The Academy · League of Legends Coaching
Most coaching teaches you what to do.
I teach you how to think.
My name is Shelbion. I have been coaching League of Legends professionally for nine years, working with over 5,000 students across every rank, role, and region.
My background spans individual players, teams, and the US collegiate scene. I am a verified Metafy partner and have delivered over 8,000 coaching sessions across more than 30 countries.
Most coaches will tell you what to do in a specific situation. What I do is different. Every session is built around teaching you how to think about the game so that the right decision becomes automatic — not something you have to remember under pressure.
The players I work with do not just climb. They understand why they are climbing and what to do when the climb gets hard.
Free. 8 to 10 minutes. Before anything starts, we talk. I walk you through exactly how the coaching works, what each phase looks like, and how pricing is structured. You ask whatever you need to ask. No commitment, no pressure. Just clarity on whether this is the right fit for where you are right now.
Your diagnostic. Think of this as the doctor's appointment before the prescription. I assess your mechanics, your decision-making patterns, your macro habits, and the specific gaps between where you are and where you want to be. Everything that follows is built on what we find here.
The classroom layer. We rebuild the mental frameworks you use to make decisions. Wave management, resource allocation, map reads, win conditions, champion and role specific strategy. This is macro and decision making at a level most players never reach. You will not find this in patch notes or tier lists.
The application layer. VOD Reviews where we go through your footage and identify the exact patterns costing you LP. Live Coaching where I watch you play in real time and give you direct feedback as the game unfolds. This is where the theory gets tested under real conditions and the gap between understanding and execution closes.
Ready to start? The first call is free and takes 10 minutes.
Join DiscordYou are stuck and you do not know why
You are watching VODs, reading guides, and grinding games — but the LP is not moving. Something is wrong with the way you are thinking about the game and you cannot see it from the inside.
You want to understand the game, not just play it
You are not looking for a list of tips. You want a framework — a way of thinking that makes the right decision obvious rather than something you have to look up after the fact.
You are willing to examine your own gameplay honestly
Progress requires looking at your mistakes clearly, not defending them. The players who improve fastest are the ones who come in ready to be wrong about things they thought they understood.
Any rank, any role, any region
I work with players from Iron to Diamond and everything in between. The rank is not what matters. The willingness to approach the game differently is what determines whether coaching works.
Not sure if this is what you need? That is exactly what the initial call is for. Ten minutes, no commitment. We figure out what you are dealing with and whether coaching is the right way to fix it.

Most players who come in after a bad coaching experience were given tips without a framework. They were told what to do in specific situations but never taught how to think through new ones. The process here is different. We start with a diagnostic to understand how you actually play, and everything after that is built around what we find. If coaching did not work before, the problem was almost certainly the method, not you.
Most players notice a shift in how they think about the game within the first two to three sessions. Rank results depend on how consistently you play and apply what we cover. The students who climb fastest are the ones who treat sessions as the beginning of the work, not the work itself. The initial call is free specifically so we can assess whether coaching makes sense for your situation before you spend anything.
None. The Discord is free and open. Come in, introduce yourself, tell me your role, your rank, and what you are struggling with. I will tell you whether it is something we can fix quickly or what kind of session would address it. There is no sales pitch. The conversation itself will make it obvious whether coaching is the right move.
If you have been playing consistently and your rank has not changed in months, volume is probably not the issue. Most players who plateau are repeating the same patterns without realising it. Playing more just reinforces those patterns faster. Coaching helps you identify what you cannot see from inside your own gameplay and gives you something specific to work on instead of grinding the same habits.
Yes. The coaching is built around decision making and game sense, which applies across every role and champion. I have worked with players from Iron through Diamond, across 30+ countries, and I have experience coaching in the US collegiate scene. Your rank tells me where you are. It does not determine what is possible.
Pricing is discussed on the initial call because it depends on what makes sense for your situation. Some players want a single diagnostic session. Others want ongoing work over weeks or months. There is no fixed package. The initial call is free and I walk you through exactly how it is structured before you commit to anything.
If you are serious about your climb and want to understand exactly what is holding you back, the Discord is where we start.
