Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 141 Killing someone by destroying their spirit! Armor-piercing EZ
Since the development of LPL, and throughout the nearly 8-year history of League of Legends, there has never been an ADC player who could serve as the team's commander.

Humans are not precision-machined machines; if one thing takes up too much of your attention, problems are bound to arise.

What is command? Initiating team fights? Vision control? Strategic positioning? Split-push tactics?
In a competition, people often share information with each other, and those with ideas provide follow-up strategies based on that information.

Everyone has a different perspective, so their ideas will also differ.

There are people who can initiate team fights, and anyone can initiate a team fight, as long as they make a judgment and their teammates agree or trust them.

In contrast to the hero microphone, the person initiating the team fight, whether they have already engaged or are about to engage, will say things like "Can we fight? Can we fight?"

A field of vision is for acquiring information; this is a secondary function.

The overall strategy and control are often determined by the lineup from the very beginning. The strengths and weaknesses of the lineup, the various pressures in the laning phase, and the possible clashes in the mid-game are all based on the experience of each player.

Split pushing is often a decision made by the top laner, with statements like "I can push this wave, you guys hold them off, they won't be able to get back and will collapse" or "They can't beat me one or two at a time."

In short, there's no such thing as you giving orders and everyone following your lead.

If this were to happen, it would only occur if one or two experienced players were mentoring three or four new players.

Most of the time, experienced players make the decisions, although this is a very rare occurrence.

Even when an experienced person is mentoring a newcomer, the newcomer will generally provide decision-making assistance.

Take EDG as an example. When 7 wasn't playing, Meiko was the shot-caller. But when 7 played, 7 became the shot-caller. Why?
Two words: experience.

In fact, command often doesn't need to be based on position. PDD commanded during the old IG era, and Doinb commanded during RW's current era. Each team has its own style, and each player has their own personality. It varies from person to person.

As for support and command, firstly, unlike solo laners who need to constantly monitor the minion wave and focus on laning, support doesn't have any connection to the lane. Rather, they have more free time to observe the minimap compared to other positions.

Secondly, the assistant player will not feel the pressure of performing subtle operations such as last-hitting minions.

But now all three commentators see a hint of unreality in Uzi. He is a player who can do well in the details, but also has to take into account the situation on the field and make judgments. He is like a robot, precise and meticulous.

Of course, if Li Luo knew that the commentators thought this way, he would be both amused and exasperated.

This tactic is only effective when used for the first time or the first few times.

If this were the S8 World Championship, let alone this kind of tactic, all sorts of unconventional moves like double AP bot lane or Pyke roaming all three lanes in the top lane would have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Right now, he's just giving LPL teams some advance training on how to respond to unpredictable plays.

After pushing down the top lane's first tower and taking down the Rift Herald, the three returned to replenish their supplies and then grouped up to push the mid lane.

At this point, Ezreal had already acquired Manamune, but continued to laning in the bottom lane, where he didn't gain much benefit.

On the contrary, in such complex team battles, one can rely on the Kleptomancy talent skill to catch up on development.

On the other hand, destroying the tower of the clockwork can also curb its development.

With the impact of the Rift Herald, the mid-lane tower, along with the previously stolen point, was reduced to less than a third of its health.

With this amount of health, the defense tower will definitely fall, and I dare not defend it at all.

Two kills, over 120 CS, similar development to the mid laner Orianna, it's really exaggerated.

Even for a champion like Ezreal, who is very easy to farm, his damage output gradually becomes unpredictable under this kind of development.

But... this was just the beginning of Rw's nightmare. In a normal game, ADCs should build more defensive items to increase their margin for error.

Especially for champions like Ezreal, when facing a lineup with many assassins, they should immediately build an Iceborn Gauntlet after Manamune to improve their survivability.

However, against a lineup like Rw's, if you want to continue to expand your advantage and get Ezreal into his power spike quickly, building Trinity Force is the way to go.

But Li Luo did the opposite, directly taking out the serrated dagger from the later A-class guild, and also bought a longsword.

"Still want to lane?"

Seeing Varus with only a scimitar, attack speed boots, and three attack speed swords, Li Luo's killing intent rekindled.

In this situation, Letme should have been substituted to withstand the pressure, and the bot lane duo should have gone to push the top lane. However, because this game was a bit strange, the top and mid lane towers fell first.

Therefore, after 15 minutes, the two bottom lanes are still laning.

Varus, who went 0-2, was in a terrible state, but with Tahm Kench by his side, it's no wonder he didn't leave even though he knew Ezreal and Karma would be coming.

You can't blame Liu Qingsong for being incompetent.

Because he didn't know just how explosive Ezreal's damage would be with a gear advantage, especially with items like Manamune and Serrated Dirk.

Or rather, not just Rw's bot lane, but across the entire world, only about 1% of people currently know how terrifying Ezreal's damage with Serrated Dirk is.

Everyone's impression of Ezreal is still that of a ranged poke or a flexible ADC who is not easy to die.

In Ma Ge's opinion, even if Ezreal went back and bought Trinity Force, he still wouldn't be able to kill him with Tahm Kench protecting him. He could have easily used Tahm Kench to avoid Ezreal's first burst.

"A serrated dagger?"

By the time Mago saw Ezreal and Karma coming around from the river, it was too late.

Precise Bullet Screen (R) —
As the two came into view, a barrage of yellow laser beams struck Ma Ge, dealing massive damage that took away a third of his health.

But that wasn't all. Before the toad could react and was about to eat Varus, Ezreal, with Karma's shield, used his E skill to jump in and skillfully executed the WAQ combo.

The armor-piercing damage of the Serrated Dagger was fully demonstrated. In an instant, Ma Ge's Varus was left with less than a third of his health, and with Ezreal's auto-attacks, that health was still dropping!

The Ezreal build with armor penetration was first developed by Qiqi after her Manamune and Archangel's Staff Ezreal were nerfed, and it even sparked a trend.

Now that Li Luo has brought this strategy forward, it's like advancing the timeline by almost a whole version, and the Ezreal armor penetration build remained popular until Season 10.

"Don't go out! Don't go out! If we go out again, we won't be able to raid anymore!"

Doinb, who was in charge, looked at the screen and said with a mournful face as he saw the bottom lane duo die.

"Ezreal's armor penetration items deal way too much damage, and because of the passive attack speed buff, he's basically an auto-attack-based ADC with armor penetration. The damage is incomprehensible!"

After scrutinizing EZ repeatedly, Liu Qingsong said timidly.

"Let's play it safe and farm until around 25 minutes, then try to engage in team fights, otherwise we're really going to lose!"

Doinb could only helplessly console himself, saying that he was the only one left alive on the team; all the other teammates had already perished.
