My buddy is actually a Cao Cao type top laner?

Chapter 178 You call this an evenly matched opponent?
After the V5 players returned to the club from their respective locations, the 12.14 version of the test server update followed.

Meiko was overjoyed at the news that soft support champions had been eliminated.

The elemental dragons' attributes and health have been increased, with approximately 1.5 times the attribute bonus compared to before the update. Simply put, the durability version of the game was too boring, and the designers also felt that the LCK games, where the first blood only occurs after 30 minutes, were not entertaining.

OK.

Then let's enhance the attributes.

Forcibly speeding up the pace of the game.

To achieve this, it even nerfed the healing effect of starting potions, forcing everyone to focus on lane skirmishes. It even nerfed the biscuit healing from the Biscuit Mastery rune, shifting the game's direction in this patch towards a meta of strong early game + resource buffs versus late-game carry + increased durability.

"With this change, Qi Shen, let's start practicing Wheel Mom."

"Huh? Practicing again?"

Xiao Yan wore a bitter expression, complained slightly, but his body obediently chose Wheel Mother and started practicing on its own.

On the one hand, it's his trust in Luo Ji's version of the intuition.

On the other hand, the buffs to Sivir in version 12.4 were indeed ridiculously overpowered.

The release time of Q decreases as attack speed increases, and while the damage of W to minions is reduced, it now includes a description that it will execute minions with less than a certain health threshold.

this means.

Sivir can basically clear a wave with QW, firmly controlling the mid lane. Coupled with the various summoner spells, Sivir in the bot lane can now even take Flash and Ghost, considering her E skill's shield.

It's incredibly difficult.

Sivir can even solo lane and free up the support.

“Kasa too.” Luo Ji glanced at Kasa, who was standing there in a daze, and suddenly spoke up.

"Huh? Me?" Kasa was stunned for a moment, then pointed to himself.

There's no reason for that.

He's famous for his vast knowledge of jungle heroes; what hero can't he play?

"The Alps."

"?"

"It's that Piervis that just came out not long ago, but I like to call it that."

"Oh, that thing~"

Casa nodded knowingly.

In a sense, junglers with multiple dashes are indeed quite powerful, but no one has figured out how to play them yet. However, it seems that Luo Ji has found a way to coordinate with the changes in the version.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at the race schedule.

Not surprisingly.

Their next opponent is their old friend LNG.

That is, the top laner is Ale, the jungler is Tazan, the mid laner is BigB, and the bottom lane is Denghuang + Lvmao.

When it comes to beating Doinb...

Rookie's interest was piqued.

He and Doinb have always been at odds, perhaps because Chinese people from other countries tend to dislike each other. Karsa and Tazan are also old rivals, but they have relatively little conflict and are quite peaceful. After all, Tazan's public opinion opponent is Ning, who is currently streaming.

Luo Ji knew this perfectly well.

Doinb's team always has the "lights out" strategy as a trump card. If the opponent really uses the "lights out" strategy in the next game, it will be very fun to counter it.

But that's it.
Given their tendency to play second best, even if they develop their skills, they'll most likely remain hidden until the playoffs.

"What are you going to say? Is the new interpretation of LNG delivery directly giving us a fresh perspective on the supply chain?"

"Then what should we do? Wait until others have finished their first bite and then eat what they leave behind? There's no need for that."

When Nofe asked him about it, Luo Ji directly expressed his hope that Xiao Yan would be the main force.

current version.

Sivir and Varus have both received significant buffs, but these two AD carries require high skill from Kun, as their ground-clicking frequency is second only to Zephyr, which is particularly taxing on the hands.

But then again.

Such a hero, as long as their fundamentals are solid and they can indeed deliver outstanding performances on the field, is like the great pianist Beethoven once said:

The faster your fingers move, the higher the decibel level will be.

Game day.

Luo Ji and the others also sat in the competition room early.

"Let's get this straight, who's the center today?"

"Brother Chicken, it's definitely Brother Chicken who's in charge when beating Big B, what am I supposed to do?"

Luo Ji shamelessly chose to give up.

He wasn't afraid of Ale on the other side, but it would be difficult for him to break through Ale's lane, and there was absolutely no need to do so. In his opinion, even if you ignored Ale, he would naturally make mistakes and feed in the mid-game.

Correct.

As a player with unpredictable and erratic behavior.

Ale is mostly reflected in the first two words.

Moreover, he's not just an ordinary unpredictable player; he's an ultimate unpredictable player with a very high ceiling. Sometimes his skills and intuition are amazing, but other times he acts ridiculously. To be honest, his discipline is just too poor.

S12 even changed the career trajectory of many LPL players just because of his weapon jump.

So Luo Ji summarized it.

Ale's disadvantages are equal to disadvantages; Ale's advantages are definitely disadvantages; if the team has advantages and Ale has disadvantages, it is equal to advantages; if the team has disadvantages and Ale has advantages, it is equal to disadvantages.

Did you understand?

Understand the applause.

Rookie was also amused and said, "I'm fine with C, but it's not safe for me to be alone. How should I put it, Qi Shen, can you help me out?"

"Huh? Me?"

Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then nodded excitedly.

Despite the butterfly effect, Xiao Yan's strength did not stagnate due to the "exposed bird incident." On the contrary, due to continuous training, his upward momentum remained strong. It was difficult to catch up with talents like Zhui Ga La and Viper, but he could barely catch up with hard-working ADs like Zhui Deng Huang.

"Row!"

Luo Ji clapped his hands.

