Although Dota faced an awkward situation in the previous world line, and many of the advantages of the game itself were not fully explored, many parts of Dota can be called the reason for its success in a world where Dota has the potential to become a national esports project.

This includes the proper localization of the game's content.

Taking the name of the equipment as an example, under the almost genius translation art of the localization staff of the national server, a large number of equipment named after very vernacular English phrases in the original game text were suddenly activated. For example, the short and elegant Chinese translation of a piece of physical output equipment translated as "Purple Resentment" in the national costume contrasts sharply with the original English text "Orchid Malevolence", which literally translates to "Purple Orchid's Malice".

In addition to the translation of the name of the equipment, the Dota work team, which has been focusing on localization for more than ten years, is also quite good at translating the hero's voice, the most of which is the elegant and agile core hero Ash Spirit, who was once a respected teacher in the background story, and the original version of the voice text on the English server is not outstanding, but in the translation of the national uniform, all his voices have been translated into classical four-word short sentences with great care.

Such a high-level localization effort will of course include the naming of some of the ladder ranks. In fact, this matter has only been in recent years, not that localizers are slacking off, but that W has only recently adopted a more intuitive rank to replace MMR - that is, ladder points to make a footnote to the player's ladder level.

The general ranks in Dota from low to high are: Vanguard, Guardian, Chinese Army, Commander, Legendary, Eternal Legend, Transcendent Saint, and Champion - although if you think about it carefully, such ranks are not as rare as Bronze, Silver and Gold, and even not very reasonable in terms of textual meaning, but this is actually the result of the translators' painstaking work with fixed foreign language texts.

However, even now, the action of replacing the score of the rank is still not fully completed, and many people still attach their own ladder MMR to the back when they report their rank.

For the current Lu Xinlei, there is no way to play the ladder qualifying match for the time being, and the rank and MMR are a question mark for the time being, and such an intuitive performance cannot attract anyone's attention, so for her, the most important goal now is to go higher on the road of this ladder.

Until then, everything was empty words.

The calendar flipped to the last day of the first week of September, and the girl who was struck by the endless stream of passers-by and high-scoring player information on that page became extremely utilitarian in the game, and as long as she could win the game faster, she used almost all the tricks, most of which required her to be in the middle of the lane that she was not very familiar with.

Although the former professional player played in the support position for a while, he played in the core of the dominant lane for the main stage of his career from fame to retirement, and there were not many cases where he actually stood in the middle. If the match she faces now is a more high-end high-scoring passer-by ladder or simply a professional match, she would still not hesitate to take the advantage of being on the sideline, but now in this bottom-end match against passers-by who don't even have a rank, she is the most responsible choice.

The mid lane hero has twice as much experience as the side lane hero, and the complex high and low terrain of the middle lane also makes the middle lane full of intrigue and wrestling, and the huge advantage of the lane that can be played on this lane will undoubtedly increase the weight of victory more than the advantage of the side lane, and on the contrary, if the opponent gets the mid lane advantage, the one who has to deal with a monster hero during the 10-20 minute skirmish will become his own side.

Under the trade-off, Lu Xinlei chose the mid-laner split in almost every game where she could grab the mid-laner position, and the results did prove that there was nothing wrong with her judgment.

Even so, 100 matchmaking PVP matches is not an easy goal to achieve, even with four to five hours a day such a high-intensity game that was completely unimaginable in the minds of previous girls, Lu Xinlei only completed the goal this Sunday, and stepped into the door of the ladder road with an overall win rate of 91%.

The girl closes the final matchmaking screen, and the spirit warriors she manipulates make the opponent's tactical idea die in the 22nd minute of the game with a perfect result, if these people have a tactical idea. She wasn't going to take a break or do anything, the man used to want to do it all the time, and the girl herself was the one who would only do what was planned in the pre-planned time, although the starting point was different, but the two driving forces were in the same direction to manipulate the mouse to click into the screen of the ladder locator match.

It's time to start a real career.

Dota's ranked matches are based on position, and each player needs to choose their own position before playing, of course, not only one, but the final ladder score and segment will also be divided into two separate divisions, the core position and the support position, according to the player's performance in the match match match at different positions.

Because of this matchmaking mechanic, girls are now faced with the first significant decision of their career: whether to check all the positions to make the matchmaking process faster before entering the match, or whether to only check the core positions that they are good at to make their matches more competitive.

