League: Educating LPL is my duty.
Chapter 35 Line Authority
Faker lost the initiative once again after his Q skill was dodged. Li Chen seized the opportunity to unleash a QW combo, then continued to auto-attack minions, not even turning around after taking Cassiopeia's E.
Some people may think that mages have low attack power and mainly rely on skills to deal damage and farm minions, and that basic attacks are not important.
But in the early game, especially during the first three levels of the laning phase, every basic attack from the mage is very important.
To gain lane control and suppress your opponent, you can't make too many ineffective moves and you need to make reasonable choices between auto-attacking humans and minions. Sometimes, even if it means losing a little health, you must maintain the frequency of auto-attacking minions.
The mid-lane matchup that followed was basically a repeat of the two previous trades. Faker knew he couldn't continue like this, or he would never regain lane control.
However, the two exchanged skills too frequently in the early game. He used three Qs and hit Orianna with several E skills to find a health disadvantage, which made his mana insufficient to use so many skills to clear minions.
So before the third wave of cannon minions arrived, he chose to reduce his attack frequency and prepare to let the minion wave go under the tower to deal with it, thereby resetting the minion wave.
However, Li Chen saw through Faker's idea and also reduced his attack frequency, aiming to delay the time when the minion wave entered the tower until the third wave, because in S7, the first cannon minion came out with the third wave of minions.
Faker didn't resist further and accepted Orianna's choice. However, this gave Li Chen a roaming turn, allowing him to go to the jungle to cooperate with Clearlove and put pressure on the enemy jungler. This is why the jungler suffers the most when the mid laner is being pushed.
"Clearlove, after you reach level 3, go and steal the enemy's blue buff. I'll be there in a bit. Faker can't go this wave."
Upon hearing Li Chen's words, the factory manager nodded in understanding.
"Holy crap, stranger, you're dominating Faker in the mid lane? Are you out of your mind?"
"However, what does it mean that C dodged Faker's three Qs in a row?"
"I don't take damage from non-targeted skills, that's my carry build."
"He seems to have gotten up too quickly today, let's see!"
As the third wave of minions arrived, Li Chen began to clear them faster, using all his skills and basic attacks on the minions.
Seeing Orianna so recklessly pushing the lane and using her skills, Faker, limited by his mana, could only predict and cast a Q, but unfortunately it missed, and that was the end of it.
His mana pool no longer allows him to use his ultimate skill on Clockwerk without any damage.
Li Chen quickly pushed the minion wave under the tower. At this time, Factory's excavator had reached the blue buff and was confronting the enemy jungler Lee Sin.
Li Chen rushed over, but Faker had pushed most of his siege minions into the tower, so he couldn't go to support him and could only send a message to signal him.
The blind man saw the enemy mid laner coming, but his own Faker couldn't come. Just as he was about to give up the blue buff and try to trade it in the enemy's blue jungle, the top laner, Wither, sent a signal that he was on his way.
"No, we can't take this blue buff. The enemy Fiora is coming. We have to retreat," Clearlove said.
Li Chen frowned. The camera flashed across the top lane and he saw that his team's Black and White Riven was already at a disadvantage. Although Black and White's health was not much lower than Fiora's, Riven had already used up her health potion, while Fiora still had hers and was also one level higher than Riven.
This can also be seen as a manifestation of Li Chen's insufficient awareness, making it impossible for him to keep track of the specific situation of each line in the overall situation at all times.
"If we can't take the blue buff, we'll fight. Kill Fiora."
Li Chen really didn't want to waste this opportunity to move around, so after a very brief moment of thought, he changed his target.
He also sent a message to Riven in the top lane, signaling her to come and help in the fight.
At this time, Black Riven was only level 2. When she saw Li Chen signal her to go and provide support, she hesitated for a moment but still followed Fiora to the river.
The factory manager's excavator began to retreat. The Blind Man used his Q skill on him, but instead of rushing up, he waited to flank the excavator and Orianna together with Fiora.
Because Li Chen was the first to move, he met up with the excavator ahead of time. Then the two of them walked towards the blind man, widening the distance between themselves and the Sword Maiden.
The meaning is clear: first, drag the blind man's Q over, so he doesn't have a chance to kick it up.
