Starting with Zaozi Ge, a dream lineup

Chapter 45 Peaceful Development?

Li Luo, unable to finish off the opponent while being pressured, shook his head and said nothing, since the blame for this wave wasn't on Xiao Ming.

It was unexpected that after being completely crushed in the first game, this player still dared to make plays and show off in the second game. This was truly unexpected.

"It's okay, we can play. Xiangguo can take a break in the bot lane this game and go help Letme relieve some pressure."

After quickly switching screens, Li Luo discovered that not only was his bottom lane in a bad situation, but Letme in the top lane was also being pressured badly by Camille.

At this point, Rumble had already used up his health potion, while Camille had one health potion left thanks to the healing from her W.

"OK, OK, once Junze reaches level 6, let's try to gank the bottom lane and find some opportunities."

Because it's a troll, its jungle clearing speed isn't fast; it had only just finished clearing the Krugs.

Upon hearing Li Luo's words, Xiangguo decisively pressed B to return home and headed straight for the top lane.

If you can interrupt Camille's E skill with a pillar, there's still a chance to catch her. Even if you can't catch her, it can still relieve some pressure on Letme.

However, once the Troll appears in the top lane, if the Prince and Twisted Fate move to the bottom lane, the two in the top lane will be unable to reach them.

"Xiaohu brought Cleanse this game, and Crown brought TP. Be careful of them trying to gank 4v2."

"Unlike the previous game, SSG had already pushed RNG down by 1,000 gold in just four and a half minutes."

"RNG's item build was very clear; I was going to focus on early game farming. Uzi went back to base and bought a Cull, so the pace of the game was starting to get pressured by Samsung."

The middle lane was calm, with a female ball player and a gambler developing their skills peacefully.

Seeing the TP and potions on Twisted Fate, Syndra had no desire to deal damage, and Twisted Fate showed no intention of coming up and fighting Syndra.

Thanks to the card's passive ability, the Crown is as stable as a rock. With normal development, the random amount of money gained from the card is very profitable, with an average of 3-5 extra gold per minion.

The mid-lane, which should have been the most intense battleground, showed no signs of fighting whatsoever, making it a dull and boring place for viewers, failing to capture their attention at all.

Seeing that things were not going well, the director immediately switched the camera to the top lane.

At this moment, Xiangguo's troll had reached the blue team's gate in the top lane. After taking the Blast Cone, he quietly hid in the bush.

In the Season 7 World Championship version, tanks reign supreme.

Therefore, those who leave a deep impression on audiences worldwide are basically tank heroes.

Except for one person.

That's Camille in the top lane.

Many people say that the only top laner in Korea who plays Jayce well is the other top laners, whose dominance is about the same as that of domestic top laners.

As the strongest top laner in the current version of professional matches, Camille is practically a slaughter champion when released.

Since its release, Camille has firmly held the top lane dominance, surpassing the three god-tier tanks Maokai, Poppy, and Nautilus.

Camille combines healing, crowd control, team fight initiation, split pushing, and shielding, with her ultimate ability dealing devastating damage to ADCs in the late game.

Some professional players have even developed support and mid-lane playstyles for Camille, which demonstrates just how perfect Camille's attributes and mechanics are.

Because Camille was extremely powerful, she was nerfed from version 6.2 to version 7.3.

However, the increased applicability of the Cinderhulk item has temporarily removed Camille from the jungle role.

However, Camille remains strong in the top lane. With the buff to her W heal, Camille is not afraid of champions like Rumble in lane.

When facing a champion like Camille, Rumble doesn't have an easy time if he hasn't built up some items in the early game.

Rumble, as a veteran top lane AP champion, is a must-have champion in the champion pool of almost all top laners.

Because of his devastating ultimate ability that can turn the tide of battle, Rumble has always been a mini-nuclear bomb.

However, Rumble was almost nowhere to be seen in the S7 tournament. The reason why Rumble was difficult to play this year was due to the nerfs to runes and Rumble's core item, Liandry's Torment.

With the rise of other tanky characters, Rumble naturally became obsolete.

The current Liandry's Mask does not have the effect of later buffs, which increased the damage over time from 1% to 1.5% of the target's health.

At this point, Camille, with the Bloodlust talent active, possessed a high amount of healing from her W skill and auto-attacks, leaving Rumble helpless.

"Be careful, I have a feeling Spicy is in the top lane. He didn't go to the bottom lane this time, so he definitely can't be farming in the jungle."

Master An, who was engrossed in smashing the stone figure, reminded the withered one.

The slightly irritated withered creature seemed to have been doused with cold water and quickly shrank back.

"Both the mid and top lanes are very stable. Camille needs to farm basic items before she can get a solo kill."

"Neither the mid-lane Twisted Fate nor the jungler Jarvan IV showed any intention of making a move. This game might not be as one-sided as the last one. It seems that the two sides are evenly matched now."

There are many "bladder-like" games in the match. Once both sides choose heroes that can stabilize in the early game, the situation becomes peaceful development with no fighting at all.

The audience at the scene had only one thought in mind: Are you kidding me? What's the point of watching this?
Why not just start a custom game, farm up to six items, and then fight two team fights directly?

Is the player a freak?
No wonder.

Ever since Samsung White's strategy in Season 4 first shocked the world, all teams have regarded "macro strategy" as the bible.

It's impossible for a fighting team to manage both fighting and operations simultaneously, so as long as they stall the operations, they'll definitely find a way to break through.

Being too aggressive online will give the enemy jungler an opportunity to exploit and become their weak point.

If a jungler recklessly ganks, and fails, jungle resources will be stolen, jungle vision will be lost, and laners will become hesitant, causing a series of chain reactions.

The so-called 'operation' means reducing all high-risk ganks, relying on advance vision control to achieve rapid support with superior numbers, and only fighting battles that are 'sure to win'.

In this patch where Sightstone and the green vision jungle item are still available, vision is extremely important.

Never launch an attack without at least 70% certainty of success; avoid all high-risk endeavors.

Furthermore, the version favors tank-centric metas and late-game dual-carry compositions, which further prolongs the duration of matches.

The reason there was no fighting during the match was that neither side could find an opportunity where they could "secure a win".

The same applies to team battles; I will never initiate a team battle unless I have a 70% or even greater chance of winning.

In both the top and mid lanes, the junglers couldn't find any opportunities due to the minion waves and health status.

If a reckless gank fails, vision and resources in the jungle will be lost.

Although Xiangguo is a representative of the reckless jungler, it doesn't mean he's brainless. In this situation, he naturally wouldn't force a gank.

After wandering around for a while, he left the top lane and farmed his way down the jungle area that spawned in the top lane.

"The bot lane is playing really aggressively."

The director suddenly switched the camera to the bottom lane, and Wawa exclaimed in surprise.

With Tristana and Morgana, Morgana's shield can basically neutralize Xayah and Thresh, who have no magic damage.

Not only will Thresh's E be blocked, but even his Q, which he relies on for survival, will be useless, not to mention Xayah's root.

The hero Little Cannon's early-game damage completely outclasses that of Reverse Feather.

Whether it's the W skill Rocket Jump that can dodge Xayah's Q and E skill Backstab, or the high burst damage of E after activating Q, it can reliably suppress Renegade.

Therefore, even if Xayah loses first blood, once she replenishes her equipment, Tristana and Morgana are in no way inferior to Thresh and Reverse Feather in a fight.
