You actually want me to...

After glancing at the enemy's crocodile and spider, Roland thought for a moment and decided that he had to pick something that the enemy jungler couldn't gank, so as to transfer the risk of being ganked away.

So here's the question: which hero is least afraid of being ganked by the jungler in the early game when playing top lane?

"It was indeed a wise choice."

Top lane [Heimerdinger], locked in successfully!

LWX: "???"

Roland: "Bro, your team is missing an AP carry in this Irelia mid lane build, so I'll just pick Heimerdinger and go top, is that okay?"

LWX: "Hehe."

Because he wasn't very bright, Da Congming didn't immediately see the filthy thoughts in Roland's mind and simply thought he was there for the sake of the show.

That's normal, though.

Anyway, they only play one or two games at noon. Since it's not for the sake of the show, they don't need to duo queue to rank up. They can just quietly make up for the lost points in the evening.

He's the God of War at Dawn!

soon:

Blue side: Top lane Heimerdinger, Jungle Hecarim, Mid lane Irelia, Bot lane Ziggs + Senna

Red team: Top lane Renekton, Jungle Elise, Mid lane Qiyana, Bot lane Viktor + Bard

Yes, in the Mythic item version, AD carries naturally dominate the competitive scene. But if you look back at ranked games, you'll see that a lot of people have been playing bot lane for two years without picking an AD champion.

For the AD carry position, if they get ahead and have enough items, they can really hurt people.

However, this does not change the fact that he is weak and easily killed by unknown AOE. In fact, even in Master and Challenger games, there are many ADs who frantically move around in team fights and then die.

Times have changed, adults.

As soon as Roland finished selecting his hero, he turned off the team voice chat and started bragging to the viewers in the live chat. Regarding yesterday's match, there were naturally a lot of people praising Ale's amazing four-man stunt more than anything else, which Roland found amusing.

The more praise he gives, the better his judgment must be, right?

Of course, this is only true of the e-sports circle. Although there are many bad aspects to this circle, it also has many pure aspects due to its age.

seriously.

If this were my past life as a corporate slave, and the boss praised someone in public, in most cases that person could basically prepare to resign. If they didn't leave, they would be waiting to be discarded after their usefulness was over.

As for why?

All I can say is that those who know, know.

Summary: Chapter 79: This is... the end!

Back to the game, the hero Heimerdinger is all about entertainment, and like the Shaco, he's not really suited for climbing the ranks in high-level games.

Then why use it at all?

It's all for the sake of the show! It's already Season 11, and people who play seriously and methodically during live streams don't get many viewers. If you don't do something funny, why do you think you can compare to those Valkyries? Even if you don't compare to them, you can't even pass the test of the next level, or even virtual streamers.

As the saying goes, "A king who reigns supreme for ten years goes unnoticed, but one day in Wuhu, the whole world knows him."

The Grand Marshal next door woke up so early; he's already transformed into Committee Member Han.

People always need to learn to be flexible.

Roland hasn't played many great inventors, but he's definitely played quite a few. Just like some operators who are almost impossible to appear in normal maps, but shine in roguelike games, many heroes in LOL are indeed not very useful in regular ranked and normal games, but they are absolutely amazing in ARAM.

Big Head was one of them.

Take Electrocute from the talent tree, and just allocate the rest of the points randomly.

This hero has an extremely high skill ceiling and floor, depending entirely on the number of turrets on the field and in hand. She possesses the ability to take on multiple opponents, but lacks chasing ability. Even in a 1v1 situation, this hero differs significantly from Illaoi. Illaoi thrives on the number of allies present, and landing her ultimate is considered a success. This little guy, however, is vulnerable in a solo lane; she's both afraid of the enemy not coming and afraid of the enemy making reckless plays.

One or two without flinching, two or three still manageable, three or four competing in terms of condition, four or five exploding on the spot—that's exactly him—Turret Bobby.

"For players below Diamond rank, I actually recommend that everyone practice this. Although it can't be called strong, it's not easy to collapse, and the key point is that it's simple enough."

Yes, it's simple.

Just place the turret there; it excels at everything from replenishing troops to attrition.

You don't need to worry about pulling or distance. Just remember not to spread the battle line too far and not to place the turrets too far apart. Even if the enemy jungler comes to gank, it's not difficult to cripple, drive away, or even get a double kill, provided that the captain is banned.

Incidentally, just over a month before the events in the book's timeline, around the end of Season 10, a Chinese player's big-head video on the Korean server amazed a large number of onlookers, which is the so-called "Mage Big Head Push Stick" gameplay.

Roland chose this option with a bit of an experimental mindset.

Start by going live.

There's not much to say, let's start placing the turrets. Since the maximum number of turrets that can be stored in the level 1 Q skill is 1, it means you can't place one turret while holding another. Therefore, most of the time, Heimerdinger players cannot participate in level 1 team fights.

If the turrets aren't set up before the minions arrive, any skilled enemy top laner can forcefully tank the damage and place them one by one. With a 20-second setup time, the enemy top laner will be completely helpless against the enemy and the minion wave.

As for the arrangement?

