Everything Ludwig was taught u can search up on YT. Not only did he put in the effort to actually learn and pay attention to his mistakes and get better, he put in the time and effort to actually achieve his goal. It's not easy to do, mentally as well. Very much deserved support from T1 and good job to him for recognizing that
@@MrWendrewwe're praising him because the amount of time he put in vs the result was impressive, plenty of people have more games than him in a season and have been playing for literally a decade and still can't hit plat
You're mostly right but live coaching is not the same as watching a youtube video. I mean surely we can all agree on that. I'm not saying that to discredit the achievement, I couldn't care less, but don't just lie in your argument. It takes away the validity of it
@mrfahrenheit677 u may be right but I haven't gotten live coaching myself so idk how different it is, esp from coaches at their level but idk I feel like if the vid goes into good enough detail and goes through various example situations and explains what to do and what not to do then it would be pretty close
I think Ludwig heavily underestimated the time he put in. Most of his games were going >40 mins + queue, drafts and coaching on top. Not to mention the league content every night
100%, games at bronze/silver rank are generally longer than most other ranks because ending the game is a skill you need to learn, he definitely had more game time than he thinks.
It's quite funny how people try to downplay Lud's achievement, looking for any sort of excuse just to make his achievement look worse than it actually is. This is why LoL isn't getting constant new and returning players - the toxic part of the community gatekeeps such players from liking or sticking to League.
They disregard how he climb from IRON. He got coached but he played Silver 2 to Plat solo in 2 days which people don't say or they don't even watch the streams and assumes things
@@yvil2433 Facts. Simple matter is, bro played tank jungle stuck to his role and did his job. I'm sure Ludwig didn't tilt stupidly, didn't tilt his teammates, and just played. And he shot right the fuck out of Iron into Plat. It's worth noting he didn't just learn to play, but had to unlearn bad behaviors too. Pure gamer mode. Really speaks a lot about League addicts to stay hardstuck gold their whole lives.
People say 500 games is a lot, b/c they are use to challenger players doing these climbs. For players that are actually that rank, 500 games is not a lot. Most people take thousands to go from iron to plat.
He was still silver after 500 games. He just got an absolutely ridiculous streak in 2-3 days. So either he himself could now do an Iron to Plat run in a week or he just got insanely lucky. I mean, it's very well possible that it's the first case, but it sure wasn't a gradual/consistant improvement.
@@florianneumann6082 Nothing ridiculous about it, ,most degens who hate themselves enough to regularly ranked called it. The last 2 weeks is when lots of League players slowly stream back in to either finish their placements or climb to where they can qualify for skins. Majority of them have not played for weeks to months and already degraded from their original skill level, the result is getting gapped by someone who's been actively playing and have the current meta pathing on muscle memory. Final day I had several games where actual Diamond level players mistiming recalls and automatically lost objectives, ran around the map like a headless chicken and eventually gave up.
in 1 split 500 games IS alot. has nothing to do with challenger(i dont even know why you would bring it up). its weeks of just playing league without doing anything else. a normal person would have 100-200 games if they were active.
This is actually peak reaction content. I feel like I'm getting to see the best episode in a show where all the history just starts colliding together for the ultimate shift in the arc of the story. 😂
It's wild to have documented the entire journey from Silver 2 to Plat and people are still making excuses for his performance. Good on him for setting a goal and reaching it.
Ludwigs commitment to proving people wrong is completely insane (In a good way). Props for not letting public opinion sway you from achieving your goals
I think the reason T1 actually gives it a little respect is cause he knows what its like. Hes been the guy everyone doubted with chess. And he respects the prove them wrong mentality.
3:17 as a diamond 2 player right now it took me probably a couple thousand games and +6 years of playing league as a kid before i even hit gold, i think for most people its extremely impressive and i was a day 1 doubter
A new player to plat in 500 games in a 15 year old game is excellent. Season 1-5 you could be a new but talented gamer and get to plat in less than 100 games, but it was easier back then. League right now has such a higher skill floor due to available information, upgrades in game to the shop and client and rune system, etc. This is legitimately well done by Ludwig, grinder Chad sigma skibidi well done
What people sleep on for One Tricking is just the huge benefit to your mental stack. Especially when you're new and don't know champs - the best way to learn what other champs do is to know how they interact with YOUR character. If you see a champ for the first time after you have 500 games on that character - you will find out really fast how you have to interact with them. Also - your mental is free to focus on macro and farming because your champ control is on autopilot . V Similar to fighting games where if you know the character you can just focus on looking at your opponent.
