Tips To Be A Better Marksman | Mobile Legends — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Now, as most of you know, I offer
- 0:01coaching to players, and most of the
- 0:03people that I coach on gold lane
- 0:04specifically make so many fundamental
- 0:07mistakes in early game that subject them
- 0:09to losing later. But on top of that,
- 0:12they also make a lot of mistakes with
- 0:13positioning and with respecting certain
- 0:15enemies. So, in this game play, what I'm
- 0:17going to be doing is showing you guys
- 0:19how to properly lane on gold lane. I'm
- 0:21going to give you guys some tips for
- 0:23positioning and all of these things
- 0:24while also showcasing this Clint Soul
- 0:26Vessel skin because I ended up buying
- 0:28it. I was going to gift the skin to one
- 0:30of my friends, but I already gifted
- 0:31three skins, so I ended up just buying
- 0:33the skin for myself because I had the
- 0:341,200 credits. So, yeah, enjoy the game
- 0:37play and let's get into it. But just
- 0:39before we do, be honest. Are you really
- 0:41still struggling to rank up [music] in
- 0:422026 when one coaching session can
- 0:45completely flip your gameplay? Well, my
- 0:47name is Zex. I'm a former top 13 NCT
- 0:50[music] exp laner, and I am backed by
- 0:52Coach Ken, a professional team coach
- 0:54from the Philippines. together. We don't
- 0:56guess. [music] We break down the game
- 0:58properly. Bad macro, losing lanes you
- 1:01should win, [music] not knowing when to
- 1:02rotate, freeze or force fights. That's
- 1:05the stuff that's keeping players [music]
- 1:06hard stuck. We teach matchups, lane
- 1:08control, rotations, wave timing, win
- 1:11conditions, and itemization, and more.
- 1:13Real fundamentals that are actually used
- 1:15[music] in proplay, not something you
- 1:17can find on some general YouTube guide.
- 1:19So instead of grinding and hoping,
- 1:21[music] you understand why you're
- 1:22actually winning. Stop struggling. Book
- 1:25a session, start [music] climbing. Okay,
- 1:28so first things first, as some of you
- 1:29might have noticed, versus a very strong
- 1:31heavy hitter like Bruno, it's always a
- 1:33good idea to buy the small defense item
- 1:36first. So instead of just immediately
- 1:38building into tough boots, I buy this to
- 1:39give me 14 defense, which immediately
- 1:41gives me some damage reduction against
- 1:43this Clint's damage, which makes laning
- 1:45a lot easier. For this, I want to build
- 1:47a fury hammer. And the reason why I want
- 1:49to build a fury hammer on Clint
- 1:50specifically is because it makes Clint's
- 1:52laning a lot better. Sorry if you heard
- 1:54my phone notification. Um, if this is a
- 1:56hero such as a Trinity hero, you just
- 1:58want to go for a swift crossbow off the
- 2:00rip because if you don't go for a swift
- 2:02crossbow right away, you're usually
- 2:04struggling to lane unless if you decide
- 2:06to build DHS as a first item. But I
- 2:08generally believe that corrosion scythe
- 2:09is better for wave clear since you're
- 2:11anyways playing very very slow in early
- 2:12game. As you can see, we're not really
- 2:14forcing anything versus Bruno. He's
- 2:16technically stronger than me right now,
- 2:17and I need to respect that matchup as
- 2:19opposed to trying to poke him out and
- 2:21force anything. I will poke him whenever
- 2:22he tries to trade with me because I have
- 2:24better trade capabilities, but I won't
- 2:26force a prolonged fight because that is
- 2:28the matchup that Bruno wins. Anyone who
- 2:30tries to force a prolonged fight against
- 2:32a Bruno typically ends up losing those
- 2:34said fights. But if you decide to play
- 2:36it slow, play it safe, wait for your
- 2:38quantum charge to come back off of
- 2:39cooldown, you're generally going to have
- 2:41a better time. And since I called out
- 2:42Bruno, no Aegis, you can see that my
- 2:44Atlas is able to come up here and put a
- 2:46lot of poke onto Bruno. And all of a
- 2:48sudden, from one really small gank from
- 2:51my ROR, we are having a stronger lane
- 2:53now with an advantage on HP. So again,
- 2:56like I said, if my teammates didn't want
- 2:58to gank me here or if my team didn't
- 3:00help me here, I would have continued to
- 3:02just play slow, make sure I get my
- 3:04minions, and relax because honestly,
- 3:07gold lane is not about creating
- 3:08monstrous plays and being five and zero
- 3:10in the first 5 minutes. Gold Lane is
- 3:13about doing absolutely everything and
- 3:15hard carrying after 6 to 8 minutes. So
- 3:18again, my fault I didn't say 67 there. I
- 3:20know some of y'all were pissed about
- 3:21that, but again, you just want to chill,
- 3:24don't force, and just relax, bro. And
- 3:26you can see he never gets to poke me
- 3:28out. I get to get all my farm and all of
- 3:30that kind of stuff. So instead of
- 3:32showing you guys just this continuously
- 3:33boring laning phase, I'm just going to
- 3:35skip to the parts where it's more
- 3:36interesting.
