Eye of the Diamond - A new way to learn the League

SmoI Hero·10/5/2014, 7:47:52 PM·14 votes·2,707 views

Hi guys, my name is The Harlequin. I am the co-founder of the Diamond N Bronze channel where we post educational League of Legends videos. We'll use this thread to post news and content notifications.

We want to teach the League community the basic and more complex concepts that make League of Legends such a fun and competitive game. The way we do this is by making short and to-the-point videos with a diamond's eye view on situations that happen every day in lower elos. We'll also cover many different points that are barely talked about by streamers and other channels, but make a significant impact on someone's play.

Occasionally, we'll bring in guest Diamond players so that they can share with you what they've learned and mastered.

So for those of you interested in improving their gameplay, don't miss out on these videos. Hope you learn something new!

Our videos will be featured on the League of Legends wikia soon so look forward to that!

A huge thank you to the community for helping us reach 5000 subscribers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nGiXcVrRdw

Don't forget to subscribe to the channel!

Please don't hesitate to give us your feedback and ideas. We're amateurs, but we're serious about wanting this to go somewhere. Criticism is welcomed. We want to give the community something they want to see!

Amazingly well done. I'm Diamond myself so sure I could teach my buds all this stuff but this makes it so much simpler. From now on I'll be sending this post to them once they're ready to try ranked. And now if anyone has questions about something I tell them I can just send them one of these videos for ez pz explanation. Thanks! :)

This is a really good Series.

As a fellow diamond I really approve of these.

Even covered somethings I did but didn't know it was a concept/mechanic.

Nice series! So far, I've watched videos 1-10, and my largest problem is that the volume is inconsistent: the intro music is way louder than you speaking. Have you fixed this already?

For some reason the link at the end of episode 7 led me to episode 1, not sure if this was intentional. Love the videos though, subbed, keep up the great work!