I agree, knowing matchups is pretty important (though I'm not sure I'd recommend not at least having some experience in other roles, because lud has like 0 lane experience and I'm not sure he understands lane states as well because of it).
this is genuinely impressive stuff, honestly I never had the mental energy or the drive to climb in league of legends, just because of the sheer amount of games that you have to play to get to your rank. Seeing someone relatively new to the game actually pulling it off is an amazing feat, honestly I didn't think it would've been possible.
The argument is that it isn't just advice, it's like they are playing the game for him by telling him exactly what to do while he plays. Saying "okay, back here, now ping you're on your way." Or "no this is a bad fight, ping them off" It's different then just learning about the game, it's having a challenger brain guide you and play for you, just letting you hold the keyboard and mouse. Now that's the argument. I'm not sure I agree that it takes away from Ludwig's achievement, but it definitely increased his winrate a little. Still insane he did it and I'm proud of him.
@@yoganshkhandelwal8718 First of all, read the end of my comment. I'm not saying I agree with those people, just explaining the viewpoint to those who asked about it. Second, there were a lot more than just two games with live coaching. I watched a ton of them. He had live coaching throughout the season, not just those two games in the last stream that got him to plat.
You buy coaching from pros to get outta diamond + . Its a huge difference between a random vod with generic advice and a pro hovering your shoulder at every micro mistake you make. Getting pro coaching involved hella devaules this as an accomplishment when you aren't braindead.
Brother, everything that Perry told Ludwig is something you can find anywhere on RUclips. None of it's revolutionary nor hasn't been said or done before, just in this case it helped him live through the games but again it's not like the information he got was a secret or anything. It's just a little easier for him to absorb but anyone can do it. @@JohnJ-r6x
it's wild that some people in his chat have the ego to disagree with him. if i were them i'd take the advice of the guy that just climbed from iron to plat in 2 months instead of type 'oh actually you weren't good at fighting you were just lucky, you would have done better if you picked a different champion'
I climbed hard in like season 5 to Plat and have been playing casually since then. Seeing Tyler's respect and Ludwig's self-talk during his game play makes me want to climb again.
I checked in on ludwig throughout the challenge, and comparing his final game to his first week is insane. Not only can he identify the champions now, but he is able to itemize correctly, identify and play towards his wincons, prepare for objectives, identify bad plays and warn his teammates, as well as just building gameplans and talk himself through difficult moments. He has gained and integrated so much knowledge about the game and did it in such a short period of time its crazy. It legit took me a year to get over that initial knowledge hump of not knowing wtf is going on ingame, and hes done that and more in less than 3 months. The way he was speaking in his last game, i believe he could get to at least diamond if he kept at it (obviously slow the pace though cause that run was insane lol)
@itachi4761 i watch a lot of league content and his macro play and decisionmaking is 100% at least diamond compared to the players in that elo. High elo players always point out the difference in macro between masters and below, for example even in diamond its seldom that adc will rotate mid after they take their tower and instead will just keep pushing bot out. Keep hating though.
@@yungebola5524 even if his macro was at diamond which it isnt he wouldnt reach it with the kind of micro he got, not hating just stating pure facts. keep glazing though
@itachi4761 glaze this glaze that. Brother has probably never put effort or succeeded in anything in his life. Keep hating hater. It's working out so well for you. 11 comments from you on this vid btw. Pretty sure that qualifies as glazing at this point yourself. Touch grass.
@@yungebola5524 I will be real here, but that other guy is right. He's nowhere near diamond. Hell, he's not even really a plat player. He's a plat Amumu (arguable), not a plat player. Put him on any other champion and he'll completely shit the bed. Sure, his macro is much better now than before, but his micro is dogshit. And his macro also suffers whenever he overloads and does badly in games. He has a much bigger hurdle towards diamond than you're making it seem.
I think streamers by nature are all very sensitive to outside validation. You would almost have to be do it on a continuous basis, otherwise the commensurate toxicity would drown out the desire to continue.
