"Fuck!"
Camille's moves had been fast, fluid, and calculated down to every detail, and Letme couldn't stop himself from cursing again.
The instant his screen went black, he shuddered violently. Then a crushing sense of humiliation washed over him.
Solo killed?
He had been solo killed by this guy?
What gave this guy the right?
His face flushed bright red. Letme forced a smile and said against his better judgment, "This one-trick has some skills. If I don't take him seriously, he really is hard to deal with. And that Ignite is pretty disgusting too. But I didn't lose out this time. I've got TP anyway. Once I teleport back, I won't be at a disadvantage at all. I can still play this lane."
The viewers in Letme's stream had also been startled by Camille's nearly flawless play.
But because of their dislike and anger toward minnaaQAQ, they were only briefly surprised. Soon after, they joined Letme in mocking Camille again.
"Normal. He's a one-trick. If you play one champion ten thousand times and still can't do anything with it, are you even human?"
"A one-trick with Ignite. Nothing worth praising."
"Anyone with eyes can tell Junze was playing this lane casually. He gave that dumbass Camille an opening."
"Get serious, Junze. Kill him!"
"If Letme had brought Ignite too, that Camille would've been dead already. How would he have gotten the chance to act cocky?"
"Ignite dog, lmao! /sweating-smile"
Letme secretly glanced at the chat and found that everyone was still supporting him and mocking Camille. He felt slightly relieved.
After teleporting back to lane, Letme quietly took a breath and sneered to himself, I really have to get serious now, or this dumb dog is actually going to start showing off.
But he had already teleported back. Why hadn't Camille left? Why was she still boldly farming minions under his turret?
"Addicted to showing off, are you?"
Rage surged through Letme, and his face turned red again. But just as he finally landed from Teleport, Rek'Sai tunneled in from behind.
The moment he landed, Camille hit him with an auto attack and Q. Then Camille decisively Hookshot out of turret range. Rek'Sai Burrowed up, knocking him airborne and taking over the turret's aggro, following with a Q-auto combo.
By the time he landed, Camille, who had Hookshotted out of turret range, had already come flying back with the second cast. Tactical Sweep's inner edge struck him, and the next moment, he was knocked airborne again, stunned by a kick. Camille lifted her long leg high and struck with a second kick, dealing true damage.
Using that chain of crowd control, Rek'Sai easily landed three empowered autos after Q. Then came an E, a Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Claw—at 100 Fury, the damage exploded, biting him to death outright.
Dying again, Letme had not even moved after teleporting down. He froze for a moment before the overwhelming humiliation in his heart completely erupted.
This time was different from the last. Last time, he had been solo killed under his own turret. Even if he was furious from embarrassment, he could only swallow it. This time, though, he had been ganked by the jungler.
"What the fuck is this? You only know how to call your jungler, huh? It's bad enough that this one-trick Camille brought Ignite, but he's also constantly calling his jungler up to gank. Fucking disgusting!"
"Our jungler is a dumbass too. Top lane has fought so many times, and he hasn't come once. Farm, farm, farm—he only fucking knows how to farm! Can farming win the game? Does he even know how to play? And helping bottom lane? What's the point of helping bottom lane?"
"Wait, could this jungler be an actor hired by the enemy? Didn't Li Yuanhao say there were actors on their team last game?"
Letme was furious. First he cursed Camille, then Rek'Sai, and finally his own jungler.
He had no choice. He had sounded so confident at the start, practically pronouncing the enemy top laner dead, only to get slapped in the face again and again.
If he did not put on this act to hide his guilty conscience and fragile bravado, he would only look even more embarrassing.
Besides, after dying twice in a row, his meager self-esteem had truly been hurt. His rage from embarrassment was genuine.
His stream had over a million viewers. At that moment, without exception, they all sympathized with Letme, cursing Camille and Rek'Sai, calling Sejuani an actor. Some even started shouting in the chat that they wanted to report those actors again.
But in-game, an extremely awkward fact was that after Letme died this time and returned to lane, Camille intercepted him between the first and second turrets!
Camille was already level five, and Ignite was about to come off cooldown. As a result, Letme did not dare keep walking forward no matter what. He could only stand there awkwardly, watching Camille guard the path like a door god and refusing to let him gain even a sliver of experience.
Letme became even more furious from embarrassment. He almost wanted to end the stream and quit the game right away so he would not continue humiliating himself.
Unable to save face, he forced himself to bring up the jungler and Ignite again. "Ignite top laner, jungler ganking endlessly... This game is really no fun..."
"Mid, can you come? Why haven't you said anything this whole time?" After desperately making excuses, Letme turned to Xiaohu for help.
He was only level two now, a full three levels below Camille. If no one came to save him, he was basically done for.
Sejuani was signaling as he headed toward top lane, but he had just ganked bottom lane and was recalling with barely any health. It would take him a long time to get there.
Once Letme mentioned it, many people suddenly remembered—right, Xiaohu was the mid laner this game, RNG's mid laner! Why had he suddenly gone silent?
Many viewers flocked to Xiaohu's stream to see what was going on over there.
They got a shock the moment they looked.
It was almost six minutes in, yet Xiaohu had only fifteen CS. He was down a full twenty CS to the enemy Ryze!
The funniest part was that Xiaohu had level-one Boots of Speed and a Rejuvenation Potion. From those small components alone, it was obvious that he had recalled several times. No one could say exactly how many, but it had to have been at least two recalls.
He was getting utterly crushed by Ryze!
On stream, Xiaohu's face in the webcam was flushed crimson. He was embarrassed and furious for the same reason, and that was also the main reason he had suddenly fallen silent.
Just last game, in the fair-play chat box, he had suspected the other guy of being an actor and asked for his position. When the guy did not respond, Xiaohu had mocked him sarcastically, while his two bootlicking fans had cursed the guy out.
And now, the tables had completely turned. In a real one-on-one lane, he was being crushed so hard that he could not even lift his head!
An overwhelming sense of humiliation filled his heart. Though it was not quite the same as Letme's humiliation from being solo killed, it was just as intense.
Before the silent Xiaohu could offer any excuse, a single word suddenly appeared in all chat.
MinnaaQAQ: "BUG?"
