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

Chapter 144 Anyway, it's 2-0, I can play too! (Seeking monthly votes)
"Oh my god, he can't move! Annie's head lock made him dizzy first, then the spider's cocoon, and finally the policewoman placed the trap at the right spot. Shy couldn't move at all from beginning to end."

As the first blood was reported, two cries of agony were aptly added to the OGN commentary booth.

Jayce, who was only level 1 after four minutes, was undoubtedly doomed.

Dying once isn't a big deal, but what's truly deadly is that top laners in Season 3 commonly take Ignite. If minions get killed under the tower, the lost experience is the most critical issue.

"I'm going to the bottom lane to protect Zac."

"Okay, I'll clear Lee Sin's top jungle and then stop him again."

In response to Jayce's strategy, the LPL team naturally devised more than one move; to be precise, it was a series of interconnected "wild boar combos."

However, the audience's attention did not linger on the top lane for long, and even unusually, they did not pay much attention to Jiang Ming's matchup against Twisted Fate. After Jayce died, they quickly turned their attention to the bottom lane.

LPL players have already shut down your Jayce, so your OGN bot lane and jungle can't just stand by and do nothing about Zac.

"MadLife's hook was very accurate. He used his Q skill to pull PDD under the tower, and with Varus's damage, he did a good job of poking. Lee Sin also came over, trying to do the same thing to the LPL top laner and tower dive at the same time."

"But the problem is that Zac is already level 2. The two minions he killed earlier were crucial. At level 2, Zac used his Q and E skills to directly avoid Lee Sin's first gank."

"The three OGN players wanted to try one more time. They triggered the passive, but could they auto-attack it? No, they couldn't. Varus, including the AD carry, had already taken two hits from the turret and couldn't withstand it..."

"My God... I suddenly realized that JM's Zac pick was great."

Miller exclaimed in admiration, "Even if you get tower-dived early on, with your passive ability active, you can at least trade one kill."

"Annie's here!"

After securing the first kill on the top lane and tanking the tower, Pang Ran didn't even glance at the subsequent sniping of Jayce. Relying on assists and the gold he deliberately saved by forgoing buying a control ward and a few health and mana potions at level one, he had just enough for boots and sprinted all the way to the bottom lane.

"Hehe, don't run away if you've got the guts!"

PDD, who had regrouped under the tower, couldn't stop laughing as he watched the OGN members being forced to use three Flashes by Annie's W.

"Honestly, a bunch of cowards. Annie didn't faint, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Old Park, I've noticed you're really stubborn. I saw Tanbing get hooked twice. If Xiao Pang hadn't arrived in time, your passive and Flash would have been wasted."

In the top lane, after confirming Lee Sin's location, Mingkai swaggered to block Jayce's way back to lane, chatting with the handsome and rich guy about the love of a dozen minions while complaining about his own top laner.

PDD didn't deny the hook issue, saying, "That enemy support's hook is incredibly accurate, and with Varus's E to apply a slow, it's hard for me to dodge. You'd better watch out for team fights later on, Smile."

"Ok!"

"They're also very good at switching to defensive towers; basically, the three of them are splitting the damage to the maximum." Pang Ran also gave feedback to the mid laner.

"normal."

The concept of swapping towers is something that slightly more advanced players in solo queue will study. In addition, the towers in the S3 version are not very powerful in terms of health, attack power, or attack speed. It is not uncommon for a level 3 Lee Sin and two level 2 duo lanes to be able to go back and forth twice.

In professional matches at this time, you can often see the jungler make a gank, and around five and a half minutes in, the first tower will be destroyed!
That's why many people don't like using TP. Not only are there fewer resources to contest, but if the opponent uses Ignite to find an opportunity to solo kill you, a physical hero with some attack speed can push down your tower in no time. Once the snowball starts rolling, where can you TP to?

Of course, because in this game, both Caitlyn and Annie were holding back in lane and did not choose to push quickly to chip away at the tower's health. When the minions entered the tower, they cooperated with Elise to kill Jayce, so the top lane tower's health was not whittled down too much.

No matter how much damage is done to the defensive tower, it's only a matter of time before it falls under the basic attacks of a large number of minions and Caitlyn.

"Let's switch back after pushing down the tower and take the dragon in the bottom lane."

Jiang Ming glanced at the minimap at Jayce, who had been reduced to half health by the spider, and the minion wave on the top lane that had been almost completely wiped out by the minions. He then set his signal to target the dragon.