Sick of replying to these bots in the comments but, anyone who's saying that he only got this cuz he got coached or downplaying his achievement is insane. All of the information Perry gave him is readily available on RUclips in any jungler tutorial video. None of it's revolutionary or a secret. Just put your nose to the grindstone and grind it out and stop bringing other people down cuz you can't rise up to his level
he climbed from silver to plat in like 4 days and has a history of getting a pro to take the controller and trick his livestream. wouldnot put it past him to do the same here. u dont just fly by gold and all of silver being hardstuck for the season
@Mavkor I mean aye you can tin foil hat all you want but if you were watching stream like I was, albeit in and out for the most part, you'd see his gameplay wasn't all too different than when he was playing with Connor. Specifically talking about basic mechanical errors, standing around and loitering in lane or weird part of jg. Even his clicking pattern and frequency that he checked other lanes and tabbed was basically the same. He was somehow winning games despite having so little impact on the lanes themselves in a decent amount of his win streak games too so unless this ghost pro pilot player is also mindcontrolling his teammates to not be bots and feed, then idk what to tell you
@ this is the same guy who has tricked his chat many times by having someone else play for him. Nobody in a well established ranked game is hard stuck and then magically goes up two whole ranks in less than a week. Keep dreaming buddy
12:55 I actually disagree with what you said there, especially cause to be fair your fighting skills are on a bronze level (maybe even iron), however your decision making (macro) is really good, maybe even above plat. The way you think about your plays and analyze them is what got you there, not your fighting skills. And that makes sense because basically everyone in plat has way more experience than you fighting and playing other champions (since theyve been playing lol for such a long time). I myself have bronze friend whos been playing ARAM for years and is really good in fighting, but just lacks macro experience and even the way of thinking that you have that I believe is what got you there. Fighting certainly helps, and I did think no way you could get plat with your fighting experience level, but it was you that proved it to me how it's definitely not as important as I thought before.. To finalize, congratulations on hitting plat! I love your way of thinking about the game and I think it's inspiring. If you continue, you could hit even higher ranks
Saying his fighting skills are bronze or iron is super cope. you could argue his mechanical skill isn't plat level sure. But you are not getting into plat with bronze mechanics, however you even define something like that.
In what world is his decision making good? I saw at least 5 games where he tries to dive 3 full hp enemies bot lane after seeing jungler bot side 5 secs prior and his bot support are 40% hp. He got a hella lucky streak to get into plat, NA is bad so maybe that's just how plat looks there but on EU he's bronze hardstuck for sure.
@@trevor245 on jg macro is king tbh. It's really not hard to do well with good macro on amumu. Easy champ and tankier to mitigate ability misplays. He dropped fiddle as main for good reason. Only real argument you can make vs it is if he is a plat league player or just a plat jg I guess.
@@trevor245 yes you are if you are playing a very mechanically forgiving champion ( which Amumu is probably the best mechanically forgiving jungler out there). Ur macro decisions will matter more cause its not hard to be pretty effective with simple fighting skills on Amumu
He did it in a very smart way, playing simple champions in the jungle completely cuts out the massive skill walls that come with learning laning mechanics, matchups bad management. When you've got the fundamentals down it's easier to go from playing one role to the next other than jungle due to how different it is but starting in jungle gives you a harder initial learning curve into a much much smoother path towards improvement.

i can see the progress, in the last few weeks i made it from iron 2 to silver 4 (took me around 50 ranked games, physically couldn’t play more), only with my boyfriend occasionally coaching me or supporting for me. i try to tell myself that as long as i see long-time improvement with my overall stats getting way better than it used to, i can be proud of myself and not focus on those moments when i feel like i’m being humiliated. still, often easier to say it than put it to practice :(
“Well played Ludwig, you did good” new alert sound right there
Tyler calling Ludwig the F word gives Linus saying it with a hard r lol
5:53 calmest league crashout
Everything Ludwig was taught u can search up on YT. Not only did he put in the effort to actually learn and pay attention to his mistakes and get better, he put in the time and effort to actually achieve his goal. It's not easy to do, mentally as well. Very much deserved support from T1 and good job to him for recognizing that
This is literally his job, are we going to praise everyone who put effort into their work?
