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

Chapter 199 Dragon's Tail Swing!

First blood!

"Draven flashed in and killed Lee Sin, securing First Blood. Withdrawal successful!"

"Ah, but Lustre's Flash also put him in a very dangerous position."

"The Enchantress has arrived!!"

"Theking arrived at the battlefield very quickly, and with QE and Ignite, he and his teammates killed Lustre first."

Even if the White Team didn't want Draven to withdraw the money, the other side has already achieved their goal.

Zhao Hao didn't give Qin Huan's Draven more opportunities to attack. To play it safe, he added Ignite to both of his skills to prevent Lulu from having a chance to save him.

The more important thing right now is to further expand the advantage. For the purple side, a one-for-one trade is practically a huge loss.

The second person to die was Xiao Duan's Thresh.

To stop Lee Sin for Draven, he used Flash, and MOON's very clever follow-up control left him standing there getting beaten up by Ezreal for a long time.

NXG-B.Lustre killed NXG-W.MLXG!

NXG-W.TheKing has killed NXG-B Lustre!

NXG-W.TheKing killed NXG-B duan!

(Double Kill!)
Han Jun, who landed after touching the ward, received much better treatment than Mala Xiangguo. His Q and E skills forced the two members of the White Team to use their Flash abilities, which looked very impressive at first glance.

"It's useless!"

"The White Team duo was very rational. Knowing that Lulu was right behind them, they decisively used Flash to avoid the subsequent battle."

Two for one!

Economically speaking, Draven, who gets the first blood, doesn't earn less than LeBlanc, who has two kills.

However, the fact that both kills went to LeBlanc is undoubtedly very bad news for the purple team, who rely on Draven for damage in the mid-game.

However, even worse misfortunes were yet to come.

When the clash broke out in the bottom lane, the two players in the top lane also started fighting.

An attack initiated by Riven!
Eight minutes later, Jiang Hong, having silently accumulated three stacks of his passive ability, used his ERQ combo to close the distance on Centaur Warrunner.

"I have been wandering for so long!"

call!
Ignite and hang it up.

Immediately, a lightning-fast second-stage QA followed by [Soul-Shaking Roar] immobilizes him in place.

Because he was very close to the blue square tower, Zhu Xiaolong did not retreat directly. Instead, he pressed the R key and used the Shadow Strike to move forward and try to counterattack from the spot.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Hong's prediction was correct, and he pressed Flash the moment QAW made his move.

boom!
Wow!
Countless ghosts of the Shadow Isles drifted past her ears as Raven appeared directly behind Centaur.

fear?

miss!

Seeing that his ultimate skill had missed, Zhu Xiaolong exclaimed that things were in trouble and activated Sprint followed by E, trying to pull himself out of the turret and escape in the opposite direction.

“Fight violence with violence!”

A powerful, resounding shout rang in my ears.

Immediately, a huge runic sword crashed down from the sky.

puff!

Before Hecarim could even get out of the distance thanks to the movement speed from E skill and Sprint, he was already in a knock-up state.

"I'm gone..."

Zhu Xiaolong gave a wry smile. The distance of Centaur's ultimate dash could actually be determined by the user. In order to intimidate the opponent while coordinating with the turret to deal damage as soon as possible, he chose to release it over the shortest distance.

Now that his ultimate skill has been dodged with Flash, he has dug a huge pit for himself, and he has to jump into it willingly.

After being knocked into the air, a series of basic attacks followed, and finally...

"Drink!"

[Swift Wind Slash!]

The female warrior's shout pierced the air of the canyon, and a fan-shaped green energy caught up with the shadow of war.

NXG-W.Nexus killed NXG-B.Long!

Single kill!

The audience was completely taken aback. Just a moment ago, the two sides were evenly matched, but the next moment, the white team had already taken a 3-1 lead.

With the top and mid lanes already in control, can Draven, who is only one-on-one, still turn the tide?
The debate over whether they could win back the enemy was put aside for the time being. What followed was a decision by the White Team that left countless people dumbfounded.

Riven, who gained an advantage with a solo kill in the top lane, did not return to her lane to suppress Hecarim. Instead, she went straight into the jungle and started fighting the jungle monsters with the jungler Lee Sin.

EZ and Thresh, who were supposed to be in the bottom lane getting beaten up by Draven, ended up in the top lane.

"what!"

"What?! You can play games like this?"

"After Xiangguo reached level six, he simply stopped eating jungle monsters and gave them all to the top laner. He switched the bot lane to the top lane and stopped defending the bottom lane, leaving it to Draven to push."

The two routes are switched midway!
The reason is simple: rather than sending the duo lane back to face a potential bloodbath, it's better to trade towers.

