Your Team is NOT The Reason You're Hardstuck...

Hey guys, it's Perry. Today we have 2 banger Viego videos where I'm showing you guys the thought process of a Challenger player, how to perform at a very top level on this champion. We have 2 very hard games. I definitely want you to stick around, watch it through. How do I deal with losing lanes, people inting, people not playing well? How do you carry games on Viego? And what do you do when you're faced with really hard losing lanes? So I hope you guys enjoy this video. This is the thought process of a Challenger player on Viego. I'm going to break down everything for you guys that you need to know when trying to win more games on Viego. Again, guys, if you want to just play to play, you don't need to watch this video. This, this video is for you if you were trying to lock in and you're trying to genuinely climb and do all the hard things. Okay, auto W auto there. You have to be really fast with your auto W auto. Speed is everything in jungle in League. You have to be fast. Auto W auto is the best combo in the game when it comes to Just clearing quickly on Viego. We're looking at mid lane here. We want to see what's going on bot lane as well. So my bot lane is dead here and we have a pretty hard game to start off with. Raptors was taken there as well. Because Raptors was taken kind of towards the start of the game, I'm guessing like he probably cleared his Raptors. Maybe he even invaded my camps. Top lane's pretty spicy. We got Darius's flash. Let's ping his sums. Let's ping to be aware. And so my guess is that the Ekko is clearing with Raptors start either in Invaded me, or just doing a natural full clear. We'll see in about two seconds here if we got invaded or not. Nope, we're good. Let's look at mid lane. Let's get bot lane. So look at bot wave. Bot wave is going into them slowly. There's probably going to be a massive fight. Mid lane looks pretty spicy as well. My Tilia is getting pretty fucking cooked with this Pyke diff. My Tilia needs to catch this full wave. My Wukong needs to be careful now because the enemy Echo is coming towards the top side. Let's ninja ping up there. My Tilia is fine. She's going to just be a little bit more behind now. I might be able to come gank mid and pressure the Viktor. Pyke had a sweeper. If you notice, this Pyke has sweeper. The Viktor has to clear that full wave, which takes a while. So I'm confident I can kind of look to clear my crab first, guarantee the crab, and then come here. We'll danger ping in the top side to let him know that Ekko is literally there. Okay, we can just kill this Viktor here. My W is coming up in a second. I'll just flash through, W to kill at the end. My Taliyah is running for life. I kind of need to fix the wave. I'm going to fix Taliyah's wave here, and what I'll do to this Viktor Is I'm gonna chunk this guy out because Viktor just came back from base. I should be okay. And now the Viktor is half HP or like 75% HP. And that's really good for my Taliyah's game because she's gonna come back and the Viktor's gonna be kind of chunked. And although we have a really weak bot lane, our bot lane's losing pretty hard. Overall, we are in a pretty good game state all around. I think in this case, Hubris is actually viable. Bastion Breaker is kind of mid because I think we're gonna be team fighting. Hubris is okay. My top laner is winning. I'm doing good. I have a decent lead. I'm also thinking about maybe just sitting on this Long Sword and just using that as extra strength. Yep, the extra chunk on their mid laner definitely helped there. Like, I'm not coping, not coping. Top lane, top wave is coming into us. So we do want to try to help our top laner because he's winning. But playing with our top laner right now doesn't make much sense while we have all of our camps up. And although our bot lane is going to keep dying over and over and over again, the big thing to think about is we have a winning mid, winning top lane. So we have to play through a winning mid, winning top. Screw the bot lane. It is what it is. Now what we don't want to do is get our ourselves screwed over by playing around our bot lane. So after our full clear here, we're probably just gonna recall and then go towards the top side. Okay, let's finish all this. I'm gonna ping my top laner one time here because the enemy Ekko is probably up there. The Lucian is almost 3 times the CS. There's my top laner cooking. I don't have a big smite. We do have a hard-winning mid, and so in this position, there isn't too much for us to play for necessarily. We can look like mid, like one timer here. I think my Taliyah might have enough damage. Nice. And so we constantly want to play around this Taliyah. Taliyah is our giga wincon. And you see this Pyke? Pyke is returning towards the Raptor camp. So we need to play very, very, very careful here. I'm just going to walk away because Pyke has returned. And I'll just recall. Okay, and out of base, what we want to do is we want to assess the waves. So the Darius wave is coming into us now. And we have a wave right here that the Darius probably wants to kill. And so maybe, just maybe, we can look for a potential top kill right here on this timer. I'm gonna look one time here because the Darius definitely, definitely, definitely wants to potentially walk up and be able to play the game. He's gonna hit level 6 here as well, and the Wukong can't necessarily— yep, there we go. Beautiful. Missed my W, but it doesn't really matter. Not the end of the world. And the Ekko got the Dragon, but that's fine. We killed the Darius. And again, I'm playing with my winning top laner. So Ekko got the crab earlier. Fine. We're gonna go to red buff, Krugs, Raptors, so we can keep our, our Krugs and Raptors synced up the entire game. And that was just Darius's ghost. We can use our Smite. Use your Smite at the end of the camp here. And we're thinking about bot lane. Bot lane's gonna die again. That's fine. Again, we have a hard-winning mid and top.

