You don’t need to wait until you hit a certain rank to start coaching — players at any stage of their ranked journey can benefit.
A lot of people believe you need to already be high elo before it’s “worth it,” but that’s simply not true. If anything, the earlier you start, the faster you’ll build the right habits and avoid common mistakes.
Think about traditional sports: kids start working with coaches from a very young age to learn fundamentals. League is no different — whether you’re new to the game or pushing for Challenger, structured guidance can speed up your progress and give you clarity on what to work on next.
The Top Lane Academy focuses on fast paced, practical, personalized coaching that’s included in your membership.
Coaching is delivered through 1-on-1 VOD reviews in a group setting, meaning you’ll get direct feedback on your own games from a coach.
Sessions run multiple times per day for 1-2 hours, giving you plenty of opportunities to join. When it’s your turn, the coach will go through one of your games in detail for about 20 minutes, breaking down the match and giving you a learning objective—so you know exactly what to work on.
On average, members can expect to receive coaching every 2-3 weeks, while still gaining value from content, #vod-questions, and watching others’ reviews in between. This consistent cycle of feedback, combined with champion guides, fundamentals courses, and the community, ensures you’re always moving forward in your ranked journey.
You don’t need to wait for some “perfect” moment to get coaching — as long as you are willing to put in some effort and come in with an open mind, coaching can speed up your climb and make the ranked journey more fun and rewarding.
Coaching is especially helpful if you’ve been hard stuck at a rank, feel confused about what to focus on, or simply want to speed up your climb. It’s also a great option if you’ve swapped roles or are learning a new champion, since a coach can shortcut the trial-and-error process and point you in the right direction.
At the end of the day, players at any rank can benefit. Just like in traditional sports, where kids get coaching from the very beginning, starting early helps you build the right habits and avoid wasting time on the wrong things. Whether you’re brand new or aiming for Challenger, coaching gives you clarity, direction, and faster results.
