6:24 ALWAYS BLAME JUNGLE. write that down write that down!!!!

For free!? Wow, and all this still applies in 2026! Great video Alois

As a top laner, if im ahead on my opponent and he starts playing very safe and passive farming under tower. Is it better for me to start roaming and joining objective fights sacrificing a few waves?

"fundamentals" lol Its so many information and stuff going on that any players below high dia has no chance understanding what is going on :)

Hes such a great teacher, hands down

FANTAMENTOS

Your concept on just following your minions mirrored to your opponents minions is so brilliant. I feel like I finally understand league of legends and can play properly now. Thank you so much!

can’t access the links, do they not work anymore?

He sucks at explaining or teaching

I am new player and just want to say thank you for all your videos!

how did I miss out on free fantamentos?? great guide

is there a first video in this series? theres some things I already kind of dont understand in this video. such as what the difference between hardpush and slow push is and how to do these

Is there a reason you want to go for bot tier 1 instead of mid tier 1 @ 24:45

I love u alois (seriously)

I actually love doing homework to play this game

0:05 for me it's the opposite, I lose the game, then win the late game if I didn't feed too much the other top laner

does anyone take notes of the main themes of the videos? please

I think this kind of video is so much more educational than seeing someone play (almost) perfectly. The human brain is pretty much designed to notice errors, it gives much greater weight to negatives than positives, so seeing what mistakes people make and learning why they are mistakes is, at least in my opinion, a much easier way to learn.
As the saying goes, it’s a wise man who learns from his own mistakes, and a fool who doesn’t learn from the mistakes of others.

34:11 ok it's really really late to ask this question, but can't they take tier 2 THEN do nash ? don't they have time and isn't it the best solution, or maybe it's a tempo matter and they might get killed after doing nash once enemy team respawns cuz they took too much time on tier 2, I feel like they have enough time tho

Please more content

35:18 how korean arc feels like

Great cover over game decision makingnand your thoughts.
Having just got emerald, the gold and low plat games were harder than these. I dont know if its more resources and better players or if being boosted to emerald is common and people are clueless once they get there.

Bro something about the way this guy explains things just clicks for me. Super helpful new subscriber ty sir

i love your videos, you always know what to do, i want to be this good as you keep it up !

I am new to league, but have moba experience with over 1K hours in Smite and HotS. And it is really eye opening how much detail goes into managing your waves correctly. Like slow pushing intentionally to get a better position after reset. Not sure if it will help a lot in the low elo, but I guess those fundamentals still can apply there to some extent. So thank you for your insight!👌

Noch nie so ein geiles tutorial gesehen. Kann ich deine Nummer haben?

09:01 you know what else is massive..

tengo unas ganas de jugar riven que no hay tiempo para esto, regreso despues de la humillada

wtf happened at 38:38 the ally team is about to wombo combo the shit outta them and then suddenly just vanish from reality XD

bro this guys first timed renekton or what

Literally just found this, made some notes and rewatched a few times to try and really understand it.

I'm not kidding when I say the first bloody game I played I was able to solo carry from Top for the first time in my life. Managed a 3rd wave crash and cheat recall vs. a Camille and like the man says, it's all downhill from there. Didn't take any needles risks, reached full item first and killed her with the Eclipse spike letting me do a 3 wave crash on her tower. Then used my first unleashed TP to secure first Dragon and got back to lane before the farm even bounced all the way back... it was like clockwork.

I'm... speechless. I've been playing this game for around 8-9 years since S3 and I never even considered any of this, mostly I think due to bad guides and a focus on mechanical skill ahead of fundamentals. Alois, I can't thank you enough.

thanks im going to need to watch this more than once because ill forget. very good guide!

This is emerald.. what? When i play in silver/gold elo the baron is gone right away when one person dies

how to win as top lane: pray your bottom 4 are better than the other team's

This is great academy. I would love to see concept in losing match up tho. I love how you're showing all mistakes when you're ahead but would love to know how to play if you're behind (eg. in Rene case)

9 out of 10 games I get teammates who legitimately throw games
