Hey everyone.
When challenger players are smurfing, they win lane in the first 3 levels in 99% of the
games.
Its simply because these 3 levels actually have a lot that go into them and low elo players
make big mistakes as they arnt used to being punished for them in those ranks.
And one mistake in these early levels can decide the entire lane.
To show you what I mean, were going to break down a few games from low elo to show you
these mistakes.
In one of the games we have one of our high elo players Mcbaze smurfing in gold, to show
you how to punish these mistakes as well.
Alright for this first game, were going to look at a game in gold with two low elo players.
One of them is on Jarvan and one is on Kayle.
This is a good matchup to watch because even though kayle is a weaker champion earlier,
she can actually win if she doesnt have to leash and gets the push advantage.
So lets see what happens.
At the start of the lane, Jarvan walks straight up the kayle looking to all-in.
For some reason, Kayle runs towards Jarvans minions, then into the brush.
They start trading autos, and eventually disengage from eachother.
So, they both misplayed very hard here.
Jarvan should never be going all-in on kayle at level 1 because Kayle level 1 is much stronger
than his.
Kayle misplayed because she didnt just stand in her mininons and all-in.
Kayle was kiting backwards this whole time but if she had the gameknowledge and knew
she wins level 1, she would start hitting jarvan and moving forward.
So literally before a single minion dies one player made a lane losing mistake, and one
didnt capitalize on it.
Lets keep going though.
Jarvan has pretty low health but has potions running, and Kayle is still poking with her
E whenever its up.
So lets talk about the situation here.
Because of the mistake Jarvan made, he has to play this a certain way or its completely
doomed.
He has ignite over TP, so if Kayle just slow pushes and pokes him, then crashes the wave..
The wave will bounce back to kayle and jarvan will be too low to all-in and cant TP back
with full health.
So Jarvan has to stay very healthy untill the wave crashes and can give up CS to make
sure he doesnt lose too much health.
Then as the wave is bouncing back to kayle, thats when Jarvan can look for all-ins.
But, if Kayle plays properly and doesnt give jarvan any openings and lands enough poke,
theres nothing he can do.
So, lets see what happens.
Right away we already have a problem from Kayle.
Shes at 40% health and has 2 corrupting pots thats shes not using.
This is a super common mistake in low elo.
You have to understand Jarvan has more burst than kayle, but kayle wins in an extended
fight like we saw at level 1.
So if she stays near full health, its almost impossible to die.
This is especially true when jarvan took electrocute and Kayle has PTA.
Then after this, you see how Kayle is just constantly auto attacking the minions?
This is another mistake.
She should be last hitting as that will stack up 3 waves of minions, then she can crash
the wave and poke jarvan.
Now look what happens when shes done clearing the wave.
Its going to crash on the second wave where they are both level 2.
If she crashed the third wave kayle would be level 3 and jarvan level 2.
And it should be obvious how free of a kill Kayle is at the moment because shes not using
potions.
But, Jarvan is also misplaying here because hes not going all-in on Kayle right now when
shes walking up with such low health.
Jarvan can just 1 shot her with his eletrocute and ignite.
You have to understand that not taking advantage of the enemy laner griefing...is griefing.
Because what if Kayle just walks away and recalls now?
Now after the wave is cleared, Kayle runs up like this.
Before we see the obvious result here.
Dont try to act like these players are so much worse than you guys.
We see this gameplay and these same mistakes from everyone gold or below, even sometimes
in plat and diamond.
But yeah obviously Jarvan just goes in and kills the kayle like he should have a while
ago.
Alright now lets look at the second game where Mcbaze is on Riven, against a Nasus in gold.
At the start of the lane, this Nasus actually plays relatively smart.
He started Dorans ring and E. Mcbaze is positioned right next to any CS Nasus would want to go
for because he knows Riven wins level 1 extremely hard.
This is also what the Kayle could have been doing to the Jarvan.
But the Nasus doesnt bite and doesnt give Mcbaze the chance to win lane at level 1.
Now the next wave is here, and since Nasus wasnt walking up, Mcbaze tries to give him
some distance here because hes 1 minion from level 2.
Nasus does walk up a bit more but immediately turns around and doesnt give an opening.
Finally Nasus walks up a little to far and uses E, so Mcbaze goes in.
It looks like Mcbaze lost the trade because hes lower health, but he started that at 60%,
and nasus was at 100%.
So Mcbaze won the trade really hard because he punished the 1 mistake Nasus made here.
Nasus was doing really well up untill that point.
Now Mcbaze is going to grab a few CS, and Nasus is going to do the same using his E
like this.
Unfortunately Nasus makes another big mistake here, trying to walk up and use Q on this
low health ranged minion.
And this is what we mean when we say high elo players will punish every mistake and
thats why they win lanes so early.
Mcbaze jumps right in on Nasus and gets another chunk of his health for that.
Then before Mcbaze can look for one last all-in at level 3, the enemy nunu shows up to gank.
Hes forced to use flash to outplay and survive here which throws the lead he had.. but not
entirely.
He tries to go into the brush and look for a potential all-in on the nasus because even
though nasus has more HP Mcbaze will win this... but because Kindred is invading, Nasus backs
off.
Eventually Mcbaze just recalls, and Nasus fails to try and help the Nunu which he shouldnt
have tried to help in the first place.
Then nasus walks up to try and finish farming this wave..
Because he tried to help Nunu, he couldnt shove this wave in time to crash it, and he
backs off to recall.
If you were him here, would you TP back to lane?
5 second pause The answer here should always be yes.
If he doesnt TP back to lane, Mcbaze can freeze this the entire time and deny so much experience.
Its a lane losing mistake.
If nasus tped back in, he wouldnt lose all of these mininons, and he wouldnt be in dangewr
of an all-in because he would have the minion advantage.
He can hold his own against Mcbaze if he plays it right.
But sadly for him, he doesnt TP back in, so Mcbaze freezes the entire time until Nasus
gets back to lane.
This gives him a huge experience advantage...and this is a big problem for Nasus as he cant
really walk up to farm at all or stack his Q.
Mcbaze will contest every CS nasus goes for like this untill he gets a big chunk here.
After hitting 6 Mcbaze looks for an all-in but Nasus keeps his distance, so Mcbaze goes
back to the wave to start slowpushing.
Hes not going to freeze anymore because he can do something even more punishing.
If he starts slowpushing, he can stack up 3 entire waves of minions, and since Nasus
lost so much experience, he wont hit level 6 which could give him enough health to survive
under tower.
So Mcbaze would plan on diving after stacking up those 3 waves.
So as he starts slowpushing, hes still going to run in and out of range of an all-in like
this, just incase Nasus makes a mistake and is too far up.
Mcbaze notices he was late to turn around here, so he all-ins to close out the lane.
And if we go back to right before nasus died..
If you look at the top left, he has 9 stacks on his Q, and only 19 cs in 7 minutes.
This is what happens when low elo players make big mistakes in the first few levels.
Its snowballed insanely hard by the high elo player.

Alrioght guys, so as you can see, big mistakes are made by both players in low elo.
If you can spot these and punish them like a high elo player would, you can win lane
very quickly almost every game.
But thats going to bring us to the end of this one.
We hope you enjoyed and thanks for watching!
