My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 288 This unit cannot be selected
S13 Preseason.

The League of Legends designers have once again delivered a great version.

First, the introduction of the jungle pet egg system, the increase in Smite damage, and the removal of the jungle pulling mechanism to lower the entry barrier for junglers have brought a wave of backstabbing from the version to many jungle specialists, although they may have gotten used to it.

It's catering to beginners, so it's not shameful.

League of Legends is also envious of Honor of Kings' popularity. Aside from not being as flexible as mobile games, the biggest difference between PC and mobile games is that Honor of Kings is easy to pick up and play.
This is precisely the version that lowers the barrier to entry for jungling.

Prince Ning was then able to make a second comeback.

Otherwise, with his jungle clearing efficiency, he wouldn't even have finished clearing a full lap of jungle camps by the time he reaches level four, while the enemy jungler has already finished clearing, ganking, and is practically right in front of him.

For details, please consult the "Ning Wang Driving Test Part 2" incident on major video websites.

Subsequently.

This is the birth of what can be called the greatest invention of the version – the [Heart Steel].

This brings us to a common problem among all League of Legends players: either their health bar is exceptionally long, their size is exceptionally large, their movement speed is exceptionally fast, or their attack speed is exceptionally high.

And among them.

League of Legends players always have an indescribable obsession with body shape.

This piece of equipment.

The attributes aren't particularly overpowered, but they have an exceptionally strong positive feedback. When it first came out, you could easily stack up to 1000 HP, and if you were serious, you could easily raise various characters with tens of thousands of HP to engage in melee combat.

Highlighting a man's romance.

Even various video platforms, live streams, and online forums are shouting:
Join Hearts of Steel or get out of the ARAM!

[What's the point of winning in a game? I'm number one in the whole game with my heart of steel, and I'm satisfied.]

[Whenever someone other than me plays Heartstealer, even a teammate, the game mode changes from a free-for-all to an arms race. We have to stack our weapons and show them off by clicking each tab after each stack. We can lose the game, we can give up kills, but we can't have a lower stack than anyone else.]

I hereby declare—League of Legends is now renamed the League of Steel Hearts!

Everyone erupted in excitement.

The appearance of Heart Steel even brought back many players who had quit the game, because no one can resist the magical charm of that sudden "clang".

and this.

This also ushered in a new era of frequent battle royale games, with even Luo Ji unable to resist reminiscing about it for a few days.

but
There are some tasks that need to be done.

Despite the disintegration of V5 in S12, their championship skins still generated considerable discussion.

I still remember the night we won the championship.

People from Gwent, Camille, Fiora, and Jayce forums came running as soon as they sensed the danger, looking like they were about to start a fight online.

Especially Jayce.

He wins the championship every year, but he never gets a skin.

Doesn't this rich, handsome guy from Piltover have any pride?

result.

In the end, Luo Ji chose Irelia for the top lane.

The reason is that other heroes may still have a chance in the next version, but Irelia will probably be relegated to the bench after Season 12.

The others also chose their respective skins.

Karsa's Hecarim, Rookie's Syndra with two balls and one hero, Xiao Yan's Sivir in the AD position, and PPGOD's Twitch in the support position.

V5 had originally considered giving XLB a skin.

According to the rules.

To get a skin as a substitute, you need at least two qualifying matches, two group matches, and one knockout match. The earlier conditions are relatively easy to meet.

The knockout stage can begin.

V5 was already challenging GENG, T1, and DRX one after another, so they didn't dare to send him out.

In terms of style.

Everyone agreed with Luo Ji's proposal:

Hellish style, black and red tones, mainly focusing on the Avengers going all the way.

This suggestion was a relief for Riot's skin designers, who were genuinely afraid of creating something like the anime character series that BeryL from Genshin Impact might create.

That stuff is really hard to sell.

Unless it's something bizarre like Magical Girl Urgot, a black and red hellish theme is fine; at least when it's mentioned, they already have a rough idea in mind.

"By the way, everyone else is on holiday, so why are you still here?"

After discussing and finalizing the plan for the championship skin, Luo Ji looked at Karsa, who had come to his house to freeload, and a black line flashed above his forehead.

If I remember correctly.

He went home right after the match, and he's only been here for a few days, right?
How did it get out again?

"You do not understand."

Kasa sighed and lamented:

There's a saying that goes, "When you're poor, no one cares even in the bustling city; when you're rich, even distant relatives come to visit." I thought going home would be a good time to rest, but after I got back, the guests kept coming to my door.

"I just couldn't stand that atmosphere."

"I stayed for a few days and then rushed back. There weren't many people at the club. It's definitely better to just hang out here."

talking.

Casa seemed to have thought of something and said, "Hey, wait, how come you're acting like nothing's wrong?"

"It's simple, because I have no family left." Luo Ji remained calm as he listened to his question.

The rule that time travelers must sacrifice their parents upon landing is something those who know, understand.

"Excuse me, what about the relatives?"

"They're all gone. Not just my family, but my family's family, and my family's family's family. They've all been wiped out in various ways. Even the ancient practice of executing nine generations of relatives wasn't as peaceful as this place. Otherwise, how do you think I'm so invincible in Zu'an?"

