You actually want me to...

At the same time, the two main tanks in the mid lane were also locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

It's undeniable that a few months ago, Xiaohu's Cloth Armor Boots + Zhonya's Hourglass really gave ZuoShou a hard time, but now it's only been a few minutes. Apart from Neeko being able to bully Qiyana a bit with her range advantage in the first two levels, once both sides are close to level four or five, it's really a matter of either side being able to get killed if they're not careful.

Actually, there aren't any particularly difficult maneuvers. Although these two mid-lane heroes may seem flashy in most situations, their skill execution is relatively simple.

It was roughly the left hand that landed the skill, Rookie countered with a control skill, Rookie unleashed a combo, Qiyana flashed and applied Ignite to auto-attack, Rookie then calculated his health and realized that getting close to him would be stupid, so he flashed to create distance, and the left hand stopped chasing.

See, isn't this explanation much simpler than those simple operations that require three to five chapters of slow-motion description, commentary shock, audience shock, and guessing games between the two players?

That's how he is in MD matches.

Who the hell calculates damage step by step using formulas in a game? Most professional gamers are just mediocre students in school, okay? They've really just practiced the popular heroes of the current version so much that they've memorized what damage each level and item can deal. Then they just look at the health bar and think, "Ah, I think I have enough health to kill him," and go for it.

Yes, that's reality.

The only things that might come up are positioning, prediction, knowing when to do what, and how to trick the opponent into timing their attack – these are the things that players have truly thought about.

The low-health rookie, back under the tower, wasn't in a hurry and immediately recalled. On the surface, it seemed like he was being cowardly with low health, but in reality, after this exchange, Qiyana would lose Ignite, and once he returned to base and upgraded his items, the enemy wouldn't be able to solo kill him anymore. Besides, the minion wave had already been pushed forward; this recall, while not necessarily profitable, was definitely not a loss.

Rookie has also done some research on Little Tiger's three-piece tiger outfit.

He's a coward, though a bit cowardly.

But it can win.

Like Karsa, Rookie is already a veteran with only a few years left in his professional career. In addition, he has been playing the role of a carry who relies on farming and squeezing out blood for many years. He has never considered the face-saving issues that would result from simply choosing items.

Just as he was browsing Taobao, pondering whether to buy a pair of armor first or shoes and armor first, a red array suddenly appeared beneath his feet.

then

"Snap." With a mental explosion, Nicole's last bit of health vanished without a trace.

[TES Ban kills IG Rookie]

First Blood!

Broiler chicken: ? ? ?

Faced with the sudden black screen, Rookie was completely dumbfounded. He hurriedly clicked on the death replay and found that the Raven's W skill icon was right in front of him. From God's perspective, Roland had only just reached the vicinity of the dragon when he was already happily walking back.

He gambled on this move and won big!

It's obvious that Rookie hasn't played Dota much. He dared to not defend against the manual casting of Skyfire when recalling. He's still too young.

【666666】

An unforeseen path.

[If they can secure a kill in the mid lane from this distance, and their damage is even higher, could they completely steal the mid lane wave?]

[Damn it, Zhang Xwen, talk to me from your main account!]

There's not much to say. This one shot is already a shoo-in for today's top 5 highlights. I just wonder how many poor mid laners will get relentlessly ganked by their own supports once this thing becomes popular.

"Wow, that's amazing, Ah Ban! This Heavenly Fire technique is incredible."

"Hehe, I made a killing this time, 400 yuan!"

"Are you the support or am I the support? I spent half a day painstakingly farming minions, and you just walked away for a short while and you made up for it all?"

"It's alright, P-King. We support players have a saying that goes: You farm your minions, I'll farm my kills, we each take care of our own things, that's called teamwork."

"???"

Getting the first kill means he can immediately pull out a small Hextech revolver when he gets home. If he had enough money, he would even like to release the Lost Chapter right away.

