You actually want me to...

"Nice, with this wave, Kaka could have taken the dragon earlier. We're very strong in the 20-minute mark."

"But isn't our focus on getting on the road?"

"Don't worry, we can still provide support on the way. Please trust our firepower."

"Oh, this."

In a tactical standpoint, TES suffered a loss by trading one for two. Not only did they fail to limit Lucian's development, they also failed to protect Jayce.

In reality, TES actually made a small profit from this.

While the Dragon Soul isn't a high priority in the Summer Split patch, that's only in terms of relative timing. With the jungle item update, junglers generally won't attempt to take the Dragon too early. The usual time to take the Dragon is around 8-10 minutes. Based on a 6-minute Dragon Soul, plus some minor time loss, even if you take all of them, the Dragon Soul team fight will only happen around 28-30 minutes.

In most games, the outcome is already quite clear by this point, so whether or not you get the Dragon Soul isn't that important; a single big dragon is much better.

However, assuming you're in the mid lane and reach level 6, which is around 6 minutes and 35 seconds before recalling and finishing the fight before 7 minutes and 30 seconds, then the Dragon Soul will take place at 26-27 minutes.

This is a very crucial point in time.

What's the key point? The key point is that at this point in time, everyone is building up their three core items. For example, if Ezreal has two core items compared to Ashe having two core items, Ezreal is definitely stronger in team fights. However, when both of them have three core items, the situation is not necessarily different.

The Dragon Soul team fight at this point in time means that a mid-to-early game composition can use the Dragon to their advantage and force you to engage in team fights.

If you don't accept, I'll take the Dragon Soul and force my way into the mid lane. You'll still need two items to fight me with two items, and my margin for error will be higher.

If you accept, considering the team's power spike, you still can't beat me.

There's really no solution.

"The next wave of card cooldowns will be over, but it's not a big problem. I'll definitely be on the top lane for the next Herald team fight." After marking the Herald and his own experience, Roland had a clear understanding of the upcoming match.

Eight minutes after this kill, the enemy bot lane definitely won't be level six. Without a level six Ashe, it's impossible to support the Rift Herald; at most, a Nautilus might go.

While Roland and JKL couldn't do it either, he had more experience surviving than Titan, and he was willing to accept the cost of roaming.

The principle behind roaming in the next wave is not to fight the enemy in the Herald team fight (because we can't win), but to establish vision and prevent the enemy from taking the Herald and then diving Flandre's top lane.

As expected, a little over a minute later, Twisted Fate used his ultimate to open up vision and force back the restless TES group, successfully securing the Rift Herald. However, seeing that Swain and Graves were in the upper jungle, IG didn't dare to directly release the Rift Herald to the top lane.

TES's lineup can be summed up in one word: drag.

Just like White Crescent told Roland: You have to hold back for the first 18 minutes, or your bonus will be deducted. After 18 minutes, I can do whatever I want and start any team fights. If you start too few, I will deduct your performance bonus.

Look at how wicked these capitalists are; they're masters of double standards.

If TES doesn't engage in team fights, IG's chaotic team fights can't unfold. Lucian can't gain a lane advantage that can dominate a lane just by relying on his net worth and turret plating.

Nearly perfect operation.

[Tsk tsk tsk, why is TES playing like EDG today?]

[The King of Boards was so incredibly steady this game it was disgusting. Did they secretly switch players? If he were even slightly normal, he should have used his ultimate and flashed in at level six, right?]

[The Akatsuki organization, please understand, all their attacks are planned.]

[Does your "plan" mean that even when the team is invincible in team battles, you still send them one by one to feed kills to Konoha?]

Watching this Shakespearean-esque match, everyone said they were almost falling asleep, except for one person: JKL.

Although he didn't get a kill during the mid-lane gank when he reached level 6, he gained enough experience. Although his wave clear wasn't as good as Ashe's, he reached level 6 first.

Even if you're a level 5 Ashe, you can't possibly push a level 6 lane, right?

This is the end.

With the shift from offense to defense, JKL's "ordering" journey officially begins.

"Tsk tsk tsk, EZ forcing Ashe's tower, JackeyLove's showing off is pretty good." After looking at the bottom lane situation, Roland couldn't help but admire JKL's ability to order food, it's really amazing.

“Indeed, it’s quite outrageous.” Casa nodded in agreement.

However, perhaps because these two's spectator-like behavior offended JKL, who was guilty of the sin of greed, the next second, Brother Shui's Bible followed:

"You guys have the nerve to say that? Your mid laner could have pushed the lane, and the jungler could have come to help me push the tower, but you two didn't say anything and just stayed there, letting me go and eat the enemy tower plates. What's the point of playing this game? Every game you give me Ezreal, you give me a weak bot lane. Am I weaker than him? Why do you give me a weak bot lane? And you don't care, you don't say a word."

Roland, Knight, Casa: ......

"Just tell me if you enjoyed your tart."

"fragrant."

"Then what the hell are you babbling about?"

"Mainly... I'm really tempted by the 300 yuan one next to the tower, want some from you guys?"

"roll!"

Integration: Chapter Seventy-Two: The Advantage Lies With Me

Of the four lanes, IG's top lane was the only one with an advantage, but TheShy still wasn't having a very comfortable time. On one hand, he rarely got any kills, and on the other hand, the enemy support was just too annoying.

The level 3 W skill has a terrifying range of 6500 yards, covering almost half of Summoner's Rift, and its base damage is a terrifying 160.

