Anxin wasn't wrong.
Indeed, although the blue team's lineup was almost unstoppable in the late game, the purple team still had the upper hand in the early and mid game.
Barren Snow Nightsong's ADC, Policewoman, was too badly targeted in the early game. Although she managed to get the last hit with her own strength, Obama, Tang Bingyao's ADC, was still a bit ahead of her development. If she wanted to wait for Policewoman to show her strength, she would need at least a two-piece set of equipment. Based on Policewoman's current development speed, she would need at least 20 minutes into the game.
Tian Tian's top lane, Gnar, was also not tanky enough for the time being. If they fought in a group fight at this time, he wouldn't be able to take much damage while standing in the front row. Someone's mid lane, Sindera, could probably kill him with a set of skills.
The fattest Morning Star's mid, Ryze, also hadn't reached his true potential. Even if his damage was quite impressive, before stacking up the Blazing Angel, he was still a fragile piece of equipment. It was also very dangerous for him to be hit by the Widow.
That being said —
In the purple team's current lineup, although most of the economy fell on Anxin's jungler, Evelyn, Widow alone … was enough to help the whole team set the pace.
Originally, a jungler like Evelyn was strong in the early and mid game.
Now that she had such a heaven-defying development, it was even more difficult to deal with.
Just by looking at the bottom lane, Nian Thirteen had already predicted that An Xin's jungler, Widow, would move in the opposite direction in advance and even let Morning Star's midlaner, Ryze, open up the bottom lane to intercept her. It almost gave Widow a double kill with a 1/2 trade.
This was enough to show the terrifying power of Widow at this stage.
So.
In conclusion.
If the blue team wanted to win, they had to drag the pace to the late game or even the late game.
On the purple team's side, they had to use Widow as a core attack point in the early and mid game to quickly increase their advantage.
The offensive and defensive positions of both sides were quite clearly distinguished.
After 14 minutes, the blue team's outer defense tower at the bottom lane was destroyed by the purple team's ADC, Obama, and his support, Sungirl. Tang Bingyao and Shadow Puppet then quickly switched to the middle lane.
Continue to push as a group!
Ding —
The signal marker was placed in front of the defensive tower in the middle lane. Morning Star's voice quickly sounded in the team's live chat channel.
"I'll guard it."
They had to defend this wave.
In the current situation, the blue team's top and bottom defensive towers had already been destroyed. If they lost the outer tower in the middle as well, it would mean that they would lose more than a third of their map vision and lane pushing rights.
Although it was said that they wanted to drag out the opponent's tempo and avoid a direct confrontation when the opponent was in a strong position, when the opponent was really unforgiving … even if they were the weaker party, they still had to stand up and stop the opponent.
"Yes, we have to."
While agreeing with Morning Star's statement, Nian Thirteen also controlled his jungler to rush to the turret in the middle lane to provide support.
"Now that we've lost the middle tower, the next small dragon won't be easy to defend."
Indeed.
By the same logic, in the middle of the game, where the purple army was the strongest, if it was just some normal jungle resources, then the blue army would give it up. After all, they did not want to have a head-on team battle with their opponents.
Unfortunately, the first small dragon that the blue army got was of the wind attribute, but the second dragon that followed was of the earth attribute.
Regardless of whether it was the fire dragon or the earth dragon, they could not give it up.
Because if the opponent got the next earth dragon's buff, then the purple army's ability to push the tower and fight the dragon would be significantly improved. With Widow Evelyn's current development, it was even possible for her to kill the dragon in 20 minutes.
All in all, they had to defend.
Nian Thirteen could not help but feel a headache coming on. Normally, if he were to play as an offensive jungler, he would be the one leading the rhythm and exerting pressure on the opponent. But now, the situation was completely reversed.
Soon, Snowy Nightsong's adc, Policewoman, and Ceng Rui's support, Nami, rushed to the middle lane.
Both top laners had also rushed to the middle lane to meet their teammates.
They pulled away.
A wave of minions was pushed to the blue team's defensive tower.
On the purple team's side, although the adc, Obama, had short hands, heroes like Jayz and Sindera had enough long-range poke abilities.
I'm not in a hurry to push the tower.
I'll just press the blue team's players under the tower and use skills to poke their HP from a distance.
As long as the skills hit a few times, both Widow and Sunmaiden would have the ability and means to force a push under the tower.
In contrast, the blue team defending in front of their own tower was quite passive. Because in their lineup, almost no one had the means to force a push.
Even Gnar could not enter directly from the front. When the enemy saw that his aggro bar was about to turn red, he could not do anything about it.
"I can only drag it out."
Nian Thirteen frowned.
But if they dragged it out, they would at most be in a stalemate with the opponent in front of the middle lane tower for a few waves of minions. In the end, the defense tower would have to be surrendered.
It seemed that there was no other way.
However, at this time, Morning Star suddenly shook his head.
"No."
Nian Thirteen was stunned. "Ah? What do you mean? "
Morning Star looked at the purple team's formation not far ahead. There was a deep light flickering in his eyes.
"We have to fight this wave."
"We'll take the initiative."
…
The stalemate in the middle lane didn't seem to have any accidents.
The purple team's players were pressing wave after wave of minions in front of the blue team's defense tower. Jayz or Obama took the opportunity to sneak up and attack the defense tower a few times. Then, they used skills to poke away at the defense tower.
Although the blue team's heroes at the bottom of the tower had paid attention to their positions, they still inevitably took a few hits from Jayz's EQ or Sindera's Energy Magic Balls.
The heroes' HP and the defense tower's HP were being whittled down bit by bit.
It seemed that in two more waves of minions, the defense tower would be pushed down. Even the blue team's heroes would have to abandon the tower and retreat.
Seeing that his team was firmly suppressing the opponent, Shi Hang became quite excited.
"Ah, not bad!"
"That's a good rhythm. After destroying their first tower, we can get another wave of minions to wear down their second tower's HP."
The shadow puppet at the side was relatively more cautious.
"Let's go after pushing it down."
"It'll be a win if we can destroy their outer tower."
At this time, Lin Feng didn't say anything.
He quickly swept his gaze over the bottom of the blue square tower. Suddenly, someone's pupils shrank slightly.
"Wait."
The next moment, Lin Feng and Anxin typed out a clear and urgent warning signal almost at the same time.
"Retreat!"
But it was too late.
Because almost at this moment.
Not far behind the purple team's heroes in the middle lane.
An illusory blue circular teleportation array suddenly appeared and rose up!
Ryze's ultimate teleportation portal.
Blue team …
Take the initiative to open it!
