Chapter 389: Aatrox King? Who is the real Aatrox King!

~10 min read 1,873 words

The jungle battle came to an end."

However, the mid laners from both sides moved early before. Although Viego affected the minion wave situation and earned a little, he couldn't push directly under the tower. In the end, both sides inevitably lost some."

Zeka, who was resurrected, TP'd to the mid lane aggressively without hesitation, blocking the line in front of the tower with his body."

If Viego returns to the middle directly at this time, his state is poor and he will be suppressed for a period of time -> if he returns to the city first and then TP's out, he will lose some minion waves additionally, letting Sylas make up for the loss of supporting in front."

But the top lane was pushed by Aatrox's rush before wandering, and at this time it was a minion wave pushing towards V5."

V5 quickly made a change."

"V5 here is letting Viego go to the top?" The Roaring Emperor keenly captured the movement and looked at the minion wave and immediately realized something: "Wow, even heroes like Renekton are giving up economy to Viego!?"

"Just like I said, this is Flandre's playing style," Nuguri shrugged, and conducted a deeper analysis."

"But this wave of V5's lane swap is very clever. Letting Renekton, who is in a better state, go to the middle can directly not return to the city and TP out to lane against Sylas, while Viego goes up to lane against Aatrox who also didn't return to the city, which is equivalent to saving an extra TP. V5's lane-swap handling is clearly much more proficient."

The Roaring Emperor didn't dare to let the other party sing down his own side again, and hurriedly interrupted: "Uh, Nuguri, Aatrox vs Viego, should be easy to play, right?"

Hearing this question."

Nuguri suddenly fell silent and didn't answer."

On the player seat, Kingen, who saw Viego coming up, was also a bit surprised, but immediately canceled returning to the city."

The director's perspective locked on the top lane."

Renekton vs Sylas is clearly a big advantage, the mid lane laning has no suspense, but this matchup of Aatrox vs Viego is too unpopular, no one knows what the laning situation is."

And Kingen was fully focused, his expression never as serious as this moment—after all, last year, the wave where he almost had the opportunity to change his life and save the team was lost to Ye Bo by just one move."

Until today, he was still brooding over that scene!"

Both sides pulled the distance in the gap of the minion wave."

Aatrox took the initiative to make trouble, seized the gap where Viego wanted to farm, and took the initiative to slash the extreme distance Q 【The Darkin Blade】 to see the opponent's movement habits."

Aatrox's three-stage Q is from far to near. Although the first stage has the lowest coverage and damage, the casting distance is the longest, a full 625 yards, longer than the attack range of most melee heroes."

However, Viego is an exception."

Viego's Q skill also has a full 600 yards, although it is still 25 yards shorter than Aatrox, it wins in the casting pre-swing."

I saw Aatrox just raising his sword—Viego also immediately countered with 【Blade of the Ruined King】 to poke back."

But this was completely within Kingen's expectations."

Once Aatrox's first stage Q can hit, the short knock-up effect makes the opponent unable to move, and the second stage Q's 400-yard distance combined with the E skill's 250-yard impact distance, an EQ can just hit the distance of the second stage Q."

That is: if the first stage Q can hit "naked" without using E, then the second stage Q can almost 100% hit the "sword edge"!"

In fact, old Aatrox would never easily hand over the 12-second CD E skill to Q1. After all, Q1 damage is the lowest, and even if it hits the first stage, it is easy to be walked out of the second stage, and the cost-performance ratio is extremely low."

But."

Just at the moment Viego's King Blade poked out, his feet were synchronously lifted back, moving half a step."

And that dark sword edge with a short casting delay smashed down, looking clearly close at hand."

But it was dodged by turning around by a hair's breadth!"

Not only that, Viego dodged the first stage Q and immediately moved forward, looking like he wanted to continue pressing—Kingen's eyes condensed and pretended to smash the second stage Q, and at the moment the second stage Q was about to be released, the E skill 《Delayed Forward Charge》 got close to pull the distance!"

But the Viego countered by casting W forward!

Interestingly, the displacement distance of Aatrox E and Viego W is not a step different."

The range that Aatrox forward QE could just pull, was just dodged by Viego with a forward heart-piercing sword edge."

The two were like 《Synchronous Close》 rushing to each other!"

As Viego's W closed the distance for a brief stun, black mist bloomed beneath his feet; Wang Jian's dual blades stabbed fiercely, the attack speed bonus and Conqueror stacks within the vast scorched earth piling up crazily!

Aatrox had already emptied two sword edges, standing and fighting was clearly impossible to win."

However, Kingen's handling was meticulous, first sticking to the face and A-ing out the passive Deathbringer Stance, then W Infernal Chains hit close, and then holding Q3 to death."

