You actually want me to...

"Wait a minute, I'll go home and get a new push-up stick."

"Push stick? That mage build that was all the rage a while ago?"

"Absolutely."

When playing games, the point is to have fun.

Regular matches and scrims are already tough enough. If ranked games can't make you happy, then ranked games are meaningless. The only regret is that Roland didn't practice the combo of the Mage build Heimerdinger in custom games beforehand.

Yes, customization is a great feature.

Many people learn a combo from watching videos, but instead of testing it in custom games or against bots, they immediately practice in ranked or casual matches to torment their teammates. Although it's all for entertainment, they usually fail to pull off the amazing plays they envisioned.

Customizing it first makes a difference.

First, master the combos, even to the point of muscle memory, then play casual or ranked matches. The probability of being able to replicate them perfectly will be much higher.

Professional players often follow this approach when customizing skill casting range and last-hitting techniques.

Just like many people who play DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online) know they need to practice hitting targets and navigating the map first, because they know that if they're not familiar with the skill release sequence, they might starve while farming. But once they switch to LOL (League of Legends), this skill is instantly forgotten, which is a real shame.

Due to the characteristics of the hero Heimerdinger, and considering the upcoming team fights, Roland chose to position himself in the dragon pit in advance, and then let the Ziggs, who had Teleport, handle the lane that he should have been handling.

[Huh? Is the board king coming down this early?]

[Seize the vision and set up turrets; that's how Heimerdinger works. If you don't position yourself in advance, the enemy won't give you a chance to deploy them.]

[This thing doesn't feel as impressive as the AP support games I've played before.]

[It's different. This is a hero who fights in a positional battle. Just like any weapon has its specific background and target, don't always compare different weapons. The sharpest samurai sword is not as good as a random axe in a rural backyard when chopping wood. Similarly, in terms of positioning early and fighting around the dragon pit, there are indeed few AP heroes as strong as Heimerdinger.]

When all the turrets were in place and he still had one in stock, Roland's great inventor stopped his busy pace and began looking for a place to hide.

Unlike Irelia, he's a squishy champion. If he reveals his position too early, he's easily killed by the enemy team rushing in.

So the question is, how can one survive the longest despite being so fragile?

A: Just stand behind the AD carry.

Compilation: Chapter 82: Truly Died from an Unknown Area of ​​Effect

A dozen seconds later, the chaotic battle turned out differently than Roland had imagined.

The Summoner's Rift river in front of us has been turned into a chaotic brawl by the players on both sides, with bombs and lasers flying everywhere, leaving the heroes charging in from both sides completely bewildered.

This is the advantage of AP position going down.

Although I might die at the very beginning of a team fight, I can use up all my damage before the team fight even starts! In order to suppress the enemy's health, Roland's bottom lane Ziggs even threw out his ultimate in advance, emphasizing using it early to reduce its cooldown.

"Wow, is this the intimidation power of an AP bot lane? It's making me almost want to give up on AD carries."

"Indeed, but don't worry, we're sure to win this round."

"Huh!? Why?"

"Because, historically, the left side of the river always loses!" Occupying the right half of the river, they are already far ahead of the red side from a metaphysical perspective.

Before the two could finish their conversation, the opposing support Bard had already unleashed his ultimate. Seeing the range of Bard's ultimate, Roland's eyes lit up. He then quietly placed a turret within Bard's ultimate's range and began to move sideways into the jungle.

The next second, the turret was successfully gilded.

"Yay, the Golden Legend!"

Although Bard's ultimate didn't immobilize anyone, it successfully scattered the blue team's positions. Seizing the opportunity, Renekton and Qiyana moved out together and charged towards the blue team.

Of course, the blue team is not afraid.

With Centaur and Irelia, do you think I'm afraid of your charge? At worst, we can just swap backlines.

The heroes on both sides charged into the enemy formation, completely ignoring the enemy's front line, with a very clear objective.

In an instant, the entire frontal battlefield descended into chaos.

Among them, Da Congming was the most aggressive.

For the sake of our forefathers, and for the sake of the temples of the gods!

Maintain formation! Be perfectly aligned!

[Regardless of the consequences, until death do us part]

[Give it your all! This is where we stand guard!]

Lines poured out of Irelia's mouth, seemingly meant to ignite her teammates' passion, but a quick glance at Irelia's predicament revealed Da Congming's particularly awkward situation.

Once Viktor activated his ultimate ability, Irelia dared not get close.

With Bard's Q and Elise's E skills linked together, this guy couldn't even move.

Especially since Irelia built Blade of the Ruined King immediately, her health wasn't as high as he had imagined. After a short while, the lines on the voice chat of the big smart girl were completely changed.

