How To Outfarm EVERYONE On Gold Lane — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Gold laners have to do 2 things
2. 0:01to outfarm their opponent:
3. 0:03Farm and survive.
4. 0:04Everyone can do those 2 things,
5. 0:06but not well enough to farm
6. 0:07thousands of gold more than the enemy.
7. 0:09So that’s why I’ve put together
8. 0:114 steps that will teach you
9. 0:12the secrets to farming and surviving.
10. 0:14Step 1: Laning Phase
11. 0:17The laning phase is where
12. 0:18a lot of players fail.
13. 0:20They would either make a mistake
14. 0:21and lose, or they never know
15. 0:22how to properly use their advantages
16. 0:24to win their lane.
17. 0:26Avoiding both scenarios
18. 0:27is essential to outfarming your opponent.
19. 0:29So how do you avoid them?
20. 0:31First, decide your playstyle.
21. 0:33This is so you don’t end up
22. 0:34feeding the enemy,
23. 0:35but it can be important too
24. 0:37if you want to reduce their farm.
25. 0:39Whether your starting playstyle
26. 0:40should be aggressive or passive
27. 0:41is decided by your hero and enemy.
28. 0:44So during the draft,
29. 0:45try to wait until the enemy gold laner
30. 0:47has chosen their hero
31. 0:48so you can choose a hero
32. 0:49you believe is good against theirs.
33. 0:51If not, then you can decide
34. 0:53your playstyle with this list
35. 0:54which shows the different types of gold laners:
36. 0:57Strong early game and weak early game.
37. 0:59Gold laners with a strong early game
38. 1:01tend to be able to play aggressive,
39. 1:03while gold laners with a weak early game
40. 1:05should play passive/safe.
41. 1:07But figuring out who’s stronger
42. 1:08between two strong early game gold laners
43. 1:11requires knowledge and experience.
44. 1:13So I would suggest playing safe
45. 1:15if you don’t know.
46. 1:16But if you can’t counterpick the enemy,
47. 1:18you can choose a gold laner
48. 1:19who’s harder to gank
49. 1:20such as Beatrix, Lunox, or Natan
50. 1:22with their ultimates.
51. 1:24But if you want to play other marksmen,
52. 1:26then go for it.
53. 1:27If you know you’re the stronger gold laner,
54. 1:29play aggressive and freeze their lane,
55. 1:31using these two methods:
56. 1:32The first method forces the enemy gold laner
57. 1:35to either approach closer
58. 1:36and get damaged by you,
59. 1:37or stay back,
60. 1:38where they lose their farm.
61. 1:40If the enemy rushes to clear their wave,
62. 1:42you can clear all the minions
63. 1:44except for the last minion,
64. 1:45which you pull closer to your side
65. 1:47until the next minion wave arrives.
66. 1:49This delays the flow
67. 1:50and positions the minions closer to you.
68. 1:53This method of freezing also works
69. 1:54for the passive playstyle,
70. 1:56where you freeze to play safer
71. 1:57and make the enemy more vulnerable to ganks.
72. 2:00However, be careful freezing the first wave
73. 2:02that spawns because you won’t have level 2,
74. 2:05while the enemy can attack you
75. 2:06with their level 2 advantage.
76. 2:08The second method is where  you’re the stronger gold laner,
77. 2:11and you zone them whenever they try
78. 2:12to approach closer to the minion waves
79. 2:14in the middle of the lane.
80. 2:16Unlike the first method,
81. 2:17the second method keeps the enemy
82. 2:19under their turret,
83. 2:20which prevents the enemy gold
84. 2:22from farming the crab.
85. 2:23But keep in mind that other enemies
86. 2:25might gank you as you’re very vulnerable.
87. 2:27Now, speaking of farming the crab,
88. 2:29here’s an important tip
89. 2:30that will make you farm way faster:
90. 2:32Ask yourself this:
91. 2:34How many times do you take the crab per game?
92. 2:36The gold crab spawns at 42 seconds into the game
93. 2:39and respawns one minute after being taken.
94. 2:42Killing it grants around 100-300 gold,
95. 2:45but it will stop spawning  after being taken 7 times.
96. 2:48You should prioritize it as a small objective
97. 2:51by arriving there before it spawns
98. 2:52and using the game timer.
99. 2:54When it is taken, add 1 minute to the game timer
100. 2:57and try to arrive early to secure it
101. 2:59before the enemy gold laner or jungler does.