Roland understands Shy Man's approach to life very well.

He doesn't need to do anything special. Anyway, he's just running around in the jungle with Karsa and there's not much to do. When his W skill is off cooldown, he just throws it to the top lane. If he happens to run into a minion, he'll spend a little more time waiting for the skill animation to cut off when you're last hitting the minion.

Although the damage was not significant, the insults were extremely strong. In just a few Ws, Shyman's mentality had already begun to waver.

"I think the enemy on the road must be absolutely disgusted by me right now."

"It's alright, but we need to find an opportunity to give Flandre a taste of his own medicine in the top lane." After looking at the CS difference in the top lane, Karsa felt that he should do something.

The current situation of Flandre is a bit special.

Thanks to his extensive experience, he successfully avoided many ganks by retreating in advance, and was only killed once from start to finish. However, because he played too cautiously, he missed out on a lot of experience and gold from the minion waves, which is why he is now completely unable to defeat the opposing Lu Xian.

Aside from not giving the other side a few 300 gold coins, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Jayce was killed a few times, but it wasn't that bad. At least everyone felt that there was still a chance to salvage the situation.

"Then should we find them to pick up the group?"

"Don't take them on yet, but we can find some of their isolated members to reduce their numbers." With that, Kassa marked the Twisted Fate in the mid lane.

Ten seconds later.

When the Twisted Fate player, who was standing not far from the tower, saw the enemy Sylas suddenly use his E to face him, he was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

While your Sylas might be very strong in the late game when your cooldowns are up, you don't have much damage in the early game, right?

I'm standing in front of the tower, and you're crossing the minion wave into the tower to fight me?

Thinking of this, Rookie subconsciously placed his finger on the W key, intending to instantly use the yellow card to pin Sylas under the tower the moment his control ended.

But just as he was thinking this, a familiar magic circle under his feet lit up again.

W [The Vision of the Empire]

Array?

It's not a big problem. The mid laner has been annoyed by this support so many times, one more time won't make a difference. Besides, he took Swain's W skill into account, so it's nothing.

Just as he was thinking this, a yellow crescent-shaped beam shot out from the sky, sweeping across the card's body from afar and taking away a significant portion of his health.

Rookie: ? ? ?

After finally realizing something was wrong, the moment Rookie regained his freedom, he instantly switched to Yellow Card to stun Sylas in front of him, then tanked the damage from the opponent's Q skill, and Flashed back to his own tower.

It hurts so much!

With one Ezreal ultimate, one Swain's W, and most of Sylas's combo, Rookie's Twisted Fate barely had a chance to finish off his opponent before his health was already at the kill threshold.

This terrifying long-range attrition capability caught him completely off guard.

Meanwhile, watching the card disappear from sight, Li Yun quickly marked the possible location of the card within the fog of vision and shouted loudly into the team's headset:

"Second Battalion Commander, where the hell is your Italian cannon? Pull it up for me!"

"Yes."

"fire!!!"

"Bang!"

R [Ultimate Bomb]

As a wisp of smoke fell from the cannon, the low-health Twisted Fate innocently collapsed behind his own tower. He was puzzled; he hadn't done anything, just taken a tower-hug E, so how did he die like that?

Why are you ganking my Twisted Fate instead of Lu Ban in the top lane?

Is the "Kakashi is always the one who gets caught in the crossfire" law?

【666666】

[Great teamwork; if they had missed even one skill card, they would have been able to survive.]

[Is it really a targeted explosion? Would it be more effective if JKL were given an Iceborn Gauntlet?]

[Are you kidding me? Ashe was already snatched up by IG.]

This lineup can be seen as an attempt by TES to adapt to the poke meta. The coordination in this play was purely lucky, and the core strength lies in the ranged skill support.

However, once it proves effective, the advantage of this lineup will rapidly expand.

With the mid laner dead, the Troll Warlord didn't even dare to peek out, fearing that the enemy would spot him and surround him. The Lu Xian in the top lane also dared not continue to push, who knew if he kept pushing like that and three big men would suddenly rush out of the jungle.

Although Shy Man likes to have fun, it doesn't mean he's completely brainless. He can still tell the difference between 1v2 and 1v4.

"Holy crap, why didn't you guys invite me to do something this fun?" Seeing the three assists next to him get the kill, Flandre wanted to join in even if he was just watching.

"You'll have your chance. Go ahead and farm this wave. I'll go back to the bottom lane to protect EZ. I'm afraid the enemy Nautilus might just turn around and attack without his ultimate to clear the wave."

“That makes sense. After all, there’s only one female hero on the field, so it’s understandable that Titan is eager to save her. What if she becomes the chosen one?” After happily finishing off a coat of plating, Knight made a rare joke.

"Come on, I also saved a girl back in 2009. Just when I thought love was about to come, I found that 100,000 brave men were going in and out of her room every day."

JKL: ...

A counter-attack allowed Roland to successfully block Titan, who was also heading back. He understood this kind of reverse thinking from the support role all too well.

God knows what kind of valuable players his jungler was when he played top lane back then.

There are players who are specifically targeting him and ganking him along the way. These are all okay, at least these junglers prioritize their own jungle clearing rhythm and then casually gank with their duo. If you get targeted, you can only say that you're unlucky or that the other player is duo queuing.

If you try to catch someone once but fail, they'll pretend to leave and try to catch them again, or they'll use a dash to pretend to leave and try to catch them again. These are just reckless fools. Forcing them to self-destruct in terms of level is like using the Seven Injury Fist technique.
