Chapter 508: A 1 vs 3 By Shallow Dream!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Needless to say, Jingsiong was good at playing as an ADC.

He knew that the reason why Luocheng had pounced at him was to take some damage for Orianna who was behind him. That was why, after killing Luocheng, he walked straight to the bush and pretended that he was running. However, he turned around suddenly…

Since Orianna did not have her Ultimate right then, her damage could only come from her Q and W-skills. In reality, these two skills were easy to miss, and so, most of the players that were experienced in using Orianna didn’t use their Q-skill to attack but instead, used the movement of the Q-skill to deal damage. After that, depending on the enemy’s placement, they might use the W-skill .

One thing to remember was that Orianna’s Q-skill must not be used to deal damage directly. There was a high chance of whiffing the skill. When flying, the magic ball still dealt damage, plus, if you estimated the path that the enemy was going to take when using the skill, the chances of hitting the skill was going to increase.

Jingsiong understood this point, which was why he was careful in his positioning. If it was an average Orianna player, their Q and W-skills would definitely have missed.

Just as Jingsiong was thinking that his movements were great, Shallow Dream’s Orianna shot out a QW-combo right on him. The magic ball opened up and did an immense amount of damage on Jingsiong’s ADC!

That was how confident she was. Shallow Dream was smart with her placement of the skill, placing it right in the middle of Jingsiong’s path.

Now that there were more people playing LOL, there would be more people who could calculate the trajectory of the skills, allowing them to dodge it with ease. To deal with this situation, those skills could just be cast right on the enemy. If they used the conventional way to dodge, they would definitely be hit by the skill.

SHUT DOWN!

It was also a kill that was worth 500 gold!

The only reason that Luocheng used himself as a meat shield was to give Shallow Dream a chance to get a kill.

His Kha’Zix could not kill them all, so it was up to the Shallow Dream to see if she could finish the job!

“ACE!!!”

In exchange for four deaths, they had gotten five kills. This teamfight had ended in Luocheng’s team’s favor.

At the start, it had been a miraculous start. He had gotten to kill the Top, Jungler and also the Mid. It was clear that he had wanted to end the game in twenty minutes. Who knew that this match would be so heated and they could only come out with a four for five?

“Luocheng, the Koreans really want you dead. Didn’t you want to stream three matches? They want you to lose all three games and put the clips on the internet and spread the word that you are the captain for the winning team. Needless to say, you cannot lose all three games. Heck, even if we lose two games out of three, we would still be laughed at.” Xie Lianda said to Luocheng through the phone.

Luocheng really was sad. He had planned this stream… Did he dig his own grave?

After thinking carefully, it was true. He was indeed the LPL’s winning team’s captain. If he lost three games in a row in Korea’s Diamond 1 matches, this would drag the name of Chinese Esports down the drain!

He could not afford to lose this game!

The matchup did not look good. On the surface, they looked as though they were winning, but in fact, the ADC had not managed to farm enough, not to mention that the Support was also a traitor. That teamfight just now was basically a 2 vs 5, how could they win!?

Why was the ADC important? Why was the ADC always the core of the team? That was because if the ADC was still alive, it did not matter if it was pushing; killing the Dragon or even the Baron would be easier. However, if the Mid was still alive, other than killing one or two minion waves, he would not be able to make a game-deciding game, and this was the biggest thorn in Luocheng’s side.

Then, how could they win?

Luocheng knew that this had just become related to the country’s ‘image’. He was also deeply disgusted by how low the Koreans would stoop to. He privately messaged Shallow Dream and told her about the whole situation.

“So, what should we do now?” Shallow Dream replied.

“We have got to get rid of the Support.” Luocheng replied.

He was not that scared of a 4 vs 5, but he was, in fact, scared of a 4 vs 6.

The people who played in the bottom lane would get the feeling a lot. When you were paired with a Support that was bad, he wasn’t just useless, he would also put you off your game and mess up your ADC position. At this time, you would prefer to play in the bottom lane by yourself and farm on your own.

It was the same logic. In a 4 vs 5 fight, everyone would place their skills in a very appropriate fashion if there were just the four of you. The positioning and movements would also be calculated properly. But if you added in the fifth person and he did some stupid sh*t, you would just lose the game.

It was as the saying goes: If you found out that your teammate was just trolling, just treat him like a dog. Do not treat him like a person. If he wants to die, let him die. If he wants to jump in, let him jump. You should just sit back and play normally.

“Don’t you know Korean? Tell him to clear the lanes, push the lanes or something! Even if he gets caught and is killed by pushing, it would still be far more useful than sticking with us in a teamfight!” Luocheng said.

He had to get this idiot out of the big picture, otherwise, it would be too much of a hassle in a teamfight. Other people when they played ADC would think that they had an earnest and good Support helping them and that was the reason they were relaxed. Who knew that this guy was actually a traitor?

