You actually want me to...

This hero has some obvious weaknesses. He doesn't have any particularly good crowd control skills. Although his boxes have a fear effect, you can't exactly throw them in someone's face.

The only active skill is E, which is mainly used to annoy the opponent. In fact, since it's a W-max build, the E skill doesn't do much damage.

What can Roland do while he's away?

Counter-gank, establish vision, and try your luck by placing a few boxes in the jungle.

The purpose of doing this is not for the team's victory, but to prevent teammates from blaming you when you are at a disadvantage, because in most games with the Joker, you are generally at a disadvantage in the early and mid-game, so you have to make a good impression.

Of course, it's still the same.

Before roaming, make sure you know what your AD is.

If it's an Ezreal, give him two kills, let him roam, and if he gets caught out, then it's definitely his fault. That's why Roland could have gotten kills early on but didn't.

Conversely, if it's a champion like Jinx or Ace, then it's advisable not to pick Shaco. Once these AD carries come out, it means that supports only have two choices: either a soft support/defensive support, who has to be both the father and the mother; or a support that is even squishier and shorter than him, but can still draw aggro, such as Xerath or Ziggs, to directly transfer the risk.

Otherwise, the bottom lane will likely be overrun, and even if they don't, they will be ganked.

Just as supports have their roles, AD carries also have theirs. The most efficient way to win a game is to make your lane composition as comfortable as possible.

After failing to find an opportunity during his roaming attempt, Roland could only scurry back to the bottom lane.

That's what support is all about.

Not every roam will yield results, but if you don't roam, your team will definitely lose a significant amount of tempo to the opponent.

"This game is going to be tough." After playing so many tutorial games, Roland didn't expect to run into a tough opponent in the Diamond rank today. The enemy mid and jungle players were clearly skilled at playing against Shaco. One cleared the wave and retreated to the tower, and his vision control was excellent. The other player was always consciously buying control wards and scanning, and had roughly cleared Roland's loot boxes.

"Alright, now we come to the problem that everyone usually dreads the most: how do we turn the tide when we encounter players who are familiar with the Joker's mechanics?"

"First, we need to keep following the AD carry. Second, we need to see if we can kill the enemy bot lane a few more times. Finally, we need to pray that the top lane doesn't collapse too quickly and that we can hold on until we get our CDR boots and Hextech Gunblade."

"In short, just be a coward, and then... then leave it to fate."

Seeing that there was really no chance, Roland simply put the box down when he had nothing to do, and then gradually turned his attention back to the screen.

To be honest, if it's not the Joker himself playing the hero, you really can't get the hang of it.

Why could Roland do it? Because he had already proven himself through his actions. How many ordinary people could be like him, watching the Dark Ages of 6 BC live and then watching the S-Series qualifying rounds of 2 AD and the S-Series group stage of 3 AD live?

If so, what about adding TI?

Anyway, Roland, who stayed up all night to watch all these matches, thought he was no different from a idiot. If he had known the results of the matches back then, he would never have done the stupid thing of watching the matches live.

Wouldn't it be better to sleep a few more hours instead of wasting that time?

[Judging by how frequently the top laner is dying, I can already imagine how much suffering the top laner will endure.]

The most disgusting scene in League of Legends isn't your teammates going AFK, but rather when your lane opponent is so bad that you're constantly dominating them, yet because the enemy team has farmed up, you end up getting chased down and killed by them.

[It's true. I played a game the other day, and I completely crushed the enemy bot lane. Then my 8/0 AD carry got instantly killed by the enemy's 0/3 assassin. Then the 6/0 top laner pushed all the way to my base. Finally, the AD carry that I crushed at the start got his items and was chasing me all over the map.]

No, I'm already completely immersed in the story.

This is exactly the tragic thing that is happening in Roland's game now.

The top lane collapses, which in turn collapses the jungler; the jungler's disarray affects the mid laner; and the bot lane's Ezreal and Shaco lack the ability to tower dive, leaving them helpless against Miss Fortune and Pyke who are huddled under the tower.