Just copy the Joker's Box Three Treasures Formation; he's familiar with that.

Goodness, this is a Pharaoh and the Clown pose!

[The classic turret triangle formation—does your turret still have any fear?]

[Q deals no damage when pressed, W is useless, E has both availability and damage, ultimate is selective, HXD is playing the Joker.]

To be honest, if I were the enemy jungler, I wouldn't really like ganking this.

In the early game, Roland's turrets were placed slightly to the back, and he relied on auto-attacks to last-hit minions. This was because his Q skill required level 5 to unlock its maximum configuration count. Even if he didn't reach the maximum configuration count, he had to wait until level 3 with a configuration count of 2 before he could push with confidence.

In the early game, without the support of equipment, the turret's damage is very low. It might be able to kill one person, but when the enemy jungler comes, the damage is spread out and becomes insufficient.

Therefore, in the early stages, the key word is: Survive!

Since Roland wasn't pushing the lane, and the enemy had turrets to help last-hit minions after pushing, he had some free time to check on the other lanes and chat with the chat, bragging about how awesome he was.

"The saying goes that the poor rely on mutations, while the rich rely on technology. Although Yordle City is collectively cute, it actually frequently witnesses famous scenes of the underdog's rise to power. Look at that Tristana, she has a flamethrower Poppy who can build Gundams as her simp, and then she becomes a simp for Teemo herself. Can you imagine this scene in real life?"

"Huh? You mean I'm also a model of a loser's rise to success? Yeah, sometimes I think I'm pretty lucky."

"It's not the location of your birth that's good, but the timing of your birth."

"Seriously, it's just that I was born early. At least I started out as a second-generation debtor. If I had been born twenty or thirty years later, I might have been burdened with debt."

It must be mentioned that a certain Mr. Ma has set a bad precedent. First there was the bride price loan, now there is the childbirth loan, and he doesn't even dare to think about what kind of loans will come next.

While they were chatting and joking around, both top laners reached level three at the same time.

This is the time when the enemy jungler Elise most likes to gank. If the top laner is Renekton, they will basically go to the top lane unless there is a problem with the early jungle clear.

Roland glanced at the minion wave that was about to enter the tower, looked at the turret that was charged on his Q skill, and obediently controlled Heimerdinger to stand in the center of the turret array.

In this wave, I'm most likely to be overtaken.

One reason why Da Tou isn't strong in high-level games is that when the jungler ganks the top lane, they will always save a Smite for the turret. Another reason is that a skilled jungler will also give the second turret a basic attack while ganking, allowing the top laner to take down the second turret while the turret is engaged.

The so-called Three Deadly Formations of the Fortresses will be reduced to only one in an instant.

In fact, that's exactly what the opposing spider was doing.

Just as the minion wave reached the tower, the familiar Spider figure emerged from the bush, immediately using Smite to take down one turret, and then using AQ to attack the other.

Given the inventor's small stature, he didn't need to retain too many skills on him.

The moment the Smite landed, the Crocodile immediately used E+Flash to enter the fray, raising his hand to stun the Heimerdinger under the tower. But before he could even swing his hand, a CH-2 Electronic Storm Grenade was already in place.

Dizziness successful!

Just kidding?

Dude, I've played so many professional games. It's hard to predict the location of a Spider that's far away, but predicting the location of a Renekton who's trying to dive my tower is as easy as a child's hand.

Who hasn't played with an alligator before?

The early arrival of the Great Inventor's control meant that the tower dive might become unpredictable. Seeing this, Spider finally couldn't resist using her E skill, Cocoon, to attack.

but...

Q【H-28G Evolution Turret】

The cannon he was holding finally came down, successfully blocking the spider's cocoon.

"Shu~"

While casting Q, Flash to create distance, then press W [Hextech Micro Missile] hard.

Fun fact: No matter how many turret beams the Great Inventor's W skill triggers, these beams only count as a maximum of two beams of damage. At this point, there are exactly two turrets left on the field, which means that the W skill is maximizing its damage at this time.

This is... the end!

Special Beam Cannon

Shoot it for me!

Summary: Chapter 80: Wounding the enemy eight hundred, but losing one thousand of your own.

[Excellent reaction, young hero!]

[A close call! Too bad the enemy didn't draw the tower's aggro, otherwise we could have killed them.]

How can you eat it? It will only make you dizzy and lightheaded, leaving you with absolutely no room to maneuver.

[Not bad. He survived with almost no health loss and even severely damaged two opponents. Strictly speaking, this wasn't a loss; in fact, it was a small gain.]

That's where the charm of the big head lies.

When facing the enemy's top laner diving under the tower, you only need to pay attention to two things.

First: the hit rate of the E skill.

Second: Pay attention to your positioning to dodge skills (the Great Inventor will have an extra movement speed bonus near the turret, making it easy to dodge skills).

It's that simple.

Of course, if he really wanted to do it, Roland could have gambled on flashing in to kill the spider when the crocodile flashed in, but he didn't do that in the end.

Firstly, because the Spider's success rate with E is not high; secondly, because he has never forgotten his purpose.

Did he choose the Great Inventor just to show off his skills?
