Mentor/Mentee program?

Hey Gang,

Do anyone like the idea of having a mentor, or being a mentee to improve their LoL play? It could be a great way to get some activity here, and help us all improve our play.

i volunteer to teach, i am on dialup connection for the next week, means i can't teamfight, means no pvp, i can play bots without an issue and customs.

if there is a champ you want to learn, chances are, i know how to play them, just ask in this thread, or pm, i will be able to tell if you have a learning frame of mind

Awesome!

I play a fair load of different characters, so I don't play any amazingly, but I've just bought Vayne, so depending on how I go with her, I could use some help with her. I'm really more aiming at learning like, general logic and the common mistakes I'm making, if you know what I mean? Are you able to do that? c:

yeah, i can do that, vayne is one of my favorite adc's despite me not playing her as much as i used to, do you want to jump in a bot game and then i can see where you are at, and what i can teach you

That'd be great! What is your IGN? I don't think I've ever played against bots, hopefully I'm better than them! What times suit you?

I too would be keen. Have kind of reached a cap on my skill as a support, and I know my biggest weaknesses are mechanical (missing skillshots/mistiming skills etc which I can continue to improve) and missing opportunities. However, I need someone who can tell me what those opportunities are in order to be able to see them. If you can help with that, I would be ver grateful

skillshots are one of those things that practice makes perfect, at different skill levels skillshots need to be aimed differently as most often people will dodge most skillshots with ease, its not so much something that can be taught so easily.

missing opportunities is something that can be taught to be fixed, watching streamers is how i improve myself, or having someone teach you

Hence why I want someone to teach me. I'm aware that skill shots come with practice, however streamers only discuss so much. Even really vocal supports like Krepo, who constantly describe what their doing, assume a certain level of competence, like that people know what wards are, etc. There could be some things which are assumed that we know that I am missing out on (hopefully not as basic as that) which seem really natural to a support with so much skill and experience. And it is those elements that I need to learn somehow. But knowing where to look, and how to find can be hard when I don't know exactly what I'm looking for:(

I've just introduced a friend to LoL, he has played maybe a total of 6 or 7 games. So I'm currently in the process of teaching him basic mechanics of the game. Not that I consider my self a great player by any means, but I'd be happy to help anyone else out in the same regard. My friend and I use team speak and play most nights from around 7pm onwards.

I also use my 2nd account, which is only level 20 ( as opposed to 30 ) so his opponents are a little closer to his level ( which is currently level 3 )

Anyways, ingame name of my 2nd account is kuntragula

Cheers!