Go another round.

Just play through them. Just play through our mid top. Fuck whatever's happening bot lane, that's all good. Like, it's not good, but it's all good, right? Like, it really is— it really sucks, and it's gonna make the game harder and harder and harder. But at the same time, like, what can you do? My Wukong just used ultimate in the top side, and so this, this doesn't feel good, but I'm probably gonna lose both objectives because the Pyke is gonna come up there towards the grubs, and we're gonna have a numbers disadvantage, and we're gonna have Wukong without ulti. If Wukong had ult, then at the very least we'd be able to probably get a reset and then I'd be able to pop off. But because Wukong has no ulti, I'm just gonna take the Gromp, I'm gonna take the blue buff, and I'm gonna take his Rapid Respawn. And like, it just is what it is. Again, Wukong has no ult, so we can't fight top lane while he has no R, so it's fine. Okay, now the Pyke is staying in between the mid-top side here. This Lucian is walking up so disrespectfully. But I think the honest solution is, although I want to go towards the illusion and kill this guy, I want to grab this one camp. And like, whether this guy lives or dies, like, it doesn't matter to me. I can chunk this guy pretty hard here. Use my Taliyah's move. And take this kill. Beautiful. And again, we're just giga playing around our Taliyah. Let's see if his Raptor camp is up. I have a full Yuumi with me right now. And so I feel pretty confident in like, we get Ekko's ult at least. That's pretty good for us all around. Good for my, my mid lane, good for Taliyah. Let's buy components to go for a Collector afterwards here. And let's go ahead and clear top down again. And we just want to play through our Taliyah. Twitch is just like— just ignore the Twitch. Just, just ignore him. Why Bluesmith this game? They're not high enough damage and they're all very squishy. And so I want to be able to travel the map faster to be able to jump them and be in the right position. If I'm in the right position and any of them face checking me, they die. Even the Darius, like, he's building armor, but even if he face— if they facecheck me, they die. And so blue is great to travel the map. Okay, so my, my bot side is gonna be lit up, right? The, the Pyke got full control over here, and so my bot camps are very likely gonna be lit the fuck up. And we need to be kind of careful and cautious of the enemy who's-its-face killing me. I do have Yuumi with me. Yuumi's level 5 though. Okay, my Wukong is looking up there. Pinging that he has no smite or no ulti. Okay, I want to go sit into the bot side here, pressure with my Taliyah, get into this bush. It didn't look like this was warded at all, so I can just sit here, wait, pressure. And as long as I'm with my Taliyah and we see the Lucian, we should be okay. Somebody wants to maybe face check at some point here. Sweeper?

Yep.

Okay, and then the idea is like we just maintain this control, we maintain this pressure, not to necessarily win the Raptor camp, but to win the— win this here.

