How to Review Your League of Legends Games Like a Coach

Match history KDA lies. A real VOD review workflow focuses on deaths, objective setup, and wave states — then AI coaching flags what you missed.

Match history is not a review

OP.GG tells you that you went 4/7/6. It does not tell you why you lost dragon at 18 minutes or which death started the snowball. A coach reviews decisions in order — you can too.


The 20-minute review loop

    • Pick one loss where you felt stuck, not a stomp.
    • Open the timeline — deaths, towers, dragons, baron.
    • Mark three moments: first death, first objective throw, first fight you should not have taken.
    • One sentence each: what did I not see?
    • Queue one game trying to fix only that first moment.

What to look for by role

  • Top — TP timing, wave freeze breaks, split pressure vs group.
  • Jungle — path into prio, failed gank opportunity cost, objective setup.
  • Mid — roam windows, crash-before-roam, side lane assignment after laning.
  • ADC — positioning in first three fights, item spike timing, front-to-back target access.
  • Support — vision before objectives, engage vs peel choice, roam without losing ADC.

Where AI helps

Manual review is slow. UpForge pulls Riot Match-V5 + timeline data and surfaces deaths, objective swings, and vision events with role-calibrated notes — so you start at the right timestamps instead of scrubbing 35 minutes blind.
