League: I really didn't tank!

Chapter 264 Soldier, what are you doing?

The match began slowly, with both sides' heroes quickly emerging from the fountain.

"To be honest, it's been a long time since I've seen Tree play Jayce," sighed Guan Daxiao. "Ever since Tree became the FMVP, he's been constantly targeted by opponents in the draft phase!"

Jayce's strength has been steadily increasing since the armor penetration item was reworked in Season 7. As the creator of Jayce, Chen Dongqing would certainly not be able to play this champion.

It has to be said that we have to thank the emergence of AD Kennen. If this champion hadn't taken Jayce's ban spot, Chen Dongqing really wouldn't have been able to play him.

But now that he's been selected, Chen Dongqing naturally has to step up his game and put on a good performance.

If QG plays Jayce poorly this game, G2 and KT might not prioritize Jayce, causing QG's draft advantage to disappear.

"As for his talent, Brother Tree still chose his signature Wind Rider build, instead of the recently popular Deathfire Rune or the currently trending Thunder Rider build. He's a conservative!"

In the early days of Season 7, when Deathfire Varus was popular, Jayce also became popular with the same rune. However, like Varus, this playstyle was replaced by Thunderlord's Decree after Deathfire's AD bonus was nerfed.

But Chen Dongqing wasn't interested in either of those talents.

They all have the talent to be slackers.

Wind Rider is the god!

The minion wave slowly moved towards the lane. Chen Dongqing's move was quite subtle. Jayce went to the lane early and, before the minion wave clashed, he baited a wave of G2 minions' aggro, then disappeared into the bush to disperse the aggro.

This has two advantages.

Firstly, this will unify the aggro of the enemy minions, allowing them to focus fire on their own first minion, creating a rapid focus fire effect. Secondly, the minion wave will converge closer to G2's tower, meaning the next wave of G2 minions will arrive faster, resulting in quicker support.

After such an operation, if neither side's heroes pay attention, the minion wave will slowly push back towards QG's tower.

The second benefit is that it will cause the attack frequency of the minions on both sides to be inconsistent.

As for what the consequences of this will be?

You'll find out soon.

Chen Dongqing, wielding the Italian cannon, pushed forward directly to the line, immediately giving Galio experience points.

Expect, who was already extremely afraid of Chen Dongqing before the competition, suddenly panicked.

No, buddy, give me a break!

If you can't get experience at level 1, how are you supposed to play this game?

Fortunately, he built Doran's Shield this game, and Galio is quite tanky now, so he can consider going up and auto-attacking Jayce a couple of times before pushing the minion wave back.

With that in mind, Expect stepped forward and positioned himself within Jayce's attack range.

If Jayce attacks Galio, he will attract the aggro of a whole wave of minions. G2 minions will attack Jayce, and QG minions will attack G2 minions. This will inevitably lead to an imbalance in the minion wave, allowing them to quickly push to G2's tower.

Even so, Chen Dongqing certainly wouldn't let go of Galio, who was being offered to him so readily.

He glanced at the minion wave and carefully observed the minions' attack animations. Just before the minions launched their attacks, he unleashed an AQ combo at Galio!

The next instant, Jayce's projectile flew rapidly and hit Galio, and at the same time, G2's minions also launched their attacks!

Because Galio was damaged, the G2 minions' aggro was immediately drawn to him, but because they had just attacked once, the long attack interval of the minions made it difficult for them to launch their next attack!

It's similar to using a card to defend a turret's basic attack.

It wasn't until then that the second benefit finally materialized.

Because the attack frequencies of the minions on both sides were inconsistent, QG's minions launched a preemptive attack!

A round of attacks hit the G2 minions, stealing their aggro back from Jayce!

G2 minions can only turn their accumulated basic attacks towards QG minions.

In other words, Chen Dongqing's basic attack did not attract any attacks from the minions, and the minions on both sides continued to fight as usual!

Expect frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

Why isn't this soldier hitting anyone?

He refused to believe it and attacked Jess again.

Chen Dongqing followed the same method.

The soldier's hatred was transferred over and then transferred back, but nothing happened.

?

Expect knew that if he didn't control the minion wave back, he wouldn't be able to win the game.

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up to continue giving Jess A.

Jayce fired another basic attack, but the result was the same. The minion just turned its head to look at Jayce, and then turned its head back.

Galio took three auto attacks and a Q from Jayce, and his health dropped to less than half, but Jayce hasn't been hit by a single minion yet.

Why?! Why did you A him?!

WTF!

