what's up guys it's me Jeremy I've
always been a player that has fairly
poor last-hitting
and its really hurt my ability to
transition from support to other roles
so I sat down did my best and practiced
hard for 10 hours straight and I'm here
to give you my tips and what I learned
from the experience let me know if you
like this kind of series and comment
what kind of mechanic you might like to
see me practice next anyways let's get
started first things first let's go over
what I did exactly I had a series of 5
drills that I worked my way through all
of which were designed to improve my
csing aka last hitting minions at a
certain aspect of the game all of the
drills involved to me csing for the
first 5 minutes of a game and repeating
that drill until I could get 95 percent
or more of the CS which in this case
would be 36 CS or more with a maximum at
38 after finishing the last wave cut off
at 5 minutes you could also do it to 10
minutes and I did try that but almost
all of the CS I was missing in my 10
minute runs happened to be in the first
5 minutes so I decided to focus on
practicing that and throughout my 10
hours I actually did not finish my whole
practice regiment which goes to show how
tough csing as a mechanic really is but
it was mostly because the fifth and
final drill that I have was extremely
long and fairly difficult the first
drill I did was to see us using pretty
much any means necessary
except for Ultimates and summoner spells
this was to get used to csing by myself
and to build a base to work off of for
the other drills and it actually kind of
took me a while since when I started I
was only able to get about 24 out of 38
CS or so which is actually around 60%
yeah it was pretty bad and so it took me
about 2 hours to finally pass this drill
the next drill is to see us as normal
but you have to be constantly moving and
you have to look at your mini-map every
10 seconds or so this is so you can get
used to csing in a laning phase
environment and can start to position
well while csing and having good map
awareness it only took me about half an
hour to beat this drill actually because
the foundation from the first
made it fairly easy since it was kind of
something I was already doing someone
naturally during my time in the previous
drill the third drill I did was to see
us while moving and looking at the map
but to alternate each creep wave between
pushing and freezing so the first wave I
would push super hard and then the next
wave I would push as little as possible
and then the next wave I would push hard
again and so on and so forth this is so
that you can get used to controlling the
creep wave and being able to push
without missing CS as well as to get
used to stop pushing if needed I had a
lot of trouble with this drill actually
since it was a bit different to CS while
pushing in Lane and the alternating
patterns made it kind of difficult and
so it did take me another two hours or
so to pass this drill next up was to do
the same but to add a bot to your lane
this is to simulate a lane environment
but because BOTS tend to be bad at the
game you're not allowed to force them
out of Lane you can harass and trade
with them but you can't get them below
50% HP or so this drill was actually
kind of big for me since although it
took me a while it made me realize that
I was missing a lot of CS due to the
fact that I kept trying to harass the
bought at improper times and once I
played a little bit more passive I was
able to see us a lot better and finally
pass the drill and overall it's really
good to get used to going for trades
when you aren't going to miss CS and
this drill helped me a lot with that and
the fifth and final drill is to go back
and do drills one through four again but
to remove all of your runes masteries
and items this drill I did not pass
since it is pretty long but it proved to
be really challenging actually and I was
only able to consistently get 90% of the
CS or so instead of the desired 95% but
I only had about four hours left or so
by the time I got to it so with another
day of practice I'm sure I could pass it
being able to see us with no runes
masteries or items is not really as
applicable as doing it with your full
set up but the process really helps you
understand things like creep attacks and
how to CS without pushing and it also
helps you translate the csing skill in
general to other champions really well
and as for my results before the drills
I was only able to consistently get 60
to 65% of the CS in a lane which is
honestly terrible but after my 10 hours
I was able to get 95% of the CS
occasionally 90% of the CS somewhat
consistently and definitely 85% of the
CS and Alain very consistently which I
guess is kind of decent so overall my
csing improved by about 20% or so worth
of creeps overall which is a pretty
significant improvement if you consider
that's about 20 creeps or 400 gold or so
by just 10 minutes into a game so the
practice session has really given me
some pretty sweet results and I'm
satisfied with it for sure and I think
it was definitely worth it however 10
hours is a long time to sit down and
practice something so even though I
think it was definitely worth it for me
if you're a little bit more strapped for
time I recommend doing the second drill
if you're truly abysmal at csing or the
third or fourth drill if you're already
kind of okay at it those drills are
where you can learn the most in the
smallest amount of time and if you need
to improve your csing I recommend
practicing the way I did as I think it
helped a lot and has made me a lot
better at that mechanic and the best
part is that since it's a mechanical
skill after you get good at it you're
pretty much never really going to forget
it since you'll always have the
foundation to be good at it one thing
that I did notice in my closing thoughts
was that even though I practice this
mechanic for 10 hours straight I'm still
not super good at it I'm definitely not
as good at csing as I could be and 85%
is really not that great if you're in a
super high ranking so it really gives me
respect for the mechanics that high
ranking players have and kind of shows
the steps that you truly need to take to
get there
