LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

After spending a busy life before the new year, the days after the new year are rushing by, and in the blink of an eye, the holidays for the two elders are over.

Lin Mingdong returned to Shenzhen, and Su Cheng's parents went to Beijing together, taking their daughter with them as well, just for traveling and entertainment.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ran was alone again and stayed at home for two days. He was too lazy to order takeout and soon became tired of this boring life.

Lin Ran thought for a moment and decided to take the high-speed train back to Shanghai and pay a lot of money to find a private tutor to learn how to drive.

It has to be said that the experience of learning to drive for the extra money was quite good. He practiced reversing and parking on the side of the garage in the instructor's rainbow fart every day, and his progress was rapid.

It was not until late February that the YM competition and training department officially assembled to prepare for the remaining regular season after the year.

…

"Don't give it away, don't give it away!" The Shiba Inu's dissatisfied shouts echoed in the YM training room, "Brother, can you be more steady like me?"

Lin Ran, who was on the same side as Jack, also had a look of helplessness on his face, watching his teammate Ezreal lead the line alone in the bottom lane. The line was very deep, going straight to the opponent's second tower, and there was no view of his side around him.

Normally, even a unit cannot bring such a deep line of troops, but this Ezreal's thoughts obviously cannot be understood by ordinary people.

Because he is Happygame.

The opponent naturally laughed at this kind of kill, and the top laner Qinggang Ying Er kicked A and pulled up to easily accept Ezreal, turning his original disadvantage into a positive record.

"Die again, and get a red BUFF, ah..." Jack, as an assistant, couldn't do much more in this round, so he prolonged his tone and screamed like a marmot.

"No, what's going on?" Lin Ran couldn't figure out the situation. He was fully developed in the middle lane, and the operating czar hadn't come out yet, so the ADC on the bottom lane was sent first.

It's not comfortable to give it away once, but dying 8 times in a row is directly beyond the ghost.

He remembered that the bottom lane was clearly the advantage at the beginning.

"How would I know," Jack muttered as he controlled Thresh to return to the city, "I gave him 3 heads at the beginning. I wandered two waves in the wild area with my five-speed shoes, and he was not happy to let him pick up the wiring. Fight the two people on the other side with your E face, and give away the bounty directly!"

"Then the wall-breaking artillery cart pushes back the line. He can just Q slowly by himself and wait for the soldiers to come over?" Jack's resentment almost overflowed. "When the artillery cart soldiers enter the tower, I will definitely come back!"

He is now the king with 991 points, one thousandth of a step away. All he needs to do is win this round of rankings.

It was smooth sailing in the early stage, but I had to send this ADC.

Jack felt that he was wronged. Who wouldn't roam around when Thresh had the advantage? You are an EZ and you are not Draven, so what can I do if I stay in the bottom lane?

Lin Ran could only admit that he was unlucky. Opposite him were Deft and Peanut, who were ranked slightly behind him in the Korean server. Once he was scored in this game, he would definitely fall out of the top ten in the Korean server.

In this kind of game where the team does not have a huge advantage in the early stage, as long as there is one person in the team who does not want to win, it is destined to be impossible to defeat more with less.

In the 28-minute Dalong Pit, Monster A finally joined the group, but at this time, Mr. Dai, who was originally at a disadvantage in the early stage, had overtaken him with a large piece of equipment.

In this case, it was impossible for Lin Ranfang to win, and he could only regret the defeat.

"Is this guy really..." Jack looked at the 22 points he had lost and gritted his teeth with hatred.

Lin Ran was quite helpless. This weirdo had a child-like personality...not 443, not the one who fought in the King of Fighters, but just a real naughty kid.

He still had to be coaxed to come, and the assistant had to be by his side all the time, and would go up to see him off if he didn't like it at all.

He took a look at the record of Monster A. After the Chinese New Year, he saw 7 wins and 27 losses. This was obviously a mental breakdown. He had lost 500 points here and there.

RNG's current record is poor, with only one win before the year.

Among them, Sun Dayong and new coach Heart also brought up the spicy hot pot to put out the fire, but still had little effect.

If Casa could still find fault with playing field support when he was on the field, now excluding the shooter position, he is the original team of RNG in the S7 season.

The result was that we still couldn't win, and the fans couldn't accept it.

According to the most classic control variable method, if RNG loses the game now, it is because of the A monster.

No matter how hard I blew before, I will fall hard now.

RNG fans had too high expectations for him. They were bragging about it in the forum at that time, thinking that Monster A could debut like Jack and win two consecutive championships.

