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

"Nice!"

The moment the rat was knocked away, Ming's Thresh decisively followed up with his Q skill [Death Sentence] to hook it.

Uzi's Kalista then used the Martial Arts Stance to leap forward, stabbing the Twitch with her spear once and twice.

Although Meiko decisively applied Polymorph to Uzi, Uzi was clearly disgusted by Lulu and switched to Cleanse instead.

Almost the instant the polymorph took effect, he instantly broke free of the control effect, without affecting his output rhythm at all.

[Tear]!

The spear was pulled out, and the rat fell down.

First Blood!

The atmosphere immediately heated up!

"A truly spectacular tower dive!"

In the commentary booth, Ji De praised, "Xiang Guo's EQ flash was so decisive! Twitch is already difficult to lane in the bottom lane, and now he's going to miss two whole waves of experience. You could say he's practically invisible in the early game."

"Fortunately, both the Prince and Thresh were low on health from tanking the tower, so Meiko was able to safely farm both waves of minions under the tower."

This is from EDG's team voice chat.

Watching the prince, barely alive, run into the jungle, Iboy couldn't help but purse his lips and ask in a low voice:

"Can the prince be killed?"

In the previous two best-of-five knockout matches, he had a smooth laning phase. But today, Uzi's laning strength dealt a heavy blow to Iboy, and his behavior became visibly frustrated.

"Don't chase him, don't chase him."

"We probably can't catch up."

  

Li Yi and Ming Kai were in agreement.

The prince's EQ will immediately improve, and he can use his displacement ability to jump over the dragon pit to escape at any time.

Secondly, the Prince can start ganking once he reaches level two, while Nocturne has to focus on farming jungle camps and leveling up in the early game, and his rhythm cannot withstand any interruption.

The game has been going on for six minutes.

With a significant advantage in the bottom lane, RNG secured the first Infernal Dragon.

With the bottom lane completely freed up, Ming's roaming space also opened up, and he began to control vision in the river and jungle entrances, and the pace of the game gradually entered RNG's familiar territory.

"RNG's vision control is excellent! Ming placed a control ward at the entrance to the upper river beforehand, which actually spotted the level 5 Nightmare," Remember explained.

"Knowing that Nightmare won't level up to six in a short time, Mlxg is preparing to strike again!"

The camera pans to the middle lane.

Li Yi's Orianna and Xiaohu's Ryze still maintain a delicate balance.

Ryze only attempted to trade blows after stacking two runes, taking advantage of the speed boost and shield granted by his Q skill. Li Yi didn't even bother to retaliate, simply using his E skill [Command: Defense] to mitigate the damage.

But this balance.

The game was disrupted by the Demacian flag that suddenly appeared behind the clockwork!

The next second, the prince rushed out from the shadow of F6, and the trajectory of his EQ combo blocked Orianna's route back to the tower.

Knowing he couldn't use Flash now, Li Yi pressed S to stop in place.

First, cast E on yourself to block some of the damage.

Then, he threw the puppet in his hand at the front-line soldiers who were already low on health, and the last bit of experience he gained filled the progress bar.

Level 6!

Because his position was blocked, Ryze decisively followed up with a QEQWQ combo, which, combined with the damage from the Prince, reduced Li Yi's health to one-fifth.

flash!

The moment he broke free from Ryze's W [Rune Binding], Li Yi decisively used Flash to return to the tower. At the same time, because the distance suddenly increased, the puppet he had thrown back into his hand returned.

Followed by.

The pulse energy field of W skill [Command: Noise] lit up under his feet, and the burst of movement speed allowed Li Yi to dodge Ryze's Q skill that followed.

"Wow, what a pity." Xiaohu's magnetic voice rang out in RNG's voice chat, "It seems he leveled up W to level 3, his movement speed is a bit high."

"It's okay, I switched with him."

Mlxg caught a glimpse of Nightmare rushing from the river and knew he couldn't escape this wave.

As Orianna's movement speed gradually decreased, Mlxg used Jarvan IV's W [Golden Shield] to slow her down, and finally finished her off with a Q.

"LeeE remained very calm in this wave. He didn't use Flash immediately, but instead chose to finish off the low-health minions first, relying on the health gained from the level up to survive for an extra second."

"Because Xiangguo had already used Flash when he dove the tower in the bottom lane, he could only be traded for by the tower this time because he had been tanking the tower for too long," Remember said.

Rita added, "But RNG actually came out ahead in this fight. Orianna not only gained extra experience from the wave, but also gave up a valuable Flash. We know that traditional mages without mobility become extremely passive in the mid lane after losing Flash."

[Cup King is such a noob! He should have just used Flash to escape!]

[It's hard to say. If he flashes directly, he won't be able to level up and might not be able to withstand Ryze's combo. Also, Ryze will use Flash + EW to lock him down, preventing him from getting the movement speed from W... But regardless, Li Yi still makes things very comfortable for his teammates.]

[What's the "comfortable" meme? And what's "cup king"?]

[Li Yi himself said in an interview that he wants to make his teammates comfortable, so his role is similar to that of a cup.]

[This was clearly a win for RNG. Guo's one kill had the effect of two, while Cup's kill only made things easier for the opponent.]

[Guess whether Cup King will build Mercury's Treads or Ninja Tabi this game?]

[Neither of these, what kind of equipment is this??]

A dark blue ring lay quietly in Li Yi's equipment slot. Meanwhile, because the prince, who was killed by the turret, had his head counted as Clockwork's, a small number "2" had appeared next to the ring.

Dark Seal!

"Did LeeE buy a Killing Ring?"

Rita raised her voice in confusion, "This doesn't seem like LeeE's usual style, does it?"

She paused, then added, "And as far as I know, the pick rate of Mejai's Soulstealer in professional matches is actually very low. Its audience is basically limited to mage assassins with multiple dashes like Kassadin and LeBlanc, or artillery mages like Xerath and Ziggs who can poke from afar."

"Orianna's range isn't very long, and she relies heavily on Flash... If she can't stack up her Mejai's Soulstealer and build it into Mejai's Soulstealer, it might slow down her pace. I personally don't have a high opinion of her."

After acquiring a Dark Seal, an Amplification Tome, and Straw Sandals, Li Yi immediately headed towards the jungle.

This is the recommended build.

It also stemmed from the repeated trial and error during yesterday's losing streak in ranked games.

Whether it's Morellonomicon, the most popular item for Orianna in the current version, or Ardent Censer, which Li Yi personally prefers, they both have one problem:

Individual pieces are too weak in combat!

Even disregarding the fact that he has low magic power and slow wave clear, in early small-scale team fights, as long as his R skill is dodged, his remaining role is that of a super minion that can apply a shield.

This style of play, which puts pressure on teammates in the early stages and then takes over the game in the later stages, is not something that Li Yi, a master of mixed strategies, can accept.

Therefore, his strategy was to first build a Mejai's Soulstealer and use high AP to sustain early-game damage.

Why not choose cheaper magic penetration boots that deal more damage?

The answer is quite simple.

Why would a mid-laner who only knows how to push lanes and roam choose an item that doesn't provide AP and can't push lanes effectively?
