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

Chapter 126 Lightning-Fast Q&A vs. Offline Real-Person PK?

Lightning-fast QA, a skill that all Riven players in later generations will inevitably master.

Speaking of Versailles, after having a training mode for over a decade, the lightning-fast QA combo is a basic skill for every Riven player. This is because it essentially involves using the Q skill to tap the ground to cancel the auto-attack's animation, and then following up with a second Q, also using the ground tap to cancel the Q's animation.

Each of Riven's three Qs adds extra damage to her basic attacks. Once you're familiar with Riven's QA combo, you can unleash an incredibly powerful burst of damage in a very short time.

It was after this technique was developed that this veteran hero, who had been available on the Chinese server since 11, finally escaped his fate of being benched in the top lane, and even when he did appear, he was always built as a semi-tank and played as a "noob".

However, Jiang Ming needs to demonstrate Rui Mengmeng's true charm to her first.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ming, who was heading to the lane with the red potion, didn't hold back and started using his Q skill as soon as he got to the tower.

By leveling up Riven to the third Q, you can have three stacks of passive while also ensuring that you can get the cooldown of your second Q skill as quickly as possible.

"Hey, why is JM controlling Riven to keep casting Q under the tower?"

The camera followed the heroes, and as the LPL team, Wawa and his teammates certainly wouldn't focus their attention primarily on the North American players.

Joker immediately noticed the unusual situation on the field, "and JM's item build is a very aggressive choice, like the big red potion, he's aiming for a solo kill."

"Although Nunu's damage isn't high, Riven's slow damage output makes it difficult for him to stay in lane and outlast the opponent. Wouldn't it be better for him to rely on Cloth Armor and five Health Potions, along with strong fundamentals, to get 100 CS and win?"

[Joker, shut up! One hundred dollars, are you sure the host country wants to accept such an ugly victory?]

[Big Red Pill, don't be a coward, just go for it! We'll support you even if you lose.]

[The opposing team is full of old silver coins; they don't dare to go all out against us JM. What kind of crap is it to pick Nunu?]

[Well, here comes the attempt to flatter to death.]

[These people, one by one, it's okay if JM loses now, but wait until they actually lose and see how they criticize us.]

Fortunately, within the game, Jiang Ming didn't let the doubts of the commentators and players linger for too long.

After unleashing two Qs, Riven strode out to the mid-line to meet Nunu.

Perhaps confident in her large mana potion and the powerful healing from Nunu's Q skill, Scarra continued forward, trying to bait out Riven's health.

After all, even if his health is reduced to level 1, he can recover by eating a minion.
In contrast, Raven has no way to respond.

"Big red potion, with my weakness and barrier on me, you think you can kill me instantly?" Scarra smiled wickedly in the video.

laugh!
On the screen, the hero suddenly leaps high into the air, waking Scarra from her thoughts of how to celebrate their post-match victory.

"what?"

"You knocked me up directly, and you used both Qs. What makes you think you can fight me?"

Obviously, as a pure mid-lane player, and with Riven being an extremely unpopular top-lane champion, Scarra wouldn't have known the trick of using Riven's Q at level 1 without the overwhelming influence of short videos in later generations.

Scarra, still hoping to land a few more auto-attacks with Riven and then use her Q skill to sustain herself and whittle down Riven's health to win, was unaware that death was already imminent.

"drink!"

At this moment, Rui Mengmeng was still diligently attacking with basic attacks, looking innocent and adorable.

Scarra frowned slightly, watching Nunu's health bar drop in the game. "Is Riven's basic attack damage really that high?"

You are dead!
Jiang Ming's eyes were cold. He just wanted to send Nunu back to the fountain as soon as possible to enter the next game, given Nunu's disrespectful behavior of going out with a big blue potion and still attacking him at level one.

With Cloth Armor, you might be able to reach level 2, but right now, without health or armor, letting you see the minion wave is somewhat of an insult to Riven with her large health potion.

In the bottom left corner, with his skill cooldown about to expire, Jiang Ming quickly tapped the number keys to consume a large red potion, simultaneously increasing his hero's health and attack power.

"I've awakened!"

call!
The ignited flames suddenly began to burn above the hero's head.

"Are you crazy, buddy?"

Scarra stared blankly at Raven's act of casting Ignite on herself at level one.

