Chapter 294 Taking Control! The Weakness of the Left Hand!

Syndra can either initiate with her QE combo to force out LeBlanc's W, or wait for LeBlanc to use her W to step in, then push her away to prevent her from dealing high burst damage.

Syndra may seem clumsy due to her lack of mobility skills, making her vulnerable to ganks from LeBlanc and the jungler, but in reality, it's not that easy.

Moreover, Syndra is not an assassin, but she has burst damage comparable to an assassin. Her damage output in a one-on-one fight is no less than that of LeBlanc, and may even be slightly better.

And the Golden Left Hand was well aware of this.

When playing against most champions, LeBlanc usually learns the W skill. At level 1, she can use an AWA combo to quickly trigger Electrocute and then create distance.

But it might not work against Syndra, so LeBlanc just learns Q at level one.

The player on the left, who plays LeBlanc, learns Q at level 1, just wanting to make his laning phase more comfortable, but he overlooks an important issue.

A level 2 Xin Zhao isn't enough to gank mid lane, so if LeBlanc wants to coordinate with the jungler, she can only learn W at level 1 and E at level 2.

This is how you quickly approach your target and forcefully hold your opponent in place. If you only learn Q at level one, you won't have this ability.

LeBlanc learns W at level 2, which gives her a burst of damage, but she lacks the ability to keep enemies in place.

If you learn E at level 2, then you can only use E-Flash to attach the chain. After all, it's true that jungler Xin Zhao has ganking ability at level 2, but for Xin Zhao to exert control, he has to activate Q and then stab a third time to knock up the enemy.

This means that Wang Yao can confidently exert pressure without worrying about Zhao Xin's ganks.

Many small details that the contestants may not have noticed, but unintentionally exposed a lot of problems.

"Once the enemy Zhao Xin reaches level 2, he most likely won't gank mid lane."

Wang Yao relayed this information to his teammates.

Xiao Tian, ​​who had already developed a tacit understanding with Wang Yao, simply responded and chose to unconditionally trust the other's judgment.

Xiao Tian had originally planned to gank mid lane at level 2, but since that's the case, he'll just follow the normal opening route to develop.

In the mid lane, a LeBlanc who learns Q at level 1 will have a hard time laning against Syndra.

If the two players simultaneously use AQ to exchange damage, LeBlanc's Q has a casting animation, making it impossible for her to reposition and use her skills.

Furthermore, LeBlanc's Q [Sign of Malice] deals damage in two stages, with the second stage requiring other skills to trigger. A level 1 LeBlanc cannot trigger the second stage of Q's damage.

Syndra could easily use her AQ combo and then immediately retreat, as LeBlanc's basic attack range is only 525 yards, while Syndra's is 550 yards.

If Syndra retreats immediately, LeBlanc won't be able to land a second auto-attack, thus failing to trigger Electrocute's damage. Syndra, on the other hand, has Aery, which triggers immediately.

The same strategy applies: LeBlanc will always be at a disadvantage when trading blows, and will never be able to out-trade Syndra.

In addition, Syndra's Q is an AOE damage skill. With LeBlanc standing next to minions, Syndra can both poke and push the lane.

LeBlanc had no choice but to retreat, and Syndra gained control of the mid lane.

However, Golden Left Hand was also happy to see the mid lane minions pushed forward.

Drop the lane, then use the pushback to create a level advantage and launch a surprise attack – this is a tried-and-true tactic in the mid lane.

This is very common in regular ranked games. Players like ZuoShou, who love playing assassins, use this move with unparalleled skill.

But Wang Yao quickly realized what Zuo Shou was thinking. He remembered that Zuo Shou actually had an extremely strong sense of ranked games. To put it bluntly, he was used to playing ranked games and only knew how to mindlessly ensure his own development and then look for opportunities to carry and win the game.

But this is a competition, not a ranked game!

In ranked games, it doesn't matter if you let the enemy jungle go first, but in a competitive game, if your jungle is invaded, should you go to support them?

While personal development is important in a competition, there are often trade-offs between individual development and the overall rhythm of the team.

This is the biggest weakness of the "Golden Left Hand" (a nickname for a player with a strong left hand), and also the biggest weakness of many new mid-laners.

They can't balance playing their lane and providing support effectively!

"Kshine taught Knight a lesson in the mid lane," Miller said with a smile on stage. "Syndra easily gained lane control."

“That’s normal,” the doll said, but then he suddenly exclaimed, “Huh? What is Zhao Xin planning to do?”

The director suddenly switched the camera to Top's jungler, Xin Zhao. Xin Zhao was still in the top half of the map, farming the F6 camp. It was clear that Xin Zhao's route was red buff, Krugs, and F6, quickly farming to level 3.

Zhao Xin then went directly to the river and placed a ward at the entrance of the Dragon Pit.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xin ignored the river crab beside him and burrowed into a small clump of grass in the middle of the upper river to hide himself!

Clearly, he's planning something big!
After a short while, the level 3 Camille appeared in Zhao Xin's field of vision.

Coincidentally, the river crab was heading towards the mid lane, which meant Camille would be brought to Xin Zhao's side.

Camille, who has cleared 4 camps of jungle monsters, is in a very bad state. She's currently using potions and has less than half health left!
"This is bad! Xiaotian didn't realize the danger at all. If Zhao Xin pokes him, he's probably going to give up first blood!"

Just then, Meiko's voice suddenly came through EDG's team voice chat: "Why is the river crab still there in the bottom lane? Is the enemy Xin Zhao in the top half of the map?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian immediately became alert.

Both junglers started with mirror matches, and Xin Zhao and Camille had similar jungle clearing speeds. If their jungle clearing routes were completely mirrored, Xin Zhao would definitely be clearing the river crab in the bottom half of the map at this point.

However, Meiko, who went to provide vision, failed to spot the enemy jungler.

This means that Zhao Xin is likely lying in ambush!

"Camille, don't panic. Pretend you don't know anything. I'll come over and help you take down Xin Zhao!" Wang Yao's voice rang out.

Immediately, based on Meiko's feedback, Xiaotian sent several signals from the river bushes, deducing that Zhao Xin's location was most likely there!
Wang Yao headed straight for the upper river channel.

Zuo Shou was still dealing with the minion wave under the tower, but when he saw Wang Yao moving towards the top lane, he obviously wanted to follow, but hesitated when he saw the minion wave under the tower.

"Syndra is moving towards the top lane, does she know you're ganking?" After a moment's hesitation, ZuoShou communicated with his jungler.

XX was stunned upon hearing this and couldn't help but say, "Then why don't you come over here? We can totally kill Syndra first!"

The four midfielders from both sides are now positioned like a sandwich.

It seems like Camille and Syndra are positioned above and below, sandwiching Xin Zhao in the middle. However, if LeBlanc can come over, it would be equivalent to Xin Zhao and LeBlanc sandwiching Syndra in the middle!
Hearing this, Zuo Shou reluctantly came over.

Seeing that there was no time to spare, XX had no choice but to launch the first attack. He used W to poke Wang Yao in the bushes beforehand, then used Q and E to get to Syndra's face and unleashed a barrage of auto-attacks!
