You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 30 You, AJ, are you trying to force me to go all out?! (Two-part summary)

Seeing Jax approaching, Zhou Dian immediately controlled Camille to meet him.

As long as Camille triggers her passive shield with an auto-attack, she'll definitely not lose in a trade.

But the key is to be able to trigger the passive attack.

Jax has Counter Strike (E), a powerful skill that can block basic attacks. It won't be easy for Camille to trigger her passive with a single auto-attack.

From AJ's perspective, seeing Camille advance instead of retreat, he immediately roared, "Come on, who's afraid of who!"

Jax and Camille are getting closer and closer.

Both heroes have an attack range of 125 yards for their basic attacks. When they get close, their basic attack animations start almost simultaneously.

However, just as Camille's blade was about to strike Jax, she suddenly pulled back her foot and dodged the attack with a diagonal movement.

This was obviously to bait out Jax's E skill.

If Camille's auto-attack had actually landed, Zhou Dian thinks AJ would have been able to react in time and use Jax's E skill to block it.

In that case, Camille won't be able to trigger her passive shield, and she'll definitely lose in trades.

However, AJ did not fall for Zhou Dian's feint.

Camille's extremely precise fake attack failed to bait Jax's Counter Strike (E).

Seeing that AJ hadn't fallen for the trick, Camille suddenly turned around and attacked Jax.

Zhou Dian is truly awesome now!
However, this time, AJ precisely activated Counter Strike, blocking Camille's basic attack.

"Haha, you loser! I, AJ, have played top lane in two World Championships. You think you can drag me down with this?" AJ smiled smugly.

The previous play where Jax tanked Camille's W skill was something most viewers in the live stream couldn't understand.

But this tug-of-war was straightforward and clear, and most viewers in the live stream understood it perfectly.

[Holy crap, is this how it's being pulled?]

[Camille's fake attack, AJ's reaction speed, both sides are amazing!]

This is like a battle of gods!

But AJ is still a cut above the rest; professional players are truly amazing!

[So thin, so incredibly thin, it's thin on both sides!]

I've seen a few AJ games, and they're incredibly detailed!

[How many? How many what?]

[Let's play a few games!]

You'd better be talking about games!

【.】

After his auto-attack was blocked by Jax's Counter Strike, Zhou Dian immediately controlled Camille to retreat to the middle of his own backline minions.

Jax, holding up a "fan," followed behind Camille and casually auto-attacked her.

Next, Jax used his second E skill to stun Camille, then auto-attacked once before immediately retreating.

AJ didn't try to force a flat attack; he just attacked once and then ran away.

If you get any more greedy, Camille will trigger her passive shield and Grasp of the Undying.

At this moment, Camille's W skill was ready, and she immediately used it to scratch Jax.

Camille's W skill hit Jax on the outer edge, restoring some health.

This roster overhaul is definitely a win for AJ.

Both sides took one skill hit, but Jax landed two more auto-attacks on Camille.

However, AJ's expression became even more serious!
Just now, Jax chased Camille into the minion wave. Jax unleashed Counter Strike, which hit all the blue team's minions, greatly accelerating the minion wave's advance.

AJ intended to push the lane at the start, but he planned to push slowly and didn't want to push so fast at all!
The top lane minions pushed so fast that it was too easy for the jungler to gank them when they were around level two or three.

Camille wasn't deliberately getting hit, was she?

"This TopKing has a really deep understanding of lane control! He's definitely not a random player!" AJ sensed something was off.

The second wave of minions arrived, and after killing a front-line minion, Jax leveled up to level two.

So the level 1 Camille stood behind and waited for the minion wave to come.

Camille's position is quite ambiguous, just a little outside the range of Jax's Leap Attack (Q) skill.

AJ repeatedly right-clicked on Camille and pressed the Q key, only to find that Jax couldn't jump over her at all.

Not enough distance!

This person has amazing distance control!
Soon, the top lane minions reached a point not far from the blue side tower and got stuck.

Camille comfortably leveled up to level two.

Because of that previous wave, AJ couldn't hold onto the minion wave at all.

The minion wave is currently in front of Camille's turret, which is very difficult for Jax. If the blue side jungler comes, he will be eliminated with Flash.

Of course, as a professional player, AJ wasn't helpless in the face of this situation.

Jax went straight forward and activated Counter Strike (E) to aggressively push the minion wave.

Let's go all the way and send the red minions straight into the tower, then the minion wave will push back.

At this moment, the junglers from both sides ran into each other in the upper river.

