The Chase: Chapter Thirty-Two: The Flow of Heaven and Earth
"Good heavens, what exactly did this kid do to the C9 players?"
Watching Roland's incredibly tragic fate on the screen, even the professional players in China who had already taken their vacations were feeling particularly pained.
It's not that arresting them is wrong.
Instead, ganking the support three times in a row was completely unnecessary. Although the bot lane didn't lose out, it disrupted the jungler's rhythm by more than half.
But... considering C9's consistently erratic playing style.
Suddenly, they felt that it wasn't so hard to accept?
"I don't know what happened... but don't you think it looks pretty cool?" Hearing Xiao Hu's words, Ming laughed first with a sly smile.
This guy really went all out when he played against RNG.
One unconventional strategy after another, unconventional heroes – RNG was the only team to enjoy such an honor throughout the entire playoffs. They even thought that if they had taken things more seriously at the beginning of the playoffs and hadn't fallen into the loser's bracket to face TES, they might have actually made it to the playoff finals given their increasingly strong performance.
It's truly a pity.
"Really? But I always feel that, apart from the first death which was a genuine accident, the other two deaths seemed like they were intentional?"
"How could that be? Do you think he's a director? Can he predict his own script?"
"But... he didn't even spare a single Summoner Spell."
To be fair, Xiaohu could understand Roland's death when he was tower-dived the second time. After all, it's common practice for support to sacrifice themselves to protect the AD carry, unless it's the Ardent Censer meta in Season 7.
But he died in battle for the third time.
Even if Morgana has the advantage of hiding in the bushes, with the slow trajectory of her Q skill, he's not JKL, how could he not react?
Recalling this guy's usual playing style... a terrifying thought suddenly popped into Xiaohu's mind.
Is this guy putting on an act again?
In-game.
After dying three times in a row, BLABER's Morgana no longer had the idea of ganking the bottom lane. If this were a ranked game, it would be fine, but this is a competition, and she still needs to keep up with her jungle development.
Moreover...
Which team can say that they will definitely not have the opportunity to scrim with TES in the future?
Killing him three times is about right. At least there's a reason for revenge. If he kills him any more, he really can't imagine how badly this petty man will retaliate against him in the next training match.
"Ah Shui, help me get revenge."
"Forget it, how can we report that bot lane duo? The two of us combined aren't even a match for one of them."
The small cannon with a score of 2/0.
JKL is now so afraid that he doesn't even dare to go up to last-hit minions in 1v1 situations, for fear that this guy will use a rocket jump to last-hit him as a super minion.
"It's alright. It's precisely because he might only be Little Cannon later that we have a chance. Knight, show some weakness."
"Oh? Okay."
Although they weren't quite sure where Roland's confidence came from, they naturally followed his advice because they trusted him. When the mid laner made a mistake and didn't place a ward in time, the bot laner, thinking that their AD carry could handle Leona, decisively abandoned their AD carry and chose to roam.
This is normal.
The reason why Tristana is a frequent pick in competitive play in the current version is that she can easily gain lane priority while not being easily tower-dived and killed in 1v2 situations. She has both strength and mobility, which can perfectly free up her own support to roam to other lanes.
only...
Are you underestimating the harm caused by green tea?
When Seraphine was first released, Roland's previous life would feed terribly if he tried to pick her, and he would just keep losing. But as time went by, and after she finally appeared in ARAM and gained a foothold, he realized how powerful this champion truly was.
Except for the later stages.
There was also a short period of "high-volume surge" in the early stages.
In actual testing, Seraphine, at level 4 with only a support item and an Amplifying Tome, can deal nearly 550 damage to AD with a single skill combo plus her passive, and also provide teammates with a shield of over 100 health. This is the skill build that prioritizes Q.
So what about the main E?
It's roughly around 450. If you use Ignite to exchange for other basic attacks that might be mixed in the combo, then it means that as long as Seraphine's skill hits, the 450 damage from the basic attack combined with her passive is a fixed value.
In the early game, how much health does a level 5 cannon have?
It is 950.
With the remaining 500, the support can auto-attack once or twice, and the rest of Kai'Sa can easily finish them off with a QW combo plus an auto-attack.
This is a small burst of power for Seraphine around level four or five, the kind that's hard to understand, and it can only be used once. If you use it more than once, the opponent will be on guard. The reason this combo came about is because there are so few games where Seraphine is played as support in ranked matches.
Information asymmetry is the killer weapon on the field!
"How do we play? Same old rules, I'll sell?"
“No, this time we’ll do something a little more unconventional.” Stopping JKL’s actions, Roland casually marked a brand new route on the minimap with a signal.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, GO!"
Before long, under Roland's command, C9's bot lane AD noticed that Seraphine, who was already at 0/3 and practically a complete collapse, was once again appearing not far from him, greedily farming minions.
