Undefeatable – League of Legends Vol 1 Chapter 6

Book 1: The Return of the Lost King

Chapter 6: You Don’t Play ADC Like This

……
 

Yu Luocheng mainly plays ranked matches and hadn’t played this kind of game for some time. So LoL at level 20 something was having a line up of 212.

“Yu Luocheng, you’re only level 13 and don’t have any runes so play dirtier for bot.” Wang Qin said.

“Yeah, they almost have all of their runes.”

Ha, so you guys did know about runes, thank goodness.

Yu Luocheng was really afraid that when he reminded them to get corresponding runes and masteries ready, they would looked at him suspiciously and ask ‘What’s a rune?’

“Alright, everyone play seriously!” Wang Qin cheered everyone on, like a team captain.

At this moment, the selection screen started to count down and gradually switched to a loading screen.

Yu Luocheng took a look at Wang Qin and found that he was quite nervous and serious.

With a thousand RMB on the line and, more importantly, this was a rare chance to show off in front of Yang Qian Qian, it’s quite normal for him to be nervous.

Zhao Kesong also looked quite grim; he’s always been the timid one.

Cao Sheng didn’t talk much and was focusing on the screen.

Yu Luocheng was more scatter-minded. He casually glanced to the side and happened to see Yang Qian Qian’s straight, white legs.

Yang Qian Qian discovered that Yu Luchang was peeking at her and stared at him.

“So mean, a look won’t cost you anything! But, those legs are really sexy, I wonder how it must feel to touch them.” Yu Luocheng murmured in voice only he could hear.

……

On the other side, Lin Xu crossed both hands under his chin and kept smiling.

“Heh, heh, they for sure don’t know that you’ve practiced with a master and your skill is more than a level 29. There’s probably no problem for you to deal with a level 30 or even a level 40, right?” A paled face student next to Lin Xu whispered.

“Idiot, the level cap is 30 in League of Legends.” Lin Xu lightly scolded with a laugh.

“Oh, oh, then there’s no more level above 30?” Asked the paled face student.

“That’s when you start playing ranked matches.” Lin Xu answered.

“Ranked matches? How do you play that?” Others were all curious since none of them had played ranked.

TL: Scrubs, the whole lot of them.

“There are lots of strong players playing ranked and they play rather formal. Any one of the players who have played rank will smash us easily…...anyway, you noobs can’t compete with those ranked players.”

“The master I met at Long Sheng internet cafe plays lot of ranked matches.” Lin Xu said.

No one had played ranked matches and, after hearing all the talk about it, they all started to envy Lin Xu.

“Next time I will let master lead you in a game so you’ll know who’s a real top player. En, it’s starting. Make sure you play tough, if you guys play well, I’ll treat you all to a feast of midnight snacks.” Lin Xu said.

“Alright, Lin Ge[1] said we’ll have a feast.”

Everyone from room 3 got stirred up. They all knew Lin Xu was from a rich family and everyone circled around him. Besides, it’s a great satisfaction to be able to crush their old rivals from room 8. Who gave them the idea to try and bite off more than they could chew?

“Welcome to League of Legends!”

The familiar computer generated female voice came out. Though the voice was very pleasing to the ears, one can sense that the voice sounded very dignified, solemn, and old-fashioned.

Yu Luocheng had chosen the robot. He knew, at this level, they didn’t have any concept of team fighting, so he had brought his robot Blitzcrank to his lane from the start.

“You two solo top watch out, wait till the minion line’s passed you then go into bushes. Watch out for ambush.” Wang Qin reminded Zhao Kesong and Cao Sheng.

“Uhm, uhm.” Both nodded.

You two solo top……

Somehow, that line sounded quite awkward?

Noobs have a bad habit, that is they will run into the bushes without waiting for their minions to get to their lane. The purpose is to ambush enemies. There’s another very cheap reason, that they are curious whether there are enemies hiding in there.

Yu Luocheng’s robot Blitzcrank stood under the turret and he purposely switched his view to top.

Cao Sheng’s Yi and Zhao Kesong’s Garen didn’t stay in the safe zone under turret, instead they were hanging around the bushes. If there were five people hiding in there, then these two would be dragged in and smashed to bits.

No one on the room 3 side had smite either and they had the same 212 lineup.

