Chapter 12 - Top order overlord, version is king

"This is too slow..."

Looking at the King's score of 1055 displayed on the settlement interface, Yuan Shen was still somewhat dissatisfied.

He can be said to have worked extremely hard during this period.

In five days, he and Prince Ning rushed all the way to the thousandth level of the King Rank with almost no obstacles.

But there is still a gap of 100 points between him and Dopa, who is ranked first in the country.

During this period, he and Ning Wang have encountered Dopa many times, but TheShy has never met him.

The two of them cooperated more and more tacitly, and Ning Wang even thought about transforming into a jungler at one point.

And Yuan Shen could also clearly feel that he was making gradual progress.

A qualifying victory can earn some points, which gives Yuan Shen enough motivation.

The thing people fear the most is not seeing hope and not knowing whether they have made any progress.

In addition to improving the operation to 83, the proficiency of the three heroes was also improved from B level to A level.

Fiora, Noxus, Riven.

Yuan Shen knew very well that if he wanted to enter the World Championship, he had to practice these heroes well.

In addition to these three, there are Olaf, weapons, and even Galen's dog head...

The heavy warrior version overturned the big tree system that LPL had been using for a year, and raised the importance of the top laner to an unprecedented level.

It can even be described in one sentence: as long as your top laner is strong enough, as long as the other laners can withstand the pressure, and add some buffs to the top laner during teamfights, then you can expect to win...

Of course, the premise is that the top laner is strong enough.

The first step he had to take was to find a team with decent strength to join.

At least we have to make it to the playoffs.

Because of the revised versions of Fiora and Gangplank, they only appeared on the field in the playoffs.

And for the tryout, he needs a stepping stone.

The title of No. 1 in the country is pretty good.

Although Yuan Shen did not think this was an honor.

Because the styles of qualifying and competition are so different.

Not to mention the national server, even being number one in the Korean server is more than one level lower than professional competitions.

"Are you coming again? Wait for me to rest for two hours. I will definitely take you to the first place today."

Prince Ning yawned. These past few days he finally understood the gap between himself and Yuan Shen.

It's not just the difference in talent, he also felt the speed at which Yuan Shen practiced heroes.

It was clear that in the previous game, she played Fiora like an elementary school student, but in the next game, she headbutted the opponent.

And most importantly, Yuan Shen was too diligent, even to the point where he felt a little crazy...

"Go, go today, and find a job after you finish the course."

Yuan Shen placed the water cup in his hand on Prince Ning’s desk and stretched.

He was also tired, but more refreshed.

He could see a bright future for himself.

Even if he doesn't have a job this year, as long as he keeps working hard in ranked games, one day he will be able to max out his attributes and surprise everyone.

"Are you still playing Irelia and Fiora? I see you've been practicing these two heroes recently."

Xiao Ming was a little curious.

The hero Fiora is actually not suitable for high-end games. This hero is only suitable for bullying weak players.

Because her heroic characteristics are more like an assassin rather than a warrior.

The concept of a heavy armored warrior actually does not exist now, because League of Legends does not have any equipment that is both tanky and has good output.

Of course, it has happened before.

That is the Halberd of Atama, commonly known as the Dung Fork.

However, this equipment was deleted in S4.

Fiora is rarely seen in high-end games, let alone professional games.

Even if you kill your opponent in the laning phase, it is easy for him to use his golden body to avoid the damage of his ultimate move during team fights.

Although Jie's ultimate move can be avoided by Golden Body, or even removed by Mercury, Jie can get out as soon as he gets in.

Why did you, Sword Princess, come out?
"No more playing, it's not suitable."

Yuan Shen shook his head. The more he fought during this period, the more he understood a truth.

The reverse version really won’t go far.

Just like no matter how proficient he is with Crocodile, even if he has reached SS-level proficiency, if he uses it to play in this version, his win rate is not as high as choosing a Treant Centaur.

It’s not that his crocodile is not powerful, nor that his treant and centaur are strong, but the power of the version.

This version is called Tank League, and there is a reason for that.

No matter how strong a player is, he cannot ignore the mainstream of the version and go against the general trend. At most, he can only carry out some development and innovation of his own within the scope of the version.

"You really need to pay attention to this issue. If you want to make a living in e-sports, you can't ignore the version."

PDD took a puff of his cigarette and said with a serious expression.

"WE was a meta team back then. They understood things more thoroughly than us. They were not reckless like us. The same was true for Royal Club back then. Many teams are usually in the middle of the pack. As long as the meta is right, they can even become the top three teams. They are meta teams."

"But EDG has won the LPL championship three times in a row."

Prince Ning was somewhat unconvinced.

In his opinion, as long as the people are strong and the team is strong, it doesn't matter what version it is.

Otherwise, why has EDG won the championship three times in a row since its establishment?

"It's different. The meta is always the most powerful. Going against the meta may sometimes have miraculous effects, but such teams and players won't go far."

Yuan Shen believed in PDD's words without a doubt.

He could also feel that PDD really wanted to teach him something.

Moreover, he has long coveted PDD's characteristics as the "top lane overlord".

I just don’t know if I can inherit the hero’s proficiency.

Among PDD's hero pool, Jayce and Rumble are the ones he covets the most.

Others such as Vladimir, Zac, and Jarvan are also very strong, but they do not appear in the top position very often.

"You all need to learn from Yuan Shen."

PDD looked at Yuan Shen with some regret.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t keep such a good seedling.

"You only see that Yuan Shen is fast at learning heroes and has good talents, but the most important thing is that he dares to break through his comfort zone. Yaer, if you give me this, I will kill my way through the Chinese server with Wild Rift Hermit. DopaTheShy, all of you, kneel down!"

PDD smiled and looked at Ning Wang and Xiao Ming again.

"You two have top-notch talent, but you must calm down. The most important thing for a professional player is to adapt to the version. If you can't practice, you will become a breakthrough for the team and be restricted in BP. You may even be used by the opponent and targeted.

Of course, some heroes are only strong for one or two versions. You might spend a lot of time and effort to train them, but they become useless again after a version change. Or maybe Riot makes a new version and all your efforts are in vain. "

PDD often tells everyone some interesting stories about their old IG, including the story of the talented young man Zizizi being ganked all night by his sister who was ten years older than him.

Come to think of it, PDD is only a few years older than these young people, so there isn't really that big of a generation gap between them.
