League of Legends: Reborn in Season 3, Tuning the Entire League

Chapter 113 A Cruel Capture and the Blood Bar Vanishing Technique!

"Oh dear, did Annie get away?"

Wawa's words were full of regret, clearly favoring WE: "In that case, they've suffered a huge loss. The mid-lane Diana died, the top lane was ganked, and all NXG gave up was their bot lane's Flash."

The Lee Sin flanked and attacked the bottom lane. Xu Jing didn't hesitate at all when retreating. He controlled the Corki to use Flash immediately. He was planning to use Flash and sacrifice the support to ensure safety. After all, with the top and mid lanes both doing well, it was normal for the bottom lane to suffer some losses. In the end, who would have thought that Annie would also survive? That was a pure surprise.

"Actually, WE did a good enough job. Curly's Flash Hook forced Corki to Flash, and Lee Sin immediately used his ward to kick Annie back." Xiaomi remained neutral. "It can only be said that Door remained calm under pressure, holding onto his stun until he was kicked into the crowd before using it to control Smile and Curly."

Of course, Mingkai's kick was also crucial.

Is that good enough?

What's the use of doing well?

In the audience, many players holding up WE support banners were secretly cursing.
"There are plenty of people who do a good job of the process, but if the result cannot be changed, who will care what you did in the middle?"

The problem now is that both lanes have collapsed, and Mingkai's efforts in the bottom lane have not yielded any substantial results. What should be done next to deal with NXG's attack?

Needless to say, the mid-lane Diana was terrible at last-hitting and was even tower-dived and killed, so she was no longer a reliable option.

The top lane Jax is on the verge of collapse. He was forced back to base by Elise's Flash at level 3, and then suffered a brutal kill at level 6. He missed out on a large wave of minions under the tower, and his level is almost two levels behind Renekton. It will be at least 25 minutes before Strawberry can make any impact.

"I'm going to the mid lane to help stabilize the wave."

"Smile, go back after you finish your lane. Those guys from NXG like to play with positional advantage, so don't get caught out."

Curly knew he couldn't delay any longer. If they didn't go mid now, LeBlanc would come looking for trouble in their bot lane or top lane.

Between two evils, choose the lesser. With NXG's bot lane forced to recall, EZ can safely farm the lane and has an opportunity to roam.

Ruofeng, who had just respawned from the fountain, didn't dare to be stubborn. He silently reported the skills his opponent had used: "LeBlanc didn't ignite, Flash... both his and my Flash are still available."

WE's four players: Six!

On the other side, after ganking the top lane, Shi Zhenyu looked at the bottom lane and found that the robot had missed. He offered, "Ming-ge, let me help you counter-gank."

"No need, Stone, go back to base to replenish your supplies and get your Sorcerer's Shoes first. Then go to the bottom lane and help Annie gank Ezreal." Jiang Ming shook his head slightly. "Let Blitzcrank come if he wants. We can kill him and take the dragon."

"Hehe, don't worry, I'll be with Brother Ming. The robots will die if they come." Song Yuan, who was a little behind Yao Ji when they left, chuckled.

Controlling the crocodile to emerge from the fountain, Song Yuan, seeing that the top lane minion wave was still in a good position, did not rush back to his lane.

Who says only junglers can gank? Sometimes top laners can go around halfway to the mid lane to help their carry tank some damage, which is perfectly reasonable.

"You didn't dodge, you entered the fray later, I'll lure them in."

Jiang Ming glanced at the useless big stick in his pocket, calculating in his mind how to use a combo to keep both WE's jungler and support alive.

He's still short a huge amount of money for his Hellfire Embrace.

The Enchantress is not suitable to be the Holy Grail, the artifact coveted by countless mages. As an assassin, she is extremely fragile and needs the ultimate offensive attributes. The little bit of magic resistance provided by the Lesser Holy Grail is actually a burden.

More moderate LeBlanc players would likely prioritize Morellonomicon, which Riot has been consistently buffing. However, Jiang Ming clearly doesn't belong to that type of player. Besides, in this version of Season 3, what other item can compare to the burst damage that Deathfire Grasp provides to mage assassins?

The robot's arrival in the mid lane is perfect. If Diana doesn't have teammates around and just mindlessly turts under the tower, it will take him a lot of effort to get a kill.

With the support of his assistant now, Ruofeng should have some courage to farm minions and gain experience.

