Interested in Coaching/Analyzing

Hi, I am currently a silver player, although I was a platinum player when I had time for the game.

I am interested in coaching or analyzing for a league of legends team, specifically a team that is in a league, with scheduled matches and such. I would like to try my hand at things such as: Watching vods of other teams to find their weaknesses, strengths, strategies, drafts, etc. I would also like to watch our own team's games and look for places to improve, develop team comps and drafts, and help players develop strategies.

I briefly coached a team of very low elo players, and they did somewhat improve, but then the season ended and we disbanded. I also played competitively in soloQ tournaments, winning over 30k RP in total. Other than these small experiences, I am relatively inexperienced. However, I believe that I would be good at this because I have god awful mechanics, and when I pulled myself up to plat, it was off of understanding rotations, how to fight with my team, how to execute random soloQ comps, evaluating how champs would interact without actually playing it out, etc. In other words, I believe that I am good at the strategical aspect of LoL, and have fundamental understandings such as how team comps are built and interact.

In previous teams I would have the players rank their champion pool on a 1-10 scale. 1 being a champ that they could barely play, 10 being their one-trick champ, etc. Then I would build comps using these champions, so that the comps were tailored to the team, and not just meta things that players are not comfortable on.

I am open to coaching any level of play, even if you're a bronze team. It is preferable though that you are playing in a league and not just on the ladder, because I think the aspect of analyzing other teams sounds very fun/interesting.

Hello, I'm Lucy. Nice to meet you. It would seem you would like to try your hand in the prestigious art of coaching - that's great! with a strong knowledge of basic and core game concepts you can be a very effective coach. I have spent a while looking into game concepts myself, though my rank is currently at its peak I've not had time for the game. A lot of newer coaches do things in an awkward manner or they get lost on little things that don't apply to most of the player base, moreover it's important to remember that core game concepts and fundamentals apply to absolutely ALL levels of the game. If you focus on these also remember that things happen according to gameflow, not numbers.
Much in the way one might look at one's own CS and say "oh it's not high enough" because it's less than 7 per 10, well, coaches can fall into this too. Playing according to matchup and respecting (more core fundamentals) things like zone potential and gank potential on both sides affect this.

Best of luck to you! here's to hoping you find a team to coach - Lucy Anne.
