Fighting is the cornerstone of League of Legends, and improving at it is one of the fastest ways to climb. But in my experience this skill is often not talked about, and overshadowed by discussions about macro. But the truth is, it doesn't matter if your strategy is better than the opponent, if they fight better than you, they will most likely win.

The problem is that getting better at this skill is largely just building intuition and muscle memory on your champion. But to help this process, I made a video breaking down my thought process before, and during fights, including assessing threats, wincons, and making a plan for every fight. The idea being that by seeing the thought process of someone in high elo, viewers can slowly start thinking about some of this stuff, and improve your fighting intuition. This video deals specifically with mid-late game teamfights, but I can make more around early skirmishing/laning sequences.etc in the future.

Would appreciate input on if this style of video is helpful/informative.

Boom waddup Swain gang,

Been trying Rocketbelt Swain for a bit in NA Grandmaster. It honestly feels pretty good and the synergy it has with Rylai's really helps Swain's biggest issues of:

- Getting outranged and kited

- Landing E without setup

The dash closes the gap breaking people's tethering to help you get in range easier, and also procs Rylai's slow to enable you to follow up with E/W, allowing for some insane and unpredictable long range engages.

I go more in depth in the video, but I think it could be really good, especially with DFT coming out to offset the lack of item effect. LMK what you guys think!
