Undefeatable – League of Legends

Chapter 515: Blind Spot

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“D*mn it, today is not a good day!” Walker sighed in irritation as he thought to himself.

Walker’s Nidalee was quite well-known in the Korean server, but today, in the situation to contest for the Dragon, he had only managed to hit one target out of the four targets that he had, and this one target he hit had been Wukong’s clone, which was unbelievable even to Walker himself.

Of course, if Walker were to realize the identities of the four he was playing against, it wouldn’t be so unbelievable.

Compared to a professional player from the top eight OGN team like Walker, no matter whether it was Xiao Zhuai, Xie Lianda, or Shallow Dream, their reaction time and positionings were definitely world-class level. If your Nidalee thinks she can poke them easily, dream on. You still need years of practice.

To put it bluntly, the four of them that you were playing against were just that good, it had nothing to do with whether you had a feel for it or not!

The Dragon was smoothly taken and Luocheng’s team was definitely in the lead in terms of gold.

After taking the Dragon, all of them returned to their respective lanes to farm.

Lianda hadn’t used his ulti during the previous gank, and during the time they were taking the Dragon, he had unleashed his ulti toward the middle lane, causing Nidalee, who had been hanging around them, to lose another wave of gold.

At the bottom lane, Shallow Dream was in complete control of her health and mana. She had a Doran’s Blade and had already reached Level 6. She had about 2,000 gold on her champion, and Luocheng was debating whether or not she was aiming to save enough for a Bloodthirster before heading back.

Sure enough, Shallow Dream recalled back to base and immediately bought a B.F. Sword and Berserker’s Greaves!

Caitlyn was already very painful in the early-game in terms of poke, but there would be some mana problems in the early and mid-game stage. Her ulti wasn’t as flashy as the other champions, but once she had a B.F. Sword and Berserker’s Greaves, she would be a force to be reckoned with. In this case, the opponent’s Support wouldn’t even dare to come forward to harass her because the moment they got hit once, with one Headshot, an EQ-combo, and an ulti, they would definitely die immediately!

Shallow Dream was smart, she knew that the enemy ADC was strong. There was not much possibility to take advantage in the lane, so she settled for farming peacefully, widening the gap between the CS by about 10.

And now, with the gold from the Dragon and assist in kills, her items were definitely more effective than Yisheng who only had a Berserker’s Greaves.

***

Luocheng’s Galio was not overly aggressive either, he was patiently waiting for Level 6.

Looking at Shallow Dream’s items, Luocheng knew that it was time to hit a wave!

Their opponent was being cautious, and with Nami not having Flash, she didn’t even consider using her CC skills, leaving Luocheng unable to get a chance to initiate anything. After all, you couldn’t expect him to just Flash forward and activate his ulti...

A string of Korean words that ended with ‘simida’ appeared.

Luocheng glanced to the top lane, realizing that the turret had already been destroyed by the opponent Top. Their own Top was behind by 2 levels and his CS was below by at least half.

Top had been slaughtered to the point that he wasn’t worth any gold anymore, to the extent that their opponent could have gotten a Sword of the Occult.

The opponent Top was high level and this was a serious problem.

There was one thing in LOL that was easily overlooked, and that was the levels.

In many cases, level was more important than items because you would always find that no matter how f*cking tanky the Top was, with a combo of skills thrown onto them, it would still be strangely painful, and the reason for that was because the opponent’s level was way higher than yours!

The Top right now was at a higher level than everyone by quite a bit, adding on the luxurious items that he had, it would definitely be a big deal in teamfights at 20 minutes.

At the bottom lane, they couldn’t be farming so leisurely anymore. The later the game dragged on, the advantages between them would be more obvious.

“Force it!” Shallow Dream pinged Luocheng.

It seemed that Luocheng and her were of the same mind, they couldn’t just farm peacefully anymore. Since they had the advantage of better items, it was better to use it and forcefully pressure their opponents!

Luocheng nodded, waiting a while for this wave of minions to push slightly more to his side.

***

Yisheng continued to maintain his pressure on the lane. As he had sufficient vision control at the bottom lane, he wasn’t worried about getting ganked. Even if Wukong came from the top side, he wasn’t afraid since he had his ulti.

“Eh, Galio is missing.” The Support Nami pinged a question mark.

The minion wave had already pushed forward, but Nami could only see Caitlyn near the turret freezing the minion wave with no signs of Galio.

Nami glanced at the middle lane, and seeing that a fight was about to break out, she hurriedly pinged missing at the bottom lane again, signaling that the bottom lane enemy champion was missing.

“Push and kill her then!” Yisheng smiled coldly. Playing against him in the bottom lane, they dared to leave Caitlyn alone here to defend, wasn’t that just asking for it?

Even if they had to force and dive the turret, they would kill Caitlyn!

Nami could see Yisheng’s intention, and she finally moved forward from the back of the wave, trying to find a chance to initiate with an ulti to kill Caitlyn.

Bam!

Just when the two of them suddenly stepped forward, out of the blue, a monster with petrified wings suddenly Flashed over!

