Chapter 643 I Am Waiting for My Teammates, What Are You Waiting For?
In terms of runes, Lin Cheng gave up his signature attack method for Shen and chose the one used by SN top laner Abin yesterday.
Main system Inspiration: Omni Stone, Magic Boots, Biscuit Delivery, Travel Speed, Secondary System Resolve: Shield Slam, Bone Plating.
In fact, there are only three mainstream cornerstone runes for Shen in the current version: attack, immortality and conqueror.
But no matter which method Shen uses, it will be difficult to face Sett.
Attack is more profitable against squishy, but it is basically useless in the middle and late stages, and if Shen wants to pull and attack, it is easy to be counterattacked by Sett.
If Shen kicks out the attack, the opponent's ambition value is high and it is likely that Shen will lose more blood with an EW.
Immortality can improve Shen's ability to exchange blood with the heavy warrior, but it is easy to be suppressed when Sett wants to trigger the immortality state frequently.
As for Conqueror, it is basically useless against Sett in the early line, because Shen can't stand and fight with Conqueror Sett anyway.
The three keystone runes have their own advantages and disadvantages. After comprehensive consideration, Lin Cheng pointed out the Omni-Stone.
The Omni-Stone rune was launched this season, replacing the previous Stealing Rune. Its effect is to continuously and randomly provide single-use opportunities for other keystone runes.
In other words, this is a multi-consumption rune.
For example, the rune of Electrocute itself has a long cooldown time, but after it is used, the Omni-Stone will quickly refresh the next rune, avoiding a long rune CD period.
Moreover, the buffs obtained by Grasp of the Undying and Dark Harvest will be permanently retained, and the number of layers of Dark Harvest will increase the effects of all keystone runes, which means that the runes of the Omni-Stone can theoretically grow infinitely.
The effect seems very strong.
However, this rune is still unpopular.
Because most heroes cannot adapt to all keystone runes, and random refresh is too unstable.
On the contrary, the skill mechanism of the Blue Steel Shadow is more comprehensive, with not only long-range consumption skills such as W, but also close-range skills such as Q, and E skills that can be used to escape combat and control first, which makes the Blue Steel Shadow perfectly adaptable to almost all keystone runes.
Anyway, it is not easy to fight Sett with mainstream runes, so Lin Cheng simply copied Abin's homework.
Yesterday, Abin used the Omnistone to completely suppress the crocodile of Wunder, the first top laner in Azeroth, in the laning phase, but at that time Abin brought Ignite + Teleport to maximize the Blue Steel Shadow's laning ability.
Lin Cheng did not bring Ignite, because he believed that the role of Flash for Blue Steel Shadow could not be replaced by any other skills. In team battles, Blue Steel Shadow must have Flash if he wants to cut the C position.
In fact, Lin Cheng has seen Blue Steel Shadow with Omnistone several times in the high-end games of Canyon of Heroes recently, and Niu Bao has also used it. Lin Cheng gave up after trying it twice, mainly because it was unnecessary because there was not so much pressure in the laning phase.
However, Lin Cheng seemed very serious when facing Duke this time. After all, he was called "Jungle Dad" by Zo in RANK yesterday, so he had to be strong in the laning today.
Entering the game, KT did not design a routine for Lillia to invade at level 1, and the two sides started peacefully.
At the beginning, the cornerstone rune provided by the Omnistone for Qing Gangying was Arcane Comet.
Lin Cheng did not intend to take the initiative to flirt, and wanted to last hit peacefully by relying on the line of soldiers.
But Duke was very fierce, and Sett directly crossed the line to be fierce.
Lin Cheng took a step back, and Sett turned around after crossing the melee soldiers, and seemed to give up.
At this time, Qing Gangying suddenly turned around.
Sett turned around again.
The two had the same attack distance. At the moment when Sett's left fist was blasted out, Qing Gangying also kicked out and hit the passive shield.
Lin Cheng A once and ran away, and Sett's right fist with eight times the punch speed had hit the adaptive defense shield.
Duke did not give up, and chased two steps against the soldiers.
Lin Cheng didn't expect his opponent to be so fierce. After pulling back for two steps, he turned back again and wanted to launch the next basic attack.
However, Sett just used his E skill, Cracking Skull.
The pre-swing of Qing Gangying's basic attack was interrupted, and Sett's E skill across the line of soldiers pulled Qing Gangying and the soldiers together, causing Qing Gangying to fall into dizziness...
The Duke's E was very accurate. Qing Gangying's shield disappeared and he was hurt by Cracking Skull.
Bang.
Sett punched down twice and turned around and left.
Lin Cheng couldn't catch up, so he adjusted his position and used W tactics to sweep.
The outer edge of the W skill accurately swept over Sett, lowering Sett's health while Qing Gangying also recovered.
Arcane Comet also hit Sett with Qing Gangying's W.
Zo seemed to be very fierce in this wave, but after all, he pushed the soldiers. In fact, neither side gained an advantage in the exchange of blood.
Tong Xi: "Sett played really fiercely. He fought against the enemy at the first level and exchanged blood with the passive Shen. It was a break-even."
Jide: "But the momentum was there! In the past, it was Brother Orange who fought against the enemy at the first level. The Duke did not give up just because the opponent was Brother Orange. It seems that he is very confident today."
Yu Tong: "Okay! I hope that the Duke will replicate the performance of RANK yesterday. If he can suppress Brother Orange in the top lane, it will be easier to fight Jingdong."
After 5 seconds after the Arcane Comet was cast, the Omnistone provided the next keystone rune, Grasp of the Undying.
However, during the period when Shen's W and passive were on CD, Sett took the initiative. Lin Cheng did not dare to go up to kill the minions next to Sett. He could only secretly kill the blue minions above when Sett was killing minions below.
I don’t know if the Duke took the wrong medicine today. After he finished killing the soldiers below, he stood next to the two remaining ranged soldiers on the red side and attacked Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng could only stand outside the tower and watch from afar.
Now without Bone Plating, Shen couldn’t compete with Sett at level 1. Sett was such an unreasonable hero in the early stage.
Before the second wave of soldiers arrived, Duke’s Sett even did sit-ups on the spot.
This time, the taunt was full. When Lin Cheng was in MSC, he once used his abdominal muscles to carry the tower against FPX. I didn’t expect Duke to do this to him.
The problem is that I already had a huge advantage at that time. Why are you pretending to me when you don’t have an advantage?
Just when W was cooled down, Shen found the right position and swept W Tactical Sweep from a distance.
Sett immediately stood up and moved back, but still took damage from the outer edge of Tactical Sweep.
Lin Cheng pressed forward and approached with the acceleration of the travel speed.
But the Duke was not afraid at all. Sett suddenly turned around and moved back, and used the E skill.
There was a ranged minion on the red side, and Shen was dragged over and collided with the minion.
Taking advantage of the opponent's dizziness, Sett threw a left punch and ran away, not even throwing a right punch to give Shen no chance to counterattack.
A blood exchange was completed, and Shen didn't even use his passive. The details were perfect!
The Duke, who was pulling away, suddenly showed Jinx's grimace expression.
Lin Cheng looked at the map and replied with a Poro sticking out his tongue expression.
I showed my expression to wait for my teammates, what are you waiting for?
