Why MACRO is the SECRET to ESCAPING LOW ELO!

hey everyone i haven't played my main in a few months this season but recently i started to climb again i decayed to plot one but i'm quickly climbing and i'm in masters of mmr games now thing is i'm not playing at a high level i think my mechanics might be washed but even when outclassed mechanically my game knowledge and decision making carries me against these players today i'm going to show you an example of this where i'm playing orianna vs victor and i wasn't really playing that well mechanically but through a few small things i got three kills in five minutes and the best thing is the concepts here are actually very easy to implement any elo and on any champion so with that being said let's get into it at the start of the lane as the minions are approaching i already have a concept i want to teach you guys since it's one that is extremely important to laning and it has an infinite skill ceiling even the best players in the world are constantly improving at this we're just going to call it spacing simply put good spacing lets you get free hits on the enemy champion without being in range to be hit yourself or a q and victor q have very similar ranges but ori can use q and start moving and while it travels i can turn around which will let me hit victor and avoid his q he knows this though and is trying to avoid my cue while hitting his own so he can proc his first strike sadly i just barely can't reach him with my q here from his good spacing we'll see plenty more examples of this throughout the lane now we can already talk about another fundamental concept to andy lane laning is almost like a turn-based game i just use q so it's down meaning it's victor's turn he knows this and is trying to use his turn and hit me with q i have no cs to get though so i'm not going to give him that and we'll just play outside his q range until my q is back up now i can walk back up and start autoing the wave it could seem like i lost nothing from staying out of his q range a little bit earlier but that's not true it prevented me from trying to push the wave with autos so i could have the push advantage after grabbing my first last hit i have none to go for now and victor is gonna look to grab this low health minion this is the next fundamental concept delaney contesting cs almost everything you do in lane should be based on cs as it makes the enemy have to make a choice like in this example here victor knows i'm contesting this last hit he has first strike as well so if i hit him it'll put that on cooldown so he has to decide if he wants to take the damage from my q and pop his first strike or give up the last hit with good spacing i can throw q without letting him use his own q on me at the same time but i didn't walk in a straight line away from him so he just barely got rained to trade back a little bit it was still good for me but it could have been avoided victor q has a longer cooldown than mine though so i'll have about three to four seconds or it's still my turn here and i can try to poke him with his good spacing though he just barely avoids my q in lower elos we might be playing in they won't have good spacing like this so you want to be taking your turn and using it like this every time don't let the enemy laner breathe when they don't have abilities but now it's victor's turn since my q is down and his is up for my poor spacing he got range to tag me with his q like this then my q comes back up and notice he has a big minion advantage here as i walk up to contest the cs the minion wave doesn't matter though because i'm not going to auto him and he doesn't have an ability to use so i have to contest this last hit so as he walks up for it i throw my q and make sure he pays the price for that minion honestly in just these first 30 seconds of laning we went over the three core fundamentals of trading and how to play laney phase excluding recalls if you do these three things and get good at them you have a solid foundation to build from when it comes to being a strong leaner that's why at school cap we have courses separated in individual concepts want to focus on landing we got you covered with seven courses interested in wave control instead there's five courses waiting for you to uncover or maybe it's macro you're struggling with instead i'm sure you're starting to get the idea this is why skill cap actually works you can focus on mastering one topic at a time at your own pace if it didn't work we wouldn't be able to offer our rank improvement guarantee for years now join the hundreds of thousands of satisfied skill cap members by clicking the link in the description below now back to the guide but like i said earlier i was getting outclassed a bit by the victor but i end up 3-0 so let's keep going to see what happens as next wave arrives victor walks up like this looking to take his turn with q but my q came up so i should actually win this trade but as i threw my q i cancelled my auto attack this was my first mistake after cancelling it i tried to compensate for that by chasing for more autos then we both hit level 2 and this is where i made my next big mistake i leveled up w second but my q was down so i had no way of moving it towards him before the trade was over if i leveled e second this tray would have been much better so at this point i'm losing and the wave is pushing to me so it's not like i can just shove him in and recall which would make this lost trader relevant the only way to salvage the situation is by punishing a big mistake from victor even though there's not many things he could mess up from this point or by winning some trades through good spacing but he just has to keep pushing and keep the pressure up as i don't have tp i brought flash and heal and we'll go over why in a bit but i managed to punish this last hit he was going for with my q and w which is a good start on salvaging the lane but he hits me with a laser and q so basically back to where i started while his abilities are down i take that time to grab last hits and auto the wave to try and thin it out a bit trimming his wave down with autos is helpful because the less maintenance he has the slower the wave pushes to me which makes it harder for him to recall he gives him less minions to help him trade and makes it harder for him to survive a gank if my jungler decided to but now his laser is coming up and he's going to hit level 3. so odds are he puts his third point in laser instead of w which is a common thing victors do it will do more damage but costs more mana this means dodging victor e is huge when leaning versus him he can't just spam it and miss a few without running out of mana the problem is victor e actually comes down to him missing it not you dodging it but it doesn't mean you can't make it a little bit tougher for him to land it let me show you i know his laser is coming up here and i see the low health minion in front of me in my mind he's going to try and grab that last hit and hit me with the laser so i want to put myself right on the edge of his laser range this makes him think he can hit me with it and