@@MrWendrewwe're praising him because the amount of time he put in vs the result was impressive, plenty of people have more games than him in a season and have been playing for literally a decade and still can't hit plat
@@MrWendrew Your family must not love you
You're mostly right but live coaching is not the same as watching a youtube video. I mean surely we can all agree on that. I'm not saying that to discredit the achievement, I couldn't care less, but don't just lie in your argument. It takes away the validity of it
@mrfahrenheit677 u may be right but I haven't gotten live coaching myself so idk how different it is, esp from coaches at their level but idk I feel like if the vid goes into good enough detail and goes through various example situations and explains what to do and what not to do then it would be pretty close
I think Ludwig heavily underestimated the time he put in. Most of his games were going >40 mins + queue, drafts and coaching on top. Not to mention the league content every night
100%, games at bronze/silver rank are generally longer than most other ranks because ending the game is a skill you need to learn, he definitely had more game time than he thinks.
It's quite funny how people try to downplay Lud's achievement, looking for any sort of excuse just to make his achievement look worse than it actually is. This is why LoL isn't getting constant new and returning players - the toxic part of the community gatekeeps such players from liking or sticking to League.
Even if the toxic people are gone no one’s starting up league lmao
They disregard how he climb from IRON. He got coached but he played Silver 2 to Plat solo in 2 days which people don't say or they don't even watch the streams and assumes things
@@yvil2433 Facts. Simple matter is, bro played tank jungle stuck to his role and did his job. I'm sure Ludwig didn't tilt stupidly, didn't tilt his teammates, and just played. And he shot right the fuck out of Iron into Plat. It's worth noting he didn't just learn to play, but had to unlearn bad behaviors too. Pure gamer mode. Really speaks a lot about League addicts to stay hardstuck gold their whole lives.
@@PitBossReplicantexcept you’re incredibly wrong. Moron. There’s 160 million players per month
plat is a really cool achievement for a beginner but beyond that nobody cares. it's just plat. how long has ludwig been playing?
People say 500 games is a lot, b/c they are use to challenger players doing these climbs. For players that are actually that rank, 500 games is not a lot. Most people take thousands to go from iron to plat.
He was still silver after 500 games. He just got an absolutely ridiculous streak in 2-3 days. So either he himself could now do an Iron to Plat run in a week or he just got insanely lucky. I mean, it's very well possible that it's the first case, but it sure wasn't a gradual/consistant improvement.
@@florianneumann6082to be fair the first 100 games is like a learning phase to just understand the basics/fundamentals/other champ skills etc.
@@florianneumann6082 Nothing ridiculous about it, ,most degens who hate themselves enough to regularly ranked called it. The last 2 weeks is when lots of League players slowly stream back in to either finish their placements or climb to where they can qualify for skins. Majority of them have not played for weeks to months and already degraded from their original skill level, the result is getting gapped by someone who's been actively playing and have the current meta pathing on muscle memory. Final day I had several games where actual Diamond level players mistiming recalls and automatically lost objectives, ran around the map like a headless chicken and eventually gave up.
in 1 split 500 games IS alot. has nothing to do with challenger(i dont even know why you would bring it up). its weeks of just playing league without doing anything else. a normal person would have 100-200 games if they were active.
I played from release tim 2015 and I never got past Gold 2! 😢😂
This is actually peak reaction content. I feel like I'm getting to see the best episode in a show where all the history just starts colliding together for the ultimate shift in the arc of the story. 😂
It's wild to have documented the entire journey from Silver 2 to Plat and people are still making excuses for his performance. Good on him for setting a goal and reaching it.
1:55 its such a good pause it looks like t1 is actually looking at lud
Tyler1 is like the very strict father, when he finally recognizes your efforts, it feels so much better!! 😂
Exactly, he has such a hard time complimenting Lud, but that makes those compliments way more meaningful
Well deserved praise this makes me want to improve myself more on my rank goals.
Ludwigs commitment to proving people wrong is completely insane (In a good way). Props for not letting public opinion sway you from achieving your goals
if u ever listen to someone listen to the guy that hit chall in every role
I think the reason T1 actually gives it a little respect is cause he knows what its like. Hes been the guy everyone doubted with chess. And he respects the prove them wrong mentality.
3:17 as a diamond 2 player right now it took me probably a couple thousand games and +6 years of playing league as a kid before i even hit gold, i think for most people its extremely impressive and i was a day 1 doubter
6+ years for gold is honestly just sad...
