LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

On a cold winter night, the two cuddled up against each other on the balcony.

Su Cheng's fingers were tapping quickly on her phone, and she was focused on replying to other people's New Year's messages. She subconsciously curled up in Lin Ran's arms.

Holding her warm and soft body tightly, Lin Ran felt peaceful in his heart.

He looked at the bright moon in the sky, and the fireworks rising into the sky in the distance. The two phases of light blended together and reflected on the side of Su Cheng's fair face, making her features look picturesque.

He couldn't help himself for a moment, and the sound of Su Cheng tapping the screen of his phone suddenly disappeared, leaving behind the faint sound of firecrackers in the distance.

When the two returned to the private room hand in hand, the song "Unforgettable Tonight" just happened to sound.

Lin Ran had something in mind and scratched Su Cheng's soft palm with his fingers.

"Unforgettable tonight?" he whispered.

The girl rolled her eyes at him, sat down, took a piece of orange and put it in her mouth.

Su's mother drank a little too much and whispered to her husband. After more than 20 years of marriage, their relationship was still the same as before.

Lin Ran started handing out red envelopes in the YM group. He was in a good mood and scattered thousands of dollars to go out, and received several sincere compliments from the little bastard.

It was already early in the morning when the show ended. The Lakeside Four Seasons where the Su family lived was not far from here, so the three of them simply left on foot.

"Shall I go to the front desk to call a car?" Lin Ran looked at his father.

"No, it's only two kilometers away from the community. We can just walk back." Lin Mingdong's face was rosy and his voice was much louder than before.

Lin Ran felt relieved when he saw that he didn't look drunk.

The streets of Suzhou were empty on New Year's Eve. Most of the migrant workers had returned to their hometowns to reunite with relatives and friends.

There are many customers in the McDonald's on the first floor of the shopping district next to the street. A few couples are sitting by the window feeding each other McFlurry, which looks quite sweet.

Lin Ran remembered the late autumn of the year before last, when he and PDD met for the first time and embarked on a career path that seemed uncertain at the time.

"How many more years do you plan to continue your career?" Lin Mingdong, who was walking behind, suddenly asked, and the cars passing by made a roar.

"When I feel that my way of winning is too difficult, I plan to retire." Lin Ran was stunned for two seconds before answering.

"Then what are you going to do after retirement?" Lin Mingdong strode to Lin Ran's side.

He no longer preached to Lin Ran with doubts and aggressiveness like the previous two years, but put Lin Ran on an equal footing and communicated with each other.

"Hmm..." Lin Ran thought seriously, "Buy a few houses and continue studying?"

Lin Mingdong was a little surprised, "I asked you to study, but you said you were not good at studying."

"This moment, that moment," Lin Ran walked forward facing the moonlight, "Now I understand."

"Not everything you have to do must be in line with your own interests, not to mention... After I came out of school, I discovered that I am actually not that resistant to learning. It is true that I am not interested, but it is not to the point where I can't learn."

"I'm just resisting what you want me to do," Lin Ran turned back and looked directly into Lin Mingdong's eyes, his tone calm, "That's how it was when doing live broadcasts."

Lin Mingdong was silent.

"...It's my fault." He said softly after a long time.

Lin Ran had just been replying to Su Cheng's news. The family had returned home and was preparing to wash up and go to bed. They didn't pay attention to Lin Mingdong's words.

"Huh?" He tilted his head slightly.

"After your mother left, I didn't care enough about you. I only contacted you by phone once or twice a month. I'm sorry for you." Lin Mingdong's voice was slightly trembling, and he opened the buttons on his collar.

Lin Mingdong's figure is still upright, and he has maintained an excellent figure despite being nearly fifty years old. His age can only be guessed through the faint white hair on his temples and the fine wrinkles on his face.

Lin Ran said nothing again.

…

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the busy Lin Mingdong ended his vacation and received a work notice to go to New York to start business negotiations in the United States.

Lin Ran sent him out of the door, and as soon as he pressed the elevator button, he turned around and saw Lin Mingdong dragging two suitcases, struggling to cross the threshold, and his movements were a little difficult.

"Let me get it for you." He hesitated for a moment and took a box from his father's hand.

There were not many people in the community in the early morning, except for a few old men and women who came back from walking in the park with their dogs on leashes.