Expect was filled with disbelief. He even thought about getting up to call a timeout and ask the referee if there was a problem.

This is different from the League of Legends he plays!

Chen Dongqing sneered and pressed forward again, wanting to see if Galio still dared to be so stubborn.

This time, Expect finally stopped being stubborn and obediently left the experience zone.

Chen Dongqing was satisfied and turned to leave, seizing an extremely opportune moment to finish off the melee minion with a single Q.

Expect, on the other hand, could only drink from the medicine bottle, helplessly watching his minions die, gaining no experience points, his heart bleeding.

And most importantly, after Jayce pulled back the minion wave at the start of the game, the minion wave actually pushed back!

In other words, his ability to withstand pressure is meaningless; he will only lose more and more money!

Soon, the second wave of minions appeared. Chen Dongqing crouched in the bushes for a while, waiting for the minions to enter combat before stepping out of the bushes to continue overseeing the fight!

Meanwhile, millions of viewers in live broadcast rooms of major sporting events around the world clearly saw the entire process.

Countless question marks and exclamation marks floated up in the live broadcast room.

【? ? ? 】

Why aren't the minions attacking Jayce?

Coach, I want to learn!

Is this a bug?

[It shouldn't be, Brother Tree is a real schemer, he must have some kind of trick up his sleeve.]

[Case solved! Jayce attacked from behind a minion, so the minion couldn't see him.]

It has to be said that this operation was truly beyond their expectations, and the number of comments in the live stream suddenly surged.

The three LPL commentators stared at each other in disbelief at what had happened.

After much discussion, Colonel Guan could only say, "We can only wait for Brother Shu to answer this question for us after the competition."

Inside the hotel where the athletes are resting.

When the KT members saw this, a hint of suspicion flashed through their minds.

Peanut was completely baffled. He turned to his mid-laner and asked, "Yuanshuo, do you know how that was done?"

Although Pawn hadn't played much, he could vaguely guess what was going on. Just as he was about to explain, he heard Smeb say, "He's blocking the creeps' aggro."

Immediately afterwards, Smeb quickly explained the principle behind what had just happened. Everyone present was a professional player with a deep understanding of the game, and they all understood immediately.

"Is that so?" Peanut asked with a hint of surprise. "No wonder it's Ilex, they can even think of something like this."

Smeb shrugged, seemingly unaffected by the situation.

He's played so many games against Ilex that he has a deep understanding of this monster.

In fact, this technique is simply another way of using the card's basic attack on the defensive tower.

Ilex has demonstrated this technique of using the tower's basic attack countless times; it's nothing to him.

Looking at the movement of the top lane minions, Smeb said, "Judging from this, Expect's laning phase is over."

Returning to the game, the top lane laning phase has indeed ended.

With the minion wave pushing forward and Galio not even in a position to farm, it's already a dead end for him.

Or to put it another way, if Chen Dongqing lets Galio come up to last-hit minions now, would he dare to do so? Galio's passive AOE attack would push the minion wave even faster, and then Jayce would hold the minion wave in front of the tower for two and a half minutes, allowing Galio to die instantly!

Left with no other option, Expect had to call for help: "Hey, can someone help me untangle this knot?"

"???" This question left G2 jungler Trick completely baffled.

What the heck? Who needs to clear the lane within the first minute of the game?

What lane control ability can a hero have in the first minute of the game?

He switched the camera to the road and was immediately speechless.

It really needs to be solved.

How did they do that?

But the problem is, how can he help untangle the thread?

Galio is a tanky role in G2, so Graves' route plan is to start in the top half of the map, farm the entire map to ensure development while protecting the bottom lane, and steal jungle camps as much as possible.

We've only just finished clearing the top half of the jungle; the bottom half is still there.

If you send him to the top lane to clear the wave at this point, his jungle will be completely destroyed.

"I can't come to help you in the top lane, Bro," Trick said helplessly. "You just have to tough it out in the top lane; I need to focus on farming."

Expect sighed helplessly and said, "OK."

Those who can play top lane in professional leagues have all had their mentality honed to a certain extent, especially these blue-collar top laners who rely on endurance and resilience. Even if they are losing the lane, their mentality will not collapse.

Anyway, if the opponent raises him up, it won't be him who dies.

On the top lane, Chen Dongqing had given up on suppressing experience; the experience from the three melee minions at the start was enough.

What he needs to do now is try to finish off the enemy as much as possible, and then let Galio come over to finish them off.

