"Huh? Why does Karma go out with the Sword Stealing Blade? Isn't he the top laner?"
At the commentary table, I saw that Karma's starting outfit turned out to be a spell-stealing blade. I remember my eyes widened with disbelief on my face.
Although IG is addicted to stealing money, and the Thieving Omen and Spell-stealing Blade are the standard equipment for the bottom lane magic support, Karma is a top laner!
You must know that in this version, after the auxiliary equipment is released, there is a penalty for excessive CS, and the economic gain cannot be maximized. It seems that there is no point in releasing this equipment.
"It's very strange. I feel like IG has a new routine, but I can't figure out what it is."
Colonel Guan on the side also frowned slightly.
This strange top lane hero and strange outfit have really whetted everyone's appetite.
However, at this time, in the IG game seat.
Chen Yu has already begun to lay out the tactical tone for this game.
"You don't need to capture King Ning. If you have nothing to do, just grab lanes in the top lane. If you have time in the middle lane, you can also grab some. If you have a level advantage, go to the counter jungle. If you are at level six, consider capturing someone."
In this round, King Ning’s Sword Master is the main core.
After RW robbed the mid lane gem before, Chen Yu was also forced to rob the Juggernaut.
However, without gems in the middle to give the Juggernaut economy, it is not easy to develop beyond time.
But this is not difficult for Chen Yu.
Since there is no tool man in the middle, use the tool man in the top lane instead.
This version of Karma is a very strange existence.
The equipment and talent styles are similar to Victor's, but he doesn't need to rely on soldier lines to develop like Victor.
As long as you go out to steal money and add the auxiliary equipment of Spell Stealing Blade, if you main W, you don't need to do a last hit at all, but you can cross the line to suppress some melee heroes.
Especially a hero like the captain who has no sudden advances is simply a toy of Karma.
The audience all knows that the captain has long-range Q and barrels to clear lanes and do damage, and W to eat oranges to recover and control online. However, what they don't know is that Karma also has the ability to recover online, even better than the captain's.
Be scary.
It can be said to be an existence that cannot be killed.
So, when the battle began, the audience saw a horrifying scene.
The annoying Karma learned the W skill at level one and blocked the captain in front of the defense tower without replenishing a single soldier, not even allowing him to gain experience.
[Holy shit, don’t take the upgrade? In order to prevent you from taking it, I won’t take it either? 】
[This is too much! Doesn’t he do last-hitting? 】
[Ah Guang feels so uncomfortable! You can still get experience by messing with the sun and blocking the door. The captain can’t even get experience, let alone the last hit?]
The audience was shocked by Kalma, the star of the hunger strike.
In fact, Aguang also tried to forcefully break through Kalma's defense line.
However, Jasha, who has been playing AD top laner for a long time, has mastered the control of attack distance and A position. He always maintained a safe distance from the captain and did not suffer any damage.
At the same time, as soon as the chain was tied, the captain was locked in place and unable to move.
This was followed by several more basic attacks.
Not only was Spellthief's Blade fully equipped with its passive, but he also stole a money bag and paid out sixty gold coins.
That adds up to about a hundred.
In the early stage, this is enough to withstand the economy provided by a wave of troops without Ferrari.
On the other hand, the captain's health was consumed a lot, but he still couldn't get rid of a single soldier.
Although the captain's two Qs knocked out about one-third of Karma's health, after Karma's second W cooled down, a set of RW restored all the health to full.
"Damn it, why is there such a disgusting routine! I can't even eat the line of soldiers!"
In RW's team chat, Aguang's expression was very ugly.
He originally thought that IG might have exhausted its talents and could not come up with anything better to suppress his captain.
But he never expected that the Karma chosen by IG would turn out to be a devil!
In the past, when I was laning against the AD top laner, I could at least get a few kills between the AD top laner's last hits.
And this Karma doesn't do last-hitting at all, it only suppresses.
In just two minutes, the first wave of troops had already exhausted each other.
Karma has been promoted to two levels, but his captain still has no experience at all.
In all these years of playing professionally, Aguang has never experienced such a dark moment.
"He is just a Karma, how much can he suppress you?"
Brother Coin in the middle is a little puzzled.
He has played mid laner Karma. Although he has strong lane pushing ability and high early damage, he lacks the ability to deal continuous damage and his single kill ability is also extremely weak.
In his opinion, it was almost impossible for Karma to pose any life threat to the captain. How could Aguang say that he couldn't get it right?
But when he switched the perspective to the top road and then opened the scoreboard, it suddenly became clear.
He could only comfort him: "Well, he didn't do any last-hitting, didn't he? Just ask Leopard Girl to come over and help you. That'll be fine."
After learning the specific situation, Coin Brother also understood that this was not A Guang's problem, but IG's problem.
Karma would rather not do any last-ditch damage but suppress it really hard, but the captain is the core of the RW lineup in the late stage, so we have to find a way to ensure his development no matter what.
The best way Brother Coin can think of is to let Leopard Girl go on the road and help the captain push the line of troops under IG's tower. When it falls, the captain controls the push line and develops in front of the tower, which will make it much more comfortable.