102. 3:02But remember to watch out for ganks,
103. 3:04and don’t die for it.
104. 3:05You can usually farm the gold crab
105. 3:07if you are better at last hitting than the enemy.
106. 3:09For example, in this clip, I play Harith
107. 3:12and have a better last hit than Karrie,
108. 3:14and because of that, I was  able to get 4 gold crabs.
109. 3:17The 4 gold crabs equaled 547 gold.
110. 3:21Step 2: Map Awareness
111. 3:23The other important part of the laning phase
112. 3:25is map awareness.
113. 3:27For example, your playstyle can change
114. 3:29depending on nearby enemies or allies,
115. 3:31and you would know
116. 3:32whether to farm the gold crab or not.
117. 3:34So, let's start with how to act
118. 3:36according to each enemy.
119. 3:37If the enemy jungler is missing,
120. 3:39you can literally predict their gank path
121. 3:41by using the scoreboard trick
122. 3:43which allows you to know
123. 3:44the buff they start at level 1.
124. 3:46If they gain 20 gold and then 100 gold,
125. 3:49it means they’re taking the purple buff
126. 3:50and are usually rotating to the top lane.
127. 3:53If they instantly gain 120 gold,
128. 3:55it means they’re taking the orange buff
129. 3:57and are usually rotating to the bottom lane.
130. 4:00So, if the enemy jungler is rotating to your lane,
131. 4:03play safe.
132. 4:04But if not, you still need to consider
133. 4:06the enemy mid laner and roamer.
134. 4:08Pay attention to which lane they’re rotating to
135. 4:10while you have vision on them on Mid Lane.
136. 4:12When they’re missing, you can often
137. 4:14figure out their position on the map
138. 4:15by looking at their direction
139. 4:16right before you lose vision of them.
140. 4:18But remember that they can still
141. 4:20change their direction after  you lose vision on them.
142. 4:23Play safe until they’ve  been spotted somewhere else
143. 4:25and do not take any risks.
144. 4:27The enemy mid laner might also be on Mid Lane,
145. 4:29while the enemy roamer is  camping in nearby bushes.
146. 4:33Watch out for the enemy roamer
147. 4:34if he uses Flicker as battle spell,
148. 4:36or if he’s Khufra or Franco,
149. 4:38who can ambush you from far away.
150. 4:40Next up is how to act
151. 4:41according to your allies.
152. 4:43Just like the enemy roamer,  jungler, and mid laner,
153. 4:46your allies can gank your lane too.
154. 4:48If you notice on the map
155. 4:49that your allies are rotating to gank you,
156. 4:51you should try to bait the enemy gold laner out.
157. 4:54But keep in mind that you should only try to bait
158. 4:56and approach the enemy gold
159. 4:57when you’re sure of where the other enemies are.
160. 5:00Don’t blindly follow up on your ally.
161. 5:02Use the first method of freezing
162. 5:04to make the enemy easier to gank.
163. 5:06Also, if the ally jungler is farming
164. 5:08towards your path,
165. 5:09don’t take the common jungle,
166. 5:11as it is required for him
167. 5:12to reach level 4 to gank.
168. 5:14Step 3: Avoiding Early Game Deaths
169. 5:17Now that you can figure out
170. 5:19when you’re getting ganked
171. 5:19by using your map awareness,
172. 5:21you need to know what to actually do
173. 5:23in those situations to avoid early game deaths.
174. 5:26So here are 4 important tips:
175. 5:28The first tip is about surviving ganks
176. 5:30from multiple enemies.
177. 5:32A lot of players believe that it’s impossible
178. 5:34to survive from 3-4 enemies
179. 5:36and blame their teammates for not helping.
180. 5:38But sometimes it’s actually possible,
181. 5:40if you know what to do.
182. 5:41This is up to your map awareness
183. 5:43and vision from your team,
184. 5:44but if you notice enemies are missing,
185. 5:46abandon your turret rather than die defending it,
186. 5:49where you hide and position yourself in this bush.
187. 5:51This prevents you from getting trapped
188. 5:53under the turret for when they come.
189. 5:55But what should you do
190. 5:56if it’s too late and you’re trapped
191. 5:57under the turret where the enemies surround you?
192. 6:00Well, the second tip is to position yourself
193. 6:02where you block the minion wave
194. 6:04before they enter the turret range,
195. 6:05which will make it harder for them to dive
196. 6:07under your turret,
197. 6:08because you’ll only have to defend one side
198. 6:10instead of two sides.