Galio is a champion with AOE damage all over his body. Whenever he last-hit minions, he will inevitably push the lane. The faster the enemy pushes the lane, the more advantageous it is for him.

as predicted.

Expect waits until a minion is low on health, then uses Q to slash it. Although it kills the melee minion, the area damage of the Q skill inevitably hits other minions, making the minion wave worse.

Chen Dongqing sneered and continued to deliver the finishing blow.

The minion wave automatically and slowly pushed towards QG's tower, and Expect had fewer and fewer opportunities to last-hit minions.

As the fourth wave of minions spawned and pushed the minion wave to QG's top tower, Expect completely lost the opportunity to last-hit minions and could only watch from the back.

Fortunately, G2 had a lot of minions stacked up, and the attack order was very messed up, so Jayce could no longer use minions to block attacks like before, so Galio still had the experience to rely on.

Expect thought for a moment, then walked to the river and placed an eye there.

He hadn't anticipated having to place wards to prevent ganks while facing a disadvantageous laning phase.

Ironically, the moment he placed the ward, he saw a prince walk into the bushes.

F**K!

I'm already in such a miserable state, and you still want to arrest me!

Expect turned and ran, but Xiangguo was determined to kill him, and the prince chased after him straight away!

The two sides were at a very delicate distance, and the prince's emotional intelligence was actually within reach.

But Xiangguo wasn't in a hurry. He followed along, observing Galio's movements and Jayce's position.

Galio then used his E to step back, followed by a punch, and charged straight out!

Even though Galio has recovered a lot of health thanks to Doran's Shield, he's only around 70% health. In that state, he can't withstand a burst of damage from Jarvan IV and Jayce!

Xiangguo watched Galio leave without any panic, and continued to communicate via voice chat.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Xiangguo urged, "They're about to run away!"

"What's the rush?" Chen Dongqing remained calm. "He can't possibly run away."

Jess unleashed a speed boost cannon, but this time Chen Dongqing didn't use a vertical cannon. Instead, he placed the speed boost cannon further away, next to the prince.

Although the acceleration cannon is slightly slower, it is a sure hit against a clumsy Galio who has already used his E skill!

Xiangguo slightly twisted his body, getting the speed boost, and then Prince charged forward, bringing Galio back into the EQ range!

EQ combo!

Expect can only be pressed to flash!

Two golden lights flashed one after the other!

Countless spectators stared wide-eyed, and then cheers erupted!

"Xiangguo's perfect EQ flash chase forced Galio, who had flashed away, into the air!" Guan Daxiao's voice carried a clear hint of surprise. "Shu-ge is here too!"

Jayce also stepped onto the acceleration gate, switched to hammer form and charged forward, landing a Q on Galio!

Expect is utterly helpless.

He activated his W [Duran's Shield] to taunt the two, then quickly ran away, but this did not help him survive.

Once the taunt ends, the Prince's Golden Shield slows him down, and Jayce catches up with an AoE to knock him away. Jayce then transforms and lands another ranged auto-attack, securing First Blood!

As expected, cheers erupted from the stands. QG fans were overjoyed to see their team secure the first blood so quickly, and they cheered enthusiastically from the stands.

Commentator Su Xiaoyan also chimed in, "Galio used Flash but was still killed. In that case, he might not be able to play at all in the laning phase."

After killing the enemy, Jayce turned around and continued to slowly clear and control the lane, playing quite elegantly.

At this moment, Su Xiaoyan glanced at her opponent's last-hit.

Galio has only had four hits so far.

Because of these four last hits, Expect can't even afford small items, so he can only buy a reusable potion and a control ward before going online.

It's enough to make men speechless and women weep.

"And most importantly, since the minion wave was in front of QG's tower, Expect didn't need to use Teleport to go to lane. He chose to go to lane instead, which resulted in him losing a lot of minions!"

"But it doesn't matter. Saving this TP will definitely benefit him, and Jayce is about to lose control of the lane. The minion wave will soon push back towards G2's tower. His good days are just around the corner."

Colonel Guan watched this scene and analyzed Expect's predicament with a grin.

League of Legends is not like Dota because it doesn't have a deny mechanic, and Jayce can't hold off minion waves. After controlling the minion wave for a while, he will eventually lose control.

Chen Dongqing didn't force the lane to stay in place, letting the minion wave push into the tower. After finishing off a wave of minions under the tower, the minion wave was reset and moved out of the tower. Galio also walked back to the lane, and the minion wave began to push towards the enemy tower.

Chen Dongqing glanced at his experience bar, which was about to reach level five, and then at Galio, who was only level three. He then cruelly continued to press forward.