"Send it here," Lin Mingdong took the suitcase from Lin Ran, "I've called a car."

Lin Ran put his hands in his coat pockets and stayed where he was.

"Remember to eat on time," Lin Mingdong finally couldn't help nagging, "Don't order McDonald's all day long. The hotel has a food ordering service. I put a few business cards on the coffee table before I left. If you want to eat, just call them. .”

"I know." Lin Ran turned away, curled his index finger and rubbed his nose.

"When you're with Su Cheng, take care of her and don't act like a child," Lin Mingdong warned, "That's a good girl."

"I understand, don't..." Lin Ran wanted to say something back, but looking at Lin Mingdong's slightly haggard face, he still couldn't say it.

The taxi stopped in front of Lin Mingdong. Lin Ran helped him put his luggage in the trunk and watched the taxi run towards the high-speed rail station before turning around and leaving.

The next few days were extremely busy. Lin Ran had to communicate with the design team about the decoration drawings of the new villa, and then there was a class reunion to attend.

The high school classmates who had not seen each other for a long time were enthusiastic. They rushed back to Suzhou from all over the world and told their childhood friends about the novel world they had seen.

As a world champion, Lin Ran became the person who took photos, and his lips almost stopped laughing.

"Lin Ran, can you ask Xiaotian to sign your name for me?" A friend who was studying at Shanghai Foot Pain University came over with excitement, "I really like him, if the little bastard can send me a weird message behind the photo It would be even better.”

"Are you flirting?" A classmate on the side laughed.

The man shook his head, "Don't you understand? I just like the way the garlic bastard says, 'Stop barking, stinky dog.'"

The learning is so vivid, the smell of yin and yang is too strong.

"Someone actually wants the signature of Garlic Bastard?" Lin Ran couldn't help but shook his head, "His signature is so stinky, it's not as good-looking as mine."

As soon as Lin Ran took the YM photo taken from him, a female classmate from the University of Finance and Economics on the other side came over and asked for Jack's autograph.

"Can Jack help me sign a financial NB?" She was close to Su Cheng, holding her best friend's arm and smiling.

Lin Ran agreed, and he could not take his eyes off Su Cheng as he argued with his classmates about which school, Tsinghua Mathematics or Fudan Mathematics, was stronger.

He marked the names of his classmates on the back of a stack of photos in his hand, wrote down their addresses, and promised to mail the signed photos to them when he returned to the Shanghai base.

…

On the morning of February 8, Lin Ran and Su Cheng took the high-speed train back to Shanghai to join their teammates.

Just one week into the new season, the teams that attract the most attention, except for the defending champion YM, are the other giants that have made big moves during the transfer period.

EDG and RNG in Group B collided in the first round.

If the factory director said, "Pawn's departure has little impact on us," then deft's departure is a devastating blow to the current EDG - they lack a stable carry point in the later stage.

Mr. Dai is a guy who has a lot of trouble with his hips in competitions. The ADC who played in the LPL during the Civil War was not merciless. Last year, he played with Meiko and Uzi + Mata at will.

Mr. Dai, the key C position, left the team. I don't know if the EDG management had a brain attack and actually asked ROX's substitute mid laner Zet to switch positions to play ADC.

On the other side, Uzi saw that the RNG management signed the new champion assistant Shi Senming according to their own wishes, and he was as excited as if he was on the court.

The two directly pushed EDG through the bottom lane. In both games, the bottom lane dropped a blood tower within 10 minutes, and EDG couldn't play at all.

RNG won the pig-dog battle with a clean score of 2:0. This made Meiko, who was used to killing other bottom laners in the LPL with deft, very dissatisfied. He felt that zet's laning ability was too poor and he was not competitive in the current LPL.

On the other side, WE, who are in Group A with YM, are in a hot state.

They performed strongly against the Snakes in their first game. Even though they replaced the old assistant Zero Egg with Ben, the five players quickly developed a good chemical reaction in a short period of time.

WE crushed Snake with two games of terrifying operational ideas.

Holy Spear Brother and SOFM, who were good at getting lost in the mid-term, were helpless in front of the iron wall made by WE. They couldn't even find the slightest chance and were pushed all the way.

The former Samsung White coach Hongmi is indispensable, and the changes he brought to WE were immediate.

