Wedding Turns into Funeral
"Wait for us, wait for us! We're on our way here on horseback!"
"Erkang!"
"Ziwei!"
Wantonly and Sun gazed at each other tenderly, one calling and the other answering.
Clear's lips twitched. "Did you take your medicine today? Just stay away, don't infect me with your madness."
Even Shi Mu, focused as he was, couldn't help smiling. "Could the newlyweds please hurry to the wedding venue?"
Upon entering Hidden Void's illusion, enemy heroes' damage was reduced by thirty percent, Hidden Void's skills were refreshed, and his second skill automatically locked onto the enemy when cast. The illusion was therefore Hidden Void's slaughterhouse.
He Zhen's economy was already suppressed, so he couldn't deal much damage to begin with, much less now that his damage had been reduced. He didn't last long against Hidden Void before falling.
Mou was kiting two opponents at once, and his health didn't look promising. Wantonly quickly rushed behind Shi Mu to restore him.
Sun used Flash, followed by a leap from his ultimate, to reach the left side of the battlefield. His skill landed squarely on Hidden Void. Lion had just emerged from the illusion and had no time to escape; his health rapidly dropped to a critical level.
"Ahhhh, quick, quick, save, save, save me!"
"Coming, coming! Watch your daddy give you a god-tier shield."
Heart steered Yamei into skill range and pressed his ultimate, transforming into a deer spirit and placing a shield on Lion.
"Aren't you going to kowtow to your daddy for that?"
"Get lost."
Sun tilted his head, his eyes brimming with excitement. Did you think you could get away just like that?
He predicted Lion's movement and cast his first skill ahead of time, knocking Yamei off. He pressed his second skill to break Yamei's crowd control, then sped up and pursued Hidden Void. With the boost from Sun Chaser, he finished Hidden Void off with basic attacks.
Mages and marksmen were both relatively squishy. Without a support or any skills, they weren't much tougher than the minor jungle monsters, much less Hidden Void, who had built full magic and was unwilling to buy a single defensive item.
[Wu Hu: This team fight is crucial. It'll decide which side can hold onto their middle tower. Once that tower goes down, the jungle basically won't remain safe and sound.]
[Qingqing: Sun has just picked Lion off. Sun played that very decisively, flashing in and following up with his ultimate in one smooth move to take Lion down.]
[Wu Hu: That's right. GOD has always had a bold, aggressive style. Both sides have now lost one player, making it a 4v4. Judging by their positions, though, it feels like GOD is at a disadvantage.]
The dragon triggered Heart's passive. He stayed in deer form and dashed over to Ji Chengyan, then transformed back into human form. His ultimate refreshed, and he attached himself to Ji Chengyan.
Ji Chengyan activated his ultimate and Frenzy, bearing straight down on Clear. Wantonly's crowd-control skill darted through everyone and caught Ji Chengyan.
But the ultimate wasn't interrupted. Clear had no time to worry about Ji Chengyan. He had two bars of health left and had to bring the enemy jungler and top laner to low health before he died.
Shi Mu and Qianhe pressed Smite at the same time, but Shi Mu timed his more precisely and secured the dragon.
"Retreat, we can't keep fighting."
Getting the dragon was enough. If they kept fighting, they wouldn't have the advantage.
He pressed his second skill, spinning his scepter in his hand before swinging it at Yet. With the lifesteal and true damage, Yet had no chance to escape and fell in the dragon pit.
Yet sighed and flexed his hand. "Mou really is an overtuned hero."
Qianhe howled, "Nerf him, nerf him! Fighting him is miserable, I want to kill him so badly!"
"Look at you, wanting to kill Brother Mu."
Clear took all of Ji Chengyan's damage, then did his best to give his sleeves one last wave before falling gracefully to the ground. Wantonly was slowed and held in place by Ji Chengyan as well, and died for love alongside Clear.
Shi Mu teased, "The wedding turned into a funeral."
Clear sighed. "Marriage is the grave of love. Your darling left you behind and ran off~"
"Brother Mu, you heartless man! Who was risking his life to heal you just now? Who was trying his best to tank damage for you?"
"The bride."
Wantonly: ...
Sun: ~
They had traded two for three. Although they had secured the dragon, their middle tower had been pushed down, so they had still come out behind.
He Zhen felt a little down. If Jin had been in that team fight just now, she definitely wouldn't have died, and they wouldn't have lost the fight.
He was still far behind Jin.
After he respawned, the top-lane minion wave had already reached the tower. He quickly cleared it. The enemy jungler was in the lower jungle, and Lion hadn't shown on the map, so he felt a little uneasy. After clearing the wave, he headed toward mid through his own jungle.
Little did he know that three members of YH had already been waiting for him there.
As soon as He Zhen approached the brush by the buff camp, Lion immediately fired off his first and second skills. Yet used only his first skill; he didn't need to spend too many skills on He Zhen, because Hidden Void would take him into the illusion. Yet was saving his skills for the other GOD members who came to help.
He Zhen realized someone was lying in wait in the brush and immediately pressed his movement skill to retreat, but Lion gave him no chance. He flashed forward and locked him firmly in his ultimate.
Shi Mu finished clearing the red jungle and headed upward. The blue buff was about to respawn, and he had to get back and keep the enemy from stealing it.
"Watch out for Ji Chengyan. He disappeared from vision three seconds ago."
The spectators watched the blue and red icons on the minimap gradually converge, their hearts rising into their throats before they knew it. Another team fight was about to break out.
"GOD's substitute top laner is way too bad, isn't he? It feels like he keeps getting picked off."
"Of course a substitute can't compare to a starter. If Jin hadn't been suspended, he wouldn't even have had a chance to play."
"I wouldn't say he's bad. Anyone would target the weaker member of a team. There's just nothing to be done about it."
"I think Sun's playing pretty well, though. He's 2-0, and his economy is really high now too."
[Qingqing: YH is copying Wantonly's early-game brush ambush. As they say, ten years isn't too late for a gentleman to take revenge, though the target of that revenge has changed to A Zhen.]
[Wu Hu: A Zhen must be thinking that every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt its debtor, so why target him? Hahahaha.]
[Qingqing: A Zhen is having a rough game. Lion has used his ultimate on him almost every time, giving him no chance to farm up at all.]
[Wu Hu: That's to be expected. Akaloi is very hard to deal with once he's farmed up.]
Clear used his second skill to dash into the jungle and threw his first skill at Yet. Moon Cicada Maiden was also strong in a solo lane; she could play top just as well as mid. There was a saying in Realm of the Forbidden Domain: Of the three acts of unfilial conduct, playing Moon Cicada top was one.
So he wasn't afraid of Bo'er at all. After using his quickly refreshed second skill to dodge Bo'er's crowd control, he activated his ultimate and danced gracefully.
Ji Chengyan rushed over and blocked Shi Mu's path. Shi Mu activated his ultimate to knock back Misha, who was right in his face, and used lifesteal to restore his health. The spirits he released tore at Ji Chengyan, but Yamei refreshed her shield in time to block a good deal of the damage for him.
Although support sounded like the easiest choice, that wasn't actually the case. Aside from the captain, a support's awareness and grasp of the overall situation were also especially important to a team. A support who knew how to play was tremendously important to the team.
Wantonly, for example, was a roaming support who was exceptionally good at securing vision and harassing the enemy jungler.
Heart was called a power bank because he could keep sustaining his teammates and keeping them alive, protecting every teammate to the fullest. That was why his fans affectionately called him a power bank.
