Chapter 243: Thousand-Flower Sword Saint! It turns out he is the real

"We were saying before that if we could see Neeko in this MSI, it should be in Master Ye's hands!"

Guan Zeyuan was still analyzing: "However, to be honest, the early-game stats of the new version of Neeko are really a bit too low, it feels like it's on the same level as Azir..."

"Fortunately, Galio should still be quite easy to play."

"But actually, it's a bit hard to understand the designer's thinking, just added a functional change, but directly cut the early-game damage of all four QWER skills, the problem is this hero doesn't look like a late-game magic core either."

Although thanks to the "fun" after the rework, the appearance rate in rank is quite high, other teams have unanimously determined that this hero is not good.

Of course, it may also be because the MSI version launch time was too rushed.

And the reason why this conclusion was reached is because compared to the old version of Neeko, the new version of Neeko seems to have changed from an "early-game burst" hero to a "mid-to-late-game team fight" hero.

That is, moving a part of the base stats of early-game skills to the late-game AP bonus.

The problem is, even if there is damage in the late game, Neeko's most important ultimate hit has a very high difficulty—even if it is added {when disguised, casting ultimate, the first 0.5 seconds of guidance will not show action} is the same!

Plus, if the lineup really needs a late-game hero, then why not play Azir or Orianna, which are much more stable?

In short, it's how you look at it, it's awkward in the mid-lane position.

The entire T1 team, clearly, is also worried about this hero who is not in the plan.

Li Xianghe knows that since this opponent would take it out, it means he thinks this hero has the ability to appear... then it generally means there is a feasible possibility.

Then it is even more likely that there are strong points they haven't discovered.

"However, coming to this game, V5 didn't initiate in the level-one team fight, didn't they swap the jungle?" Jide looked at the quite different level-one layout of both sides with doubt.

"Reasonably speaking, in this game, one early-game lineup and one late-game lineup, V5's level-one doesn't have any reason not to look for opportunities."

The entire T1 team was clearly a bit nervous at the start, throwing two wards at the jungle entrance as soon as they went out, waiting in full battle array.

But what's strange is that V5 from the God's eye view has no intention of attacking, and even the top and bot lanes have drilled into the lane bushes in front of the minion wave, already preparing for laning.

And the reason V5 is like this is also for a reason.

Invading and swapping the jungle at level one can indeed drive away Nocturne and force a jungle swap.

But in that case, V5's jungle route is also almost completely bright, both sides are equal in information, just occupying the half-jungle offensive right.

But Nocturne, in normal early-game situations, is meant to bury his head in farming, and exposing information with Xin Zhao is not a loss at all; at worst, they will just farm together.

Xin Zhao is different; he must want to find a way to do things in the early game.

However, Oner, seeing that the opponent didn't come to swap the jungle, suddenly had an idea: "Youqi, sell a bit at level one? I can come to the top at level two!"

"Feels like it's possible." Zeus, who went online, was just stolen a shot by the Jayce squatting in the lane bush, thinking there was indeed some opportunity.

No one would think that Nocturne would gank in the early game, let alone at level two.

But T1 being able to pick this lineup naturally also has special training.

Although Karma top looks like a "mixed hero"—but laning is absolutely a good hand!

The meaning of this hero, besides the most obvious four-protect-one big-core system, the incidental role is to take lane priority in the early game to protect the jungle, or even counter-invade.

And Karma is definitely also an "easy to defend, hard to attack" hero, Q-W-E slow + speed + stun, coordination with gank is very saying, and she is not easy to be caught.

Minion wave born.

The commentary desk began to pay attention to the mid lane.

"Master Ye is playing the classic long-range against Galio this game, directly out with Doran's Blade!"

"It's just a pity, there is no hero similar to Caitlyn this game, the other two long-range heroes on V5's side have very short range, Neeko has become the longest-handed one instead~"

Li Xianghe saw Neeko's starting equipment, but wasn't too surprised.

He actually guessed that the opponent might buy AD equipment.

But considering that the opponent might invade at level one to get information and see Galio's runes, it might be counterproductive, so he didn't carry armor fragments.

Anyway, he is Galio, and the early-game pressure is not very great.

Minion wave clash.

Galio threw out the gale and naturally retreated, worried that Neeko clicked the Q skill, and didn't want to give the opponent a chance to "bloom extra."

But Neeko didn't want to hard-press Galio, just clicked W, and then quickly basic-attacked to push the wave.

Don't say, because the Q skill 【Blooming Burst】 is very difficult to explode "multi-stage damage" in the early game, Neeko's Doran's Blade and level-one W click, the pushing speed is actually faster.

1 minute and 50 seconds.