199. 6:12Your main goal here is to waste their time
200. 6:14as much as possible and clear the wave
201. 6:16to prevent the turret from getting pushed.
202. 6:18The third tip is to be careful of these bushes
203. 6:20when walking back to your lane
204. 6:22if enemies are missing.
205. 6:23This is especially important if you recalled
206. 6:25or died while there’s still time
207. 6:27before the first turtle spawns.
208. 6:30During this time, the enemy jungler
209. 6:32might be farming near your lane,
210. 6:33such as at the Fire Beetle or Horned Lizard,
211. 6:36if your own jungler isn’t,
212. 6:37because that’s the normal farming route
213. 6:39when rotating to Gold Lane.
214. 6:41If they notice you're missing from your lane,
215. 6:43they might camp to ambush you
216. 6:44before rotating to the turtle.
217. 6:46In this situation, your best option
218. 6:48is to avoid your lane until the turtle spawns
219. 6:50so the enemy jungler leaves your lane.
220. 6:53The fourth and last tip is getting tier 1 items.
221. 6:56These items can save you
222. 6:57from getting killed by the enemy jungler
223. 6:59in the early game.
224. 7:00You can opt for Dreadnaught Armor
225. 7:02when the enemy jungler is physical damage,
226. 7:04such as Fanny, Hayabusa, or Ling.
227. 7:07Or opt for Magic Blade
228. 7:08if it’s Julian or a mage
229. 7:10that’s constantly ganking you.
230. 7:11But keep in mind that the items
231. 7:13don’t suit all types of gold laners,
232. 7:15such as Harith or Lunox.
233. 7:18Step 4: Mid Game Rotation
234. 7:20The laning phase isn’t the only time
235. 7:22where you can outfarm your opponent.
236. 7:24There’s the mid game too.
237. 7:26If you already have a lead,
238. 7:27you can farm even more,
239. 7:29but if you’re behind in gold,
240. 7:30there’s still a chance to come back.
241. 7:32So, after the laning phase is over,
242. 7:34you’ll usually face one of these 2 scenarios:
243. 7:37One, You lost your 1st turret.
244. 7:39Two, You pushed the enemy’s 1st turret.
245. 7:42In the first scenario, remain safe
246. 7:44under the 2nd turret
247. 7:46unless your lane is frozen by the enemy,
248. 7:48and don’t go too far out
249. 7:49if enemies are missing.
250. 7:51Since the minion waves take longer
251. 7:53to arrive at your 2nd turret,
252. 7:54you can rotate back and forth
253. 7:56between your lane and the Mid Lane
254. 7:57to clear both minion waves
255. 7:59while your mage is busy
256. 8:00with ganking Exp Lane.
257. 8:02This is what I call double laning,
258. 8:04which will help you catch up
259. 8:05to the enemy team’s gold.
260. 8:07However, when you travel between the lanes,
261. 8:09use safe paths as enemies
262. 8:11now have more map control and can camp you.
263. 8:14In the second scenario,
264. 8:15you should either stay on your lane
265. 8:16and farm gold crabs,
266. 8:18or swap lanes with your Exp Laner
267. 8:20to continue pushing turrets.
268. 8:23In SoloQ, I would suggest
269. 8:25staying on your own lane
270. 8:26rather than swapping
271. 8:27if your Exp Laner is unreliable,
272. 8:29as it requires timing.
273. 8:31You also shouldn’t swap lanes before 5:10
274. 8:33because the first 10 waves on Gold Lane
275. 8:35grants you 45% extra gold.
276. 8:38Now, when it comes to the turtle,
277. 8:40you should rotate if your team contests it.
278. 8:42But don’t go there first,
279. 8:43and instead wait for your team or roamer
280. 8:45to go who can provide vision for you,
281. 8:47as other enemies could be camping
282. 8:49in nearby bushes.
283. 8:51This applies to all types of teamfights:
284. 8:53never go near bushes first if it’s dangerous.
285. 8:56But even so, you still want  to keep a long distance,
286. 8:58since enemies can attack you either way,
287. 9:00if they ignore your roamer.
288. 9:02If your team doesn’t contest the turtle,
289. 9:04then continue farming and try to split push
290. 9:06if you can.
291. 9:07If you’re winning your lane,
292. 9:09continue to prioritize farming the gold crab.
293. 9:11And that’s pretty much it.
294. 9:13Thanks for watching.