With his jungler drawing attention away from him, AJ breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the top lane minion wave with greater confidence, finally managing to get it to Camille's turret.

Of course, because Jax used all his skills on minions, Camille took the opportunity to attack him fiercely, and all the health he gained in the earlier trade was forced back by Camille.

Jax even had significantly less health than Camille.

But it's alright, Jax has plenty of supplies.

AJ quickly applied a layer of Corrupting Potion, waiting for the minion wave to push back.

He really didn't expect that the two sides would engage in a battle of minions in the first two levels.

The opponent's understanding of the top lane minion wave was clearly no less than that of this top laner who had participated in two World Championships.

Fortunately, the minion wave issue has been temporarily resolved, and now it's time to test your skills.

AJ is very confident about this.

Because he was playing Jax, and his opponent was Camille, a champion he was severely countering.

After Jax forcefully pushed the second wave of minions to the tower,
By the time the third wave of cannon minions arrived, many minions had already appeared at the intersection of the top lane minions.

And the general trend is moving towards AJ.

Camille now needs to move forward to finish off the enemy.

The distance between the two heroes in the top lane has narrowed again.

At this moment, Zhou Dian's jungler appeared in the mid lane.

As a professional player, AJ kept an eye on the minimap out of the corner of his eye. When he saw the enemy jungler appear in the mid lane, Jax immediately activated Counter Strike (E) and used his Q skill to jump directly into Camille's face.

"Damn it, the jungler's in the bottom lane and you still dare to come up and farm? Get out of my way!" AJ yelled.

Jax's Counter Strike can only be used to stun enemies at least one second after it has been activated.

Therefore, when Camille faces Jax using his E to jump in, she will definitely take advantage of Jax's inability to immediately use his E to stun him, and immediately use her hookshot (E) against the wall to kick Jax away and create distance.

But the top lane minions are pushing towards AJ at this moment.

Once Zhou Dian does that, Camille will lose her E skill and won't be able to farm minions.

Going up there will only get you beaten!

so what should I do now?
Zhou Dian already had a plan!

He had dealt with this situation countless times in his previous life when he used Camille against Jax.

Camille simply walked backwards without using any skills.

Jax, meanwhile, was chasing after them, holding up a "fan."

One second later, Camille released her grappling hook (E) while pressed against the wall, followed by a second E kick towards Jax.

Seeing Camille's actions, AJ got excited, "What's Camille doing? Giving him away, huh?"

Question marks started appearing in the live stream chat.

In the eyes of most viewers, Camille should have used her E to stun Jax and create distance much earlier. Instead, she waited until Jax could use his E to stun him before deliberately kicking him!
Looking for death?
Isn't this a gift?
The next moment, Camille kicked Jax in the face with her second kick.

AJ reacted incredibly quickly, unleashing Counter Strike (E) the instant Camille kicked Jax. Both Jax and Camille were hit by the opponent's E skill and stunned in place.

Jax's E skill stun duration is longer than Camille's E skill stun duration!
However, Camille was the first to break free from the stun and landed the first auto-attack, triggering her passive shield.

A thick, orange shield appeared on Camille's body.

Then came a fierce confrontation between the two.

However, Camille, who had a higher health pool and benefited from the attack speed bonus from her E skill, was outmatched.

Jax whose passive ability isn't stacked can't even land a single auto-attack.

AJ retreated while attacking, not wanting to be beaten for nothing.

During Jax's retreat, he was hit by Camille's Tactical Sweep (W), leaving him with less than 200 health.

At this moment, AJ's mid laner gave him several retreat signals.

The meaning is obvious: the enemy jungler went top!

There's no other way. With so little health left, staying in the top lane will only result in being tower dived.

So AJ chose to recall under the tower.

After pressing the B key, AJ couldn't hold back any longer, "Holy crap, this game has a bug!"

"Just now, Jax and Camille stunned each other, how could Camille possibly wake up first!"

【Oh right, why?】

[Is this a real bug?!]

[Bug Alliance, you'll get used to it!]

No wonder TopKing has such a high win rate, he's been exploiting a bug to climb the ranks!

[Stop the baseless criticism; reaching the top 30 in the Korean server isn't something you can do by exploiting bugs.]

AJ is, after all, an experienced professional player. Although his first reaction was that there was a bug, after seeing Camille's keystone rune in this game—[Grasp of the Undying]—once again, he understood why Camille was able to escape the stun before Jax.

