LOL: What is a roaming mid laner?

"In this focus battle, YM defeated RNG 2-0 and continued to consolidate its top position in the Western Division!"

Amid the passionate commentary, Uzi took off his headphones and looked at the YM player seats on the other side with a slightly helpless look.

It is impossible for anyone to feel calm when the opponent uses their most proud four-guarantee-one system to defeat them.

Too cruel.

Uzi's mind was in a state of confusion now.

In the last wave of team battles, Galio and Shen were like two demon gods, standing firmly at the front of the YM formation, allowing Big Mouth to output without pressure from behind.

The range of RNG aircraft and Xia is not that long. The piercing output of feathers and aircraft bombs are simply not enough to penetrate the shield provided by Liu Qing Truffle. The main output method still relies on basic attacks.

But Shen restrained them with a sword formation, and Uzi had to be wary of the Qinggang Shadow who might come forward at any time. Xiaoyao already had a warrior jungle knife + three-phase power + storm sword, an A If you pull it up, you can kick it through a person's aorta.

Moreover, when RNG fights head-on, Dao Mei is basically useless. She is as brittle as a piece of paper. It is unrealistic to enter the field head-on. She is turned into a happy goat by Lulu, and her health is reduced in a second.

There is no way to fight in a team fight!

Uzi blushed and scratched the back of his head, a feeling of powerlessness welling up in his heart.

RNG's lineup is about pulling and split-pushing.

As a result, one of the towers on the upper and lower lanes of YM was still standing there at the end of the game!

In the overall game, they only took out the first tower of YM.

It can be said that RNG's tactical thinking in this game completely failed and was not implemented.

Who can you blame?

Letme played well, was impressive in the top lane, and slightly suppressed Jin Gong. For his debut, his performance was definitely not bad.

Xiangguo's matchup in the jungle was indeed suppressed, but after all, the opponent's midfielder was Qinggangying + Galio, so it would be abnormal not to suffer a loss, not to mention that he finally snatched a big dragon from Xiaowu.

…

Uzi thought about it for a while, but he couldn't find any of his teammates who had a problem.

This is what I'm afraid of.

There were no problems with the player's operation and execution.

In the end, he was crushed by YM.

This kind of game doesn't even have any review value.

Because RNG can't find any room for improvement.

Just simply can't win.

It's extremely despairing.

People's joys and sorrows are not the same, but all the YM players are very happy.

This hearty victory was not in vain for them to travel all the way from Shanghai to Beijing.

Jack glanced at the post-match data panel and found that his damage was undoubtedly the highest among the others, and he suddenly became very happy.

"Did you see that?" He looked at Lin Ran next to him with a shy face, "Dude's damage! 22443! The average output is close to 1000!"

"Hmm..." Lin Ran didn't look at it at all, because he knew that he was a Galio, and the data would definitely not be good. He poured the drink from the cup into his mouth, and at the same time said a few perfunctory words, "You are the king of damage, okay. Alright?"

His output ratio in the YM team has never been increased. In the final analysis, it is because the team's ADC is too strong in dealing damage. I don't know when Jack dealt damage. Anyway, when the final settlement panel comes out, he will always be at the top.

Lin Ran also adapted "Little Sloppy" and hummed when he stood up: "He is the one who hurts the king..."

Jack was furious, but there were cameras around him and he didn't dare to retaliate blatantly, so he could only slap his midfielder on the back.

Xiaotian was still doing the finishing touches next to him, "So what if it does the highest damage? Isn't it all invalid output?"

"The MVP is still mine!"

He is bound to win the MVP in this game, mainly because his competitors are not very good.

He drives the tempo of the whole game by himself, maxing out damage and matchup economy, and at the same time, the battle loss ratio is very good.

Except for being robbed of a dragon, it can even be said to be flawless.

In comparison, Jack's game felt a bit unremarkable. Except for the Rift Herald's sudden burst of explosive output in the team battle, the rest of the game could only be described as average.

In terms of performance alone, he is naturally not as outstanding as him.

When they crossed the stage, the five members of RNG also stood up, adjusted their emotions, and took the initiative to extend their right hands.

