You actually want me to...

Rookie's champion pool is actually quite broad, but his teammates are all incredibly picky about champions.

"The next Dragon Soul team will probably go all out."

"Same as always, you guys clear the way, I'll handle the support." Heaven knows how much emotion JKL felt when he said those words.

When does an ADC have the ability to change the course of a battle?

First: After 35 minutes, an AD carry with around five items already has the ability to change the course of the battle.

Second: the first month or two after a new AD is released or a new version is updated.

Before Aphelios was nerfed, he was the go-to champion in every match.

Before the Mythic item version was nerfed, AD champions were rampant for about half a month.

The Samira version lasted a little longer because she was nerfed in three phases: the target of her E skill, the rating and damage of her R skill, and the cooldown of her R skill after it was cast.

Going further back, we have to look to the Kai'Sa version that LPL bot lane ADCs love the most.

Only during these specific time periods can AD carry have the ability to change the course of the battle. Outside of these periods, even if they get the first pick in the draft, they are mostly just tools to gain lane control.

"OK, Knight, go clear the lane first. Use your ultimate to clear it, then fly away."

"So cautious?"

It's no wonder Roland was so cautious. At this point, the only way for IG to win the game is to fight a beautiful team fight and secure both the dragon and the baron, thus closing the economic gap.

Given the current gap between the two teams, their most likely approach is to target isolated players.

Set up a troop deployment line, lay an ambush, and wait for a lone soldier to advance.

The method may be old, but fishing is timeless.

Few professional players can control their greed for minions. In fact, even without becoming a professional, most people wouldn't want to join a team fight if they saw two or three waves of minions piled up on the side lanes.

only...

Under the card's ultimate ability [Fate], IG's ambush plan ultimately failed.

"I knew it, these bastards just love to play dirty tricks."

"No, do you have the right to judge others?"

"Why not? I've been on the front lines the whole time. I, Luo, believe in doing things fairly and squarely. I'm warning you, don't slander me."

On this one point, Roland felt he could speak up.

He's not dishonest; he just doesn't need to be dishonest all the time. Take Luo Yonghao, the founder of Smartisan phones, for example. He did repay the money, and he didn't break his promise, but can you say he has no problems at all based on that? Obviously not.

Just like League of Legends, it has accumulated a good reputation over the past ten years, right?

Then, he pulled a fast one, launching a surprise attack on PC game players, causing them to be caught off guard.

So, just take these personas for fun; they're actually pretty stupid.

"..."

Although the TES players had a lot of complaints they wanted to voice, in this game, TES really didn't need Poppy to initiate team fights, because he simply didn't have the ability. If Poppy wanted to initiate a team fight, it would be a head-on confrontation, without any tricks or deception, just like in a certain Assassin's Creed game, stealth is invincible, and drawing her sword is unstoppable.

He can do a great job playing a counter-attacking style, but asking him to initiate a team fight is really asking too much of him.

In this match, the responsibility of initiating the team fight still fell on Ah Le's shoulders.

As the Elemental Dragon's respawn time approached, the players from both sides once again gathered around the Elemental Dragon. Of course, IG is currently having some trouble dealing with TES.

Poppy is one thing, cards are another.

Since its release, the Artillery build has always been the third item for Twisted Fate, because it's too long.

As the saying goes, "An inch longer, an inch stronger."

Let's put aside the size of that thing for now and use a more normal one. Hey... when you're cleaning your ears, doesn't it feel better the further you go in? Every little bit of extra distance brings a profound sense of awe.

Otherwise, why do you see so many ear-cleaning shops on the streets now?

The idea is to let everyone experience another kind of shock in their hands while their souls are being shaken. As the saying goes, the best state for a man is big, thick, hard and long. You feel the "bigness" in your hands, you accept the "length" in your mind, and you are prepared for the "hardness". So in the end, your wallet will also "go out (thickness)"!

With their combined strength, toughness, and long-range tactics, and under the dual pressure of Twisted Fate and Poppy, IG's front line simply couldn't push into the fray.

"Ah Le, don't worry about our location, just find your own spot."

"Huh? Is that okay?"

"While we can still win by dragging things out using the conventional methods, it's too slow. Let's try to find a better starting position ourselves, and then we can try to leave work early!"

Roland acknowledged Ah Le's ability to find opportunities.

Players who specialize in top lane warriors have an extraordinary sense of the weaknesses in the game. In addition, given the characteristics of the Monkey King, leaving Ale on the front line would be a waste.

Of course, there are also drawbacks.

If the monkey gets surrounded by the enemy while trying to find a position, it's practically a free 4v5 situation. If this flanking maneuver leads to a loss, A-Le may face considerable public pressure afterward.

But isn't this just right?

Your goal is to become a world-renowned top lane star.

Your opponent is IG, the gacha king who ushered in the new era of gacha games.

Your opponent is Thess, the mechanical monster who once dominated an era.

And you, nowadays, are nothing more than a newly caught shrimp under the thumb of a powerful family, your fame is not even as bright as the opposing support.

