You actually want me to...

Professional players' ranked games that they can stream are really just for relaxation and to maintain their skills, or even more simply, for practicing heroes. Strictly speaking, they don't play at their full potential.

Try to put yourself in their shoes.

Let's say you're a martial arts practitioner who wants to make a name for yourself at an upcoming martial arts tournament, and you've been honing your signature move. Before the official tournament, would you casually use that move on to any nobody you meet to show off how powerful you are?

If such a person really exists, then that guy is either already three meters old and overgrown with weeds, or he's one of those so-called chosen ones who become protagonists.

Therefore, professional players' actual training time usually consists of various scrimmages and private accounts provided by the club that no one knows about.

Huh? Didn't you already know that the opponent in the training match was asking?

The practice matches are all on a rotation system, not like you're playing against the same team every day until you're dead. Besides, putting aside whether people hold back their skills, the fact that everyone is constantly improving each time is already a big difference.

The last time you fought me, I might have been using the village chief's sword. The next time you fight me, I might be wielding a dragon-slaying saber.

"Alright, guys, now for the most important part of playing the Joker support: remember this simple step. It's the biggest difference between a newbie and a master." With that, Roland quickly typed the crucial code into the Enter key after the game started: /mute all

Synopsis: Outlaws on Radiation Island

First Encounter: Chapter Ninety: Three Boxes

At the start of the game, aside from the possibility of skipping the level 1 team fight, the clown has three options, just like the three boxes that appear after his ultimate explodes.

First: Use the box to help your own jungler clear the jungle, thus gaining the jungler's favor.

Second: Quietly bypass the enemy jungle and place boxes on the way back to the enemy bot lane duo. There is a 30% chance that the enemy bot lane duo will be back to lane with half health.

Third: Place a box directly at the stone golem to signal AD to come and eat it.

If we're considering entertainment value, then the second option would undoubtedly be the best for creating a good show. However, Roland played a high-level game, which is quite challenging for the Joker, so he could only choose the 2.5 option.

Throw a box at the buff, then start placing more boxes at the Krugs. Take a little of both options, and incidentally force the jungler to go to the enemy jungle to cause trouble for the enemy jungler.

Just a quick note.

The Shaco support champion started to become popular after Season 10, or more accurately, it gradually became a regular pick starting at the end of 19, mainly due to the game version.

At the end of 19, the champion Shaco finally received a change: his passive, Stab, changed from a three-second cooldown to no cooldown; his Q skill, Invisibility, was buffed; his W skill, Box, could fear and attack multiple units; his E skill changed from AD scaling to AP scaling and its damage was increased; and his ultimate skill, well, let's not talk about it, it's just a matter of adjusting the numbers.

This change has caused a major mental breakdown for Joker players who had been sticking with the game. While the passive skill has become cooldown-free, critical hits have also been removed, eliminating the joy of flanking and instantly killing opponents with two strikes.

However, this is precisely why another style of Joker has emerged: AP Joker.

Unlike the crit build that aims to instantly kill, or the pure tank build that's only for stomping newbies, this AP build's biggest advantage lies in its crowd control. The fear from the box, the slow from the E skill, and the explosion and group fear from the ultimate are the tools that AP Shaco relies on for survival.

From a disadvantage perspective, the Shaco support is rather lackluster. It's not very useful except for annoying opponents in lane, and it's also difficult to fight against some aggressive supports. It doesn't have much ability to hold off ganks, and its roaming ability is only slightly above average.

So what are his strengths?

It's so that he can disgust his opponents and bring himself pleasure. (crossed out)

Ahem, the advantages are the ability to divide the battlefield, the advantage in contesting jungle resources, and more comprehensive vision control.

Yes, since it's all live streaming, if you don't occasionally play a game like this that gets the most comments to lighten the mood and liven up the chat, are you still going to make money?

Once you're online, the level 1 Shaco isn't very useful. He can just place boxes to control vision in the bushes, and then throw the boxes into the minion wave as soon as they spawn, trying to reach level 2 quickly.

Since the lane matchup was Miss Fortune and Thresh, Varus actually had lane control in the early game. No matter how much he tried to avoid his poke skills, he would inevitably touch his own minion wave.

Of course, the opposing team is happy for Varus to push the lane. As an ADC without any mobility, not to mention whether you will get hit by Thresh's Q, just pushing the lane forward even a little bit will almost certainly kill your own Aatrox if he charges down. So they simply weren't in a hurry to take back lane control.

