Pretty much the title. I'm a GM/Challenger Swain Mid player, peaked Rank 177 on the NA server and I'm the highest ranked Swain Mid in NA. Interested in getting into coaching.

Sessions will be ~45 minutes where we will go over your league history, champion pool, and ranked goals. We will then review one VOD of your choosing that you bring to the session (must be a POV recording, can use an autorecorder or OBS and upload unlisted to YT), and I'll identify your biggest issues and gives you the process to fix them. I'll send you the notes from our session afterward.

If you are interested shoot me a DM on Discord (ID: zodiarch) with the following information:

• Current Rank and Goal Rank
• Champion Pool
• OPGG Link

I'll choose up to 5 people (at first) who I feel like I can provide the most value to and we'll setup a time for us to hop on a call. Note that I will be recording these sessions and possibly uploading them to YouTube. I can review Swain Bot/Top as well but I'm less knowledgeable about the details than with Mid.

Hey summonerschool,

I've started doing some VOD reviews for other people recently, and a pattern I notice across elos all the way to my games in GM/Chall is people losing fights and throwing games due to overchasing and overforcing. I made a video going over a simple yet important concept that allows you to create advantageous fights and more easily close out games when ahead. Hope you guys enjoy!

Not really an official AMA or anything but I'm happy to answer any questions you guys may have! This is a goal I set 6 months ago and I'm really happy to have achieved it.

Shameless content plug for those interested (I'm planning to be more active and I have a few things in the works).

Fighting is the cornerstone of League of Legends, and improving at it is one of the fastest ways to climb. But in my experience this skill is often not talked about, and overshadowed by discussions about macro. But the truth is, it doesn't matter if your strategy is better than the opponent, if they fight better than you, they will most likely win.

The problem is that getting better at this skill is largely just building intuition and muscle memory on your champion. But to help this process, I made a video breaking down my thought process before, and during fights, including assessing threats, wincons, and making a plan for every fight. The idea being that by seeing the thought process of someone in high elo, viewers can slowly start thinking about some of this stuff, and improve your fighting intuition. This video deals specifically with mid-late game teamfights, but I can make more around early skirmishing/laning sequences.etc in the future.

Would appreciate input on if this style of video is helpful/informative.

Boom waddup Swain gang,

Been trying Rocketbelt Swain for a bit in NA Grandmaster. It honestly feels pretty good and the synergy it has with Rylai's really helps Swain's biggest issues of:

- Getting outranged and kited

- Landing E without setup

The dash closes the gap breaking people's tethering to help you get in range easier, and also procs Rylai's slow to enable you to follow up with E/W, allowing for some insane and unpredictable long range engages.

I go more in depth in the video, but I think it could be really good, especially with DFT coming out to offset the lack of item effect. LMK what you guys think!