Now, make your choice.

Returning to the ordinary, or perhaps...

Soaring upwards!?

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

P.S.: I hope I can play Black Myth: Wukong before I turn thirty.

Summary: Chapter 98: What kind of top laner are you if you don't have some arrogance?

At 26 minutes, it was the optimal point for both teams to exert their strength. The only difference was that TES had already secured the first three dragons. If TES also secured the last dragon, the balance of power in terms of team composition would instantly shift.

This was a must-fight team fight. If they missed this opportunity, unless IG had a perfect team fight, they would basically have no chance to compete with TES again.

Knowing this, Ah Le became increasingly active in the jungle.

At this point, he was still at a disadvantage compared to TheShy on the opposing team. Even though their laning phase might be influenced by the jungler, experienced top laners know that the enemy jungler is often not a primary concern. Some top laners even consider the enemy jungler as part of their income stream.

The top lane position has never been afraid of fighting outnumbered.

1V1能穿，1V2能杀，1V3能跑，1V4能换。

Why play top lane if you don't have a bit of arrogance?

This is a common process that most top laners go through: gradually going from not being able to win the lane at first, to getting used to the enemy top and jungle duo, to getting used to the enemy's ganking tactics, and then venting their frustration in the occasional massacre game.

Why has the top lane position become so attractive to players since Season 8? Because this position truly allows for a lot of different gameplay experiences.

The bottom lane is incredibly weak in this patch, and junglers are extremely busy. The seemingly most important mid lane has gradually become a machine for farming minions and providing support. Only in the top lane can you still enjoy the purest laning, kiting, psychological warfare, details, and skill level.

The monkey is playing against Gnar (Conter).

However, in this game, the Monkey King was suppressed by TheShy almost from start to finish, and he couldn't achieve any of the desired effect. This was due to his own lack of ability. With Ale's arrogance, even if the enemy jungler came to help gank and it wasn't a fair 1v1, his self-perception would not change at all.

Losing is losing, being unable to win is being unable to win, and temporarily admitting that you are inferior to others is not a bad thing. But what he cannot accept is the possibility that he might be completely outmatched by the other side.

If you're no good at laning, then I'll challenge you to a team fight.

If you're not good at exploiting weaknesses in lane, then I'll compete with you in seizing opportunities in team fights.

Many people don't understand his stubbornness, but only he knows that everything he does is for his own redemption. The professional esports scene seems glamorous to many, but from another perspective, imagine you're a 17-year-old rookie who finally makes it into the LPL, only to be initially placed in a team that everyone can see is just conceding defeat.

You try your best to improve, to make your plays more dazzling, but when you look back, the games you're destined to lose will still be lost, and after the loss, the team will still get the same amount of money. But how much self-discipline can a group of teenagers maintain through grueling training?

With dreams dashed, the atmosphere unfavorable, consumption rising, and the future seemingly clear, it might be wise to consider the timing of entering the factory.

Everything was heading in the worst possible direction. Even during the hard-won transfer window, when RNG was his only hope for a trial, they betrayed him and humiliated him.

Have a good attitude; if you have the ability, don't underestimate a young person's potential.

Those with a poor mentality and lack of ability will immediately give up and quit.

He originally thought that his life was set the day he failed the tryout. He might go back to OMG and stay there for another year or two, or even OMG might not want him anymore. He humbly applied for tryouts to various clubs. There are dozens or even hundreds of players like him in the LPL every year.

In his eyes, the most glorious day of his life was not the day he achieved fame and success.

But

The day I decided to set off amidst confusion and despair.

.......

On the battlefield, due to Ale's early misposition, TES's defense was not as solid as they had imagined. A very good opportunity arose, and Baolan's Thresh finally performed as an IG support, flashing and hooking Poppy at the extreme position.

In that instant, alarm bells rang in Roland's mind!

However, he underestimated IG's talent and determination. The river brutes, once they start using their brains, are also an extremely terrifying threat.

The group-buying method is almost exactly the same.

From the side and rear, Udyr, with his speed boost activated, charged towards Samira's position, attracting the attention of a large group of TES players and drawing out a yellow card; while directly below, Gnar, with his rage controlled, flashed in and used his E, then jumped and used his R to push TES's mid and support players against the wall.

In this chaotic battle, Rookie was the only carry who failed to keep up with the team's damage output.

He is waiting.

Younger players might have already used all their skills to rush in, while older players are quite aware of the Monkey King's destructive power during this phase.

Their lineup is a positional warfare lineup.

Syndra has no mobility skills, and Kalista, due to her sturdiness, doesn't dare to stray too far from her support. If the enemy front line rushes in at this time, it will cause a serious disconnect between their front and back lines.

Sure enough, just one second after the team fight started, Rookie successfully spotted Wukong from a ward behind him.

鏉ヤ 钖楋纻

The black ball on the ground had already condensed. Rookie thought for a moment, then used his Q skill to throw it forward, seemingly unaware that Wukong had successfully flanked him.
