LOL: What does "mid-lane hybrid expert" mean?

Upon hearing this, the chat room became even more silent.

"Come on, new viewers who just entered the live stream, please follow me for free. Today I'll teach you something real: how to remember the enemy's Flash timer?"

Li Yi recalled the time when Kindred used Flash, and typed three identical messages in the chat box.

JUG 8.45

"We saw that Kindred used Flash at 4 minutes and 30 seconds. The normal cooldown of Flash is 300 seconds. As a jungler, he will most likely have the 'Insight' talent, so the cooldown is reduced to 255 seconds. That means the enemy jungler's Flash will be ready again at 8 minutes and 45 seconds."

"Whether it's ranked or professional play, our mission is to make our team's carry play comfortably and make the opposing team's carry play uncomfortably."

"So remember, as 'support' characters, we can be 'lazy' in terms of mechanics, but we absolutely cannot be 'lazy' in terms of mentality! Precisely controlling Flash cooldown down to the second is also about creating a good output environment for the carry..."

[I understand, bro only needs a C, but we novices have to think about a lot more, right?]

Oh no, this seems to actually work.

The old man has finally handed over the Burning Technique!

8 minutes and 30 seconds, on the river.

Having spotted Kindred through pre-arranged vision, Li Yi quickly pinged the opponent's Flash.

Kindred has excellent range and skill mechanics, but at the cost of having the lowest base movement speed of all heroes.

I saw Li Yi's signal.

The jungler, Jarvan IV, immediately understood the situation, using W to slow Kindred and then EQ to knock her up. Li Yi, who arrived shortly after, finished off the remaining damage and secured the kill.

"Kindred didn't even bother to use his ultimate (R) this time, clearly he's given up. So let's have a guessing game: what was his mindset when he tried to invade the enemy jungle without Flash?"

A. Impatience because there were still 0 marks after eight minutes.

B. Confident because Flash is about to improve

C. Because I wanted to tell the mid-laner Talon, "If you don't come help me, I'm gonna die right now!"

D. All of the above...

After returning home and crafting a blazing incense burner, Li Yi signaled to his teammates that they could engage in a team fight.

Ardent Censer received an epic buff in Season 7, not only increasing attack speed benefits but also adding an effect that heals for 20 health on basic attacks.

A host of attack speed-focused ADCs have risen to prominence, and among them, the best driver of the Ardent Censer is undoubtedly Kalista, whose basic attacks have a dash mechanism.

as predicted.

Imp, buffed by the incense burner, dominated team fights. Despite the opponent's repeated attempts to focus fire and counterattack, Li Yi used his W skill [Ingenious Idea] and R skill [Wild Growth] to thwart them all.

After 20 minutes, Uzi failed to control his temperature and prepared to take a cold shower to calm down before surrendering.

The support player naturally dared not disobey the will of the gods, while the argument between the mid and jungle players had shifted from the game content to a competition of real-world wealth, entering the stage of "automatically unlocking a perfect life when behind," with their minds no longer on the game.

Top lane?

The top laner is still under pressure.

[I've learned the strategy, but where can I find Kalista, who can take on five opponents at once?]

After watching this game, all I can say is that the difference between us Gold and Silver players and pros isn't awareness or skill, but rather having an Imp-level teammate.

[Just got back from Uzi's stream. Mid and jungle have been relegated to the acting crew by God.]

Laning against streamers is really tough, because if you don't out-farm these noobs by 20 CS, your teammates will think you're being out-farmed...

Li Yi glanced at the pop-up system settlement panel: the basic reward had been increased from 10 points to 20 points.

It seems the system also considers matches with Uzi and Imp to be more competitive.

"Goodbye everyone, I have training early tomorrow morning." Li Yi yawned and turned off the live stream plugin.

Well known.

EDG practices military-style management, with very strict requirements on the players' living and training schedules.

Despite having a system to help improve his strength, Li Yi would not consider skipping his daily training.

Although EDG has had many scandals since its inception, it has indeed produced a number of honors and outstanding players, which is enough to prove the merits of its management model.

Let's start over.

Li Yi still wants to make a name for himself in his professional career.

After all, he was a game streamer in his previous life. If he were to still focus solely on making money through live streaming after being reborn...

If we don't change anything, wouldn't it be a waste of our rebirth?

-----------------

"That's... over?"

Inside the EDG meeting room, the boss, Edward Zhu, broke the silence first.

His gaming skills were the lowest among them; he could only be considered a League of Legends enthusiast.

In his opinion, Li Yi just farmed minions in the early game and then mindlessly spammed WER on the AD carry's portrait during mid-game team fights, which somehow managed to force EDG's old rival Uzi to surrender.

"This Li Yi plays like a team-oriented mid-laner, Mingkai, what do you think?" As the recommender, Meiko naturally couldn't directly call him a "noob".

Mingkai crossed his arms: "It's not a matter of whether he's in a group or not, he's really that kind of person, a very rare breed..."

Very rare!

Rather than saying that EDG relies heavily on their Korean mid-laner, it's more accurate to say that they are actually used to playing a style centered around their mid-laner.

Scout, the current mid laner, has the highest jungle monster usage rate among all mid laners in the LPL. Simply put, he uses lifesteal to make the whole team contribute.

The previous two mid laners, U and Pawn, also played the role of late-game carry in the team.

Li Yi's playstyle of acting like a dog for his teammates...

"Let me summarize. This player's strengths are a good overall understanding of the game and solid last-hitting skills; his weaknesses are that his hero pool is too unpredictable, and he's not very willing to make plays," Abu, who had been watching from the sidelines, added for Mingkai.

"If it's a top laner, that's fine, but if it's a mid laner..."

Although Abu didn't finish his sentence, everyone understood what he meant.

It's already Season 7.

Surely there are still people who don't know that League of Legends is a game about the mid and jungle, right?

To put it more absolutely, the mid laner's playstyle determines the style of the entire team; the mid laner's performance is the team's performance.

Looking at the salary structure, mid-laners are almost always the highest-paid players on their teams. Even VG, a team at the bottom of the LPL standings, spends a lot of money to poach Easyhoon, a champion mid-laner, instead of using rookie mid-laners who could easily cause them to drop out of the league.

"Fortunately, it's only a temporary replacement. His training attitude is pretty good, so we can give him a try as a substitute." Abu changed the subject and decided to promote Li Yi to the first team.

This type of player wants to take shortcuts.

He needs to be properly disciplined!

There's another point Abu didn't explicitly state: he was drawn to Li Yi's penchant for entertaining others.

The atmosphere within EDG during the Spring Split was extremely high-pressure. Whenever a teammate tried to say something cheeky to lighten the mood, Scout would shut them down with a "Don't talk nonsense."

Players like Li Yi, with their strong sense of humor, are great at improving team morale, at least preventing a "fight to the death" second playthrough.

At worst, they could put him on a live stream and have him do some promotion for EDG, just like some old bald guy... It seems like a sure-fire way to make money.

Thinking about this...

Abu nodded in satisfaction.