She made a decision about 30 seconds in this matter, and finally decided to trust herself rather than her teammates who were passers-by, and only checked the "core" and "mid" two positions that were biased towards core and individual abilities, and then confirmed that she was in the matching queue.

Although the ladder has brushed down a lot of ordinary players who only use this game as an entertainment or communication tool with high-intensity competition, but under the huge player base, matching is not so difficult - this is also related to Dota's root Electricic platform, although every player is more or less complaining that W as the general operation of the W company is not doing business, as an agent of the enterprise news is ugly, but in the operation of the game Dota both companies have worked hard.

Dota of the national server is not like other online games of Qixun in general, directly and obviously divided into such and such servers, all players are in fact connected to the same parent server, and only when playing online games will the appropriate line be selected according to the network situation and attribution, although the load brought to the server is undoubtedly far more than the traditional partition method, but it is undoubtedly a great optimization for the game match speed.

This costly and efficient mechanism is also faithfully reflected in Lu Xinlei's specific situation, originally with her impression, such a selfish way of checking positions will not match the opponent in five or six minutes, but in fact, her first ladder game in this world has come to the stage of preparation after less than two minutes of waiting.

All heroes are unlocked, but the position is not the core of the side she wants, but the mid laner - like a little joke that God gave to the girl, but it doesn't hurt, as a mid laner player will generally get the last hand to choose the counter by default, and the priority is the highest in terms of hero restraint, only in 50% of cases it will be restrained by the opponent's last hand hero.

And in this game, fortunately, according to the side situation, their team can get the final decision on the 10th hand selection.

The lineups of the two sides were shown in turn, all in all, it was still a very regular passerby ladder lineup, and no one had a single move to live, and the opponent's mid-laner players also confidently pointed out the Templar Assassin, a personal rhythm hero with the ability to clear the line and brush the field at a high speed of basic attacks.

So what should you choose? Lu Xinlei's teammates kindly pinged the avatars of several heroes to suggest choices, and the heroes they recommended were indeed those that ordinary players perceived as easy to deal with Templars in the laning phase, or who had the strength to fight in the later stages. But in contrast to these conventional choices, the girl's gaze is inexplicably drawn to another hero.

"The Annihilation Mage is here."

As she confirmed, the diminutive mage appeared on the screen, stretching his muscles on the confirmed hero display platform, staring at the off-screen girl with his eyes blazing with ominous green flames.

The teammates didn't say anything in the chat box - although this hero is a mid-lane regular, he is not very popular in the national server environment that is represented and characterized by solidity, and the Annihilation Mage itself is very vulnerable, not only because of his size, but also because of his skill set - his skills are basically all designed to limit the opponent's play and deal damage: one skill will deal area magic damage after a short delay; The second skill will cause the target, including allied targets, to fall into a state of nothingness, unable to attack or be attacked, and the magic damage received will be amplified; Skill 3 can place an Annihilation Lighthouse in a selected location, reduce mana regeneration from enemies in a large area, and deal damage to enemies when they use the skill.

Regardless of the ultimate skills that turn him into an immovable living target, these three basic skills do not provide any survivability in the face of a magic burst, and the opponent's support for this round happens to be a wandering hero who can provide enough magic bursts.

Exactly how this choice might be is still up for debate, but since it has been inexplicably chosen, there is no reason not to play.

Going out equipment selection basic attribute equipment stacks up attack power,The girl does not plan to choose the only direct damage skill in the early stage when she is at the first level,But decided to choose to learn the second skill nothingness,When it has been determined that the opponent's mid-lane hero can only rely on ordinary attacks to make up for the knife in the early stage,Such a choice can have an immeasurable impact on the lane。

With 20 seconds of preparation and decision-making time between the end of hero selection and the start of the game, teammates in the core positions can't help but ask:

"Can the middle lane work?"

"If you can't beat it, remember to call someone, the assistant can leave me alone and let me mix it up"

"I'm the last finale, please don't mess with me"

For the sake of a clean gaming experience, the girl didn't communicate outside of the necessary when she completed those 100 normal matches, and even turned off the team communication in the last few games, which can be said to be profitable. After insisting on listening to the song 1V9 for several hours, Lu Xinlei couldn't help but have some thoughts: no one wants to lose, but someone will always lose.

But this time it shouldn't be her and them, she provokes the corners of her mouth like the man she used to be, all mid laner players must dare to face the strange middle lane, and must also have the pride and confidence to bring victory to the team, these things are implemented in passers-by with just four simple words:

"Don't send a bag to win."

It was the first time in the world that she had typed out such words.
