You actually want me to...

[Kasa: To be honest, I'm a newcomer to TES, so I'm practically a rookie.]

[Holy Gun Guy: Me too.]

The chat room was already used to this guy's rambling nonsense. The reason they gathered here was mainly because the schedule for the early stages of the summer season was very relaxed, with only one match a day, and it just so happened to be June, so they had nowhere else to go.

What time period is June? It's the time when students across the country are suddenly promoted to first-class national protected animals. During this period, parents of students, not to mention adults, even elderly people who dance in the square dare to stand up to them. They're all like hedgehogs. How could they dare to play games? They're afraid of making too much noise and being confronted.

Although these nationally protected animals will become "four pests" after the exam, they haven't finished the exam yet, have they?

Another reason why many netizens truly stop playing games is that they have all clearly recognized the fact that they are already noobs.

Why, you ask?

Normally, when they lose a game, they blame it on the "elementary school students," but that won't work now, because the "elementary school students" are all preparing for exams.

The problem is that, although everyone complains about it, the current "elementary school students" are actually not that bad. You have to understand that children are still developing in many ways, and one or two of them are more flexible and quicker in their reaction speed and operation.

If you say they're bad, at most they're bad at the level of awareness; but if you're talking about skill, then it's really hard to say.

So these days, experienced players either mute everyone and play the game silently, or they simply don't play the game at all during this period, waiting for the students to finish their exams before returning to the battlefield, and then directly shifting blame onto the students.

Look, this world is full of malice.

"Hmph, you guys, I don't usually see you when I stream. Now that it's not even late at night, you only remember my stream because you have no matches to watch and nowhere else to go. Ugh! Disgusting, really disgusting. I'm almost embarrassed to wake you up." After glancing at the terrifying number of viewers in his stream, Roland simply opened the Korean server and started duo-queuing with Ah Shui.

As the saying goes, do something while it's hot.

Now that his popularity has reached its peak thanks to perfect timing and location, shouldn't he immediately drag JKL over to ride the wave of popularity? Otherwise, he would be letting down the tens of thousands of viewers in the live stream.

Sure enough, when everyone saw JKL's account ID enter the room, they immediately went wild.

Holy crap, if these two are duo queuing, won't the bot lane go straight from level 1 to level 18?

[Oh no, tonight's ranked matches are going to be brutal. Seriously, I'm under 18, can I even handle this kind of thing?]

[If you can't watch it, I suggest watching LCK next door; that's more suitable for minors (lol)]

I wouldn't agree to this if it weren't for the KPL (doge).

What is meant by "live streaming effect"?

This is what's called live stream effect. Unlike the occasional deliberate mistakes that ordinary streamers create, these two have had a very clear label since their debut: taking Q and sudden death.

With these two streaming together, tonight might be a rare day of truce, and their ancestral crafts can finally take a break for one night.

"Hello? Hello? Can you hear me?"

"Screw you, your seat is right next to mine, what the hell are you doing with your mic on?" As soon as Roland opened his mouth, JKL from next to him slammed a dunk over his head.

The exhilarating feeling of a double echo is something I've probably experienced when playing games with friends at an internet cafe. But now, with the game microphone, the livestream microphone, and the two of us right next to each other, this is a triple echo! Its power is almost comparable to Xin Zhao's Q.

"Ahem, that's how it is when you don't have much experience, please understand."

"Hmm? No experience? Don't you usually have anyone to duo queue with?"

"No...this..."

"Don't you know anyone else besides your teammates?"

"I...this."

"No way? No way? There really isn't anyone who doesn't have friends and can still play games with others, right?"

"..."

The Roland has successfully crashed!

To be fair, Ah Shui really did guess right.

It's not that Roland was particularly withdrawn before, but as a transmigrator, even though he didn't manage to build a financial empire or anything, he at least decided to enter the e-sports circle. So, he had to know at least LPL-level players, otherwise, where would he put his dignity and face as a transmigrator?

The results of it.

I won't go into detail about the LDL period; it was a very complicated situation, as those who know, know. Roland had no intention of getting involved at all.

As for the LPL forum, although he has been here for more than half a year, those easy-going professional players in my memory have already had their schedules fully booked.

Take Doinb, for example. This guy changes his duo partners like a jerk changes girlfriends; he never stops.

He can't get dates with the strong ones, and it's pointless to date the weak ones; he's not familiar with the average ones.

What can I do? I'll just have to play by myself.

He's even hesitant to meet up with many livestreamers. The male "masters" mostly stream on their own, like pagers or double-recorded tape recorders, barely managing to utter a word – one or two are extreme examples of social anxiety. As for the women... these days, women really don't do livestreams together. Who knows what kind of relationships those women have behind the scenes? Some streamers clearly have boyfriends, some are even married, but they keep quiet while engaging in ambiguous relationships, and whoever gets caught up in it is doomed.

For example, how many people only now know that Zhou Jie's two female co-stars on Channel 2 have boyfriends who are either Umbrella Master or Hallucinogen? If you don't search for them, very few people would know that. That's roughly the situation.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. What are we playing today?"

"Let's play bot lane. Swain is getting buffed, so I'll practice with you."

Yes, by duo-queuing at this point, Roland's other subtext is to tell all the other LPL clubs, "You better be smart with your bans; I deserve a ban too." As the competition progresses, the current version is 10.14. Although 10.15 hasn't arrived yet, the general outline has been released in advance.

Among these changes, the most noteworthy is the adjustment to the hero Raven.

The passive mana regeneration from Q skill has been removed, and the angle has been narrowed. In return, the skill can now pass through heroes and has gained a slight cooldown reduction.

The passive ability has been changed from 12s-6s to 10s at all levels, which in a sense weakens his mid-to-late game capabilities.

