Lin Yan's understanding of Vampire was different from the other midlaners.
After the rework, Vampire's mainstream equipment in the S6 Summer Tournament was originally half-tank equipment like Spirit and Zhonya, which had a certain ability to restrict the enemy's backline in team battles.
However, in Version 6.13, Vampire's passive [Blood Contract] had been weakened.
The original 1 point of MP increase for every 25 points of HP had been reduced to 1 point of MP increase for every 40 points of HP.
On the other hand, the MP increase for Q and R [Blood Plague] had been improved to a certain extent.
Now, most of the LPL midlaners still had Spirit, then Rocket Belt, and Zhonya for the third, making up 45% CD.
This kind of equipment was very strange. In the early stages, Vampire's ability to clear the enemy's line was not strong. Just because the opponent's midlaner was an AP damage dealer, the first equipment he had was to strengthen Spirit Armor and give up on Rocket Belt's powerful line clearing ability?
Lin Yan took a different approach: the main stacking MP was strong. He was played as a mage, not as a traditional tank.
After all, Version 6.13 only weakened the bonus of HP conversion to MP, but the bonus of MP conversion to HP was not changed at all. As usual, 1 MP increased 1.4 additional HP.
In other words, as long as your MP was high enough, you could still hold on to 3,000 HP in the later stages.
In order to break through the backline, Lin Yan did not bring most of the LPL midlaners, Vampire, who had chosen Sprint and [Power of Time]. Instead, he chose Ignite and [Storm Rider's Rush].
Xiao Hu's Kassadin chose to use Corruption Potion to fight heroes like Vampire, who had strong endurance.
Lin Yan started to suppress him as soon as he went online.
Before level 6, Vampire had the advantage against Kassadin. During this period, Kassadin had no way to fight back against long-handed heroes.
Lin Yan naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity to suppress him. His position was quite radical, and he had already crossed the middle of the river.
Xiao Hu's Q hit Lin Yan with a [Void Magic Ball]. Lin Yan countered with a basic attack and chased after Kassadin until the Magic Shield on him disappeared. Only then did he unleash a basic attack + Q [Blood Conversion].
He had earned quite a lot.
Lin Yan turned around to deal with the troops.
Due to his previous consumption of troops, the troops would gradually advance towards Kassadin Tower.
Lin Yan didn't feel uncomfortable.
This was because a hero like Kassadin was not qualified to block the minions before level 6. He only needed to push the minions into the tower.
He rose to Level 2 and prepared to push the line.
Xiao Hu saw this and moved forward, wanting to interrupt the channeling process of Lin Yan's E [Blood Tide] with his Q.
Lin Yan released the E button the moment before the magic ball hit him. The AOE damage cleared the minions and hit Kassadin's Magic Shield.
Lin Yan continued to move forward with a basic attack and a Q for HP.
Kassadin's HP had dropped by 25 points and could only drink a Corruption Potion.
Xiao Hu rose to Level 2. He was a little disgusted by Lin Yan's consumption, but seeing that the minions were about to enter the tower, he still didn't dare learn E [Energy Pulse] and obediently chose W [Void Blade] to deal the final blow.
Lin Yan also believed that with Xiao Hu's personality, he wouldn't learn E and fight him. After pushing the minions into the tower, his consumption became even more unscrupulous.
He stuck at the edge of the tower's range and used his AQ combo. Seeing Xiao Hu's cowardly attitude, he immediately began to accumulate E.
Xiao Hu finally couldn't take it anymore. If he ate this full E, his HP would drop again.
He drank a Corruption Potion and threw a Q [Void Ball], wanting to interrupt Lin Yan.
In the end, Little Tiger had miscalculated. If Lin Ran had been in Kassadin's shoes, the Magic Ball of Nothingness would have been aimed at the foot soldiers instead of the vampire.
Lin Yan once again released E right before the magic ball hit him, the damage just barely breaking the Magic Shield.
However, Lin Yan took damage from Kassadin. Several minions under the tower shifted their aggro and attacked Kassadin.
Kassadin had the passive [Void Stone], so he was immune to a certain amount of magic damage. However, he really couldn't do anything about physical damage.
The minions' damage output was not weaker than Vampire's normal attack in the early game. Xiao Hu was still at a disadvantage in this round of game.
After barely clearing the minions under the tower, Xiao Hu drank two bottles of Corruption Potion. His HP was still not healthy.
Both sides' turrets arrived as planned, and the minions were reset in the middle.
After eating three minions and leveling up to level 3, Lin Yan turned around and went to the river. During this period of time, both sides' junglers would level up to level 3 to prepare for the first wave of attacks.
Lin Yan set up an ambush in the river, mainly to protect the duo at the bottom lane. Then, he asked Jin Gong to retreat through the team voice chat.
Uzi's offense was extremely ferocious after he took control of Kalista's lane. He kept jumping to avoid JKL and Xiao Ming's skills.
Xiao Tian's Princes leveled up to level 3 and was ready to grab the bottom lane, but he and MLXG had the same idea. The two junglers met in the triangular bushes at the bottom lane. Lin Yan glanced at them through the minimap and didn't go down.
He didn't bring Sprint, and Vampire's legs were too short. He really couldn't make it.
Although Xiao Hu brought a TP, Kassadin was invisible before level 6. He was the most hated mid laner in the jungler's team. His ability to coordinate with his teammates was close to zero, and he couldn't help the junglers at this time.
A 3v3 started at the bottom lane. Because the triangular bushes at the bottom lane were close to the blue area, YM was the first to arrive.
The three of them attacked first, and then Xiao Tian's Princes EQ forced MLXG to use Blink.
However, RNG's bottom lane also rushed over. Boulogne's W was close to the Excavator, and his Q hit Princes with [Winter's Bite].
Seeing that Ouze was about to stab Xiao Tian's butt, JKL hurriedly healed Princes, but Ouze's QE successfully slowed him down.
Xiao Tian had no choice but to use Blink and escape back into the tower.
After a round of fighting, both junglers exchanged Blink, and the bottom lane lost a healer.
This healer was the last straw that broke the bottom lane's back.
Xiao Tian finished clearing the jungle and returned to the city to get a green jungler before attacking the bottom lane again.
However, he didn't expect MLXG to be counter-camping, and there was another 3v3 at the bottom lane. This time, Boulogne's role as the king of small-scale team fights finally showed.
Xiao Tian, who didn't use Blink, was killed by Ouze, but he wasn't satisfied. He controlled Callista to keep jumping forward, and together with Boulogne's Ignite, they forced JKL to use Blink.
Xiao Tian's initiative put YM's bottom lane at a disadvantage.
At this time, Lin Yan was still suppressing them in the middle lane.
4 minutes and 30 seconds later, Xiao Hu used up all his Corruption Potions and was forced to return to the city.
The stadium's air-conditioning was turned on, but Xiao Hu's forehead was still covered in sweat.
The pressure that Lin Yan gave him was far greater than he had imagined. Even though Lin Yan's healing skills were slightly worse than rookie's and Pawn's …
But he was still better than him.
Since the summer of 2015, his laning skills had gradually declined, and he had shifted his focus to the mid game. He would follow MLXG's rhythm and go around catching people. If he didn't have absolute confidence, he wouldn't attack.
The comment about Taser could now be applied to Xiao Hu – he was too steady.