Stand against—

Win this crab. The crab is nice. The crab is a good win here. I'm happy with this. So I'm gonna keep sitting in this bush. I have no camps up. The best thing we can do is just constantly keep applying pressure here to where if the enemies face check us or something, they will lose a lot of their HP. It's a bit rough for me. Unfortunately, he has Flash, so he perfectly flashed away from my spell there. And my Taliyah might be also getting cooked. Okay, that was Ekko's ulti. Pyke's flashing everything. The Pyke actually sidestepped the bush so perfectly there. That was actually— that's actually like well played. Just like straight up, like, you know, it is what it is. Well played. Wukong does not seem to want to be coming down towards the bot side towards us. Our Taliyah's cooking. Okay, now, now here's where people often mess up. They're like, do I go for the dragon while the, the Taliyah— while the Ekko is dead, or do I clear my camps? And the answer is, because my Twitch is 0/6, My ball is just like not playable towards. We just want to farm, play, make sure we get strong, make sure we're relevant in this game, and then eventually play through my Taliyah. But my Taliyah is absolutely cooking monster. We know Pyke has no flash. I think Echo flashed there as well. And so I want to go ahead and play into the top side. You guys want me to AFK? You're you're good, bro. Okay, I missed my smite. I think we should still be able to kill this guy. Beautiful. I smited him to kill him at the end there. And the reason why this is so good for us is because we get to take all of his topside camps. Your team has destroyed an turret. We also get to look for this kill. Beautiful. So we get both these kills here. Oh, I don't know why I pulled it over. Not very intelligent of me. Not, not, not very intelligent of me. Okay, we should probably look to recall after this. Ekko or Pyke is here. Okay, probably just, probably just give this away. I want to recall for my Collector, but again, my Wukong is really powerful, so play through my Wukong. I'm glad nobody's flaming this Twitch because the guy is just like, the guy's like trying. We double sweeped. All good. Okay, Wukong's here now. Waiting on Taliyah's combo. Oh my God, where's my Wukong going? I thought I thought my Wukong would come to me. Wukong engaged on the Lucian and the Darius, and then and then left. Oh fuck! Okay, I kind of misplayed that. I kind of misplayed that, but like I totally thought my Wukong was coming to help me.

Oh fuck!

That's not good. Enemy double kill. We need, we need the, the Wukong to just play with me. If Wukong played with me there, we would fucking wipe the floor. But they're, they're just overstaying, like giga griefing here. I don't know what they're— I don't know what Dumb and Dumber are thinking. Fuck, I think I showed on the bot wave there. Should be fine. I'm just gonna keep showing, I don't care. I have no ulti, but that should be fine. We're just gonna walk away here. With my Taliyah's help here, we should probably kill this guy. Okay, we can probably go a little further here.

Strength above all.

Can pull this in. I can't believe that Darius has a frozen fucking heart already. Like, that's fucking crazy. My Wukong's getting jumped. It's fine. Let's look to recall here. I look to recall and then go towards the top side and keep farming. Okay, Viktor's gonna go towards the top side. Lucian's also gonna hit this mid turret.

Fuck.

I kind of need to be on the mid side here.

An enemy.

Stop this guy from taking the turrets. Very important here. My Taliyah solo kill is down there, which is good. My Twitch is 1 and 10. Is this bannable? He's trying. I don't know.

The black mist flows from me like a tide. At times it ebbs, but now we surge forward. They touch me.

We kill this guy here. Oh my God, E! Oh my God, I didn't use my flash and my ulti there to kill the Lucian. Genuinely so sad, genuinely so sad. Dude, that Pyke— when Pyke hit me over the wall, I should have ulted down to kill the Lucian, but I thought that I could just kill the Pyke. But Pyke is one of the most annoying champions in the game to kill. Like, actually, this Pyke has fucked me over so many fights in a row. What an annoying champion. I hate that champion so much. It's a Hextech Soul. Which is important. So for us to try to stop them from getting Wukong, if Wukong with his build just fights with us, and I need to, I need to watch this Wukong. So Wukong doesn't want to watch me, doesn't want to play around me. I need, I need to play around Wukong then. It's not like a happy way of playing the game, but like we just have to adjust because our Wukong isn't very aware of what I need. So I just need to play through him. And I think we should still try to play for this, but we need our Wukong with us. And I think we just go through the bot side here. Okay, my Twitch needs to run for his life again. We maintain control here through the bot side. Okay, that, that Echo's on a perk too, but let's finish this here. Wait, this Wukong is like actually just like fucking killing everything.

