Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 314 Sorry, I treated Faker like a minion!

At seventeen minutes, the kill score was 4-2, with RNG still holding a significant kill advantage.

However, the economic disadvantage at this time was very real, with the 800 yuan economic difference concentrated on Letme and Xiangguo.

The director also switched to the economic map at the right time. At this time, Khan's Tentacle Mom was 2200 gold ahead of Letme's Ornn, which is a considerable gap.

Draven became popular after being featured by Li Luo in the S7 World Championship finals, and more AD players in ranked games chose to practice this champion. However, since Infinity Edge was nerfed to the point of being useless by Riot designers, this champion's strength has become bottom-tier, not to mention high-level games, even in low-to-mid-level games.

Draven needs to consistently deal damage. Without Infinity Edge to provide him with items in the mid-to-late game, he can easily fall into a slump in damage output once he has three or four items.

Not to mention Kai'Sa, who's a must-ban or must-pick in ranked games right now!
Everyone believes that this hero's potential is only in the T3 tier, and even those who specialize in Draven will find it difficult to break into the T1 tier.

However, Uzi surprisingly brought it out again in this World Championship.

In games where the ADC needs to step up, everyone's eyes are on this player who often brings hope to everyone, hoping that he can revive Draven's glory.

Everyone thought Draven had been nerfed to the point of being useless, but in fact, in Season 9, before the Infinity Edge was reworked, he once rose to the T1 tier.

Why is this so?
Because the current version is not like S9 and S10, many people have not yet realized what "a hundred flowers bloom" means for the ADC position. Even the armor penetration item, which is quite popular in ranked games, is not used by many people in the competition.

Simply put, the margin for error is too low!
Marksman heroes who build armor penetration items essentially give up their late-game fighting power. Just like assassins, they will enter a period of decline once the 25-33 minute mark is over.

Draven is simple and brutal, capable of killing in just a few hits.

That's the impression he left on everyone.

Therefore, after the Endless Blade was nerfed, many people suddenly realized that its damage was so bad and it had no killing power at all. Even with three items, it often couldn't even stand and fight Ashe, and because it had no mobility, it was easy to die.

However, only those who truly understand the meaning of the ADC position can understand that this hero still has the strength of a T1 or even a T0 like Kai'Sa.

In League of Legends, in this version of the bot lane meta, only three ADCs can carry the game.

First, Kai'Sa.

Second, Vn.

Third, Draven.

The first two are heroes who can save the world once they develop, while the latter is someone who can fulfill the prerequisites.

Developing sounds both simple and difficult.

In casual games, there are a few Vayne players who can still drag the game out to over 30 minutes and farm to save the day. Even if their teammates are struggling, Vayne can still drag the game out to over 35 minutes.

And in a competition, it's even more difficult!

However, only Draven's economic curve allows him to expand his advantage in a winning situation and create an incredible economic gap in a single kill in an even situation.

Draven Alliance (Passive Skill)
A skill that is overlooked by many ADC players, and even Draven beginners.

In the eyes of skilled players, a good Draven player is not judged by how well they land their Q skill or how frequently they deal damage, but rather by their ability to farm and develop.

A hero who only relies on basic attacks is completely harmless in a match without a lot of equipment.

Therefore, only those who make good use of the passive ability, who cannot die even once when the passive stacks are high, and who are willing to sacrifice their teammates, can play Draven well.

Everyone underestimated Draven's difficulty and his damage output.

Including Brother Li.

Draven, who had pushed down the bottom lane and arrived in the mid lane, landed a basic attack on Irelia the instant she used her Q. The damage from the Stormrazor hit Faker with the first strike, startling him so much that he quickly retreated.

However, he didn't care. The current version of Irelia's W is still very overpowered. With her current tankiness, Draven wouldn't be able to solo kill her if she wasn't controlled.

He's also played Draven, and without control, his damage output isn't that terrifying.

However, Faker is still Faker, still the same Faker everyone knows. Looking at the World Championships, not many AD professional players can play Draven well, let alone him.

The clueless Irelia was unaware that Draven was already filled with murderous intent.

