You actually want me to...

[It's really a bit outrageous; you just can't get a chance to play if your hand speed is too slow.]

I managed to pick this hero and play it in the top lane.

And then what?

The enemy Irelia is incredibly ruthless; I'm already laning against my teammates.

Although this champion's Q skill is similar to Darius's, the speed is different. Normal Darius players who suddenly start playing this champion are prone to missing their Q or using the inner circle Q due to muscle memory. In addition, this champion requires high positioning skills. In short, playing this champion well requires a lot of basic skills.

Even the world's number one top laner in his previous life often failed to deal damage when he first touched this hero, although he eventually evolved into "Jiang Chenglu" thanks to his talent.

While suppressing the enemy top laner, Roland Lillia also controlled both jungle camps, and her development began to improve significantly.

That's right, although it's a bit unfair to our own jungler to steal jungle monsters from our own jungle.

But there's a saying that goes: You can never please everyone, but at least you can make everyone angry.

If you can't keep the bowl of water level, you might as well spill it all; that's exactly what Roland did.

In just sixteen minutes, Roland, with a huge economic advantage, already had two items in hand. The damage from Luden's Echo and Liandry's Torment at this point in time was unbearable for anyone.

Just a few minutes later, Roland's blue team chose to force the opposing team to engage in a team fight.

LPL matchmaking has always been like this: no matter the situation, you can completely solve it by simply changing the word "team fight" to something else. What's most ridiculous is that it's one thing for the winning side to think this way, but the losing side thinks the same way too.

The opposing team's strategy is extremely clear: either they can win in one team fight and wipe out the rest, or they can lose everything in one team fight and everyone should quickly surrender with four votes within 20 minutes, so no one can torture the other.

Seeing this, Roland knew his teaching moment had arrived. While he had participated in small-scale team fights before, the teaching effect wasn't particularly noticeable, but large-scale team fights were a different story.

Although Silly Deer's playstyle is similar to Darius', the differences are actually quite obvious.

Others' Hand of Noxus: A feast for all, a savvy attacker, a ruthless chef, the Noxian hearth—everyone wants to kill him, but because of his short legs, no one can touch him.

Roland's Noxus deer: Q for damage, W is already depleted, E for poke, and the ultimate is for escaping and counter-killing at crucial moments. Despite its seemingly harmless appearance, it actually suffers the deepest resentment in the entire game.

The reason they can still jump like that is simply because the opposing team's random players can't catch up.

Looking at the positions of both sides in the mid lane, all Roland could do was throw his E skill from afar, chasing after a destined opponent.

However, Roland's teammates quickly rushed up.

This is another problem with matchmaking. Normally, aside from Roland's own advantage, the damage and economy of your own mid, bottom and jungle are about the same as the enemy's mid, bottom and jungle. If you initiate a team fight randomly, you are likely to suffer a loss.

However, sometimes, strangers don't like to use their brains when playing games.

Some players, in particular, see that their team has a higher kill count and more towers than the opponent, and think that they are also better than the opponent. As a result, they rush in and get brutally slapped in the face without doing anything. Even worse, they might send back the things that their team's leader worked so hard to win.

Roland clearly encountered this type of teammate in this match, but he wasn't flustered at all.

"See? Don't panic, guys. When our teammates force a team fight, the first thing we need to do is not to rush in and deal damage, but to let them take enough damage first. Because we are very squishy. If we go in and get caught out by one or two skills and killed, that wouldn't be fun, would it?"

So, even though the team fight in front of him was raging, Roland's only action was to control the roe deer to throw E from a distance, and if the situation was relatively safe, he would use Q to move forward slightly; if it wasn't safe, he would just run away. What was he standing there for? Was he waiting for someone to help him?

[Classic Edge OB.]

[Teacher Ma, is that you, Teacher Ma?]

[You know what, if this skill hits someone, it actually burns quite a bit.]

