I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 157-Tell Imp, I'm not going back!

Yuan Shen was not a god, so he naturally did not expect this unexpected situation. When Draven and Morgana appeared on the opposite side, he was stunned.

"Damn, I've been tricked." Karsa frowned.

"If I rush over now and fight monsters with you, I'll lose a lot of time and experience."

Yuan Shen took a look at the minimap. They were on the blue side this time, so the excavator naturally started at the red buff in the lower half, while the crow was far away in the top lane. It was obviously a bit late to go with the excavator to eat the wild monsters at this time.

The main reason was that we were caught off guard tactically and were not prepared to deal with the line change.

Flash Wolves have never practiced lane swapping this season.

Because there is no need.

The lane-switching tactics and the inability to adapt to the version are one thing, but there is also another important piece of information, which is that Riot released the news as early as the beginning of the season that after the end of this year's MSI, Riot will announce a new mechanism - the first blood mechanism of the defensive tower.

After the first blood tower mechanism was launched, the lane-swapping tactic, which was a cancer, completely disappeared from the game.

In other words, the S6 Spring Split is the last half year of the lane-switching tactic. He is unwilling to waste time practicing lane-switching, and the Flash Wolves, which built the team around him, naturally will not force it.

If the lane-swapping tactic is like the Censer Monster, a cancerous tactic that dominates the version, Yuan Shen will practice it even if it is bound to disappear. This is the quality of a professional player.

"I'll go ahead." Sheshe said:
"A Yuan, why don't you just stop going after the jungle? The two of us can just fight the enemy in lane. With Crow and Zyra being two APs, we won't be at a disadvantage against them."

Imp: "???"

Don't you want me anymore?
He glanced at Snake resentfully.

"I think so," Karsa said.

"Good idea." Wei Shen exclaimed.

"Come on." Yuan Shen analyzed the pros and cons and nodded.

So, Snake's Jyra immediately rushed to the top lane, leaving Jhin alone in the bottom lane.

Imp, who hadn't received any advice from the beginning to the end, felt like crying.

In this materialistic society, people's hearts are cold and heartless. Only this wine... No, only this fortune teller still has some warmth.

When facing Poppy alone, the Master Yi has no pressure, but he is afraid of being caught, so he has to control the line steadily.

On the top lane, after Draven and Morgana pushed a large wave of soldiers to the tower, they saw Swain who still hadn't left, and Jyra who had just arrived at the top lane.

"Against Yuanshen..."

Deft pushed his glasses up, trying to cosplay as a certain elementary school student who was a Shinigami, and smiled with interest.

"interesting."

Swain, Zyra vs. Draven, Morgana.

In this situation, Swain can be seen as the ADC position, while Jhin is the top unit.

"It's really... a laning matchup I've never seen before." Ze Yuan looked amazed and excited.

"Hahaha, this season is truly a blossoming season. Every team has their own understanding of the meta and their own unique skills. The matches are incredibly entertaining to watch."

Wawa laughed.

Swain in the ADC position was not uncommon in S8. At that time, Yasuo, Vladimir, and Karthus could all be ADCs... Strictly speaking, calling them ADCs is a bit inaccurate. Even Riot Games changed the definition of bottom lane ADC+Sup to BOT that year, which means bottom lane combination.

However, Yuan Shen was not sure whether Swain could fight against Draven.

Because, the Swain who will go to the bottom lane in the future is a revamped and handsome man with silver hair.

Compared with the current Crow, the reworked Swain is so handsome that you can really sing a line: I'm in love with the old man at the door. The old version of Swain is a masked bald man with a lame leg.

Redo = plastic surgery, nothing wrong with that.

The novel hero combination made Yuan Shen feel a little excited.

Under the protection of Zyra, Yuan Shen completed this wave of tower damage very solidly. At only level 1, he actually used the padding and the damage of the Q skill to beautifully take out all the tower soldiers in this wave. Deft played very aggressively and took advantage of the opportunity to steal two hits on him.

The talent Draven carries in this game is Warlord's Bloodlust.

This talent doesn't play a big role in the early laning phase, but for the hero Draven, even if he lacks one talent enhancement in the early phase, no ADC can defeat him head-on.

With super strong sustained combat power and Morgana's magic shield as a dog, the double AP lineup is really difficult to beat and it is impossible to exchange blood.

Yuan Shen did not force himself to win, but instead focused on finishing off the enemy and developing his skills steadily.

Judging from the scene, the Flash Wolves duo was obviously suppressed. They were always last-hitting near the defensive tower, and were occasionally hit by Draven's A or Morgana's W.

however……

"It's useless!"

Deft smacked his lips in annoyance.

If you can't complete the kill and snowball, you can only take advantage of the last hit, which is called the field advantage.

The advantage on the field, a pressure of more than twenty knives, a lead of several hundred yuan in the mid-term, and one more small item than the opponent, it is not realistic to expect to win the game with this advantage.