"Alright, if you replace Ignite with Light Shield, your last burst damage option is gone..."

Scarra simultaneously cast a light shield, pondering before immediately casting Weakness.

However, his choice to unleash a light shield instead of weakening himself led him straight into the abyss.

After the broken sword landed its first auto-attack, the warrior in front of Nunu seemed to become a different person. The sword flashed and left afterimages. Every part of Riven's Q skill landed precisely on the opponent's body. Often, the previous auto-attack was still in front of him when the next Q skill followed.

The aftercast delays of skills and basic attacks cancel each other out in this wonderful rhythm.

What? You're asking if the audience saw it?

Viewers at the scene and in the live stream only saw a Nunu with half health left, whose health bar was drained by the rapid-fire skill sound effects.

The next moment, Raven sheathed her sword;

First blood!

CNLPL-JM has eliminated LCS.NA-Scarra!

Until the system's female voice announced the kill, a crimson banner was raised above Summoner's Rift.

The three commentators, who had been stunned, finally came to their senses.

"what?"

"What! What?!"

"What we saw was that in the first match of the individual skills competition, JM actually killed his opponent before the level 1 minions had even fully spawned."

"Firstblood!"

"First blood! Congratulations to JM for winning the first game of the solo match!"

boom!
The audience below the stage instantly turned into a boiling sea, accompanied by the baby's deafening roar.

Gasps of surprise echoed from the players' lounge backstage. Dyrus, who had just been joking with his senior teammate, believing that his teammates would surely win the first solo match, dropped his snacks on the floor without realizing it.

【! ! ! 】

No, I saw something.

[Oh my god, did a level 1 Riven kill Nunu with a barrier?]

[Didn't you just use Q? Riven's skills are back up so fast?]

I've played Riven, and I remember that Riven's Q skill's calculation starts from the very first cast...

[No, no, the Q skill's cooldown speed isn't the key issue. Can someone explain how Riven's damage works? How did Nunu lose half his health?]

[Weakness, why isn't anyone submitting their weak points?]

[Referee, I'm reporting you! Someone's fixing the match!]

[(Laughing and crying) When we were selecting the players, I had a feeling that JM might come up with some new and interesting ideas, and sure enough, it turned out to be true.]

[Level 1, third stage Q... Big Red Potion... QA...]

In the live stream, some players who mainly play top lane seemed to have grasped something key, but they lacked a bit of inspiration and couldn't figure it out.

Regardless of the reactions of the commentators and viewers, the esports editors who had been waiting in front of the live stream for the results of the first solo match were all beaming with joy.

There's content to write about, and it's the kind that's really explosive!

He tossed aside his half-prepared articles about JM's mishap, his careless defeat, and the e-sports national football team's opening loss, and frantically started typing. #AllStarSkillsContestRound1, JM pulls off an amazing move!#
#Level 1 solo kill: skill or bug?#
#Another surprise from the esports expert: A long-time benched top laner gets a new lease on life?#
#The methods are extremely cruel; JM did this to prevent North American players from getting minions!#
On the stage, the purple team's seats are located on the left.

Scarra stared at her black and white screen for a long time, unable to come back to her senses.

When he opened the damage statistics page and saw Riven's exaggerated skill and basic attack damage, he seemed to understand something.

"QA..."

How did the opponent manage to land three Qs and a basic attack in such a short time? Damn, this is even more confusing!
Scarra rubbed her hair vigorously a couple of times. She was killed before even reaching the level 1 minion wave, and in the end, she didn't even get to use Exhaust.

However, since the match was not over yet, he couldn't run to the other side to ask how they used their techniques, so he had to keep his doubts to himself.

Let's play the second round!
……

ten minutes later!

Scarra sat quietly in his gaming chair, watching his War King die under the tower, and fell into a state of existential doubt.

Lost again!
All the bold words spoken before the match turned into boomerangs the moment the opponent defeated them 2-0, each one piercing their heads.

Are all the opponents trash?

No, I'm the trash.

A BO3 solo match, at most, takes no more than twenty minutes, and that includes the time for drafting and waiting for adjustments.

In the second game, he didn't get killed at level one. Relying on the Cloth Armor, three red health potions, and two blue health potions build, he managed to reach level six.

Yeah, I made it to level six.

He tried a level 3 run and finally figured out JM's strategy thanks to Pantheon's passive being shattered at zero frames.

