Chapter 12: Wild Area Experience Mechanism!

The ongoing match is the 2016 LPL Spring Season Semi-finals.

The importance rating for this match is B+.

Can exert 180% of strength.

B+,

Again, B+!

Xu Dongmen's voice grew loud as he spoke: "Brothers, follow me!"

Group up at the start!

Invade the enemy's lower jungle, leaving several vision wards.

In this game, EDG's bottom lane picked Rat, likely to swap lanes.

"They didn't swap lanes!"

At 1:30, Deft's Rat was spotted by a vision ward.

"They're taking jungle, we'll take it too." Doom retreated to the Stone Armor Beetle position.

"That's for sure, we must take it." Uzi spoke; he's playing Lucian this game, focusing on lane pressure.

Since Mr. Dai took jungle at the start, if he didn't, wouldn't he be losing even his underwear?

A few seconds later, the jungle monsters respawned.

The jungle appeared with a miraculous scroll, the two camps at the bottom of the map simultaneously activated.

The miraculous part is that they were opened not by the respective junglers, but by the bottom lane.

QG's bottom lane killed Stone Armor Beetle, while EDG's bottom lane took Magic Marsh Frog.

Both camps' base experience is 190.

But since the jungle monsters are all level 2 at the start, they give level 1 heroes a 40% experience bonus.

That works out to 266, equivalent to one wave of minion experience.

As everyone knows, the experience to reach level 2 is 280, while one wave of minions gives 264.

Taking a camp before lane equals gaining an extra minion wave.

Chang Mao commented: "Actually this is already good; last season that was disgusting, top laners were level 2 on lane, taking a jungle camp at start directly leveled to 2, then full health TP to lane, hardly losing any minions."

Joker added: "The worst is still the S5 World Championship; SKT developed the top lane nurturing tactic, where the jungler lets the first jungle monster go to the top laner at start, then the top laner lanes with full status, TP not needed, not to mention experience, he doesn't miss a single last hit, directly confusing our top laner."

Joker's voice pained, the dead memories are attacking him.

In the S6 season, jungle experience was reformed.

Jungle monster base experience dropped from 200 to 190, and the extra experience bonus decreased from 50% to 40%.

This way, laners can no longer solo jungle monsters to reach level 2.

"To change this abnormal phenomenon, Riot truly went to great lengths." Chang Mao sighed.

"Yes, to not affect junglers, this season the Hunter's Broad Blade and Talisman each gained 15 experience bonus, so junglers can still reach level 2 by taking a camp at start, while others cannot; this is the normal jungle ecology, everyone has to come to the jungle at start to chip in, you say it's interesting?"

Zhou Ke'er, coming from a jungler background, really couldn't stand SKT's abnormal playstyle.

The jungler has to let the first jungle monster go, and to prevent the top laner from missing minions, they have to give the Smite to him.

This is utterly absurd!

Is there still royal law? Is there still law?

On the battlefield, both junglers successfully reached level 2.

Xu Dongmen played Magic Marsh Frog, while the Factory Director played Stone Armor Beetle.

Both started from the top of the map, echoing their own bottom lane far away!

Starting this way, when they cleared to the lower jungle, the camp that had been taken by the bottom lane at start just respawned, thus forming a positive jungle cycle.

The so-called golden route!

Throughout the spring season, at least one-third of LPL matches looked like this.

"Wow, this Leopard Woman is so smooth!" Joker's eyes lit up.

In the picture, Xu Dongmen was clearing the blue buff, spear in hand, laying traps.

Pfft~

Xu Dongmen transformed into the American Lion, leaping onto the blue buff trio, soaring into the air, constantly refreshing and resetting his W cooldown.

Taking one blue, through the Hunting passive he reset Pounce five times!

Plus killing two Azure Blue Sentinels, that's seven times total.

Most importantly, his operation was incredibly smooth; while wildly releasing skills he also didn't neglect basic attacks, his form never stopped from start to finish, giving a sense of lively beauty.

The only drawback is that it's a bit fragile.

After clearing two jungle camps, his health bar was down to two-thirds, and his potion was used up.

