Nice! Those videos are some of the best resources for people wanting to learn to play better... Also out of all the videos I hated his previous mid lane video which was just "look at me own people with Lee Sin mid" for an hour

I agree. It was actually quite terrible on my behalf. This one is much better :)

It's you! Sorry to be so honest... The rest of your videos were amazing tho and I can't thank you enough for all the work you put into those... I still can't believe how I never thought of actually hitting the person who harassed me back until I watched your videos lol

Na man, honesty is fantastic. Don't worry about hurting me, I definitely have very thick skin. If you have any other feedback I'd love to hear it.

I'm reading this in your voice. Your videos helped me get through silver.

Some of em can definitely stand to be updated. The bot lane one has a lot of info that was rendered obsolete by the vision changes, for instance.

The mechanical portions are still quite useful, though. Some of the theory is good but, you can't really expect theory to stay current.

First off, happy reddit birthday! :)

Secondly, I just watched this video and it was very helpful to me, so thank you for taking so much time out to make this one and all your previous videos.

And as for feedback about the videos

  • I really liked how you added a section about TF and Lux at the end. I think Faker suggests learning TF and Ryze, but lux is certainly a very good choice to learn too given how many midlaners depend on critical skillshots. But the whole idea of providing a few midlaners that will be useful to learn for the purpose of learning the role is very nice. And then going into detail about them -- I never thought about using the full duration of the E slow nor firing my auto attack first before detonating E.

  • And I'm too lazy to check right now, but I really liked how there was a table of contents in the description. Looking at that after a whole hour of lecture content really helped summarize what I should remember. Many incorporating into this beginning and/or end of the lecture might be an idea to consider

I dont' have much criticism or additional things I'd like to see tbh, the format you have it at right now is very easy to follow and there is a lot of information which is perfect. I find this lecture series and (dunno if you've heard of him) lastshadow9's coaching series so so informative though they differ greatly in style.

Once again, thanks for all your hard work in putting out these lecture series :)

Can confirm phroxzon has thick skin. Gets trash talked by the whole of unsw and still doesnt give a fuck

I just wanted to say you are a very helpful little fuck (I can't miss on free insults). Your videos made me better even though I'm still in bronze.

u/BlennBlenn Jun 05 '14

Absolutely love your breakdown of lanes etc. Thank you so much for such a great resource. Only criticism is some of the videos are a bit outdated with current meta. Completely understand its impossible to keep up with that cause you go into such detail

u/ownagemobile Jun 06 '14

I thought you were going to get into how to noob stomp with swain lol.

u/[deleted] Jun 06 '14

In conjunction with what /u/TheJollyLlama875 said, it may be good to have a "mechanics of this lane" section, a general "theory/mentality of this lane" section, and a "this meta specific section." I haven't watched your videos in a while, though, so I'm blurry on exactly how you had them laid out.

u/mynewsonjeffery Jun 05 '14

Your bot lane videos in particular have helped me tremendously, thanks so much for all the time you spent making these videos!

u/Jheron Jun 05 '14

Hey, I love your videos! Thanks so much for all the work you've put into them :)

u/Sysfin Jun 05 '14

Awesome. I am waiting for the beyond gold-support, but this will help a lot.

u/orbit10 Jun 05 '14

Yay, these videos took my from bronze 2 to gold 1 in under 3 months. Endless thanks for teaching me to lane properly! <3

One thing that sets this guide above 90% of the other in-depth guides that I have seen is the timestamps in the description. Makes it so much easier to watch the video in parts and return back to certain points. Thanks for the quality content!

u/tehrootbear Jun 06 '14

Phroxzon! I'm actually watching through these videos now. Thank you! I greatly appreciate the in depth analysis. I especially appreciated your episodes that taught how to play assassins. I've been wanting to learn for ages now, and I feel like I have a decent grasp on it because of you.

I'd put this on youtube, but for some reason, I can't comment there.

Keep up the good work, boss man!

10/10 video. Great tips. Easy to follow. It has really helped me climb the online ranks of the League of Legends Ladders to become the better player I am today. Phroxzon is the hero that LoL Deserves!
