Occupation? I won’t even hit a dog!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Korean commentator CloudTemplar shouted, "Killing Kennen under the turret, and TPing to the bottom lane to finish off the enemy in front of Ryze and Gragas. The new Akali is too strong. Riot Games, you made a monster!"

[That’s it, Tian got another version bonus]

[Is the designer related to Tian? Why did the changes favor him so much?]

[It must be a version specially customized for the LPL region, otherwise Tian would not be able to familiarize himself with it so quickly. Even our Undead King can't practice Akali well, how can he pull it out?]

[Riot Games has been weakening our LCK region over the years. In previous MSIs, they strengthened the tanky junglers and weakened the mid-lane mages, letting the shopkeepers enjoy the benefits. Before the Asian Games, they reworked several top lane heroes, obviously to allow Tian to play the effect of the king's return.]

【We want to protest, protest! 】

CloudTemplar's words were recognized by many Koreans.

Ye Tian did not show any particularly cool operations from beginning to end. His use of W and R to block Kennen's normal attacks twice in a row and to avoid being marked three times by Kennen were certainly details, but most players' eyesight was not enough to notice this. As for the other QERA actions, it seemed that anyone could do it to the onlookers.

When the Koreans are in a disadvantageous situation, they have to find a reason to comfort themselves and blame the disadvantage on the hero. They completely forget the series of complaints they made before, saying that Akali's rework was a failure, that the E skill should be changed to a targeted one, that one of the numbers or mechanisms must be enhanced, or that the skill should be simply changed back to the old version.

South Korean players' seat.

Kiin, who was full of confidence before the game and wanted to become famous by stepping on Ye Tian, ​​now has a face as pale as the bottom of a pot.

Players at different ranks have different opinions on the new version of Akali, but there is one thing that is completely consistent, that is, the mechanism of W [Shadow Array] can even ignore defensive towers, which is extremely terrifying in an advantageous game!
Tank heroes may be able to withstand Akali's damage with their hard attributes, but squishy heroes will lose the protection of the defensive tower and will be no different from minions in front of Akali.

The Kennen used by Kiin in this game happens to be a squishy hero.

Moreover, since the stopwatch can be obtained for free through talents, it has been weakened again and again. The designers not only reduced the costs that the stopwatch can offset, but also extended the usage time of the stopwatch from six minutes to ten minutes in version 8.4. This is also the main reason why everyone generally gave up the 'Perfect Timing' talent and did not take the free stopwatch.

In other words, ten minutes ago, Akali could threaten Kennen's life at any time.

Kennen reaches level 6 and activates his R skill [Ten Thousand Thunder Prison]?
Useless!

Akali rushed towards Kennen's face, used QE to pull the passive, and then rushed to the face with an A, triggering the double additional damage of [Dragon Seal] and the technological revolver, which took away nearly half of Kennen's health.

When the smoke from W [Twilight Shroud] dissipated, Akali used her Q [Frost Shadow] to shoot out a kunai, and Kiin had to turn around and run away to avoid being killed by Akali by diving over the tower.

R？

Where is the chance to put R?
Again.

What's the point of putting R? Literally R air?

"Player Ye Tian just used a few small skills and sent Kennen back home."

Wang Duoduo looked at this scene and found it very interesting: "With the current attribute gap, Kennen can't stand the pressure from Ye Tian at all, and the other members of the Korean team can't stand it either. I can say without exaggeration that Ye Tian has already formed a rhythm to pass the level in the top lane!"

A 4-0 record does not necessarily mean you can pass the level.

The first blood bonus for four kills is 1,300 gold coins. Combined with the lead in last hits and experience, it can certainly have a crushing effect in the confrontation. But for many heroes, even if the advantage is so great, they must wait for the CD of the ultimate skill if they want to cross the tower. They can't kill the opponent whenever they want.

Akali is one of the few, if not the only, exception.

Even if Akali's ultimate skill hasn't been fully activated, she still has the ability to cross the tower. Once her R skill [Kill Inside and Outside] with a two-minute CD cools down, Kennen will definitely die and won't be able to escape!

"Kiin, find a way to catch it."

"Don't fight him on the road."

Faker reminded in time: "You have DF, you can finish them off by going to the bottom lane. After killing them, destroy the tower directly in the bottom lane and end the laning phase, and don't let Akali continue to snowball."

"I understand, I understand!" Kiin felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Faker's words not only saved Kiin, but also gave the confused Korean team a glimmer of hope for a comeback.

There are two reasons why Akali has a low win rate.

