League of Legends: This Top Laner Smells Like a Corpse

After witnessing Faker claim his sixth title, the LPL sank to rock bottom.

Zhou Yang was astonished to find himself reborn at the end of the S11 season as a top-lane trainee on LGD’s second team.

He had assumed things would go just as they had in his previous life: he would retire without ever getting the chance to play in an LPL main-stage match.

Fortunately, though, he awakened a Trait System.

After scanning him, the System determined that he was a die-hard TheShy fan and an Uzi hater.

Zhou Yang gained two core traits: [Zombie Fanatic] and [Tilted Kid].

Using these core traits in-game could not only improve him rapidly, but also gave him a chance to unlock new traits.

After facing Xiao Tian, Zhou Yang gained the trait [Perfect Match].

After facing Bing Fan, Zhou Yang gained the trait [Rift Pianist].

After facing Uzi, Zhou Yang gained [God Without a Title] and [Streaming Prodigy].

After facing JJking, Zhou Yang gained [Demon Incarnate].

…

After facing Bin, Zhou Yang gained [Weibo Influencer].

…

With a huge collection of traits and absurdly high stats, Zhou Yang dominated the professional scene starting with the Demacia Cup.

But although he seemed to get stronger and stronger, the audience felt something was off.

“God Yang, why do you play so aggressively? What kind of strategy is this?”

After winning the S12 championship, esports reporter Yu Shuang asked him in an interview.

Zhou Yang smiled. “It’s the zombie playstyle.”
