team. she clearly didnt know how to position or play against a yone. Fed them easy kills the whole game.

Emerald players don't know how to play against Yone.

"blitz crank just bought a titanic hydra". Enough said.

Step 1) buy titanic
Step 2) E
Step 3) titanic
Step 4) ???
Step 5) profit

Justice for Zeri!! That Rakan was horrid
I was so frustrated he doesn't know that he can jump to allies! Or he used it right before going in for some reason... 🤷
Well Zeri was horrendous too...