As a result, in the regular season games in the past few years, the A monster directly pulled the hip. Many outsiders and YM fans had long been dissatisfied with RNG, and now they jumped out to make lists.

[What’s Jack’s grade? What’s your grade? Can this be compared? 】

[I didn’t expect the Rank ranking. How many of the famous professional players today have never been ranked first in the Korean server? People like Kid have been there, how valuable do you really think it is? 】

【Kid:? ? ? I didn't say anything about you, why did you say something about me? 】

[What a super (C) level (J) soldier (B). I didn’t expect to win two S competition championships on loan before debuting. Neither Brother Li nor Brother Ran boasted like this when they debuted]

[Not as strong as Uzi. Although some fans say that he is untitled and super-bang, at least he is very good in laning, and he is also considered a first-class player in terms of strength. What kind of precious thing is this monster A? Using Verus + Thresh to beat EZ + Tahm Kench without lane rights, the game blew up all the way and it really made me laugh]

[Hurry up and let him go to LDL. See if I, Xiangxiang, don’t beat the head of the A monster? 】

Lin Ran knew how much pressure public opinion can put on a person. It was understandable that his mentality would collapse after he was scolded even though he was already doing poorly.

But there is no reason for you to disgust your teammates in qualifying! The other four people had no grudges against him in the past and had no grudges recently. They were disgusted for half an hour and lost more than 20 points. Why?

When the garlic bastard was sprayed until he was crying under the covers, his winning rate of 1,000 points in the Korean server every day was ridiculously high. Why didn't he just hang up and give away his head?

Lin Ran felt that RNG was really lucky. It was able to find an ADC who usually roams as a support player in qualifying and can have a mental breakdown. And he found two ADCs as soon as he found them. With this probability, he suggested buying lottery tickets directly.

Feeling disgusted, he decisively clicked on the report and planned to write a short essay in English, but Hongmi suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.

"Stop for a moment, let's have a meeting."

Translator Jiang Chenglu has gained a lot of plump figure over the past year, and he translated the coach's words with full energy.

After all the team members gathered together, Hongmi projected the computer screen on the big screen in the training room.

"After the Chinese New Year, Riot updated version 8.2," Hongmi glanced at everyone, "According to common sense, Riot has not made a major update for the Spring Split, but there are many points that we need to get familiar with and adapt to."

"For example, [Omen of Thieves] has a reduced probability of stealing items, the price of money obtained from selling stolen items has been reduced, and at the same time, the basic damage of Ezreal's Q [Arcane Shot] has been reduced..."

Jack beamed.

Hongmi glanced at him, "Although due to these two changes, Ezreal's winning rate and selection rate in the current Korean server rankings have declined, other leagues that have implemented version 8.2 still favor Ezreal very much. .”

"Gouba and I feel that this weakening will affect EZ's absolute strong position to a certain extent, but it will not cut off the main artery." Jiang Chenglu also showed his sincerity when translating, which is quite down to earth.

The Shiba Inu had drooped eyebrows and eyes, looking very unhappy.

"The same is true for Zoe. Her skills have been weakened for a while, but she is still very strong at the moment. The difference is that she will not continue to be banned and jailed. She will definitely be released. Players must be proficient in it."

When Hongmi said this, he looked at Lin Ran with eyes full of approval.

This kind of operation is at the peak of the mid laner, and the hero pool is flawless. New heroes can often be picked out as soon as they appear. He can be the core player to carry the rhythm of the team, and he can be the tool player of the "baby daddy" style when he is retired. The last time Mi saw such a fierce player was Lee Sang Hyuk at his peak.

To a certain extent, players of this strength will radiate and improve the coach's tactical ability in a disguised manner, making the lineup and system more diverse, and providing value to the entire team that goes far beyond simply increasing the strength of a single lane.

What you need to know is that the coaching staff has many tactical ideas. If the tactic that team players implement in the professional arena is 1, then the coaching staff behind it must have 5 prototypes of tactics.

But the last thing the audience saw was 1, and they would naturally have the impression that the coaching staff was waiting to die.

There are certainly coaching staffs who are just waiting to die, and there are not a few of them, but the coaching staffs of most teams are still very normal. Not to mention being particularly hard-working and conscientious, at least they are conscientious during their working hours.

The tactics of some teams are still poor, especially in key games, and they start to feel familiar again. The reason is simple-the players have to take the blame honestly.

Because even if the coach has many ideas, he still has to implement them through the players.

