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

Chapter 182-The magical power of the water dispenser is activated!
Being bullied by Akali, Duke was not really unwilling to fight back. He would naturally turn around and hit three rings. However, he did not dare to chase her too deep. Basically, he would retreat after hitting three rings and would not fight to the end.

The blood transfusion was extremely aggressive, and by the time we reached level 4, our supplies were almost completely depleted...

Since Akali uses more valuable health bottles, while Ekko uses gutter oil, the amount of recovery is far less, so naturally Akali has more health.

Thanks to the Medicine King's playing style, Akali, a disadvantaged hero, actually gained an advantage in the matchup.

But in the long run, corrosive potions are a renewable resource, but red potions are not, so Akali lost some money.

However, except Yuan Shen, no one realized that Ekko's health had reached Akali's killing line.

Secret Art: Scarlet Leaf!
Akali threw a cross sickle, dealing a burst of magic damage to Ekko and applying a six-second [Crimson Leaf Seal]. Then, Akali took two steps forward and attacked with a basic attack, triggering the seal and dealing a higher second burst of magic damage.

Of course, Ekko would not be hit in vain, so he directly used QEA to hit three rings.

A very common wave of blood exchange and consumption.

At least, that's what Duke saw. Akali didn't use [Ultimate: Dawn Array] to chase, but turned back to finish off the enemy.

So, after Ekko moved away a little, he turned around and went back to last hit. As soon as he got close, Akali threw another Q at him and hit him... Her movements and positioning were very careless, as if, "Oh, I'm done turning, Ekko is coming, so why not throw it at him?", with no killing intent at all.

After throwing it, Akali continued to last hit on the spot and did not trigger the Scarlet Leaf Seal.

However, just four seconds later, Akali suddenly threw another Q.

Yes, the old version of Akali has a very special feature, that is, the duration of Q's mark is six seconds, which is longer than the cooldown of skill 0 itself.

This led to the birth of a little trick unique to Akali.

Akali launched her second Q, and the scythe flew in the air. Almost at the same moment, Akali flashed to the face and attacked with a single attack, triggering the mark. She activated [Ultimate: Scattering Flowers], canceling the backswing of the normal attack, and launched another seamless normal attack, which happened to trigger the second Q skill flying to Ekko.

Q (first shot), Q flash AEA——
Fast! Extremely smooth, achieving the theoretical maximum speed for this combo. Just the time it takes for a Q skill to fly, a mere breath, and it's over.

Ekko, who had just used his E skill, suddenly lost a lot of health and died instantly.

Duke saw the dim screen, his face filled with confusion, and he almost became autistic on the spot.

Logically speaking, if he had used flash immediately and not been hit a second time, he would most likely not have died, but you can't say for sure, as Akali still hadn't used the slowing effect of the Xayah Array.

Duke was able to react and use his flash.

But the problem is, he doesn't think he will die. How can Akali have such high damage in the early stage?
In fact, Akali's output is not low. She is weak in the early stage because of her lack of flexibility. Her arms are too short, and she will be hit when she wants to get close to the enemy. In this case, no matter how high the damage is, she can't beat the enemy... It's like the crocodile has no E skill, and is just a fool who is kited by others.

Therefore, after getting the three-stage ultimate, Akali suddenly made rapid progress. The damage of those three ultimates is not really high, but it makes up for the flexibility that Akali lacks the most...

The ugly duckling becomes a swan not because of his hard work, but because he is originally a swan's cub. The same is true for Akali.

"Sure enough, Duke is not familiar with Akali." Yuan Shen calmly completed this solo kill without any panic.

The passive of the old version of Akali is that every once in a while, the first two normal attacks will have an enhanced effect.

The first normal attack is to restore health.

The second normal attack causes additional magic damage.

This extra magic damage is not low, it is a bonus from dual cultivation.

Akali starts out with a long sword. When she attacks at level 1, she triggers her second normal attack, and the panel value will be 100, which is very painful.

Level 55 Q, basic damage .

Trigger the Q mark, 70 magic damage, plus normal attack damage, which is 120.

Level 1 E's basic damage is 70, which is also a dual cultivation bonus.

100+55*2+120*2+70=520。

A rough calculation shows that Akali at level 4 can use this combo to achieve a '520' instant burst.

You mean the enemy hero's magic resistance reduction?
But this burst of damage does not include the damage of Thunder. The two cancel each other out. Combined with the double penetration rune, 500 points of damage is the minimum.

A level 4 hero with points of burst, what does that mean?
We usually call this kind of person a gambling monster. Back then, Chen Daozi... ahem, usually only strong assassins in the early stage like Leblanc and Zed could have it.