Riven, who gets the kill, will always develop better than Hecarim. Also, after Lee Sin reaches level 6, there's not much difference between reaching level 7 a minute earlier or a minute later.

The jungle monsters allowed two groups to make up for Riven's economic losses, which was no problem for Spicy Hot Pot.

"Hecarim's situation is no different from Riven's. Facing Thresh, who has a lot of crowd control, his ultimate and Ghost are on cooldown. Long from the Black Team can't even farm minions."

"That's not all. After Riven and Lee Sin wandered around the jungle, they moved to the top lane. Hecarim didn't dare to stay under the turret anymore; it wasn't safe."

Amidst the gasps of Xiaoxiao and Bella, Spicy Pot, the jungler known for his "starvation" playstyle, shocked the entire esports community after giving up first blood with another mind-blowing strategy employed by his teammates. At nine minutes and seven seconds, amidst the reluctant expressions of the Black Team members, the blue team's top lane and the purple team's bottom lane towers were reduced to ruins, one in front and one behind.

Faced with the rampant jungle dominance of the white team, the black team had no good way to contain them. The mid-lane LeBlanc's lead over Lulu greatly restricted the blue team's lane rotations. In addition, Qin Huan, considering the development of Long's Hecarim, could not push towards the purple team's second tower.

If Centaur's development is poor, he will fall into a state in the mid-game where he has neither damage nor tankiness.

The only piece of good news, though not exactly good news, was that they secured their first dragon.

Why is this considered bad news?
The reason is simple: the strong bot lane duo of Draven and Thresh should have been able to gain an advantage during the laning phase and help the jungler control the bottom lane. What they are doing now is simply taking a resource that should have belonged to their team.

Twelve minutes in, the Black Team found a chance to counterattack.

In the mid lane, Zhao Hao's LeBlanc tried to harass Lulu during a lane rotation, flanking from the river bush with a W+R combo to close the gap. However, at the point of retreat, Han Jun, who was counter-ganking, seized the opportunity and kicked LeBlanc back with a Spinning Kick. Then, Zhu Xiaolong's Hecarim successfully predicted the landing point of his own Lee Sin's R skill, and Hecarim's ultimate feared LeBlanc. Subsequently, Lulu flashed and polymorphed, completing a seamless skill combo. Qin Huan's Draven instantly used his ultimate and simultaneously activated his Triple Axe to slash LeBlanc.

With the blue team focusing their fire, the Demoness was instantly killed, successfully disrupting Zhao Hao's rhythm.

The three hundred heads were pocketed by the soldiers.

However, although they managed to kill LeBlanc in the river, the blue team's attempt to push the lane and threaten the mid tower failed due to the excessive use of their skills.

With one defensive tower lost on each of the top and bottom lanes, Centaur's high mobility played a significant supporting role during the frequent lane rotations, to the point that the Black team seemed to have stabilized the situation against the Purple team's White team's offensive.

"It has a bit of a slow death feel to it!"

Jiang Ming shook his head regretfully, "It's obviously disadvantageous for the blue side to drag this out like this. Hecarim's development is average, and it's unrealistic for him to charge into the enemy team and kill EZ in team fights. In the mid to late game, the blue side's damage output is too one-dimensional with only Draven. On the other hand, Riven and LeBlanc are both developing very well. If Lulu is not careful, her own AD will have to go back to the fountain."

"The white team is well aware that the black team is currently in a hurry to group up and push forward, taking advantage of Draven's current strength to generate more gold for the team."

"Not fighting the blue team is the wisest decision, especially since neither Lulu nor Centaur can handle the purple team's solo lane pushes well. A 4-1 formation is the simplest way to win."

……

"No problem, keep stalling. Time is on our side. Once EZ gets his Iceborn Gauntlet, our team fights will be much easier."

Jiang Hong breathed a sigh of relief. He had taken a considerable risk by voluntarily giving up the top lane to allow the duo to avoid Draven's sharp edge.

Fortunately, our jungler is Xiangguo.

"Xiao Qin and the others will probably have to find a way to team up and push forward." The resurrected Zhao Hao did not regret that he had been given an opportunity.

That's how professional matches are. Even someone as strong as Ming Ge has been kicked around by junglers in scrims, let alone being kicked into Hecarim's fear by a single roundhouse kick.

Making mistakes is okay, just correct them. Losing your rhythm is okay, just be more careful afterwards... But you absolutely cannot be afraid to look for opportunities just because you're afraid of making mistakes!
The blue team's advance wasn't that fast; at least until Lee Sin and Hecarim's ultimate abilities were ready, it was difficult for them to launch another effective attack.

In contrast, Jiang Hong's Riven and Zhao Hao's LeBlanc on the right side are not as reliant on their ultimate abilities.

