I will link a few videos, some are footage of previous mods, but you should still be able to learn some things from them:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zzeF2OVzgA (previous mods, solo CN)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_iGZU-Sbk8 (this mod, elol, not from the 2 CW's perspective, but you can still see whats going on)
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2o0b4c (This mod, epic ToS)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko5VCyTdpEY (previous mods, duo etos, from Dc's perspective)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hfmkTjrfrE&spfreload=10 (This mod, VT)

Out of those 5 videos, the only guy who seems to know what he is doing is the "solo CN run" person. The rest don't really have a good sense of what is going on around them or are either not using important mechanics of the class or just seem inexperienced overall.

I agree (icestorm cw, cw not using Steal Time for 20 seconds,burden CWs) except for the eLoL run.
I know Agathe Bauer is experienced, but the laggy video might make it hard to notice whats going on.

Except that there is an awful lot of LifeSteal healing that appears to be going on and is no longer as useful.

Well, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it, good to know, as per video nr 2, that I am inexperienced I will make sure to improve before I post any links to vids with me in it (Sharpedge) Any advice/suggestions are welcome, but bear in mind that with those suggestions you need evidence to support them

It wasn't easy to keep track of you the whole time because of the weird fov and constant jumping around of the HR, but I noticed 2 things that you did and/or didn't do.

- No skill animation cutting by using skills in a certain order
- You were moving around in situations where you should have spent time managing spell twisting stacks and paying attention to rotation

Now I realise that criticizing without providing material of myself isn't fair, but I felt like the "eLoL speedrun" title was unjustified when it felt like you guys weren't using your characters to their full(or highest possible) potential.
I did not say that particularly you were inexperienced, but the "not using important mechanics" does apply to you.

I do not follow a set rotation you are right, but that is because I am often swapping abilities out and in. I am a solid believer in the idea that a "rotation" is actually objectively a negative thing as it makes you reliant on a set of executions in a particular order and so it makes you unable to adapt to new situations. I did not during that run use steal time for example, as the assassin drakes attack quickly and so you don't have time to make use of its full power most of the time. As to moving around a lot, well, its habit. Last mod I did a lot of solo play in dungeons and when you run from one door to another, there is a lot of red on the ground. Do that a few times over and it makes you play supremely carefully, I suppose I can accept I could probably do less moving and it is something I will endeavor to improve on.