[How could this build not be ruthless? If I had a second item, I'd have a 100% chance of getting Zhonya's Hourglass. In team fights, I'd just flash in, use my ultimate, and then use Zhonya's Hourglass. Nobody's initiating team fights as effectively as me.]

Support jungler – that's the common perception of Lillia. Even though Roland went all out with his antics this game, it didn't really affect her.

His move was aimed at changing everyone's perception of Lilia.

Roland's goal has always been simple: he wants to create a ranked environment where everyone plays top lane Lillia, and then use champions like Irelia, Lucian, and Gangplank to hog the points from Lillia players.

Everything is for the TES rank subsidy reward in July.

Integration: Chapter Sixty: They tricked me like this last time too.

As mentioned earlier, Lilia's damage is delayed, so even if Roland has the best equipment, his initial damage output is not particularly outstanding.

However, she has a strong ability to sustain combat.

Looking at the team that was about to decide the outcome, the Demacian deer, who had been throwing skills and stacking her passive for half a day on the edge, finally showed her true colors.

Forward! Forward! And forward still!

The Demacian Deer has gone mad! Giving the opposing team no chance to react, the magnificent Deer! She has inherited the racing spirit of Mount Akina, with the spirits of Rammus, Hecarim, and Quinn possessing her at this moment! The Demacian Deer alone represents the long history and tradition of the Rift's racing kings. At this moment, she is not just a deer fighting, she is not just a deer!

With a movement speed of nearly 600, Lillia appeared not far from the enemy team in the blink of an eye, using Flash, Q, ultimate, and Zhonya's Hourglass.

The entire sequence of movements was executed seamlessly without any pauses.

But this seemingly simple task produced incredibly high damage and control effects. As the skill effects slowly wrapped around the enemy, the blue team members tacitly stopped firing.

Then, I chose a better position to unleash my full damage output.

"Sigh, although I really wanted to show you how terrifying Lillia's damage is, unfortunately, the game was already over the moment I used my ultimate and Zhonya's Hourglass." Roland sighed with feigned melancholy, knowing that he had already achieved his teaching objective.

The best strategies to spread are those that are universally applicable and extremely simple, like this one: long-range attacks against short-range attacks are not difficult, right? Throwing your E skill from a distance before a team fight is not difficult, right? Flashing in during a team fight and using QR to activate Zhonya's Hourglass is not difficult, right?

The simpler and more mindless something is, the wider it will spread.

Xiao Lu's damage was already quite high; a single skill followed by her passive could take away about half of an enemy's health. Now, with her successfully controlling the enemy team, there was really no point in continuing the fight. It was a 1-for-4 exchange, and after this team fight, the enemy team immediately chose to surrender.

This is too torturous.

Even though it hasn't reached the mid-to-late game yet, Lillia's presence in the early to mid-game is enough to instill fear. In order to avoid being mentally tormented, higher-level players will decisively choose to surrender and move on to the next game as soon as possible.

【game over!】

[The pinker the color, the harder the beating; I've certainly learned something new today.]

I feel like this thing can counter most short-range top laners without hard crowd control, but the question is, how do I deal with the enemy's top and jungle duo?

[Simple, have you ever heard of "top laner" (called "father")?]

【? ? ? 】

After winning the first game, Roland played three or four more games in a row without stopping. Perhaps because the strength of the top lane warriors in S10 was too overwhelming, he encountered short-range top laners all night.

Now everything is perfect – the timing is right, the location is right, and the people are right.

Roland set the pace, Xuanjun gained joy, the official sold skins, and the viewers in the live stream gained a winning strategy, while only the bewildered passersby were mentally tormented.

Here's how the strategy works.

One person is happy, nine are tormented. Roland was already a well-known support player, and with the added bonus of being the "E-sports Edison," the Lillia top lane playstyle was already being reported by major media outlets and successfully became a hot topic after just a few games in one night.

[Good grief, I was wondering why there were so many Lillia top laners lately, turns out it was you stirring things up.]