The withered Fiora was positioned slightly ahead of the riverbank bushes when she saw the two trying to enter the jungle to find Lee Sin, so she quickly followed them.
Fiora hadn't arrived yet, so Lee Sin didn't dare to go in alone. Soon, Lee Sin's Q skill mark disappeared, and Li Chen said, "Don't hold back your skills when fighting Fiora."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chen activated his sprint and turned around, using QWE to trigger Thunderlord's Decree on the Fiora who was following behind. Clearlove also turned around and used E to approach Wither, then used Q on the ground followed by Flash to knock her up.
Withered anticipated that W would block the attack and felt that he still had room to maneuver, so he didn't immediately use Q to get over the wall. Instead, he chose to poke at the excavator's weakness, hoping to stall until the blind man arrived.
Li Chen's skills were on cooldown, so he could only use basic attacks to attack Orianna. The Lee Sin then used his ward to get close to Li Chen, slammed the ground and followed up with a basic attack, trying to coordinate with Fiora to kill Orianna first.
But just then, Black and White Riven unleashed her power.
He leveled up his Q and E skills at level two and used them both to travel. He had just arrived near the river bushes.
Seeing that Li Chen and the factory manager had used all their moves to kill the Sword Maiden, in order to avoid losing and becoming a Class A war criminal, he directly used the League's supreme secret technique - DF Double Combo.
Riven's flash-ignite combo was something Kuwei really didn't expect.
Now that he was severely injured, his ability to recover health with health potions and by exploiting weaknesses was halved. In addition, the factory manager attacked him immediately after waking up, quickly reducing his health to around 100.
Orianna still had 300 health left, and it was impossible to kill her in a second or two. With no other choice, he had to use Flash to jump over the wall, hoping to escape.
But Li Chen decisively followed up with a flash, using his sprint to accelerate and unleash an AQ combo to secure the kill on the withered enemy.
The blind man saw that the withered one was dead, while the snake woman had just set off from the path next to the tower and had only reached the position behind the blue buff wall. Knowing that this wave was over, she could only use her Q skill, which had just been recharged, to hit the blue buff, and then use the second Q to retreat from the battlefield.
He dared not use Q on Li Chen's Clockwork, otherwise he would have to use Flash to escape if Li Chen dodged it.
"Let's retreat, we can't fight this blue buff anymore."
Li Chen was in poor condition at the moment, and his mana was almost depleted. He couldn't even reconnect to the enemy, so he had no choice but to retreat and find a place in the river to recall to the city.
After this jungle team fight, Li Chen got the first blood, but he also lost a wave of minions in lane, and both summoner spells were gone. Although he didn't lose, he definitely didn't gain much either.
Back on the lane, Li Chen arrived before Cassiopeia and took the opportunity to control a small wave of minions.
However, once the Cassiopeia was online, he wisely relinquished lane control.
The main problem is that he doesn't have two summoner spells right now. Once he crosses the river, the Cassiopeia can use her ground spell on him, and if the Blind Monk comes, he'll definitely die. He can only play defensively and farm minions to develop.
With the advantage, Faker seemed to want to vent the pressure Orianna had put on him in the early game, so he played very aggressively, whittling down Orianna's health every now and then.
However, Li Chen had an extra kill ring compared to Faker, so trading blows wasn't a loss for him, and he and Faker started trading damage against each other.
Having learned from past mistakes, Faker now uses the ground-binding Q combo when playing against Li Chen, and never uses Q alone. This method is very effective, but it also drains his mana quickly.
So, around five and eight minutes into the night, both of them went back to resupply, which was quite frequent.
Seeing his Flash ability about to recharge, Li Chen felt much more confident and said directly to the screen, "Alright guys, it's time for the streamer to show off. Watch me solo kill Faker."
"I won't say who was trapped under the tower for five minutes."
"Streamer, you play so well, why are you afraid to leave the tower?"
"C frowned, then said, 'Next up, Lava Giant.'"
"Not getting out-farmed by Faker, not getting solo-killed, and even getting an extra kill is already pretty good."
"To be fair, C played this Clockwork build quite well."
"Oh yeah, right, right, you guys will be able to praise him as the best school in the world soon."