Since there’s no jungle, Yu Luocheng as a support just brought one ward. He figured that there shouldn’t be many early roamers in this kind of game, it would be a waste of money to bring more wards.

Yu Luocheng controlled his robot Blitzcrank to stand at the edge of first bush. The first spell he added was his Q ability, ‘Rocket Grab’.

Zhong Xiaoyun’s Miss Fortune the Bounty Hunter stood right behind him.

At this moment, the line of minions were coming over.

Melee minions from both sides began exchanging blows while ranger minions, waving a thing looked like a skirt or a cape, slowly came over and started to throw magic at each other.

Very soon both sides’ melee minions were losing health. At this time, a man wearing black and red clothing and carrying a long gun darted out from the bush across and killed minion as it was passing by.

Yet Miss Fortune of his own side still calmly stood behind Yu Luocheng’s Blitzcrank. It was like she was having a tantrum, refusing to move despite anything that happened around her!

“What are you doing? CS[2].” Yu Luocheng said to Zhong Xiaoyun.

“Aren’t you going to grab somebody? I’m waiting for you to grab.” Zhong Xiaoyun said.

“......” Yu Luocheng watched with tears in his eyes as the melee minions in the lane--- --- they got killed but Zhong Xiaoyun still wouldn’t kill any minions.

An ADC who won’t try to increase his CS?

With a teammate like this, how could anyone win?

TL: This is when you decide to try and carry the team as Blitzcrank.

Miss Fortune finally came out of the bush, with a twisting tiny waist and curvy hips, stretching the two guns in her hands and shot her first shot!

“Hah!” Miss Fortune shouted, the bullet hit the first minion then jumped to hit another with perfect accuracy……

Then, it didn’t kill any one of them.

The wave of minions was quickly cleared away. Yu Luocheng pushed down the tab key and saw, speechlessly, Miss Fortune’s CS was a measly “1”. He felt as if a million curse words had just crossed his mind.

Was this the so called random CS?

Brother, you do not play bot ADC[3] this way!

……

“Heh, heh. Last week boss told me to wait for the minion’s health to drop then make the hit so I can collect money more precisely. I haven’t expected it to be so useful; I’ve already collected 7 this wave and the Miss Fortune of the other side only has one.” Feng Xiaoqing of room 3 said with his crackling voice.

No one knew about Feng Xiaoqing before, but since he started playing LoL, those noobs below level 20 in the class all surrounded him. It was gratifying for his vanity.

Today, he had declared to his classmates that this time when he played ADC, he would take more than 20 heads from the opposite side!

Feng Xiaoqing’s champion was Graves, nicknamed “Gun Man”. His skill was actually much better than Zhong Xiaoyun; he knew how to deplete Miss Fortune’s health while still racking up his CS.

Miss Fortune used up the three health bottles she carried with her at about level 3.

Yu Luocheng was still hiding in bush. He knew that there was another guy hiding in the bush across from him; it was the rough skinned Demacia, Garen.

Yu Luocheng could grab him over easily. But if you grabbed Garen over, Garen would thank you then use a big, silent sword on you and that sexy, little Miss Fortune.

TL: Pro-tips right here.  If you’re Blitzcrank, please don’t grab the enemy so that he can kill you and your carry.  Please.

……

“Hrm? Graves just burned his dash.” Yu Luocheng’s eyes lit up and grasped the opportunity.

“Very well, you’re dead meat!”

[1]:  It’s the same Lin Xu, but basically all of his “friends” call him Lin Ge (the Ge here is the character 哥 that is used for older brother).  Used as term of respect, though in this case it’s more that all of his followers respect his money rather than the person.

[2]: CS is short for “Creep Score” a term first used in DotA where the minions were called “creeps.”  When a champion kills a minion, they obtain money.  Thus the carry, the person whose role is to murder the enemy and “carry” the team to victory, usually has to concentrate on farming minions for gold to buy better weapons.

[3]:  ADC means “Attack Damage Carry.”  League of Legends basically breaks damage into two kinds: physical and magic.  Attack Damage (AD) deals physical damage and Ability Power (AP) allows a character to deal magic damage.  Some champions have abilities to increase in power with more AD and others with more AP, there are also hybrid champions who increase in power from both AD and AP.  Anyhow, this means that the carry buys weapons that increase their AD to deal more damage.
