Hey everyone.
In this video, were going to be analyzing a game from Lourlo where hes playing Camille
vs Lissandra.
This replay will be different from all our other videos because its more going to be
about what NOT to do since Lourlo plays the lane so terribly.
Now we know lourlo is a great player and everyone has rough games, but it's when things go wrong
that we can most easily see what to do differently.
Anyways, lets get into analysis.
Camille is an AD bruiser vs Lissandra an AP control mage.
Lissandra has more waveclear, more poke, and more damage in burst trades, where camille
wins in extended trades.
We have seen plenty matchups like this recently with ranged top laners being really popular
right now, so you should know what Camilles gameplan should be.
But just incase you dont:
Mission 1: Let the wave push
Pushing early can lead to lisssandra freezing with her waveclear advantage.
Mission 2: Stay healthy
Camille needs to pick CS wisely so she has enough health to trade later
Mission 3: Look for extended trades
Once the lane is pushed far enough, Camille wants to look for all-ins when lissandra has
a long way to get to her tower.
Alright, lets get into the gameplay.
As the lane starts, Lourlo pulls the minions then walks into the brush.
What this does is, it makes the wave push to him since it stalls the wave for the even
minion rule.
This trick is great for ranged top matchups where you want them to push, so this would
be really good for lissandra to do here.
Lourlo doing it doesnt really make sense because its a ranged vs melee matchup, the wave is
going to push to him anyways.
And after he does it he starts autoing minions to push so im not sure what he was thinking.
Either way, he fails mission 1 here since the wave is pushing to lissandra.
He gets some W poke in, but takes a ton of harass himself when going for CS.
Also, we see lee sin at top scuttle with only red buff.
After taking scuttle he invades lourlos blue meaning hes vertical jungling and the map
is going to be split.
This puts Lourlo in an even worse spot since his lane is pushing.
After killing a few minions, Lourlo hits level 2 and goes in attempting an extended trade.
He gets some nice damage but Lissandra has her tower there so he cant continue the chase.
Lissandra returns damage with her range to even out the trade.
So now Lourlo has really low health, the wave is pushing to Lissandra so if he bases he
loses a lot., and lee is top side so him staying in lane is going to lead to certain death.
The lane is just really messed up right now from him pushing level 1.
He goes back to Csing, and lee shows up for a gank.
Lissandra flashes in and snares Lourlo and lee finishes him off for an easy first blood.
Alright, so before going any further.
In just 1 minute of gameplay, we can see how going into the game without a gameplan can
completely throw your lane.
Even for a pro player.
Lets do a small recap of why its so bad to push vs ranged champions like this:
1: You take a ton of harass while doing it
2: They can freeze the wave preventing you from taking the extended trades you want because
they have the tower right behind them.
and 3: Youre vulnerable to ganks the whole time with no benefit.
Okay, lets keep going and see if Lourlo can adapt to the situation.
After he dies, the wave is pushing to Lissandra, but lee sin hard trolls here by killing these
minions.
The reason for that is, since the wave is pushing to lissandra, if Lourlo doesnt TP,
the wave will kill all of lissandras minions denying Lourlo a ton of CS.
So lee could literally just sit in the brush and wait for him to TP.
But since he killed the minions and got it pushing towards lourlo again, Lourlo is safe
to TP back.
Anyways, lourlo was aware that could happen and Tps to the cannon minion back here to
prevent the cheese, then wards the river brush.
Lourlo is playing back now, not autoing and trying to let the wave push for mission 1.
He goes for these ranged minions looking for harass at the same time with his W, but this
wasnt played optimally.
Whenever youre playing champions that have any kind of heal, like camille W, or Vlad
Q. You dont want to use the heal when you have full health, you want to let them hit
you first then use the heal to take advantage of the sustain.
Lourlo uses his W when hes full HP, then Lissandra harasses him.
This seems small but its actually a really big deal against ranged champions especially.
After that, he goes for a lot of autos on this cannon minion, and takes a lot of harass
for it.
I honestly have no clue what hes doing.
