In Dota games, the hero's initial money to purchase outgoing gear can be placed in the decision-making time before the game officially starts, so the heroes don't have to stay in the spawn fountain for long after the game starts.

Just like this game, the five people who had already decided to split the route paused a little and ran to their respective positions according to the pre-game plan - but not on the line, there is a special rune mechanism in Dota, some locations on the map will periodically refresh neutral runes, and opening runes will provide different attributes or economic bonuses for heroes, among them, after the countdown of one and a half minutes before the creep refreshes, and every five full five minutes after the game officially starts, A total of four Bounty Runes will spawn at regular intervals in the upper and lower lanes and in the triangle jungles on both sides, while one of the six Enhancement Runes will spawn randomly every two full minutes in the two locations near the middle lane.

Activating the Bounty Rune will provide a certain amount of economic income for each hero of the team, the first Rune after starting the game will provide 40 gold for each person, and then the Bounty Rune refreshed every five minutes will increase the economic reward by 10 points in turn, at this level, the Bounty Rune is indeed necessary to at least ensure that the opponent does not control more strategic resources unless it is necessary or impossible.

This set of four bounty runes refreshed at the beginning has a high chance of causing an armed weapon fight - since the heroes on both sides only have one skill point when they go out, most of the first-level heroes can only rely on ordinary attacks for hand-to-hand combat after throwing out their only skill, but even so, there will still be quite a cruel scene in the battle of one more fight.

In this scene, Lu Xinlei and her teammates are on the side of the Scourge, that is, the upper right side of the map, and the two teammates in the lower lane, that is, the disadvantage lane of the Scourge can hold on to the bounty rune refresh point located in the depths of their own wild area, while the teammates on the upper part of the dominant road can only risk leaving their own wild area and going deep into the river to control the bounty rune on the other side.

Dota's river is the lowest position terrain in the entire game map, due to Dota's realistic vision design, low-position units cannot get high-position vision, and long-range attacks on high-position targets from a low position also have a chance to fail.

"Retreat"

After seeing the three blood bars emerging from the shadow of the opponent's field of vision leading to the river, the core position and the pure support invariably gave each other a signal to "retreat". The hero chosen by the eldest brother in the core position has a certain ability to escape, so his heart is not very unconfident, but unfortunately, the hero of the pure auxiliary selection of this game has no ability to escape in the early stage.

"Sell me, sell me, sell me, don't care, go down the road and press the river directly."

After being controlled by the first hand and seeing that the opponent's three heroes had quickly come to his side, the passerby player in the pure support position simply gave up resistance and threw out his control skills, and the goal was only to make it not so easy for the opponent to kill him. For support veterans, this kind of danger is as common as air in a Dota game, and even at this point, there is time to direct teammates in the lane to take a more aggressive stance.

There is no longer any hope of getting the two bounty charms on the road, but if you can get the two bounty charms on the bottom road, it will be harmless-

"The Sanctuary is at the bottom of the rune, he's"

At the Bounty Rune spawn point on the lower river, the Templar Assassin's avatar is indeed moving.

"It's okay, the sanctuary on the other side doesn't know how to play, and the soldiers don't get stuck."

The pure auxiliary passer-by, who had already given away a blood, opened the microphone to comfort his teammates while counting the seconds: "Leave him alone, wait for the line to reach the middle lane of this temple to suffer, don't send it again." ”

The teammates retreated, and they really couldn't guarantee victory in a two-on-two situation, although they were behind two bounty runes and one one-blood kill at the beginning, and the team economy of nearly 600 gold coins was lost, but as the support player said, such an act of investing all five heroes in a talisman battle would seriously affect the mid lane.

The spirit of Dota is condensed into the spirit of the mid-laner, and the spirit of the mid-laner is unscrupulous, intriguing, especially the dog's strength, and the understanding of the middle lane to the line is to understand Dota. In such a laning environment where you can't wait to fight the other party again, any factor that may make the laning environment favorable to you will be discovered by generations of mid-laner players, and the control of the lane is one of the more basic techniques.

Unless there are some special situations, all units in Dota have a collision volume, and the movement mechanism of the creeps will cause them to pause briefly to find a new route when they encounter obstacles, which is why the mid-laner hero is very important to the lane walking towards the river, especially the first wave of creeps in the whole game, if you can control the crossfire point of the two lanes on your own platform, then there will be a lot more uncertainty for the enemy's long-range mid-laner hero:

There is a good chance that an attack on an opponent's creep on a high platform in a lowland river will not hit the target, and if you climb the opponent's high platform to ensure that you hit the target, you will inevitably be beaten by the opponent.

