Perfect Mage Rotations Explained in 12 Minutes — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00Be honest, are you really [music] still
2. 0:01struggling to rank up in 2026 when one
3. 0:04coaching session can completely flip
4. 0:06your gameplay? Well, my name is Zex. I'm
5. 0:08a former top 13 an ECT EXP laner [music]
6. 0:11and I'm backed by coach Ken, a
7. 0:13professional team coach from the
8. 0:14Philippines. Together, we don't guess,
9. 0:17we break down the game properly. [music]
10. 0:19Bad macro, losing lanes you should win,
11. 0:21not knowing when to rotate, freeze, or
12. 0:23[music] force fights, that's the stuff
13. 0:25that's keeping players hard stuck. We
14. 0:27teach matchups, lane control, rotations,
15. 0:30leave timing, win conditions, and
16. 0:31itemization and more. Real fundamentals
17. 0:34that are actually used in pro play, not
18. 0:36something [music] you can find in some
19. 0:37general YouTube guide. So, instead of
20. 0:40grinding and hoping, you understand why
21. 0:42you're actually winning. [music]
22. 0:43Stop struggling, book a session, start
23. 0:46climbing.
24. 1:13Mages are one of the most criminally
25. 1:15misunderstood roles in this game. Now,
26. 1:17even though I'm a little bit sick, I'm
27. 1:19going to be explaining to you guys how
28. 1:20to rotate properly on mages and how to
29. 1:22get full value. Now, if you guys want
30. 1:24bonus MLBB diamonds, make sure to go to
31. 1:26my link in the description down below to
32. 1:28Loop Bar. You can get up to 40%
33. 1:30discounts and if you want me to coach
34. 1:31you on any lane in this game, go to my
35. 1:33Discord server. And like I said, I
36. 1:35apologize for my voice, but in this
37. 1:37video, I'm going to show you how to
38. 1:38rotate and play against a losing
39. 1:40matchup. Now, Kimmy is obviously a
40. 1:42stronger and more oppressive mid laner.
41. 1:44Thing is though, [music] this Kimmy
42. 1:45doesn't really know how to zone on
43. 1:47Kimmy, thankfully, but I'll show you
44. 1:49guys how you can out rotate the enemy
45. 1:51mage or the enemy mage and roam duo and
46. 1:54have more value on the map. So, of
47. 1:56course, because we are weaker at level
48. 1:58one, we're going to play slow. My only
49. 2:00objective here is to try and vision the
50. 2:01lethal for my jungler, even though he's
51. 2:03not going to contest it, just so he
52. 2:05knows when the enemy's going to go. And
53. 2:06you can [music] see, I managed to even
54. 2:08steal this lethal from the enemy
55. 2:09jungler, which is a huge bonus for us.
56. 2:16Honestly, you don't need to poke out the
57. 2:17enemy mage or the enemy roamer unless if
58. 2:20they're out of position like this.
59. 2:27Well, even though we didn't get the kill
60. 2:28on the Kimmy, we did manage to get that
61. 2:30kill onto the Angela and this is already
62. 2:31a really big advantage for us. Matilda
63. 2:34has very strong poke with her level one
64. 2:35in early game and a lot of people don't
65. 2:37use that properly. Of course, Hikari
66. 2:39does know how to use that well and I can
67. 2:40also use that on top of my pretty decent
68. 2:42burst damage in early game to poke
69. 2:44enemies out really hard. So, you can
70. 2:46see, we rotate together as well to top
71. 2:48lane after this to try and ambush this
72. 2:50Thamuz.
73. 3:01And because we took that lethal earlier,
74. 3:03we were able to get our level four from
75. 3:05that minion that was on EXP lane and
76. 3:07just like that, we're also able to get a
77. 3:09kill onto this Thamuz. So, we have 100%
78. 3:11team fight participation currently.
79. 3:13We've managed to secure two really good
80. 3:15pickoffs in early game and now we are
81. 3:17scaling very well. Not every game will
82. 3:19go this way, but this is a great game to
83. 3:21show you an example of just how much
84. 3:23impact mages can have [clears throat] in
85. 3:25early game.