"Are you going to have dinner tonight?" Li Yuanhao's drake voice sounded very friendly, "I'll be the host!"

He wouldn't be too depressed after losing in the regular season.

"Is there anything good to eat around Wukesong?" Lin Ran naturally didn't know much about this place as RNG did at home.

Li Yuanhao thought for a while, "There is a Yiyin Banquet in the South District of Huaxi Live. It seems to be the Black Pearl Restaurant?"

"Let's go together..." Before Shi Senming could finish his words, he noticed that Jack, who was about to shake hands with him, had a strange expression on his face.

When the Shiba Inu heard about the food, his eyes suddenly lit up and he wanted to taste it.

The corner of Shi Senming's mouth raised a subtle arc. He thought of the miserable situation in which he was ridiculed by Jack in the past two games, and he suddenly felt like teasing.

"Most of the main dishes there are seafood. If you have to go, tell me earlier. I could take you there last night. If everything goes well, you can enjoy watching the game remotely in the ward today... "

Before he finished speaking, Shiba Inu replied, "Quie, when the time comes, I will have to enjoy the same life as you. By the way, Shi Senming, are you enjoying watching MSI at home this year?"

This sentence was a direct hit, Xiao Ming broke the defense on the spot, and the two old teammates started arguing like elementary school students.

Lin Ran listened to eight or nine out of ten sentences about the quarrel that had to be silenced, and quickly switched his attention to Midhu.

"Thank you." He patted the customer on the shoulder.

"?" Li Yuanhao didn't react for a while.

What's the meaning?

Is this consent or rejection?

Before he could figure it out, Lin Ran said the next sentence, "My partner is here today and I have to have dinner with her. Thank you for the recommendation."

"...You are a real dog." Guan Hu said through gritted teeth.

Lin Ran laughed out loud, "Tomorrow, let's have a meal at noon tomorrow."

After all, the two clubs have always had a good relationship since the S6 World Championship, and the same is true for the players. They are more or less friends. Lin Ran has a close relationship with Shi Senming and Li Yuanhao.

When you come to someone's home stadium as a guest, it is still necessary to have a meal before leaving.

As soon as he finished speaking, the Mala Xiang Guo and others next to him came over and expressed that they also wanted to eat.

"彳亍," Midhu responded in a long voice, noticing that the handshake took a little long, "we will discuss it later tonight."

After the handshake session, Lin Ran and his teammates stood in a row at the center of the stage and bowed to the audience.

He was greeted by roaring cheers from the audience.

Returning to his seat, Lin Ran probably drank too much to fill his cup and felt a little urgent to urinate. However, before he could finish rolling up the keyboard cable, a staff member reminded him that he would be interviewed later.

He could only unplug the mouse cable from the USB socket, use the mouse pad to roll up all the peripherals, and hand them to Liu Qingsong.

He trotted all the way and went to the backstage bathroom first.

"Today we have invited the mid laner and jungler of the YM team for our post-match interview..." The petite host named Weiwei had a sweet smile on her face, "Let me say hello to everyone first."

Lin Ran and Garlic Bastard handled the interview content honestly.

The main reason is that the two of them are really unfamiliar with the new host.

With the continuous advancement and improvement of the league's home and away game mechanism, each major home court now has its own exclusive host. Familiar faces such as Ren Dong and Yu Zhen have all stayed at the official Shanghai home court.

This was the first time they had met the female host of RNG, so their attitude was naturally more upright and serious.

"First of all, congratulations to YM for winning the game 2-0 today. How are you two feeling?"

Lin Ran answered cautiously, "I'm still very happy...because RNG is also our old opponent and is very strong. Being able to defeat them is definitely something worth celebrating."

Xiaoyao said the same thing. After all, this is their home court, so they still have to show some respect. It’s not good to jump too much.

Sure enough, YM Nakano's words made the mood of RNG fans at the scene turn from cloudy to clear in an instant.

The female host was also satisfied and asked the next question, "The Galio played by Brother Ran in the second game was hovering near the middle lane in the middle of the game, while Xiaoyao ran to the top lane to replenish troops. How did the team communicate at that time? "

This time the garlic bastard answered first, "The reason is very simple. It is useless to give Brother Ran the economy. You must let someone like me who can carry to take the troops. In these two games, I was the MVP, which can be proved." A lot of questions, right?”