Samsung White started the operation of League of Legends in S4. Each of their ward placements was studied countless times. That year, looper's teleportation support always landed on unexpected ward positions of the enemy. Mata and Dandy's Nosuke The linkage made other teams frightened.

With incomprehensible operational strength and extremely powerful personal abilities, Samsung White, like SKT in S5, has played a very dominant championship performance in previous S games, attracting countless audiences, and fans are known as "the stars will never be separated to win the championship."

As the coach of Samsung White, it goes without saying that Hongmi has great achievements in operations. He and WE, who originally prefer late-stage operations, are a perfect match, making WE2.0, an operational barrier made of steel and iron, even more impregnable.

WE and RNG, two teams whose strength has improved by leaps and bounds, have aroused White Crescent's high vigilance. There is no doubt that they will be YM's biggest enemies on the road to defending the Silver Dragon Cup.

On the other side, VG had a tough road after introducing junglers Benji and easyhoon to form the championship midfielder. In the first week of the game, they were crushed and defeated by OMG, which had Sima Laothief and icon.

After experiencing the defeat of S6, Benji was disheartened. He came to LPL simply to make money and bring some SKT's business philosophy to VG.

However, this kind of SKT operation idea that emphasizes the system is not suitable for teams like VG. They will definitely go through a period of running-in period.

YM's opponent QG team on Saturday Lantern Festival night faced NB in ​​the first week. The grudges between doinb and his old teammates finally ended in QG's regrettable defeat 1:2.

Su Cheng didn't have to put in any effort at all. After watching two QG videos, he discovered that this team relied on the midfielder carry of doinb+clid.

The three players on QG's upper and lower lanes can only mess around in the LSPL. Is it possible to expect them to lead the team to win games in the LPL?

"Welcome to the live broadcast of the 2017 LPL Spring Split..." Today's commentators are Zeyuan and Yiji. After the two partnered to commentate on several games last year, they also tended to move together like Doll Miller.

"The first game after the new year will still be led by YM, against the newly promoted LPL team QG!"

It must be said here that the event date arrangement also reflects the importance the organizer attaches to the team to a certain extent.

The current game time of LPL is every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Generally speaking, the emphasis is on weekends \u003e working days. The later the game time, the better.

YM could only manage a very average live broadcast schedule last season, with games basically being held at 5pm and 1pm on weekends.

Nowadays, the entire league revolves around them. All YM games are played on weekends and during prime time in the evening, so as to attract as many viewers as possible.

This kind of game arrangement is also a good thing for their opponents. Now playing games with YM has its own traffic, all hot searches are full, and the attention is extremely high. Once the players perform any outstanding moves, they can attract a large number of fans.

"In the first game, QG chose the red side first. Now based on the data we compiled in the first week of the game, the red side does have a higher winning rate." Remember to finish the oral broadcast and lead the topic on the right track.

"During the New Year, our tournament team has also updated to version 7.3. Heroes such as Lucian, Qinggangying, and Enchantress have all been severely weakened. Lulu's passive output has been strengthened, and she is likely to become an upstart support player."

"It is worth mentioning that sprinting has also been slashed. Now the acceleration effect has become a gradual increase, rather than giving the hero a full movement speed bonus from the beginning." Zeyuan popularized to viewers who do not often watch version updates. tips.

I remember laughing, "It was mainly sprinting that shined in the S6 finals, especially Ran. His ability to use sprinting to roam and escape was so powerful. I still remember his sprinting clockwork against the Tigers in the semifinals." , exaggerated to the extreme.”

With the enthusiastic shouts of the audience, the BP session of this game officially began.

The YM coaching staff knew that the prophet's integration in the team had not yet reached a satisfactory level. Under the instruction of Bai Yueya, the team's BO3 focused on the integration of the lineup.

QG's jungler clid is basically a blind monk Jinchuuriki in LSPL. As long as he is released, he must be selected. White Crescent Moon is very courageous and decides to test the waters by playing one game first.

In the end, YM chose a double-shooter lineup of Big Tree, Male Gun, Karma, Policewoman, and Lulu, which was invincible in head-on battles.

The QG side is Shen, Blind Sin, Ryze, Jhin and Zyra.

