You actually want me to...

Very meow.

He should have been the one walking the cat on the other side of the street!

It's him!

But why is it that now he can only watch others be happy, while he can only farm the lonely "square root of three" in the jungle?

Hey~

The sky is vast and the fields are boundless; the wind blows the grass low, and wolves are everywhere.

It wasn't until Alchemist finally finished his adventures and went home that Big Smart was finally able to barely return online and start eating the "leftovers" left by Alchemist. The experience was hard to describe.

But the next second.

Just as he was clearing the lane, three or four heroes from the red team quietly circled around him from both sides, creating a pincer movement around him.

Seeing this driving scene, Da Congming sighed deeply and ultimately chose to give up thinking about it.

He has figured it out.

He'll definitely ban Alchemist next round!

Metamorphosis: Chapter 55: Don't be afraid when I tell you~

"So exciting~"

"I feel like I've reached the pinnacle of my life, I feel like I've reached the highest point!"

"Brothers, I'm so happy~!"

Wherein lies the joy in alchemy?

It's not about winning the game, but about being able to relentlessly harass and annoy the opponent while they can't kill you. This feeling of constantly jumping on the opponent and leaving them helpless is the true gaming experience for alchemists.

It has to be said, Roland was absolutely thrilled with this win.

As long as he has his ultimate ability, he and his cat will charge towards the enemy's high ground. Because he is holding off several enemies by himself while frantically AOEing the minion wave on the enemy's high ground, his level is the highest in the game, which indirectly increases his tankiness.

The damage is getting higher and higher, the healing is becoming more and more overpowered, and the ability to withstand damage is also getting stronger and stronger.

Even without teammates, Roland's alchemy is already capable of recklessly courting death in front of the opposing players. Don't forget, he is an active professional player, and he has the positioning and reaction skills to dodge skills.

Watching this alchemist, who was extremely sneaky in the early stages, go on a wild rampage in the mid-to-late game, countless viewers were itching to try it themselves.

It seems... he really had a lot of fun!

I've learned that as long as I play it safe in the early game, I can be reckless in the mid-game, right?

It means playing support in the early game and then transitioning to the main carry in the late game.

[A support character carrying a gas canister? Seriously, anything can be created by a superhero.]

[What's wrong with being a support for the main DPS? What's wrong with carrying an alchemy pot? As long as you deal enough damage to get MVP at the end of the game, that's all that matters. Look at that loser next door with five swords floating behind him, he's a terrible support too, but that doesn't stop him from going into the dungeon and using his ultimate to steal DPS. His damage output is so high that even the main DPS's usual tricks can't catch up to him.]

Damn, you're absolutely right.

Once the Alchemist hero became viable, the entire nature of the game changed.

This is fine.

You know perfectly well you shouldn't bother with him, that you should focus on farming and building vision, but when you see him running wildly towards the poison gas on your high ground, you get really frustrated. Especially without minions, they have no way to push out vision, which creates a vicious cycle.

Roland is also cunning. The first time, he took advantage of the opponent's lack of understanding of his own tankiness and healing ability to choose a 2v5 situation. This second time, he has learned to call for teammates.

Three people on one side were pushing the lane into the tower like crazy, while two people on the other side were running from the poison gas on the high ground. Especially when they saw that you wanted to defend the tower, they would deliberately come over and give you a gutter oil and an over-the-shoulder throw to disgust you. The whole game was incredibly annoying.

When have LCK players ever suffered such humiliation or seen such a world?

This strategy, which has been almost overused in the Chinese server, is surprisingly effective in the Korean server. Irelia, who originally wanted to compete with Alchemist, decided to give up after realizing that she didn't have many minions to farm.

Forget about carrying, isn't it better to wait for your teammates to carry?

With the alchemy school taking shape, the rest of the game became almost Roland's personal show. The red team members were impossible to kill or hold back, and they would be counter-killed if they were not careful. As the cycle repeated itself, they gradually gave up the struggle.

There's really no way around it.

It's not that our side wasn't strong enough, it's just that the enemy was piloting a Gundam!

At 29 minutes, when Alchemist charged in from his base again, the red team tentatively threw a bunch of skills at him to test the damage, and then decisively surrendered.

What a load of rubbish.

Now he even dares to bring a cat up to their high ground and poop on their heads.

If we wait a few more minutes, won't the other team's five people just start guarding the fountain?

In the end, with the explosion of the red team's base, Roland finally won the RANK game with his newly understood Seven Injury Fist playstyle.

【666666】

Although the early stages were frustrating, the mid-to-late game was truly enjoyable!

How could I not be happy? Alchemy, from the moment it was invented, has been designed to disgust people.

It's a pity there's a Smite mechanic; otherwise, if I could take Smite and buy a jungle item, I might have farmed much faster this game.