QA!

The extremely fast QA combo, and then using some unknown technique, canceled all of Riven's intimidating attack and skill animations, thus creating an incomprehensible burst of damage.

He actually died at level four in this game, but he wasn't buried until level six.

After being tricked into using Weakness at level four, Riven farmed minions all the way to level six. In effect, the War King, who was missing his ultimate ability, could only wait for his death under the tower.

"Fuck, this isn't scientific!"

Scarra roared as she tried to convince herself to accept the outcome, only to find that she still couldn't accept it.

Why is your QA so much faster than others? Why are you able to dodge Riven's obvious ultimate animation? Why did I get instantly killed under the tower without even moving?!
"Two to zero!"

"JM won cleanly and decisively in the first round of the individual skills competition."

"Let's congratulate player JM."

The narrator finished his congratulatory remarks.

No one cared about Scarra's feelings at that moment; the Shanghai Grand Stage was now a sea of ​​joy.

Countless fans who came to watch the game shouted at the top of their lungs.

"Cool!"

"Two to zero is awesome!"

"Hurry up, go back and work overtime after today's match. I need to know Riven's new moves."

"JM, you slut, all you know how to do is seduce me with this kind of stuff."

"Level 6 instant kill, that was absolutely awesome! I declare that from today onwards, Riven is my main champion."

"Dude, I remember when JM first picked it, didn't you say it was a trash hero?"

"..."

Jiang Ming took off his headphones and listened to the noisy cheers of the players in the arena. The corners of his mouth turned up higher and higher.

Spotlight!

No wonder some people say that you can only understand the beauty of it when you stand in that position and enjoy the applause and cheers of thousands of people.

It is a unique sense of accomplishment that surpasses countless material and even mental stimuli for humans.

"Win!"

He didn't forget to make a victory sign at the camera, sharing his joy with fans outside the venue.

Two seconds later, Jiang Ming stopped what he was doing, glanced at his opponent who was still sitting in the chair, and suddenly remembered something and walked towards the stage on the left.

Clearly, Jiang Ming's actions also caught the attention of the on-site commentators.

"Hey, we saw JM leave his seat and walk towards Scarra in the North American (NA) region," Wawa said in surprise.

【JM, what are you doing?!】

[What, not satisfied with the online solo tournament? Planning to have another one offline? (doge)]

The director's spotlight followed the young man's steps, drawing the attention of the entire audience, as Jiang Ming arrived at Scarra's gaming chair.

He clenched his right fist and swung it out as if preparing for a real fight, shouting, "Good Game!"

Jiang Ming was certainly not there to fight his opponent. Since it was a sporting event, how could the post-match handshake be missing?

Since we've decided to showcase the positive sporting attributes of esports to the authorities and the general public, we must do our best.

Good game?

Scarra paused for a moment, then, upon hearing the words Jiang Ming uttered and seeing the other man's outstretched right hand, he suddenly understood.

He stood up with a somewhat complicated expression, extended his right fist, and lightly touched it with the other person's.

This scene was faithfully captured by the director and broadcast simultaneously on major platforms such as TGA and TV5.

Wow!

Is this what makes me, Jiang Shen, so great?

Victory is not just about mockery; extending a helping hand to the loser is also a manifestation of sportsmanship.

[Hey haters, who just said that esports matches are supposed to be played online and then offline?!]

Jiang Ming's final action clearly reignited the discussion, proving with his actions that esports is not just empty talk, but a testament to the fact that it is the Olympics for young people.

To equate young people who love games with low moral character and label them is no different from mistaking the starry sky for a dark place.

Many leaders who came to witness the e-sports all-star event, sitting in the first row directly in front of the stage, smiled with great satisfaction upon seeing this scene.

That's right, the key to esports is competition.

If we emphasize competition, we cannot lose sight of sportsmanship. Friendship first, competition second. Regardless of what the athletes think, as the organizers, we must at least embody this spirit.

"Old Yu, you've done a good job teaching Xiao Jiang."

In the VIP seats, a gray-haired leader turned to the group and said, "His individual competitive skills are on point, and he also has a heart that respects his opponents."

"You are too kind!"

　A level 1 Nunu solo kill is technically feasible (I've already verified it with that five-minute guy), but normally even professional players wouldn't be that reckless. Old Qing has exaggerated the description a bit.
