Chapter 481: The Art Of Deception!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In a normal game, after getting a kill, it would normally mean that you had just gotten four hundred gold. This made the kill seem slightly insignificant.

You had to remember that in League of Legends, the reason you aim for a kill was not just for that measly four hundred gold. The main reason was to do something else that was more important especially with the enemy currently dead and not being able to stop you, like killing the Dragon in the bottom lane!

In fact, most of the League of Legends players had to change their mindset. The main objectives for the game was to get the towers as well as the Dragon. The dragon should be killed as soon as it spawned on the third minute. The more people on it, the better.

At the same time, the towers standing there were just basically begging to be destroyed. Too bad that most of the time, there was always an enemy champion there defending it. Killing the enemy champion was basically just a stepping stone to do something greater, how could you just run away and go back to your base!?

If you got a kill in the bottom lane, you had to take the Dragon!

If you got a kill in the mid lane, push the tower if possible!

If you got a kill in the top lane, immediately push the minion wave to prevent the enemy from gaining any experience!

Of course, all of these did not apply when you killed the enemy but had dangerously low health and there were no teammates near you!

***

Team Skycrown had always made killing the Dragon and pushing the tower their top priorities. After getting first blood, the Mid, Jungler, and both of the bottom laners went to the Dragon to meet up.

With one less champion, the enemy would definitely be scared to go in recklessly. After taking down the Dragon, the advantage of gold was not just a measly four hundred and two hundred more gold, it was for the whole team too!

Tinghua did not relent. He knew that the majority of Team Skycrown were trying to take down the Dragon, which was why he felt that it was safe to appear in the top lane. He used the fact that Vulcan’s Renekton had pushed the minions to the enemy tower to try and force out a kill.

Renekton had his Ignite ready. Once Mundo reached Level 6, he would be extremely hard to kill as he would be very tanky, but with an Ignite, Mundo would be unable to heal himself properly!

Vulcan and Tinghua’s teamwork was impeccable. Renekton started off by pouncing toward Mindo and using some skills, subsequently Igniting him. He only retreated after taking some tower damage for Tinghua’s Wukong. Tinghua’s Wukong walked right up and used his Q-skill to reduce Da Luo’s armor for three seconds. As soon as Da Luo got out of his attack range, Tinghua used his E-skill to close the distance, and after a few basic attacks, Mundo was killed!

After killing him, Tinghua did not leave. Instead, he cleared the minion wave that was coming in from behind the turret...

With this, Da Luo would lose two minion waves of experience. After getting back into the lane, he would be unable to fight against Renekton which had a higher level than him!

Tinghua was very experienced and he knew that pushing the top lane tower early would not have much benefit. That was why he left the tower intact, letting Da Luo lose more experience!

These types of situations were hard to prevent. That was, unless Da Luo could guess that Wukong was already on his way and had run away before the latter could reach.

“Da Luo, is everything okay over there?” Zhou Yan looked at the level of Da Luo’s Dr. Mundo and asked softly.

This gank had made Da Luo lose a lot of experience. This probably meant that he would get crushed by Renekton easily later.

“Come and help me gank. I think this guy might want to battle it out.” Da Luo pouted.

Normally when playing ranked matches, have you not gotten tower-dived before?

The Jungler did not need to go to many places, he just needed to gank the top lane. If ganking once was not enough and only one type of gank was not enough, there were always many types of positioning that he could try.

At this time, most players that had no patience would ask the enemy team in the all-chat: “Do you have nothing else better to do than to ambush me, you b*tch!”

Luckily, Da Luo was used to getting ganked. Once he saw that Tinghua had left the tower intact, this basically meant that he would be back again!

There were many times that the tower was not a safe haven and instead, it might even be a prison.

“Okay.” Zhou Yan nodded. In this situation, he had to protect Da Luo’s farm. If he doesn’t, when the enemy’s top lane snowballs, they would lose this game easily!

***

Da Luo could only try his best to get some last hits. Very quickly, Renekton had pushed a lot of minions to the tower.

Vulcan felt great about the game right now. Today, he had played Renekton well, managing to pressure Da Luo and he also had twenty more last hits, even being a level higher than him!

After seeing Tinghua who was not too far from him, it was clear that Tinghua was on his way to him.

If you were a Jungler, it would be best to grab one lane and control it well. Never assume that ganking once successfully would mean that your teammate could destroy the bottom lane.

In fact, after killing the enemy, it basically meant that the enemy had used all their skills including their Flash. With the gap of levels and items, this meant that there was a high chance that you could gank again and almost certainly succeed!

Tinghua came in to gank from the back.

It was the same old tactic, allowing Renekton to tank the tower damage so that Tinghua can get in closer for the kill. With their current damage, they would still be able to kill Mundo even if he used his Ultimate!

Da Luo was surrounded and pinned down at the tower. Even with his trusty knife in his hand, he did not know who to throw it at.