Nocturne, who opened the blue buff alone, deliberately didn't use Smite to farm, wanting to wait for the top lane minion wave to come over a bit more, and wait for both top laners to reach level two to have more opportunities.

"Nocturne finished the blue buff and went straight up! Oner seems to want to change rhythm!?"

"Brother Shengqiang Ge's Jayce played very well this game, grabbing a lot of health advantage—but top lane level two generally has no reason to go to ward, otherwise there will inevitably be a vision vacuum in the river at level three or four!"

"This wave feels like it might be hit..."

"Hey? What sound?"

Just as the LPL commentary desk was nervously watching the Nocturne who walked out of the blue buff camp and headed to the top lane.

In the live stream screen, a sound like whistling suddenly came from far to near, carefully listening, it seemed to be a somewhat clumsy whistling "xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu" technique.

"Who is calling??" Rita asked with a question mark on her face.

"Uh... it's Master Ye!" Jide, who had sharp eyes, glimpsed a figure walking in from the right jungle: "Neeko!?"

The director followed closely and shifted the perspective slightly to the bottom right.

Seeing that "Neeko" who flew in from the front of the mid-lane first tower, with his tail spinning like a helicopter propeller.

Li Xianghe, who was being pushed, naturally also saw Neeko using W toward his own jungle, and the "xiu xiu xiu" strange sound ringing in his ears.

He didn't have any suspicion at first, just thinking the opponent was exploring the surrounding vision after pushing the wave.

But immediately after, he suddenly remembered something: "Neeko... clone might see your jungle route?"

Oner was a bit confused: "What do you mean, Brother Xianghe, what do you mean by seeing my route?"

And at this time, Neeko, who had turned into a flying little policewoman, had flown all the way to the blue buff camp door, revealing the empty jungle camp, and the Gromp still alive next to it.

"How did he just hit a blue... Brother Shengqiang Ge, be careful!"

Jayce, who also saw the detection information, hurriedly retreated.

And Nocturne, who had already walked to the bottom of the river, suddenly saw the forward-pressing Jayce start to retreat.

He still wanted to come out and fight for some status, but this wave was originally Jayce wanting to grab level two and press forward, both top laners were still one minion away from level two.

Karma didn't have W and couldn't help but hold him hard.

"Wow!! Oner is so hurt!" The Roaring Emperor looked at it from the God's eye view and felt like he was going to faint: "Clearly this wave should have had a great opportunity!"

"How can Neeko be like this? This..."

"Then isn't this jungle start going to lose again!"

Nocturne's top lane rhythm change was fruitless.

And without Xin Zhao's jungle information, there were no minion waves in the top and mid lanes, he definitely didn't dare to go to the opponent's red area—otherwise, once Xin Zhao was red-opened, or if he saw him appear and immediately walked to the upper half, it would be equivalent to looking for death!

Oner thought about the game for a while, and then decided to return to the blue area in a gray-faced manner.

But an even more mind-bending scene is...

Nocturne had just walked back to the blue area and started hitting Gromp, and when he turned his head, he saw a "Neeko" spinning his tail again, muttering "xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu" and flying toward him!

Almost scared him into a shiver!

Fortunately, Neeko disappeared the next moment.

But after witnessing it with his own eyes, a terrifying fact seemed to be being revealed.

In fact.

In this rework, there is something that the vast majority of people will ignore—the rework of ctrl1-ctrl4 animation voice.

The time of each hero's {taunt} {dance} etc. actions is different.

And the ctrl1 added by Neeko, which is this "xiu xiu xiu" helicopter action, can last up to a full 11.5 seconds.

Longer than the vast majority of heroes!

This is nothing to other heroes... but those who are familiar with Neeko's "extension mechanism" can understand the meaning!

W 【Shapesplitter】 level one is 16 seconds CD, but it starts timing as soon as it is cast.

That is to say, through extreme delay techniques, this skill can achieve a vacuum period of less than 4 seconds.

W is also a {no cost} skill!

This led to the jungle and river, almost "all the time" having a seamless "Neeko," wandering everywhere!

Oner, whose jungle information is always semi-transparent, was tortured to the point of being miserable!

It's like seeing Nocturne re-enter his upper half, Xin Zhao immediately went to counter the opponent's lower half—and Oner still wanted to go to the opponent's red area, but ended up bumping into a flying Neeko in the river again and again!

The veins on Oner's forehead were faintly collapsing.

No matter how his jungle was before, at least his mentality hadn't been too affected, and it didn't count as anything.

But this...

Especially the "xiu xiu xiu" that came from time to time in his ears, inexplicably made him have some nameless fire!

Of course, not just him.

All viewers in live streams around the world were also listening to the "xiu xiu xiu" all the way.

