My name is Yu Yan. I'm a gaming addict who loves playing Ma Chao. During a Diamond-ranked match, my teammates and I piled pressure on the mid-lane Xishi, and Lingbao set me up. From then on, I could only play Xishi.
I tried uninstalling the game and playing something else, but everything turned into Honor of Kings. With no other choice, I kept playing.
Playing Xishi and getting a taste of what it's like to be at the bottom, all I wanted was to reduce my rage meter to zero percent as soon as possible.
Then one day, I got bullied in ranked. I saw that the enemy Lanling King had a national-level badge, so I invited him to duo with me. To my surprise, he agreed!
Later, Lanling King even gifted me Xishi's FMVP skin. But it turned out someone had been boosting that account. The account owner found the gift record and demanded I pay them back!
After going through so many grievances in the game, I figured I might as well rely on myself instead of hoping someone else would carry me to victory. So I practiced hard and finally learned the combos.
With the golden finger Lingbao provided, my chance of landing a pull gradually improved, and I started taking control of the tempo more and more.
But then...
“Full AP on Xishi? What the f*** are you playing at?”
Even when I played like a top-tier mid laner, I still got flamed.
I finally understood what “full AP” meant. Apparently, Xishi only counts as not going full AP if she builds the same items as Bai Qi.
Build any ability power items at all, and you're full AP!
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. Whenever I ran into someone like that, I muted them without a word. What's the point of talking to someone drooling at the mouth? Just like Zhuge Liang's voice line says, “Low intelligence is contagious. Stay away from me!”