- 3:51Always make sure you're paying attention
- 3:52to the map. If you look at it right now,
- 3:54you saw that Johnson started driving.
- 3:55So, I'm greeting a little bit by forcing
- 3:57to get this minion, but I see that I'm
- 3:59still able to and get out in time. And
- 4:01lo and behold, a few seconds later,
- 4:04guess who appears on my lane. So, again,
- 4:06you always need to look at the map.
- 4:08Always be cognizant of where the enemies
- 4:10are and what they're intending to do.
- 4:16>> How even here my target priority was not
- 4:18immediately the Johnson because at the
- 4:20end of the day if I can poke out this
- 4:22Bruno and my team decides to target him
- 4:24instead, Bruno is the better kill to
- 4:26get. Now, of course, if it's a
- 4:28difference between Bruno being on full
- 4:29HP and the Johnson being on one HP, of
- 4:32course, target the Johnson because at
- 4:33the end of the day, you want to make
- 4:35sure you confirm the kill, right?
- 4:51Initiate
- 5:00>> As you can see, I'm playing my range
- 5:02correctly. I'm never forcing anything.
- 5:04I'm always cognizant of where the
- 5:05enemies are on the map and opportunities
- 5:08in the first 5 minutes have been there
- 5:10for themselves and I have capitalized
- 5:12right one zero and two. It may not be
- 5:14five and zero like all of y'all
- 5:16marksman's wet dreams but at the same
- 5:18time it is still more than good enough
- 5:20for me to be completely chilling getting
- 5:22my farm gap. I'm also getting these gold
- 5:24crabs and I'm able to assist my team on
- 5:27this turtle with my farm gap.
- 5:34age holds no saints and spares no
- 5:36silence.
- 6:03An ally has slain
- 6:22>> evil.
- 6:32Now, I 100% trolled when I dashed into
- 6:34the pit. I'm not going to lie, I
- 6:36completely forgot that Clint's second
- 6:38skill gives you a knock back. So, when I
- 6:40used it using backwards, I expected to
- 6:42knock myself the other way. This is
- 6:44literally because I've played 10 total
- 6:45games on Clint in like my life. So,
- 6:48forgive me EK, if you're watching this
- 6:50video, don't kill me. And number two,
- 6:52again, you got to be cognizant of where
- 6:53the enemies are. I didn't expect Aean to
- 6:56path here because I expected him to go
- 6:57to his blue buff before he would have
- 6:59done the uh red buff. But at the end of
- 7:01the day, it is what it is. So, not only
- 7:04did I troll in that fight by my
- 7:05positioning, I also trolled by not
- 7:07respecting Aean's rotation and I die for
- 7:10it. So, again, these are the type of
- 7:12things that are completely avoidable in
- 7:14your games. You just have to play a
- 7:15little bit smarter. I don't want to show
- 7:16you guys a perfect gameplay where I have
- 7:18absolutely zero deaths because usually
- 7:20when that happens, the enemy are not
- 7:22good enough to kill you, right? And
- 7:23that's a different problem in itself cuz
- 7:25it's not realistic. Instead, I want to
- 7:27show you guys where I decide to path,
- 7:28the decisions I decide to make, and the
- 7:30places I go to pressure enemies and do
- 7:32these kind of things, and how I farm,
- 7:34right? And you can see that in this
- 7:36game, I'm going to make a few mistakes,
- 7:37but you're also going to see me
- 7:38completely dominate and hard carry
- 7:40later. So, stay tuned.
- 7:44Mid turret is the most important turret
- 7:45in the game. If you have the chance of
- 7:47pushing this turret, always push it.
- 7:48Especially as the marksman, your job is
- 7:50to push, right? So, stop not pushing and
- 7:53stop doing random things on the map when
- 7:55you could be pushing turrets instead.