【Pure mental attack, I'm dizzy from listening, is this the re-emergence of the Jian Sect?】

【To be honest, my head is full of xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu xiu now, it's a bit too funny 23333333】

【Damn, this is like Sun Ce's first-person view looking at the Jie Yuji bewitchment, the whole process "Do you believe it~ Do you believe it~", how do I awaken the entanglement resentment on my body!】【Why? A balloon zombie in the jungle!】

【This thing is definitely another born-level easter egg after Dog Head's high leg lift, Darius's axe shake, Xerath's head scratch, Alistar's bell ringing, Sett's sit-ups!】

【I'm super! It turns out he is the real "Shumaker"! I was watching Zita's live stream just now, and I always thought it was Er Zi, that SB, who was xiu xiu xiu-ing there, I scolded him a few times and ran here.】

Li Xianghe knew that continuing like this was very wrong.

If Nocturne's jungle continues to be invaded and counter-jungled like this, don't even talk about the small dragon team fight, it's estimated that he might not even reach level six before the Rift Herald team fight!

If Nocturne doesn't reach level six, the 5v5 team fight is purely a super soldier.

Fortunately, T1 and Li Xianghe, although they don't value Neeko like everyone else, and haven't practiced it—but he has studied Ye Bo a lot.

Especially his game recordings.

This is also why he could vaguely guess the first wave, because he has seen many of Ye Bo's recordings.

Neeko's "directional detection" technique requires {continuously visible enemy units} as a target, which is their own top and bot towers, and wanting the clone to enter the jungle must turn from the small road in front of the mid tower.

So, Galio can grab lane priority, making it difficult for the opponent to release the clone along the way.

Or be more proactive in trading health during the laning phase, forcing Neeko to use W for laning, which can also make the opponent have no time to take care of the jungle.

The latter is still very simple to achieve.

Actually, as long as Galio uses E to rush forward, Neeko is very easy to be tricked into using W.

It's just that it's clear that in this way, the laning situation in the mid lane starts to turn sharply downward—Galio E starts, if he can't hold Neeko, he will definitely be counter-attacked very miserably!

Originally Li Xianghe was still thinking about grinding levels slowly, but now to protect the jungle, he had to be forced to use health to trade for lane.

"Xianghe was beaten out of TP before 5 minutes... Bang looked worried, his tone clearly a bit disapproving: "This is simply using the mid lane to hard-protect the jungle!"

"Speaking of which, did Xingxiong brother not teach Oner his unique skills, this is not right." Wolf clearly thought the same as his old partner.

The Roaring Emperor didn't pick up this family matter of T1, focusing on the situation of the game: "But even with this hard protection, Nocturne still has no combat power, and the level is still lagging, the small dragon is definitely not going to be taken."

"However, Neeko didn't back... then maybe it's because she's short on money!"

"Is there a possibility that Oner noticed an opportunity to catch a wave!"

The God's eye view masters the information more thoroughly.

Neeko didn't choose to back in place after helping the team finish the small dragon, but returned to the mid lane again, clearly just short of money to buy equipment.

Standing from Ye Bo's perspective.

Although he traded health with Galio before and lost some status, he had all his skills and had reached level six, and wasn't very afraid of being ganked.

But from T1's perspective... this is a rare opportunity!

"Because T1 clearly gave up the small dragon, the bot lanes of both sides didn't come at all, if two people hit the dragon, Xin Zhao must be going home!"

"Oner also seems to have thought of this! He is already rushing to the mid lane!"

"As long as the mid lane can be liberated, the jungle won't be so difficult, after all, T1's mid-jungle double-six rhythm capability is something the opponent's mid-jungle combination simply cannot compare to!"

Oner was actually prepared to go counter-jungle to replenish some economy.

But Li Xianghe saw that the opponent didn't back, and immediately realized that this was an opportunity.

Taking a hundred steps back, even if this wave didn't succeed in killing, just forcing the opponent's Flash and TP—without Flash and TP, Neeko wouldn't dare to be so arrogant in laning!

Just as the commentary desk said.

T1 also believes that as long as their own mid-jungle can safely reach level six, whether it is proactively finding opportunities or counter-attacking to support, they are stronger than the opponent's mid-jungle combination!

"I'm here, Brother Xianghe!"

Oner seemed to be gritting his teeth, as if he couldn't wait to fight Neeko.

Li Xianghe began to perform acting, repeating the old trick, straight-forwardly using E to try to trick out W!

But Ye Bo didn't make a move this wave.

He naturally knew that he was relatively fragile because he didn't replenish equipment this wave, so he held his skills very tightly, and even the distance grasp was more cautious than before.

However, Nocturne had already walked out from behind!