The attributes have been weakened, with the most important attribute of the Raven, movement speed, being reduced by 10 points.

Logically, without passive sustain and movement speed, Swain should have been completely finished. However, because his W skill was adjusted, he has a chance to return to the battlefield.

W's casting range has been changed from 3500 to 5500-7500, and the mana cost of all skills has been reduced.

Many people may not understand what 7500 means. It's roughly equivalent to Swain standing in the mid lane, able to throw his W directly into the enemy fountain. If he's in the bottom lane, the blue team can throw fire at the red team's F6 camp by the time they reach the tri-bush.

This is basically a full-map Skyfire build, and the cooldown is even shorter in the early game, only 10 seconds per hit.

The moment they saw these changes, every team in the LPL knew they were in trouble.

Ashe can use her E skill to scout vision every minute or so, and two E skills are enough to see the enemy jungler's jungle route. Now Swain can use his W skill every 10 seconds. If they don't know how the enemy can figure out their weaknesses, they won't believe it.

Roland is putting pressure on other clubs.

See? Swain's W skill got buffed. I've started practicing Swain in ranked games now, even dragging the AD carry along. If you get matched with Swain in a tournament next time, we hope you think carefully about whether you want to ban my Swain.

You can't grasp this global trend perspective!

JKL casually agreed and had no objection. Since they were duo queuing and had taken two positions that were generally disliked by random players, they were quickly matched into a game.

However... in this match, it seems that Roland was recognized by the opposing team.

Aside from the basic bans, the opposing team immediately locked in Swain on the first pick, stealing the hero Roland wanted.

【23333】

Wow, even high-elo Korean server games have viewers streaming from their channels? That's impressive!

The funniest thing is that they banned a bunch of strong engage supports and champions like Varus and Ezreal this game; they're out of options.

[It's too small-scale, the scope is too narrow. If Aban and Ashui simply switch positions slightly, the opposing team's lineup will be completely crushed.]

Indeed, who can damage a defensive tower?

Seeing that the opponent had stolen his Raven, Roland hesitated for a moment, thinking about what he could use to create a tutorial game and, incidentally, improve the show's entertainment value. Just as he was browsing the hero interface, a captivating and slender figure suddenly caught his eye.

Then... he remembered an entertainment group he had once seen, and his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

"Brothers, I'm going to show you some fun tricks this game. But let me tell you, these tricks require a very high level of proficiency. You can learn them, but if you don't master them and go out and mess with other people, don't blame me for teaching you." With that, he clicked the mouse, and a sleek black figure suddenly appeared on the screen in everyone's sight.

"My energy is inexhaustible!"

Syndra, the Dark Sovereign, has been successfully locked!

Fusion: Chapter Fifteen: Let the Bullets Fly

"Kid, are you sure you're not throwing the game?" The moment he saw Syndra lock onto him, Ah Shui instinctively wanted to press ALT+F4 to end this torturous game.

Syndra?

Are you playing in a Bronze-level game and you're using this thing as a support?

"Don't worry, when have I ever lied to you? This combination is invincible against the enemy team, okay?" He quickly reassured his AD carry. They had finally managed to pick this combination with perfect timing, location, and teamwork; if they missed this opportunity, there wouldn't be another chance.

"Fine, it's not like I'm the one who loses anyway."

"Don't worry, I've been planning this for a long time, and today I will surely gain fame and fortune." Seeing the game successfully start, Roland's smile was also openly displayed.

Syndra support has several strategies. One is the top laner strategy, which involves starting with W and forcibly dragging the enemy jungler to their doom. However, this strategy has a very low margin for error, and it's easy for the enemy jungler to collapse before the support does.

Another type is the Soul Fusion Skill formed with the female gunner – Let the Bullets Fly.

Of course, the start is still the same as usual, with the talent point Phase Rush.

Why don't support players allocate damage points?

The reason is simple: Syndra's EQ combo followed by an auto-attack immediately triggers her Phase Rush effect, granting her massive movement speed that grants her incredible mobility. She can either chase down low-health enemies or escape and sacrifice her AD carry.

For magic-based support characters, it's crucial to remember that movement speed is a very important factor.

You can run slower than the enemy's skills, but you absolutely cannot run slower than your own AD. As long as your movement speed is faster than the AD, even if the bottom lane loses the fight, the one who dies first will definitely be the AD, and you can survive well by sacrificing the AD.

Secondary runes can include Hextech Flash and Biscuits; supports with Hextech Flash usually have a very high potential.

"So, what's your strategy? Just normal laning?"

"Don't rush, level up to level three first. You're not dealing much damage right now."

"I always feel like you're trying to fool me."

"How could that be? We're like family, why would I lie to you?" Roland replied with a grin, and taking advantage of the moment when the enemy Crow ran to use W, he directly used EQ to stun the enemy AD, lowering their health.

In this ranked game, the bot lane matchup was Syndra and Miss Fortune against Ashe and Swain.

Furthermore, the bot lane jungler probably won't be able to provide any support either. With Ashe and Swain's global vision, they can predict their jungler's route perfectly. It would be good enough if they could just protect their own jungle; ganking is pure wishful thinking.

But it doesn't matter, professional players naturally have their own ways of winning.

Roland's Swain support has indeed given many LPL teams a headache, and the drawbacks of Swain support are also very obvious. If you use W to scout vision in the early game, you will naturally be one skill short once a fight breaks out in the bot lane.

Even if a fight doesn't break out, if the Raven throws his W and moves slightly away from the AD carry to the river in the early game, they can take the opportunity to force a fight against the enemy AD carry, suppress their health, and thus gain the initiative in the lane.

When it comes to seizing opportunities, their bot lane duo are professionals.

"Hmm, it seems like the damage is only slightly higher, that's all?"
