What is tempo in League of Legends?

But yeah, welcome back to another challenger jungle guide with your boy here, Vambient. We're going to be making this video about counter ganking. There's nothing happening level one, everything is just super standard. I did forget to smite earlier because I realized I wasn't quite recording, so I'm going to just like go back and try to get back on my sequence here cuz I was a little bit late. But yeah, this one is going to be about counter ganking match that will be posted right now.

So, definitely instead of that if you Oh, wait, what is this? Open here. I'm lucky. I'm going to just kind of go around here. Mhm, that was another one for me.

Fine. He used a lot of tempo top. I have to take it back, fortunately. I have to just push it down. Set towards.

It's fine. It's fine. It's a good wave. So, why do I talk about counter ganking this video, right? So, part of the securing dragon play style is about kind of grabbing all the tempo for yourself and utilizing all the dragons.

You're going to be naturally a little bit slower in terms of responding to ganks, but you'll make up for it in terms of securing the dragons with this kind of play style, right? So, we're double full clearing into the dragon. We're spending very minimal tempo in other lanes. This game we are realizing we have a Kassadin and we have a Karthus Sona bot lane, so they're going to get focused on pretty hard. There's not really too much we can do for them, right?

Because they're scaling. Kassadin is typically very very hard to play with because he's a mid lane that cannot gain any priority in his lane for the longest time. So, we have to kind of be very very careful in this match up because we know that Gragas is going to look to move all the time. Whereas our we're going to be slower on Graves and then we're also not going to have mid priority. Given this, we can still potentially find opportunities to take the dragon if Graves is kind of willing to allow us to do so we're going to play on top scuttle here.

Or if he goes over to top scuttle, we're going to play on top of kind of work our way into here to I think he's probably very aware that we are already here. I think he knows cuz I think we showed here and we didn't have six cents, so I think it's going to have to be a gain mid prior and then try to bring him over. Okay. Getting my mid prior here. Okay, and then we're just going to kind of slink around.

I think honestly be a little bit too little tempo to the dragon now honestly right now, so I'm going to have to go and go into our top side and follow our sequence down. I think it's a little bit rough. But yeah, because Graves could have ran over and we got seen over here then it was a little bit tough to do dragon in that situation but we can always just loop back right now so we're okay with this I think but yeah we are we were playing for that counter gank opportunity because we saw Graves on vision but this is why you kind of want to keep stealth ward is why you kind of want to keep all wards and just make sure you're playing available for that counter gank opportunity if possible it does look like we are getting a kill here based on how our players are playing but of course everything can change depending on what they are up to but yeah it looks like it is good so protecting the bot lane earlier and then making sure nothing can happen leads us to get a very nice bolobolo but yeah here we're going to just kind of continue on our rotation and then make sure that we can kind of go into the dragon notice because I have such a weak mid laner and weak bot lane that had died earlier like basically these champions are very very susceptible early I mean so are they but okay well making my point for me right basically you are expecting an early lost mid and you are expecting an early lost bot because Graves has more tempo than me because I'm recognizing that we can't really fight the situation but I'm only looking to protect dives and counter ganks and I can't wait okay wait we can do it wait I'm looking to counter essentially so this is the situation this is what's going to happen here I'm going to wait for my mid lane to come on over I could have saved no way dude wait what I smited the wrong thing He was 1 HP. That's so rough. Ah, that's so rough, guys.

That's completely just mechanical error there from me. It should have been an easy kill. That was so easy for me. Okay, so here we can't really go bot because if we go bot it's only kind of three camps here. We can easily kind of go back on true sequence and then go back.

So, essentially we are playing defense a little bit correctly, but just mechanically incorrectly there. I didn't realize that Gragas was already there. I should have been committing full harder earlier, but yeah, it's completely wrong way wrong play by me I guess. That was very very unfortunate to see happen, but it is what it is. We're going to have to kind of live with it.

Going to take this objective here and then we're going to kind of just kind of go all the way back down. You can see the sequence is sequencing, so it is okay. Ah, I can't believe I did that actually. Like I just actually waited for Gragas to get super close to me and then died to him. Ah, it's so rough.