Galio E didn't hit, but he had already rushed to the close face—then decisively Flashed to get close, spreading his wings and charging W!

Here you can see Li Xianghe's understanding and mastery of Galio.

It looks like Galio's W charge is also within range.

But in that case, Neeko turning W+E might be able to run away, at worst, as long as she Flashes, she can immediately open up the distance without injury, at most exchanging Flashes.

And Galio directly Flashing to the face to start, is to ensure that even if Neeko Flashes immediately or turns into a W clone, she cannot escape the charging range of the wing-spreading taunt!

"You hold the skill!"

"Know!"

Oner's thinking is still very solid, no need to remind.

Nocturne is only level four this wave, while Neeko has already reached level six, even if she didn't back to replenish equipment, it is inevitably a bit dangerous.

But Nocturne also has his own reliance.

As long as Oner holds his W 【Shroud of Darkness】 and doesn't use it randomly, using the magic shield to block Neeko's ultimate, which has an extremely obvious front swing, this wave, no matter what the opponent does, it is impossible to counter-kill!

But Neeko, seeing the charging Galio on her face, didn't Flash at the first reaction.

She first turned and threw E 【Tangle-Barbs】 toward Nocturne—Nocturne directly decisively Flashed to shuttle and dodge, and got close!

Oner's mind was clear, knowing that his W must be held for the ultimate!

And Neeko, seeing the charging Galio, seemed to have entered a state of being at her wit's end, still didn't Flash as if wanting to save skills, just W-invisibility forward...

But Galio's wings were already wide open, and he was sucking hard!

The "invisible" main body was instantly sucked out!

Nocturne poured all his QE, locked and chased with Paranoia, just waiting for the fear of E to trigger, this wave would have a great chance of killing!

But...

After a short stay, the residual health Neeko suddenly "disappeared" in place.

"Where is the person!?"

Didn't appear under the tower, didn't appear in vision.

No one knows where Neeko went.

According to the "old version of Neeko" mechanism, the clone will disappear instantly when hard-controlled, so the two of them first determined that what they sucked was the real body...

Could it be that she Flashed into the river bush while invisible?

The two were confused.

Nocturne's health was falling extremely fast because he was carrying the minion wave's focus fire...

"Help me push the wave together, you also level up faster."

Li Xianghe, although he also lost experience in the lane, and hadn't reached level six, knew better the importance of the jungler's level.

But immediately after.

The two of them, it seems, both noticed something a bit strange.

"Wait, not right... seems not right!"

"Hey, why is my health falling so fast???"

"Xiba, these minions!!"

The blooming 【Pop Blossom】 guidance halo bloomed...

It was centered on a {melee minion}!

Fortunately, Oner always held W and didn't use it randomly, immediately pressing the magic shield!

{But the front swing time of Neeko's ultimate guidance is that skills can be used}

Ye Bo threw Q 【Blooming Burst】 to bloom in place at the precise timing before R landed—the two were competing on "timing grasp."

And clearly Ye Bo was slightly better.

Shroud of Darkness was broken first, the Pop Blossom garden instantly knocked up the two, and then fiercely sat down!

At the same time, the second and third stages of Blooming Burst exploded repeatedly, and through the {Stun} combination effect of "RQ," all of it hit Nocturne's body!

Before "revealing the real body," Nocturne already had less than half health.

Eating this whole set, he died on the spot!

"Holy crap!!!" Jide raised his hands excitedly.

"This is using W invisibility to cover the transformation, releasing a fake to confuse, and then turning into a minion... dodging Galio's fatal taunt!"

"My goodness! This is Master Ye's understanding! I knew his pick must have a reason!"

Galio's W skill text is very clear: {Taunt nearby "enemy heroes"}.

And Neeko, although she didn't go home to replenish equipment, her main attribute is {Attack Damage}, but by changing into a {Melee Minion}, she instantly captured the melee minion's attack speed of up to 1.25%.

The new version of Neeko, although deleted the "extra movement speed" that Ye Bo had used before, can only inherit the "base movement speed" of the imitated unit—but also added a setting of inheriting "attack speed."

{Attack speed} is more than twice as high as the main body, but it has its own attack damage attribute!

At the same time, it can also attach the three-ring damage of W's passive!

It's simply like turning into 【Thousand-Flower Sword Saint】!

The few times Nocturne mistakenly thought he was being "focused" by the minion pile, it was precisely because of this!

"Nocturne's death this wave is a loss! Originally he could take advantage of Xin Zhao going home to take back a little jungle, now he followed and went home together!"

"And Neeko's status is actually quite good, after all, the opponent didn't hit her at all! Absolutely no risk of being killed, don't even need to Flash!"

"Hmm??"

"What is Master Ye still doing!?"
