LOL: I really didn't want to be a comedian!

Chapter 141 Armor! Is it the Watcher's Armor?
Seeing Jess's ambiguous position and the expression on Jess's head, Ning ultimately had no choice but to retreat.

He knew his position was likely a sensitive one, and he was deliberately wasting his time in an already ambiguous spot.

Peanut is playing Nidalee in this game. He clears jungle camps very quickly. Never force yourself to do something you can't do.

Otherwise, it's easy for Little Peanut to dominate the rankings!

"Old Song, I'm leaving. Be careful!"

Ning gave a reminder and then chose to retreat to farm jungle monsters.

In the mid lane, Di Wu avoided Ning's gank thanks to his awareness, but Flandre in the top lane didn't have it so easy.

In this matchup, in a simple 1v1 situation, Quinn can completely dominate Renekton, especially with TheShy's Quinn.

Flandre could only try to gain experience by force. Peanut had already farmed up to the top half of the map, but the minion wave in the top lane was too weak at this point.

"I might have to go to the lower half of the zone to eat river crabs; he's helping the bear control the river crabs!"

Peanut didn't rush to engage in a fight in the top half of the map. If he managed to get Flandre to come over in this wave, Flandre would definitely sacrifice herself to help, but he would lose at least two waves of lane minions, which could completely ruin Renekton.

He could accept each side receiving one river crab.

"IG did a good job. They wanted to create a very comfortable 1v1 situation for TheShy. Ning's attempt to gank Jayce was also to put pressure on him!"

On the commentary desk, Guan Zeyuan still managed to discern some of IG's strategies.

Their 1v1 laning advantage is huge, so TheShy can just tutor Flandre one-on-one.

Don't give LGD a chance to farm Renekton and Nidalee in the top half of the map; instead, push Nidalee towards the bottom lane.

After Peanut finished off the river crab in the bottom lane, he turned his attention to the bottom lane as well. GALA had the Dawnbreaker in his hand, which presented an opportunity.

GALA's Initiation of the Dawn Spell hit Puff. Although Puff retreated quickly, Nidalee in the river had already arrived. The Dawn Spell's root, combined with Nautilus's Q, provided crowd control.

Nidalee landed a hit, and Ezreal's health instantly dropped below half.

The moment Nidalee pounced, EZ flashed away and retreated. Bard, seeing this, also flashed away.

"Two flashes in a row! EZ's health is actually a bit low! Ning and Rookie are already moving towards the bottom half of the map, there might be a 4v4 situation there?" LaoK commented while analyzing the situation: "A 4v4 in the bottom lane is actually very difficult for LaoZhu, isn't it?"

All the firepower was drawn away, so TheShy must have been the happiest person on the field.
But just when he thought this was going to be a showdown in the lower half of the bracket...

Jayce in the mid lane didn't chase Orianna and Volibear to the bottom lane, but instead headed towards the top lane.

"Oh? Gnik! He saw through the essence of this game! He knows that if he doesn't help Lao Zhu now, the bear will reach level six later, and the crocodile will keep getting ganked!" Lao K nodded vigorously.

So Gnik is the Spring Split champion? Your understanding of the competition format is truly awful!
The Volibear is too good at tower diving. Right now, IG's bottom half of the map is just drawing fire and giving TheShy a good push. After Ning reaches level six, that will be great.

Quinn and the bear will start playing the game together, and that's when Flandre will truly understand what a game mechanic monster and a stat monster are all about!
"Fran, can you stop him? Go up and trade blows with him, make him use his W!"

Di Wu had just set off when he began directing Flandre, saying that Quinn's role in the top lane was quite complex, and she was very good at 1v1 against champions like Renekton.

Furthermore, W provides vision, and the ultimate ability allows for faster travel while saving TP, making it difficult to target.

Upon hearing this, Flandre immediately used her E to move forward, and with her newly accumulated red rage, she used her W to hit Quinn. However, at that moment, TheShy used his E skill to kick out and create distance.