Half a minute into the game, disaster struck both the mid and bottom lanes simultaneously;
In the bottom lane, after the Blitzcrank left, it became a 1v1 situation with the Corki. Confident in his personal skills and with a health advantage, he swept away the previous defeat of being pressed under the tower by Corki and Annie, and kept using Q to whittle down Corki's health while last-hitting minions.

However, giving up on last-hitting minions with Q also delayed the minion wave, which should have been cleared quickly, for quite some time.

Looking at the minimap, he saw that the robot was approaching the mid lane, and Smile, who was about to recall, fell into his old habit again.

After controlling the hero to kill the last minion, he was greedy for time and did not take a few more steps. Instead, he turned around, hid in the bushes, and stood still to recall to base.

Xu Jing, who had just reached level six, was only making a routine attempt. Who knew that the missile he fired would actually blast an EZ out of the bushes?

"Holy crap, Stone, hurry, hurry, come quick!"

"I interrupted his return to the city and just crossed over, just crossed over."

With Sorcerer's Shoes on Elise and Boots of Mobility on Annie, the two, one in front and one behind, moved like lightning from the jungle all the way to the back of the purple team's turret.

By sheer coincidence, the robot and I were both exposed to each other's field of vision at the same time.

This really put the director in a bind, as he couldn't decide whether to show the camera at the bottom or the center.

The interrupted recall made Smile realize the danger, and he tried to retreat behind his own tower, but he was too late.

The Spider, who still had Summoner Spells active, suddenly emerged from the tri-bush and used Flash + E to hit EZ.

How high is the burst damage of Spider and Annie in the early game?
After a full combo of skills, before even the enemy's basic attacks and skills could land, EZ was left with only a third of his health.

With the three of them working together, there was no chance of Wei Xiao escaping.

"what!!"

"The Spider decisively used Flash + E, and due to the lack of vision, Smile couldn't dodge. Annie, with the boost from Boots of Mobility, arrived at the tower and followed up with a stun. NXG's Corki was dealing massive damage..."

"Can we run?"

"Wow, NXG's three players coordinated their skills perfectly, and EZ was completely controlled to death."

NXG-sorry has killed WE-weixiao!

As for the mid lane, a perfectly normal wave of minions pushed into the tower, and a full-health Diana stood under the tower.

Only after the robot walked up to him did Ruofeng dare to step forward and attack the minions. He had been cautious enough, hadn't he?
However, the Demoness acted as if she didn't see the robot's presence, and recklessly pressed [Ghostly Shadow], which was a rude and offensive move.

W！

Q connects to E!

All three skills hit, and Diana's health bar collapsed like an avalanche.

However, just as the minions were killed, Ruofeng finally reached level six.

Now, the two who originally just wanted to hold their ground suddenly became murderous.

"Fuck him!"

"No displacement!"

He used all his skills!

Curly-haired accelerated and charged straight towards the location of LeBlanc's W mark. Ruofeng, who could no longer bear it, reached the limit with his hand speed at this moment, using Q and R at the same time!

hum!
To ensure the robot could successfully knock the opponent away, even knowing that LeBlanc's third skill was a chain and that she couldn't use her ultimate to copy W to escape, Ruofeng still used his E skill first.

The pale power of the full moon stirred up a wave, and the sorceress was helplessly pulled back a little distance by the bright moon, her expression a mix of coquettishness and...mockery!
Appearances can be deceiving.

Hey!
The crisp sound of the magical chains binding echoed in my ears.

Immediately afterwards, a second chain was released from the Black Rose Commander's hand and precisely looped around the robot's head.

"Piltover's Hextech creations?"

"You are mine now!"

Just as Ruofeng used his E skill to pull LeBlanc, and Curly's Blitzcrank was about to get close to the target, before the two could even feel a moment of joy, a prehistoric giant crocodile suddenly sprang out from the bushes.

"Ha ha!"

"Everyone must die."

[Charging] [Straight]

Ruthless Hunting

[The Tyrant Strikes!]

With two E's, Song Yuan unleashed all his skills on Diana without thinking about getting kills.

Just as he was about to hand over the head, he heard someone say, "You can have Jiaoyue's head."

Jiang Ming followed up with a basic attack, then moved forward to close the distance with the robot, while also moving away from Diana, who still had Flash available.

Not to mention that the top laner came from afar to help him counter-gank, he should give him a kill out of courtesy and reason. Even considering that Diana still has Flash available, he also has to be wary of Ruofeng stubbornly trying to trade kills with him.