For example, Jace, Barrel, Zoe, EZ and Tam.

In the early stage, relying on mid-to-highline rights creates an advantage for the jungler. As long as he gets a slight economic lead, in about 20 minutes, the three heroes Jace, Zoe and EZ will all reach their peak. Whether it is pulling from the river or pushing forward, the 3Poke hero will give The pressure can make the opponent's life worse than death.

The only thing this lineup is afraid of is the opponent's forced attack, but with the R skill of the barrel and Tahm's swallow, this pair of wild assistants can effectively avoid the opponent's initial group control.

Coupled with Jace's acceleration gate and the flexible and agile EZ, this lineup can push past the opponent all the way as long as the opponent cannot force the attack and use the Baron BUFF to force the team in the mid-term.

This is a standard Poke lineup. Even if there is a BP limit, there are many alternative options - for example, it is no problem to replace the ADC with armor-piercing Verus.

Normal coaches can do it, but why not choose it?

The reason lies with the players.

If the team prefix of this poke lineup is IG, it means there is no solution. The bottom lane will resist the pressure and just wait for TheShy and Broiler to show off their skills on the opposite high ground.

What if the team prefix becomes RNG?

You are playing with Jace in your letme and so on. Can he play? You can’t play, you don’t have the ability, you know?

The bottom lane where Uzi and Xiao Ming are located has no line rights. If RNG really gets this lineup, the winning rate will definitely be very low.

This has little to do with the coaching staff. Although they can set training tasks to make the player hero pool wider to adapt to various tactical combinations, the effect is very little. In most cases, they can only serve as a supervisor. In the end, they still have to It’s up to the players themselves.

In this case, Lin Ran's outrageousness is even more highlighted. His hero pool occupies the opponent's ban position, while also giving Hongmi unlimited creative possibilities.

Other teams have very few tactics and many system ideas cannot be used, but Redmi can put most of its tactical ideas into practice.

Thinking of this, Hongmi's tone became much more joyful, "There are many points to pay attention to in the version update... Aftershock damage has been reduced a bit, but the initial increase in defensive resistance has changed from 20+30% of self-resistance to level-based 70-120 points of double resistance."

"This is a big enhancement," Gou Ba stood up and started doing his job. "If we take level 1 as an example, it would take 167 points of double resistance to get 70 points of double resistance. This is simply impossible to achieve. matter."

"At level 18, if you want to use Aftershock to obtain 120 points of double resistance, you need to have 300 points of resistance. Except for heroes such as Malphite and Ornn, it is basically impossible to achieve such a high value of resistance. sex."

Gouhachi adjusted his glasses, "This resistance increase is very bad and will cause a qualitative change in the ecological environment of Nosuke's two locations."

His voice was a little soft, with a bit of Wanwan's unique accent.

"Because these two positions are the most suitable for bringing aftershocks, and they are also the most improved - compared to top laners, they don't have many opportunities to compete, and in most cases they don't have to bear the output task; at the same time, the economy is relatively poor, and it is very difficult to It is difficult to save resistance equipment, and Aftershock can provide them with sufficient basic tankiness."

The reason is easy to understand, and several teammates did not raise any objections.

Lin Ran listened carefully, and he was more interested in the tactics Gouba and Hongmi proposed later.

When it comes to his own job, Gou Ba, who was originally reserved and silent, talks a lot more.

"Aftershocks are prevalent. Once Nosuke becomes a front-row control tool, he may breed tower jumps." Gou Ba circled a circle on the curtain with a laser pointer, "Especially the middle and lower lines, because of the double C Now, it has output ability in the early stage, and as long as the wild assistant gives control, it can jump over the tower."

Hongmi had been standing nearby and listened, and now she said: "It was originally like this, but Riot enhanced the teleportation in version 8.2."

"The original boot time of 4.5 seconds was directly reduced to 3.5 seconds..." When he talked about this, he couldn't help but slam the table. It seemed that he was greatly influenced by the Korean fellow Xiba people during this period, "This second The transmission time may cause variables in our tower crossing!"

Chunli has been planning to leave her job recently. FPX asked him to become CEO. In terms of personal achievements and salary, it is much better than staying at Riot as a designer.

Before resigning, he did not forget to leave several gifts for YM.

The first thing is teleportation.

In the version where the teleportation guidance time is as long as 4.5 seconds, YM can unscrupulously launch 4 packs of 2 on the bottom lane, because they know very well that the opponent's top and middle single lanes cannot participate in the battle.