The first and most important one is that the operation difficulty is too high after the rework - the old version of Shadow Fist Akali only needs to rush to the back row, Q and R are both targeted skills, and E is AOE, which highlights a simple and rough style, and anyone with hands can play it. However, the new version of Akali, except for the second stage of E, is non-targeted, which makes players who are used to the old Akali very uncomfortable.

The second is the problem of Akali’s mechanism.

As everyone's proficiency improves, Akali is also known as a hero who "wins the laning phase but not the team battle, and can be the C but not the winner". She is a hero who can most likely gain an advantage during laning phases, but in team battles she will rush around like a headless fly, and there are many cases of her getting more than 20 kills but eventually losing the game.

The reason.

Very simple.

Akali is essentially an assassin hero. Even with the protection of [Twilight Array], she cannot escape the flaws of assassin heroes, such as being fragile, afraid of control, and being killed instantly if she makes a mistake.

Especially when it comes to Akali's equipment, she needs to consider the three items of Hextech Gun, Morellonomicon, and Hourglass: health recovery, healing reduction, and fault tolerance. When she has the three-piece set, the opponent's front row has formed magic resistance, and Akali not only has no penetration, but her magic power is not high enough. In just one node, she goes from being a dad who kills everyone she sees to a grandson who has to avoid the opponent's front row heroes.

Faker is the big devil who reached the peak as soon as he debuted. Even if he is not good at using Akali, he can see the essence of Akali at a glance.

“As expected of Sang Hyuk!”

“Sang Hyuk, this round depends on you!”

Korean coach Edgar held the sweat in his palms and silently cheered for the players on the stage.

soon.

Kiin bought magic penetration shoes and dark seal, converted all his economic resources into combat power, and prepared to fly to the bottom lane to take action.

The first piece of equipment on Ye Tian was also synthesized.

It's a Rocket Belt worth 2500 gold coins.

According to current perception, this piece of equipment is not particularly compatible with Akali. Other people who play Akali all buy a high-tech gun that integrates attack, magic power, lifesucking and active damage. Even though Ye Tian bought the burning gem as a prelude, the fact that he actually synthesized the rocket belt still attracted a lot of discussion.

of course.

There are few questioning voices.

The audience generally believes that there is a reason behind Ye Tian’s special outfit.

I just don't understand.

"don't know."

“I really don’t understand.”

"I don't understand what gifts you guys are giving me."

Zizi spread his hands and denied three things in a row: "Just because I live stream with Tian Ge doesn't mean I can understand Tian Ge's playing style. What's Tian Ge's level? What's my level? I'm also curious about what this push stick means... Hey? Isn't it mocking Bang's cannon-form Poppy in last year's World Championship?"

[It's possible]

[Since the advantage is so great, we'll just kill the opponent like a pig, so it doesn't matter what they come up with.]

[Indeed, Akali's skills consume both AP and AD, and the Tech Gun is better than the Push Stick in any way. Brother Tian must have a Korean mentality]

[Wait for a push stick to kill the push stick]

[Fuck, this is quite amazing]

The barrage was full of joy.

In the game.

The South Korean players didn't think too much about it, but felt fortunate instead.

If Akali builds the tech gun first, even if the Korean team destroys the outer tower in the bottom lane and ends the laning phase, they will still have to bear the pressure from the side lanes.

But if Akali buys the Rocket Belt first, the pressure on the side lane will not be particularly great. Even if Kennen is still unable to compete with Akali, adding a Gragas will definitely help her.

7 minutes 29 seconds.

Bang and CoreJJ sent the minions under the Chinese team's tower, and then returned to control the line. During the process, Bang also actively charged Q [Piercing Arrow] to consume Iboy. There was no flaw between the advance and retreat, and everything was a normal confrontation.

Even if you look from a bird's eye view, if you don't notice the reserved eye spots in the bushes, you won't be able to judge the South Korean team's next move.

7 minutes 50 seconds.

Bang and CoreJJ fought and retreated, maintaining the line of troops in front of their own tower.

"Opportunity, the opportunity has come!"

"It's now!"

"Kill them, kill them!"

An urgent voice was heard in the Korean team's voice channel.

While the policewoman used Q [Peacemaker] to clear the soldiers, Bang pressed down E [Rain of Arrows], moved in a reverse 7-shaped position to twist open the policewoman's [90 Caliber Rope Net], and shot R [Chains of Corruption] at the landing point!

whoosh-

Varus raised his hand and threw out two energy vines, imprisoning the policewoman in place. The imprisonment effect will also spread to nearby heroes. If Thresh throws the lantern to pull away the policewoman, there is a high probability that they will both be controlled for up to two seconds.

At the same time, Kennen's teleportation light effect lights up!
Kiin not only retreated behind the defensive tower, but also used the corner of the wall at the triangle grass position to hide his body. Akali's current position is relatively far away, making it difficult to interrupt.