Taking advantage of the blue team's skill cooldown period, MOON thoroughly scanned the vision around the dragon.

Of course, with the removal of the Prophet's Potion, it's no longer realistic to clear the jungle like before, piece by piece. MOON can only ensure that there are no blind spots in vision for a few key positions.

In the Black Team's in-game voice chat, the five members were frantically exchanging information.

"Brother Long is farming at the second tower. Be careful, LeBlanc and Riven might come from our red buff area to cause you trouble." Han Jun's forehead was covered in sweat, a natural reaction from prolonged concentration. "EZ's second item will be upgraded in about two minutes, including recall time. We need to make a move."

"Old Zeng, you should rush to get the hat as your second item. We need you to contribute some of our damage output."

Qin Huan's development can be described as good. He has the Bloodthirster in hand and the Infinity Edge is on its way. However, the White Team has too many output points. They have also done a perfect job of avoiding fights in the mid-game. Just now, they even went so far as to sacrifice the jungler and swap the top lane and duo lanes to avoid their sharp edge.

However, the laning phase, which allows for snowballing, has been dragged out, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of Draven's Flash to get kills. Right now, team fights can't be initiated, which will only continue to reduce the advantage of his own bot lane. They even need to be careful of Riven and LeBlanc's dives, since U's Lulu is a mid laner and also needs to farm and develop, so she can't always stay by the AD's side.

"Hecarim was farming alone in front of the bottom lane's second tower, so Riven couldn't go too far in, which affected her farming. The black team managed to hold the line."

"The good news is that the second item announced will be available soon. At that time, EZ with Manamune and Iceborn Gauntlet will not be much weaker than Draven without Infinity Edge."

Xiaoxiao observed the situation on the field and understood the key points of the game between the two sides.

EZ didn't get any kills this game and his development wasn't great, but the Iceborn Gauntlet and Manamune were really cheap for him. Compared to Draven's Bloodthirster and Infinity Edge, which cost over 3,000 gold each, the upgrade pressure was much less.

The white team is also feeling immense pressure from the black team's coordinated attack.

The downside of knowing each other too well is this: when your white team is on offense, you basically know the opponent's defensive strategy, and when it's your turn to defend, the opponent also knows your team's operational layout.

three minutes!
The stalemate lasted for a full three minutes. The white team failed to find an opportunity to cut through the mid and jungle, while the black team, which also pushed as a group, did not gain much substantial economic advantage.

However, it is obvious that when both junglers are Lee Sin, it is impossible to completely block the actions of both sides with only a little vision in the lanes and jungle.

At sixteen minutes, Han Jun, who was using the wall vision from the Dragon Pit, warded and approached Riven, who was pushing the lane and trying to retreat.

A murderous intent suddenly arose!
With a flash of golden light, the Blind Monk, who was patting his eye in mid-air just a second ago, suddenly rushed behind Riven.

Jiang Hongda sensed something was wrong.

The next moment, a tremendous force came from his waist, and the hero was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

In his pupils, he saw a wild horse galloping towards him.

clatter! clatter! clatter!
“I have been wandering for so long.”

Without hesitation, Jiang Hong activated his ultimate the instant Lee Sin's ultimate landed. With Hecarim and Lee Sin both having Ghost, their chasing ability is top-tier in the League. Trying to run away would only make him die faster.

Boom!
Hecarim kicked Riven in the face, unleashing a QA combo in tandem. The damage and cooldown of a max-level Q were reduced to the minimum.

While the top laners were engaged in close combat, Han Jun's Lee Sin did not rush forward. Riven's damage mostly had a considerable AOE effect, and going forward at this time would only give the opponent an opportunity.

At the perfect distance, use E skill to slam down on the base.

boom!
However, things didn't go as Han Jun had imagined.

Riven, however, made the same prediction, turning around and using EQA to hit Hecarim while dodging Lee Sin's deadly E skill.

The damage from the bone-breaking attack isn't that bad; the key is the second stage's slow effect, which leaves him with no room to maneuver.

On the commentary desk.

Bella spoke faster: "Riven dodged Lee Sin's E with two dashes, it may take the two of them more time to deal with this Riven."

"Ah, on the other side, after knowing that you, Riven, ganked my top laner, the white team also launched a counterattack. Waaaaah, EZ's ultimate attracted the aggro of the jungle monsters, and the three wolves bit towards the black team in the jungle. Spicy Pot used Q to get close to Draven by ward-hopping, and Lulu was on the other side, but she was too far away to use Polymorph immediately."

A library!
Within Summoner's Rift, the blind monk's booming shouts echoed through the air.

"Wanla, Draven got kicked back."