Lin Ran pondered for two seconds, "Xiao Yao is right... In the future, I suggest my opponents stop trying to catch me and focus on the jungle first. This is the top C position in our team."

There was good-natured laughter from the audience.

Weiwei pursed her lips and smiled, then glanced at the card, "Last question, earlier today, the US test server released the latest patch content, Sword Demon will receive a rework... Brother Ran, please give me your opinion. What do you think about this?"

Lin Ran had a question mark on his face.

Have I traveled through time?

Wasn’t the Sword Demon rework news a month ago?

He looked at the petite girl next to him in confusion.

Normally during post-game interviews, the host would show the questions on the card to the interviewee while waiting, but Lin Ran had just slipped away to the bathroom, which wasted some time. As a result, he was already on stage before he had time to read the questions.

The female host also realized that the question she raised had misunderstood Lin Ran, and quickly explained, "The designer claimed that some time ago, the sword demon after the first redesign was killing everyone in the professional arena. The intensity was too exaggerated, so it will be Redo it a second time!”

Lin Ran and Garlic Bastard looked at each other.

The two of them felt a little uneasy.

No way?

The 8.14 version has already been trimmed once, do you want to do it again?

The interview fell into awkward silence.

The barrage was lively and lively. Although many viewers chose to close the live broadcast room after the game, after all, the base is here, and there are definitely not a few people who are willing to stay and wait for the players to be interviewed.

[If you don’t surf for a long time, the big one will come? 】

[Aatrox players are furious! 】

[Olaf players are frightened]

[I have practiced Sword Demon 300 times this month, and I just wanted to get a good score, but you told me that I have to do it again? Did I practice in vain? 】

[Who is the culprit? I don’t need to @, right? Send me a message on Brother Ran’s Weibo! 】

[Brother Ran, can you stop being so disgusted and dumbfounded? Just cut one of the heroes when you play. The player is innocent. He just wants to get points. What crime is he guilty of? 】

Lin Ran rarely lost control of his expression management, and it took him two seconds to digest the information.

"Hmm..." He remembered that he still had interview questions to answer, and immediately thought of an answer. "I hope Riot won't disappoint players. After all, Sword Demon's previous image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts."

Lin Ran put down the phone and felt uneasy.

After Xiaoyao added a few words to the side, the new fan interaction session added this year will soon usher in.

He was afraid of knocking Su Hongmin to the stage.

By then, I'm afraid more than one person will be embarrassed.

Fortunately, the probability of winning was very low, and Lin Ran was not considered African. Until the last fan came on stage, it was not the Su family's turn.

He breathed a sigh of relief, handed the club gift in his hand to the audience in front of him, and then gave a thumbs up to the side, acting as a photo-taking tool.

After finishing all this, Lin Ran handed back the microphone and quickly entered the backstage passage.

He prays now that Aatrox won't be changed too harshly, and at least there will be a resurrection mechanism, right?

This is the most unique gameplay that distinguishes Sword Demon from other heroes...

Unfortunately.

He prayed in vain.

"Designer CertainlyT claimed that some teams used the resurrection mechanism of Sword Demon to gain too much profit in the professional arena. Whether in the early or late stages, the resurrection granted by the Great Destruction made Aatrox invincible in team battles. He You can enter the battlefield without any burden and absorb enough damage for the team. Obviously, the resurrection attribute of the skill is very unscientific in the professional arena..."

Lin Ran was lying on the chair in the team lounge, eyes fixed on the screen of his mobile phone.

Riot designers made their message very clear.

After the rework of Sword Demon, the resurrection function will definitely be cut off.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Jack complained. "The Conqueror is also preparing to weaken. In addition, Qinggang Shadow, Draven, and the Captain are also weakened. They don't want to give us a way to survive!"

"No, I don't understand!" Shiba Inu shouted loudly, "You can just weaken other heroes, but Draven provokes him? Should such an unpopular character be weakened?"

"It's clear that we want to engage in YM!" He couldn't help but start to spread his hands.

The reactions of the other team members were similar to Shiba Inu.