This version of the revolver adds 40 ability power and an extra magic damage to basic attacks. While the damage isn't very noticeable in the mid-to-late game, the boost it provides during the laning phase is significant.

Titan had barely escaped the predicament of losing a third of his health after being hit by Raven's combo, only to have Raven sneak around and immediately turn back to deal even more damage.

Of course, that's about all the advantages the bottom lane has.

Due to the version of the game, the fight for the first elemental dragon is usually extremely fierce. In this particular instance, when both teams' bottom laners were still at level five, the other laners were already gradually focusing their attention on the bottom lane.

Simply catch a wave - then spawn a dragon.

This is a common process for most teams after they can't gain an advantage in the early game. As time went on, Roland saw more and more of the Prince's possible movements through his W skill.

"They want to start? But it seems like they're waiting for the bot lane to reach level six."

"The ultimate-focused strategy is that once the Prince or Nautilus unleashes a powerful ultimate, everyone else can just spam their skills and still win. IG's lineup this time is quite simple."

"Should I go up and bring one back now?"

"No, we'll wait until level six, then we can fight." Roland marked his experience bar on the left, deciding against his cowardly playstyle. Ultimately, it can only be said that Raven is a very deceptive hero, leading to the common perception that he doesn't do much damage at this point in the game, because he's so unpopular.

However, Roland was well aware of the harm he had caused.

Against a lineup that doesn't have many burst damage moments, as long as you dodge the first wave of crowd control, you can just run rampant and kill everything in the middle.

"Wait until I reach level six with P-Emperor, then you've all seen Full-Time Master, right?"

"I've seen it before, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"It's good that you've seen it. I'll show you what a real melee mage is like in a moment!"

First Encounter: Chapter 52: I Feel They're a Bit Pretentious (Part 2)

In the river bushes, Zuo Shou, who hadn't managed to find Neeko after a while, sighed and continued walking down. Clearly, both sides sensed an impending fight in the bottom lane, but Rookie had also astutely detected the danger in the river and chosen to take a detour.

There's no way around it, this team fight in the bottom lane is inevitable.

This situation, which was almost unheard of in previous versions, has become a daily occurrence since the elemental dragon revamp in Season 10, because you have no choice but to fight it.

If you don't fight, the elemental dragons belong to the enemy. One or two dragons are acceptable, but starting from the third dragon, the pace of the game is completely in the enemy's hands. In this version where elemental dragons are everything, the strategic significance of the fourth dragon from the Dragon Soul is even greater than that of the Baron Nashor.

"I felt it." Roland suddenly said this out of the blue.

"what?"

“I can feel that they’ve all come back.”

"???"

Just as P was wondering what was wrong with him, a military flag appeared first in the bushes on the lower right side, followed by a spear thrust out like a dragon.

Prince initiates the team fight with a double EQ combo!

Ning, known for his aggressive style of jungling, launched the first attack at this moment.

"Demacia!"

With a double knock-up and his ultimate trapping the enemy, the Prince, who had been trying to block vision for a while, successfully engaged on the enemy AD carry, leaving P-Emperor dumbfounded. Keep in mind that this was a pushback lane, and the enemy Nautilus and Aphelios were positioned quite far back, which is why he dared to move forward slightly. Who knew that even that small movement would allow the enemy jungler to engage him?

Just as the prince trapped them, Aphelios switched to his weapon, Firefly, and used a basic attack combined with his Q skill to clear the minions. With the addition of Nautilus's E, the minions within a certain distance were almost instantly wiped out.

The brilliance of this upgrade shines through the IG duo.

Seeing this, Roland immediately used his E skill on the minion wave, taking down the low-health minions while a glow of leveling up rose from Miss Fortune's body. Because Swain frequently used his W skill in the jungle, Miss Fortune often farmed solo lanes in the bot lane, and she was also already on the verge of reaching level six.

Landing, backhand, open attack.

[Bullet Screen Time!] Begin!