As everyone nodded in unison, Wei Xiao, who was focused on the single-player last-hitting game, suddenly looked away from the screen and glanced at the mid lane. His pupils contracted slightly, and he thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

The fact that the short-range Diana could calmly communicate with the long-range Twisted Fate in lane shows that the OGN mid laner failed to put any pressure on her.

When playing against Twisted Fate, Jiang Ming levels up Q at level 1, using the splash damage from his skill to chip away at Twisted Fate's health while pushing the minion wave.

With a passive attack speed buff and AOE damage, Diana's wave clear ability at level 1 is even better than Twisted Fate's when he has all his red cards. She can withstand the damage from Twisted Fate's basic attacks, and only needs to be careful not to get hit by the splash damage from the red cards. With the minion advantage, Twisted Fate can no longer recklessly harass himself.

Furthermore, at level two, Jiang Ming tricked the sect leader Bo An by pretending to be a level three spider and coming to the mid lane, thus depriving the opponent of their only chance to tank the enemy's tank with their own body.

In the first two waves of minion wave management, Twisted Fate was at a disadvantage, allowing Diana to comfortably push the lane back to base and then upgrade to a Doran's Ring. Furthermore, with the increase in Q level, a W plus two passive auto-attacks could basically wipe out a wave of minions.

Anbixin just couldn't suppress it anymore.

You're saying that you only need to wait until card level 6 to set the pace?
The problem is, the top lane tower was taken down early, and Jayce, who has been at level 1 for more than four or five minutes, can fly anywhere.
Thirty seconds later, Annie, who had been acting as a bodyguard for Zac in the bottom lane and helped him farm the wave, quietly roamed to the mid lane and forcefully reduced Twisted Fate's health.

……

At five and a half minutes, PDD arrived at the top lane with a Doran's Shield, a Cloth Armor, and a Green Bean. Seeing that the opponent's Jayce still had only his starting item Doran's Blade in his pocket and nothing else, his smile gradually became monstrous.

It's good for resisting pressure!

Resisting pressure is so much fun!

After holding out for three or four minutes, I came back online to find myself, a fully armored Trisolaran bullying a primitive man. It felt wonderful.

During this time, he doesn't need to do anything else. He just needs to focus on controlling the lane and farming minions. At most, after determining the jungler's position, he can occasionally use his E skill to jump in and trade some health.

Once Zac levels up, trading blows becomes an absolute advantage. With a combo of two or three skills followed by a basic attack and a normal attack, Jayce will lose most of his health. On the other hand, Papa can recover about 70-80% of his health by picking up a couple of bars of soap.

At 7 minutes and 30 seconds, Jiang Ming, who was actively pushing the lane, cooperated with the female police officer who had switched to the bottom lane, along with the jungler and support, to take the first dragon of the game.

A notification of +190 gold coins appeared above the heads of the five heroes.

Meanwhile, on the economy panel, the purple team has a commanding lead of 3,000 with 11.9K to 8.9K.

"I need help, I can't lane anymore," TheShy pleaded for help in the top lane.

MadLife's mind raced, desperate to find the key to reversing the rhythm.

"I'll try the middle lane!"

While the LPL players were fighting the dragon, MadLife and Varus pushed a wave of lanes and left. Taking advantage of this opening, they sent the AD back to base to replenish his equipment, while MadLife quickly headed towards the mid lane.

Twisted Fate will soon reach level six. If he can free up the mid lane first, then whether it's ganking Zac in the top lane who doesn't have his passive, or giving Caitlyn, who is pushing towers recklessly in the bottom lane, a little breathing room, they will be able to catch their breath.

"Ok!"

"Is someone coming?"

Seeing that the card, which only had half health left and had already used up its Crystal Bottle, was approaching the minion wave again, Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow.

"Wait a minute, I'll come to mid lane to counter-gank after I finish getting my items."

Mingkai had accumulated a lot of money, so after taking down the dragon, he chose to go back and upgrade his equipment. The earlier the Spider could get magic penetration boots in the early game, the stronger its combat power would be.

"Need not!"

"Keep ganking top lane, completely shut down Jayce. Lee Sin will definitely come out to help."

He just happened to be looking for an opportunity.

Anbixin would never take such a risky position if he didn't have support.

He knew the other side had sent people, and the other side knew he knew they had sent people too. He was gambling, gambling that he would definitely make his move.