Even if the mid and jungle players belatedly try to gank the bottom lane, the results are minimal because the opponent has leveled up and lacks crowd control.

After more than ten minutes, Roland's disadvantage actually began to accumulate.

However, there is also good news: since their bottom lane is the only advantageous lane, Shaco's equipment has barely kept up with the pace. He has completed both Iceborn Gauntlet and Ionian Boots of Lucidity on time, and even had extra gold to buy a Stopwatch.

"Alright, guys, I won't go into the usual tricks of the Joker creating clones. You can watch any Joker streamer and they'll know how to do it. But now, I'm going to show you something different."

To turn the tide, the losing side must seize the moment when map resources are about to refresh and start the fight.

It's almost the 20-minute mark in the game, and the enemy jungler, Lee Sin, specifically chose this moment to activate the Rift Herald in preparation for pushing the mid tower. This team fight is inevitable. Without vision and protection from the mid tower, our jungle will fall further, gradually leading to a slow death.

Seeing the blue team members calling for the vanguard not far away, Roland first activated his ultimate skill, creating a clone, and then directly controlled the clone to watch the show from behind. Only after the clone had completed about half of its rotation did he control his real body to stealthily sneak over.

"Watch closely, I'll only teach you once."

After typing that he would initiate the team fight, Roland controlled Shaco to stealthily enter from the side bush in the mid lane with Q, release the box with W, and then quietly sneak up next to the enemy mid laner Syndra.

Ignite + Backstab + E + Zhonya's Hourglass

Almost the instant he appeared, he unleashed all his damaging skills at lightning speed, startling everyone on the opposing team with his sudden appearance.

However, after discovering his golden body, all the shock gradually turned into joy.

what is this?

Did you argue with your teammates, so you're feeding?

This situation is rare, but it's not unheard of. Although they weren't entirely clear on what was happening on the other side, at least for the blue team members, they had only one thought in their minds: thank you for nature's bounty.

As Roland watched the enemy players gradually gather around him in their quest for kills, the corners of his mouth widened in a growing smile.

"Watch closely, art is Patrick Star!" With that, Roland manipulated his clone, which was about to explode, to walk in the opposite direction out of the range of his ultimate move, just one second before his invincibility time was about to end.

The next moment, a fully healed "clown" suddenly appeared in the center of the crowd.

"Bang!"

Today, the canyon is another day of nuclear peace.

Integration: Chapter Eighty-Four: [Destiny]

The sudden appearance of Heaven and Earth sharing the same fate not only shocked the viewers in the live stream, but also stunned the red team's teammates, so much so that they were unable to react at first.

However, they went up immediately.

The reason why the Joker is difficult to play in high-elo games is that, in addition to being countered by lane-pushing heroes and not being prone to making rash decisions in high-elo games, the main reason is that his role in team fights is too small.

To put it nicely, you have a clone that can instill fear in the masses.

But to put it bluntly, which high-ranking player doesn't completely understand your Joker's skill mechanics? We may not have eaten pork, but we've seen pigs run, right?

Before Season 10, the only famous Joker in the world was a North American fat guy. There was no famous Joker player in China. At that time, Joker's strength was not enough. You could say that he could outmaneuver people by taking advantage of information gaps.

However, with the changes to Shaco in S10 and the rise of short entertainment videos (where people used to watch skilled streamers and looked down on them for smurfing in lower ranks, but now they love watching low-ranked streamers "using their brains" to smurf), the popularity of short entertainment videos has increased.

OK, so on today's video websites, even if you don't follow anyone, you can still easily find short videos of amazing talents like the Joker, Teemo, and the Great Inventor.

Now that's great. In the past, you could win by exploiting information gaps, but now everyone has seen it all before and knows that the Joker's special skills are just a few: combos with B, three-box formation, six-box courtyard, pulling clones, and using clones to deceive people. So how are you going to play in high-level games?

My strategy with Shaco was to rely on the opponent getting overconfident in lane and to send a clone into team fights. Now, in high-elo games, everyone is on guard against you, which makes you practically useless.

Even this remote control technique is just a limited-use skill that can only be used once.

However, that's enough for now.