The Sentinel’s Sorrow, its sturdy arms wrapped around itself, its body suspended in the air as its feet curled slightly, huge wings wrapped securely around its entire body. Its color changed completely, the wind picking up and surrounding it from the bottom of its feet, you could almost feel the intense prickly feeling coming from the gust!

Anyone who stepped into this area would be filled with inexplicable anger and would become a bull who had nothing in his eyes but the red cloth, charging at Galio who was safely encased in its statue status.

Idol of Durand, Taunt!

The scattered wind surrounding the gargoyle had reached Nami and Sivir.

Nami was not prepared for this assault and was ultimately caught in the taunt, unable to use any of her skills as the wind swept her mind with it. She lost control of herself in her rage, using her meager basic attack to attack Galio, knowing that it would only cause more damage to herself.

Sivir was quick to react, activating her Spell Shield the moment Galio had Flashed in!

Yisheng responded quickly, he clearly knew that Galio’s ulti was a continuous effect, and even though the Spell Shield had briefly resisted the taunt effect, he would still be caught up in it when his Spell Shield fell.

After activating his Spell Shield, he Flashed out immediately as soon as he could, leaving the affected area of Galio’s ulti, throwing his skills from afar!

“This guy...where the h*ll did he come from!?” Yisheng cursed in frustration.

This bush had a ward and they could clearly see what was happening from it, so why did it seem as though Galio had Flashed from this bush and ulti-ed out!?

Yisheng had managed to escape by using his skills, but Nami who had been taunted would definitely die!

Sure enough, after channeling the Idol of Durand for 2 seconds, the bonus damage coupled with Caitlyn’s terrifying damage, Nami was instantly wasted.

Yisheng knew that he stood no chance and he hurriedly activated his ulti and retreated with his tail between his legs. Even after recalling back to base, Yisheng still couldn’t figure out where Galio, who was clearly missing, had come from!

***

After killing Nami, the live broadcast platform was full of cheers and praise again.

Yisheng and Nami’s vision couldn’t see where Luocheng was, but everyone who had been watching the stream from Luocheng’s view could clearly see that Galio had actually been standing in the bush.

Initially, everyone was puzzled. They had clearly seen Nami warding the bush previously, and with Luocheng standing there, he would definitely be spotted. If he was caught by accident, he would definitely be killed...

At this time, Luocheng gave an explanation through his mic: “Wards have a range of vision, including when in a bush. Just now, Nami planted the ward on the bottom left side of the bush. It seemed to have illuminated the entire stretch of the bush, but in fact, the detection range of the vision from it is based on the ward as the centre of a circle. In this slightly sloping terrain with tall grass, the top right corner of it is actually shadowed, so if you don’t step into the bush, you won’t be able to see it.”

Nami had walked into the river to place a ward and she had walked back upward, not stepping into the bush at all.

She and Yisheng had seen the minion wave pass the entire length of the bush as well as the ward that had brightened up the bush. Galio wasn’t in lane and he wasn’t in the bush either. They would have assumed that Galio would have used another route to go to the middle lane or recall back to base, never imagining that Luocheng had seen the position of the ward and had used it to his advantage to hide in that small patch of unseen angle at the top right side of the bush.

That’s right, the entire length of the bush was illuminated, leaving only such a small patch that was shadowed, the majority of the people would have ignored it!

Yet, Luocheng chose to hide there because he knew that the spot he was standing on was a blind spot and they wouldn’t be able to see him unless they face-checked the bush with their champions!

Others would use other positions and the walls to achieve this effect, but Luocheng had used the angle of the ward, this was the highest peak of what knowledge of vision control was!

COMMENT

If it hadn’t been for Yisheng’s quick reaction, both Sivir and Nami would have died here!

This card that he played was indeed brilliant, an average player would never have expected someone to come out from a bush that was warded!

“This trick was something I learnt when I was playing Support Fiddlesticks.” Luocheng told everyone through his mic.

While playing live streams, Luocheng had never hidden his cards. When he could show it, he would try his best to, and he would also give out patient explanations, so for the live stream’s popularity to reach this height, it was not weird at all.

As Luocheng said that, everyone had a sudden realization.

“F*ck, if it was Fiddlesticks that used this trick, there isn’t any way to counter it at all!” A domestic professional player who was wearing a vest typed excitedly.

“Yeah, it would have hit both of them directly, getting a double kill!”

“This blind spot tactic is really something!!”

What was the most important skill a Fiddlesticks needed to master?

That’s right, vision control. They needed to learn the best place to stand with obscured vision from their enemies to make that jump and ulti in.

Last season, Luocheng’s Fiddlesticks Support was brilliant. Luocheng had wanted to use this tactic a few times to jump and ulti in, but the situations had not been favourable. He didn’t expect that he would be able to use it with Galio, but sure enough, there wasn’t enough CC to suppress them!

He had to be thankful that these two Korean idiots had managed to realize his Support Fiddlesticks’ desire. After all, in this season, it was not suitable to use Fiddlesticks as a Support anymore.
