Originally, with the purple team's lineup, it would be a bit troublesome to lead the troops to the high ground under normal circumstances.
After all, Obama's range was relatively short, and Jayz was more of a long-range poke, so he also had to be closer to the defense tower.
In addition, the blue team defending the tower had a good ability to clear the troops and counter attack from below the tower. Basically, when a normal wave of troops came, the purple team could at most barely touch the HP of the defense tower a few times. As the troops came one after another, it would take them at least a minute or two to take them down.
Even if it dragged on for a long time, there would be openings in their position, and they could be counterattacked by the blue team at any time.
But after getting the dragon buff, these problems basically didn't exist.
The main reason was that with the dragon buff, the blue team couldn't easily clear out the small troops quickly.
This gave Lin Feng and the others on the purple side more time and opportunities to attack the tower.
The shadow puppet's support, Ri Na, walked up first and stepped on one or two metal clips that Policewoman put down with her W skill. Then, Shi Hang and Tang Bingyao each controlled Jayz and Obama to quickly attack the defense tower.
Someone's mid lane Syndra was also a long-range hero, but he didn't attack the tower.
The Head of Darkness was responsible for standing next to him.
Waiting for an opportunity.
As long as the opponent, such as Policewoman, dared to do a poke in order to trigger the clip's passive headshot, someone's Syndra would make sure to use QE at the first moment to stun and control the opponent directly under the tower.
For a fragile opponent like Policewoman, in front of the Head of Darkness at this level of development, an EQ was enough to take out nearly half of her HP, and then an ultimate skill — —
There was no room for negotiation.
However, a few of the blue team's backline heroes didn't dare to easily stand forward because of the existence of a certain mid lane Syndra. Similarly, on the purple team's side, Tang Bingyao's ADC Obama and Shi Hang's ADC Jayz, also had to be careful during the process of attacking the tower.
Once they found the opposite Excavator or Ryze pressing up, they would immediately retreat.
This was because the enemy's blue team's control chain was also very strong.
For example, once the Excavator got close to the casting range, Rexell would directly use a W to send you flying. Then, Ryze would follow up with an enhanced W "Rune Imprisonment" control, and Nami would follow up with a Q skill bubble —
A set of control combo could render you immobile from start to finish, leaving no room for maneuver.
As such, both the blue and purple armies were fighting very carefully in front of the Highland Tower.
But in the end …
With the Dragon Buff in hand, the attacking purple army managed to whittle down half of the HP bar of the blue army's high ground defense tower after one or two waves of troops.
This was especially true for the Artillery Soldier at the end of the second wave of minions. After receiving the Dragon's buff, his range and firepower had increased by a large margin. Now, he was being protected by a few heroes from the purple team, who were firing cannonballs at the low HP turrets on the high ground.
…
The defense tower's HP dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"If the next wave of troops comes, our tower will be breached."
Ceng Rui's voice sounded in the blue team's live chat channel, and there was a hint of anxiety in his tone.
Because …
The speed at which the enemy was pushing the tower was too fast.
Indeed, with Obama's passive Continuous Shooting and Jayz, who was also a top laner with outstanding tower control abilities, their ability to push the tower was further amplified with the Dragon Buff and the minions.
By the time their high ground defense tower in the middle lane was breached, the effect of the Dragon Buff from the purple team was not even half gone.
This meant that after the enemy destroyed their middle lane, they still had plenty of time to continue advancing in the middle lane.
If the two high ground routes were breached …
Then even if the blue team was a late game lineup, they probably would not be able to play a role in the late game team battle. Just a few super soldiers in the middle lane would be enough to put them in a difficult situation.
Although the logic was clear, the current situation was still unresolvable.
The only Artillery Soldier was protected by a few heroes from the purple team and could not be easily touched. They could only watch the Artillery Soldier perform valiantly.
"Should we force it?"
Nian Thirteen could not hold back anymore. He was not the kind of person who would defend the tower honestly.
"Instead of fighting after the tower falls, it's better to attack them now."
"I can Blink and attack first."
But as soon as this suggestion was put forward, Morning Star rejected it without hesitation.
"No."
"It's useless if we can't control the opponent's key position."
While the casting speed of Excavator's "Flash W" combo was so fast that most people could not react in time, it just so happened that the controllers of Sindera and Obama, the two core players of the purple team, happened to be the ones with full reflexes and hand speeds.
He was not overestimating his opponent.
Instead, Morning Star was certain that if Nian Thirteen controlled the Earth Burrowing Beast to Blink and followed up with a W, Sindera would definitely be able to react and dodge it in an instant. Tang Bingyao's ADC, Obama, would also have a 50 to 60 percent chance of doing so.
If Excavator's Blink and W failed …
Excavator would die.
The Leader of Darkness, who was in the middle lane, ignited a combo of EQ. A set of explosive damage was thrown at the Earth Burrowing Beast, which was enough to kill it instantly. Morning Star did not doubt that someone's reaction speed and hand speed would be enough to complete the combo in an instant.
And the most important point was — —
So far, the position of the purple team's Widow Jungler had not been confirmed.
Yes.
Now, on the left and right sides of the defense tower on the high ground, the blue team had placed two True Eyes to ensure their vision. However, below the tower, the opponent's purple team had also placed two True Eyes in a row, blocking their vision from the high ground.
During the process of Jayce and Obama's tower attack, the Widowmaker never showed up.
This was the point that made Morning Star the most wary.
"Thirteen, try to save your skills."
"If you see the Widow Jungler cutting over, just use Blink to control her."
"If you manage to control her … everyone, focus fire."
Morning Star gave the last order, and his tone was deliberately emphasized.
Nian Thirteen responded with a frown.
“OK。”
"But are we really just going to wait for the opponent to open it?"
"We're too passive."
Morning Star looked at the few purple team heroes not far in front of the tower.
"We still have to find the right opportunity."
Tian Tian's top lane, Gnar, had actually been trying to find an angle and a position to cut in during this period of time, but he had not been able to find a suitable entry point. At the same time, his middle lane, Ryze, was also constantly observing the opponent's formation, but he could not find the right opportunity.
If he could not find it, he had to wait.
He had to be patient and wait.
Because this was the moment that tested the patience of the players on both sides.
Whoever could not hold back first would be the first to reveal an opening.
Ten seconds later.
In the middle lane, a new wave of troops continued to advance on the purple team.
Under the focus fire of Obama and Jayce, the blue team's defense tower on the high ground collapsed.
The troops pressed forward again in front of the summoning crystal.
The five players on the blue team continued to retreat.
The purple team advanced again.
Another ten seconds passed quickly. With the announcement of the female system voice, the blue team's high ground in the middle lane was officially broken. Even then … the team battle still could not begin.
