Chapter 386: It’s Been So Long Since We’ve Had The Advantage!

Manager Duo Duo couldn’t believe his eyes either, this Support must have been on steroids today! Compared to his previous trolling and feeding, he was fighting like a God right from the gate. The Q-skill that knocked up both enemy champions was just an example of the high skill he was showing, and most people would easily miss that ability.

After that wave of shock toward the defending team’s Support, another unbelievable scene was displayed on the screen.

Bing Bing and Scorch hadn’t gone back. Instead, they had hidden under their tower, waiting for their health to regenerate, not for one second thinking that the opposing team would dive them!

And yet, they painfully underestimated the aggressiveness of Luocheng when he was playing Alistar. As Scorch moved up to CS, Luocheng Flashed right into the tower range, once again knocking up both Leona and Draven with the edge of his Q-skill’s range of 365 units!

Luocheng’s Flash Q-combo was quicker than lightning, and even Lin Dong struggled to keep up, quickly throwing out a Boomerang Blade.

But it wasn’t enough, they wouldn’t be able to kill Draven like this, if only they could stun him for one more second to allow Sivir to throw out one more auto attack!

Every member of the audience in the club was suddenly tense, this Flash Q-combo under the tower was too reckless. Alistar wouldn’t be able to circle behind Draven to knock him out, an Alistar like that would surely be CC’d by Leona and he would die without a doubt. Trading kills like this was pointless.

But the people quickly realized that Alistar never had the intention of knocking Draven out. Instead, he walked below Draven, and with a single shove, Draven was knocked up toward the wall above Blue Side’s bottom lane tower!

“Beautiful!” Lin Dong was ecstatic, rushing forward to auto attack the Draven who was pinned to the wall, chasing him under the turret, and by doing so, Lin Dong easily picked up the kill!

First Blood!

“Holy sh*t!”

“You can do that!?” Feng Da and his Support, Fei, were amazed!

The angle at which Alistar Headbutted had surprised and wow-ed everyone who had witnessed it. The original Flash Q-combo would have only caused a 1.5 second knock up, but because the ADC had been too far away, it would have been impossible to kill Draven. If Alistar had just cast his W-skill straight away, it could have saved the Draven instead, knocking him into the safety of his tower. Circling behind Draven was out of the question as he would be giving the enemy a free kill. Level 3 champions couldn’t tank that many tower shots after all.

Just when everyone had thought that the Flash Q-combo was a waste, Alistar had done something completely unexpected, knocking the Draven into the unremarkable shoulder of the wall, a place that was just far away enough to allow Sivir to be able to attack without getting within range of the turret!

Extending the crowd control duration while also not accidentally knocking the enemy further away, Alistar’s corner Headbutt caused the live audience to stare in awe, leaving the almost two hundred thousand viewers at home at the edge of their seats.

Alistar knocking an enemy straight into a wall and then knocking them up with a Q-skill was the standard procedure, but throwing out a Q-skill first and following up with the most glorious play, who knew you could knock an enemy into a wall that far away...

It was just like getting bored with the censored videos within the country, but suddenly stumbling upon a position you had never seen before! A different angle of attack, the same control and stamina, it was bound to get your heart pumping!

“Something is wrong here, is this really that troll Support?” Feng Da and Fei gave each other the same confused look.

It wasn’t as though Feng Da and Fei had never seen how bad the defending team’s Support was. Team Sunlight’s bottom lane duo should have had a clear lead, there was no way they could have let their opponents get First Blood at level 3!

“Is it because the match is being streamed? I’ve heard that as soon as the game goes live, they will enter a hyper-focus mode. Maybe we should try streaming a game someday too,” Fei mused.

Feng Da and Fei weren’t the only ones scratching their heads, everyone else in Demacia Cafe was also in a state of shock!

From what they had just seen, the Alistar should’ve been praised as long as he didn’t W an enemy away just as they were about to be killed, so how had he pulled off such a God-like move!? Did they change players?

That couldn’t be, it was the same bespectacled guy-slash-troll who was playing!

“Coincidence, it must’ve been a coincidence,” Duo Duo thought to himself.

Even after two months, Duo Duo still didn’t know what Luocheng was really like. People sometimes made accidental plays in the bottom lane, and after throwing the game for his entire life, he deserved a small moment to shine even if he didn’t do it on purpose.

After pushing the minion wave in, Luocheng and Lin Dong were both level 4. They backed away to recall with their pockets full of gold and left the Leona to soak up the experience alone.

Lin Dong retreated into the bush and as Luocheng took a look at the mid lane’s minion wave, he gave up the idea of recalling. Instead, he walked through the river and tribush, past the Dragon’s outcove and the enemy’s Red buff, making his way to the mid lane!

Bing Bing had thought that Alistar and the enemy ADC had already recalled, promptly doing so himself after clearing out the minion wave, but he didn’t know that Luocheng’s Alistar was already at their mid lane’s Wraith Camp!