Expect understood what Jess meant.

Experience can be gained through experience, but not through physical combat.

Fine, I won't eat it!

Galio crouched behind, and the minion wave began to slowly advance.

Jayce deliberately sped up the push, and the minion wave was quickly pushed to G2's top tower.

Just as Expect breathed a sigh of relief and was about to enter the tower defense phase, another problem arose.

The prince emerged from the river and swaggered over to Jayce's side, clearly intending to prevent Galio from taking the lane.

"No way! Is this some kind of insane move?" Colonel Guan was shocked by what he saw. "Is he going straight for a tower dive? Galio is at full health! And Graves is right there!"

Expect didn't know how to express his doubts.

Seriously, buddy, are you crazy?

Now is clearly the time for junglers to clear the second round of jungle camps, aren't you afraid of being counter-ganked?

"Bro, help me!" Expect repeatedly sent out help signals from the side, indicating that the male gunner in the Stone Beetle camp should quickly come up and help him.

"OK, OK, bro!" Trick immediately put down the jungle monster he was holding and headed to support the top lane.

Even though his support arrived quickly, it was still somewhat late.

Because QG's top and jungle players are always swift and decisive, they take action as soon as the minion wave enters the tower, there's not much to say about it!

Xiangguo knew Galio didn't have Flash, so he carried the flag and charged into the tower, slammed it in with a basic attack, and then used his EQ combo to knock Galio up!

Chen Dongqing's QEWRQAAAE combo is maxed out!

A level 3 Galio couldn't withstand the burst damage from two powerful heroes; his health bar plummeted and he was instantly wiped out!

Fortunately, Galio managed to keep Jarvan IV under the tower with a series of E and W before he died, and Graves quickly followed up and traded two shots with him.

But the stomach is locked up.

When Xiangguo came to the top lane to dive the tower, he didn't intend to survive.

That's how he plays. Give him a chance to trade one for one, and he'll always do it without hesitation!

Although they were replaced, it didn't stop the cheers and screams of the QG fans in the audience!

"Galio's dead again! He's going to lose a huge amount of minions during his respawn time! Galio still only has four CS!" Remember exclaimed. "He still can't buy items after going back to base. This top lane is completely unplayable!"

After Galio respawned, he quickly teleported back online, and you could see that he still had Doran's Shield and a potion in his hand.

Turning around, Jess had already paid for the serrated dagger in full.

Would it be easier to fight against a Doran's Shield with a Serrated Dirk and a Doran's Blade?

Make a checkmark!

"And Tree Bro's dual summons are still available, that's the most insane part!" Colonel Guan exclaimed repeatedly. "I don't even know how this Galio will be played after he goes live!"

As it turns out, Galio and the like will indeed be unplayable once they are released.

Jayce walked to the lane and just then saw Galio pushing the minion wave towards him.

Chen Dongqing didn't even look at the minion wave and immediately fired an acceleration cannon!

If the shot hits, Galio will die.

Boom!

A perfect prediction, a solid hit, and it took a huge chunk of Galio's health bar down!

However, Galio was tough and resilient, and this shot failed to trigger Jayce's Wind Rider.

But it's not a big problem.

Chen Dongqing used WR to switch forms and accelerate, then flashed and used Q to smash in!

After the hammer form Q hit, a blue light finally appeared under Jayce's feet. Chen Dongqing used his 2.5 attack speed to perfectly kite with three consecutive hammers, then used E to hammer Galio back, switched to cannon form and hit twice, easily taking the kill.

At six minutes, Galio's score was 0-3-0, level four, and 14 CS.

It's completely rotten.

If a random player in a ranked match were to receive this treatment, most would probably just choose to AFK (away from keyboard).

Before the situation in the top lane had calmed down, another wave of trouble arose in the bottom lane!

Uzi and Xiaoming played extremely aggressively in lane, and then seized a perfect opportunity!

Uzi's Ice Slash slowed down and stuck to the opponent's Kog'Maw, relentlessly attacking him while yelling in voice chat, "Shi Senming, follow up with your skills!"

Xiao Ming felt immense pressure, but he moved swiftly. Seeing that he couldn't hit the target with his skills, he simply flashed forward and threw a QWW combo at the big mouth!

Even was so slowed down that his scalp tingled. He knew that if he didn't dodge, he would definitely be stuck to death!

But even if he dodges, he will still die.

As soon as Kog'Maw flashed away, Zyra used her E to spread out and trap Kog'Maw in place!