Wait, wow.

I don't think you live though, bro. Yeah, I don't think you live after doing that. Too disrespectful there.

Okay.

Wait, our Wukong just killed everything there. This guy like didn't give a fuck. This guy just like flashed in and killed everybody. Why go LDR? Just because their Darius is building all these items, and that guy will, will for sure kill himself in one of these fights. And so having the right components to kill that guy is going to be very nice, because that guy will give me free resets in these team fights. I want to go reconnect with the Taliyah here. We're gonna go for the IE. Okay, this guy's just face checking into us, so we'll kill him. I get Darius is strong. Wait, what? Darius is not strong. The first clarification, Darius is going to literally give me free resets. Like, like right there, if I don't have LDR, it takes way longer to kill him. This guy will literally die to me over and over and over again. And so we want to Abuse him for that. We want to kind of kill him over and over again. And Shieldbow doesn't really do anything for killing their weakest member. Shieldbow doesn't actually do anything. I need to kill things. Shieldbow doesn't help you kill things as much as LDR does. Okay, I can't just push bot lane in. Lucian has no flash, that's good. We're gonna keep farming. I'm like giga strong. I'm gonna go back. Ekko's gonna run to the red buff, so with my Taliyah I can come. Yep, this is very good.

It is such a shame.

Then we have this Viktor here in the mid lane.

Fuck.

Oh, that's so sad. They're all there. Oh, that's so sad. We hit no, we hit no. It's fine. Oh, that's so sad. I couldn't kill anything there with my ulti, unfortunately. I thought I thought we could kill them. Honestly, it was so close. I thought I could kill them. They're all very low. I think my Wukong just kills it, kills everything there. Just take the take the cone over and just fuck them up. He needed to do that significantly earlier. Okay, so Taliyah still very strong to play through. We still want to play around her. This Darius could be overextending here. Let's go ahead and look for one quick timer. He wants— he's gonna hit this turret. 1,000% he will hit this turret. And with my LDR, I should be able to kill him.

Wow.

And the crazy part is how close that was. Yeah, I don't know what this Yuumi's up to. Yuumi's like typing or something. I don't even think Yuumi's typing. Yuumi's just not here. Did Yuumi think that they were on me or something? Like, I don't know what the fuck that was. Okay, we killed the Darius though. We grab— I, I'm just gonna stay in base and watch. Beautifully found a pick here. I'm so strong as the— as the Lucian. Like, I'm so fed as Lucian, and I just have Yuumi on top of me the entire time. Yeah, I don't know if we can end though. I'm out of here. I'm gonna go to the dragon. No, Taliyah, don't die. No, Taliyah, don't die. It's fine. I probably— I could have— probably could have stayed to help the Taliyah. All good, all good, all good. Let's buy the shield bow. And then we can go recall and then go topside and then one v nine this game. Bring me. Give the Wukong the red. Dude, my Twitch is actually like AFK. My Twitch said actually, actually guys, like, like I am just a plague. I just like I won't play.

What is lost?

I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what I'm doing. My Wukong— my Wukong went top lane. I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know what I'm doing. I lost my mind. My Wukong went top lane and I fought in the bot side with my Twitch and Yuumi. I need to stop. I need to stop or we lose. We lose the game. They're fucking— Pyke is too fucking annoying for me. Like, that champion is too fucking good at stopping me from doing the— like, playing the game. Genuinely, that guy is so fucking annoying.

Whoa!

Your turret has been destroyed. Wait, what? This Ekko just— yeah, this Ekko just fucking inted. Okay, huge. I'll go ahead and buy— honestly, I need to like travel the map faster. Like, I know you guys want like me to go Gluttonous. I know it's— but if I need to travel the map quicker, it's so much better. Like, move speed is so powerful. Fuck, doing this by myself is so scary. Now you're ready to prowl. Oh fuck, I didn't mean to tap W there. Whoops. Okay, we're not gonna possess. I'm gonna drop our E first here. I can't, I can't even make it to the possession.