"It's not a bug, it's not a bug!" AJ exclaimed repeatedly. "This Camille has the 'Agility' talent selected, no wonder!"

【Sensitive? What does that mean?】

What does this have to do with Camille?

[Yeah, what do you mean? AJ, explain yourself clearly!]

Oh, I understand!

[What the hell? If you know, just say so already, don't stand here pretending to be an expert!]

"Undying Grasp" is the cornerstone talent of the Resolve tree, located in the last row of the Resolve tree. In the second-to-last row of the Resolve tree, there's a minor talent called "Agility," which increases slow resistance and resilience!

[The key is this increased resilience, which allowed Camille to escape the stun before Jax!]

【Seriously, don't you guys play games? You don't even know this?】

[With so many talents, who the hell has the time to carefully read the description of each one?!]

【6】

[TopKing has such a strong understanding of the game! I never imagined that small talents could be used in this way!]

[Hehe, otherwise how could they achieve a 90+ win rate and reach the top 30 in the Korean server!]

【.】

In the game, after Jax recalled to base, Camille attacked two minions to reach level three, and then also recalled to base.

Jax and Camille teleported back to their lanes one after the other, both reaching level three.

After various rounds of competition in the first two levels, Zhou Dian ultimately prevailed over AJ.

However, since neither a kill was achieved nor Jax's Flash was forced, the two sides were almost back to square one.

After being teleported out this time, AJ clearly showed that he was going to focus on leveling up.

I'm not going to fight you right now, I'll level up to level six first!

At level six, Jax has an absolute advantage in a fight. As long as you don't have a major equipment disadvantage, you can just spam the keyboard.

Jax didn't attack, and Camille didn't have many options.

You can't just use your E skill on Jax directly!
Both players peacefully farmed minions until level five, exchanging blows only briefly, with Camille and Jax both still having more than half their health remaining.

Seeing AJ like this, the viewers in the live stream started to jeer, and the chat kept saying he was a coward.

However, these comments couldn't provoke AJ at all.

He continued finishing the job calmly, without any hurry.

However, AJ wasn't in a hurry, but Zhou Dian was.

You, AJ, are playing a champion with an advantage, but you're not making any moves. What's the meaning of that?

If we never fight, how am I supposed to gather materials?
Can we still use the game assets from this game?
Zhou Dian has waited so long, and finally got this excellent source material game. How could he let it go so easily?

Fine, if you won't do it, I will!

If I were to do it myself, things wouldn't be so dignified.

You, AJ, are trying to force me to go all out, aren't you!
From AJ's perspective, Camille, who was last-hitting a monster, suddenly hooked onto the wall with her E, and then kicked the Jax with her second E.

AJ's reaction was still on point; before Camille could kick him, Jax activated Counter Strike (E).

"What is he doing? Why is he insisting on giving it away?" AJ's eyes widened.

The viewers in the live stream were initially criticizing AJ for playing too timidly.

Everyone was shocked to see this!

Camille is courting disaster!

[I'm itching for a beating from Jax!]

Holy crap, you can actually get up there like that?!

This TopKing is incredibly audacious!

This is a real free win!

Even I, a Silver-ranked player, know that Camille shouldn't initiate on Jax like that!

This person has a problem with their thinking!

This is completely different from the previous wave.

The last wave was Camille and Jax stunning each other.

But now, Jax didn't use any skills, while Camille used her crucial E skill.

He'd definitely get a beating for that!

In the game, after Camille stunned Jax with her E skill, she didn't do anything else and immediately turned around and ran away.

When this scene was seen by the audience, they naturally felt that [TopKing] had definitely lost his mind and made a mistake!
AJ naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.

Jax, who was using Counter Strike, was stunned for 0.75 seconds by Camille's E skill.

After recovering from the stun, Jax immediately used his Q skill to jump onto Camille and simultaneously unleashed Counter Strike, stunning Camille.

However, an orange shield suddenly appeared on Camille's body, with a shield value of over two hundred points.

It is Camille's passive skill - Adaptive Defense.

At the same time, Jax's health dropped by one bar!
【? ? ? ? ? 】

Why did Camille's shield appear?

[This isn't right! Jax has Counter Strike Rush active the whole time, how could Camille possibly trigger her passive with an auto-attack?!]

[And Camille isn't cool either; I saw her just standing still without moving!]

Why is Jax losing health without auto-attacks?

How would I know?

Is it possible—and I mean possibly—that Camille is actually bugged?

[Oh no, there's a real bug!]