Everyone has a love-hate relationship with the last-hit penalty mechanism.

What's great is that junglers will finally stop coveting the minion waves on their lanes, and solo lane heroes will suddenly have a huge amount more resources to farm.

after all...

You get punished for stealing lane minions while jungling, but I don't get punished for stealing jungle monsters from your lane!

Aside from players like Zhang Xiwen who exploit the "extract" ability to turn one dollar into two, most other junglers will no longer waste time on their minion waves.

The sad thing is that this change will reduce a lot of fun routines on a daily basis.

It's important to know that most completed jungle items are cheap and have good stats, offering excellent value for money. Compared to the 3000+ gold cost of the first item in both physical and magical damage systems, the average price of a completed jungle item of 2000+ gold undoubtedly allows many heroes to develop their strategies and damage output much earlier.

On the other hand, the rhythm of junglers has also been greatly weakened.

Without online resources, junglers are left with only two playstyles: one is the pure tempo jungler, who relies entirely on ganking and controlling map resources in the early game to create an early advantage for teammates, and then acts as a utility player in the mid to late game.

Another strategy is to do nothing in the early game and just keep farming. I'll be wherever the jungle monsters are, and I won't see my teammates' signals. I'll try to get to level six quickly by farming jungle experience and gold, and then force an extra core damage dealer in the mid-to-late game. The downside is that my teammates will be fighting four against five in the early game.

"See that, guys? My Alchemist, he gets C every game!" He shouted with a grin, and during the break between games, he added LWX's account as a game friend.

This is Brother Xiang.

Although he seems very unstable now, give him a few more hours, and when it gets to midnight, you'll find out just how amazing this seemingly intelligent man really is.

It's a powerful tool for ranking up (limited edition at midnight), so I'll add it first and see what happens.

After winning the game, Roland played several more ranked games until he was exhausted and finally stopped to turn off the stream and rest.

It was at this moment that he finally discovered a bunch of missed calls on his phone.

"What's up, Lao Guo? Why are you calling me so late at night?"

"Let me tell you something first, and please don't be scared. You weren't live-streaming, were you?"

"It's not open yet, don't worry, I'm a professional, I'm not afraid at all."

"Alright, listen up."

"Ah."

"Because your Spring Finals championship win has spurred the management, we may make some big moves during this transfer period. Since the key person is quite sensitive, and the others either lack eloquence or live too far away, you should prepare yourself. I will come back to pick you up tomorrow."

???

"Explain yourself clearly? What do you mean?"

"It means we might need to strengthen our squad again."

Metamorphosis: Chapter Fifty-Six: He

The next day.

When Roland sat on the plane, looking bewildered at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, he was deeply moved.

What is that?

I only had ten days off, and then you gave me work to do in the middle of it, and even made me do extra work?

In Roland's memory, almost all the players who could strengthen TES were not for sale by their respective teams. To buy them, not to mention how much money it would cost, he thought it would be difficult just to find out if those teams were willing to let them go.

"Hey Lao Guo, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

"Of course not. Actually, there have been talks since the beginning of the season, but they were very tight-lipped at the time. However, things seem to have taken a turn for the better because of the natural disaster."

"But aren't we also behind each other..."

"You underestimate our backing. The financial backer behind us isn't just a shoe brand. As long as we can achieve results, anything that money can solve is no problem." Old Guo said this with a sense of pride. Although the money wasn't his, and he wasn't the one actually handling the transaction, that didn't stop him from bragging and showing off his financial backer.

Have you ever heard of the proverb "the fox borrows the tiger's power"?

"So, where are we going this time?"

"Actually, you've probably already guessed it. This journey is pretty clear. The place we're going to is Snake Team's home stadium, which is now... LNG."

......

A few hours later.

When Roland finally arrived at his destination, he finally met his main target: the domestic top laner known for his slick skills, the former core player of Snake Esports, and a player from the LNG team – Flandre.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Flandre calmly sat back down in his chair, looking at the player and team leader with interest, and said:

"You are the first team to find me here. I am happy that you came, but I am also very surprised by how fast you were."

"Actually, there's no need to be surprised. In fact, many veteran players like you were already listed before the Spring Split. The only difference is that others might just think it's a showcase, but we are different. We really need you." Faced with such an important matter, Lao Guo rarely became serious.

In fact, before S10, before Snake Esports changed its name to LNG, there were already rumors that Flandre might not renew his contract with Snake Esports. However, after it was discovered that they had renewed their contract, many people gradually forgot about it.

But TES is different.

When they decided to revamp the team, they had been trying to learn about this veteran domestic player, but the chances were slim and they didn't make much effort.

But this doesn't mean TES has given up.

Especially given their current poor performance, the club urgently needs a stronger top laner to compensate for the shortcomings in the top lane.