After saying that, he immediately ordered his husband's leopard girl to go on the road to help the captain relieve the pressure, and at least help the captain to upgrade to two levels.
After captains at level two learn how to use barrels, they can at least capture some troops from a distance.
If there is no one to help, if Karma does not move his troops at all, the troops of both sides will almost always remain stationary in the center of the top lane.
However, although Brother Coin's considerations were quite good, in this game, IG's jungler was on the top lane.
Although Leopard Girl was more efficient in clearing the jungle, she came to the top lane first, forcing Karma back, and at the same time accumulated a large number of minions to advance into the defense tower.
Prince Ning's sword master arrived shortly afterwards.
Then in front of the captain and Leopard Girl, he completely ate up the two waves of troops under the defense tower.
Not only did the annoying Karma not want anyone, she also helped the Juggernaut stop the captain and Leopard Girl from harassing them in front of the military line.
What's more, he also prepared the sword for the sword master.
This allows the Sword Master to kill all the waves of troops under the tower without missing a beat.
"What the hell, what does this mean? Do you want Raosa to be a dog for Prince Ning?"
Ah Guang looked incredulous.
Although when IG played against WE, Broiler once acted as a dog for King Ning, but that was the unsolvable combination of Gem Sword Master, and there is nothing wrong with being a dog.
But the gems were snatched away by them in this game, and IG actually developed the routine of Karma being a dog.
And now it seems that it is no worse than the set of Gem Sword Master.
Because Karma is not as passive as gems, he can use the talent of Thief's Omen and Spellthief's Blade to actively steal money to maintain his development.
At the same time, in the commentary box, Colonel Yi Yi and Guan also stared at each other with wide eyes.
"No wonder Karma is just pretending to be paid. It turns out he is really an assistant!"
After a long while, I remembered saying this sentence in a daze.
"Auxiliary is a support, but his development is not bad at all! Yes, the passive of Spell Thief Blade can be maxed out, and the Thieving Omen can always steal something. What's even more terrifying is that the captain used a bucket in front of him
, just to give him money!"
The principal in charge was also a little helpless.
As the game progressed, he also understood IG's top laner Karma's routine.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, ordinary people really can't play this thing.
How can any other team want to offend a top laner like this? Even if he doesn't take troops, he can ensure his own development with his money-stealing talent and salary equipment?
Moreover, the rhythm of tapping the barrels is so superb that the captain has no barrels at all and can only rely on the Q skill to occasionally hit the sword.
But even so, as long as the captain steps forward to hit the target, Karma will consume and steal the money.
This is a vicious cycle for the captain.
Not only that, if Leopard Girl stays on the top lane to help the captain push the lane, Leopard Girl's own jungle farming rhythm will be affected, and at the same time, a large part of the captain's development will be taken away.
This is unacceptable to RW.
After all, captains are different from Kalmar. One is the core in the late stage and has extremely high economic needs, while the other is a tool man and a little auxiliary equipment can play a big role.
RW seems to have fallen into a dead end. Whether it gives up the captain or not, it is a great harm to the team.
...
"Why don't we forget about the top lane, Leopard Girl should just do it by herself! If we continue to waste time on the top lane with them, both the top lane and the jungle will collapse! Wait for me to lead them to the bottom lane at level six!"
In the RW team chat, Brother Coin was silent for a while and said seriously.
He also saw IG's tactics, but with their current lineup, there was no solution at all.
If the stalemate continues, Leopard Girl and the captain will both collapse. He can only choose to give up and let the captain fend for himself.
While ensuring Leopard Girl's own development, try to open up the situation in the lower half of IG and find the rhythm.
This is the displacement method he can think of.
"All right."
When Xiaofu heard this, he also looked at Aguang with pity. Every top laner was tortured when facing IG, and there was nothing he could do to help.
But just two minutes after his leopard girl left.
When the game time came to six minutes, the Juggernaut who was taking advantage of the wild zone and the route reached level six.
Karma could barely reach level five, but the captain who was idle under the defense tower could barely reach level four.
Such a huge level difference is fatal to the captain, a late-stage hero who has no control skills!
I saw that the moment the Juggernaut reached level six, he immediately activated his ultimate move, Plateau Bloodline, and then Karma RE accelerated it.
The Juggernaut was like a wild horse running wild, heading straight for the captain under the defense tower.
A Guang's captain, however, had no idea what to do. None of the Sword Master's skills were non-directional. He just swung his sword to kill himself without thinking, and his positioning made no sense.
And even if the flash is handed over, with the current moving speed of the sword master, there is no way to escape.
What's even more outrageous is that whenever he wants to release a barrel to deal damage, Karma will immediately break his own barrel.
It's as if your captain's E skill is not to place barrels, but to steadily provide the opponent with an economy of ten gold coins.
Under such circumstances, the captain was naturally unable to survive the joint attack by Karma and the Juggernaut, and was hacked to death by the Juggernaut under the defense tower.
The Juggernaut then walked out of the defense tower, used the Q skill Alpha Strike to avoid the defense tower's attack, and left safely.
