I can't grow on Twitch. How to grow on Twitch | 2019 guide

Since you are here, I presume you are still a small streamer looking for advice. Assuming you have an entertaining personality, a last generation computer and a high quality camera, you need to understand some technical details about Twitch and to know what you`re doing wrong.

I know before you got here, you reached so many videos and articles that are written by big streamers, telling you how they grew on Twitch. The problem with that is that their advice is no longer available nowadays. Why? Well, old streamers started doing this when the website wasn't that popular and there weren't too many people as a competition, but today there are hundreds of streamers and no one is gonna scroll so much to find you.

The worst advice popular streamers tell new ones is to stream everyday. Wrong. No one wants to stream for four hours for 0 viewers. It means you are wasting your time and then feel frustrated because no one shows up. Why? Because they cannot see you, not because you're no good enough.

It is important to understand that Twitch isn't a discoverable platform and what I mean is that people can't search your content. Also, they don't have the algorithm that Youtube has. If people, for example, watch 80% of one of your videos, that means the video is good and then YT is going to pop your video up because of its quality. Also, you are going to pop up because of likes or comments and it is also a discoverable platform because your title can match a unique search . It is way easier to grow on Youtube.

Therefore, once you decided you want to be a streamer, start a YT channel first and then bring that audience to your stream. I am telling you, it is way more effective to build a community this way than streaming everyday for no people.

Also, don't forget about other social media platforms, like: Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. Create a dedicated account for those and use those goddamn hashtags and join gaming groups and start promoting yourself. Promote your YT channel or your Twitch there with a great short moment video. You will then earn from both platforms and widen your audience.  


Peace!

Sona build for climbing in GOLD | League of Legends

   While I was writing the previous article, I thought you may want to know what build and items I use for Sona. Being in low elo, I could not rely on my team and play with defensive items and I decided to go full AP. Why is that?

   1) Q and its passive did tones of DAMAGE and I could easily harass.
   2) W did a lot of HEAL.
   3) Big impact in my team fights.
   4) E - Easy escape.
   5) CDR - which makes the enemy team afraid in fights

    

 RUNES:

   Summon Aery is perfect for shielding and additional damage with your Q and passive. The enemy HP can drop significantly.

   ManaFlow Band helps you to spam abilities.

   Trandescence gets you cooldown which is very important on Sona or any other AP champion

   Gathering Storm increases your damage.

   Biscuit delivery in early game is perfect, because Sona needs sustain: mana and HP

   Cosmic Insight gives you even more cooldown

Therefore, Sona needs MANA, CDR, DAMAGE to be unstoppable. Once you go on CDR in your runes, you can focus more on DAMAGE items.

ITEMS:

   The core item that you should have in your build is Lich Bane, because you deal more damage with your passive and you have more MANA and some AP. Personally, after boots, I build Rabadon`s Deathcap, because Sona needs to deal more DAMAGE and increase her HEAL in order to win team fights. 

   The next item is Luden`s Echo, because in team fights I spam my W and my MANA tends to get too low. Moreover, I use my abilities while I hit their turrets or inhibitors, because my passive deals more DAMAGE on objectives too which, again, it takes MANA.

   If you get in late game, the rest of my build depends or their team. When they have tank, I go for Magic Penetration (Morellonomicon/Void Staff). If they have a problematic AD or AP champions, I go for Armour (Zhonya`s Hourglass), or Magic Resist (Banshee`s Veil) and then an item with some HP like Rylai`s Crystal Scepter.

 

Silver and Bronze hard stuck? How to get into gold | League of Legends

  

Assuming you are reading this now, I presume you really want to climb next season. Guess what?! It`s not as difficult as you may think. The very first step is to be aware of your mistakes and honest with yourself. Trust me, you cannot be a challenger stuck in Silver V.
   I dare you to watch a ranked game in your history and, certainly, you will see a bad flash or moments when you would want to be there and do things differently. Therefore, watch at least three games with different positions. Keep those mistakes in mind and try to be better.
   The first change that I made in my silver ranked games was to avoid chat. Silvers are so toxic and they focus so much on flaming and proving themselves that they don`t focus on the game anymore. You probably may think that it`s not a big deal. Well, it is. Once I avoided typing and reading toxicity in chat, I felt relaxed more positive about myself. Your mental health is important in playing, because your brain is connected to your reactions.
   The second thing that I did was to pick an easy and OP champion, like Sona. She has tones of heal, movement speed and DAMAGE! Sona is a carry and a support, because I could literally one shot someone and save my entire team with two Ws. I also played Miss Fortune for her ultimate that does damage anyway. Every game I tried to farm more and more, because good farming gets you gold and gold gets you items that lead to winning.
   Therefore, watch you games and see by yourself what mistakes you need to fix. I will leave a link down below for the tips that I used to climb and see you next season in PLAT !
