LOL: I'm in the LPL, that's my fight!

Chapter 4: I'll take it as a compliment, then!

"Good, your operation and reaction are above average."

In the game, Fu Shiyan, who had soloed two matches and once again sent Duan Chong's hero back to the fountain, commented.

"Let's exit now and enter the Rift bot mode. I'll teach you some jungling strategies from Diamond to Master rank."

"Okay, sure!"

The rich college student nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Just those two solo matches have completely convinced him.

It wasn't the kind of situation where a high-ranking player relied on skill and reaction to beat someone like me, a low-ranking Gold player. This Crush master was able to keep his skill level close to his own during solo matches, and then gradually improve to test his own limits.

"So this is what the strongest players are like...?"

Ignoring Duan Chongde's sighs, Fu Shiyan continued his explanation:

"The most important basic qualities for a jungler can be summarized in three steps: certainty, two perspectives, and three thoughts!"

"Determine your hero. Is it a hero that helps you climb the ranks in the current meta, or is it your signature hero? If it's a signature hero, there's no need to say more. If you're confident you can carry the whole game, then it's a hero that you can instantly pick no matter the situation or the team composition."

"As for the heroes for climbing the ranks in this patch... well, in the current patch I only recommend practicing these three: Gragas, Rek'Sai, and Elise. In the next patch, there will only be one Tier 0 champion!"

"You're not talking about the new hero, are you, Master?" Duan Chongwei asked, indicating that he was listening attentively.

"Yes, Kindred, the Eternal Hunters. If you master this champion, I guarantee you'll climb two major ranks in the new season."

Of course, besides Kindred, there was also a OP champion like Nekomamushi dominating the jungle in Season 6.

Unlike Kindred, Nidalee, especially jungle Nidalee, is extremely difficult to master. Without hundreds of games of experience, it's just a pipe dream to dominate in high-elo games.

At the same time, the performance of these two heroes in team battles is at two extremes in the hands of skilled players and ordinary players.

A skilled Nidalee player can poke before team fights, snipe from specific points during team fights, and dominate the battlefield.

A Nidalee player who doesn't know how to play won't be able to dominate the battlefield, let alone poke effectively; she'll barely land two shots. She'll just be a mini-healer.

On the other hand, Kindred, even if she doesn't stack up her stacks in the early game, can still guarantee a certain floor by relying on the stats given to her by the designers in Season 6, plus her ultimate ability that makes her invincible.

The teacher paid real money for the instruction, so Fu Shiyan certainly couldn't let the client feel like they had wasted their money.

"Okay, expert, I'll go back and buy a Kindred skin. From now on, he'll be my main champion."

He hasn't even practiced the hero yet, and he's already planning to buy the skin... No wonder he's a rich guy!

After marveling at the sheer extravagance of the players, Fu Shiyan continued to explain: "If you want to rank up, it's important not to randomly use heroes you're not familiar with or that aren't currently in the meta."

What is a version?

Under the same conditions, this hero has higher stats and better mechanics than other competitors in the game, which means a higher win rate.

"Once you fully understand the first step, most players can actually reach a higher rank than their current rank."

"Haha, it seems that's really the case."

Duan Chong chuckled; he was a typical example of someone who only had a three-minute attention span.

One second, he's practicing his skills like a hidden monk; the next second, his Gragas E-flash is so cool; and finally... watch my Demacian Prince's world crumble.

As for not picking heroes you're not familiar with in ranked matches?

He dared to choose even though he'd never played it before!

"Master, what are those two perspectives?"

"Secondly, observe the situation on the field. Aren't all the tutorial videos online telling you that the most important thing for junglers to remember is to help the winning team and not the losing team?"

That statement is not comprehensive enough.

"What constitutes an 'advantageous' path? And are we really not going to care about the disadvantageous path at all?"

"For example, if the top laner is a Malphite who is slightly ahead of his opponent in CS, do you think this safe lane can be ganked?"

"Conversely, if the bot lane is at a disadvantage and consists of Kog'Maw or Tristana, while the enemy has a super fed Jinx, do you think you can just ignore it completely?"

"That definitely won't work!" Duan Chong blurted out instinctively.

"That's right, so the second step is to observe while also considering the third step: think about your own lineup, which lane is your strongest point, and which lane you should help to win the game."

"For example, if the mid lane is Twisted Fate, if you help him a lot before level 6, then he can gank the side lanes with you after he gets his ultimate. If the top lane is Renekton against Darius, after you help Renekton establish an advantage, Renekton has a chance to carry the lane."

"Furthermore, a late-game hero being at a slight disadvantage in the early game is a completely different concept from an early-game hero not being able to gain an advantage. These are all things we need to think about and make decisions about."

"Also," Fu Shiyan smiled mysteriously, "I'll teach you another trick. Once you're in the game, if you find that a teammate in a certain lane is playing badly but likes to talk about jungling, don't hesitate to block him."

After giving the "new apprentice" a brief overview of the jungle burning technique,

For the next hour or so, Fu Shiyan began to instruct the other party on specific details, including jungle clearing.

"Jungle experience is very important. A level advantage equals overwhelming combat power. When playing games, don't rush to help any lane just because they're shouting loudly. If they're still shouting and not depressed, it means the most difficult time hasn't come yet."

"Also, vision control is definitely more important than mechanics. Learn to carry more wards. Teammates? Commanding your teammates is also a must for junglers, young man. Say some nice things at the start of the game, help them gank a couple more times. There's no need to argue about which is more important, 75 gold for vision or 300 gold for a kill."

"The most important thing for a jungler isn't ganking, it's controlling the tempo of the game!"

"What kind of rhythm is this? If you want to farm jungle camps, the enemy jungler can't gank your teammates. If you want to gank, the enemy has no vision and they're not counter-ganking. If you want to control resources, your teammates can come to help, and the enemy is powerless to contest them. You can even decide which turret to take. That's rhythm."

"Hey... there's no rush, you can't learn it in a short time."

"Here's a quick and easy guide to ganking. For example, at the start of the game, observe which lane is easiest to gank and which lane has the best teammates. Then, gank that lane decisively. Also, if there are teammates with crowd control, or if you have crowd control and your teammates in that lane have high enough damage, just buy the villa."

Before ganking in the future, ask yourself three questions: What resources will I get after the kill?

"What will the enemy take if I die?"

"Now that we've covered this area, where's the next move?"

Fu Shiyan said he was thirsty and had just pursed his lips when Duan Chong immediately and considerately handed him his unopened bottle of purified water.

"And remember this: jungling isn't just about playing in the jungle, it's about playing the entire map!"

"Do you understand?"

Seeing that the person in front of him had fallen into a daze again, Fu Shiyan had no choice but to ask again.

Duan Chong opened his mouth, his eyes still in a dazed state, as if he was overwhelmed by information.

"I...I understand!" A few seconds later, he finally came to his senses, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement, "Wow...Master, you explained it so well!"

"I feel like you're way better at analysis than those content creators who make League of Legends tutorial videos, or even LPL commentators!"

He paused, his eyes shining brightly, "Master, to be honest, if I had your skills and game understanding, I would have gone pro and made a name for myself long ago!"

Fu Shiyan: ...

Considering it's two hundred dollars, I'll take it as a compliment from you.