Fuck.

Fine. No, no, no, no, no. Okay, I found this guy too. I found this guy too. I found this guy too. That's game right there, baby. We sit in the bush. That's the bush trapping method right there. That's how you win games as Fog of War. That's how you win games like on Viego, by the way. This is what you need to do. You need to pressure bushes. Wow, the, the, like, who int's harder? The Darius? The Darius or my Twitch? The Darius or my Twitch? Who int's harder? Who can play better? And this is like, this is why you like I don't know, actually. Actually, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. What a game. What a fucking game. 114-3 versus 216-3. What a game. We did it though, guys. We won a banger game. Let's jump into another game here. I'll show you guys the Challenger thought process. That was a wonderful 1 for 1, but let's jump into one more here, guys. All right, guys, let's jump into another game here where I want to walk through you guys the Challenger mentality, what I'm thinking about as we play. We have a winning bot lane, so a bit of a different Situation from my last game. So last game, obviously we had a really, really, really awful ball lane. This game we have a winning ball lane so far, and so the game kind of shifts in the way that I'm thinking about things. I want to try to accelerate and stack objectives and keep my tempo high. So playing through my winning ball lane will be the key. It's really it's it's really nice because I can sequence down towards the bot side as well, and we have a nice nice flow. We are against a Kindred. One thing to notice here, guys, is mid is trading really, really, really. Really hard. So mid will be spicy, and if there's any point in time where I can impact mid lane, that will be great. Uh, it is a lock though, so it's relatively hard to make plays there. My bot lane's decided to, uh, lose the game after winning, I think. Yeah, they don't even hit level 2 here. That's all good. So even bot lane, no longer winning. Uh, is the wave okay? The wave at least is coming towards them, but my bot lane should have probably just recalled for conditions. We're gonna keep full clearing down. I do not want to go for a mid gank Early. I just want to keep my full clear off, and we're going to go ahead and grab ourselves a level 4 bot crab, probably. Am I bot? My mid laner— yikes, it's so close actually. Holy shit, my mid laner is probably dead as fuck. I should probably ping him once here. Uh, this bot crab looking at my bot lane, I'd probably just give up the bot crab. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, what you doing, bro? What? One for one. I guess the enemy jungler, the enemy laner loses a full wave though. That's huge. Yo, Pores, thank you for the prime, man. Again, send your accounts after the game, guys. I'll take a look after. Great, we actually went to the top crab. I don't know if the Kindred's up here. If the Kindred is up here, I will win the crab. But the Kindred's bot side, then like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. She skips her blue buff too. You know that like SpongeBob guy laughing? Like SpongeBob laughing? That's literally me right now. Why is the rest so cringe, bro? Bro, what the hell, chat? What the hell, Swindly?

That's fucked up, bro.