Little Peanut steered the wine barrel downwards.

Faker even deliberately exposed his flaws to allow Xiye to consume his health, attracting Mala Xiangguo to the vicinity, and using his body to help his teammates create space to score in one fell swoop.

Last time, the Korean bottom lane was trembling in fear when facing four heroes.

This time, the 2v4 matchup became the Chinese team.

It just fits the old saying of the Korean nation - it's rude not to reciprocate!
"Catch?"

"It's a good idea."

Ye Tian switched the screen and glanced at the bottom lane, then walked forward calmly, entered the attack range of the defensive tower, took the beam damage, and inserted the trinket eye through the wall into the bushes.

The vision is illuminated.

Kennen's position was exposed to Ye Tian.

Seeing this, all the members of the Korean team, including Faker, became nervous.

Ye Tian was so decisive in looking for someone on the top of the tower that Kennen's teleport was not completed with about 0.5 seconds left. If Kennen's teleport was interrupted, the Korean team's plan would fail. Even if they could kill the policewoman, they would not be able to achieve the goal of destroying the first blood tower, ending the laning phase, and leaving Akali with nowhere to use her strength.

Until... Akali fired a shuriken.

"Eh?"

"Akali used her E skill?!"

Korean commentator CloudTemplar's eyes lit up: "Tian made a mistake, Tian made a mistake! He could have interrupted Kennen's TP with the first part of his R, and even completed a solo kill, but he used E... Where did his E go?!"

Talking and talking.

CloudTemplar suddenly realized something was wrong.

Normally, when a charge skill loses its target, the hero will stop at the location where the target disappears, but Akali not only came to Kennen's original position, but also passed through one wall and then another in a strange posture, as if she had become Talon who could climb mountains and cross rivers.

Cross the middle road.

Leblanc was using her E [Magic Chains] to hold Ryze, and with the help of Xin Zhao's three fatal shots, she reduced Ryze's health to low.

Akali suddenly fired a row of kunai, killing Ryze.

Unstoppable!

unstoppable!

The kill prompt sounded, but Akali didn't stop at all and continued to roll down. The terrain on the road did not affect Akali's movement.

"what?"

"I rely on?!"

Seeing the dumbfounded attitude, he used his hands to imitate wings and flapped them up and down: "A crow takes a plane? I fly, fly, fly, fly?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Akali flew the last distance and came to Kennen's side.

At this moment, Kennen used ER flash to kill the policewoman, and the violent and disordered Thunder field around him dissipated, and he was swept by Thresh's hook + E combo onto the clamp placed by the policewoman before she fell.

Ye Tian’s second stage E [Falcon Dance] kicked and hit.

A【Hidden Dragon Seal】.

Q [Cold Shadow], which has cooled down on the flight path, shoots out a kunai, activates the passive skill, and strikes Kennen again!

Kennen has no defensive attributes, and he first took the damage from Caitlyn's counterattack and Thresh's skills. Facing Akali with a rocket belt and ten layers of dark seal, he couldn't even withstand half of her skills.

behind.

Varusbron fled in a hurry.

It's not that Bang and CoreJJ didn't want to help, but in the previous round of team battle when the tower was dived, Bang had already used up both of his skills. Staying here could neither provide protection for Kennen nor replace Akali who had [Twilight Array]. Forcing the battle would only result in greater losses.

The issue is.

Can you run away?

joke!

Ye Tian approached step by step, and when Varus retreated to the protection of the defense tower and his vigilance was slightly lowered, he suddenly rushed out!

E【Falcon Dance】!
flash!

This time the flash was in the direction of the front and side, which not only shortened the distance, but also avoided the straight line between Braum and Varus, making it impossible for Braum to intercept with his body.

One hit, second E forward!

Bang did not panic at this time, thinking that his health was sufficient, and Braum could also provide a certain degree of protection, so he would not be killed by Akali...? !

The thought just arises.

Bang's eyes went dark.

It's not a physical discomfort.

The colorful screen suddenly turned black and white!
【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

【? ? ? ? 】

【what happened? 】

【what? 】

[Holy crap? How is this connected? How many stages of displacement?!]

Bang didn't understand, so the audience was naturally even more confused.

In just a blink of an eye, Akali flew back and forth on Varus four times, and Varus's almost full health bar was emptied in one move. The defense tower only locked on him once in the process, and Akali disappeared into the [Twilight Array]!
Braum was holding up his ice shield, not knowing what to do. His huge body looked so weak and helpless. Gragas came late and threw out his [Explosive Gragas], which blew up everything... (End of this chapter)