"Brother Chicken took down Big B, Xiao Yan took down the Lantern King, we all have a bright future." "Just LNG."

"White horses? We'll make sure they never return!"

It is worth mentioning that

In the first game, LNG's champion selection directly surprised V5. They did not field ALE in the first game, but instead fielded their substitute top laner PandaC.

What's the difference between this top laner and Ale?
Let's say that.

Up, everyone worked hard to drag the game to the late game, and then we lost a wave at 50, which was frustrating.

Once you're on Panda TV, everyone will know within ten minutes that you can start playing and can play however you want, even if you lose, it's easy.

why?

Because he's just an LDL-level top laner. If Luo Ji hadn't played in MSI, I might have been interested in playing with him. But after playing in MSI, Luo Ji playing against this kind of LDL top laner is like a demon king camping in the newbie village fountain. He just crushes the opponent's morale to pieces.

So much so that V5 took down the opponent in the first game at lightning speed.

On the barrage.

A bunch of people were having fun and were speaking out for Ale.

Even LDL newcomers have room for improvement.

Alright, that's enough with the critique. Let's get this LDL top laner off the court already.

[This match was a classic case of a lucky player beating an unlucky player. Both were academy top laners, but my dream player debuted with an SSR card, and you ended up with an N card to play against him? You should at least have gotten an R card.]

[While I don't want to discourage newcomers like this, compared to 50 Zimbabwean dollars for an Ale, this newcomer probably doesn't even have 50 Zimbabwean dollars.]

[Fifty Zimbabweans? Fifty Moskarstones!]

As a fan of Pandac, I really acknowledge his skill level. Please make sure he starts against EDG (doge)

no way.

That's just how realistic the LPL is.

Strength is king.

In fact, there are quite a few new players in the LPL, but many of them start for weak teams and only appear once or twice in their entire professional careers. Their IDs are not even remembered by the audience. They go their separate ways after the game because of poor performance.

Correct.

This is the cruel reality of esports.

Of course, giving up a professional career isn't necessarily a bad thing. When your talent isn't enough to enter this cyber battlefield, becoming a great gaming companion might earn you more money.
as predicted.

It happened during halftime.

LNG has also made personnel changes, with Ale returning to the starting lineup.

It's still a meaningless draft. As I said before, there's no need for drafts in the regular season. Everyone just follows the meta and picks whatever is available. Only in the playoffs will everyone show their true understanding and compete.

By then.

It's not about who has the version of the answer wins, but rather whoever wins becomes the version of the answer.

Therefore, the lineups for both sides are as follows:

LNG: Top lane Kennen, Jungle Wukong, Mid lane Swain, Bot lane Zarya + Lulu
V5: Top lane Jarvan IV, Jungle Berserker, Mid lane Lissandra, Bot lane Sivir + Yuumi

The moment the lineup came out.

Luo Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, called Coach Nofe over, and said in a low voice, "Coach, do you think that if the opponent's lineup were to switch the mid laner to Nightmare, it might be a hidden lineup for them?"

Following Luo Ji's words, Nofe's gaze also fell upon LNG's lineup. After a slight hesitation, he nodded emphatically. "You're right."

Yes.

Even though he wouldn't remember many details after time travel, Luo Ji still remembered some of the most influential and memorable scenes.

For example, LNG played best-of-five series throughout the entire S12 playoffs.

For example, their system for discharging electricity when the lights are off.

For example, Ah Le's amazing leap.

Therefore.

The moment the opposing team picked that lineup, Luo Ji's PTSD was immediately triggered.

From the outside perspective, this scene of him discussing with the coach appears to be them deliberately pulling out the Prince + Bervis ultimate combo and discussing the final details.

Prince (top lane).

New hero for jungling.

this! ?

Is it acceptable to have so much personal bias when playing a competition?
[Top lane Jarvan IV! What year is it tonight?!]

[666666, the last time this champion was used in a really famous match was back in Season 7 when WE's 957 played Jarvan IV against Jax, right?]

[This champion's mechanics are a bit outdated, but it seems to be experiencing a resurgence now; Sejuani is making a comeback in the top lane, so Jarvan IV might be a viable option too.]

[Is my dream game really going to involve playing through all 100+ heroes? And without repeating any?]

In fact.

The strategy of using Prince to counter Kennen was used by Nuguri before, and even Hanwha's top laner used this strategy during S11, which gave Xiaohu a lot of trouble.

Essentially, it's easier to deal with Kennen who lacks sustain by using attrition-based strategies.

It can be understood as an alternative form of stone man.

The rune path is Aery, start with Doran's Ring, and learn E skill at level 1. The first thing you do is "divine justice" when you meet someone. One of the reasons for bringing this up is that Jarvan IV was buffed twice in patches 12.12 and 12.14.

The fixed six-second duration of [War Rhythm] has been changed to decrease as the player levels up, and at max level it only takes three seconds to trigger.

The second update further increased the damage of Q and the cooldown of E.

It's a pity they didn't bring back the armor penetration from the Q skill.

but
That's enough.

The current Prince is like an alternative Gragas. Although he doesn't have Gragas's healing, he also doesn't have the uncertainty of Gragas's ultimate. After all, you can miss with EQ, but it's still very difficult to miss with your ultimate. He is a very useful top laner for initiating team fights.

In Ale's eyes
He always felt that he had been tricked by the club.

I'm attacking Luo Ji?

I even made him choose a counter-pick prince to counter my Kennen?

Biyang's.

Could you please match him with some opponents of similar strength? What's the difference between this and sending Sukuna to fight Vegeta?
Just say you want him dead!