He kept a close eye on the cooldown of the Q skill and the health bar of the Irelia, constantly calculating, while simultaneously adjusting his hand muscles and silently planning the route to auto-attack and catch the axe.

"Forward, forward, left, forward, right, right, right, back"

The microphone dropped by Draven's Q skill, visible only to Li Luo, formed a perfect kill route.

This is a path of carnage that only Draven players can understand!
It's also something Draven players will understand – the beauty of violence!

One basic attack, then another basic attack, forward!
The conditions for damage and forward direction are met!

At this moment, Draven was like a beast unleashed, shedding his disguise and launching a furious attack on the enemy before him.

Blood Rush (W) was activated immediately, and crimson blood swirled around Draven, instantly transforming into a buff.

The enormous speed of movement instantly increased the distance between the two to 300 yards.

Irelia's basic attack range is 175 yards. Given the movement speed of both of them, if Draven moves forward even a second more, he will be directly trapped in Irelia's attack range.

However, just as Li Luo had predicted, Faker retired!
Draven pulled down his Twin Blades (E), and the next moment he moved forward again, continuing to unleash his second basic attack.

The instant Irelia failed to land her E, Draven decisively dodged to the left, avoiding what could have been a fatal E skill, and in doing so, caught the axe and refreshed his W skill.

That graceful little waist twist during the chase made Faker feel the killing intent emanating from the screen!
This Draven is intent on killing!

crazy?

Thresh and Syndra were nowhere to be seen. At 18 minutes, his level was one level higher than Draven's. How dare he go in like that?
This was Faker's initial thought, but a second later, as the fourth attack carrying Stormrazor landed, he gradually realized something was wrong.

Ultimately, Faker has passed his peak, his reactions have slowed down, and his awareness has gradually fallen behind the meta.

In the ancient versions, how many types of skills and equipment were there in total, including all the heroes?

Even back then, most equipment provided buffs that were either beneficial or detrimental, unlike the diverse array of active and passive equipment available today.

Therefore, Faker naturally overlooked the number of Stormrazor stacks Draven accumulates while moving at high speed. For Draven, he doesn't need a fixed four auto attacks plus movement to trigger Stormrazor; instead, he can fully stack the Stormrazor's 100 energy after the third attack.

An attack carrying Stormrazor hit Irelia, and the resulting slow effect made her escape impossible.

Irelia's already short legs made her impossible to escape after being slowed, but the cunning Draven didn't use his E skill, so Faker was caught in a dilemma.

He doesn't have Flash right now, so if he wants to escape, he can only fight back unless his teammates come to his rescue.

But here's the paradox: given Uzi's reaction time, he'll definitely interrupt him with his E skill the instant Uzi uses Q. At that point, Uzi's Q skill will go on cooldown again, making Uzi an easy target.

In the brief moment that Irelia hesitated, Draven continued to land his basic attacks on her, and his axe struck her like a shower of petals, each blow landing right behind her, as if the system itself was helping Draven in his pursuit.

What is this?

Why is his Draven axe swinging so smoothly?

Faker's reaction and micro-management are top-notch, but against a Draven who can only auto-attack, his dodging skills seem like a joke!
How am I supposed to dodge that axe?

Seeing his health dwindling, Faker was forced to stand near the tower and press his W skill to avoid damage.

Unfortunately, the W skill's stun effect made her escape a joke, and with each axe strike, Irelia's last bit of health was wiped out.

Rng.Uzi killed Skt.faker.
Rampage!

Draven actually killed Irelia while at full health.

Faker stared blankly at the gray-black screen, somewhat incredulous.

Why was Draven able to solo kill me? Wasn't he afraid I'd fight back or that someone was behind me?

Why is he still so confident in his skills after all these years?
Countless questions flooded Faker's mind, and the sheer number of "whys" left even a five-year veteran of the competitive scene bewildered!

"OMG, what kind of monster is this Draven??? He actually solo-killed Irelia all by himself, and his equipment isn't even that good!"

"OOOOOOMG, why didn't this Irelia fight back at all? She just got auto-attacked to death by Draven here??"