And in this game, the opponent's mid-laner hero gave up the card position of the first wave of creeps, which means that he gave up control of the pawn line. Lu Xinlei, who had already practiced the basic skills of the mid-laner card soldier, naturally would not let go, and the contact point of the first wave of troops was perfectly controlled at the edge of the attack range of a tower in the middle lane, while on the side, the green annihilation mage and the dark purple Templar assassin faced each other across the river.

The opponent's mid-laner player is not in a hurry to go up directly, and now the minions have just started to exchange fire, and there is no creep's blood near the mending line, and now if he gets too close, he is likely to be wiped off by the annihilation mage for nothing, although his choice for the upgrade of instant combat power is the refraction shield - to provide himself with a certain number of attack power bonuses and complete damage reduction effects, but it does not mean that it is a very wise thing to go up and eat consumption stupidly.

The Templar Assassin is a ranged hero, but her initial attack range is only at the level of a melee hero, and she needs to rely on another skill, Psionic Blade, to gain additional attack range and attack modifiers.

According to the thinking of ordinary people, there is no very strong passive annihilation mage will choose the only direct damage skill at the first level, which means that there is no problem in judging the opponent's hand and opening a refraction shield to completely cancel out the damage of the annihilation detonation. The player wielding the Templar Assassin carefully tapped over each creep's head and read their health, and it didn't take long for the minions' health to fall below the danger line.

He stretched his shoulders and was arranged by his girlfriend to play the final match was a piece of cake for a player with an extraordinary level in his actual rank, and the Templar Assassin was a unique hero who strengthened his self-confidence, even if he didn't take advantage of the mid lane, the powerful speed of the hero himself would make everything go at his own pace.

This plan only exists in theory, the corners of the young man's mouth in front of the screen are slightly hooked, and there are few players who can make him unable to take advantage of the middle lane when he meets at the level of the fixed score match......

The sudden blurring of the image of the hero on the screen interrupted the rehearsal of the situation in his mind, as well as the weapon that the Templar Assassin raised in order to attack, the Oblivion Mage II Ability: Nothingness. Targets affected by this ability cannot attack.

"Tsk." The young man frowned, and in his heart, because of the unknown and incomprehension, he suddenly felt a little uneasy about his opponent who was separated by several network cables on two screens.

————————————————

The cooldown time of the first-level void is 18 seconds, and the duration is 3 seconds, which may be enough for 30 seconds to refresh a wave of troops, but in order to affect the opponent's replenishment rhythm more smoothly, Lu Xinlei upgraded the second-level void at level 3, and can void the opponent twice during the firefight of a wave of troops.

Creeps with residual blood can not only be replenished by enemy heroes, Dota inherited a mechanism in the previous real-time strategy game is that all units can force attacks on friendly units, and they have made certain innovations to this mechanism, only creeps with less than half of the health can be attacked by friendly heroes, if the creeps die from the attack of friendly heroes, the opposing hero can only gain 25% experience, this mechanism was named denying by players - and later officially adopted.

In a wave of four creeps, the experience gained by the ranged soldier being killed accounts for 40%, that is to say, if the ranged soldier is denied by the enemy, the opposing hero can only eat 70% of the experience of the whole wave of creeps.

The skill of Void is the answer that Lu Xinlei prepared for this match, and now the effect is perfect: due to a few Voids stuck in the mending line, the opponent's Templar Assassin has not been able to eat even the experience of a ranged soldier, and even the melee creeps have not been able to fully control it, and when the Annihilation Mage reaches level 6, the Templar Assassin, who has a body of martial arts but cannot perform it like a quagmire, is still a little bit of experience before he can reach level 5.

Of course, before this, the opponent had already smelled the difficulties of the lane and escaped into the wild area, and the girl did not know the other party's economic situation very well, but she was very confident that the other party's current situation was very bad.

The courier sent a new batch of equipment, the time is less than the fifth minute of the game, the day-night cycle every five minutes has not yet begun, it is still a daytime weather with a wide field of vision, and the movement speed of the Annihilation Mage who has obtained the Wind Emblem and Straw Shoes has reached 400, and among these basic equipment, there is also a set of two Manifestation Dust that was transported by the courier.

It was not wise to let the Templar Assassins go into the jungle, and she decided to take the initiative.