@itachi4761 definitely sad! i cant even act like i wasnt trying, i really wanted to go pro as a 10 year old bronzey!
@@asukahana-v5e you could've if you had any talent for the game
@itachi4761 You should become a better person
@itachi4761 I find your negativity more sad, ever heard of people just playing for fun?
A new player to plat in 500 games in a 15 year old game is excellent. Season 1-5 you could be a new but talented gamer and get to plat in less than 100 games, but it was easier back then. League right now has such a higher skill floor due to available information, upgrades in game to the shop and client and rune system, etc.
This is legitimately well done by Ludwig, grinder Chad sigma skibidi well done
i feel like i’m watching the end of an enemies to lovers 😭😭
What people sleep on for One Tricking is just the huge benefit to your mental stack. Especially when you're new and don't know champs - the best way to learn what other champs do is to know how they interact with YOUR character. If you see a champ for the first time after you have 500 games on that character - you will find out really fast how you have to interact with them. Also - your mental is free to focus on macro and farming because your champ control is on autopilot . V Similar to fighting games where if you know the character you can just focus on looking at your opponent.
I agree, knowing matchups is pretty important (though I'm not sure I'd recommend not at least having some experience in other roles, because lud has like 0 lane experience and I'm not sure he understands lane states as well because of it).
@@studentt6064you dont need any lane knowledge at all when you’re as low as him he’ll be fine for a few more ranks
When Lud smiles that big you can see the BigTime relation.
538 games to have tyler say "hes actually not bad"
2:01 It's like WHAT???
2:15
Understandable that ludwig is blushing
I'm so happy watching this, it's like T1 complimenting me😂
You gotta respect someone putting their head down and learning as much as they can and trying to push their own abilities, big dub from lud
this is genuinely impressive stuff, honestly I never had the mental energy or the drive to climb in league of legends, just because of the sheer amount of games that you have to play to get to your rank. Seeing someone relatively new to the game actually pulling it off is an amazing feat, honestly I didn't think it would've been possible.
2:01 ITS LIKE FUCKING A WHAT NOW?????
I don't get the coaches argument, because they can just watch those coaching vods and get the same coaching for free lol
The argument is that it isn't just advice, it's like they are playing the game for him by telling him exactly what to do while he plays. Saying "okay, back here, now ping you're on your way." Or "no this is a bad fight, ping them off"
It's different then just learning about the game, it's having a challenger brain guide you and play for you, just letting you hold the keyboard and mouse.
Now that's the argument. I'm not sure I agree that it takes away from Ludwig's achievement, but it definitely increased his winrate a little. Still insane he did it and I'm proud of him.
@@Lethal_Bitedid u even watch the live coaching was for only 2 games where he won one and lost one
@@yoganshkhandelwal8718 First of all, read the end of my comment. I'm not saying I agree with those people, just explaining the viewpoint to those who asked about it.
Second, there were a lot more than just two games with live coaching. I watched a ton of them. He had live coaching throughout the season, not just those two games in the last stream that got him to plat.
You buy coaching from pros to get outta diamond + . Its a huge difference between a random vod with generic advice and a pro hovering your shoulder at every micro mistake you make. Getting pro coaching involved hella devaules this as an accomplishment when you aren't braindead.
its not the same coaching because its not tailored especifically for your gameplay and your mistakes
So many losers who saw ludwig blow by their rank when they have been playing for years and are stuck in gold are oh so quiet now)))
When you have pros coaching you just hitting plat is honestly sad af
Found a noisy one
@@JohnJ-r6xbro you’ve been in every reply trying to put ludwig down, get a hobby pls
Brother, everything that Perry told Ludwig is something you can find anywhere on RUclips. None of it's revolutionary nor hasn't been said or done before, just in this case it helped him live through the games but again it's not like the information he got was a secret or anything. It's just a little easier for him to absorb but anyone can do it. @@JohnJ-r6x
Tbh playing 550 games would of made anyone a league zombie.
getting a compliment from t1 is impressive
I Never in my life tough i would see the moment Tyler didn't flame Lud about his league skills. And not only he did but he complimented him.