As he saw that Renekton had used his ultimate and was walking toward him, Da Luo made a swift decision to go for Renekton. He allowed Renekton’s Ultimate to deal damage to himself so that the tower would attack Renekton.

Throwing a knife toward Renekton’s face, Da Luo attacked Renekton relentlessly!

“I’m on my way!” Zhou Yan shouted.

Lee Sin was actually a really great anti-ambush champion. It didn’t matter where he was, he would be able to jump to Da Luo with his ulti in a second!

Whoosh!

Tinghua did not stop and he used his E-skill, Q-skill and then his Ultimate in quick succession!

Zhou Yan reacted rather quickly, having already been prepared. When Tinghua used his Ultimate, he immediately kicked Tinghua in the face!

With this kick, all hopes of Tinghua killing Da Luo was shattered!

A fantastic sonic wave. It bounced off Renekton, who was taking damage from the tower, and hit Tinghua!

Da Luo and Zhou Yan had a clear aim. They had to kill the enemy Renekton. With Renekton’s current low health, it was time for them to give chase!

Vulcan hastily pressed his Flash and prayed for himself to get out of that situation safely with his last tiny bit of health.

Zhou Yan did not stop chasing. Once his skill cooldown time was up, he used his skills to catch up to Renekton as he just needed one more skill to take Renekton’s life. Suddenly, a round shield suddenly appeared on Renekton!

“F*CK!” Zhou Yan could not help but curse.

It was extremely close. The timing of Orianna’s arrival was uncanny, and with her shield, Renekton was saved!

Zhou Yan was not satisfied. He had been waiting for his Q-skill to get off its cooldown. If he could kick Renekton even once, the latter was as good as dead.

At the same time, Tinghua had used his Flash to kill Da Luo who had low health and took off with around half of his health left!

Zhou Yan did not know what to do. If they didn’t kill Renekton, they would be drawing the short end of the stick.

“Wu Sen, surround them!”

Suddenly, Luocheng spoke up.

Although Wu Sen’s support was slower than Orianna, it didn’t matter anymore. This was because Luocheng, the fastest Support in the whole LPL, had arrived!

Of course, no one knew what a Support from the bottom lane was doing in the top lane!

Tinghua ran from Team Skycrown’s jungle. Wu Sen’s Lulu could definitely cut him off. To prevent him from going through the tower, Luocheng’s LeBlanc had arrived at the tower and they started to surround Tinghua!

Once Tinghua saw Luocheng’s LeBlanc, he was not scared, casting his Q-skill on Luocheng!

It had to be said, but LeBlanc was just too squishy. After Wukong’s E-skill that was followed by a basic attack and his Q-skill, LeBlanc had already lost half her health...

Luocheng did not immediately use his skills because Tinghua’s Wukong had not moved!

It was obvious that this was a clone!

Luocheng walked ahead and thought that Tinghua would use his real body to run back into the bush. By doing so, he could effectively shake off Luocheng.

Upon walking into the bush, he clicked on Wukong.

After one and a half seconds, Luocheng noticed that Tinghua’s clone was still standing there!

It was clear to him that this b*stard had faked him out!

This was Wukong’s S deception!

What was Wukong’s S deception?

When Wukong used his W-skill to leave a clone of himself, the real body would enter an invisible state. Upon doing so, the clone would stay in place, and one and a half seconds later, it would disappear.

After many people had learned about how Wukong’s ability worked, the player would cancel the animation with the S key. Then, the real Wukong would stand in place to give the enemy illusions that he was just a clone. When the enemy had been deceived and ran toward one direction, he would run in the other direction!

Luckily, Luocheng held his hand. He clicked on Tinghua’s Wukong to lock on when it stood there and stopped moving. If it was a clone, this lock on would disappear after one and a half seconds, but if it was the real one, it would stay locked on!

Without a word, after knowing that it was his real body, Luocheng turned back and attacked him with basic attacks!

Never throw out your skills if you knew that the enemy was pretending to clone himself. With Tinghua’s skill, he could definitely use his Q-skill to dodge all of the skills that Luocheng dished out.

Since he was pretending, he had to stay there and not move. That was why attacking with basic attacks would be enough. Also, Wu Sen’s Lulu was on her way!

Luocheng’s calmness made Tinghua uneasy, and he hastily walked toward Luocheng.

With that, Luocheng used his QEW-combo on Tinghua!

Too bad, the one which got the Ethereal Chains on him was a clone and so, not much damage was dealt.

Tinghua used the fact that he was invisible to duck into the bush. At this moment, Wu Sen’s Lulu had arrived and Tinghua had to give up on the original path of escape. After waiting for his E-skill to get ready, he used most of his skills on LeBlanc!

The damage was extremely high as it made Luocheng’s LeBlanc start to play passively!

It was clear to everyone that Tinghua was trying to trade with Luocheng.

“Now, it is time for you to guess my real body!” Luocheng scolded him.

LeBlanc’s passive was also to make an illusion. If Tinghua wanted to trade kills, he also had to find the real body!

Playing with the art of deception?

Let’s see who can do it better!
