For [God of the jungle], it made use of Malfurionâs model and had a relatively clear position. It was a very strong support for control and healing.
This design was quite successful because it took advantage of some of Warcraftâs skill settings and fit the heroâs appearance.
However,[Dark Ranger] was a different story.
Her skills were silence, dark arrow, Archer talent, and charm.
Silence, dark arrow, and charm were the same as Warcraft, while life drain was replaced with an Archerâs talent. It was a passive skill that permanently increased the dark Rangerâs range and critical chance.
Obviously, the designer of COG, Clive Lehmann, realized that life drain was somewhat contrary to the dark Rangerâs hero setting, so he changed it to a more suitable skill for archers.
However, in Chen Moâs opinion, it was too overpowered to use the dark Ranger on this map.
First of all, dark Rangers could rely on dark arrows to summon skeleton soldiers without limit. In the early stages, they could push the lane like crazy and suppress the opponent.
Furthermore, he did not know if it was intentional or negligently designed by the designer, but the other party did not pay for the skeleton soldiers that they killed, and only gave a very small amount of experience.
In other words, by relying on this skill alone, the dark Ranger could gain an absolute advantage in the lane and could attract aggro by using minions to carry towers to madly consume the other partyâs HP.
Moreover, dark Rangers could rely on the Archer talent skill to permanently increase their range and critical chance, which was equivalent to bringing forward the strong period of a hero that was originally set to be carried in the later stages.
When the dark Ranger was Level 6, she could lead a group of skeleton soldiers and lured wild monsters to invade the enemyâs wild area. Even if she couldnât kill the enemy, she could still snatch the wild areaâs resources and greatly supplement her own development.
Therefore, in the hands of those who knew how to play, the dark Ranger would definitely become a strong hero in the early, middle, and late stages through rolling a snowball. This was obviously too strong, and it was contrary to the position of this hero.
If she already had a strong late-game carry ability, she shouldnât have such a strong online suppression.
Of course, this was mostly because the designer of COG, Clive Lehman, was still in the fumbling stage and didnât know so much.
The players didnât realize that the design was unreasonable. They only had a vague feeling that the dark Ranger was very powerful.
Chen Zhao could tell how perverted this hero was, so he chose her without hesitation.
Chen Zhaoâs Dark Ranger arrived at the tower in the middle.
COGâs map was similar to Chenghai 3C âs. There were three roads from left to right. The middle road was the closest, while the top and bottom roads were further apart.
However, there was already the concept of a jungle in COG. There were many wild monsters in the jungle, such as low-level murlocs and tortoises, and high-level Red Dragons and mountain giants.
In terms of the distribution of turrets, COG was also more scientific. There were three turrets on each road, which could ensure the safety of some late-game Champions in the lane. They would not be caught until they had doubts about their lives.
At this time, the other sideâs players typed in the public chat: âA high imitation of S-God?â
A moment later, Chen Moâs teammate also typed: âIt doesnât look like a high-quality imitation. Itâs S-God. The letters are exactly the same.â
âF * ck, Chen Mo?â
âEven Chen Mo is playing this map?â
âItâs really Chen Mo! It was not a high imitation! My heavens!â
His three teammates and five opponents were all excited. They confirmed again and again that the dark Ranger in the middle lane was indeed Chen Mo âs.
These people immediately began to chat on the public screen.
âIâve already taken a screenshot. Playing with S-God, I can brag about it for a week!â
âItâs really Chen Mo. I wanted to ask when youâre going to release a new RPG map?â
âIâm asking for a friend spot, big brother!â
Chen Zhao was speechless. He really couldnât keep a low profile.
There was nothing I could do about it. Even though I had intentionally tried to hide it, I was still such an eye-catching man. My melancholic eyes, my moustached beard, my amazing skills, and my mischievous appearance under the tower had all deeply betrayed me.
Dark Ranger (everyone):âfight well. You screwed up your title.â
Everyone was speechless.
Everyone gave up on the idea of watching Chen Zhao and quickly returned to their seats.
âS-God, do you want me to follow you and heal you?â a teammate asked.
âNo, Iâm mid.â
Although the players in this world didnât know what âmidâ meant, just by looking at the literal meaning, everyone could understand the meaning of the word.
Considering that Chen Mo was the designer of Warcraft, everyone suppressed their desire to teach him how to play the game. These people wanted to tell Chen Mo that dark Rangers usually took the bottom lane and worked with support champions.
Chen Moâs opponent was Bloodmage, the Warcraft hero Kael âthas. Of course, his skills were completely different from the crazed Carl in DOTA.
The blood mageâs skills were flaming storm, banish, blood sacrifice, and fire Phoenix.
It was similar to the skills in Warcraft, except that the drain was replaced by blood sacrifice. The passive effect of this skill could permanently increase the maximum health of the blood mage. After activation, the blood mage could use their health instead of mana to cast the skill.
In addition, the fire Phoenixâs effect was to first deal damage to the area before summoning the fire Phoenix, which was a bit similar to Hellfire.
The Bloodmageâs position was a high-explosive mage. The three-hit combo of banish, flaming storm, and fire Phoenix could complete the instant kill of most fragile heroes. Although his skills consumed a lot of blue, he could use his health points to release skills in an emergency, which made up for the blue consumption problem to a certain extent.
The enemyâs blood mage was very aggressive. He used a flaming storm to burn Chen Moâs minions and then pushed the lane like crazy, trying to keep Chen Mo under the tower.
Chen Zhao didnât panic. He waited for the enemy minions to reach the tower and used dark arrow to finish them off. Soon, six skeletons stood up.
With Chen Moâs current reaction speed and mechanics, it was impossible for him to miss a minion.
While the blood mage was still in awe of Chen Moâs farming skills, the six little skeletons had already started pushing the lane for the dark Ranger.
Zou Zhuo was at the top lane, and he was concerned about Chen Mo as he played,ââManager, can you do it? The blood mage dealt AoE damage and seemed to be more effective against the dark Ranger. The dark Ranger had to learn silence before it was easier to fight. Why donât you hold on and wait for me to help you?â
Before zou Zhuo could finish, the system prompted,ââThe dark Ranger has killed the blood mage!â
Zou Zhuo was speechless.