The clone explodes, blasting a bunch of enemies. After emerging from the golden body, the Ice Lance active skill slows down another bunch of enemies, and then Roland can finally take his hands off the keyboard.

There's no Q, no W, and no ultimate ability.

At this moment, Roland just wished that the League of Legends designers could see the vulnerability in the hearts of Shaco players and give Shaco a quick buff. He didn't need to buff him too much; just give him a passive ability that would make his true form explode into three boxes even after he died. We're not greedy (doge).

After a god-like team fight, the red team achieved a brilliant 1/4 score and was even able to rush the Baron.

This should have been an exciting scene, but the viewers in Roland's live stream were paying attention to something rather unusual.

[Such a cool scene, and not a single question mark appears. Were these teammates all veterans of World War II?]

[There's a big problem. This was so cool it made me dehydrated, and these teammates didn't react at all.]

Stop the baseless criticism, everything has been muted.

It's just that each person has been killing fish for ten years.

Looking at the unremarkable chat box in the lower left corner, Da Huo felt like something was missing, but it didn't matter. With such a huge advantage from taking the Baron, they should be able to dominate and finish the game, and the MVP award wouldn't be a loss.

That's what everyone thought, but ten minutes later...

When the red team's base vanished in front of all the viewers in the live stream, Roland trembled as he picked up his cup from the table, took a sip of water, and then breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that there's only 0/5 available information...

Plus, this was only the first game, and it was being streamed live. He would have already sent those idiot teammates to their graves one by one.

A unique characteristic of the Chinese server: players tend to overextend themselves when they have an advantage. They often mistake the team's advantage for their own and then feed kills to the enemy team.

Chinese server feature 2: When the team finally realizes that they have gone too far and things are not going well, they will call for a team fight to decide the outcome. However, every time they gather, they will find that there are not enough people. They either have just enough money to go back to upgrade their equipment, or they are farming in the jungle or farming in the side lanes.

Okay, with the combination of Feature One and Feature Two, plus the already weak lineup, the game was over. Looking at the nearly 20 ranked points deducted at once, Roland's heart was bleeding.

[Hilarious! I typed a whole bunch of classic text messages, then deleted them, changed it to "Can fight, can team fight, can win," and then lost instantly. I realized it was better to just start flaming.]

[The author assumed others had harmonious families, but didn't realize some people don't even have families. He's really too young for his age.]

Am I the only one wondering why this account, which hasn't been used in so long, still shows a text message saying "5/5"?

[That's because you haven't watched this guy's streams much before. Back when he was in LDL, he could enter Zaun like it was nothing.]

Indeed, that is the case.

Roland was originally an orphan in the first chapter, so ordinary Zaunian literature couldn't hurt him at all. In addition, he was a professional player with fast typing speed. For a short period of time in the Chinese server, he was indeed a well-known strongman in the Zaun region.

Honor? It doesn't exist.

If someone misjudges his mouth and lights a cigarette, his teammate's kissing is in danger.

They throw the pot on my head and start playing the piano; this is really annoying me.

Come on, let's do a debriefing!

In all these years of League of Legends, which player has never dared to openly argue with someone? It's just a matter of indulgence versus restraint. Let me give you an example: TL's Jane.

Do you know how awesome this guy was back then?

His keyboard skills were so masterful that he verbally abused people so much that Riot Games permanently banned him, which also led to the disbandment of his entire club. If it weren't for a benefactor who helped him get his ban lifted, Perkz might still be happily playing in the LEC with G2 right now.

"Alright, alright, we're all about having fun playing games. Let's all play with sportsmanship, play with sportsmanship." With the idea of ​​setting a good example as a professional player, Roland forcibly suppressed his rage in this round and then started the next one.

result:

Second game: Bottom lane against top lane high ground, send.

Third game: The jungler was on the roster, and when they ganked top, the mid and bot lanes got killed. They finally managed to stabilize the mid lane, but the top laner who got first blood got solo killed. One lane died and two lanes died. What a mess.

Fourth game: The jungler really only knows how to jungle, keep sending.

Fifth...Sixth...Seventh...