They all felt that the fist was too targeted at them.

Can a normal person take a hero that has just been redone for a month and remake it again?

Isn’t this a huge departure from heaven?

Hongmi's voice was low, "The specific rework content has not been released yet, it will probably be in the next two days... We have to be prepared."

Since he had been preparing for the game against RNG today, he had no time to take into account the changes to the test server. When Lin Ran was interviewed just now, he learned that Sword Demon had been redesigned again.

Hongmi is inevitably a bit pessimistic.

In the 8.14 version, Riot has weakened almost all the heroes that YM is good at. Now that it is coming fiercely, it will definitely not give up.

"It's over, it's over," Jin Gong's barbecue-smelling Mandarin echoed in the silent lounge. He was so mad that he roared several times, "What should I do, my chest brother Meng!"

In YM, he and Lin Ran have the most overlapping hero pools.

What Rambo, Qinggangying, Crocodile, Sword Demon, Sword Girl...

As long as the character controlled by Lin Ran takes a knife, it is equivalent to the building block tribute being weakened.

You must know that he is already 23 years old. In the League of Legends e-sports circle, countless peers at this age have chosen to retire or take a back seat, and very few can persist.

The disadvantages brought by age are obvious. Jin Gong can feel that his speed in practicing heroes is not as fast as before.

Originally, after practicing 20 games of ranked games, I could roughly familiarize myself with the gameplay and mechanics of a character. Now, 50 games in one night is enough to be able to take out the hero.

The weakened Sword Demon and Sword Girl in version 8.14 have already caused him a lot of trouble.

If there is another big wave in version 8.15, Jin Gong feels that he may collapse.

Lin Ran didn't know what to do.

This fist move is too harsh.

And the feedback on weakening is very fast.

Lin Ran only selected mid laner Olaf last week, and used the three-life Sword Demon to kill everyone. As a result, the general direction of Sword Demon's rework today has been determined, and the Conqueror was also slashed.

His heart was in a mess and he was helpless.

The phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from his girlfriend. She and Su Hongmin had left the venue and were waiting for Lin Ran outside the venue.

After replying hastily, Lin Ran frowned and stood up, "Don't worry about this now. No matter how we think about it, we can't change it. There are still group visits waiting for us..."

"Let's go out first."

The YM team members who were interviewed by the group were unhappy, and the atmosphere in the room was somewhat solidified.

Riot changed the version again, quickly diluting the joy of today’s victory.

The e-sports media people sitting below are very good at observing words and emotions. They know that YM, from the players to the coaching staff, is a little unhappy, and they try to avoid topics related to the test server version update.

However, the consequence is that the interview script they obtained has no selling points, and the performance is not expected to be very satisfactory.

Guo Hao was responsible for wiping the butt and appeasing the media reporters after the group interview. Since they gave him face, he had to accept it.

These reporters try their best not to offend. The power of public opinion they hold cannot be underestimated, and they can even affect the audience's impression of the club.

They made a promise that after the summer games are over, the length of media interviews can be appropriately relaxed, and the reporters smiled happily.

They also have to rely on the YM club to earn a living. With successive wins in world competitions, YM has become the most prestigious e-sports club in the country.

As long as the two letters 'YM' are added to the label of the news reported now, the number of clicks can be increased several times. For this reason, many media have become a headline party, no matter what, they will try to blame YM. .

It can be said that as long as we can get YM's first-hand interview information, we don't have to worry about this month's bonus.

The two parties reached a tacit understanding, leaving a burst of laughter in the room.

Lin Ran put on his bag, said hello to other people in the training department, and left the backstage.

Every time they go to an away game, they will have a half-day holiday. After the game ends that night, until they return to Shanghai the next afternoon, it is the players' free time.

There is no environment and time for training anyway, so it is better to give the players a break to catch up on their sleep.

Lin Ran walked out of the exit channel and saw Su Cheng holding Su Hongmin's arm and talking nonstop.

His girlfriend noticed him immediately, and without any hesitation, she let go of her father's arm and trotted over with her long, thin legs.

"Why are you coming out so slowly? I'm almost starving to death!" She smiled and crossed her hands on the back of Lin Ran's neck. She stood on tiptoes and placed a kiss on her boyfriend's cheek.

