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

Chapter 70 The Real Gap in Game Understanding

"Go! Go! Go!"

"If you're slow to leave at level one, half of your team will die in the game."

Upon entering the game, LGD's support player NT shouted in the voice chat, frantically sending signals to the bottom half of the purple side's map, "Last game we were too slow to leave the base and got ambushed by DD. This game we'll take the initiative to invade."

"Ah Quan's bear has a passive ability. At level one, he can sell the thief's meat and we can focus fire and kill one of them."

"Don't go down the middle lane, let's go to the lane."

NT's idea is brilliant: Volibear can flash and carry someone back, Ryze can use his ultimate to control the target, and Rumble, Kog'Maw, and Sona can finish them off with additional damage.

However, there was one thing that the people at Lao Gan Die (a popular Chinese internet celebrity) hadn't considered.

"The purple team still leaves very quickly, generally one or two seconds faster than the blue team, LGD."

The joker succinctly pinpointed the crux of the problem.

If you, the blue team, want to engage in a level 1 team fight, you first need to be able to leave the base faster than others.

NXG's five players can buy equipment a second or two faster. After determining their level one positioning before the match, their fixed route when leaving the game can save another second or two. With these three or four seconds of difference, who knows who will be ambushing whom?

"Old Godfather and his five friends are sticking together. Old Song and Stone, you guys go straight for the Blue Zone."

The first to arrive quickly placed a necessary defensive ward, which caught sight of the sneaky LGD heroes.

"Okay, shall we start in the jungle?"

The top laner and Jayce walked towards the blue side's top half of the map in sync.

"Let's take a look first. Old Xu's physical body will provide vision, so don't learn his skills yet."

"Oh, we see LGD's five heroes moving from the lanes towards the river at level one, trying to invade NXG's bottom jungle."

“But we’ve already been spotted.” Wawa laughed. “That’s what we often say in games: if you’re slow to leave the game, you’ll lose half the game.”

With his vision exposed, Pang Ran quickly hid in the triangular bush behind his own tower, while Xu Jing's Graves positioned himself at the edge of the vision. As Volibear moved forward, Pang Ran moved backward, maintaining a distance where they could see each other but were not close enough for Volibear to Flash and grab him.

Controlling the distance between the two sides' skills and taking Flash into account is a skill that seems difficult but is actually not simple at all. However, he spent a long time practicing and finally mastered it.

Doflamingo actually said that some people can control the range of basic attacks just by relying on their talent. Is he kidding me?

"Open, open, open!"

"Ah Quan, what are you doing? Just fire the male gun."

"Not enough distance!" Taobao Quan roared, wanting to continue probing forward. "If the enemy Graves learns E at level one, I'll be doomed."

"Lulu didn't see her either, she's probably hiding in some bushes."

"Let's quit, let's quit..."

[Pfft, are all five LGD players idiots? They leave so much slower than everyone else, and they still want to team fight at level one.]

This clearly shows just how many opportunities we've missed to climb the ranks because of those slow-moving idiots.

[The bear is such a coward; he didn't even dare to Flash and grab the Graves right in front of him.]

[Upstairs, you'd be quiet if you drew your gun quickly.]

[Then the blue team completely collapsed at the start. Look at the top half of the map, Jayce's ward was practically at the wolves' crossroads.]

What I admire most about NXG is their teamwork. If one lane detects an opponent's attack, the other lane will immediately react accordingly; they absolutely cannot just stand there and watch.

[Yes, yes, sometimes if you gank their top lane, your bottom lane will suffer; conversely, if the jungler is in the top lane, the other duo will definitely not make any risky moves.] [What is a professional team? I think this is what a professional team is. What kind of professional team relies on mechanics and plays recklessly?]

In the game, the top and mid laners of LGD, who had been recalling to base, began to explore their own upper jungle.

Snapped!Snapped!
"Um, no one?"

After two consecutive electronic harpoons probed the air, Little Star was somewhat at a loss. "Isn't the other side planning to switch jungle areas?"

"It's best not to change it." Taobao Quan arrived at the location of the Stone Golem, preparing to share his experience with the duo lane, "and help me get more buffs too."

"Star, top laner Kaka, I'll come gank for you at level three."

Jayce and the like, if they don't play mid lane and go to top lane, aren't they just asking for trouble?

At 1 minute and 40 seconds, the monsters respawned.

The Kha'Zix, who had learned W at level 1, threw an energy blast into the F4 jungle camp, while Jayce transformed his basic attack and then quickly switched forms to use his E skill to kill the small jungle monsters.

The current version of the game is very bloody in the top lane, partly because the level 1 minions spawn too late, so everyone has to farm one or two jungle monsters before going to lane.

With the experience boost from monsters, leveling up becomes incredibly fast, and it's common for two real men to engage in a fierce battle at level two.

The early popularization of this skill is actually related to Jiang Ming.

Since playing it a few times in the live stream at the end of the season, the duo helping the jungler and the mid laner helping the top laner at the start of the game has become the standard setup in major competitions.

Of course, as the pioneering team, they naturally mastered some more refined opening techniques.

For example, the starting location of the jungle monsters can be used to determine the next gank route.

The Centaur starts with three wolves, then goes through the F4 camp to farm in the upper half of the red buff area. By the time they reach level three in the top lane, they can initiate a gank.

"Old Song, remember to lock the line!" Stone signaled.

If Hecarim wants to gank, he will have to learn E at level 3, which means he will lose two levels of Q damage and his jungle clearing speed will be slower. Therefore, he must communicate with his teammates in advance.

Song Yuan nodded. He learned E on Jayce at level 1, and since he was moving up from F4, he could easily position himself to block Rumble's push.

"Okay, we see the minions are heading to the battlefield, the jungle monsters have respawned, Rumble has taken the three wolves with Ryze's help, and Jayce on the purple side has had Kha'Zix help him take the F4 monsters."

"Oh, Jess studied E in Level 1?"

As soon as the director started looking for something interesting in the three feeds, Wawa and Joker realized something was wrong.

Despite both players arriving at the top lane around the same time to farm jungle monsters, Jayce arrived at the top lane before Rumble and strangely used his body to block the blue team's minion wave.

When Rumble walked up from the river, wanting to soak up the experience from the colliding minion wave, he was knocked away by Jayce's hammer.

"Is this how you play games?"

Little Star instantly spewed profanities, feeling utterly disgusted by the sight of the handsome, rich, and powerful Piltover man standing before her.

Nobody would level up Jayce to E at level 1 just to get to lane early and then block their position to prevent themselves from getting lane farm!

The key issue is that he doesn't dare to fight the opponent. After all, even if Jayce doesn't attack minions, he can still get experience while stuck in the middle. If he falls, he might be beaten by a level 2 minion.

Snapped!
An electronic harpoon forced him to reposition, and Star controlled Rambo to quickly push forward. He threw a second harpoon and finally managed to take down the low-health melee minion in front of him.

One fell and one was eaten... I guess that's acceptable.

Fortunately, I learned E in Level 1, and mainly focused on Q, otherwise I probably would have failed all three of them.

　Top Esports felt completely unfamiliar today. All I can say is that Redmi is the guy who knows the user manual for 369. And, as always, an excellent training team can really influence a lot. (Last day, brothers, please vote for me if you haven't already!)
