Everyone else's advice is good too, just be prepared to stick with this. It's going to take a ton of time and effort before it's profitable. | ||

Kat is the most played but by no means the highest win rate. | ||

It takes a long time to build up your viewerbase. If you got 1300 in cash to spare, sure. I just cannot see the justification of this much money via credit because it will take you a long time to get the money back even if you manage to succeed. | ||

Dont be an asshole. Either in game or to your viewers or to yourself. Nightblue is extremely positive and i think thats a large part of his appeal. Matlife is extremely hard on himself in game and it was not fun to watch. The visual presentation doesnt really matter much to me. Boxbox's stream is filled with nonsense and it looks stupid. I would suggest checking out fatefalls. He is a fizz main in challenger. He seems like a nice guy, has a smartly designed layout, and interacts with viewers. Have a ama/faq easily linked so people can learn about you/why they should watch you. Cowsep is an american living in korea as an english teacher. He only plays yi in masters and all the koreans know him. I learned that from his reddit ama. I dont watch any streams of people below diamond. I hope you are good. I get enough of low elo in my own games. Being good at one champ or role is key. | ||

I don't think many people have been successful at quitting their job and becoming a big streamer. Rather they become a big streamer, then quit their job and become a full-time streamer. | ||

 . Interacting with viewers is difficult if not weird already for me since with a small amount of viewers there's going to be a lot of interaction with specific people. Then again, I only had like 16 people watching tops.Also, if you live in a place with shitty internet upload speeds, you may as well just give up now. I've streamed with around 4Mbps and I wouldn't watch myself with that little quality (I think I was going 720p 48fps though). | ||

I've got all my Youtube subscribers and Facebook followers from the time where I used to release an SC2 video EVERY DAY. I did it for around a year and that really kicked things off. Now it's the opposite. I do it only on and off and nobody gives a fuck anymore. I'm randomly recognised by French players in soloQ/IRL but that's it. Only a glimmer of what it was when I was doing regular content. Man, working sucks... | ||

I have always wanted to do it and i feel if I didn't try I would regret it. That being said I was hoping to get some TL Support :D Anyone have any suggestions, tips, ideas ect, ect. - don't put it on credit card if you can't pay it off by end of month, interest rates will rape you to oblivion. - webcam! people love face cams (assuming you're at least as good looking as qtpie, can't be that hard) - show cleavage. - what do you plan on streaming? I'm assuming LoL? get good, I think there are only like 2 or 3 non d1-skill level male streamers that break 1k views regularly, if you want to be the big name, one of the best ways is to get good first. - always stream the hype'd up new AAA titles. - be funny, funny gets views, and keeps views. - regular stream schedule, remember if you plan on making money, treat it like a job. put in the hours, and put them in regularly | ||

Debating on picking up an AP top but I don't want to drop the IP on the glyph set if he's gonna be poop and be most of my way to somebody like Rumble. | ||

I was just talking to soniv about this but it really helps if you're a huge fucking bigmouth and love the sound of your own voice like me  I don't know how entertaining I truly am to be honest, but I just try to be me and I think ultimately that's what has to work best. | ||

I got called the bob ross of starcraft and i have no idea if thats a compliment or an insult to this day. god i looked up my old stuff i was trying to get done. i bit off so much more than i could chew and i got stuck in a spot i couldnt do anything once initial plans fell through> jay. stick to just streaming don't try to expand beyond that. don't bother with highlight reels early or anything outside of the stream until you feel super prepared to spend hours in prep a day. i have a huge guilty feeling from the stuff i announced and could never follow through up on for various reasons from Bnet account getting stolen to the guy i was talking with helping me being a scammer ect. | ||

I think this is the most important part. And it's important to remember that you're never going to please everyone. If people don't like your personality, then they won't watch. But try to be yourself and as inviting and fun as possible. When I was streaming league regularly, my play improved quite a bit because I knew people were watching and would criticize my mistakes. Also, I would occasionally do streams of consciousness, which helped keep my play focused because it would force me to constantly be thinking of the right plays. | ||

If that goes through as is. he'll be weak to the early all in champions but still good against the standard pro style top lanes of mundo/maokai ect. probably forced to lane swap vs rumble as he almost always does now anyway. you could still be successful in solo queue with him, but you'll have to learn how to play defensive and not try for risky cs early vs some of the strong lane champs. | ||

Good. When a champion is as strong as he is late game, his early game should suffer to make up for it. | ||