The chain's slowing effect, combined with the robot's own W's double slowing effect, made it impossible for the robot to move an inch. Curly Hair looked grim in front of the computer.

No matter how much we planned, we never expected NXG's Crocodile to show up here at this time to act as a dog in the mid lane.

As a dog?

Song Yuan: I don't like hearing that. If you come to the mid lane to counter-gank, will Ming-ge lose me more gold or more kills?

The more fed the mid laner is, the safer it will be for me to split push later. Don't you understand what the theory of relativity in the Rift means?

Song Yuan didn't hesitate. Facing the Moon Goddess who was stuck in place after her QR combo ended, he took her down with a single basic attack.

flash……

Still couldn't hand it over!

Xiaomi: "With two chains working from both sides, the constant crowd control on Diana leaves her standing still. JM's goal from the start was to keep both WE's mid and support alive."

"The machine used its E skill to hit LeBlanc, but Curly's Flash was used up in the last gank on Annie, so he—can't escape!" Wawa yelled.

NXG-norsha killed WE-Misaya
NXG-Jm killed WE-FZZF
The kill notifications came one after the other, so neither of them needed to use Flash. The robot, who had entered the fray first, was then caught by LeBlanc's chains, leaving him with only one fate: to go back to the fountain for a bath.

Jiang Ming didn't hold back on the second kill. The crocodile needed a good economy to suppress the Jax in the side lane, and he certainly needed to do the same. Getting Deathfire Grasp as soon as possible would be a significant boost to LeBlanc's strength.

After giving the crocodile an assist, wait for the second Q to cool down, and then pocket the 300 gold from the robot.

"Hey Ming, why is WE only having their support? I thought they would come to gank you together with their jungler and support."

With two against one, Song Yuan had absolute confidence in his Ming Ge and believed he could make a fool of the other side.

He controlled the crocodile to the center because he considered that the opponent would arrange a three-on-one attack to target him.

As a result, Mingkai was never seen from beginning to end.

(A Lee Sin player who strictly followed the coach's tactical instructions and camped the Renekton in the top lane, hoping to protect the Jax's farm, but ended up with nothing, silently gave a thumbs up.)
quiet!
Deathly silence.

On the WE players' bench, Curly sighed deeply, while Ruofeng stared at the black and white screen and slumped down uncontrollably.

I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but it seems like he’s gone back to 2010, to the time when he used his ultimate on a minion instead of Shadow Fiend.

After two years of Dota's retirement, is it finally LoL's turn?

【Outrageous! 】

[The coordinated attack by the mid and support players resulted in one death and one free kill; it was truly spectacular.]

The mid lane has become a death trap; whoever comes is doomed.

Honestly, I didn't expect the crocodile to come to mid lane to support instead of going top.

[JM: That's the charm of minion waves (hands on hips). What's the rush when Jax hasn't even pushed the wave to his own tower yet?]

【Seriously, Ruochu, are you saving that Flash for the New Year?】

[A family heirloom flash, hahaha.] [Wait, why don't you guys say JM's flash is useless too?]

[Ruofeng: Enough, enough! Stop cursing! I'm not worthy of JM using his full power.]

Ah, it's that classic "waiting for a smile to develop" moment again. Why do I feel like smiling so much?

[Hey bro, laugh if you want, because WE's bot lane also fell behind this game, putting them at a disadvantage across the board.]

Wait a minute, it looked like there was a mid-support synergy in the mid lane just now, where's WE's jungler?

[Ming Kai is a useless piece of trash; he should have been arrested but wasn't, and he failed to protect those he should have protected.]

……

In less than ten minutes, all four players except the jungler were killed.

NXG successfully tower dived, and Xiaolong naturally wouldn't let it go either.

With a team of five players and zero points, their economic disadvantage is self-evident.

However, many WE fans are good at comforting themselves, saying, "It's okay, Smile only died once, his last-hitting didn't matter."

[Yes, yes, yes, with Trinity Force and Manamune, Ezreal reaches his power spike super fast and deals high damage in the mid-game.]

[The left side is full of short-armed enemies; as long as WeiXiao can farm up, team fights will be like kiting dogs.]

Many casual gamers nearly burst out laughing at the above comments.

Do you guys want to think back to who invented the Trinity Force Manamune build for Ezreal?
Did JM actually consider the issue of short-ranged lineups?

