An example review · Ashe, bot lane, ranked solo

One death, frame by frame

This is a real moment from a real reviewed game, shown the way Leaguio Coach shows it. The match history says Ashe died at 20:10. The recording says why. Every line under a frame is what the coach saw on that exact frame; its words only point at what is there.

Walked into a 5-man mid with Nasus split

At 20:09 you were in mid at 99% HP with Volibear, Wukong, Twitch, Anivia and Lux all visible within a screen of you, while Nasus was half a map away bot and Katarina half a map away top. Six seconds later you were at 60% and you died at 20:19.

The storyboard

Six frames, read left to right and down. The first four are the approach and the decision, chosen by the coach. The last two are added to every death: the first frame where a quarter of the health is gone, and the last frame alive. Boxes are the champions the frame is about; the column beside the minimap names who is where, and a dashed ? is an enemy's last seen position.

Frame 1, -20s: You: mid lane, HP 97%; Visible: Wukong; Unseen: Lux 3s, Volibear 4s, Anivia 4s, Twitch 6s — You: mid lane, HP 97% · Visible: Wukong · Unseen: Lux 3s, Volibear 4s, Anivia 4s, Twitch 6s

Frame 2, -10s: You: mid lane; Visible: Katarina, Nasus — You: mid lane · Visible: Katarina, Nasus

Frame 3, -4s: You: mid lane; Visible: Twitch, Anivia — You: mid lane · Visible: Twitch, Anivia
Anivia is on top of you and Twitch is 3s out.

Frame 4, the decision: You: mid lane, HP 99%; Visible: Twitch — You: mid lane, HP 99% · Visible: Twitch

Frame 5, taking damage: You: mid lane, HP 60%; Visible: Anivia, Twitch — You: mid lane, HP 60% · Visible: Anivia, Twitch
HP 99% to 60% in 6s, Anivia and Twitch close to you.

Frame 6, the death: You: mid lane, HP 34%; Visible: Anivia, Twitch — You: mid lane, HP 34% · Visible: Anivia, Twitch
Last frame alive, HP 34%, Anivia, Twitch within reach.

Why it went wrong

All five enemies were on screen or on the minimap in one cluster, and only Seraphine and Viego were near you. That is a 3v5 by position, and Ashe has no escape once Anivia and Twitch close.

The lesson

When you can see all five enemies grouped within a screen of you and two of your team are in side lanes, hold behind your minions and only fire from max range until Nasus and Katarina have arrived.

What the evidence rests on

20:09: all five enemies visible within a screen of you, Nasus half a map away, Katarina half a map away, your HP 99%
20:15: Anivia visible next to you, Twitch closing ~3s, your HP 60%
20:19: Twitch next to you, death

How this was made

The recording came from the Leaguio desktop app, which records ranked games on its own and uploads them. The coach watches every second of the footage: where each champion is on screen and on the minimap, the player's health bar, where the camera is. The match history supplies the deaths, the gold swings and the objectives. The coach reads the two together, picks the moments worth a lesson, and writes the text. The storyboard is then built from the footage, and any line the footage contradicts is dropped.

The match history's clock and the recording's clock drift apart by several seconds mid-game. This death was pinned to the footage, not the record, which is why the last frame alive is at 34% and not a full-health Ashe standing in lane.