He turned around and placed A on the crocodile, pulling and tugging at it while also using W to check vision. Although Nidalee was in the bottom lane, Jayce was nowhere to be seen.

"Did he go to the bottom half of the bracket with Rookie?"

TheShy checked the surrounding vision and couldn't help but smile. This 1v1 was so satisfying.

The crocodile was completely powerless to fight back; in just four minutes, he had already suppressed the enemy by nearly ten strikes.

At this moment, Di Wu had already circled around from IG's jungle area to the purple team's top lane tri-bush area.

He didn't rush out, but waited for the crocodile's next set of skills.

The minion wave was slightly blocked in front of the turret. Just as TheShy pokeed the Renekton at point A, what emerged from the fog of war behind him wasn't his own minion wave, but a Jayce!
???

Huh? It's him again!? Your jungler didn't even come, why are you, the mid laner, constantly ganking yourself?
TheShy couldn't help but recall the scenes from the Spring Split playoffs.
That ice maiden who's been relentlessly attacking me... why is it him again?

He couldn't walk towards his own turret; he came out in hammer form to block his own escape route, intending to hammer himself right in front of the crocodile.

Once Quinn loses her footing, she becomes nothing more than a toy in front of the two warriors.

TheShy immediately headed towards the river, but Flandre, facing him, used her E to pass through minions and then used her next E to stick to Quinn's face.

Quinn used her E skill to quickly kick the crocodile away, avoiding being pinned down by his W and even creating some distance between them.

However, it was already too late to leave at this point. The crocodile flashed forward and used his red-rage W to bite Quinn.

TheShy's Cleanse was removed very quickly, but Jayce next to him had already switched to his cannon form, accelerated, and unleashed an Electric Surge that hit him.

Once W is activated, Jayce lands one or two auto-attacks, triggering Phase Rush on him and starts chasing Quinn.

TheShy immediately used Flash to retreat, and then used Q towards Jayce. He had a good chance to retreat and create space from that position.

Facing Quinn's Q, Di Wu showed no intention of retreating and flashed straight through Quinn's Q skill.

"Shuttle Flash!?"

"Gnik, that was a decisive Flash! Quinn looks like he's going to die!"

Quinn's E has a full twelve-second cooldown, which is a hopeless situation for TheShy.

Jayce raised his hand and tapped A twice, then switched to hammer form.

A Sky Leap hammer strikes down for acceleration, followed by WA to reinforce the hammer, and finally an E to finish it off.

"First Blood!"

"Aigoo!!!"

TheShy, seeing that his E skill had only one second left on cooldown, slammed his fist on the table.

This time, the top lane is really having a real 1v1 battle, what are you doing here?

If I keep fighting like this 1v1, I should be able to tower dive and get a solo kill after two waves of minions! Now Jayce has taken the first blood, and I've even lost my Flash.

How to play this?

"Nice!"

Compared to TheShy, Flandre breathed a sigh of relief. This lane matchup was too difficult; she had been stuck in a rut for almost five minutes in the early game, finally managing to hold out until Diwu came to help her.

"Will the pressure be too high? Should we switch lines?"

Replace... replace the cable?

After hearing Diwu's words, Flandre thought for a moment and realized that going to the mid lane would be a good idea, at least she wouldn't be constantly suppressed by Quinn.

Quinn's E skill is practically a bane to Renekton, especially if the first part of her E skill is interrupted by a kick, then she'll be chased and poked all over the lane.

"I think it's a good idea! I'm going home to make the mercury slippers!"

"Okay! I'll put on my armor then!"

Di Wu went home, took out a Watcher's Armor and a short sword, and headed to the top lane.

Ok?
"Ah? Ah!"

The two commentators in the commentary booth couldn't help but open their mouths when they saw this scene.
Gnik and Flandre have opted to switch lanes!?

And Jayce's equipment is so strange! Watcher's Armor!?