“Okay, if he is present, we are not going to initiate a teamfight.” Shallow Dream said.

The call of initiating a teamfight or not lay with Luocheng and Shallow Dream. After that, they especially told Renekton to not start the teamfight, even if someone took a wrong step and got caught, do not jump in. With this, the teamfights would be much easier to handle now.

Kunti was told to go and push the lane. On his part, he also did not dare to act too suspiciously, so he really did what they told him to, taking the minions in quite far as well.

The Jungler on the other side naturally did not know that this was a set-up, and so, he went in to kill Kunti.

As soon as Luocheng and Shallow Dream saw that there was one person gone, Luocheng charged ahead and used his E-skill to pounce right into the enemies!

It was the same way to initiate the teamfight, the same way to get in and out. The only difference was that this time, Jingsiong had a vision ward on him. As soon as Luocheng landed, he placed a vision ward where Luocheng had landed, and with this, Luocheng would have a big price to pay for jumping in.

Luckily, Luocheng made it out alive and got a chance for his team to deal some damage to the enemy team.

Shallow Dream saw that Renekton was taking the damage for Luocheng and put a shield on Renekton. By casting her ulti, she got the enemy Top and Mid wrapped up together.

Shallow Dream already had a void staff, and with a few skills, the enemy Mid who was unlucky almost got killed again.

The problem was, if there was a Kha’Zix there, you would definitely not survive with so little HP!

Of course the Mid tried to find somewhere to hide, but unfortunately, he was killed by Luocheng dropping down from the sky.

***

This time, Jingsiong was smart. His target was not the ADC anymore, instead, he used his ulti and tried his best to kill Shallow Dream’s Orianna!

Shallow Dream in turn used her Flash to get away from the attack and used Orianna’s skills to the best of her ability.

“This Orianna is also quite good!” Jingsiong thought in his mind. That China boy was quite lucky to get such a reliable teammate, otherwise, this game would be over already!

Luocheng did not have much health left, which was why he did not jump into the fight recklessly again. He stood aside and watched Shallow Dream try to fight three enemies at once. After the tanky Renekton was locked in place for three seconds by Morgana, he was ignored by the three enemies!

“Actually… actually, today we will be talking about how to play Orianna. Everyone should pay attention to how this Orianna plays…” Luocheng talked to his audience as he played.

In fact, you could see how redundant Luocheng was being now. Earlier, he had just been telling Shallow Dream about how important this game was and how they should play properly, yet now, he was just sitting aside and watching Shallow Dream face three enemies at once. If he did not fight with him, it was still okay, but how could you also talk with the audience?

“Look at this movement… The position of the magic ball… Ah, that was awesome! I want to kill Morgana, Soraka does not have her Silence anymore!” Luocheng did not even finish and realized that it was time for him to show up, jumping fiercely from the bush! With an EQW-combo, he cleaned up Morgana who still had only half her health left due to Shallow Dream’s damage and then jumped gracefully to the edge of the bush again!

Kha’Zix really was a disgusting champion. After watching him jump in with such low HP, he left after getting a kill even before you could get a shot at him!

Jingsiong cursed him yet again.

What could you do? That Kha’Zix really could dodge. Just a second of being distracted and the Support’s life was taken in a flash!

Once the Support died, that thick Renekton could not be held down anymore. Renekton jumped in from the back and took some pressure off Orianna. All Shallow Dream had to do now was to wait for her skill’s cooldown to finish so that she could deal more damage yet again.

***

This teamfight went very smoothly. Other than the ADC not being able to stay alive, Renekton, Khazix, and Orianna were still alive.

Lee Sin, who had killed the Support, had finally come by, but he did not have any use now that the fight was over. Luocheng did not go back to the fountain even though he had very low health and instead, he pushed the mid lane tower.

That Lee Sin might have been scared off by Luocheng. After kicking Luocheng, he was still too scared to continue. You need to know the difficulty of not kicking someone after hitting the Q-skill was extremely hard!

Upon successfully taking the enemy mid lane tower at the high-ground, Luocheng chose to return to base.

Shallow Dream and Renekton decided against going back to base and proceeded to forcefully take down the enemy inhibitor, but it was just too bad that Renekton overstayed his visit.

The enemy played it very logically, and once they saw that Orianna had rushed home, Renekton was killed in a second. Seeing that Kha’Zix also needed time to regain his health, the bunch of people who had respawned rushed straight to the Baron!

One of the best scenarios was when someone won a teamfight and pushed to the enemy high-ground, destroying the inhibitor along the way…

At this time, once the enemy respawned, they would rush straight to the Baron. Once you had respawned and finally gathered up the courage to go face them, the Baron would already have been killed by them.

This problem raised a big question in the community:

After winning a teamfight, should you kill the Baron or push the enemy high-ground?