Uzi had already activated his Q [Marksman's Focus], unleashing a barrage of icy arrows with a full stack of [Fervor of Battle], instantly killing Kog'Maw on the spot!

They also secured a kill in the bottom lane! Just over six minutes in, the kill score was already 4-1, and the gold lead had exceeded 2,000!

What a wonderful start!

It's 2:30 AM in China right now, and the live broadcast room is packed with people.

[This G2 team is so bad! It's unbearable to watch.]

The main problem is that the gap in the top lane is too big; Shu Ge and Xiang Guo are simply not playing like human beings.

[I don't know how they did it. G2's top laner is ridiculously bad. If I were in his lane, I'd pick Malphite and stand under the tower, and Maokai would still dive me from full health?]

[Yes, yes, yes, you pick a Malphite and stand under the tower, then Treant Protector farms a wave of minions to dive the tower, then Teleports back to lane and dives again. You'll be out of the game in three minutes.]

At this moment, Chen Dongqing could clearly hear a powerful shout entering his ear canal through the soundproofing and white noise.

Uz then scoffed, "With this level of skill, you dare to talk about putting pressure on me?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Dongqing licked his lips.

I don't know how to say it.

Looking back now, G2's AD carry probably didn't mean that.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

It's always a good thing to motivate your teammates.

Given such a huge economic disadvantage, it would be wishful thinking for the G2 to stabilize the situation.

This match turned into a tower-destroying race between QG's two dominant players.

But it's clear that the top laner can dismantle the enemy's defenses much faster.

Although G2's bot lane got killed in lane, they could at least still lane.

That's a level where you simply can't compete in lane.

When Galio returned to the game, he was already level four against level seven.

Seven minutes to suppress three levels, just by relying on the level advantage, he was already ahead by three Doran's Blades. How can you play this game?

A-P was going toe-to-toe with Goldwyn in the mid lane, but when the camera switched to the top lane, this was the scene that left everyone speechless.

How do you play this?

"Hey, bro," Ah P couldn't help but say, but after thinking about it, he took his words back.

He leaned forward, glancing past his jungler and at his top laner's status.

You can see that their top laner is in a daze, with a blank look in his eyes; he's clearly been completely stunned.

Ah P sighed; he couldn't say anything more.

They are the biggest victims.

But what A-P didn't know was that the director had just switched the camera to the middle lane, and coincidentally, the player's camera was also showing him.

His earlier action of peeking out was now on full display.

Countless players couldn't help but laugh at this scene, and they all took screenshots, which led to the creation of various memes.

Set the image to black and white, then add the caption, "Years later, I finally understood how vast the differences between people can be."

Then, below the Chinese text, add a bizarre English translation: "Expect, NMSL".

Of course, he wasn't much better off himself.

Before the game, Godwin made a promise that he would be able to roam once he reached level seven.

This can be considered a common node for push-lane mid laners.

Because level seven usually represents when their wave clear skill reaches level four, and their wave clear ability is fully developed.

The Ice Maiden is a perfect example; at level four, her Q skill is enough to clear a wave of minions with just two Qs, giving her a lane-pushing ability that surpasses Karma's and allowing her to gain control of the mid lane.

With this lane priority, Gordway headed straight for the bottom lane!

A solo roam by the Ice Maiden helped Uzi and Xiaoming successfully complete a triple dive into two lanes, and G2's bot lane also collapsed!

At the same time, Xiangguo's Prince ganked top again, using his ultimate to trap Galio, who once again met his demise.

Immediately afterwards, news came that G2's top and bottom defensive towers had been destroyed.

In just ten minutes, the economic gap between the two sides has reached 6!

Ultimately, the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt. G2 had chosen a mid-to-late game composition, so their early game fighting power was practically nonexistent.

QG launched a 41-minute push and quickly broke through two lanes of high ground!

Then, just over twenty minutes later, the five players, with the help of two lanes of super minions, pushed forward and easily won the game!

I finished writing one game in one go. The pace of this game was pretty good, and there wasn't a single weak point.

As for the basic attack technique mentioned in the article, I first saw it in one of Knight's ranked games. I will post a bonus chapter later to show you how it works.

I took a nucleic acid test today and it came back positive. Although I didn't have a high fever like the first time, I'm definitely getting a cold, runny nose, and a low-grade fever.

I barely managed to write 6,000 words today. I'll probably update less tomorrow, and if things get serious, I'll have to take a break.

Brothers, see you tomorrow if fate allows.

I'd also like to recommend a book by one of the author's friends; you might want to check it out if you're interested.