Duke never expected that Akali, a hero generally recognized as weak in the early game, could have such a terrifying burst, so he didn't use flash immediately.

Don't blame Duke.

The longer a professional player has debuted, the more heroes he has played. There are many players who have used all the heroes in the league, and there are also many who have played in casual games.

But having played a game and being proficient in it are two completely different things. The former only means knowing the skills and characteristics of the hero, while the latter can be used to carry the player in professional competitions.

Even if you don't master popular ranked heroes like Riven or Crocodile, after playing hundreds of games, you'll learn by analogy what combos the opponent has, how much damage they deal, and how to deal with them. But Akali is different. This hero is unpopular and almost invisible in high-end games...

There are too many powerful heroes in this version that professional players need to practice, and they really don’t have time to study this.

Even if the version is strong, you still need to practice selectively.

For example, the strong mid laners in this version are Kassadin and Syndra. First, see which one the player is good at in the game. If they are good at Kassadin, then they will focus on Kassadin, and there is no need to practice Syndra...

why?
Because the version is too strong, it must be nerfed, idiot. You practice so hard, but in less than a month, it will be gone in the next version. It's a thankless task and a waste of time.

Unless it's a major tournament like the S-League, where one version of the game lasts for a month, professional players will put in all their effort to thoroughly master this version and become proficient in every powerful version...

But Akali... Sorry, this hero was never popular before the rework.

Duke suddenly felt a pang of disgust, as if he had eaten a lemon. "Even this unpopular and weird hero can be played so well by this person..."

Such great talent.

Even Yuanshen certainly doesn't have much time to practice unpopular heroes. There is no Akali in the Rank records of the last few hundred Rank games.

The total number of games is estimated to be no more than ten. I can use the practice of these ten games to carry in professional competitions. What kind of devil am I playing against?

The third generation top laner of SKT had the same idea as the second generation.

Little did they know, Yuan Shen had only practiced three times. The first was a pub game, the second was last year's regular season, and the third was the wildcard game in the group stage...

Yuanshen got a solo kill.

However, this was not first blood.

Just at the moment when Yuan Shen suddenly attacked, someone took the lead in killing him.
-
It was bottom lane. Ten seconds earlier, after Bengi had cleared F6, he suddenly hit the dragon with a single Q, decisively triggering his second Q to reach the dragon pit. Just when everyone thought Bengi was going to steal the dragon, he took a few hits from the dragon, approached the wall on the bottom half of the dragon pit, and used his ward to cross it.

As soon as this action appeared, the pupils of the three CPL commentators all shrank.

Many viewers who were at a higher level and had a thorough understanding of the game were also secretly shocked.

Because this strange move perfectly avoided all vision of Flash Wolves protecting the bottom lane.

Flash Wolves' Ashe + Caitlyn is bound to be a combination of pushing the line and suppressing the enemy. Karsa must focus on protecting the bottom lane. Akali is not afraid of being caught because of the Xayah formation.

Therefore, the vision of the bottom lane was sufficient in this game. One eye was placed in the triangle grass, one eye was placed at the intersection of F4 in the lower half of SKT, and counting the crab vision in the center of the river, there were three vision areas in total. The protection vision that should have been impenetrable was avoided by Bengi in a blind guess.

If this hadn't been researched in advance, no one would believe it.

"SKT's research is very thorough. They know exactly where Flash Wolves will habitually place wards when protecting the bottom lane today." Miller frowned.

"Even if the Flash Wolves players consciously try to change this habit, it won't be fixed in just ten minutes of halftime..."

From the reaction of Flash Wolves' bottom lane, SKT could judge that their research was correct and their gamble was successful.

But they were not in a hurry. Instead, they let Bengi's Lee Sin stand in the blind spot for a while, and then launched an attack after Lee Sin's Q and W were cooled down.

It's like the calm and ruthless mentality of an old hunter when dealing with prey locked in a cage.

When Jyra flashed and WE took the initiative to imprison Ashe, the Flash Wolves' bottom lane realized that something was wrong. Who would flash to the face of the enemy without saying anything? It must be the jungler.

Although he couldn't figure out how the opposing jungler avoided vision, Imp used his flash decisively.

But this flash completely eliminated his chance of escape.

Lee Sin uses his eyes to flash E, close to the face with ice, breaking bones, and slowing down!
Jyra and Jhin stepped forward to keep up with the control and output.

Another weakness of Miss Gun's support has appeared, that is, this hero has no protection ability at all, and can only slow down the enemy, which is not as good as Star Mother...

