Chapter 207: The Earth Dragon Can Be Released, but the Crocodile Must Die
MMD is very confused.
What happened to the fact that Crocodile was easy to beat Noxus? What happened to the fact that he could waste health without any responsibility and snowball continuously?
The Noxus in front of me is completely different from the one described by the coach!
Backstage lounge.
FW coach Steak’s face looked like a burnt steak.
Professional players have a key characteristic.
That is...
Paranoia!
This is not a defect.
Because there is no 'paranoia' bonus, you will doubt yourself while fighting and wonder if you have taken the wrong path. It is absolutely impossible to reach a sufficient level.
But.
There is always right and wrong in different directions of paranoia, or to be more precise, there is a difference between high and low.
As a former professional player and current coach, Niu Niang, after watching all of Xing Dao's games, still feels that Crocodile's mechanism is far superior to Noxus and is enough to offset the shortcomings of MMD's personal abilities.
At the very least, you can get last hits under the tower and gain experience outside the tower.
What I never expected was.
A simple Q at the beginning of the game made MMD fall into despair.
That’s not all.
FW's mid laner Maple got Leblanc, the Deceiver, and was also at a disadvantage facing Scout's Syndra in the middle lane.
On the one hand, the values of Ahri have been weakened.
On the other hand, EDG often bans Leblanc, mainly because there are plenty of ban slots and no heroes with higher priority, not because Scout really can't beat her.
FW's situation at this time was that the top lane collapsed, the bottom lane was blown up, and the middle lane was also suppressed.
This made the jungler Karsa quite confused.
I don't know which way I can help.
After a while, the top lane soldiers finally advanced towards FW's half again. Karsa rushed over in advance, set up a good vision, and protected MMD from taking on this big wave.
But inevitably the experience is shared.
So when Xing Dao pushed forward again and reached level 6, the crocodile in MMD's hand was only level 4.
"Hey, hey, hey, something's wrong!"
Wawa was obviously looking forward to the show: "Crocodile is missing a flash, so he lost a big move, and General's sprint is also ready!"
The CD time of Ghost Sprint is 180 seconds.
Clicking on the talent 'Insight' can also reduce the cooldown time by 15%.
153 seconds, or once every 2 minutes and 33 seconds.
It has been restored to a usable state.
Looking at MMD standing under the tower, Xing Dao sprinted over without saying a word.
Raise your hand for normal attack.
Press S to cancel.
Raise your hand again and make an S to cancel.
After two consecutive tricks, MMD became confused and did not dare to give up this key control easily.
The third time he raised his hand, Xing Dao did not cancel it.
The axe hit the crocodile's scales hard!
W【Crippling Strike】!
Q【Kill all around】!
As soon as the hand-raising action appears, use the W skill immediately and press the Q key almost simultaneously, so that the W skill covers the normal attack action, and the Q skill covers the W action.
There is only a small part of normal attack in the whole process, plus a screen of charging Q appears.
MMD obviously didn't know that Noxus had such a "hidden knife" combo. When he was hurt, he used the W skill [Cold Hunting] to stun the opponent.
As a result, the battle blade was hit by the axe blade as soon as it was swung out.
Three layers of bleeding effects immediately appeared around him.
Three floors!
"Why did you go straight to the third floor?!"
Miller didn't understand it at all, but the fight was still going on, so he had to explain based on the situation in front of him: "Crocodile E went out and was pulled back, and then he was hit again, with four layers of bleeding on his body."
"One more step E, and I'll be caught up."
"Five layers of bleeding, Noxus enters the blood rage effect, kill the crocodile with one slash!"
I have to admit it.
Compared to the group stage.
FW was much more stable in the knockout rounds.
It was not until Xing Dao reached level six that he got the first drop of blood, and his efficiency was much lower than usual.
But for the heroes Noxus and Crocodile, the gap of 37 last hits and 2 levels in six and a half minutes is impossible to make up.
"MMD will never be able to come out on top in this game!"
