Hey does anyone have any suggestions for good educational content? This would include streams, videos, coaching, or whatever you can think of. I'm wanting to improve overall and would love to see some content that could help me achieve that goal. Thanks!
Solorenektononly aka 'sro' has SOME vids with great basic education about both micro skill like champ combo's and trading patterns and macro like how/when to freeze lane or push. Probably the best in terms of informative for a newer/less skilled player that I've run across so far. The downside is it's basically all toplane - unless you main toplane. The macro stuff still applies to other lanes though.
Once in a blue moon Dyrus will feel informative and talkative in his videos and offer some helpful info too.
There's also free and paid videos that cover different aspects of the game and can be champion specific if you just google or YouTube the stuff.
I don't know any others specifically, but I'm sure there are plenty more. I also have posted some vids on boards and done an analysis of the game... breaking down decision-making, trades in lane, rotations, teamfights, etc. They cover silver/gold elo gameplay. Again mostly from toplane perspective, but still informative even if you aren't a toplane main.
Personally, I started life as a support main and stayed there for about 2-3 seasons of ranked. Back when everything was screaming or copy/pasting your desired role in chat as soon as you got in champ select. Then you'd argue pick order if first in line or call order if bottom but posted your desire for role x before first guy in line. Back when people called you idiot or other stuff and riot was like... well, you're new so... deal with it. Anyways, back to the point. If you play support well, learn different types of support champions, and use the role to better understand the purpose of all other roles in the game better, support role is probably the most informative and helps you grow more than other roles. You realize the value of positioning, vision control, knowing trade patterns not just for YOUR champ, but for your teammates and your opponents as well. How do I maximize bullying my opponent while also minimizing their ability to fight back using their kit to their max value? Also, if you can learn to play different supports effectively, you can transfer those skills into almost any other role - more than playing other roles can offer.
If you post a vid or some clips I could look at a few - not looking for a part time job for free here - and offer some outside analysis of what's good and what's bad in the vid. Where you might have been able to position differently or pressure a different objective to pull an enemy off a siege or dragon. Where you picked a good engage and why it was a good one. Just post on boards and send me link to the page or whatever.
