This was how League of Legends worked, no matter how bad the lane was losing, as long as you could win the teamfights, you could turn the situation around.
Graves, who had obtained gold from the quadra kill, Baron and a tower, had gotten Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer and Bilgewater Cutlass just twenty minutes into the match! His items were definitely a big threat to their opponents right now!
“Support, Jungler, protect Graves! We still have a chance!”
His teammates saw the light at the end of the tunnel, each one of them slowly getting hyped up. It wasn’t only the Support and Jungler who were trying their best to protect Graves, even Orianna’s shield was constantly on Graves.
With such protection from his teammates, Yu Luocheng could afford to be even bolder when rushing forward! Throwing caution to the wind, Yu Luocheng activated Quickdraw and moved into a dead angle, A-Q-A together with an ulti, instantly killing the most threatening champion on the opposing team—Syndra!
Syndra’s skills had also hit Graves head-on, and usually, she would be able to kill him with it. However, with Orianna’s shield on him coupled with Janna’s shield and the Barrier which Yu Luocheng had activated, Graves would still have about half of his health left even if Syndra had managed to launch all of her skills at him!
Flashing out of the dangerous position that he was in, Yu Luocheng quickly returned to the rear. Janna threw out a beautiful ulti, pushing back all the opponent champions who were trying to kill Yu Luocheng.
Adjust their formation, continue to fight!
Xin Zhao who was a meat tank didn’t have to face the threat of the opponent’s AP, managing to tank the damage without any problems and giving both Orianna and Graves enough time to attack. This fight ended with Yu Luocheng dying and Orianna getting three kills, managing to ace the other side.
***
As long as one person was alive, this fight was won!
Orianna’s basic attack was not low and her ability to clear the lane was fast. After getting an ace and taking down a middle tower, their gold income would have stabilised!
Yang Qianqian who had been watching the whole byplay couldn’t help but get excited at this moment. Turning around a game was something that could move your emotions, and right now, Graves’ every step was pulling on her heartstrings, making her heart beat faster.
At the same time, his teammates every action was also very stressful. Worrying that they might get caught, worrying that they may get careless at any moment, worrying that they may make an obvious mistake…
For them, this was just another Ranked match, but to Yu Luocheng, this was a crucial match!
Twenty five consecutive wins…
Twenty five consecutive wins!
It was so close!
***
The fight entered into the middle stage, both sides clashed at mid lane, Baron Pit, Red and Blue Buff—all the objective areas. They always kept a safe distance after poking each other with some of their skill shots.
This felt like a match between masters, where nobody dared to make any careless moves, always cautious of the other side. This attitude was called if you are serious, then you will lose.
There was also another saying, where if you make the first move, then you lose!
Highly skilled players understood this logic so they wouldn’t dare to carelessly make any moves.
Finally, the opponent Lee Sin managed to grasp a chance as his Sonic Wave managed to hit Orianna and he flew over immediately!
The handsome blind monk threw a kick from the enemies creep wave, his moves smooth and skillful. Once the Sonic Wave came out, he followed up with Resonating Kick, planting a ward right before his kick reached Orianna…
Next, he jumped to the ward and made a beautiful round!
“Hiyak!”
Lee Sin let out a shout, landing his kick heavily on Orianna! Orianna stumbled hard into the opponent’s creep wave, and her welcoming committee were the four champions who were out for her blood.
Orianna hurriedly Flashed away, retreating back into their base. Yu Luocheng frowned, she should have Flashed at the moment Lee Sin had landed the kick on her, not wait until she had been in such a dangerous position to Flash.
“Ha!”
Xin Zhao and Orianna were obviously a duo queue, as Xin Zhao Flashed forward to save Orianna, bravely rushing into the enemy lines by himself! His spear resembled a dragon, sweeping out a ferocious storm, knocking back their opponents and scattering their formation.
With her teammates in front, Orianna quickly snapped back to attention and threw her Magic Ball onto Xin Zhao to shield him. Xin Zhao didn’t retreat, rushing forward to the highest damage carry—Syndra.
Syndra, who had been aiming for Orianna’s head previously, had not expected that she would have to use Flash to avoid Orianna’s stun. As she was moving forward to close the distance, Xin Zhao’s spear came right at her!
Syndra had already been marked by Xin Zhao and she was the only one not swept away by his sweep. Although Xin Zhao’s damage output was not very high, his level was high enough that his attacks were hard to ignore.
Orianna was still holding back, not using her ulti at this time. As expected, when Syndra was slowed due to Orianna’s Magic Ball effect, she immediately Flashed out. If Orianna had used her ulti just now, it would have just been a waste.
***
Yu Luocheng stared at the screen intently, Orianna still had her ulti, they could still do this!
Slamming down on the G key repeatedly, Yu Luocheng ignored Lee Sin who had exhausted all of his skills and Orianna’s position, facing the other opponent champions instead.
With Infinity Edge, Phantom Dancer, Last Whisper and the Blade of the Ruined King, Graves’ damage was extremely high. The opponent Jungler wouldn’t be able to tank the attacks either.
In fact, they didn’t have enough front liners. Lee Sin was building Bruiser items, and after his previous combo, his damage was basically halved and he could only flank Graves while trying to find an opportunity.
Graves could easily bring down the Jungler’s health by half in just a few seconds. At this time, a white thunder wave suddenly appeared from the fog, imprinting a mark on his body!
“Ha!”
Lee Sin jumped into view, intending to claim Graves’ head!
Yu Luocheng calmly guided Graves to the side…
Don’t underestimate Graves and think he was just some weakling, his passive and resistance were much higher than the other ADCs! The Jungler didn’t have much damage and the higher damage was from Lee Sin. Facing these two champions, Graves moved from side to side, luring them to stand in a straight line!
Buckshot!
Collateral Damage!
The two skills came consecutively and slammed into Lee Sin and Jarvan. Yu Luocheng’s attack didn’t stop there and the life steal effects from his items made his health consistently recover.
For a time, there was an obvious two-sided face-off. On one side, Orianna, Xin Zhao, and Shyvanna were against Syndra, Caitlyn and Lulu. On the other side, Lee Sin and the Jungler were up against Yu Luocheng, while Janna had already been killed when she made that careless move earlier.
That is to say, from the time Lee Sin flew over, Yu Luocheng had been consistently rushing toward the two champions. First, it was Jarvan, then, it was Lee Sin!
Looking at Graves who was unprotected and his rapidly declining health, Yang Qianqian clenched her fist nervously as she watched on. Majority of the damage in the team came from Graves, and if Graves went down, the whole fight was as good as gone.
Yang Qianqian couldn’t help but resent his teammates. Even as an amateur player herself, she knew that they should be protecting the ADC. How could these be players who were over 2,000 points when not a single one even turned back to protect Graves!