"QG's lineup..." Zeyuan held his chin in his hand, "In the early and mid-term, it focuses on support, and in the mid-term, it starts to involve split-pushing. Why does it look so familiar to me?"

"The familiar taste of YM," I remember smiling with my eyes narrowed, "I can only say that since the S6 finals, the YM playing system has been practiced and used by more and more teams."

"As long as you go to the bottom lane to launch a surprise attack at a time point close to 10 minutes, you are likely to get a huge early advantage. The economic value and strategic significance brought by the first-blood tower are quite high. This is the essence of 4 packs of 2. "

The YM players also laughed when they saw the opponent's lineup.

"Is the other side stealing something?" Jack shook his legs and looked at his teammates.

"It's useless. If they copy it, they won't be able to learn the internal flavor." Garlic Bastard is very confident.

"Prophet, please remember to protect Xiaotian and Jack during this round." Bai Yueya warned before leaving the stage.

The prophet rubbed his hands nervously.

He was ready to show his teammates the strength of his soft assistant in this game.

But he didn't expect the opposite bottom lane to be so good.

In the first 6 minutes, the Prophet put a Sheep on Jhin, and Policewoman Jack climbed over the tower and faced EWQAAA. Half-blood Jhin took full damage and died under his own tower.

This time the laning kill directly broke the balance of the bottom lane. In the early 7 minutes, Jack had already suppressed the opponent's ADC by 20 knives. The economic gap was exaggerated.

Doinb saw that his bottom lane was unreliable, so he quickly found jungler clid to try to activate the mid-jungle linkage, planning to knock Lin Ran off first.

But Lin Ran is so stable now. How could he think of killing Ryze alone with Karma?

"Ran is nothing like a river. Clid is still squatting here. Xiaotian has almost wiped out the wild area!"

Clid squatted in the grass for half a minute, then was forced to give up and go on the road.

However, Jin Gong was also very stable, so he honestly controlled the line of troops in front of his own tower and took his time, waiting for Dashu's team battle period to work hard.

Clid couldn't wait any longer, so he ran out of the grass and forcefully touched his eyes with a roundhouse kick to kill Jin Gong, but Jin Gong cleverly used W to bind to the blind monk, hit a passive health recovery shot, and then retreated in a flash.

"Isn't this too much of a loss?" Zeyuan felt sorry for QG, "Xiaotian is counterattacking in the lower half of clid's jungle area, and the blind monk is going to lose his level this time!"

Clid, who had just debuted, was still too young. When he learned that his wild monsters had been countered, he was eager for success and wanted to continue to capture a wave of golden tributes.

But this time Xiaotian found him.

"How is this going to work when a level 9 male gun hits a level 7 blind monk?" Following Zeyuan's urgent shout, Xiaotian used the male gun to take down the blind monk's head with one ultimate blast!

At this point, QG fell into a collapse rhythm. Although they got the first blood tower in the bottom lane through 10 minutes of 4 guarantees and 2, it was a pity that Jack was not killed.

The development of the policewoman was not delayed at all, QG's Jhin was frequently consumed by Jack's face.

In the mid-term, QG's economy fell behind by 3K, and only doinb was left struggling to support it.

At this time, he can still be called a sea of ​​heroes. Not only can he play Viktor, but he can also choose early and mid-term heroes like Jace and wandering assassins like Male Swordsman. He is at the peak of his personal operation strength.

But it was of no use. He spent 300 dollars on the sideline in 25 minutes. In the mid-game team battle, he was chased and beaten by Jack's policewoman.

Lin Ran and Prophet used their acceleration skills on Jack, and the big-headed AD flew out like a runaway Shiba Inu, blocking the attack distance of the policewoman and Ryze, who was doinb.

4 shots reduced him to residual health. The last bullet was blocked by the shield of his Seraph Embrace, but Jack reversed E to close the distance and killed doinb with another headshot. Doinb turned around and hit him before he died. The hair was overloaded, and the shield on the policewoman's body was not even broken!

"In 25 minutes, the female police officer already has all the critical hits in her hand. The output is too exaggerated!"

"Ran directly took out a killing book. The rest of the equipment is all auxiliary equipment. He made it clear that he must keep the YM double shooters in the team!"

The gap between the lines was too big. YM stole the baron and pushed to the high ground in 28 minutes, while JKL got 4 kills against the tower.