"ah?!?!"

Incheon, on-site.

Seeing the Irelia act like a complete idiot, pretending to be a dummy in the training camp the whole time, and being directly auto-killed by Draven without even touching Draven until her death, the audience went crazy as if everyone's IQ had dropped to zero!
The global audience and commentators from all major competition regions around the world were all stunned at this moment.

This move sounds quick, but from the outside world's perspective, Draven was like a flower in a painting, killing Faker, the man who was once a god in the mid lane, in less than 4 seconds.

In a time when everyone considers it an honor to solo kill Faker, Uzi actually killed Faker in just 4 seconds, as if he were last hitting a minion. Can you believe it?
In everyone's eyes, this was just Draven going up to use his W to chip away at Irelia's health, but before anyone could react, they saw a flurry of axes falling, and Irelia was instantly killed.

Just like Draven's infinite axes, you don't need to catch them, just activate W to speed up and auto-attack!

In the LPL commentary booth, Wawa looked stunned, seemingly forgetting his instinct to shout, and said blankly:

"Is this even possible?! This Draven seems to have three axes, and every time they land, they land right in the spot where Faker is escaping. Is this a coincidence, or skill?"

"Wow, bro, that's outrageous! Did you see how much money Draven added after killing Irelia?!"

Miller noticed something that others hadn't.

As the broadcast replayed the footage, the audience was astonished to discover that behind the barrage of axes, Draven had 1350 gold coins appear above his head.

This caused the cheers from the crowd to explode!

Draven had been farming in the bottom lane for so long, and when he came out for the first time, he immediately maximized his advantage, not only solo killing Irelia but also fully utilizing his passive ability.

You go out with 300 yuan, and in less than a minute, you've racked up 2100 yuan. Dude, is there anything more outrageous than this?

On the field, as Draven solo-killed Irelia, the mentality of the four SKT players who were still watching the situation on the field was immediately greatly affected.

However, unlike the two blank-faced people in the bot lane, the top and jungle players had more of a relief on their faces that the LCK audience couldn't understand!

Yes, I'm just glad!
A few seconds after Faker was solo killed, Xiaohai instantly realized the wisdom of his choice.

Holy crap, whoever wants to play this Draven is like a ghost, go ahead and play with him. Anyway, I'm not going to be stupid enough to rush in and take the blame again.

Khan even wore a slight smile, as if only with Li's death could his tentacle attack truly be seen as a desperate move.

"That's incredible! Draven's maneuver was so smooth and fluid, his auto-attacks were so graceful and beautiful. My god, that auto-attack movement is definitely textbook material for ADCs!"

"Ahhhh!"

"That's incredible! Faker probably didn't expect Draven's damage to be so unreasonable. He solo-killed the mid laner and even took down an outer mid lane turret, maximizing his gold!"

Seeing RNG gaining the upper hand, the emotions of the three commentators and the audience immediately ignited like a powder keg.

In this wave, Draven will have at least 3500 gold when he returns to base, which means that Draven will be unable to be restricted due to his equipment.

The nearly 1000 gold difference between the two sides has now been turned into a 1,000 gold lead by RNG due to a solo kill, which is just too outrageous.

If Draven can maintain his advantage, RNG will definitely win this game.

Retaining the S-series championship, becoming a double champion, and possibly even winning a second FMVP trophy—all of this is within reach.

By then, they probably won't need a third championship to prove themselves or to show that RNG has the same strength as Skt back then!
Grand Slam, double crown, two-time Finals MVP – what kind of honor is this? Those who know, know.

By then, Faker's status as the number one player in the league will likely change hands, and he will no longer be standing alone at the summit.

Meanwhile, the increasingly noisy voices from the audience gradually grew louder!

"If I were Skt, I'd be completely demoralized. This Draven's farming ability is terrifying. He only solo-killed one person, but the economic benefit is equivalent to a solo-kill of four in an instant. This is unbelievable."

Longhair started getting excited too:

"Some people say that Faker standing still during this play was suicide, that he was throwing the game. Here, take the keyboard and mouse, you guys can do this play!"