My bot lane's losing too. Okay, just recall. The Kindred's gonna win the bot crab. Just recall here. If this lock cancels me, I'm gonna be so sad. Okay, we're good. Okay, just return to my clear top down. Kindred's gonna get the bot crab respawn. That's fine. Let's just, let's just keep good tempo. What we can do potentially is like maybe go for it. Like, I can't because it's warded and that's probably warded up there too. So let's just, let's just take the Gromp here. Let's just farm. All good. All good. All right, I lied, guys. We aren't ahead this game, but we have a first crab. Right, so we have a crab. So our game is secure. At the very least, we have a secured game. Maybe we can play for his Gromp respawn possibly while he goes to his Krugs and his Raptors, or we'll have like a tempo advantage to maybe make a play somewhere. I'm thinking about where I can find an angle on the map to do something because the Kindred wants to return to her Krugs and her Raptors. My mid laner is psycho trading. He has a Vamp Scepter. Super duper interesting. Okay. Yeah. So what I want to do here Is potentially look mid lane. That shit looks awful. I lied. That shit looks awful. That guy looks dead as fuck. No matter what he does there, I think he's dead. Okay, I can probably try to take this really quickly and then run away. He's picking Kindred as if Kindred did something there, and he's smiling at me now. Fuck, man. League players are so fucking awesome. Okay, can try to do something here. Can kill the Swain here. Swain has flash as well, that's crazy. We have to just, we have to just go and get ourselves killed because the Pantheon's here. That's fine. It's a 3 for 3 and they used all their sums there. So that, that it is what it is. We, we took the Pantheon flash there as well. So, or the Pantheon ulti and everything. It's all ultimately pretty decent, pretty decent stuff. The fact that I had to use my ulti there is, it like is what it is. Okay. I'm gonna go for my top camps or this top crab. This guy's fucking dead. Thing is, this Kindred's probably going to be up here too. Fuck, man. An enemy has been slain. Fuck, I missed. Oh my God, she has no— she has no— she has no Q for a little bit. She shouldn't. Come on, go, go, go, go, go! Fuck. Okay, whatever. It is what it is. I missed my W on the Kindred, which is really bad. But the Urgot against Kindred ult is really powerful. Yeah, there's definitely a way for me to play a little better. We're gonna go clear all of our top camps. We're gonna clear all the way down towards the bot side. My Urgot has 2 kills now. He's doing good. Okay, so in this game, like, my Twitch actually is doing okay as well. I think the, the way to lose this game is if I just start doing objectives. We have a really good, like, way to sequence all the way down towards the bot side, a really clean path all the way down. And so I'm just gonna go ahead and clear all my camps. And if Kindred does this, then I'll use that opportunity to go invade her bot camps and say that, hey, like, you can go do that, I'll go invade your bot camps then. We're gonna skip our Raptors. While we do this, we don't want to fight her up there. Technically, I think skipping the Raptor makes the most sense, so I'm just gonna skip it. Go down. These guys seem dead as fuck, so there's no play for me to be made down there. It is what it is. My Twitch is also level 5, so like, it sucks. So we're just gonna go ahead and do the Wolf camp. We see Kindred coming down. I don't think we can grab unless, unless she ganks my mid laner, which she might be. My Twitch is getting jumped here as well. But I can probably— oh, she's gonna go for my Raptor camp. It's fine. Okay, we grab both of the camps here, and then when this guy face checks us, we can jump her here. She has no ulti right now, so we can kill her. Beautiful.

Huh.

Take the possession and walk through this way.

Quitting is mine.

Gonna walk away from this guy here. Beautiful, we found an escape route as well. Yep, keep trolling me. How is that my fault there, by the way? Like, what did I do wrong? We got Pantheon ulted. This guy's literally a tweaker for zero. If Kindred comes, we have to ward there. Like, this, this Yone is literally Tweeker. Okay, so playing through bot lane is pretty rough. I do want to recall for my item completion then. Maybe the, the Zyra dies to the poison. Nice, they got one kill at least. Are they buying armor? They are buying some armor. Interesting.

Okay.

I'm gonna go for the kill. So because they're buying armor in this instance, the Kindred at least, and generally Swain and Zyra are hard to kill, what I'm going to do is I'm going to buy myself some, some Mortal Reminder, right? Because they have so much healing. This guy just keeps smiling at me. He does not seem happy at all. But I, look, I didn't do anything to him, bro.

Okay.

Fuck, I wanted that cannon. Gonna get it though. Okay, maybe we can try to kill this guy top lane and see if this Pantheon's killable, possibly. This Locke has E though, no? Yeah, this Locke will just E away. Okay, so here what I'm going to do is I'm going to try to take— oh wait, wow, the Twitch is actually strong. The Twitch is actually pretty strong here.

Nice.

Okay, so what we wanted to do is I think the Pantheon is coming mid. Nope, he's going top lane.

Oh, he's coming mid.

Okay, the dragon is just there. It's like, it's fine, just, just drop the dragon. It is what it is. Okay, we can kill this Pantheon here. Beautiful. We killed this guy. Let's recall and let's go for our bot camps. Twitch gets a kill here. Yes, Twitch! Yes, bot lane! Okay, my bot lane's winning as well. That's huge. Very likely we're not gonna have our Raptor camp, right? Because the Kindred's gonna be on it already. Oh, that is sad, guys. I'm gonna be honest, that is fucking sad to witness and watch there. Yeah, okay, so she did take it. Wait, the Twitch got the kill though. What the hell? Twitch actually killed her. Collector, Collector and the poison, I guess. Crazy. Now this Kindred's probably on this dragon. Kindred's going mid to kill the Yone. Never mind, which means I have to catch a fat wave. I have to escape here. I don't want to die. I'm gonna lose my entire topside here too. Fuck.