Strictly speaking, the Annihilation Mage's ultimate ability, Life Drain, and the Templar Assassin are mutually restrained, and Life Drain requires the Annihilation Mage to stand still and continuously guide, but the effect is also considerable, as this skill will deal high magic damage to individual targets at a high frequency and heal itself for the duration of the skill. Due to its high damage frequency, the Refracted Shield skill, which can only block a fixed number of damages, is almost useless, but the Templar Assassin can also use the Stealth ability to enter invisibility to avoid damage.

This situation will not go unnoticed by the girl, and the set of Manifest Dust that is always on standby in her inventory is designed to keep this from happening.

When the time came to five minutes, the sky in the game darkened with a wolf howl, and the vision of heroes, creeps and defense towers suddenly narrowed - it was very suitable for doing some stealing things, but Lu Xinlei didn't want others to disrupt the situation, she almost subconsciously put her finger on the switch of the team's voice, but after hesitating for two seconds, she still called out the chat box and began typing:

"Brothers, fight on the side, I'm going to move the Templars"

It didn't take long for the confirmation replies from his teammates to sound in the voice channel, the mid lane was not an island, and the Templar Assassin, after sensing that his opponent was not simple, decisively did what a mature mid laner should do: shout to help me; And his teammates were also timely in response, and the opposing wandering hero used the mid lane as a supermarket, having already visited twice in just five minutes.

In the eyes of Lu Xinlei's teammates, this kind of lane suppression situation is also a performance of excellent mid-laner strength, and for the reasonable requirements of such a player who is likely to be a thigh, of course, he must try his best to complete it within his ability.

The support heroes of the two side lanes had already walked towards the bounty rune refresh point of the river before the arrival of 5 minutes, and the two players who might have just wanted to grab it but couldn't just leave, immediately beat the opposing hero who also came to try to activate the rune, such a ferocious operation made the other party have to think that there were many big men hiding in the shadows above the high ground, and chose to evacuate after hastily handing over the skills to ensure that the blood exchange was not a very loss.

"The mid-laner has come to gank the rune?" The possibility briefly popped into their minds, but was immediately denied by the message that popped up on the screen:

The Mage of Annihilation killed the Templar Assassin

A node where the bounty rune is refreshed, and the attention of both sides is distracted, and the encounter is a single kill completed in the jungle. The other eight individuals who seemed unrelated to the kill quickly cut to the location of the crime, and in the vision that the Templar Assassin briefly retained after his death, a near-complete Annihilation Mage quickly walked by.

"Nice's single-kill, beautiful."

Even if they didn't pay attention to the battle situation of the two heroes at all, of course, as teammates, they would not hesitate to applaud, but I have to admit that these praises are a bit exaggerated, because the operation of this single kill is really simple.

The girl simply used the Annihilation Mage's high movement speed to sweep through the opponent's jungle area, found the Templar Assassin who was fighting the monsters, and used the feigned gesture canceled during the release of the Annihilation Detonation to trick the already popular Templar Assassin's refractive shield, and then prevented the opponent from escaping invisibly and spilling the dust of manifestation and then igniting the void and life drain. Due to the narrow field of vision at night, the two heroes were very close to each other after spotting each other, and the Templar Assassin, who had consumed too much of his status on the monsters, was not able to escape alive from the life-draining range.

What happened next proved that even if the Templar Assassin could run out, it would not hurt if he could run out, and only two minutes later, the two heroes who encountered again in another jungle played out the same scene, this time the Templar Assassin was not tricked into refracting the shield, and fled outside the range of the Annihilation Mage's skills at the first time of the encounter, but the Templar Assassin who was slowed down by the Void even if he had straw sandals, could not outrun the Annihilation Mage with all the basic movement speed equipment, only 7 seconds later, Once again, the Annihilation Mage returned the Templar Assassin to the fountain after the Life Drain cooldown had ended.

This time, it was a kill in front of the enemy's two support heroes who had teleported to support, but the two support heroes who had no economy to get out of the shoes could only throw out two painless skills and watch the annihilation mage escape.

"Brother Nice, it's up to you, you can fight as much as you say"

"I'm full of tools, brother, what do you want me to say?"

The girl didn't say anything, although she was happy with the trust of her teammates, but on the other hand, the girl herself was not very happy, but-

She can't open the microphone now and shout "Who is your brother".

Face is always given, these are small things, and the ladder score is important.