This is a perfect example of what not to do for mission 2.
These autos do nothing for him here and he takes autos and lissandra Q harass for it.
Then Lourlo walks up for some W harass, with lissandra using her W way too early.
Lourlo noticed this and goes in for an extended trade for mission 3.
Lissandra makes some questionable movement here walking into him, and Lourlo starts to
back off.
I think Lissandras movement made him think lee was here, but lee is on the map bot side
so im not sure.
Lourlo tries to re-engage with his E but Lissandra uses her own E to dodge it.
So both of them misplayed really hard here.
Lissandra could have easily killed Lourlo or got him to flash but she used her W really
early giving lourlo the window to go in.
Then Lourlo could have autoed her to death or just won the trade harder but he backed
away thinking Lee was there.
If lissandra just held her W for when Lourlo E`s in, she could root him then run him down
with her slows, autos, and her own E. Just really bad gameplay from both of them.
After that, Lissandra recalls and Tps back to lane with full health, which puts Lourlo
back in a bad position.
He doesn't have TP and only has 1 potion left.
He uses W on lissandra as soon as her TP is done to get some health back, then grabs these
CS right in front of her.
Lissandra could have punished this super hard with constant autos but she plays scared.
I think she thought the jungler was near with camille walking up like that.
Lourlo goes back to trying to push again, grabbing his CS and poking with W. He takes
a lot of harass from it though, not learning from what happened earlier.
He walks up to trade, takes a lot of harass again, and now has 15% health.
So he slingshots away and takes a recall.
When he gets back to lane, the big wave that was on his tower is basically already dead,
putting him further behind.
He could have easily prevented this, and here's how.
Lets rewind back to here:
Lissandra just TPed back to lane with full health and more items.
As soon as that happens, Lourlo needs to be thinking about how he's going to get a recall
in soon.
Right here is the perfect time because the next wave isnt here yet, Lissandra can't clear
these 4 minions fast enough to crash the wave, so Lourlo could reset and be back as the wave
is crashing.
But he got greedy and took a ton of harass which telegraphed is recall really hard.
Anyways, going back to present game.
Lourlos jungler is here for a gank so Lourlo goes in with hookshot, forcing lissandra to
E away, but ekko lands a nice stun grabbing the kill.
This was just super greedy from lissandra.
After she forced Lourlo to leave lane, she should have shoved the wave in and recalled
since she would have got a nice lead that way, but she stayed for whatever reason and
dies for it.
This is really good for Lourlo because of the wave state right now.
Its pushing to Lourlo so Lissandra will be denied a lot of CS.
Lourlo keeps it frozen for a while but the freeze breaks as lissandra gets back to lane.
Alright, lets test your top lane game knowledge.
If you are Lissandra here, what is your thought process here?
What should you do in these next 30 seconds?
This seems like a broad question, but there really is only 1 right answer.
The wave is pushing to lissandra, and camille wins extended trades.
With the wave where it is right now, all lissandra has to do is sit back and let it push closer
to her tower so it's safe to lane again.
Lets see what happens.
Lissandra walks up, so Lourlo goes in with his E for an extended trade.
He runs her down until she's forced to E away.
Then goes in 2 seconds later when his own E comes back up again.
Lourlo flashes and gets a kill.
So this was so so so bad from lissandra for so many reasons.
Let's go back to how it started.
First off, her lane positioning is terrible, You always want to be in the middle of the
lane vs camille and far away from the walls so she cant hookshot really fast like she
does here, and gives you a chance to dodge it.
Then Lissandra uses her E so late letting Lourlo auto her a ton.
And the worst part is that all she had to do was sit back and wait for the minions.
Now she loses a huge wave and the lane is completely thrown.
Alright, were not going to do a big recap here since we did a bunch of small ones throughout
the video.
But as you can see, Lourlo followed the gameplan for Camille just one time and got a solo kill
for it even after trolling all of the laning before that.
It really goes to show how important game knowledge is in this game.
Thats going to be all for this video, thanks for watching!
