Questions about last-hitting (CS-pratice)

Hey,

I'm practicing last hitting as much as I can (ADC) to get a solid foundation.

I already read a lot of "How to's", practice routines and watched some yt videos. Most of the stuff doesn't really help at all.

No guide goes into detail and shows HOW to last hit actually. Just straight practicing gets me nowhere (my score doesn't improve anymore).

I found out that there are several concepts you need to know. Some of them I could find out myself, most of the stuff I still dont know... : /

  1. There is no chance of last-hitting the first 3 melee minions if you dont "seperate" them. ´--> give one of them one shot, another gets 2 shots, the last one gets no extra shot. Without that, I have no chance to last hit all of them, since the AA-Animation takes to long. (Even with animation canceling, its just too slow)

  2. "stay behind your ranged minions" Twitch's range seems to be too short to do that most of the time....

  3. Its so hard to get that timing right. Moving and shooting kind of relate to each other. Often it happens, that the champ needs to take a little step forward because the range is just a bit too high --> too late for last hit.

  4. With no bot in a custom game I'm always slightly pushing the wave. So after some time (bc noone pushes back) I have 5,6,7 or more minions (up to 10...) attacking the enemy wave. The timing for last hitting changes dramatically. As soon as my wave becomes bigger, my last hitting suffers a lot (I tend to have better results against a bot bc of that reason)

  5. Waves / Minions "reorder" themselves to a complete mess. Its so hard to find out which minion is next to last hit. Sometimes there are 3 I need to hit at the same time. (I need to have them "seperated" before as well, but I recognize that way too late)

  6. Two range minions and one melee attack Minion Nr. 1 Cannon minion + 2 melee attack Minion Nr. 2 3 range minions attack minion Nr. 3

    --> how to focus on the minion HP / time to minion death and my position all at the same time? Its just crazy....

My thoughts: There must be a way to "organize" the wave at least a bit or there might be more hints how to get a better overview over that mess. (Just as with the first 3 melee minions)

I'm currently stuck at 31 CS / 5 min and 60-70 CS / 10 min. in a non-bot custom game.

Any help warmly welcome!

Set yourself goals and practice in Normals.

**Reason: **All that theory about wave-management, wave-manipulation, and soandso many shots here and there is nice and all...

...but it all goes out the window the moment there is a human opponent on the field.

I know it's pretty old but it is still very valid and it was a huge help to me while learning to cs. Listen to what he says from after the jungle pull and once he gets to lane.