86. 3:51Now, while you might not think these
87. 3:52kills are significant to any real
88. 3:54degree, these three extra kills that we
89. 3:56got delayed their Angela getting level
90. 3:58four and you can see that not only did
91. 4:00we pressure Thamuz into creating a
92. 4:02winning matchup, we also pressured bot
93. 4:04lane and created a winning matchup as
94. 4:06well. So, as long as you're pressuring
95. 4:08both lanes, even if you're not getting
96. 4:10kills, if you're forcing the enemy to
97. 4:11use spells, if you're forcing the enemy
98. 4:13to have to recall, don't mind that
99. 4:16second skill, but if you're forcing the
100. 4:17enemy to have to do these kind of
101. 4:19things, then you're already doing a good
102. 4:20job because of course, the Kimmy isn't
103. 4:22doing that to our Bruno and the Kimmy
104. 4:24isn't doing that to our Ruby. So,
105. 4:26because of that factor alone, you can
106. 4:28see we're creating an advantage. Of
107. 4:30course, again, earlier Thamuz had to use
108. 4:32vengeance against us and because he did,
109. 4:34he didn't have vengeance on lane there,
110. 4:36so Gusion was able to easily kill him.
111. 4:38Again, like I said, forcing spells,
112. 4:40forcing skills, all of this plays a
113. 4:42role. Now, this is a great job by our
114. 4:44Matilda here to confirm this kill onto
115. 4:46Lancelot. Like I said, Matilda has a lot
116. 4:48of damage with her skill one and people
117. 4:50underestimate it greatly, especially
118. 4:52when she's ahead. You can see the enemy
119. 4:53roamer is not even level four yet and
120. 4:55our Matilda's almost level six. So, you
121. 4:57can see how much impact you can have
122. 4:59with the roamer in increasing your
123. 5:01roamer scaling as well because of the
124. 5:03assists and kills that you're helping
125. 5:04them get.
126. 5:11As you can see, it's really not that
127. 5:12hard to rotate. You find yourself a
128. 5:14roamer who knows how to rotate with you
129. 5:16and you're going to be having a good
130. 5:17time. So, instead of [music] playing
131. 5:18solo queue, I just recommend going into
132. 5:20a duo queue with a roamer who knows how
133. 5:21to play this way to fast clear, rotate
134. 5:23around the map, put pressure on the
135. 5:25enemy, and you guys are going to be
136. 5:26having a good time. I mean, I have
137. 5:28literally almost every single kill
138. 5:30participation in this game, seven out of
139. 5:32the eight, and that is because Matilda
140. 5:35helped me confirm a lot of those kills
141. 5:37and rotated with me, but also because of
142. 5:39the pressure that I was able to apply
143. 5:40not just with the roamer, but just with
144. 5:42macro in general.
145. 5:56Honestly, the main thing you need to ask
146. 5:57yourself is, am I doing anything right
147. 6:00now? If I'm just sitting in mid lane, is
148. 6:02there a reason why I'm just sitting in
149. 6:03mid lane? If there isn't, there's
150. 6:05probably something else you can be doing
151. 6:07on the map that is more impactful. For
152. 6:09example, I could have just sat in mid
153. 6:11here or attacked the lethal, but of
154. 6:12course, it's better for me to be on top
155. 6:14lane here and put enough pressure onto
156. 6:16this Thamuz that we potentially kill
157. 6:17him. And of course, even though my team
158. 6:19probably would have killed him without
159. 6:20me, the extra assist never hurts, right?
160. 6:23And you can see, I'm not missing my
161. 6:25minions in mid lane either. I'm still
162. 6:26back in time to clear them. So, [music]
163. 6:28my point is is if you want to rotate,
164. 6:30there's always a good way that you can
165. 6:32rotate. In general, if you have a
166. 6:34roamer, it's easier to because they will
167. 6:36help you fast clear, they will help you
168. 6:37rotate the way that a Matilda can help
169. 6:39me in this game, right? But overall,
170. 6:41like I said, if you can't, then of
171. 6:43course, just stay in mid and protect
172. 6:44your turret. In a losing game, stay in
173. 6:46mid and protect your turret. Mid turret
174. 6:48is the most important turret in the
175. 6:49game. Too many people give it up for
176. 6:51absolutely no reason and then they
177. 6:52wonder why after they lost their mid
178. 6:54their mid turret, sorry, they started
179. 6:56losing. Think about it this way, the
180. 6:58second mid turret drops,
181. 7:00all of your jungle gets opened, your
182. 7:01jungle is easier to invade, you have
183. 7:03less space to move around on the map.