if my spacing is perfect i can bait the laser and just barely avoided and that looks like this that's beautiful stuff right there but anyways delane is in a great spot as his wave is pretty big with the cannons alive and the next wave is going to be arriving which will combine with the current one victor is going to hard focus on pushing crashing the wave so you can recall and i see him doing this since he used his e on the wave i can't do much to him with that big of a wave so i just focus on grabbing cs and clearing the wave as it crashes alright so this is where my game knowledge lets me out play the victor first shoving the wave like he did and recalling wasn't a good play for him i have no potions and he has tp so he can just keep pressuring me and use the rest of his mana to get me low enough that i could be dover until i have to recall there's no reason for him to recall right now especially with my jungle showing in bot lane at the moment i'm gonna punish this decision from him by noticing that my next wave is still not here and i can clear these range minions on the top quickly before they get here like this why is this important well by doing this the wave gets reset meaning it just goes back to the middle if i just last hit the wave instead of clearing it like this my next wave would get here and be held up until the wave is clear even if they get held up for just a second it will make my waves start slow pushing to victor if that happens it means i have to stay and push to crash the wave but he has tp so he'll tp back with gold spent full health and potions so it'll be really hard to crash my way without dying and i'll probably have to take a bad recall so i can take my recall now victor should have noticed what i did and realized he messed up and he shouldn't take you back to lane as it doesn't give him any advantage basically he had a really good situation in lane where i was losing and didn't have a way to salvage it but now things are even because of what he did luckily for me he still used tp to get back to lane i can just walk back and collect the wave as i'll only miss a few minutes here now let's look at the lane state before he had tp so if we traded a lot he could always recall tb back in with full hp so i'd have to keep that in mind but now he doesn't have it so any damage i do to him will stick and i have heal meaning i have combat summoner's spell advantage so it'd be very hard for him to kill me in a 1v1 this is where things in the lane start to swing in my favor if we look at the minions the wave is even and it's on my side of the lane even minion rule says in cases like this it was slow pushed towards victor so i'm just collecting last hits on my wave builds victor's gonna hit me with a laser here and then walk up to grab another last hit this is where he makes his first big mistake since we got back to late victor's q is a targeted ability meaning it will draw a minion aggro so when i hit him with my q and w here notice i don't try back off to prevent him from hitting q i wanted him to use it here as it will aggro my cannon and three range minions my abilities don't draw minion aggro so i don't have to worry about that here on top of this i'm slow pushing to him meaning it's more worth for me even if we did trade evenly because i will have a big wave with me which will prevent him from fighting me so basically always be my turn until i crash this big wave also since i'm the one pushing i could always just recall if i need it after crashing it so as my next wave gets here and creates a big wave you'll see my posture change as i walk up and throw the ball out like this like i said it's basically always going to be my turn from here until the wave crashes so i put the ball out to get ready to contest any cs he goes for i poke him a bit with w but sadly missed some damage from my q not connecting then collect the rest of my last hits as the big wave crashes now before i get ready to keep pressuring i want to make sure i'm safe meaning i want to have vision of the side i'm going to play towards my jungler's bot side so i'm going to ward bot and hug that side from here now it's party time meaning now it's time to turn the pressure to 11. i'm safe from ganks my wave is pushed and since i'm level 5 i have three points in my queue ori's landing scales with her level every point and q gives her 30 more damage on it which is insane when the cooldown is so short my q is a four second cooldown right now so i'm going to constantly push and pressure the victor from here especially since his tp is down this just means constantly auto attacking and using abilities to harass him he has no potions left with 40 hp and low mana as well this means he's totally screwed as i'm ungankable and he doesn't have tp to bail him out but a lot of players make a mistake when the lane looks like this they'll get impatient and try to all in the victor then they end up dying to a gank or trading one for one the lane is already over for him i can just keep doing the same thing and choke him out of the lane until he overstays and dies or takes a bad recall so i continue pushing and pressuring until this point i saw that i was close to level six here and i knew i missed a few cs while walking back to lane so he must be one minion from six i knew he was trying to bait here so i was trying to focus a minion down quickly to basically counterbait but while doing that i saw wukong's clone appear in top river which means he was ganking and lulu shows up as well like i said i'm ungankable right now and this brings us to why i love bringing heal heal is really really good when the enemy laner isn't going to bring ignite it's great for 2v2s escaping ganks and in the 1v1 especially if move speed is important like versus cassio or any mage really so when wukong flashes on me here i just use heal and start fighting towards my jungler i make sure to turn all of the wukong to bait him in and hold my offer when my jungler gets here so i can alt him and the lulu then i run up and use q to grab the double kill by killing lulu my new new chase is victor and i know he's gonna flash the wall and if he flashed towards his tower we wouldn't be able to kill him but when he flashed i saw he flashed and didn't run towards tower so i flash over this way to get the triple all right so basically what just happened was victor was getting choked out of the lane which was putting a ton of pressure in mid that pressure made the enemy jungler and support try to gank but i was set up to where it wouldn't be possible to gank me with heal i didn't even need to flash away from the gank they overchased and because i cut it in my jungler they all died alright guys so as you can see even when i was losing lane early because the bad recall he took and the bad tp i could punish these two things to the fullest which set up for the big triple kill if the enemy team didn't gank victor would have died and lane or had to take a battery call anyways alright before we wrap this up let's tell you a little more about skill capped so we offer a 5 division rank up guarantee i think that's a pretty crazy thing to