"The postseason uses patch 6.6; in this version Leopard Woman was nerfed, mainly weakening her jungle clear." Chang Mao recited verbatim.

Passive Seek

【Removed】 When Hunting jungle monsters, they will no longer be immobilized.

Yes, you didn't misread.

Before patch 6.6, jungle monsters hit by Leopard Woman's spear and trap would be immobilized in place, unable to move for a short time.

Without immobilization, Leopard Woman's jungle clear is even more fragile.

Just after that semi-final ended, Condi, after picking Leopard Woman, showed up having cleared three jungle camps at start, out of mana and health, forced to return to base to heal, an embarrassing situation.

Now Leopard Woman relies heavily on technique!

Although the passive can no longer immobilize jungle monsters, as compensation Pounce and trap damage have increased.

Originally a hero that heavily relies on skill, this change made skilled and unskilled players two extremes; even the professional scene is no exception.

«XDM cleared the three monster camps in the upper half and still had nearly half health; for the current Leopard Girl, that's already very difficult. » Joker appreciated it fully.

With Condi rubble ahead, Xu Dongmen's Leopard Girl looks pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at it.

Not only is maintaining condition an issue, but the jungle clearing speed is also faster by more than a bit.

Condi Leopard Girl clears three monster camps in 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Xu Dongmen clears the three wolves in under 2 minutes 20 seconds, reaches level 3, and moves to the lower half.

«The first Kindred mark respawned, appearing in the lower half. »

When the Leopard Girl starts clearing F4, the first Kindred mark appears in Summoner's Rift.

In Season 6, the river crab respawns every 2 minutes 30 seconds.

«Can the factory chief get this mark? »

«It seems a bit hard; Kindred's condition is better than the Leopard Girl's, but the others are still in the upper half. »

On the battlefield, both of them are fighting F4.

The difference is that the factory chief is still clearing the upper half's F4; that is his third monster camp.

Xu Dongmen is on the fourth.

Jungle clearing efficiency—this is the Leopard Girl's greatest advantage!

«Mo'er, come help me take a look. »

Before entering the river, Xu Dongmen summoned the support over.

After all, his condition is a bit off; having teammates come to escort is the safest.

In this game, they have lane priority on the bottom lane, so the support can act first.

Under Braum's protection, Xu Dongmen easily kills the river crab, then returns to the jungle to start the red buff.

After going back and forth, his condition has recovered to half health.

At the moment he consumes the red buff and reaches level 4, the stone shelled bug hasn't even respawned yet.

Five monster camps plus the river crab took only 90 seconds.

One word: fast!

«Perfect, I'll place a ward for you. »

Xu Dongmen runs to the bottom lane tri-bush and places a ward; by the time he returns, the stone shelled bug has just respawned, not wasting a second.

After killing the stone shelled bug and returning to base, he crafts a green jungle blade and swaps his yellow trinket for a red scanner.

At that moment, the factory chief has just finished taking the blue.

Xu Dongmen heads to the upper half, eats the magic swamp frog, then enters the river and secures the upper half's river crab.

«Kindred is coming down. »

From the vision Xu Dongmen left in the tri-bush, he detected Kindred's trail just before it disappeared.

The factory chief still loves coming down to the bottom lane.

«You guys play dirty; I'm going to counter-jungle. »

Xu Dongmen directly invades EDG's upper jungle, first taking the stone shelled bug, then countering F4.

The factory chief returns to base, looks at the jungle, and finds the entire upper half completely empty—nothing left!

What the hell?

Keli'er's hot dance falls into a state of having no monsters to eat.

Next, the second mark on F4 is again ruthlessly destroyed by Xu Dongmen.

The factory chief finally waits for the lower jungle to respawn, yet must endure this guy's frequent harassment!

Pfft—

Kindred was clearing the three wolves when a spear from across the wall hit, and immediately a panther leapt out.

With health low, the factory chief could only let go tearfully.

Xu Dongmen snatched the big wolf and walked away proudly.

When the Leopard Girl reaches level 6, Kindred is still level 4.

«Factory chief, today I'm going to raise pigs in your jungle. »

On the battlefield, Clearlove suddenly recalled the harsh words the opponent had dropped before the match.

MD, this kid is serious!