Yeah, I'm just going to smite because I don't want any mistakes. I don't want any weird occurrences to happen again, so I'm just going to have to disappear into the jungle once more. And I'm back here. I think Gragas did show here, so we're going to have to kind of ping that out and let him know. Then yeah, we are going to kind of look to impact mid.

We do need mid lane priority. I do wish that Kassadin joined me at dragon instead of just go bot because we could have just taken out Graves, but and then look to play bot, but honestly I it was just miscommunication entirely, so I did want him to come, but yeah, it's fine. I'm going to have to kind of ping him out there. Wait, I can't click this. Oh, okay.

It is fine. So, it is live, guys. I'm not really too sure what's going to happen, but yeah. Because of our scaling, we kind of automatically win later. So, I'm just going to be playing for our defense.

I'm going to full clear as much as possible and go over to our bot lane. Make sure they're kept alive. Got to kind of just play defense here. They're just going to go. Play defense as much as possible here.

Gragas is very broken champion, you guys know. I missed you. I broke his CC. No way. No way.

I broke his CC, but I didn't get him. No, he spaced that so perfectly and I got exhausted after. My bad. Just run. We should We shouldn't be forcing that hard.

I should just let him die. You can see that the mechanics are not mechanic-ing right now. This is I missed my flash. You know, I missed the earlier play on dragon. This is so This is rough.

Oh. It is good. Honestly, it's really good to have Yeah, it honestly is like really good. Cuz Sona buffs everybody else. So, it's actually good that Sona is accelerated, but yeah.

And this is so rough now because we made some mistakes earlier and Yeah, it's just really tough. We're supposed to go down early, but yeah. How hard you go down early, it just depends. Like it was a mi- minor misplay on Shen and then leads us into some other misplays later. It's like it is what it is, guys.

Sometimes it is very rough. These are very good players, so we're going to be losing out early. But yeah, it's just tough. Nice. And getting very valuable olds is very scary to me, but yeah.

We should have definitely have gotten first drag. It's going to snowball from here a little bit too rough. So we're going to have to slow down the game a little bit more. We just continue slowing down the game. Wait for your scaling.

We cannot be making any more mistakes. Look for counterplays only. Don't really look to play too aggressively. Oh wow, this is That was unlucky. Okay.

Don't like how active we're being on this map and situation here. It's very, very scary to me. No way. Oof. Not really helpful.

It's just really tough to go into. Like earlier I really needed help on dragon. I think this is We're starting to see the effects on dragon. Cuz like it's hard for me to one v two that situation. I thought Cassiopeia was going to help me on dragon.

We're going to have to give it there playing fully for it. We're going to have to kind of go opposite side, but really tough. Mid game it just develops into a little bit tough game cuz of the early dives and then the mechanical misplays and then we just have to play it defensively. We cannot really go. We have to give it.

We'll be giving it. We should be taking opposite side now. Oh [ __ ] there's a ward here. That's very unfortunate. No way.

No way. That's tough. It'll be good. We got the shut down, so it's not too bad. We just have to sequence back down.

We're going to We're diving in a little bit too deep there. Okay, we have just have to recognize that, you know, Graves was open. He's getting some really lucky plays. Well, some bad team play, so going to have to kind of just calm it down. Play for our camps respawns and then try to Maybe we can take this.

It's a little bit tough when it's playing. Maybe we can take this. Just need to kind of slow it down though. If they come, we might have to peel off, but We stole a Graves camp earlier, so he could be on our bot side, but we'll see. No, he's not.

Just continue his jungle here. Okay, the good news is Kog'Maw is 03. Which means that he's actually not doing well. Which means that they're not going to have backline damage for a little bit. It's going to be fully frontline.

Okay, I'm going to just kind of I'm going to just look like You always want to take the opposite lane. I'm going to see if I can still drive it down. I got it. Good. Really good gold swing for me.