The opposing team didn't want to engage their AD carry and wasn't aggressive. After assessing the situation, Roland's strategy became clear: place defensive boxes. One box was placed in the middle of the lane at the AD carry's feet, and the other was placed in the bottom lane bush at a horizontal position. These two boxes weren't very useful to advance, but they provided a lot of room for maneuver when retreating. Farming around these two boxes was at least temporarily safe.

Then, Roland turned his attention to the minimap.

Can the Joker support go into battle? Yes, but you need to check the map.

Whether you're playing as a Shaco support or any other support, always check the minimap before engaging in a fight. The period between 3 minutes and 30 seconds and 4 minutes is the most stressful for top laners, as junglers often gank during this time to reach level 3 quickly.

Similarly, the support role just needs to keep an eye on this time.

If neither jungler appears in the top lane at this time, and your own jungler has completed a round of clearing from bottom to top and the censorship is still active, then without a doubt, the enemy jungler is most likely near the bottom lane, or even clearing the river crab in the bottom jungle.

Although this has been said to death, support players still need to pay attention, because in ranked games you can't rely on your teammates to give you signals. Most of the time, when you receive a MISS signal from your ranked teammate, the person who MISSed is probably already right in your face.

"Okay, the enemy jungler is showing up in the top lane, our jungler is AFK in the jungle, and our mid laner is getting wrecked by the enemy. Everything is back to the familiar ranked game atmosphere. I can feel it. It's all back."

【reality.】

[It's exactly like playing ranked games; it feels like every lane except my own is completely destroyed.]

I'm alright, at least I ban Yasuo in ranked games.

Banning Yasuo was really overpowered, but it's also quite something that this mid-lane Yasuo could get completely dominated by the enemy Galio.

It has to be said that the Diamond rank is different. The enemy Galio comes with Ignite right from the start, which means he must have a good understanding of the Yasuo mid lane solo lane strategy. Judging from the current situation, if our jungler doesn't go to support us soon, we might really get crushed.

But what does that have to do with him being a kind and sunny clown?

Invisible, approach, place the box.

Then he appeared and delivered a backstab, followed by a basic attack. Just as Thresh was about to retaliate, his W box fear triggered, and he threw out his E skill to slow him down while immediately starting to retreat. Varus followed up immediately, unleashing an AAE combo, and finally using his Q to try and finish him off.

The standard Shaco support laning poke technique can deal around 200 damage in one combo. The main damage comes from the boxes and AD, and the player is purely going in to trade health.

But it works incredibly well.

In the early stages, when no one has scanned or has true sight wards, Miss Fortune and Thresh are completely helpless against these invisible boxes placed while invisible. Especially if the enemy doesn't greedily use auto-attacks and retreats in time, by the time they recover from the crowd control and try to fight back, they'll find they can't deal much damage at all.

This is the charm of Shaco support; when paired with an AD carry like Varus who has strong laning and poke abilities, the pressure is maximized.

Yes, both poke ability and laning ability are essential; neither can be lacking.

If your AD carry is a Vayne who is weak in the early game, or an Ezreal who is prone to zero damage output when there are minions, or if the enemy team has a high burst damage composition, then it is still recommended to stick to traditional support, because playing Shaco in these situations will just result in feeding kills.

Only after pushing the lane and Varus running out of mana and going back to base could Roland finally abandon the AD carry and start invading the jungle. Normally, this time after pushing the lane and going in is the same time when the jungler is coming back from their first back home, marked by the support's ping, and Hecarim happily follows them over.

"XDM, when playing Shaco, you can't be confined to the lane, just like when watching cosplay, you can't be confined to the gender, okay? Because our hero has strong early-game fighting ability (his main damage comes from his E skill), he can help the jungler do a lot in the early game, and besides..."

"My knife is coated with poison, slurp~"

First Encounter: Chapter 91: I only suggest you play this thing less often

Summer has arrived, all things are reviving, and it's the season for creatures to reproduce. The air in the canyon is thick with the scent of hormones, and a wild Darkin is currently unleashing a frenzied barrage of attacks on the Frog Queen at the edge of the canyon.

Darkin, a creature unique to summer, has three times the protein of beef, and many people dare not eat it. However, the Joker and the Centaur are different; they especially like Darkin as an ingredient because, strictly speaking, neither of them is human.

In a state of stealth, the Joker silently glanced at the Darkin's health level, then contentedly placed his "beast trap" on the road.