Jiang Ming was certainly not the kind of coward who would seize an opportunity but only seek stability and wait for his teammates, and moreover...

"Who gave you the confidence to act recklessly in front of a level 6 Diana with her ultimate, and a level 4 Thresh without Flash?"

In the game, Jiang Ming controls the hero, wielding the crescent-shaped scythe weapon, the first strike, the second strike!

Just as the director was about to switch the camera upwards because of the jungler's movement, what happened next caught everyone off guard.

Whoosh!
[Lunar Dash]

"Damn it?"

An Bixin's left hand was already hovering above the W key, his nerves taut as he watched every move of Diana, focusing on guarding against the goddess's QR combo. However, when the opponent suddenly activated her ultimate, Luna Dash, and the silver-white scythe, wrapped in moonlight, rushed towards him, his pupils suddenly contracted to pinpoints.

R as a starting hand?

Of course, it's impossible to start with R. Diana's ultimate skill needs to be refreshed by constantly triggering the passive mark. If you release the skill first, it will enter a long cooldown period.

"I am the moon's choice!"

Just before Luna charged towards Twisted Fate's body, Crescent Strike, shaped like a crescent moon, struck Twisted Fate first.

call!
Ignite is applied, the passive is used on the third attack, and the second R skill is released again.

Pale Waterfall

boom!
boom!
Amidst the explosion of the protective orb, two dazzling flashes of white light erupted in the mid lane;
Crunch!

A shrill whistling sound as the air was torn apart and a metallic scraping sound exploded simultaneously! A dark blue, rusty chain pierced through the afterimage of the Moon Goddess who had just stood there.

Ignoring the Soul Chain Warden, Jiang Ming landed his final attack.

"null!"

The Moon Goddess's Blade tore through space, and before the Card Master, whose luck was extremely bad today, could choose the third yellow card, more than half of his health bar had already been cleared.

Beside Thresh, Ambition lay peacefully.

CNLPL-JM has eliminated KRLCL-Ambition!

……

"what!"

"What? A solo kill?"

"In a one-on-two situation, facing MadLife's roaming support, JM used a counter-strategy and seized the opportunity to complete a one-shot kill."

"In just a moment, JM unleashed all of Diana's damage."

On stage, Miller was shouting and yelling, while Su Xiaoyan and Ma Fanshu fell into a brief silence.

"Just now, it seems that JM started with [Lunar Dash] and then used [Crescent Strike] in the air."

[That's the RQ combo, leaving a mark in mid-air, I think that's a really cool combo.]

[OGN mid laner was instantly killed before even picking a champion, oh my god.]

[For the first few minutes I was wondering why I, Jiang Shen, had so few screen time today, and why I was only getting one game. Now it seems I was too hasty.]

……

An Bixin sighed deeply in front of the black-and-white screen.

In their eyes, the figures of the Moon Goddess and the Wild Huntress completely overlapped.

He was just instantly killed, did the opponent even take a second?

It seems not. Clearly, all you needed was a yellow card to immobilize her, plus Thresh's hook. Even if you couldn't take down Diana in one go, you could at least cripple her and force her to use Flash, allowing you to roam with your ultimate and turn the tide for your team.

The reality is so cruel: Thresh's presence or absence did not affect Diana's damage output.

"I guess I'm really not suited to playing mid lane..."

An Bixin remained silent, and MadLife also fell into a state of breathlessness for a while.

The moment Diana dodged Thresh's hook with a preemptive Flash, he realized what was happening.
The opponent is deliberately waiting for him to come, trying to lure the mid laner forward.

The OGN team seats were silent.

Because at the same time that happened in the mid lane, the battle between Lee Sin Jayce and LPL Zac Elise in the top lane also started simultaneously.

Ultimately, at the cost of Elise's Flash and Zac being left with low health again, Jayce was killed, and Insec's Lee Sin escaped by ward-hopping.

The bottom lane was not spared either. Even though Pray had retreated very carefully behind the tower, he had no choice but to retreat to the second tower and use his Q to farm the gold from two minions when facing Annie, who had the Firelust passive ready to pounce.

Seeing this, South Korean fans across the ocean were outraged.

[Damn it, what kind of fighting are these five people doing?]

Why did we assemble this team for our All-Star game? Did we bribe the organizing committee?