Casa:.
No wonder I was upset when I first met this guy.

When you encounter troublemakers in ranked matches, the first thing to do is to attack from multiple angles, centered on your mother and extending to your ancestors, including physiology, morality, upbringing, skin color, appearance, intelligence, and ethics.

Furthermore, it employs various rhetorical devices such as metaphor and parallelism; and quotes proverbs, ancient poems, allegorical sayings, and idioms as offensive tactics—a kind of super-magic.

The most outrageous thing was that he remained unfazed even when attacked. At the time, he admired Luo Ji quite a bit, thinking that this guy had a really good mentality. Now it seems...
So you can't be selected?
Although he was supposed to be there to freeload, Karsa didn't actually live at his house. After winning the championship, the V5 owner gave each of them a small three-bedroom apartment, which was adjacent to each other, as agreed.

Casa would bother him during the day.

night.

If he sees his secretary coming, he will automatically and consciously go back to his house.

During the off-season.

Luo Ji was also called to participate in an All-Star red carpet event, a purely entertainment-oriented competition that included some friendly matches, but it wasn't very prestigious, so I won't go into detail.

He directly picked Yasuo for the top lane in the friendly match.

Then, without any concern for his image, he delivered a score of 2/18/9.

Have a blast!!!

[This is what All-Stars are all about! Even the Finals MVP is playing like this, and it's obvious that everyone else is gradually letting loose too.]

[That Yasuo, there's absolutely no detail involved, just pure fun.]

Why use your brain when playing an all-star game, a purely entertainment-oriented event? Just have fun!

Luo Ji was having a great time.

The audience enjoyed it.

The general attitude towards the All-Star game is simple: either you play completely casually and for fun, or you take it seriously and have a top-level showdown.

The worst situation is being stuck in the middle, unable to please either side, and Luo Ji clearly understands this.

Just let loose and be yourself!
but.

After the All-Star Game, V5 also began early player recruitment, which means gathering early to prepare for the start of the new season.

In this regard.

There were no complaints about V5.

Nakano and Jungle felt that this year's lineup was incredibly lucky, as the two veterans were willing to guide the three of them, the "little Karami," and they had to train together early.

Not to mention Luo Ji's request, they themselves are also eager to return to the team as soon as possible, to improve their teamwork in advance, and to look forward to this year's MSI.

As for the Emperor of the Ruler?

This brings us to the differences between LCK and LPL.

Although the LCK transfer window also lasts for a while, players usually make their official announcements very early on. Early signing means early training, while late signing means no team to wait for.

In contrast, look at LPL here.

Signing early means suffering early, while signing late allows for higher prices.

then.

Between the two regions, LCK is eager to train, gel, and achieve results as soon as possible; while LPL prefers to keep the information to themselves until the very end, and then gather at the last minute.

therefore.

Emperor Chi did not have any doubts about Luo Ji's summons; on the contrary, he accepted it as a matter of course.

This year, for example.

V5 doesn't plan to field his main players in the Demacia Cup.

The entire second team went up to get familiar with the team, but that doesn't mean the main team stopped training. Luo Ji called everyone up in advance to improve team cohesion.

The Spring Split will begin on January 14.

The gathering date was set for December 14th, three days after the Luo Ji All-Star event ended, a full month earlier than planned.

a few days later.

When Ruler arrived at the entrance of V5 Club, looking at the completely different living environment from Korea, he felt a little restrained and subconsciously pushed open the club door.

Immediately after
When he saw what his future teammates were doing in the room, his expression instantly became blank.

because
The training he had imagined didn't happen until he was led into the lounge.

He suddenly realized.

My future teammates are gathered around a big TV screen, playing a multiplayer co-op console game – Overcooked 2?
"Hey, you're finally here?"

Seemingly having spotted Emperor Chi at the door, Luo Ji immediately waved and called out to welcome him.

but.
“Brother, he’s a Korean, not a Liberian, that’s not the pronunciation.” Jwei was completely dumbfounded.

A Chinese person greeted a Korean person in Japanese.

Is this still domestic?

"Oh, I forgot, I thought he should be able to understand."

"???"

Not only were Jwei and the others stunned, but even Ruler himself was taken aback for a while. In fact, when Luo Ji invited him, he had already raised the issue of language communication within the team.

The final agreement was...

Arrange a Chinese teacher for Emperor Chidi to teach him Chinese.

same.

They will also arrange a Korean teacher for Jwei to teach him Korean related to game terminology.

Luo Ji understood perfectly well that if only one person was allowed to study, even if Emperor Chi didn't say it, he would still feel some resentment in his heart.

However, if his assistant suffers with him, under the idea of ​​"being in the same boat," the tacit understanding between Ruler and Jwei might even increase further.

of course.

Thinking too much now is pointless.

By the time Emperor Chi came to his senses, his luggage had already been taken away by Luo Ji and pushed aside.

Instead.

I found myself inexplicably pinned to the sofa, with a Overcooked 2 game controller in my hand.

Ruler Emperor: "?"

Luo Ji: (Thumbs up)
Nothing bridges the gap between people like playing games together, especially since games are touted as a lubricant for friendship and a booster for love.

Ado.

Overcooked Kitchen, start cooking!!!