[I'm speechless. Can't these idiots at least check the team composition before trying out different champions in ranked games? The whole team lacks a frontline tank and initiator, relying entirely on the top lane. And then this bastard picks Lillia for top, and we get completely wiped out in team fights.]

[Wait, guys, look what I just found! This guy only played three or four games with Lillia during his stream that night; he hasn't played a single game since.]

【Huh? Is that so strange?】

The problem is, several pages of his match history show him playing top laners like Irelia, Gangplank, and Lucian, and he's been racking up points entirely from Lillia.

By this time, everyone understood.

Good heavens, he sets the pace himself and then quietly pockets the points he's gained. What a beast!

Seeing the massive online outcry, Roland simply chose to play dead. Things weren't like before when he was working for someone else; now he was practically a free agent. Let them say what they want; the ranking points were his own anyway.

The current Roland gives people this impression:

When the leader serves food, I turn the table around; when the leader offers me a toast, I refuse to drink.

When the leader is playing cards, I play them myself; when the leader walks, I ride in a car.

When the leader is giving a speech, I chat; when the leader is singing karaoke, I switch songs.

The boss calls me "Dad," I call him "Brother." When the boss drinks water, I stop the car.

Yes, that's how awesome it is.

Moreover, Roland has always prided himself on being polite and refined online, never swearing, and having no idea what Zaun is (available information: 5/5).

Indeed, this is true. A closer look reveals that those who are unreasonable and prone to complaining online are often people who are afraid to speak loudly in real life. Conversely, those who are amiable and agreeable online are often social butterflies in real life.

"You're really pushing this pace. I heard Riot Games is even considering making you the spokesperson for the best top laner Lillia in the Chinese server." JKL couldn't help but sigh after glancing at the news on his phone.

"Come on, that's what they told me when I used Jinfu in the competition."

"And then what? I remember you went there back then, didn't you?"

"Then my profile picture was photoshopped onto Jinfu's picture and started being used to launch a massive attack on various mysterious organizations online. Now, if I want to go to Weibo to see the female bodhisattvas, I only dare to log in to my alternate account. The problem is that every time I want to see them, I forget the names of the female bodhisattvas I follow on my main account."

“Ah Zhe, that is indeed a bit painful.”

So-called public opinion will be effectively alleviated after a few days of cooling off. After all, the internet is a carrier without memory. For example, some commentators were once the subject of intense public opinion, but in the end, they simply apologized and that was the end of it, and they are still active on the front stage.

Putting all that messy stuff aside, Roland looked back at the team's match schedule and quickly saw the next LPL team they would be competing against: the legendary LPL team – V5.

Upon seeing this, Roland frowned.

"Are we playing V5 next?"

"Yes, is there a problem?"

"This is a huge problem. Quick, get me a ladder, I need to go out and learn from someone."

"???"

Integration: Chapter Sixty-One: The Will of God Will Ultimately Be Divided

V5, a truly magical team.

During the Spring Split, this team had a record of 0-16, with Xiao Dongbei playing multiple roles, but ultimately they were powerless to turn the tide.

But it changed in the summer season.

The team jumped from the bottom of the league standings to the top, and their lineup and tactics began to stabilize. Individually, each player seemed out of place, but together they became incredibly strong.

This may also be related to metaphysics.

During the Spring Split, the performance of teams with numbers in their names varied somewhat, leading to a joke: "Teams with numbers in their names are all very strong, like T1, G2, and V5."

In the summer season, they really became very strong. Of course, the biggest reason was that almost all of their members were replaced, and they benefited from the new team, which had not yet been fully figured out.

BiuBiu, codenamed Phoenix Chick, is a top laner who also plays as a tiger-slaying hero. He is one of the four dark kings of the LPL. When he gets Jayce or plays against RNG, he can transform into a top laner. Otherwise, he has a strange vibe when playing top lane.