What happened in the subsequent match proved the accuracy of the casual players' views. Many people did not expect WE to be beaten so badly that many fans who removed their biases against WE today called it a nightmare.

……

Eleven minutes later, with two kills and 104 hits, Jiang Ming pulled out his first completed item.

After re-entering the game, Jiang Ming, now possessing the Embrace of the Netherfire, became utterly unreasonable.

Diana stayed under the tower and didn't come out. The jungler Elise helped by placing a ward on the F4 camp and spotted Clearlove's Lee Sin.

The problem is not big.

LeBlanc bypassed the minion wave, using her W ability in mid-air to chain together her Deathfire Touch, Q, and R abilities, and finally finished off with an extended E.

laugh!
The fully healed Moon was reduced to a mere sliver of health in an instant.

boom!
Startled by the Enchantress, Ruofeng quickly pressed W and used Flash at the same time.

"Oh my God!"

"What kind of damage is this? With a two-level difference, is it really that exaggerated?" Doll felt a chill run down her spine. "Diana still has a Negative Energy Cloak on her, and she was almost instantly killed from full health?"

"I can only say that Jm's E skill was too accurate. The QRE combo could trigger the explosion damage of the mark twice, not to mention the damage amplification from the Deathfire Grasp beforehand." Xiaomi explained, noticing that the Deathfire Grasp was already on cooldown in LeBlanc's item bar.

【! ! ! 】

What kind of hand speed is that?!

[Shouldn't LeBlanc have just pressed W? Why did Diana's health bar disappear so quickly?]

Wow, you can't develop that kind of hand speed without being single for twenty years.

[Speaking of which, is JM so strong because he's never been in a relationship?]

[Ruofeng is seriously cracking me up; he was so scared he had to use Flash!]

Good news, he survived this time even after using Flash!
The bad news is that you probably won't die even if you don't use Flash.

"The damage is alright."

After briefly testing the damage of the Netherfire, Jiang Ming chatted casually with his teammates.

"Haha...it's not bad."

Xu Jing swallowed hard. You call this damage "not bad"?

Diana with Negatron Cloak + W was almost instantly killed even at full health. If this happened to an AD carry, wouldn't they die on the spot?
Jiang Ming wasn't in a hurry to cause trouble for Xiao Wei in the bottom lane.

Firstly, Mingkai's Lee Sin is always watching.

Secondly...

One of today's tactics is to position Strawberry's top lane as far as possible towards feeding.

Although he felt a little bad for Strawberry, who had a good personality, he didn't have much time to train Strawberry further into a top-notch blue-collar worker because it involved the All-Star team selection. He could only change his approach and prioritize targeting Strawberry.

If Feng Jiaoyue had only a sliver of health left, no matter how unwilling he was, he had to go home first.

With the mid laner frequently forced to retreat, the difference between killing him and not killing him is minimal.

"Let's concede the second dragon and then gank the top lane."

Jiang Ming quickly marked the map, "After the bottom lane finishes this wave, Pang Ran and Xiao Xu will come to the mid lane to farm. I'll switch to the bottom lane later."

"Okay!"

"Make sure to complete the mission."

Pang Ran and Xu Jing replied quickly in the voice message.

NXG's most powerful weapons are its exceptional discipline and the advantage it gains in switching lanes based on its judgment of the situation.

A leading mindset is difficult to express simply through actions or words, but you only need to know that they have an absolute lead in terms of rhythm and change.

"Ah, here we go again!"

"After pushing the mid lane, LeBlanc disappeared from sight. Mingkai's judgment was to gank bot lane, and Smile and Curly quickly retreated."

"The problem is that the judgment was wrong!" the doll wailed.

Xiaomi said, "It's no wonder WE guessed wrong. JM's bot lane duo were rushing to clear the wave and dive the tower. The AD even deliberately misjudged the skill to let Annie use her Q to stun the cannon minion. The two brothers' acting skills are like they came back from Oscar training..."

The jungler guessed the wrong position, leaving Strawberry alone in the top lane with only the turret to rely on.

However, it's clear that when facing a Zoo-style team plus LeBlanc, the reliability of the turret isn't much higher than that of several teammates.

The crocodile uses its ultimate to build up rage, the spider initiates by tanking the tower, and whether the cocoon hits or not is irrelevant, as the three of them deal more than enough damage.

NXG—norsha killed WE—caomei!

At this crucial moment, Jiang Ming and Shi Tou both pressed S and gave the kill to Crocodile.