The Titan couldn't hook him, and the Aphelios dared not stand in the barrage of attacks. The Prince's ultimate, ironically, became his best and safest environment to deal damage. At the same time, two teleport lights flashed, and Lee Sin and Neeko appeared simultaneously in the bottom lane, instantly turning the entire bottom lane into chaos.

But in this chaotic battle, Roland, who usually showed the most enthusiasm for initiating team fights, appeared unusually cowardly.

AD got fired? What does that have to do with me? I can't save him anyway.

Going to stop the enemy's damage output in a team fight? Please, he's not even level six yet, how dare he go there? Besides, even if he did go, are you sure he'd just be feeding ammo to the Moon Man's Flame Ultimate? Only an idiot would go there now.

His actions were simple: use his skills when available, and stay on the sidelines and pretend to fight when he didn't, making the most of his "bluffing" skills.

It wasn't until P-Emperor was focused down and killed that someone in the team finally noticed that he was slacking off.

Just as P-Emperor was about to speak, the light of upgrade enveloped Raven. Roland's eyes lit up, and his ultimate move, [Demon's Ascension], was activated!

"Whoosh~"

The sudden transformation startled everyone in IG. After the first round of skill exchanges, both sides had basically run out of ultimate abilities and entered the second phase of individual show and kiting. For the time being, no one had the time to deal with him.

This scene is the most popular scene among Raven players.

One E skill directly controlled Rumble and Jarvan IV, who were at the front, followed by a W skill to explode and pull them back, and a Q skill to finish them off. Although the damage didn't seem particularly explosive due to being a support, the actual damage was still decent with the Hextech Revolver, directly reducing the health of the two opponents.

"Wait, what kind of weird damage does this crow do?"

"I don't know either. Let's ignore him for now and focus our fire on the one with half health."

In their view, apart from the obvious damage from the main character's W skill, the damage from the Q and E skills of the crow was within their acceptable range. Right now, both sides' front lines were fighting fiercely, so they had no time to pay attention to this crow.

Offstage, the two commentators were also shouting at the top of their lungs:

"The female gunner's ultimate skill level 6 came at just the right time. This ultimate skill prevented the Aphelios from entering the fray immediately."

"Both top laners have come down. Rumble has activated his ultimate, and Renekton has also activated his ultimate. They're going to go head-to-head."

"Wow, Karsa's Lee Sin and Knight's Qiyana cut straight to IG's backline. The Nanfu duo had absolutely no way to deal with this mid-jungle duo."

"Neeko! Neeko is back to the rescue! Wow, Rookie's ultimate was a lifesaver!"

Large and small skirmishes were constantly unfolding in the bottom lane. TES's decapitation plan failed because Rookie arrived in time. Miss Fortune's death in front of them forced Renekton to tank the damage from Jarvan IV and Rumble alone. Swain could not help much due to his long skill cooldown.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, TES had no choice but to regroup and retreat.

But if you try to run away unscathed after showing off, IG won't be happy about it. In the LPL, if you've already chosen to engage in a team fight, are you really willing to leave without fighting until one side is wiped out?

Chase!

IG's strategy is to keep chasing until one side is wiped out.

"How much longer, Ah Ban? I can't hold on much longer!"

"Closer the distance, this distance makes it easy for the opponent to react and use Flash."

"We can't pull anymore, or people will die."

Seriously, if it weren't for Qiyana's extremely sneaky and defensive playstyle like the Grass God, he would have died long ago. His current plea for help means he's really on the verge of collapse.

"Alright, then it's my turn to take over."

From the beginning, TES's strategy was simple: wait for their bot lane to reach level 6 and then engage in team fights. They had a very strong impression of Roland's Swain from ranked games. However, no one expected the opponent to launch a surprise attack, forcing them to change their strategy and focus on targeting the backline.

Although they failed, at least they managed to stall until Crow could charge up his ultimate attack.