[Disgraceful, a disgrace to the Republic of Korea! Getting solo-killed in lane, and getting completely outplayed by JM in terms of tactics. I don't know what you guys are even doing.]

If you lost the race, you'd better swim back.

[The draft was completely outclassed; what was the coaching staff doing?]

We were too rigid and didn't consider the possibility that Officer Annie might switch lanes.

[LPL's tower diving against Jayce is too skillful, it's like they've practiced it for a long time.]

It seems that NXG players were the first to use Jayce in the top lane in the LPL.

JM's plays are outrageous. How can someone be both incredibly skilled and intelligent?

The LPL's dominance is too strong; they're simply not in the same league.

Last year at the Dragon Tiger Cup, WE crushed us. Will we have to go through that again this year? There's no chance of network fluctuations in China.

[Anyway, it's 2-0, I can play too.]

……

A strange laugh could be heard from the LPL team's voice chat.

PDD grinned and said, "Tsk tsk, it's obvious that these guys from OGN haven't been taught a lesson by Lao Jiang enough. How could someone as cunning as Lao Jiang not even be able to guess that your support wasn't exposed and might even be in the mid lane?"

"Damn it, you dog Mingkai, I ate your head and you even dirtied my cannon! You beast!"

Jiang Ming smiled and shook his head. The banter between teammates was enough to prove that their team had gained a huge advantage in the early stages.

After killing Twisted Fate and his skills were completely on cooldown, he ignored Thresh who had returned to the tower.

After getting the kills and clearing out the minions in front of me, this wave of attacks back home netted me nearly 1,500 gold.

Including the equipment I bought before, I'll get a second ring and boots, plus a Negative Cloak!
The Abyssal Scepter during Season 3 was undoubtedly the most cost-effective item chosen by Diana.

OGN was dismayed to find that when Diana returned to the lane, Jayce in the top lane was no longer their only headache. The good news was that Jayce was no longer a major problem, but the bad news was that they had another goddess, Diana, to deal with.

Anbixin didn't dare to step into Jiang Ming's [Moon God Sprint] range at all. With the vision protection of the jungler and support, the positions of Lee Sin and Thresh were almost obvious. Without the threat of ganks from the jungler and support, Diana had the right to fire without restraint.

With a double RQ combo, a passive slash, and an E skill slow, you can go from full health to near-death in the blink of an eye.

If Twisted Fate dares to use his W first, then cowering under the tower is in mortal danger.

The Lee Sin tried to gank hard, but his Flash was immediately used up by the counter-ganking Elise and he was forced to retreat again.

From a champion progression perspective, Diana is entering a power spike. Twisted Fate, who lacks an ultimate ability, needs to constantly use his ultimate to roam and gain extra gold to help his teammates establish momentum.

However, Anbixin was pinned down in the middle lane and unable to move, and was also at a disadvantage in the top and bottom lanes. As a result, the blue team was in a situation where they couldn't play anywhere.

Twelve minutes later, Jiang Ming disappeared from the mid lane after pushing a wave of minions.

An Bixin quickly sent signals to both the top and bottom lanes, while simultaneously drawing cards to clear the minion wave with a WQ combo. He then moved to the river to use his ultimate defensively to scout out the enemy's position.

However, what he didn't expect was that the LPL mid and jungle duo's target was his Twisted Fate from the very beginning.

Compared to Jayce and the bot lane duo, who were so startled that they ran away at the slightest disturbance that they didn't even have time to pull up their pants, Twisted Fate was still easier to catch.

The wall forms a cocoon, and Mingkai is only responsible for controlling the situation.

The next moment, a Diana flew out of the sky, RQWA, and in an instant, she unleashed all her burst damage and secured the kill.

With Twisted Fate dead, Lee Sin had no choice but to peek out and engage in combat.

However, after killing someone, the jungler and mid laner didn't stop for a second and immediately pushed down to the bottom lane.

Varus and Thresh had no choice but to abandon the tower and flee, while WeiXiao effortlessly took down another turret!

After the turrets finished their gold, the second dragon spawned precisely one minute later. The LPL team recalled to base to replenish their supplies, then left again, quickly pushed the minion wave, and headed to the dragon pit, where each player collected another 190 gold.

Thus, Catherine, the last member of the lineup whose growth curve will clearly weaken in the mid-game, has also avoided her own weaknesses thanks to the large amount of team economy support.

……

"Wuhu, nice!"

"Wow, JM is unstoppable, Varus melted in a second."

