Well, we aren't the best and besides me nobody knows much how each role works (i'm not really good, but I already spend MUCH MUCH time watching pro players play). The thing is, how to teach them how to play this or that role? I'm not a really good teacher and could be a little annoying always listen to me screaming 'DONT DO THAT OMG YOU SUCK', etc... Try saying "you could have done X" instead of "should have" or "stop doing this" it's less aggressive. Also things like "if you wanted to engage, let us know next time" things like that take the burden off of the player and put it on the play instead. helps a lot with temperamental players. | ||

The thing is, how to teach them how to play this or that role? I'm not a really good teacher and could be a little annoying always listen to me screaming 'DONT DO THAT OMG YOU SUCK', etc... Write out a clock book for their trilane. EG something like Before 0:00-Ward up and stick back, don't engage enemy and scout. 0:00-0:30 Protect pull and harras enemy offlane 0:30-:52 deward pull if warded 0:52 stack creeps 1:15 pull 1:35 Get ready for 2 minute rune @ your rune spot. If rune is opposite side gank mid. etc. It really helps if you can keep the supports that don't know how to play always doing something, and if you are at a low level chances are that you CAN be this rigid in stuff to do because the enemy won't know how to capitalise on it. Also Just make them gank mid like twice, can really fuck up teams morale if their best player is playing mid and dies. Also for picks, pick heroes that are strong/easy to combo and play. Don't just go for flavour of the month heroes like the pro's do because they are considered OP at the time, EG if you have a mid player that plays a sick razor mid, run it! Why wouldn't you? Or if you want to run SD+leshrac just do it! It won't hurt to run "slightly" worse lineups than the trend to improve your skills and honestly most of those lineups ARE strong enough anyway. | ||

I find a big drawback of following tl/streams as a non-native speaker is that playing with rl friends becomes borderline embarassing, specially regarding common terms like pulling, that can't be promptly translated but if you don't they won't grasp the meaning. | ||

Also Tusk's snowball with the whole team doesn't work so well against Venomancer+ Zeus combo.. what my poison didn't kill, Zeus's lol-ulti did. (Also I've still no idea what I was supposed to be doing with Venomancer.. I ended up with 25 assists so I'm going to say support?) I think we still were down by about 12 kills at the end, but had all our tier 3s still up when we won. | ||