It was 5 minutes into the game and the 180-second wards that Team Sunlight had placed were all basically gone, and since the two Junglers had faced off around the top lane not too long ago, the enemy Ahri had resolved to stay close to the bottom of the lane. That way, she wouldn’t be easily ganked by the opposing Jungler.

“I’m going in,” Luocheng told Wu Sen suddenly.

As soon as he said those words, Alistar materialized behind Ahri, pushing the clueless fox into their minions with a Headbutt!

Team Sunlight’s Mid, Nimbus, hadn’t been able to react before he was chain-stunned by Wu Sen’s Syndra’s E-skill!

Alistar walked up, following up with a knock up from his Q-skill, and Ahri couldn’t even Flash, staying CC-ed before finally dying!

“F*ck!” Nimbus, Team Sunlight’s Mid, had been scared half to death!

Their opponent Jungler had already given mid lane a terrifying gank, so Nimbus had already been on high alert, only letting his guard down when he saw the enemy Jungler appear on the map.

But why the f*ck was this b*stard Support Alistar coming in from behind him!

In the even earlier days of Season 2, an Alistar jungle had amazing lane presence, being able to easily gank with his W-skill. All his laners had to do was throw out a random CC skill and Alistar could follow up with his Q-skill, having a Flash wouldn’t even matter!

Luocheng’s Support Alistar did a perfect reenactment of Season 2’s Alistar ganks, and Team Sunlight’s Ahri did not know how to react.

You could have the best map awareness in the world, but could you f*cking defend yourself against a level 4 Support who decided to roam their way to mid?

The Jungler, Zhou Yan, looked at the two assists Luocheng already had with resentment, pouting his lips slightly.

This was what competitions with Luocheng were like. Sometimes, Zhou Yan felt as though Luocheng was the real Jungler, because if you weren’t, why the heck were you roaming more than me!

Another thing that annoyed Zhou Yan to no end was that since a lot of high skill-level players were very cautious of Junglers and the abundant cases of counter-ganking, Zhou Yan really couldn’t get any openings to gank the lanes. But because no one expected Supports like Luocheng, ganking came easy, and his calls to gank had a 1000% success rate.

Both kills in the game were because of Luocheng’s Alistar, or rather, because he had created the perfect scenarios for his teammates to go in for the kill!

Jaws were hitting the floor of Demacia Cafe.

A player that knew how to roam and gank with such impeccable timing, was this still the troll Support they all knew?

They must have been hallucinating! Their defending team’s Support wasn’t this good.

***

With the gank being a success, Luocheng recalled on the spot to buy his items.

Upon returning to the fountain, Luocheng decided to buy Boots early to aid in his future roams and used his remaining gold to buy a few Wards.

A Support Alistar didn’t need a lot of items. He could completely shut down the Leona with just a level advantage, not to mention, the experience from 2 kills gave him a huge lead in levels over the enemy ADC and Support.

Luocheng bought his Boots, Wards, and Potions, subconsciously pressing the Tab key to check on his teammates and found 5 Red Potions sitting in Lin Dong’s inventory.

Luocheng controlled Alistar back to the lane, asking, “Why did you buy so many health pots? I have heals.”

The CS-ing Lin Dong stopped in his tracks, replying suddenly in frustration, “F*ck, I got so used to playing at a disadvantage that I just bought that many without thinking! I’m not used to starting out a game so smoothly.”

“...” Luocheng was speechless.

Lin Dong was frustrated as well. When he played with Xiao Ya, he had to keep in mind that he was in a 1 vs 3 lane, so he always came back to the lane with a stack of Health Potions. As long as he still had potions, he could stay in the lane longer to keep up in experience and gold, even if Xiao Ya was feeding her head off, he’d still be able to heal up with his endless supply of potions while continuing to CS. He could make a comeback in the late game once he had gotten a few kills anyway.

Suddenly with Luocheng as a Support, they had a clear lead, and with Alistar’s innate healing, all he really needed was one potion just in case. However, the muscle memory was still in him, and that was a hundred over gold down the drain!

Potions? With Luocheng’s aggressiveness, a fight would always end in the death of either them or their enemies, there wasn’t time for potions!

***

Both Lin Dong’s Summoner Spells were up and Luocheng still had his Exhaust. All their enemies had was Leona’s Flash.

Once he had warded back in their lane, Luocheng’s Alistar was done playing nice.

Using the extra Movement Speed from his Boots, Luocheng once again walked right up to Bing Bing’s Leona.

Bing Bing was stuck between a rock and a hard place, should he use Leona’s abilities on the Alistar right in front of them or should he save them for the ADC!

All he knew was that they absolutely could not fight in lane, Bing Bing was aware that Luocheng still had his crucial Exhaust up and Sivir still had her Shield, starting a fight now would be giving them two more free kills.

And what if Leona engaged against an Alistar?

That was a surefire road to death. Leona could use her E-skill to go forward, but Alistar could Pulverize her on the spot and then knock her back into the minions. The short-ranged Leona would only be able to sit there and take it as her two enemies laid waste to her.

The Champion that didn’t fear the wrath of Blitzcrank or Leona? The Minotaur, Alistar!