Wawa was very happy: "Unless the jungler Rambo and the mid laner LeBron keep going to the top lane and kill General three or four times, there is really no chance to fight."
"Also, there is a key point." Miller pointed out: "General played very steadily in this game. He didn't keep pushing the line like before. He basically controlled the line and played against the crocodile. How could you catch him?"
"If Crocodile dares to enter the experience zone, there will be big problems. Noxus already has three speed boots." PDD is very sure.
Xing Dao went out with Doran's Blade.
Returned to the city with 51 last hits and 400 gold coins for the first blood.
I spent 900 to buy a pair of three-speed shoes, and then got two small items, a long sword and a red crystal.
The hard attributes provided by the equipment are not much higher than those of the crocodile, but the movement speed is a full 60 points higher. If you get the chance, it is easy to chase it to death with one set of moves.
Moreover, although the deceleration resistance effect provided by the three-speed shoes is far inferior to that of the Wind Rider, when combined with the higher movement speed and sprint improvement, the impact on Rambo and Ashe will be much smaller, and there is absolutely no waste of economy.
"EDG only needs to defend one point now."
PDD continued: "It was the wave after FW's bottom lane and jungler reached level 6, with the ultimate skills of Divine Arrow and Scorch."
"If you want to be safe, you can actually let the Earth Dragon go."
Inside the river.
The first one to refresh is the earth dragon.
important.
But you have to take it.
Because EDG not only has the advantage during the laning phase.
The top laner had a crushing effect and the team battles were also very easy to win.
There is no need to take risks during the strongest waves of Rambo, Ashe and Gem.
After all, FW is not a team like SKT, and taking an Earth Dragon will not affect the overall situation.
Not unexpected.
EDG didn't pay much attention to the first Earth Dragon and just casually provided vision. Even though they had the advantage in the middle and lower lanes, they focused on development and did not give up the line of troops to take the dragon.
Drag it to eight and a half minutes.
Ashe and Gem were all upgraded to level 6. Rumble, who had gained some experience in the top lane, reached level 7. After updating his equipment, he took the initiative to enter the river and attack the earth dragon.
Logically speaking.
The FW team was at a disadvantage in the early stages and could only wait for a turnaround in the mid to late stages.
There is nothing wrong with using earth dragon as a base.
We can't just do nothing when we are clearly capable of competing and have the upper hand in small-scale team battles, and then give key resources to EDG for nothing.
But.
Just took action against Tulong.
A fat figure appeared behind FW top laner MMD.
——The factory director went around behind!
“No!”
"You guys are such a motorcycle!"
MM D’s face almost twitched like a chrysanthemum: “Why don’t you take the Earth Dragon and come to the top lane to overtake me? What’s the meaning of this?”
A human head and an earth dragon.
In comparison, the latter is obviously more important.
So let alone MMD, no one, not even the entire FW team, expected EDG to make such a swap.
But think about it from another angle.
Which is better, fighting in the extremely risky Earth Dragon group or defeating the opponent in the most crucial single lane?
The Earth Dragon is just a bonus in the mid-to-late stages.
If we don't give FW a chance to drag the game to the late game, is this Earth Dragon still valuable? !
Looking at the crocodile shivering under the defense tower, the factory manager first used a Q skill [Rolling Barrel], and immediately used E [Meat Bomb Impact] to push forward!
Bang——
As the fat belly hit the crocodile, Xing Dao also entered the attack range.
[Kill All Around] The outer circle of the axe blade sweeps across, dealing high damage while inflicting a layer of bleeding effect.
Stick it on again and perform the AW combo!
E skill [Ruthless Iron Hands] pull back and hang the fourth level of bleeding!
The ultimate skill [Noxian Guillotine] cuts directly!
MMD couldn't stun Xing Dao immediately, so he could only control the nearest Zzai Zhang and try to use two stages of E to pull him away.
But just as he had closed the distance, he was hit by [Exploding Barrel] again and died from the subsequent bleeding effect!