- 7:56Every single turret gives your teammate
- 7:58space advantage and always look to
- 8:00capitalize off your teammate sets. Just
- 8:02like that, we managed to get two extra
- 8:04free kills cuz we were just in the right
- 8:05place at the right time playing around
- 8:07our set people because at the end of the
- 8:09day, they rely on me to do the damage,
- 8:11right? And if I'm not there, then not
- 8:13only are they not getting that kill, but
- 8:15at the same time, we are also wasting
- 8:17their set. Does that make sense? So, if
- 8:19you're always split pushing as a
- 8:20marksman and wondering why your Johnson
- 8:22or your Atlas or your Tigriel is getting
- 8:24a four-man set when nobody's around,
- 8:26it's not always just their fault. It's
- 8:28also your fault specifically for not
- 8:31being there. And again, I'm not
- 8:33respecting Kagura here. This is a very
- 8:34deserved death. One more death this game
- 8:36though, and then I completely pop off,
- 8:38so don't worry.
- 8:48Now that we've gotten to our sky
- 8:50piercer, we're an even bigger threat.
- 8:51Anyone who gets set is most likely going
- 8:53to die in this game. And that even
- 8:55includes the Johnson. Now, one thing
- 8:57you'll notice, especially in Mythical
- 8:59Glory and below, is people never respect
- 9:01when you have that damage.
- 9:10It looks a bit clunky and choppy here,
- 9:12but don't forget the turrets give your
- 9:13teammate a little bit of a shield when
- 9:14you stand under them. And on top of
- 9:16that, don't forget that Bruno even had
- 9:17to use Aegis and still died there. So
- 9:20again, you can tell you have your damage
- 9:22by this point. Again, I'm going to stay
- 9:24around Aurora. I'm going to stay around
- 9:26Atlas and I'm always going to look for
- 9:27the opportunity with them to create
- 9:30something because it's way easier to get
- 9:32a kill when they stun someone or freeze
- 9:34someone than it is for me to do it.
- 9:36solo. One last thing in terms of
- 9:37itemization in this game 110% I should
- 9:40have went for a rose gold around now.
- 9:42They have Aean, they have Bruno, they
- 9:44have Kagura, they have a Johnson and a
- 9:46Lucas. If I go for a rose gold at this
- 9:48point, it makes it 10 times easier for
- 9:50me to sustain and survive.
- 10:11UPORDIN
- 10:22I would walk the same path
- 10:29all
- 10:38Don't y'all love when you get a crazy
- 10:39outplay and then this happens? I mean
- 10:42like Kagura did a great job, but like
- 10:43why are you in that bush with your ulti
- 10:45for this entire fight? Like come on now,
- 10:47man. Now at 11 minutes though, we are a
- 10:51menace. It's time to pop off.
- 11:03This is what I mean when I say you need
- 11:05to respect your late game and stop
- 11:07forcing in early. Just farm yourself up
- 11:09to get to your late game, but do it
- 11:10correctly to where you still have
- 11:12pressure and ability to help your team
- 11:14on the map in other moments in early to
- 11:16midame and you are just going to be
- 11:18having an amazing time on marksman. They
- 11:19are super easy to carry on when you
- 11:21learn the macro. So, I highly suggest it
- 11:23if you're a solo Q player. Just
- 11:25remember, if there's someone permanently
- 11:26sitting in your lane and your team never
- 11:28comes to help, that's an entirely
- 11:29different story. In that case, you're
- 11:31just going to have to play slower and
- 11:32wait for your opportunities later to
- 11:35farm and also, of course, to carry. So,
- 11:37in those games, if you can't really farm
- 11:39safely, it is what it is. You're just
- 11:41going to have to chill and wait for your
- 11:42moments later to be able to split and
- 11:44farm and do these kind of things.
- 11:46Because in reality, in those kind of
- 11:48games, there's really nothing you can do
- 11:49if your team doesn't help you.
- 11:58Nothing can pierce the despair being
- 12:01devoured.
- 12:26Launch attack.
- 12:44As you can see, if you have the correct
- 12:46positioning, the correct build, and the
- 12:48correct marksman versus the enemy team,
- 12:50you are really able to carry games here.
- 12:52Clint is really strong because he
- 12:54outranges most of the enemy team, and
- 12:56it's very difficult to reach him, which
- 12:58allows him to free hit a lot of the
- 13:00time. That's why we picked him. That's
- 13:01why we carried. Anyways, thank you guys
- 13:04for watching. I hope you guys enjoyed
- 13:05this video, and let me know what kind of
- 13:07video you want to see next. I'll catch
- 13:08you guys in the next one.