Then, when Frog Queen was at the last sliver of health, a single basic attack easily secured her victory.

At this moment, the Sword Demon was completely dumbfounded.

For someone as powerful as him, the terminator of the world, it was already hard enough to spend half a day working with a frog concubine. But now that it's finally over, where has his frog concubine gone?

Is it a bug?

However, he quickly realized what was happening. As he launched his basic attack, the clown appeared out of thin air, making it clear who the thief was. Seeing someone stealing his jungle monsters, the Aatrox picked up his greatsword, ready to fight the clown to the death.

The next moment, he arrived.

The team that finally arrived at the battlefield didn't even think twice before activating their E skill and kicking Aatrox. They then unleashed a barrage of skills, and with the help of Shaco's damage, the young Aatrox simply couldn't withstand this double whammy.

"Whoosh!" The teleportation was completed.

There's no way around it; outnumbered, you can't just let him fight head-on. Fortune changes every thirty years; don't underestimate the Dark Elf. Once he's fully developed, what awaits the opposing team will be a spectacular sight: the river, Aatrox, and a godlike aura.

But the instant he flashed to the ground, a box suddenly appeared on the ground, along with a debuff called Fear that was forcibly applied to the Sword Demon's status bar.

"Holy crap! What the hell is this box?!"

The Sword Demon never expected that even after he had used his Flashy Ball, there would be boxes from the other side in this very spot. Seeing the Sword Demon, who was feared just a wall away, Roland swiftly swung his E skill to finish him off, turning the Sword Demon, who was full of energy just a second ago, into a fresh food box the next.

First Blood!

Simple and easy, first blood secured.

【666666】

[A classic sunny, cheerful guy, Ah Ban, did you learn this from Baidu?]

[Would the Sword Demon be so angry that he smashed his computer, only to have a box pop out?]

As someone who's a master of the Joker, I still suggest playing less of these kinds of heroes that can drive people crazy. At first, when the enemy team insulted me, I wasn't angry at all; in fact, I was a little excited. I initially thought they were joking and calling me a pervert, so I went to their friend list to interact with them, only to find out they were genuinely insulting me. Then I was even happier.

Oh...that's pretty outrageous.

Having secured the 400 gold from First Blood, Roland had many more options for his first recall. First, he needed a Mejai's Soulstealer, a core item for Shaco, which provided assists, AP, and health regeneration from potions. Then, he bought an AP Tome, a Control Ward, and a Fairy Charm, and was ready to go.

With Manaflow Band, a support item, and Fairy Charm, Shaco managed to overcome his early-game mana shortage, allowing him to frequently place boxes. However, it was still a Diamond game, and the opposing bot lane duo wasn't stupid. Knowing Shaco's item advantage and Varus's high early-game damage, they didn't bother fighting him at all.

The reason why the Joker doesn't work in high-level games is that opponents can completely avoid getting carried away and give the opponent no chance, unless the jungler comes to help.

What can you do then? You can't just throw the box in someone's face, can you?

He patiently helped the AD reach level six, but the opposing team showed no intention of coming to the bottom lane to fight. Instead, various battles broke out in the upper jungle, making Roland envious.

But there was no other way; he really wanted to go, but he couldn't leave beforehand.

Before level 6, Varus alone in lane is basically feeding; if Thresh flashes and E hits, he's almost guaranteed to die. You have to wait until the AD carry reaches level 6.

This is also something that supports need to pay attention to. It's not that you can't roam, but you need to figure out what kind of AD carry you are. If it's a strong laner like Lucian or Tristana, who has high burst damage and mobility, as long as they don't happen to be recalling and are still a few hundred points away from getting their items, just leave.

Or you could play a weak champion like Ezreal or Sivir, or just go for a yo-yo.

However, if it's another champion like Jinx or Varus, who lack mobility and hard crowd control in the early game, then if the support leaves, the ADC is basically useless.

He's finally free after enduring so much.

"No way, guys, I have to get out of here. Although there hasn't been any fighting in the bottom lane this game, I can vaguely sense the strength of the enemy bottom lane. It's the kind of aura that belongs only to the strongest players in ranked games, the aura of a 'rank slave'. We can't afford to mess with this bottom lane, let's retreat."

After saying that, Roland marked the retreat signal for the bottom lane and quietly walked backward along the bushes until he was completely out of the enemy's sight before he circled around and started running towards the jungle.

If the bot lane doesn't give us an opportunity, then we can only look to the mid and jungle.
