As a top laner, before the nerf, Captain could be considered a lane dominator in the top lane.
There was even a saying that Captain was invincible at level 1. Although it was an exaggeration, it was enough to show how strong this hero was at the time. He might even be comparable to Swordgirl back in the day.
Even after the nerf, the frequency of Captain appearing in the Professional League had greatly decreased. However, in the high-level ranking matches, there were still experts who specialized in Captain who could rely on this Hero to dominate the Master and King groups.
In the early stages of the game, there was basically no one who could match up to this hero.
In the top lane, most of the top laners were melee ADs, and the Captain's Level 1 Q skill "Gunfire Negotiation" was a very strong and violent long-range poke skill.
A Q attack on the opponent's hero would instantly take out an entire bar of HP.
More importantly, Captain's Q skill had a very short cooldown. In the early stages of the game, if the opponent was Q attacked by Captain two or three times, their HP would immediately drop to a critical level. They might not even dare to go up and attack. Then, they would continue to be suppressed.
As for the top laner who could really fight against Captain, or even suppress him to a certain extent, it should be Hanson.
Apart from Hanson —
In fact, Heart of the Fury Kennan was indeed a good choice.
"Although Captain's Q skill has a high consumption rate, he is still a melee AD hero."
"Kennan is different. He's one of the rare long-range top laners. Someone played Kennan as an AD hero before, right? Anyway, in the early stages of the game, Kennan can easily defeat Captain. "
An internet cafe customer who was good at the top lane analyzed the situation logically.
On the other hand, the other guests and audience members nodded their heads like obedient students.
The customer, who was a good teacher, felt proud of himself. He continued to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the two top laners. In the end, he waved his hand and added.
"But actually, there's no need to say all this —"
"No matter what hero it is, it still depends on the individual strength of the player."
"With our Eight Gods' skill …"
"Even if it's just Garen, he'll be able to defeat that kid's captain!"
These words were straightforward and delightful.
The surrounding internet cafe customers nodded excitedly in agreement. Then, they turned their gazes to the top lane on the spectator screen. They were looking forward to seeing if their Yagami Yagami would be able to bring them another spectacular show of carnage.
…
In fact, on the top lane of Summoner's Canyon, the rhythm of the top laner heroes on both sides seemed extremely calm and gentle in the first minute they entered the lane phase.
There was almost no sign of a fight.
They were completely focused on finishing off Soldier A.
Lin Feng controlled his Captain to kill a Blue Team soldier with a Q skill. He also used the Q skill to earn two gold coins as a reward. He then looked at his opponent, Kenan, who was not far from him.
Under Shi Ming's control, the blue team's top laner, Kainan, was particularly cautious. He maintained a safe distance of over 700 yards from his captain. At the same time, he constantly used his Q skills and his A skills to deal damage.
So careful?
Lin Feng frowned.
Speaking of which, this didn't seem like the playstyle he had seen from the audience. If Kainan didn't use his long-range attacks to suppress and whittle down his opponent's HP in the early stages of the game, it would be a bit too cowardly.
So, after killing another Blue Team soldier, Lin Feng quickly opened up the public chat window, typed a question mark on the keyboard, and sent it over.
The internet cafe customers in the audience also saw the question mark sent by the captain on the spectator screen.
Then, the audience went into an uproar.
What's the meaning of this?
The captain even sent a question mark? Is he deliberately provoking me?
Damn, isn't he too arrogant?
In contrast, Shi Ming, who was sitting in front of his computer screen, immediately understood what Lin Feng meant the moment he saw the question mark emoticon.
This is …
M-God is a little dissatisfied with my performance in the opening lane.
Shi Ming's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, but he wasn't the slightest bit angry. Instead, he smiled helplessly.
As expected.
M-God's temperament was still the same as before.
Speaking of which, back in the S1 season, he and M-God had met several times in random games after getting to know each other. Back then, he had to play with his hands tied and feet tied. In the end, M-God would give him a harsh scolding, and he couldn't even lift his head.
The current situation was a bit similar to the one back then.
However, Shi Ming also felt very wronged and helpless. After so many years, when he met M-God again, he would immediately have to play a game against him. The psychological trauma was still very heavy. How could he really just let go and play without any distractions?
After all, he was all too aware of M-God's strength back then. If the current M-God was still in the same state as he was back then, even the slightest bit of carelessness would definitely lead to a complete collapse. Naturally, he had to be careful.
But —
Shi Ming took a deep breath.
Now that M-God had already "spoken", if he continued to fight in such a timid manner, it would definitely make M-God unhappy.
Forget it.
Losing to M-God was definitely not shameful. I'll just bite the bullet and fight.
Even if I lose, I'll still be proud!
…
Finally, the customers in the internet cafe were delighted to see that their Yagami Yagami's top solo, Kennan, seemed to have regained his initiative and aggressiveness in the game. He took the initiative to move forward a few times and used his normal attacks and Q skills to find opportunities to continuously poke at the captain.
Captain's positioning seemed to be good as well. He dodged one of Kennan's Q skills, but was still hit twice by Kennan's normal attacks. Just as Captain was about to counter with a Q skill, "Gunfire Negotiation," Kennan seemed to have predicted Captain's Q skill's cooldown and quickly retreated to put some distance between them.
This meant that Kynan had earned two normal attacks for nothing.
Cheers immediately rang out from the audience.
"Wow!"
"Go, Yagami Yagami!"
"Dammit, are you going to let Captain be arrogant again?"
"Kill him!"
At the same time, Plank, who was controlling himself, took a step back and finished off another minion with a normal attack and a Q skill. Lin Feng didn't seem to mind that his HP had just been depleted. Instead, he revealed a satisfied expression when he saw Canaan's beautiful 'poke' maneuver.
That's right.
That's how Kennan should be.
Why was he so scared just now?
Lin Feng wasn't worried about the pace of the match either. Level 1 Captain and Level 1 Kennan were already at a disadvantage.
But after Level 2 …
Lin Feng's eyes flashed.
At Level 2, his Captain would have the ability to solo an opponent.
However, even though all the customers and spectators in the internet cafe had their attention on the top lane, when the match reached the three-minute mark, an intense battle began in the upper half of the blue team's wilderness.
The internet cafe audience below the stage suddenly burst into an uproar, mixed with incomparable shock and astonishment.
In the next second —
In the purple team's live chat, Kamimiya Saka's voice rang out.
"Widow didn't dodge."
Why didn't she dodge?
She was trying to escape, so she was killed.
At the same time, in the blue team's Seven-leaves team's live chat, the jungler of Team Two spoke in a hoarse voice.
"I was too careless. It's the blind guy's trick."
"I didn't blink this time."
"Blue got reversed too."