Wanting to walk out of the 【Infernal Chains】 range, you can only "walk sideways" for the first time, walking out of the shortest diameter range in the middle to have a possibility of not being pulled back—and Aatrox can lock the fixed sideways movement, smash down Q3 to hit steadily, and then use the short knock-up to delay the opponent's pace, by the way W pull back!"

It's this direction!"

Aatrox saw the direction Viego was going, and directly smashed the center sword edge decisively."

But immediately Kingen's pupils shrank fiercely."

Just because that Viego, actually moved his steps half a step in advance weirdly again."

"Twisted" past the center point of Q3 again!"

And this half-step delay was also successfully offset under the acceleration effect attached to 【Vast Scorched Earth】, successfully walking out of the range at the last moment of Infernal Chains taking effect and not being successfully pulled back!"

Viego even continued to pursue under the acceleration of the vast scorched earth!"

Just the first exchange."

Kingen's expression under the camera was already a bit wrong."

Also wrong was Nuguri on the stage."

Nuguri's expression was clearly incomparably shocked: "Ye's Aatrox... how does he seem to understand Aatrox very well? He shouldn't have chosen mid lane Aatrox in his career, right!?"

"How can this be seen?" Pyosik next to him was puzzled: "Just because he dodged the sword edge, it doesn't feel very difficult, it looks more like Kingen didn't put it well himself."

Nuguri really couldn't hold back, gave him a look like looking at a fool, and complained."

"Don't you see, this is clearly Ye guessing how Kingen would release it for three consecutive Qs!"

"Every step he takes is moving half a step in advance! Otherwise, how could he walk out!"

Nuguri also didn't know if this person was really blinded by hatred, or really couldn't see it."

If you want to say Kingen's other heroes, such as the Gnar's trick in the previous game was his own mistake, it can still be understood."

But this is the bottom line of his most signature hero!"

As a top laner, Nuguri knows Kingen's understanding of Aatrox very well."

In the quarterfinals of last year's S12, EDG discovered the secret hidden by Dan-ny, discovered that Nuguri actually "couldn't play" Aatrox, and occupied a huge advantage in the BP game."

Aatrox is a hero who looks simple, and even has almost no "combos," only an EQ combo."

But the real Aatrox should be described as 《Great Way to Simplicity》."

The skill group damage is all on the three-stage Q—actually hitting one more Q and hitting one less Q, hitting one more sword edge and hitting one less sword edge, the damage will be worlds apart!"

Because the damage of {edge sword edge} is double that of {other ranges}."

So simply put: Aatrox Q looks like 3 hits, actually it should be 6 hits -> hitting the sword edge counts as 2 hits, hitting other ranges counts as 1 hit, all empty is equivalent to emptying 6 skills!"

Not to mention that the three-stage Q are all AOE damage!"

And Aatrox has an incomparably obvious {casting delay} + {range reminder} for every stage of Q. The grasp of the pre-swing rhythm, the grasp of the skill distance, the pre-judgment of the opponent's movement mentality—every knife is full of details and experience!"

Aatrox is not only easy to learn and difficult to master, but also the hero with the most 《upper and lower limit gap》 played among top laners!"

Kingen Aatrox's power lies in his deep understanding of the sword edge delay, and the grasp of the rhythm of Q skill's delayed release, which seems to be born with talent."

These are actually very difficult to "practice" out."

At least Nuguri tried, and failed."

So he saw this exchange in the top lane, especially seeing Viego "guessing through" the opponent's thoughts every time, almost 100% sure that Ye Bo has a deep understanding of Aatrox"

—That is definitely not something that can be done by "reaction," it must be that he has a deep understanding of this hero!"

The facts, of course, are also like this."

Although Ye Bo didn't choose mid lane Aatrox on the competitive stage, he is really familiar with Mr. Aatrox~"

And Kingen, although he already felt something was wrong, didn't see it as thoroughly as the bystanders."

Or perhaps he wouldn't be willing to admit in his heart that the other party's understanding of Aatrox could be compared to his own, or even above his own"

Time is approaching 5 minutes."

Although the early jungle confrontation was a big failure, Lee Sin took the opportunity to run to his own bottom red zone, grabbing the opponent's offensive gap to eat leftovers, and after reaching level 3, he had the confidence to circle in the jungle."

But V5 directly swapped mid-top, Renekton sat in the middle, and the deterrent power of the small dragon team fight was too strong!"

HLE could only let the jungler Lee Sin try to snatch the dragon."

Just, the momentum of V5's four people gathering, looking like they don't just want to fight a small dragon."

At the same time, the director's perspective cut fiercely."

"Why are they still fighting in the top lane? Both top laners haven't returned to the city yet. Hey, when did Sylas go up!"

"No! Then if Sylas goes up, if the bottom lane is killed while snatching the dragon, HLE's duo lane will be bullied by four people diving the tower!"

Just when the director's perspective was still focusing on the team fight that might break out in the dragon pit, the top lane was suddenly full of crises." ===== CHAPTER 390 =====