Wow!? Gnik's armor penetration Jayce is seriously armor penetration!

The chat in the official live stream room has completely exploded.

"No, the Watcher's Armor?"

"Putting on armor, so that's what it means?"

"This is the real armor penetration Jayce!"

"Abandoning the spirit of Jayce is wrong! Viewers, please don't follow this example!"

"I'll go try it right away, brothers, wait for my good news."

"Just wait until you get to Irelia, then you can keep thinking about your damn Jayce spirit!"

When TheShy came back online and saw Jayce coming up, he couldn't help but frown. Did he feel that Renekton was not good against Quinn, so he sent Jayce up?
Gnick
Do you really think that top lane and mid lane are the same thing?

The route is long, so it's all about pulling and grappling!
you.
"bump!"

Before TheShy could finish thinking, Jayce fired a shot.

???

Wait, something's not right with this damage. It feels a bit low. Then TheShy went up and traded a couple of auto-attacks with Jayce.

Even with his passive ability active, the attacks on Jayce felt barely noticeable. On the contrary, Jayce used his ultimate ability's passive to unleash a burst of damage, causing Jayce to lose a significant amount of health.

When TheShy saw Jayce's equipment, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Huh? Why? It's the Watcher's Armor?"

No wonder I felt like I wasn't doing any damage to Jayce, was it some kind of Warden's Armor?
He went out to collect resources, and on his first trip home, he only bought a longsword and a shortsword.

Against Jayce's terrifying Watcher armor, Quinn's basic attacks were like tickling him.

The next second, Jayce switched to hammer form, but Quinn's E interrupted him as he took off with the hammer.

But Jayce, who had already triggered Phase Boots, still managed to get to Quinn's side, activated W, and kept hammering Quinn.

At this moment, the warrior's numerical power is fully demonstrated!

Quinn is a very fragile champion who needs to kite and use skillful maneuvers, but Diwu immediately put on a Warden's Armor set and Phase Rush.

Quinn's health was reduced to below half, making it impossible for Quinn to lane!
The moment the hammer cleaved Quinn, switch to cannon mode and unleash a powerful shot.

Even if Jayce's build is Warden's Armor, the stats of a warrior are still a cut above those of a marksman.

"what?"

"Is this god?! What the hell is he doing with Jayce?! Why is he building items like that?!"

TheShy is considered a Jayce master, and DiWu's Jayce build made him very uncomfortable. He could never play Jayce with such an "armor penetration" build.

"He has absolutely no Jayce spirit!"

At least in this match, Di Wu did not gain TheShy's approval.

What exactly is this build without the Soul of Jayce?
Di Wu pushed his lane to the turret, and his health was in danger.

Ning took the dragon in the bottom lane.
TheShy had an uneasy feeling that Jayce was almost fully healed thanks to the Corruption Potion.

In front of the stone statue, Little Peanut had already taken his place and come out.

Diwu, in his cannon form, unleashed an AEQ combo, firing a shot. At the same time, Peanut fired a spear. Although Quinn dodged Nidalee's spear, she had almost no room to maneuver and was hit by Jayce's shot. Jayce also managed to withstand the turret's attack first.

"Just transform into a leopard and bite him! I can take it!"

Diwu turned around and switched to hammer form, then Q'd up, while Peanut switched to leopard form.

Faced with LGD's double push from the mid and jungle, Quinn could only interrupt Jayce in an attempt to trade a kill.

But Jayce's health and tankiness made him somewhat desperate. The turret's physical damage seemed to have little effect on Jayce's Warden Armor.

Nidalee killed Quinn with a single QE combo!

TheShy smiled with relief as he looked at the black and white screen before him once again.

"Aigoo~~~"

What am I doing?

"How could Jess play like this?"

Although I don't agree with it, I feel that Warden's Armor is actually quite powerful against long-range top laners? Could it be...?
Is armor penetration Jayce the right build?

Armored! Wearing Watcher armor?