I heard the kill notification from the top lane.

"The wind is so tight!"

Xu Jing and his companion exchanged a glance, then pushed their troops aside and ran off without even glancing at Xiao Long.

Sigh, the mid laner is responsible for carrying the whole game, and he even leaves the minions for me. Where can you find a leader like that?

"Alright, from now on, Xiao Song, you can just play with the weapons in peace."

“Absolutely, watch my performance.” Song Yuan laughed heartily, “I haven’t tried the Highland Dragon yet.”

If a crocodile with a score of 2 bars, 0 bars, and 1 bar can reconnect to the game by fighting a weapon that is 2.5 levels lower, then Song Yuan can just rush into the factory.

The top lane tower was destroyed and not kept. Season 3 was different from later seasons. There were not many resources to control, and the towers were a major source of income for the team.

Moreover, with less jungle economy, Elise can spend more time taking care of Renekton.

"I'm going down. Pang Ran and Xiao Xu, you two stay in the middle lane without worry."

One spider wasn't enough, so Jiang Ming arranged for Song Yuan to have Annie with five speed boots.

Now let's talk about the mid lane.

"call……"

Ruofeng exhaled a heavy breath of stale air.

For some reason, seeing the double path appear before him gave him a strange sense of relief.

It's like an instinctive preference to face Annie rather than LeBlanc in lane.

"You guys have to help me, I can't lane against the crocodile anymore."

Seeing the crocodile in front of him that could easily take away more than half of his health with just two skills, Strawberry, who had just revived, asked for help in the voice chat.

He knew very well that now was not the time to show off. Without his teammates' help, the crocodile might just move his grave to higher ground and dance on it.

"How about we move the bot lane to the mid lane?" Mingkai asked the bot lane duo for their opinion.

For a jungler and support to roam together, one prerequisite is that the two players are positioned in the mid lane, and the AD clears the wave quickly to free up the support.

Curly didn't say anything, but looked at the smiling man.

Smiling hesitated for a moment, just about to agree, when Ruofeng quickly spoke up, "I'll farm in the mid lane first, I still can't withstand the pressure from LeBlanc in the bottom lane..."

"Alright, Smile, you have long reach, just retreat after clearing the minions. The enemy's attention is on the top lane." Curly Hair came out of the fountain, also bought a pair of Boots of Speed, and parted ways with the AD.

"Oh, we see that WE has also made adjustments to deal with NXG's offensive, which is very smart. It's better for Diana to stay in the mid lane and withstand pressure than to switch to the bot lane to lane against LeBlanc. Curly and Lee Sin are going to the top lane. Hmm... they really need to help relieve the pressure on Jax. Ergangling's Renekton can't hold on at all. If we let Weixiao's Ezreal farm alone in the bot lane, with E and Flash, it will be very difficult for LeBlanc..."

Wawa started talking big, discussing all sorts of advantages EZ had over LeBlanc when switching to the bot lane, as if NXG didn't have the advantage right now, and LeBlanc's item wasn't Deathfire Grasp, but a fire stick.

"Next, I'm going to demonstrate how to make their health bars disappear!"

Upon seeing WE's lane split, Jiang Ming revealed an incredibly bright smile.

It seems that at this time, Smile had not yet experienced the baptism of the assassin army, let alone possessed the common sense that almost every AD player in later generations had.

An ADC appeared alone in front of a LeBlanc with a 2-0 score. Who gave you the guts? Did you have a full health bar?

The game lasts for thirteen minutes.

The scene, which was originally fixed on the upper half of the court watching the three players, Ueno, and Sakazuki, pulling at each other, suddenly shifted.

NXG-Jm has killed WE-weixiao!

Even with the director's hand speed at its maximum, it was still half a beat too slow.

When the camera focused on the purple team's bottom lane, a Explorer's corpse was seen lying quietly under the first tower.

Outside the tower, there was the Trickster, whose health had been taken away by the tower's laser, yet seemed to have been unharmed.

The kill announcement echoed throughout Summoner's Rift—Killing Spree!

"what!"

"what!"

"Smile got instantly killed under the tower?"

　12,000 words updated! (But take a beating for me, I was supposed to finish WE's game today and write the big plot for the All-Star pre-match hype, but a fellow reader in the group gave me a great suggestion today, which I adopted. If we don't win over a lot of fans in the game, how can we suppress the 60E power in the All-Star vote?)