2:02 - Ludwig 2025
insane how wholesome this interaction became
02:01 is a great out of context clip
2:00 it’s like what now?? Chat after that was flabbergasted
It makes sense that Tyler respects the grind. It's not about the rank. It's about the resilience.
THAT'S MY LUDWIGGER! THAT'S MY GUY!
it's wild that some people in his chat have the ego to disagree with him. if i were them i'd take the advice of the guy that just climbed from iron to plat in 2 months instead of type 'oh actually you weren't good at fighting you were just lucky, you would have done better if you picked a different champion'
The smile on his face says it all, Tyler actually seems like a really down to earth dude when he's not in his streaming persona.
2:01 WHAT DID HE SAY?!
This is like when squidward tried complimenting spongebob lmao
In all honesty Ludwig has come a long way Plat is a respectable rank for him. If he hit's Diamond T1 owes him a blowwy.
I climbed hard in like season 5 to Plat and have been playing casually since then. Seeing Tyler's respect and Ludwig's self-talk during his game play makes me want to climb again.
Waiting for the “How I scammed Tyler1 out of a compliment” video
he definitely did this. hardstuck silver then climbs from silver to plat in a few days doesnt make sense
@Mavkord1 hater commenting only on these kind of comments
what a time to be alive, never expected T1 to actually say nice things about Lud Lmao
I checked in on ludwig throughout the challenge, and comparing his final game to his first week is insane. Not only can he identify the champions now, but he is able to itemize correctly, identify and play towards his wincons, prepare for objectives, identify bad plays and warn his teammates, as well as just building gameplans and talk himself through difficult moments. He has gained and integrated so much knowledge about the game and did it in such a short period of time its crazy. It legit took me a year to get over that initial knowledge hump of not knowing wtf is going on ingame, and hes done that and more in less than 3 months. The way he was speaking in his last game, i believe he could get to at least diamond if he kept at it (obviously slow the pace though cause that run was insane lol)
he's not remotely close to reaching "at least diamond" but sure, keep glazing him he might continue playing
@itachi4761 i watch a lot of league content and his macro play and decisionmaking is 100% at least diamond compared to the players in that elo.
High elo players always point out the difference in macro between masters and below, for example even in diamond its seldom that adc will rotate mid after they take their tower and instead will just keep pushing bot out.
Keep hating though.
@@yungebola5524 even if his macro was at diamond which it isnt he wouldnt reach it with the kind of micro he got, not hating just stating pure facts.
keep glazing though
@itachi4761 glaze this glaze that. Brother has probably never put effort or succeeded in anything in his life.
Keep hating hater. It's working out so well for you.
11 comments from you on this vid btw. Pretty sure that qualifies as glazing at this point yourself. Touch grass.
@@yungebola5524 I will be real here, but that other guy is right. He's nowhere near diamond. Hell, he's not even really a plat player. He's a plat Amumu (arguable), not a plat player. Put him on any other champion and he'll completely shit the bed.
Sure, his macro is much better now than before, but his micro is dogshit. And his macro also suffers whenever he overloads and does badly in games. He has a much bigger hurdle towards diamond than you're making it seem.
this is strangely heartwarming man
we need tyler1 bro vs bro
the way he says Giga Dipshit just feels so satisfying
2:00 its like doing WHAT???
New ring tone for Lud "It was actually impressive"
You can tell Ludwig grew up without a dad with how bad he wanted this compliment from Tyler lmao. All respect though he grinded his ass off
I think streamers by nature are all very sensitive to outside validation. You would almost have to be do it on a continuous basis, otherwise the commensurate toxicity would drown out the desire to continue.
I honestly never thought Lud would do it but props to him.
2:00 its like what??