The soft and warm touch brushed against Lin Ran's skin.

But what I felt was not happiness, but like falling into an ice cave.

He could feel the slightest hint of murderous intent from Su Hongmin.

Orange, why don't you leave it here to cause hatred for me? Galio opens the Durand Shield, right?

"Hello, Uncle Su... what should we have for dinner?" He quickly changed the subject, "I heard they said there is a good Shandong cuisine restaurant here."

"This restaurant?" Su Hongmin took out his mobile phone and glanced at Lin Ran. It was the restaurant he mentioned.

"I've already reserved a seat, just go directly." He motioned for the two of them to follow.

The restaurant is on the first floor of Huaxi Live Mall, where RNG's home venue is located, and can be reached by walking a few hundred meters.

During the evening rush hour, the place was overcrowded. Even though Lin Ran had taken off his eye-catching team uniform beforehand, his appearance was too easy to recognize. On the way to the restaurant, he was approached and asked for two photos.

He couldn't keep a straight face, so he could only smile and chat with fans.

After a quarter of an hour, he finally entered the restaurant. The quiet environment and the air-conditioning hitting his face did not make Lin Ran move away from the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart when he learned that his fist was targeting YM again, but it could be regarded as a slight relief. .

This restaurant is said to be a Shandong cuisine restaurant, but there are many new and creative dishes, including Iberian ham, and the prices are very high.

Before Lin Ran could pay attention to the quality of the dishes, Su Hongmin asked a series of questions.

Sitting at the same table with my future father-in-law, it is really difficult to treat it as an ordinary home-cooked meal.

Su Hongmin took the opportunity to discuss this game and successfully extended the topic to home and away operations, and also asked him his views on this aspect.

Lin Ran sat upright, not daring to neglect at all, racking his brains to keep up with Su Hongmin's train of thought.

However, as a young man who has never had any serious experience in society, his social experience and analysis and interpretation of problems are obviously not as good as those of Su Hongmin, who is wily and savvy and holds a high position.

It didn't take long before he was defeated.

Su Hongmin still wanted to continue chatting, but was interrupted by his daughter.

"You two eat the sea cucumber quickly. It won't taste good after it's cooled down..."

Su Cheng wanted to say something just now, but she never said anything. Seeing her father's reluctance, she finally spoke to dissuade him.

"Lin Ran, please try this braised black pork again. The salty and sweet taste is just right." While the two men were chatting, the dishes were almost ready. Su Cheng remembered the waiter's introduction to the dishes in his mind, and then repeated it to the two of them. Listen, "The sea sausage here is also very crispy, and it tastes great when paired with chives."

Only then did Lin Ran have time to taste them one by one. Fortunately, this store was not a scam, and for him, the taste was just right.

After finishing the dishes, more than an hour had passed. The sky outside the window had completely darkened. The flickering neon lights and the bright moon hanging in the sky reflected each other and fell into Lin Ran's eyes.

He lowered his eyes and took a big mouthful of food, turning his grief and anger into appetite.

Su Cheng was chatting and joking with her father nearby, and the private room was full of laughter.

She could keenly feel that something was not right about her boyfriend's mood. Although he pretended to be very good on the surface, he was clearly trying to force a smile while chatting.

She and Su Hongmin joked about her mother's cooking skills, and then she winked after seeing that all the dishes on the table were being sorted.

"Dad, you've finished eating, right? Can you drive the car out first..."

Su Hongmin, who received his daughter's message, didn't hesitate this time. Knowing that the two young men had something to talk about, he took the key, paid the bill, and went to the parking lot.

There was only one couple left in the private room.

"What are you worried about?" Su Cheng sat a little closer this time, "What about the version update?"

"Well..." Lin Ran put down his chopsticks, leaned on the backrest, closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose, "I'm afraid something will go wrong. Frequent version changes will always have the greatest impact on us."

Top teams like to have a fixed version. It is best to use these dozen or twenty heroes and several sets of tactics in rotation throughout the year.

They are the most typical vested interests. The version is fixed, their strength will not change much, and their rankings and results are very stable.