Therefore, advantage in the field does not mean victory.

But what really made Deft uncomfortable was not that he gained an advantage on the field, but that they couldn't even gain an advantage on the field.

Yes.

On the surface, the EDG duo pushed the line and reduced the opponent's health, using various postures to attack the opponent. Draven caught the axe smoothly and freely, like an acrobat from a circus.

But... the last hit was not pulled away at all!
The difference in last-hitting between Swain and Draven never exceeded three hits from beginning to end.

Three knives count as pressure?
Come, come, use the money from these three soldiers to buy you a real eye so that you won’t go blind.

What's the point of pressing the line without pressing the knife?
Blood pressure?
Indeed, Swain’s health will soon be depleted to the kill line, but the opponent is the top laner, not the ADC!
The summoner skill includes teleportation. As long as you return to the city and come out again, your status will be full. You can even take advantage of a period of equipment advantage to suppress them.

"Why is this guy so stable in last-hitting?" Meiko took a deep breath.

In the past, when he heard those top laners bragging about Yuanshen's awesomeness and some things he couldn't understand, he scoffed at them, thinking that they were exaggerated and that it wasn't that mysterious.

It's just because he can't beat Yuanshen, so he mindlessly praises him to make himself look less bad.

But after being shown off like a Muggle by his positioning in the last game, and having no experience of suppressing the opponent in this game, he also felt that fear.

Who is this person?!
Without gaining an advantage, Crow returned to the city to buy two cloth armors and then TPed back to the line, and Draven could no longer suppress him.

Now if we exchange blood, the Crows will no longer be at a disadvantage.

Draven, who can't gain an advantage, is very embarrassed...

Because - Draven is not strong.

Whether in professional competitions or high-ranked games, Draven's appearance frequency is pitifully low.

It is undeniable that Draven is the ADC with the highest damage in the early and mid-game. In the late game, with six pieces of equipment, his speed in killing tanks is not much inferior to that of VN and Kog'Maw. He has acceleration and control, which perfectly makes up for the lack of displacement. His critical hit speed in killing squishy targets even surpasses that of assassins. It is really hard to say what shortcomings he has, so most players attribute the low appearance rate to the high difficulty.

However, are professional players really unable to play Draven?
of course not.

First, there's Snake's Crystal, who once scored a 5-kill with Draven in the league, completely devastating the entire field. Then there's JackeyLove, known as the best Draven player in Korea, currently waiting for his summer split debut on Flash Wolves' second team. Both are proficient Draven players, yet they still use other AD carries in many matches, leaving Draven in very few spots.

There is only one reason, and that is the poor output conditions. If Draven wants to deal high damage, he must keep hitting the axe, but the landing point of the axe is visible to both sides. If the opponent throws a control skill or AOE at the landing point of your axe, will you dodge or not?
If you hide, there will be no output.

If you don't hide, you'll be dead.

At the same time, if you want to suppress your opponent online, you must always stay in combat mode.

In other words, this hero must be in the lane and is very easy to catch.

When the opponent chooses Draven, if the jungler does not come to gank, you can interact with him in the public screen and say your dad will plant loquat trees in the pavilion tonight. There is no problem at all.

Of course, if you are killed by Draven before the jungler arrives, don't blame your teammates.

Therefore, Karsa took some vision near the top lane, and after confirming that the opponent's jungler was not in the upper part and would not cause a 3v3 situation, he immediately went to the top lane to make a brilliant appearance and forced Draven to retreat.

Draven didn't touch the line of troops for a few seconds, and the two axes in his hands disappeared instantly, and his combat power instantly changed from top-notch to second-rate.

Yuan Shen blocked the line of troops and began to counter-pressure Draven with Jella.

In addition to the difference in appearance, the old version of Crow and the new version of Crow also have huge changes in skills.

First of all, the old version of Crow's passive ability can restore mana by killing units, and its online endurance is very strong, and mana can be used to easily exchange for the enemy's health.

Secondly, the old version of Crow's Q skill has a longer and wider range, and its ability to clear waves is not inferior to that of Clockwork. The new version of Crow's Q seems to have a shorter cooldown and deals damage faster, but the premise is that you can reach the enemy back row.

The old version of W only had a one-second delay, which often allowed it to control multiple players in teamfights. Its ability to limit advancing heroes was comparable to Phoenix's Ice Wall. As for the new version of W, it seems to have a long reach, but the delay is so high that it's basically impossible to hit. It's a bit fancy and impractical.

The old version of the E skill is an enhanced damage increase: it causes continuous damage to enemy heroes and increases the damage to enemy heroes by 20% within four seconds, including both normal attacks and skills. In the early laning phase, you can use the EQ combo to easily consume blood. If the opponent is imprisoned by W, you can use more attacks and use EQWAAA to hit the enemy hard.