💀💀💀💀💀💀
Ludwig should put that in his intro
Sick of replying to these bots in the comments but, anyone who's saying that he only got this cuz he got coached or downplaying his achievement is insane. All of the information Perry gave him is readily available on RUclips in any jungler tutorial video. None of it's revolutionary or a secret. Just put your nose to the grindstone and grind it out and stop bringing other people down cuz you can't rise up to his level
he climbed from silver to plat in like 4 days and has a history of getting a pro to take the controller and trick his livestream. wouldnot put it past him to do the same here. u dont just fly by gold and all of silver being hardstuck for the season
@Mavkor its a breath of fresh air that someone has a brain on here
@Mavkor I mean aye you can tin foil hat all you want but if you were watching stream like I was, albeit in and out for the most part, you'd see his gameplay wasn't all too different than when he was playing with Connor. Specifically talking about basic mechanical errors, standing around and loitering in lane or weird part of jg. Even his clicking pattern and frequency that he checked other lanes and tabbed was basically the same. He was somehow winning games despite having so little impact on the lanes themselves in a decent amount of his win streak games too so unless this ghost pro pilot player is also mindcontrolling his teammates to not be bots and feed, then idk what to tell you
@ this is the same guy who has tricked his chat many times by having someone else play for him. Nobody in a well established ranked game is hard stuck and then magically goes up two whole ranks in less than a week. Keep dreaming buddy
@ sounds like you have the tin foil lmao
Everyone gained a lot of respect for Ludwig after this
12:55
I actually disagree with what you said there, especially cause to be fair your fighting skills are on a bronze level (maybe even iron), however your decision making (macro) is really good, maybe even above plat. The way you think about your plays and analyze them is what got you there, not your fighting skills.
And that makes sense because basically everyone in plat has way more experience than you fighting and playing other champions (since theyve been playing lol for such a long time). I myself have bronze friend whos been playing ARAM for years and is really good in fighting, but just lacks macro experience and even the way of thinking that you have that I believe is what got you there.
Fighting certainly helps, and I did think no way you could get plat with your fighting experience level, but it was you that proved it to me how it's definitely not as important as I thought before..
To finalize, congratulations on hitting plat! I love your way of thinking about the game and I think it's inspiring. If you continue, you could hit even higher ranks
Saying his fighting skills are bronze or iron is super cope. you could argue his mechanical skill isn't plat level sure. But you are not getting into plat with bronze mechanics, however you even define something like that.
In what world is his decision making good? I saw at least 5 games where he tries to dive 3 full hp enemies bot lane after seeing jungler bot side 5 secs prior and his bot support are 40% hp. He got a hella lucky streak to get into plat, NA is bad so maybe that's just how plat looks there but on EU he's bronze hardstuck for sure.
@@trevor245 on jg macro is king tbh. It's really not hard to do well with good macro on amumu. Easy champ and tankier to mitigate ability misplays. He dropped fiddle as main for good reason. Only real argument you can make vs it is if he is a plat league player or just a plat jg I guess.
@@kf532 Almost all people focus on one role. A plat jungle is a plat player lol
@@trevor245 yes you are if you are playing a very mechanically forgiving champion ( which Amumu is probably the best mechanically forgiving jungler out there). Ur macro decisions will matter more cause its not hard to be pretty effective with simple fighting skills on Amumu
It’s like playing your main in smash. You don’t have to perfect them all when you can master one.
Buddy could’ve gotten there in 100 games if he watched NEACE.
I thought he retired lol
😂
Ludwig saved this and is now listening in repeat.
Are we going to see a "how I tricked my viewers into thinking I got plat" after this?
GG good mental fortune and a lot of work got him to a good elo. Keep it up Ludwig you did really good
Throwing a cat tree is crazy ahahahaha
I wouldn't say he did this alone but he definitely put in the work
Actual feels good moment
gg man ur determination is truly that of a hardcore gamer. perhaps even a godgamer once the ludlock returns...
I love that prezoh is "the f-slur guy"
seriously respect for this. That is an insane feat
you can tell T1 is actually Proud of Lud, tryna hide his Smile Lol
He did it in a very smart way, playing simple champions in the jungle completely cuts out the massive skill walls that come with learning laning mechanics, matchups bad management. When you've got the fundamentals down it's easier to go from playing one role to the next other than jungle due to how different it is but starting in jungle gives you a harder initial learning curve into a much much smoother path towards improvement.
unc looks like a guy who got a compliment from their dad for the first time xD
crazy to watch him go from worse than me at league to better than me
I needed lud to piece together the f word bit I was so confused
I was more surprised at this than Lud hitting plat.
I was absolutely exoecting a 'haha you still trash'.
Congrats to Lud for his redemption arc 😂
ait cookies just blew my mind. I just thought of watching luds reaction to this and there it is on my home page
i have never seen ludwig be so happy before
its like the vater that always hated him finally gave his son some attention
Tyler1 understands what it took to get him there. And he respects players, "Who are about it"
