Why can planes win the order?
Recently, among the hot topics on the Internet, a seemingly absurd question has triggered widespread discussion - "Why can airplanes be the mid laners?" This topic originated from gamers' ridicule of the role of airplanes (Corki) in "League of Legends", but it also reflects people's thinking about the intersection of reality and virtual worlds. The following is a compilation and analysis of hot content in the past 10 days.

2. Why can airplanes win the "mid order"?
1.Game settings analysis:
In "League of Legends", Corki (Airplane) is one of the few ADCs with mixed damage (physical + magic). His skill set (such as Q skill "Phosphorescent Bomb" and R skill "Rocket Bombardment") gives him long-range consumption and burst capabilities, which is suitable for fighting mages in the middle.
2.Version environment factors:
In the current version (13.10), the middle lane tends to be heroes with fast lane pushing and strong roaming. Airplane relies on the displacement and explosive pack mechanism of the W skill "Valkyrie Dive" to become the T1-level mid laner of the version.
| version data | winning rate | Appearance rate | Ban rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13.10 Mid laner Kuchi | 52.7% | 8.3% | 15.1% |
3. Interesting linkage between reality and virtuality
1."Compromise" of the laws of physics:
In reality, airplanes rely on aerodynamics, but in the game, Kuchi uses magic technology to achieve anti-physics operations (such as hovering in the air). This difference in settings has become a source of ridicule among players.
2.Recreation of cultural symbols:
In the second creation, "airplane mid laner" was derived into a funny meme of "civilian airliner hits the middle lane", and the related ghost video at Station B has been viewed more than 3 million times.

|---|---|---|
| Game balance discussion | 58% | “The explosive pack mechanism is too supermodel” |
| Entertainment jokes | 32% | "It is recommended to place an order for Boeing 747" |
| Realistic technology comparison | 10% | "A real airplane would have won the Nobel Prize if it were so flexible." |
5. The communication logic behind the phenomenon
1.Deconstruct serious issues:
By grafting game terminology to real things, the barriers to technological discussion are eliminated and users outside the circle are attracted to participate.
2.The viral spread of memes:
The simple and easy-to-understand "Why can XX be XX" sentence pattern is adapted to short video dissemination, and the Douyin #plane mid laner challenge topic has been viewed 120 million times.