Yeah, because they took the dragons, we have to be taking the two top. It's a bad trade, but it's still a trade, so unfortunately, this is kind of going to have to be the case for us. Getting very close to our item here. Although I'm recognizing now that there is a Yummy. So I need to be building Serpent's Fang.

Okay. Let me swap out of Serpent's Fang. Push down opposite side real quick before dragon spawns. Beat first and go. Hit the back first.

It's a perfect gold for my yeah, I have Shurelya's. I can't really spend gold on other things right now. No, no, no. This piece No, no, no. Why?

Why? Why? Why? We're getting one shot by him. Huh?

I should drag them over. Now we can. Just have to kill him first. Cuz Kog'Maw is their main source of damage right now. Not for Graves.

Big shut downs. 0 5 Kog'Maw. That's really tough for ADC honestly. He still has to carry this game. But he's 0 5.

It's really tough. Games are really hard if you're 0 5 and you're forced to carry. Oh well. Maybe we can pick him up. It's really really hard to get in there, but we almost got it.

I should have known we'd get it. I'm playing very poorly this game, honestly. >> Yeah, that's chill. We have giga scaling on us. Going to hit them.

16 Let's just 16 it. I think 16 is good. Let's 16 on pass then go. I think that's a good plan. We have I'm coming over.

Just scaring them away. Frightening them. >> You can make it out. It's good. All right, let's [ __ ] Why am I getting a call right now?

It's happening. Okay, so I picked it up Saturday also. All right, so here play very, very calm and controlled. Wait for counters. We recognize where we girly.

Wait. >> Oh, don't go. Don't go. Oh, wait. Nice.

Nice. We just got it. We just got it. Now we can. Now we can.

Grace of the flash for the next time. We're good. Oh. No. No.

No. No. No. Oh, no. No.

No. No. No. Oh my goodness. Well, that scares me.

Okay. I'm a little worried about that one. Okay. We're fine, right? We're fine.

Now, I traded for two, but we can't trade for zero. Okay. But yeah. We should be fine. Okay.

So, we did get a little bit off track cuz it is very heavy fighting. We do have to focus up a little bit, but you know, we did kind of play out the early game how we wanted to. We didn't really want to force anything crazy. I did make mechanical errors around dragon, but it's completely fine to contest it. I didn't realize I would, you know, kind of die like that.

So, that's why it, you know, I should have gotten kills. I always get kills, by the way. You always want to make sure your laners are very strong here. Yeah, I got outplayed a couple times mechanically. Which is fine.

You need to ping that the blue is going to spawn. Yeah, that's good. Oh, I messed I leveled up W instead of E. Oh. No, blue.

Blue. Blue. Blue is really, really good on us. Pushing it down cuz they're away. They can't really play.

Since they're running away. Honestly, this was a really tough game cuz all of the enemy team are challengers and I'm the only challenger on my team. And I mean what I mean, they have three and we have We just back it off. We sustain a little bit first. Oh, no, no, no.

Stop. Don't dive base. Don't dive base fountain. Oh, no, no. Why did we do this?

Huge. Thanks guys for watching. We fell behind very, very quickly early on and then we couldn't recover until later. I was a little bit thrown off by everything this game, so definitely my fault. I'll give it over to Sona and Karthus.

We're sitting around 1,200 LP challenger right now. But yeah, this was a very difficult game for us to play early on, so definitely a little bit need a little bit more finesse, so hopefully we kind of got the point across. You should only look to play defensive early. Look for counter ganks. You see how Graves was kind of looking for a bunch of plays and although he did pull a little bit ahead, he kind of took all his team's kills and he wasn't able to close it out.

Of course, we do have scaling on our side, but since we played very very calmly, very very controlled, we're able to take it back later. So, Graves did do very very well. He played very very good. But ultimately, had we gone into that situation and, you know, tried to match him, you know, play for play, we would have fallen as well. So, and with that being said, was a little bit I realized I was playing a little bit poorly, so then I kind of stopped a little bit mid-game.

But yeah, thanks guys for watching and like, comment, subscribe. I'll catch you guys in the next
