Chapter 8: Sacrifice-Style Top Lane?
Lin Mo went home and bought three control wards, then returned to the top lane's second turret to farm.
Without Letme's interference, his last-hitting ability finally returned to normal; he could last-hit at least four out of six minions in a wave.
[Ding, detected host's aging reaction TP spectating, dropped hand speed fragment: 10%]
[Ding, the host has purchased 3 True Eyes, which is consistent with the behavior of a slacker. 4% of Consciousness Fragments have been lost.]
[Ding, host missed one attack, dropped...]
Lin Mo was a little surprised to hear the system's notification.
He never expected that his accidental TP would bring him a reward...
Without further thought, Lin Mo immediately maxed out Meiko's hand speed and awareness.
Lin Mo used the remaining 4% hand speed fragments and 2% consciousness fragments on himself.
[Ding, Hand Speed Fragment successfully used. Host's current hand speed: 54%]
[Ding, consciousness fragment successfully used. Host's current consciousness level: 52]
Lin Mo: ...
So, by that calculation, my basic hand speed and awareness are both at 50...
It's definitely easier to invest in teammates!
Soon, sixteen minutes of game time had passed.
RNG's disadvantage is widening, and they desperately need a team fight to turn things around.
At this moment, an opportunity arose near Xiaolongkeng.
Letme immediately used Teleport to flank and target Zet in the river!
"I'll gank Varus! If we kill Varus, we can win this wave!" Letme said firmly.
It was unlucky to get killed during that gank in the mid lane, but you can't be unlucky every time, right?
This time, he's going to take the enemy general's head from the midst of a massive army, be a hero to his teammates, and let everyone know that Letme isn't just good at playing tank heroes!
Thinking it over, he landed with TP and waited for Varus to come within range in the bushes before using E-Flash to kick Varus in the face!
Just as Camille flashed away with her E, Tahm Kench, who was originally quite far away, flashed to close the distance and then used his W to swallow Varus whole!
"What the hell is this reaction?" Letme finally couldn't help but swear. "Is Tahm Kench even human?"
The next moment, Lee Sin used his W to sneak over and, together with Orianna, started attacking Camille.
Letme had no choice but to use his ultimate to trap the Lee Sin in front of him, hoping to avoid the damage and wait for his teammates to come and support him.
But by then, Tahm Kench had already vomited Varus out.
Zet immediately switched to hit-and-run mode upon landing.
Basic attack, positioning, dodge Camille's W tactical sweep;
Use basic attacks and positioning to dodge EZ's Q and W skills from a distance;
He used a basic attack and positioning to dodge Camille's W and Ryze's Q, and then used his R to control Spicy Pot's Graves who was trying to come up and deal damage.
Zet's hand speed and focus at this moment were like those of a human machine.
Between each basic attack, he moved to avoid RNG's non-targeted skills!
Letme's Camille didn't even get a chance to touch Varus before being ganged up on and killed!
"RNG Letme is dead!"
"Insane! Insane! Meiko's Tahm Kench reaction is phenomenal! Zet is like a walking A-move monster!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed excitedly. "Camille is like a toy in front of Zet! He's killing Camille while dodging countless skills and even managing to catch Graves!"
"Graves, who was controlled by Varus' ultimate, couldn't escape and was directly ganged up on and killed."
"Seeing the situation was unfavorable, the remaining three RNG players decisively retreated, abandoning their attempt to contest the dragon..."
The RNG voice channel was completely silent.
Uzi's lips twitched slightly as he muttered, "We can't win. This Varus's positioning... is too exaggerated. It's not even on the same level as the previous two games."
Mala Xiangguo scratched his head in frustration: "Wait, can someone tell me, apart from that stone golem, everyone on the other side seems like they've been replaced by different souls?"
"The only one in the entire arena who looks normal."
RNG players tacitly switched their view to the top lane.
Lin Mo's stone golem had just reached level 12, and all he wore was a pitiful Sunfire Cloak and a pair of straw sandals.
He was slowly tapping the minions under the turret with basic attacks, one after another.
Then... because of the presence of the Sunfire, he missed another cannon.
"Um... is the Stone Man really normal...?" Little Tiger asked weakly.
Everyone fell silent again.
…………
"Achoo!"
On the other side, Lin Mo suddenly sneezed.
He rubbed his nose and randomly added all the attributes he had just lost to himself.
……
Soon, 19 minutes of game time had elapsed.
At this moment, RNG's mental defenses completely collapsed.
EDG's four players each displayed their unique skills, showcasing their abilities while bulldozing through RNG's mid-lane second tower and bottom-lane second tower, heading straight for the high ground.
On the RNG side, even though Letme was doing well, after dying three times in a row, he didn't dare to enter the fray again.
Before that, he tried again, using his E skill to pass through the wall, trying to frame Varus.
As a result, the moment he passed the wall, he was bound by Varus's R, and he died before he even had a chance to use R.
Verus's reaction filled him with utter despair.
Besides Letme, Uzi's Ezreal was practically invisible throughout the game, his skills barely touching anyone, and Xiaohu's Ryze wasn't much better.
As for the spicy stir-fry, well, I didn't do anything the entire game...
This has resulted in all five RNG players falling behind in development, and they are hesitant to engage EDG's four players who have already pushed to the mid-lane high ground tower.
"Baron Nashor is about to spawn. Is EDG not going to take Baron Nashor this time?" Rita asked in the commentary booth, looking at the screen with a puzzled expression.
Seeing that EDG showed no sign of retreating, Guan Zeyuan guessed, "Are they planning to end it all in one fell swoop? It's only been twenty minutes!"
Faced with EDG's aggressive approach, RNG's five players could only grit their teeth and defend under the tower.
"Find an opportunity to engage AD, or engage the enemy team. As long as you can kill one, you can defend!" Ming shouted in the voice chat.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked and RNG was preparing to go all out,
A large and bulky figure swayed and walked slowly from the back of the middle lane.
It's Lin Mo's stone man!
He finally joined the group!
Because he hadn't farmed many minions throughout the game, his equipment was pitifully meager, but his arrival instantly put RNG on edge.
"Watch out for the Malphite's ultimate! Flash ready!" Letme yelled.
Although the Stone Golem played like a bot in this game, no one forgot that Mo is also a professional player, and maybe everything before was just a deception.
Lin Mo looked at the five RNG players grouped up under the tower, and then at his four teammates behind him who were ready to attack.
"Guys, I'm going first!"
Lin Mo clicked the mouse and pressed the R key directly—Unstoppable!
boom!
The stone golem charged forward like a cannonball.
Lin Mo's move involved no fancy maneuvers, not even flash; he simply used his ultimate to crash into the RNG crowd.
Logically speaking, this straightforward ultimate ability of the Stone Golem should have been easy for the RNG players, who were on guard, to dodge.
However... the mentality of the RNG players has already changed.
Seeing the brown boulder flying towards them, Xiaohu, Letme, Ming, and Spicy Hot Pot almost simultaneously used their Flash abilities, while Uzi also used his E skill to retreat.