The teleportation time is 4.5 seconds. When you land, you can only collect corpses for your own bottom lane; if you are stuck in a prejudgment and hand over the teleport, YM will directly disperse. Anyway, you haven't reached the bottom lane yet, and you won't lose minions if you return to the lane. .

After the opponent has teleported, if YM finds another opportunity, he can slap him to death.

Chun Li's cut was just right. The chain reaction caused in Summoner's Rift in 1 second was extremely exaggerated. The four packs and two towers after YM must be carefully planned. If you are not careful, your opponent may come to support you. People reap the scraps.

Several team members were whispering to each other, and they could also see that the enhancement of teleportation was very detrimental to YM tactics.

In fact, Hongmi and Gouba already had a way to deal with it, but they did not rush to say it out, but let the team members discuss and think first.

After all, several players have experienced strong winds and waves. Their years of professional experience have given them an outstanding tactical sense, and they may also discuss some unexpected tactical plans.

"I think we need to get some heroes with strong lane rights for the top lane," Liu Qingsong first put forward his own point of view, "For example, if a type like Gnar pushes the lane under the tower, the opponent's top laner will definitely not dare to teleport casually."

"If the opponent insists on teleporting to save the bottom lane, we can just wait for him to land." He licked his lips and took a sip of water in his mouth. "He will have to drop two waves of soldiers when he comes down. If he doesn't teleport, we will continue to cross the tower. .”

Jin Gong continued the topic, "But in this case, I have to know the position of the opposite jungler."

"If, I mean if," Jack crossed his legs, "the first round of jungle clearing is a replica of the S7 World Championship, focusing on the upper midfielder, and then controlling the vision in the upper half, allowing Sibago to press the line."

"When the wild monsters are about to be refreshed in the second round, Xiaoyao, go down again and see if you have a chance to cross the tower."

The waiter frowned, "This can't be done..."

As a jungler, he naturally knows how difficult this position plan is. The ideas proposed by several teammates look good, but the feasibility is really not high.

In order to implement the tactics mentioned by teammates to the end, one is to win the first half of the battle in the early stage so that one can invade the opponent's jungle area.

In this way, the right to enter the lane is guaranteed, and Jin Gong can easily push the lane under the opponent's tower.

Then we have to cross the entire Summoner's Rift at a time point of 4 to 5 minutes, running from the top lane to the bottom lane to gank. This takes 30 seconds. Under normal circumstances, except for fast-moving troops, no one would choose such an outrageous option. route.

Moreover, in this half minute, the situation of the top lane troops has been changing. If it is not controlled well, everything will explode.

Hongmi folded his hands on the side, pretending to be cool without speaking, and let the players continue to discuss freely. This approach is like brainstorming, allowing several people's ideas to come together. After continuous correction and improvement, maybe it can actually be formed. A prototype of a set of tactics.

"I think this is okay," Lin Ran, who was sitting on the gaming chair, leaned forward and stared at the Summoner's Rift whiteboard. "The third wave of artillery troop lines, Jack and Liu Qingsong, put the lines in."

"You want to push back?" Jack frowned.

"Well, in this way, the sixth wave of artillery soldiers will be pushed over..." Lin Ran nodded slightly, "Xiaotian, you'd better help in the lower half of the area at this time to avoid accidents. If necessary, I will also be there. Make sure to This wave of troops is pushed out."

"After the troop line is pushed down, Liu Qingsong, you and Xiaotian come to the middle together. I will organize the troop line at this time to capture the opponent's mid laner."

He stood up, took a marker, and drew a circle on the grass outside the walls on both sides of the middle lane on the Summoner's Rift whiteboard.

"The difficulty lies in how to make this wave of ganks successful. The field of view in these positions must be well controlled..." After Lin Ran finished speaking, he drew a circle on the whiteboard and included several pieces of grass connecting the middle and lower roads. "Liu Qingsong, come here." In the middle, remember to avoid the bushes that may obscure your vision."

Tear the wound listened carefully, and Jiang Chenglu was also translating Lin Ran's words to Hongmi.

Gou Ba was taking notes on the side. None of the players' ideas were mature tactics. He would discuss with Hong Mi and slowly improve them when he went back.

Occasional whims may be expanded into a rigorous strategy by the coaching staff.

Xiaotian looked at the Summoner's Rift that was painted into a mess and thought for a moment, "Do you want to use this Gank to get rid of the teleportation in the upper and middle lanes?"