"Where's my five-kill?" Jack's eyes turned red. When he saw the team battle started, he thought he was going to get the third five-kill in his career today, but he didn't expect that after the four-kill, what he heard was the enemy team. The beep sounds off.

"...I set it on fire and burned Shen to death." The prophet laughed sheepishly.

The garlic bastard laughed so hard that he used his male gun to destroy the QG base with one bullet.

But Bai Yueya was extremely anxious when he saw that they won the game.

"Don't be so aggressive in the lane," he complained. "If you don't let others beat you in the lane, our lineup won't have the training effect."

"What should we do?" Jack was also very helpless. "The bottom lane on the opposite side is just like sending away. Is it possible that I can still eat the heads I got?"

"Then don't eat it in the next game," Bai Yueya gritted his teeth, "We have to use these weak teams to practice the lineup. After all, the effect of the training game is different from that of the official game."

"You should be more stable in the lower game and wait for the midfielder to take advantage of the lineup to lead the rhythm."

The two sides switched sides, Lin Ran got Ryze, while doinb chose Karma.

Xiaotian continues to practice the male gun jungle core. This hero is very easy to get when facing QG.

Because clid currently only plays rhythmic characters such as blind monks and poodles, the jungle core male gunner needs to rely on the support of his teammates after they get the lane rights, and the strength of QG's top and bottom three people is a bit worse than the LPL average level. How is it possible for YM, the defending champion, to seize the lane rights to help the jungle?

In the second game, the two sides finally reached level 6 peacefully.

Then Lin Ran pushed away his troops and began to protect the bottom lane and jungle invasion. He strictly followed the tactics, but there was a little hiccup in the middle.

When he came out of the triangular grass on the lower road, he happened to see doinb emerging from the grass on the opposite side.

The two mid laners met each other, exchanged air Qs to show their respect, and then returned to lane.

Two minutes later, in order to protect the jungler and fight for river crabs, the two met again at the river channel and arrived at the battlefield almost at the same time!

"Is this support speed too exaggerated? I remember doinb didn't play this way last year?" I remember someone was a little confused.

The audience watched as the two mid laners abandoned the lane and followed the jungler to start doing things everywhere. Their steps were highly coordinated. They were simply replicating their opponents' play style!

Grab the F6 group of jungle camps close to the middle lane, and forget about the mid laner; fight for a group of Gargoyles with two mid laners still following your own jungler!

The artillery soldiers in the middle are no longer needed, just to help the jungler gain an advantage. This kind of gameplay has never been seen by the audience before!

[I’m a turtle, I’m stupid, the mid laner is out of line? What is this stuff? 】

[This is too outrageous. Wandering for the sake of wandering? 】

[I didn’t expect four junglers in one game! 】

Lin Ran was surprised when he saw that doinb's playing style was completely different from that of the previous player.

At present, the concept of most mid laners is still to fight team battles for 20 minutes before coming out. Except for certain heroes such as the Rock Bird Dragon King who must roam, most mid laners rely on lanes in the early and mid-term.

After playing professionally for a year, this is the first mid laner Lin Ran has seen who can keep up with his own pace and is willing to give up his troops to roam.

He was surprised.

Then he led his teammates to beat up doinb.

doinb was also helpless. He and Lin Ran developed peacefully in the first game. After swiping at his teammates, he couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't win the game by himself.

It is unrealistic to play Lin Ran for a solo kill in the middle. Doinb knows that once the opponent's mid laner is at a disadvantage, he will be a loser, and he will simply leave if he can push the lane through the river.

I have no choice but to wander along.

As he swam around, doinb actually felt that this rhythm was very comfortable and in line with his understanding of the game. He just helped out in the jungle and was done.

Is roaming support so cool?

doinb feels that he has opened the door to a new world.

Although his roaming rhythm could keep up with Lin Ran, the team's strength gap was too big to make up for, and YM easily won 2:0.

In the third week of the regular season, YM defeated the Snakes and NB again, and continued to consolidate its top spot in Group A with four consecutive victories.

On Saturday evening, the fourth week of the regular season, they will face their last opponent in the first round of the group round-robin - the Red Legion WE, led by Red Rice, also started with 4 consecutive victories.

It's a little late, it's a little late, I made a mistake
