LOL: My talent is top-tier, my professional skills are unparalleled.

Chapter 122 Who Wins! Whoever Wins is the Version!

"Huh? Is there such a thing?"

Bang couldn't believe it. He pressed the Tab key to check Xayah's talents on the other side, and found that it was indeed true!
For a moment, Bang was a little taken aback.

Not only him, but the other members of SKT were also stunned when they saw Xayah's talent.

"Did he forget to adjust his talent? That's impossible. How could he make such a basic mistake, especially in the finals?"

Even the usually calm and collected Faker was surprised.

Meanwhile, PDD, who was in the LPL commentary booth, also noticed that something was wrong.

When he saw Xia Dai's talent, he felt a sense of suffocation.

"Hey, what's wrong with Xia's talent? What's with this Netherfire Touch talent?!"

PDD suddenly felt his round head buzzing.

Could it be that Wang Yao gave the wrong talent?

That was his first thought, but PDD quickly realized it wasn't that simple.

Based on his understanding of Wang Yao, Wang Yao was not the type of player who would make such a basic mistake.

Is this some new way of thinking?!

Or is it some kind of ADC black technology strategy?

PDD couldn't figure out Wang Yao's thoughts for a moment.

"And Xayah's attack damage stat isn't right either. Normally, Xayah with a Doran's Blade should only have 72 attack damage, but Wang Yao's Xayah..."

"Something's not right. It must be that Xayah has made some new attempts with her talent rune allocation."

Miller shook his head, secretly wondering what strange ideas Wang Yao had for allocating rune points.

During Season 7, the broadcast director was unable to provide the players' specific rune and talent point allocations in-game.

Therefore, the commentators on stage could only guess the various possibilities based on Xayah's basic stats.

After the match started, both sides farmed the jungle normally in the early game, and the players on the three lanes also laned normally, with neither side choosing to invade.

Mouse's Ryze went straight into the bushes at the start of the game, ready to give Huni a little "father beats son" kind of hero counter shock.

Scout's Jayce also wanted to prove his strength in front of his senior, Faker.

So as soon as he went online, he lingered near the minion wave, maintaining his distance from Malzahar while putting immense pressure on him.

Scout's playstyle against Malzahar is very simple and straightforward.

He stood in front, switching to hammer form. If Malzahar dared to come up to last-hit minions or use his E ability, he would immediately use his hammer to pull the ranged minions over.

The difference in ability between Jayce and Malzahar in a one-on-one fight is that they are not even on the same level.

However, compared to the more intense laning phases in the top and mid lanes, the director preferred to focus the camera on the bottom lane.

After all, most viewers are more curious about how Wang Yao and Meiko, the bottom lane duo, will perform against Bang and Wolf, the two-time world champion bottom lane duo.

And then there's the touch of the underworld fire with the rosy glow—what kind of crazy move is that?

"We can just go straight in at level 1 and put pressure on them. They won't dare to contest level 2 with us... Aigoo?!"

While Wolf was talking to Bang, Xayah's two feather blades suddenly flew towards them.

Xayah's Q skill has a very long casting range, which seems quite disjointed and abrupt compared to her short 525-yard auto-attack range.

Although Xayah's Q Feather Blade has a brief casting delay at the start, once it's released, the projectile speed of Xayah's Q is quite fast.

Therefore, Xayah's Q skill is relatively easy to hit among many non-targeted skills. Bang and Wolf have faced off against AD Xayah many times in the LCK league, and Ruler, who has long been eliminated, is a loyal AD player for Xayah.

Wolf had studied the popular AD carries in this version, so he knew that Xayah's basic burst combo was to activate W and auto-attack, then use QE to pull out crowd control and deal damage.

While Xayah's Q skill has decent base stats, in this version everyone has shields and lifesteal, so getting hit by her Q isn't too bad.

Varus can restore his health by attacking the minions a few times.

However, Wang Yao's Q skill damage was a bit more painful than the SKT bot lane duo had expected.

Professional players are very precise in their damage calculations.

In addition, the attributes of the heroes on both sides are not very high in the early stages, so it is easy to notice that something is wrong.

Wang Yao's Xayah's Q was a bit outrageous!
Even with the 12 attack damage provided by Janna's level 1 shield, it shouldn't hurt this much!

Furthermore, the effect of Netherfire Touch also burned an additional forty-odd points of Varus's health.

Bang and Wolf were both completely bewildered.

In the commentary booth, PDD, like the players on the field, also noticed Xayah's unusual Q damage.

As a retired LPL player who is still active in League of Legends, PDD is very familiar with the keystone rune Deathfire Touch.

The damage dealt to enemies by Netherfire Touch is 8 points + 45% of attack damage and 25% of spell power.

This should be a talent for AP mages.

However, with the exception of a very few mage heroes, most mages will choose to take Thunderlord's Decree.

After all, AP mages have relatively long skill cooldowns in the early game, and while Deathfire Touch itself doesn't have a talent cooldown, it only provides 25% spell power gain!
In the early stages of the game, this becomes somewhat of a waste for mages who desperately need burst damage.

At least in terms of trading blows, AP mages with the Thunderlord talent are definitely more likely to gain a health advantage.

This is why, even after being strengthened several times, the Touch of Netherfire remains lukewarm.

Among ADC champions, Jhin used to be a champion that would take Deathfire Touch, but most players still take Bloodlust as their rune.

After seeing Wang Yao's strategy of using Deathfire Touch to sustain, PDD on stage suddenly thought of an AD build.

"Hey! Is Kshine going to build armor penetration items on Xayah this game?"

PDD suddenly realized this possibility.

The on-site director finally pulled up the runes and talent points that Wang Yao used in this game.

"16 points of armor penetration means the red runes have nine armor penetration stats, the yellow and blue runes remain the same, and the Greater Quintessences are for attack power!"

"Wow! This really is a penetration-focused ADC Xayah! Honestly, I haven't seen an AD carry build like this in a long time!"

PDD felt he had stumbled into a blind spot in the current meta, where most ADCs are now going for attack speed or critical strike builds.

This is the prevailing choice in this version, and only Wang Yao has come up with a strategy like the armor penetration build!

However, this also reminded PDD of ROX's Ashe and Miss Fortune last year. The strong are always the ones who determine the version, and only the weak stick to the old ways in the face of the version!

In other words... whoever wins, becomes the meta!
At this moment, the two people beside them, Doll and Miller, also looked at each other with blank expressions.

Their information on the details of these versions is far less than that of retired players like PDD who frequently play League of Legends.

However, when he saw Lulu get hit by Xayah's QA with the effect of Deathfire Touch, Doll Miller immediately realized the true power of this talent build.

The poke damage of Xayah with Deathfire Touch doesn't seem to be any worse than the opponent's!
"Ah this..."

Not only were the three commentators in the LPL commentary booth shocked, but even KkOma, who had just returned to the backstage lounge, couldn't help but frown.