"That's right." Lin Ran was not surprised that Xiao Yao figured out his thoughts. He had lived with the Garlic Bastard for two years, which was longer than the time he had been with Su Cheng. He even knew exactly what underwear the other party was wearing today, and they had a clear understanding of each other. It’s even more basic operations.

"It takes 3.5 seconds for the opposing top laner to land. If we have two aftershocks, we won't lose much health even if we jump over the tower."

Once Aftershock is triggered, Nosuke's double resistance will easily exceed 100, and he can easily resist towers.

Moreover, the opponent only has one mid laner and only two summoner skills, which is much easier to kill than the bottom duo.

Lin Ran thought for a while and continued to add to his tactics, "If the opponent's top laner teleports and protects, and the jungler is also counter-crouching, then we will retreat directly. There are many escape intersections in the middle, making it easy to escape."

"Our primary goal is to trick the opponent into teleporting. If we can kill the opponent's mid laner, that would be great."

Finally, he clenched his fist fiercely: "These are all inducements to deceive their skills to a minimum, and in the end, they will be beaten to pieces in a four-for-two package!"

After hearing this, Xiaotian believed that Lin Ran's idea was more realistic and more feasible than the plan previously proposed by Liu Qingsong.

At least you don't have to run around by yourself, have to invade and control the vision, and have to cross the map to jump the tower.

"But..." Gou Ba still felt something was wrong, "Are you so sure that you have the initiative in the middle?"

Help put pressure on the bottom lane and create a pushback line; create gank opportunities in the middle lane...

Everything has to be completed in the early stage, which makes me feel tired just thinking about it.

This is undoubtedly a challenge to Lin Ran's map radiation ability and troop line control ability.

"No problem," Lin Ran said with bright eyes, "My ID is in the middle, which is the source of my confidence."

Gou Ba's breath was stagnant.

He finally discovered that there was a fundamental gap between YM and the team he worked for before - the core Lin Ran was very strong and had unparalleled confidence.

As he said himself, Ran's ID is currently a mountain in the middle.

For other mid laners, it is even more frightening than seeing Faker at his peak.

Many times, the opponent himself will be intimidated.

Just like seeing the enemy in the qualifying match who has a 100% winning rate, I subconsciously want to hold on.

Lin Ran didn't do anything fancy. He felt that he was simply better than his opponent, so wouldn't it be reasonable to run him over?

Generally speaking, the tactical arrangement follows the principle of equal strength of both sides, using pure games and wits to tear open the opponent's wounds, find loopholes and kill with a single blow.

But now the strength of Lin Ran and his opponent are not equal at all. The idea he proposed before was based on his own strength.

It sounds unreasonable, but if you think about it carefully, you can't find any reason to refute it.

I can suppress you in the middle, so what should I do?

"Hongmi, what did you think of?" Jin Gong asked directly.

He had dealt with Hongmi when he was a trainee at Samsung, and the two had a fairly close relationship.

Hongmi moved quietly and furtively, like an experienced driver in a QQ group, and showed them a picture.

"Oh..." Everyone said in unison, their voices drawn out, and they showed a mean smile.

…

At 7 p.m. on February 27, Shanghai Super Brand Square.

YM vs. EDG.

Today's Guodian is in good shape. Although their opponents were weaker and did not encounter a tough match a year ago, they won easily with ease and have won 4 consecutive victories.

"Today's game is also a battle for the top spot in the Eastern Division," Doll Miller sat in the commentary box to analyze the situation. "EDG has given people a lot of new ideas after replacing their new top laner Ray."

"Yes, Raynar's proficiency is quite good. We can even see EDG sometimes trying 41-point push. This can be regarded as their progress in the new season."

At this time, the director also gave a comparison of the data of the two teams in previous games.

"Hiss... YM's 15-minute economic lead is a bit weird," Miller couldn't help but sigh, "+4369!"

The viewers who had just poured into the live broadcast room were sending 77777 comments on the barrage.

Wawa was also confused. The numbers were indeed amazing, and he had never seen such an exaggerated economic lead. "Although I gained a lot of data after playing two rounds of FPX, my dominance is too strong..."

"After Hongmi came to YM, BP felt very stable," Miller said eloquently. "They didn't play tricks and used the hero pool to put pressure on their opponents. In the end, the lineup they got was even and stable. But it just happens to be a little stronger than the opponent.”

Guo Hao and YM players also think so. Redmi is really easy to use, and besides being expensive, there are no shortcomings.

Jin Gong, who was sitting in the upper unit, received the referee's notice of the start of the game and quickly started the BP session of this game!