So, Snake threw an E symbolically, turned around and ran away without mercy.

Imp glanced at him dimly and sighed helplessly.

They have been together for half a year, and selling Imp is not the first or second time. Sheshe changed the subject with a normal expression.

"This idiot chicken is quite capable. How did he evade vision this time? I'm going to review it after the game..."

I also need to review how cool it was when you turned around and sold me...

Imp complained silently.

The two didn't care too much about this wave of deaths. Maybe the CPL commentator was helping them to shift the blame, saying that this wave was "not a loss" or something, but in fact--
This wave is really not a loss.

Ashe and Jhin's troops pushed forward to the enemy tower. Even though one of them died, they didn't lose any troops. The enemy only earned the kill money and used two flashes...

Snake was typing the flash times of Jyra and Lee Sin in the chat box, and they all showed a tacit smile.

How could the Ashe + Caitlyn routine only be useful for suppressing people in the lane and being strong in Poke?
Level 6
Like Akali, level 6 is the time for this combination to show its strength.

It is also the focus of the entire Flash Wolves.

It is impossible to say that it is not a complete loss after the ADC in the bottom lane died. It is just that Flash Wolves felt that they could fight back later and could accept this short-term disadvantage.

Ashe died, and the SKT duo quickly pushed back the line of troops. The two immediately returned to the city to update their equipment.

But after the equipment was updated, Wolf did not rush to the top lane immediately. Instead, he made a pair of straw sandals and followed the jungler Lee Sin to roam towards the upper jungle area of ​​​​Flash Wolves.

According to Karsa's jungle route, he is most likely going to farm Toad at this moment.

The reason why SKT dared to make such an inference was not only because they had studied Karsa's jungle route habits, but also because Karsa had appeared in the field of vision before. According to the remaining time of the buff on Zac, the number of jungle last hits, and Karsa's personal habits... the answer came out.

Inferring the approximate position of the enemy jungler based on the number of jungle clearings is an indispensable ability for professional players, whether it is to prevent being caught or to counter jungle...

In addition, due to the shortage of trinket wards in the early game, Zac is likely to have his vision set up in the lower half of the jungle, leaving no defensive wards in the upper jungle area!
“Got it!”

Lee Sin and Jyra ran into Zac in the jungle, who had just finished clearing the clam and was low on health.

Karsa was shocked. If there was only Lee Sin, Zac, who had flash, E and passive, would have a chance to run away, but adding another Jyra would be too much.

Isn't Wolf the support with the lowest roaming rate at this MSI? How did he end up roaming into my top jungle at level 4?
This is called doing the opposite.

SKT has also been studied by people. How could the playing style remain unchanged? Wolf always protects the ADC, and occasionally makes a magical roaming move, which can create miraculous effects at critical moments.

This wave of roaming and catching people was too clever. Even with Karsa's superb escape skills, he paid a heavy price. Zac used flash and passive and was able to escape back to the tower.

SKT's two consecutive successful offensives helped Duke calm down his guilt over being killed alone. No one wanted to be a burden to the team...

Duke's chanting was like a Buddhist scripture, just like a tape recorder.

"Hold on, hold on! Hold on..."

After Akali secured first blood in the early game, she was unable to exert significant laning pressure on Ekko due to her short legs, even with her item advantage. But that situation... would soon change."

As soon as the level 6 upgrade special effect flashed, Duke immediately retreated, but Yuan Shen still got there first.
-
[Secret meaning! Phantom cherry blossoms kill in chaos].

The ultimate move kills directly, AQEA bursts out instantly, and the haze array spreads out.

The shadow of the shroud slowed down Ekko, and he decisively used the active skill of Bilgewater Scimitar, causing Ekko to slow down again.

Since he went out with a long sword and got a kill, Yuan Shen bought this equipment when he returned to the city in the first wave. He couldn't even afford a blood bottle. The benefits were obvious.

Under the double deceleration, even if he hits three rings, Ekko can't run.

He caught up with him and fired another AQEA with high burst damage, forcing Duke to use his flash and escape back to the tower to survive.

The level 1 [Secret Skill! Phantom Cherry Killing Chaos] will automatically store one every thirty seconds, and automatically refresh one when killing someone. There is only one R when it is just upgraded to level 6. If it is used up, Yuan Shen will not be able to cross the tower.

But it doesn’t matter, I made a lot of money this time.

Akali turned around and pushed the line.

Destroy the flash and reduce the health. In the next wave, Akali has the R skill, which is enough to cross the tower. If Ekko doesn't call the jungler, the soldiers under the tower cannot be eaten.

Should I call people or return to the city?
