BASICS OF TOP LANE - LOL COACHING

All of Neece videos are goldmines(except when clients got an insane ego). As an unranked player learning this really teaches me how I should go about pushing and not pushing(playing like a bitch.

Ive been doing mundo top and climbing well with it, one thing that works for me is playing a TON of defense because so many tops are huper carries, i defend and dont feed then we win. I do offense when i know my jungler is pathing top.

New player here, thanks for the content! The coaching is great

This dude just had to play a little more and watch some basic guides..why blow money on coaching, rich??

Why does this guy have my voice? Did I ask for a coach without realizing one drunk night

I can't believe how many guides I had to go through to find one that ACTUALLY explains the basics... thanks for the upload!

Some of this sounds so basic and obvious, but I swear I've never realized some of these concepts after years of brainless solo Q. Thanks neace

best coaching content out there

Thanks for the Video, helped me alot.

You look like Dennis Reynolds, from IASIP, in the thumbnail.

Anyway, i'm 9 minutes in and learned alot already. thanks!

This is an incredible video. Since this is alot of info I hope this guy revisits this video a couple of times. I for sure got deeper knowledge about top fundamentals.

been playing this game for more than 5 years and i never thought of the simple 1 for 1 concept and the fact he loses more xp.. jesus league is more awesome than i knew

What does he do? Handle ass for a living?

Dude love the way you coach and explain haha old school tough love

man this game is giving me depression the people i run into if your doing bad they flame tf out of you

Did anyone notice the guy didnt buy anything lvl 1 ?

Yeah I start playing w my friends the other day and I was so embarrassed because Im playing so shitty but this coaching was really helpful. I realized I have actually lots to learn!

I'm new as well, something that really helped me with matchups was playing ARAM and always trying a new champ to see what their abilities are. It's not tilting. The matches are short, and no one is going to flame you for doing bad as long as you're trying to help the team. Also, try playing it without camera lock as it's just up and down movements. 👍

I find it funny how Neace is all about analogies and exlaining things as if its quantum physics while its the easiest concepts anyone can master by just having a lot of matches under their belts of experience. Just oversimplify and make it a fun experience learning the game than intimidating the newbies.

He goes all about this offense/defense and hourglass instead of getting into the essence.

Example:

Offense/Defense

You are in offense when you have a healthier minnion wave, your goal is to crush the wave into the opposing tower and if the opponent tries to farm you harass him/trade blows with him.

Mentality "psycho" , you should be mean and do not shy away from a fight when on offense.
(I know i know...mindblown)

Note: No matter if you misplay and die on offense. Limit testing for newbies.

In contrast when you are on defense you should not approach the opponent unless you are really confident on your skill to win a trade but as a general rule of thumb you do not trade and just keep distance. Not to much, just enough to be safe, not take damage while also close enough to get exp from minnions that die in the lane in front of you. You farm safely under tower or you "steal" minnions.

Steal:
Last hit minnion in such a timing/position that the opponent can not harass you or will put him in an uncomfortable position himself.

Mentality "pussy"

You do not get to dictate which minnions you can get without a trade of blows, so your best choice is to avoid conflict/damage at all and get what you can while keeping your healthbar as full as possible.

Garen's enchanted health regeneration is what makes him a good and very forgiving newb pick.

"Hourglass"

When you have stacked a big blop/wave of your minnions and crush them under the opposing tower, you should be either harassing or going crazy over killing the opponent OOOORRR. You can leave the lane temporarily to impact the game. The "hourglass" analogy comes from the fact that you have to come back to your lane as soon as that minnion wave you crushed dies and the roles of offense/defense switch. Remember you can TEMPORARILY leave the lane while that minnion wave of yours is crushing.

Crushing:
Minnion wave striking the opposing tower.

Why would you leave the lane?

As mentioned:

1. To ward
2. To recall
3. To rotate (go other lane and gang up on the opponent if there is a chance)
4. For objective (Herald/Dragon)

But always remember...you have indeed a TIMER (hourglass) to come back to lane as soon as your crushing wave dies in order to continue the laning phase, get exp and yadda yadda otherwise you fall behind.

There...these are the simpliest concepts explained and easily understood for anyone. Thats a 5 mins maximum read...take it or leave it. Instead of paying and wasting time.

I win 90% of my lanes as a top laner and I'm still losing 80% of my games, what am I doing wrong.