184. 7:05So, with all these things in mind, stop
185. 7:07losing your mid turret, please.
186. 8:34Also, just know that I'm an EXP and
187. 8:36jungle main. I barely play mid, I barely
188. 8:38play marksman, I barely play roam. So,
189. 8:41obviously, I'm not going to be playing
190. 8:43perfect. Some of my micro won't be
191. 8:44there, but for the most part, you can
192. 8:46see how easy it is for me to get value,
193. 8:48right? Even if I'm missing some skills,
194. 8:50even if I'm not playing at a perfect
195. 8:52level, that is simply because my micro
196. 8:54is not there from not playing the heroes
197. 8:56enough. On the other hand though, you
198. 8:57can see how easy it is for me to get
199. 8:59value by just applying macro general
200. 9:01tips of knowing how to rotate, who to
201. 9:03pressure, etc.
202. 9:40Overall, like I said, all of this that
203. 9:42you're seeing right now, you might think
204. 9:44that the enemy is bad, but to be honest,
205. 9:46if I was playing mage on the enemy's
206. 9:48team and their mage was playing on my
207. 9:50team and he was rotating with my Matilda
208. 9:52the way that I was, I would have been
209. 9:53losing in the exact same way. It is
210. 9:56simply macro. You need to have the macro
211. 9:58to abuse these kind of things in game.
212. 10:01If you don't have the macro, you won't
213. 10:03be winning games. So, stop making
214. 10:04mistakes of not using enough macro in
215. 10:07your matches and start using macro.
216. 10:09Honestly, if you don't know mage macro,
217. 10:12the basic gist of it is pretty simple.
218. 10:14If you can rotate and apply pressure
219. 10:16somewhere, do it. If you can apply
220. 10:18pressure to the enemy jungler, do it
221. 10:19with your team. If you can apply
222. 10:21pressure to the enemy gold laner, do it
223. 10:23with your team. If none of this is
224. 10:25possible because you have [music] to
225. 10:27perma clear mid, your teammates are not
226. 10:29helping you to clear mid, these kind of
227. 10:30things, your main job is to defend your
228. 10:32mid turret and be there present for team
229. 10:35fights. That's it, right? If I have to
230. 10:37clear my mid turret and I have to miss
231. 10:39out on a team fight, it is my team's
232. 10:41fault for taking that fight when I had
233. 10:42to clear mid, not your fault for not
234. 10:44being there. [music] I hope that makes
235. 10:46sense. Overall, be present at
236. 10:48objectives, be present in team fights,
237. 10:50and just defend your turret. That's the
238. 10:51basic macro of mid lane. Everything
239. 10:53else, like rotating, all of that is a
240. 10:55bonus. If it's possible, it's possible.
241. 10:57If it's not, it's not.
242. 11:08One of the main reasons why I like
243. 11:09longer range mages such as Faramis or
244. 11:12Xavier is because you can be very
245. 11:13impressive from a very far distance. I
246. 11:15never have to get too close to this
247. 11:17enemy here to do anything. I can keep
248. 11:19harassing them continuously for free
249. 11:21from a distance and I never have to
250. 11:23worry about them closing the gap because
251. 11:24I have a Matilda, I have my flicker, and
252. 11:27I have a lot of movement speed with my
253. 11:28passive. Anytime Thamuz tries to get
254. 11:30near me, he loses half of his HP, sorry,
255. 11:32because of the gap that I have. So, with
256. 11:35that in mind, you can see I always keep
257. 11:36my distance. I always play far enough
258. 11:38back to where the enemy [music] really
259. 11:39can't do anything to me and we're always
260. 11:41having a good time.