"PDD's Zac is also very strong. He directly disrupted the Korean team's backline, and the opponent couldn't break through at all."

"Smiling AD is so comfortable, he can just stand in the back and attack without worrying about being killed."

"Haha, this Jayce is hilarious. His EQ combo hit Diana, but it didn't even break her shield."

"A level 14 player fighting a level 9 player, the top laner is just as miserable as the support."

"OGN is so bad, they're always getting crushed. I could do better."

Southwest China, Yunnan Province.

Several teenagers in blue and white school uniforms crowded in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, their noses almost touching the glass, exclaiming in surprise as they watched the All-Star game live on the big screen.

"Hey, Tianye, you're so good at ranked games, why don't you consider trying to go pro?" The boy in the red hoodie nudged a bespectacled, refined-looking boy next to him with his elbow.

"I hadn't thought about it."

"Holy crap, I really need to think about this. I want to follow in JM's footsteps, make a name for myself, and bring glory to the country. My dad saw the All-Star match on TV5 yesterday and even asked me about today's LPL match against the Korean team."

"Then why don't you stay home and watch it with your dad?"

“I don’t dare. I’m afraid he’ll get excited and compare me to JM, and then he’ll beat me up.”

"Pfft, who can compare to JM?"

"We're going to win! We're going to win! In the first game, Twisted Fate and Jayce were completely useless, Lee Sin's jungle was a mess, and the only decent Varus had no chance of survival against Zac and Annie."

Tianye said excitedly.

Although he didn't answer his friends' questions about whether he wanted to go pro, this question didn't affect his love for League of Legends in his spare time.

SKT eSports Club, South Korea.

A few sighs of regret came from the mouths of the young people.

"Oh dear, we can't fight."

"The damage difference is too big; Jayce doesn't have any equipment at all."

"Poke is ineffective; a max-level Zac with E combined with Annie is too powerful for team fight initiation."

"Damn, JM is too cunning. He definitely didn't use his full strength when he played against us in scrims."

Koma turned his gaze away from the computer and looked up behind a young man with short, dark brown hair and a youthful yet somewhat unruly appearance. He lowered his head and asked softly, "How's the research going?"

"We've lost our chance."

"If the mid lane played like this in the first game, the result of the second game will not change."

"Chanyong couldn't contain JM in the mid lane, and the potential of LPL's mid and jungle players is limitless."

"In the current version, teams that can't win in the mid lane are guaranteed to lose."

Koma chuckled, "That's not what I'm asking you about. In the first game, after picking Jayce, we got swapped at level one and tower-dived, and then failed to gank Zac in the bot lane, which was the end of the game."

"Sang-hyeok, what I want to ask is, if you were to face JM, would you be confident of defeating him?"

Coach Kkoma has extremely high expectations for his team's talented mid-laner, who joined the team after a training match with NXG, seemingly by promise of a computer.

A voice from the depths of his being told him that this young man would become the absolute king of the mid lane.

"can!"

Lee Sang-hyeok looked serious. Although he had been taught a lesson by JM many times in previous training matches, he was confident that he could win back in the later matches.

"Don't worry, Sang-hyeok, I'll help you in the match."

Just then, the good-natured Benji put his right hand on Faker's shoulder.

"LOL is not a one-man showdown; the jungler will always be paired with the mid laner."

"We are the best partners."

"Yes, that's right!"

Koma smiled with satisfaction: "Haha, then we need to work harder, guys. If we lose at the All-Star event, our region will have one less spot. Our team's performance in the first half of the season was not satisfactory. If we want to make it to the World Championship in S3, we will have to put in more effort."

"To borrow a line from JM's interview, you have to consider whether this might be your only chance to enter the World Championship in your professional career."

　I'm ready to take the beating. Yesterday's interactive segment with the host was definitely a brain fart of mine.

　　Every time I write a book, I always have a sudden flash of inspiration.

　　Ahem, the All-Star storyline has been sped up a bit; it will be completely over tomorrow.

　　With this book's groundwork laid, the next phase will be one of rapid development. I hope you will continue to support it.

　　Let's set a small goal: for the first three months, I'll maintain a daily update of 10,000 words. (I have to consider whether this book might be my only chance to surpass 20,000 subscriptions in my lifetime.)
　　I hope everyone will continue to support me, and if you can, please subscribe automatically. (It's the end of the month, please vote with your monthly tickets!)