Take until there is nothing left.

Wow, they're actually— they actually came all the way down there. Wait, wow, they actually came— wait, the Kindred was behind me there, guys. Wait, not in a million years did I think Kindred would be in my bot side. And not in the top lane there. Wait, really? Okay, this is a really fucking hard game. I'm not getting any of the gold and my tempo just feels pretty bad this game too. Okay, nice kill from Yone though. I think this is definitely a winnable game, but it's looking hard. It's not easy, to say the least. I definitely need a sweeper, I think, to sweep and find and just start to poke people, pick people off. But look, we're all AD. I just also realized this. We're all AD, so we need this Mortal Reminder fast. Yeah, they're gonna buy armor. Like, the Swain is gonna buy a Frozen Heart and like, fuck, guys. I think that's the biggest reason why this game, I'm realizing, is gonna get harder and harder, is because we are all AD. That's fine, we have a Black Cleaver on our top laner. We have, um, Twitch. Twitch better be buying an LDR soon enough. And our Yone is gonna buy an LDR. So we'll be okay. We have champs that can at least itemize into armor pen. So it should be fine. This guy lost his fucking mind. This Alistar is literally so fucking braindead. All good. All good. It's not good, but all good. I'm just gonna farm my camps. I'm gonna hit all my camps here. Can you go? Can you go? Am I really getting fucking invaded here? It's fine. We stopped the Kindred from getting the mark there.

What?

What the fuck was that? Okay, y'all are fucking dead. We'll push the wave here and then we'll go ahead and— that's good, that's very good. That's a way back into the game. We can look for all the bot camps here as well. Yep, we have bot camps here. We dropped a 5 AD, nice. Yeah, the Twitch realized too. Nice little bonus. No, I was literally the same. I was literally the same as Twitch. I'm like, wait a second. Oh fuck, we have 5 AD. Also, what the fuck is wrong with this Alistar? Or maybe we can kill someone here. They double deploy into the bot side here. They double deploy. What, what I mean by that is there, there are 2 solo laners deployed onto the side lane, which is pretty fucking crazy. Like, crazily well done in the sense that like, we're fucked. We're fucked. We're fucked if that happens. But it's all good. It's all good. Says we should buy LDR when we're playing against tanks, but I'm buying LDR when enemy has no tanks, so they're just going to buy armor. Like, buy, buy armor pen when they buy armor items. And in this game they're buying armor items. I think this guy's actually griefing the game, by the way, intentionally or something.

I'm calling screen.

I need to wait. I need to wait on the side here. I can't just like run in, otherwise it's fucked. And we use the possession there. That's what I mean by using the possession. By the way, to stay alive and to win your fights, use the possessions. Bro, are my Zyra plants brain dead? Why did they not hit the damn fucking Herald? Genuinely, are my Zyra plants actually just like, what the fuck was that? You're just pulling it off the rip? Dude, some people are just not very smart. Never mind, he's too smart for— he's too good for his own good. An IQ too high. An IQ too high is genuinely like— is his IQ just that high or something? Because like, holy moly. Fuck, I have to wait. I have to kite and wait. I can't just run in.

Beautiful.

Okay, you can watch out this camp here as well. And let's go ahead and farm for a— what is it called? What is that item called, guys? Shieldbow? Yeah, shieldbow. Okay, so let's go ahead and look at the tab screen. This Locke is important to kill. That Zyra is actually good fed too. Thank goodness. You're just so ugly, bro. He's pinging Kindred. He's gonna give me like a smiley face again, bro. No way, you guys are also crazy. Okay, wait, my Urgot stole the red buff. Why, bro? Urgot or Twitch, who's gonna use— make use of the red buff? Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the fuck was that? Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What the hell? I don't know. That was weird. Nice, we killed this guy. Secure that. We can go find this, this guy here. Okay, never mind, I can't. Like, the fucked up part is like you're playing Viego, like you can't actually beat him 1v1 there. You have to go slow. So just take the camps then, it's fine. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful stuff. Lowkey, we might be able to end the game. I have Herald.

