as an individual who watches youtube for just about every game i play, i have to say some things. now, dont take what i am saying as an attempt to belittle you or put you down; i want to see you be successful. with that being said, you don't have to take my advice at all. its up to you.

first up, using the words "umm" and "uhh" takes away from the information you are putting forward. the thing about youtube videos is that, unless they are being live streamed, you can edit them. for the instance of sounding more professional, and overall being more professional, retake the audio and follow a script if necessary. your speaking voice is pretty clear, but your ruining the experience with so many "umm"s and "uhhs" in the first 2 minutes. when i hear those, i feel like maybe you dont know what you are saying, even though you are showing that you know what you are doing.

next, the word "very" could be taken out every time you use it. for instance, at 5:18 you explain that staying ahead in gold versus your opponent is "very good to keep in mind as well". now, you could omit the "very good" and use "exceptional" or even "groovy" if you are feeling retro, or you could keep it how it is; it is up to you. i think it was Robin Williams that said (as a line in a movie) "So avoid using the word very because it is lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don't use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys: to woo women. And, in that endeavor, laziness will not do." Granted, I'll bet you aren't trying to pick up women with a LoL Youtube tutorial on ADC, but it wouldn't hurt to keep that in mind.

aside from those two things, i did enjoy the guide. if you avoid certain words and the stopping in sentences (i'm assuming from nervousness or inexperience with recording yourself), you'll do fine. you probably didnt want someone butchering your video, but i really do want to see you succeed. GL in the future.

Nice thresh montage, some of those hooks were impeccable. my favorite would be at 5:00 when you hook the poor vayne. lol