"Holy crap, what kind of damage is this? Where are my teammates? Help me, teammates!" Feeling a deadly threat, LWX hurriedly glanced at the map, intending to see which teammate could come to his aid. But what he saw almost made him vomit blood.

The great inventor, who was originally standing at the back of the formation, had somehow circled around to the top of the dragon pit and was about to complete the entire loop.

"Holy crap! You..."

"Shut up, can't you see I'm circling around?"

"Wait... um... aren't you supposed to be in the back row?"

"You've got it wrong, haven't you? I'm playing an assassin!"

Great Conscience: ? ? ?

Live stream viewers: ???

As he spoke, Roland had already successfully moved to the optimal position to unleash his skill. Let him think about how the Mage God Big Head's combo was supposed to be.

It seems to be... RW flash rocket belt E?

While thinking about his combo, Roland's hands moved in sync. Just as Viktor and Bard were kiting the low-health Irelia in the back row of the red team, a series of intercontinental ballistic missiles came from just a wall away, instantly covering their faces.

Double Kill!

Combined with the initial damage dealt by Irelia, they successfully killed the opposing bot lane duo who were at half health.

Roland: Holy crap?

Big Smart: Holy crap!

Live stream chat: 666666

Seriously, Flash's damage needs a nerf.

As we all know, most heroes become incredibly powerful when their skills are paired with Flash.

I cannot accept that it could be used successfully on the first try.

To be fair, Hextech was invented by Heimerdinger, so it's normal for the equipment to synergize with it (lol).

To put it simply, the core of this combo isn't about hand speed or feel, but rather knowing that this combo exists. If it weren't for skilled players discovering the RW flash-push-push playstyle, this champion would have a very difficult time against players in Diamond rank and above.

The principle is simple: Heimerdinger's W deals significant damage reduction when it hits the same target. By using Hextech Protobelt and Flash to ensure that each wave of W arrives at the same time, the damage reduction is eliminated, which is why it can instantly kill.

Of course, if you really want to finish someone off from full health, you still need Void Staff and Mejai's Soulstealer.

"This burst damage is truly something akin to an esports version of the Su-57." Roland couldn't help but exclaim as he looked at the damage.

What is a Su-57?

"A thing greater than love, it can send all couples to meet their grandmothers with a single AGM."

"???"

After clearing out the enemy's backline, Roland thought the game was in the bag, but when he returned to the battlefield, he was stunned. The strategy was almost identical, except that the opposing team was much simpler. The red team's mid laner, Qiyana, simply used the grass element to enter the fight and then used RWQ to push the blue team's bottom lane under the wall and kill them with AOE damage.

"Holy crap, this hero is just ridiculously overpowered!"

The Mage build's Heimerdinger is incredibly powerful, but he still has to use Flash. Even at full health, he can't be taken down in one combo. What kind of monster is the enemy Qiyana?

One combo and they wiped out their entire back row?

Why isn't this hero being nerfed?

If Roland hadn't been worried about swearing during a live stream, he would have used his dialect to curse.

As we all know, cursing in Mandarin is meaningless; dialects are the eternal gods. Centered on your mother and with your ancestors as the radius, they also come with the blessing of mysterious Eastern power, though they can be a bit hard on your hearing.

The bottom lanes swapped positions, and both mid laners were severely wounded. The junglers continued their battle of wits and courage. Looking at the enemy's half-health crocodile, Roland and Da Congming also felt that things were a bit tricky.

This backline-swapping tactic seems to have benefited no one.

but...

Just as Roland clearly saw Ziana's position, he suddenly went against the grain and headed straight for the enemy, leaving Da Congming completely dumbfounded.

"Holy crap, you're a guy with no skills!"

Just as the great inventor was about to say something, the map suddenly showed that the turrets that had previously passed through the gold mines had been activated again because of the great inventor's forward movement.

As a ruthless artillery piece, seeing the low-health Qiyana peeking out from not far away, it naturally unleashed its firepower without hesitation.

Ziana was also bewildered.

He had just emerged from the grass elemental realm when a bullet struck the back of his head, forcibly taking away the last bit of health he had left after his incredible maneuver.

【Triple Kill!】

This was like throwing a flying wheel with the hand that wiped poop, slashing the enemy, and ultimately the enemy died from infection.

Summary: Chapter 83: One Tip for Ranking Up Every Day

[Holy crap? What's that turret over there?]

Qiyana was stunned. It's easy to dodge a direct attack, but hard to guard against a hidden one.

[Great, this was a fantastic moment for the show.]

[They truly captured the essence of the clown and embodied the great inventor.]

After this wave of attacks, with three kills in hand and over a thousand gold more upon returning home, the Inventor immediately started stacking AP. This game, the enemy's front line only had one Renekton, and for an AP champion, the single enemy front line gave them too many options for equipment.

Of course, for a normal ranked game, this game would end here.