Oh fuck.

Yo team, I'm 1 HP. Give me the fuck out of here. Yo, that lock is fucking mental, bro. Still doesn't look too good. I, I would, I wouldn't have wanted us to do this. Wait, I'm coming. Wait, they're actually griefing. We have fucking Shelly here. Come on, Shelly, let's go! We have Shelly.

Bang!

Yo, can I click? Grab this objective here. I gotcha. Let's go invis here. What up, bitch? What up, bitch? Bang! And that's game right there, baby. And that's game. And so no matter how fucking dumb your teammates are, you can always win the game. Find your wincon, itemize ever so slightly a little bit better, and make sure you find angles. Like, a lot of this game was me finding positional angles to win the game. What I'm going to do is I'm going to do a little mini review for you guys as to how I was able to win these 2 games. So I'm going to talk about like the 2 most important plays this game that will kind of show you guys how I was able to turn these games into wins. All right, guys, I want to highlight the things I did in these games to win. They were very hard games. So what did I do to come on top even though things were difficult? So first things first, in the first game, what I did is I sat in bushes and I pressured people who were face checking and trying to control the map. And we get this Ekko here and, you know, the sequence after I end up dying and yada, yada, yada. I misplay. But the point is I am putting myself in a position where somehow I can actually win the game if I just play well mechanically. And so there's another play over here where towards the end of the game, what happens is I end up getting a super nice play. We kill them all. Great. And I end up sitting in the topside bush somewhere after dying. Like the game gets a little harder. I end up sitting in this topside bush right here. And we get this. So first things first, look, look at this. They are looking at the blue buff here and they're looking at my Taliyah. So watch, Taliyah is walking in, Taliyah is walking in and she gets hooked and I'm going all the way around to play for the Viktor. So that's first things first. Second thing here is I go for the Ekko, obviously get his flash. Great. We put it— we put a pink ward in that bush and I go here and I sit in this bush and I wait and somebody will face check. Somebody wants to control this bush and then boom, that ends the game. That wins us the game. So when you're playing champion like Viego, you have to look for picks. You have to look for plays where you're sitting in bushes and you're playing fog of war lines. Actually, let's watch this fight here. I think it's right around here where if you can see me, if you see me here, look, look, I'm waiting. I'm waiting. I'm waiting. Keeping my conditions, not using my ult. I'm waiting. I'm waiting. I'm not flashing in. I'm not losing my mind. I'm saving my conditions. And then what happens here is I use my E, my Twitch blue tree gets to here, and I get myself a massive play using fog of war. Somehow that guy like, oh, he had a sweeper going, so he found me. right away. And then we kill everybody here. This is just like good/bad Viego play. Like, I, I played the Viego portion right. I just missed my ultimate. And so Fog of War, just using your conditions properly to play fog, has been the biggest game changer here. And the next thing here is, look at this. So my Urgot's coming towards mid lane and I want to be mid lane as well, but I want to pressure a Fog of War position here. So what I do is I sit here, I pink ward this bush because there's a ward below me, and I kind of sit here and I wait. And I'm just like sitting at this angle. I'm sitting this angle and I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm waiting. And so I do this for literally the next 10 seconds of the game where I'm just like sitting. I do a camp and I sit and I wait and I wait and I wait. 15 seconds go by, 15 seconds go by, 15 seconds go by. My Twitch is now looking mid. I'm coming towards mid. They have no ward here. Disrespectful. Boom, we get that pick and then we get the Baron. We end the game. We pressure the end of the game and the rest of the game is kind of like history. But notice how in both of these games I'm using Fog of War. A lot. I'm making sure that I'm farmed up, I'm strong, I'm able to play the game. Hopefully this kind of rundown of what I did in the mid-late game was a little bit helpful. Let me know if you guys want to do a deeper dive on games like this.
