LOL: What does "mid-lane hybrid expert" mean?

"Viewers in the live stream, look at this! Zhao Zhiming is a typical example of someone who doesn't listen. Didn't I just say that in this version, Malzahar can't be played first?"

"In this version, Nautilus can be flexed between mid and top lane. What if the enemy picks Nautilus to top lane and their mid laner picks Sion to annoy us? Who on our team will deal with this massive tank with 10,000 health?"

"Can you handle this?"

"Why don't you try picking Lucian as a jungler?"

"No, no, no, it's mine." Ai Luoli didn't dare to reply and quickly waved her hand to indicate that she was sorry.

[The last time this champion appeared in the mid lane was probably back in Season 3, right?]

It seems the designers have been constantly nerfing Zyra's basic skill damage.

[Indeed, Zyra support was incredibly overpowered at last year's World Championship, but the designers nerfed the range she used, and now the target acquisition mechanism is also quite stupid. It feels like she's completely useless in the mid lane...]

"Oh? So some of the viewers in the chat have actually played the game." Li Yi nodded. "Zyra in the mid lane is indeed almost unable to deal damage in lane right now. We mainly rely on planting more plants during team fights to poke, because few people will deal with these plants in team fights."

"The most important point is the hero's utility when facing multiple hook compositions."

Enter the first-level regiment.

The opposing team chose to invade, relying on the combined strong crowd control of Titan and Thresh. Li Yi had Ai Luoli adjust her position while explaining to everyone.

"Compared to Malzahar's W [Void Swarm], Zyra's summons have a significant advantage: they can protect not only herself but also her teammates," Li Yi explained while playing. "Malzahar's little bugs can only block hooks aimed at yourself, but Zyra is different."

"If a teammate enters a dead end where they can't move, we can plant plants behind them in advance to avoid some of the enemy's chasing skills."

Red buff area.

In the narrow jungle passage, Ai Luoli's Graves was found by the invading enemy team. With no room to maneuver, he had no choice but to retreat into the bushes. The enemy Nautilus, seeing the seeds blooming into flowers in front of him, couldn't find an angle to hook and could only retreat.

"If you want to protect yourself, you can use the EW combo to plant flowers at your feet to block the hook. Note that it's best not to use Q, because Q has a slight delay, which may lead to failure."

"If we really can't react in time, we can just stand behind the seed during the laning phase, and use our E when the opponent uses their hook."

"When laning against melee champions like Nautilus, we choose to take attack speed runes. This is because Zyra's basic skill damage is very low and her mana cost is high right now, so it's better to use her 575-yard attack range to auto-attack a couple more times."

"Don't play Zyra if you're laning against ranged champions..."

In summary, this hero is useless in lane and useless in team fights; their only purpose is to block hooks for teammates.

  

This hero doesn't suit your style, Yi Shen.

[That's true. This champion's E skill has a long cast time and short duration in the early game, making it difficult to lock down enemies even with the help of the jungler.]

"Who says you have to use E to retain employees?"

Li Yi began explaining new concepts to the chat: "We know that Fizz and Kassadin's passives both ignore unit collision, but what's the actual use of this? Is it just to avoid being squeezed and repositioned when standing in a minion wave?"

The game has now reached the twelfth minute.

The enemy Kindred had just ganked and killed the top laner, and was trying to rush the Rift Herald early by taking advantage of the respawn time difference, but was caught by Ai Luoli's Graves.

Seeing that Li Yi was still chatting nonsense with the comments, Ai Luoli became a little anxious: "Come and keep him here, this Kindred has a big bounty."

"Here it comes, here it comes."

In front of more than 10,000 viewers in the live stream, Li Yi used his E skill to clear the minion wave and then started walking towards the river.

"Look closely, Nautilus and Kindred thought that after we used our E, we would have no way to keep anyone in place, so Kindred did not choose to run into the jungle, but instead went directly from the gap between the F6 camp and the river towards the mid lane."

"So, this narrow path is where we can put our skills to use."

Li Yi quickly placed two W seeds on the path, then pressed QR to knock up the Titan that was coming to support Kindred.

At this moment, the Kindred player felt a surge of joy. This Zyra used her E to clear the wave first, and then chose to use her R to control the Nautilus. So, he probably wouldn't be able to give away the bounty even if he wanted to!

however.

Although the Kindred player kept clicking the mouse pointer towards the mid-lane turret, his character model suddenly started twitching uncontrollably.

"He's gone mad!"

Ai Luoli, controlling the male gunner, arrived and took down Kindred with two shots after she gave up resisting.

"This is what I wanted to say." Li Yi began to explain Kindred's reaction to the audience.

"Besides minions, summoned creatures also have collision volume. When we activate our R skill [Strangling Vine], not only does the plant's health bar increase, but its size also increases. At this time, if we place the plant between a wall and an enemy hero, there is a chance that the opponent will be blocked."

"Finally, one more thing: when the Rift Herald or Baron Nashor spawns, we can call our jungler to come and farm the mid lane."

"When the enemy sees their jungler showing up, they'll lower their guard, and that's when we can come to the Baron pit and plant seeds in advance. Most opponents won't be able to react to our Baron-killing speed..."

"call……"

After turning off the live stream and carefully reading about the changes brought about by the improvement in his abilities, Li Yi noticed that Zhao Tianyu had sent him another message in his private messages.

Jiaotong University's most heartfelt message: Dear teacher, have you seen the video I edited? My video clips have a high completion rate, but the problem is that the click-through rate is relatively low.

Low click-through rate?

Want to attract attention?

Li Yi thought to himself, "Isn't this a perfect match for my major as a short video platform anchor?"

Let me give you an example.

"In the previous live stream where I talked about the use of height difference, you can put that clip from my match where I practiced it on the cover, and add a title like 'A hidden technique that even top pro player Uzi doesn't know.' With the competition so popular right now, as a pro player, we might as well take advantage of it."

"If you want something even more sensational, you could use a title like 'The mechanics in DOTA have become bugs in LOL,' but that might attract a lot of negative traffic..."

After confirming that Zhao Tianyu roughly understood the essence of the matter, Li Yi turned off the computer.

correct.

Is it about time for short video platforms to become popular?