What also intrigued Zven was... that this distance seemed to be just within his reach?
It has to be said that Zven was completely tempted this time.
Even though he's already a terrible support player, if he can put up an 8/0 score and become a godlike player, wouldn't he become the pride of North America on Twitter tonight?
This is similar to raising silverfish (also known as barbarian fish).
It's said that if you can keep it alive for a month, you can rule all kinds of fish forums, become the forum's master, and dominate the entire forum for generations to come. Don't even consider the consequences or conditions of keeping it; just hearing about this supposedly successful outcome, aren't you excited?
So Zven went ahead, resolutely and decisively.
Seeing the AD Tristana jumping up and down on him, Roland, sitting in the TES player's seat, also laughed. What is the biggest problem with this small burst build for Seraphine?
It's an empty skill.
People are jumping right in your face these days. Even a Silver player could take a full combo from an AD carry at point-blank range.
Q first, then A, then activate W to absorb damage.
Flash towards the river, and when Tristana's E skill passive is fully charged, turn around and throw two E skills to create distance as the root is generated.
Every detail must be perfected, including ensuring that Tristana's E skill is fully charged to refresh her W skill passive. By this point, Roland Seraphine's health has reached rock bottom.
The debuff is dispelled, and the small cannon follows up with its second W attack.
As the saying goes, a person loses their rationality when faced with near-death experiences.
At this moment, Zven was confused as to why Roland flashed into the jungle instead of the tower, and he didn't even notice where the AD Kai'Sa had gone. Just as he landed his W and was about to take down Seraphine, Roland finally unleashed his final trump card.
Ignite the fire, perform a full-stack basic attack, then remove your hands from the keyboard and wait for the hero to trigger auto-attack.
Close the door and let Ah Shui out!
W [Void Target Search]
Q: [Exia's torrential rain]
When Tristana finally got close to the low-health Seraphine, JackeyLove's Kai'Sa had already circled around the jungle and successfully cut off all of Tristana's escape routes.
It was only then that Zven truly realized something was wrong.
But... it was too late.
"Don't kill him so quickly! Let him kill me first." Seeing JKL's decisive output, Roland, who was about to pick up his water glass, immediately started shouting into the team voice chat.
"Are you crazy?"
"Are you stupid? My 0/3 is worthless now. If he kills me, his 3/0 will definitely have a bounty on him! Haven't you studied math?"
"Oh, that seems to be the case."
Upon hearing Roland's words, JKL decisively slowed down his output speed, waiting until Zven successfully took down the low-health Seraphine before he followed up with his last few basic attacks to finish her off.
C9's Zven has killed TES's Ban.
[TES_JKL kills C9_Zven]
It was clearly a one-for-one trade in the bottom lane.
However, on both sides' total economic panel, TES inexplicably gained more economy, and even while suppressing the opponent's carry, it also helped its own carry develop.
This is the unique playstyle of the collapse-style support - the Heaven and Earth Together style.
The Battle of the Deer: Chapter Thirty-Three: The Perfect Closed Loop on the Field
"This kid... he's a real talent."
Only now did White Crescent truly understand Roland's thoughts; this guy really did send it on purpose.
The top lane Malphite is a useless champion; if he gets ganked and falls behind, he can still be a useful Malphite if he lands his ultimate well in a team fight. But Seraphine is the same; no matter how many times she dies, she throws her ultimate in team fights to crowd control, not because of her own level or items.
No matter how significant the area-of-effect (AOE) damage of the Stone Golem's ultimate ability.
Does anyone have a Seraphine ultimate that long, thick, and hard?
The core of this playstyle, which involves sacrificing one's own life to allow the AD carry to farm, lies in how to land skills so that the AD carry can secure the bounty for the enemy AD carry. Considering that Roland hasn't used a single summoner spell throughout the game, it's likely that he had already planned out the subsequent baiting process and strategy from the moment he was caught the second time.
If you strike its head, its tail will come; if you strike its tail, its head will come; if you strike its middle, both its head and tail will come.
Tactics, in essence, are all about flexibility and adaptability.
"When we first brought him in and signed him to a contract, the management was all reluctant. Now... they're all bragging about signing Roland as a major achievement. There's a reason for that." Old Guo glanced at the economic panel on the field and couldn't help but feel glad that he hadn't objected to hiring a support player.
That bitch.
If you keep it at home, it's a treasure of the team; if you keep it at someone else's house, it's just disgusting!
"See? I told you we could play like this. I said before the match that C9's vision control was terrible." Roland's words came through JKL's headset the moment he got the kill.
"Indeed, as an AD player, I always ward around when no one is around, at least to know how I died. This is my last bit of dignity as an AD. This Tristana is clearly a piece of trash without the soul of an AD."
"You AD carry players even have that thing?"
"Don't ask, QDC, who plays Ezreal and builds tank items, has no right to speak."