As for the new version of E, it is a control skill that combines imprisonment and pulling. It can be used in conjunction with ganks in the line and is more effective in team battles. Each has its own advantages.

The new version of Crow is better at cooperating with teammates.

But in terms of laning ability alone, the old version of Crow is undoubtedly stronger.

Mingkai has come to the top lane to help his duo counter-gank, but it’s meaningless.

Because the one pushing the line is always Draven, the opponent can gank you whenever they want, but your own jungler cannot help you counter-gank all the time.

The reason why unpopular heroes cannot become the mainstream in the arena is that their flaws are too obvious.

Otherwise, if this hero is suitable for the arena, how could it be that no one has developed it after so many years?
When an unpopular hero is brought out and performs well, it is called black technology.

The unpopular hero who performed poorly was Xia Ji, who dominated the BP.

Seeing Draven actively switching lanes but being suppressed by Crow, the barrage of comments started to mock him.
"Deft is unlucky. Even with Draven he couldn't suppress the opponent."

"This Draven doesn't have the same flavor as Vincent."

"Streamer fans, get out of here! Comparing streamers to professional players?"

This situation was something EDG had never expected before the game.

Based on Flash Wolves' lane changes, they planned to focus on Draven, suppress the opponent's bottom lane or top lane, and then wait for Yasuo + Gragas to reach level 6 before frequently starting to fight over the tower.

Defeated Flash Wolves in the early game!
However, something went wrong again.

The reason was that Draven failed to suppress Crow in the early game. Yuanshen's basic skills and details in the double laning were too good.

Meiko's Morgana failed to hit Crow with any of her Qs this time. Instead, because she kept giving her magic shield to Draven, Crow seized the opportunity and used a full set of skills to hit her with the WEQ combo.

The details of laning in single lane and double lane are very different.

This means you have to calculate one more person's skill cooldown, and you also need to coordinate and have tacit understanding...

The opposing Raven and Zyra had little chemistry, but Yuanshen seemed perfectly attuned to the rhythm of the two-man laning phase. Facing the duo's wear and tear, he last-hit remarkably steadily, more reliably than most ADC players Deft had ever seen.

The precise control of the timing of killing minions with basic attacks reminded Deft of his old rival.

Imp? ?
No, no, no, it’s Uzi, the one who is often praised by fans for his ability to suppress the opponent, and is said by haters to be the only one who can suppress the opponent.

……

This is also a novel experience for Sheshe.

Sheshe had something to say. Playing duo lane with Yuan was so comfortable. He didn't have to worry about his positioning at all, because his positioning and distance control were simply too difficult to solve. Even his basic last-hitting skills were the best among the ADCs he supported...

Snake turned his head to imitate Zz1tai and gave a death stare, looking at Imp who was alone in the bottom lane last-hitting, and wanted someone to say a word for him.

"Tell Imp I'm not going back!!"

However, thinking about Imp, who has become more and more in tune with him and more and more dependent on him recently, Sheshe finally softened her heart.

"Do you want to kill the gods and demons?" Imp asked when he noticed Snake's gaze.

"Let's get rid of all the people in the house, that's enough!"

Humph, go away.

The supports are all ungrateful people who can never be tamed.

"Finish up the damage and wait for me to come back."

Sheshe smiled dotingly and said, "Silly girl, how could I abandon you? You are my Pu Pu."

Seeing that their plan was thwarted, EDG did not sit idly by and responded immediately.

"Look for opportunities in the middle lane!" Pawn stepped forward and commanded.

It's true that Ekko can fight Yasuo on equal terms, but when paired with Gragas, it's a different story.

When an airplane is on the ground, its speed is not as fast as some supercars, but once it takes off into the sky, any other car is inferior to it.

Gragas is Yasuo's wings, allowing him to fly freely.

Mingkai also went all out this time.

He didn't care whether this version was the rise of junglers, and his playing style seemed to have returned to that of S5.

Apart from occasionally clearing the jungle, I was looking for opportunities in the middle lane the whole time.

Gragas was stuck at the edge of the experience zone, waiting for an opportunity. As long as Wei's Ekko moved a little bit forward, Gragas would immediately move forward and annoy Ekko.

If you Q it, you will make a lot of money. If you don’t Q it, it doesn’t matter.

He even knew that there was an eye under his feet, but he deliberately let Ekko see it, sacrificing his own development and forcing himself to be a dog for Pawn.

"Fuck! This bastard!"

Wei Shen was very angry. Because of Gragas's mindless ganking, he had been suppressed by Yasuo for more than ten hits and was forced to use a flash.

"Hold on." Karsa said, "I went there. I couldn't win a 2v2 between mid and jungle, and it gave the opponent an opportunity... If they keep playing like this, the jungler's development will be very poor."

Wei Shen also understood this logic, nodded, and withstood the pressure in the laning phase.

But something happened.

The accident wasn't in the middle lane, but in the bottom lane.