Once the version undergoes drastic changes, a dark horse will suddenly emerge, and the team that previously occupied a high position will have to spend more time consolidating its position.

This is what Lin Ran is afraid of.

"Don't be too nervous," Su Cheng took the initiative to stretch out her slender arm and cross her fingers with her boyfriend, her eyes full of affection. "You have to have confidence in the abilities of yourself, your teammates and the coaching staff..."

"You are very strong. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most perfect team I have ever seen."

"Group opening points, harvesting positions, damage creation points, pressure-resistant sacrifice positions, team command... YM is not lacking in everything. The basic structure is here. No matter how the version changes, the strength will not be bad."

Lin Ran shook his head.

"I know that the team's strength is not bad, but from me personally to the club, we will never be satisfied with this evaluation."

"Especially in the World Championships, we have no room for error." He said softly.

Since YM has reached this point, its goal is naturally to win the championship.

The easiest way to win this dangerous road is to defeat all opponents.

It's not like the Great Destruction. There is no resurrection mechanism to use. Once you fall down, you will never get up again.

Whether it's the first step or the last step.

For YM, it's all a failure.

Everyone remembers Faker's failure in S6. Although in the eyes of most professional players, runner-up in the global finals is a high point that will never be reached in a lifetime, for Lee Sang Hyuk at the time, it was even a shame. .

Lin Ran is now afraid that he will become the Faker he was three years ago.

He doesn't want to leave any regrets in his career.

The more worried he became, the more panicked he became. Lin Ran was afraid that a certain version change would poke YM's weakness and cause the dynasty that was about to be completed to collapse in an instant.

Su Cheng was rarely silent.

She knew what her boyfriend and the boys of the same age were after.

The income they have earned in the past two years is enough to give them financial freedom, and they can still stay in the professional arena and fight for the highest honor of a Triple Crown.

In this case, there is really no room for error in the World Championship.

The goal is only to win the championship, and it can only be to win the championship.

"You..." She was at a loss for words and showed a bit of helplessness.

Su Cheng was just a student who was new to the world and didn't know much about how to inject chicken blood into people.

She regretted letting Su Hongmin go. If her father was still here, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to solve this problem?

Su Cheng decided to persuade her boyfriend to feel better first, and then let her father handle it after getting in the car.

She picked up the serving chopsticks and gave Lin Ran a piece of braised pork, "You are just belittling yourself..."

While urging Lin Ran to eat more, she asked, "Is RNG strong?"

"Strong." Lin Ran said without thinking.

Just kidding, now RNG can dominate the bottom lane combinations in the entire LPL just by relying on Uzi, not to mention that the other four positions are also at the domestic first-tier level.

Needless to say, the strength of this team is not difficult for RNG to enter the World Championship.

"So did you win today?"

Su Cheng tried to be persuasive.

"You're not talking about being useless..." Lin Ran's arm was twisted by his girlfriend, and he immediately replied honestly, "I win."

"How did you win?" Su Cheng continued to ask.

"The first game was a single push with a point push, and the second game was four guarantees and one..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Cheng became energetic.

"Then do you include four guarantees and one in your regular tactics?"

"Of course not. In this version of the normal team, who can play with four guarantees and one?" Lin Ran responded subconsciously.

Su Cheng slapped her hands and made a crisp sound.

"yes!"

"You can win against a strong team like RNG with your unconventional four-guaranteed tactics. What else is there to be afraid of?"

"How many people in the world can beat RNG?"

Lin Ranwen was stunned by his girlfriend's words.

He frowned and said nothing.

There are absolutely only a handful of players in the five major competitions that are stronger than RNG.

Thinking about it this way, his assessment of YM's strength seems to be a bit too low...

"I haven't asked you yet, how does it feel to defeat them head-on with RNG's best four-guaranteed strategy?"

Su Cheng looked at her boyfriend with twinkling eyes.

She just wanted Lin Ran to feel better quickly and kept guiding her boyfriend to think in a good direction.

"etc……"

Lin Ran's breathing suddenly became heavy.

"Use RNG's best four guarantees and one to defeat RNG... I seem to have a way to deal with fists."

He stood up suddenly, startling the girl.
