Q—Rocket Grab!
The claw which crackled with electricity flew out at an angle from the brush, heading toward the creep wave!
A ranged creep died right at that moment and the claw flew over its bloody body, landing on Caitlyn. The Q was so sudden that Jinbei didn’t have time to react, and his movements were a confirmation of that fact.
Whoosh!
A deep bluish purple shield appeared and surrounded Caitlyn, just at the exact moment the terrifying hook landed on her. The player for Blitzcrank huffed, his face clearly showing his disappointment that the hook had not connected as he’d planned!
“That was some fast reaction time!”
“Yeah, she has managed to dodge or shield every single hook. Doesn’t matter if it’s Morgana or Caitlyn, that shield is blocking all of the hooks!”
A small discussion broke out from that comment.
Blitzcrank’s hooks were always sudden, and he constantly took advantage of the moment a creep just died to send out a hook from an angle. No matter what angle he sent the hook from, whether he tried from the brush, or launched Overdrive to move forward, or even make a sudden turn to hook, it was all thwarted by Morgana.
Originally, it was already hard for Blitzcrank to land a hook. And now he was being thwarted to this extent…
He was really upset!
Luocheng was playing at his own pace, as long as Blitzcrank didn’t have his hook or he had his shield, he would advance forward. Ezreal was afraid of Morgana’s Dark Binding and simply said, “Bro, I think you’d better stop trying to hook.”
Once Blitzcrank stopped attempting to hook, a cannon minion came up. Once they started pushing, Ezreal’s farm went up by twenty CS, and that was amounting to about one kill already.
Looking at their opponents Ezreal and Blitzcrank who were getting more enthusiastic, Luocheng couldn’t help but laugh to himself.
You dared to show off with Blitzcrank in front of him?
Luocheng knew exactly when this idiot would send out a hook!
Luocheng was a genius to the point that he could use Zyra’s plants to block a Blitzcrank’s hook, compared to that, there was absolutely no difficulty in using Morgana’s shield which could instantly block it!
Of course, using Zyra’s plants to block a hook required precise judgement beforehand, and you had to predict where the hook was coming from. This required some luck mixed with skills.
After a few fast reactions that had left everyone in shock, Jinbei had more confidence in the Support that Luocheng was.
In his eyes, Blitzcrank was no more than a melee creep right now, and he could ignore him to control the creep wave and pressure Ezreal. As long as he could control the farm and pace of the lane,it was not necessary to go in for a kill just yet.
***
Ezreal and Blitzcrank couldn’t take the pressure anymore and chose to switch lanes again.
If you want to switch, we will also switch!
“F*ck, if they keep switching together with us, we won’t get any farm and experience!” Ezreal was angry and once he had reached the bottom lane, he decided to go back to the top lane!
The both of them walked back up to the top lane, but Luocheng and Jinbei chose not to switch, remaining at the bottom lane. After farming for a while at top, Ezreal and Blitzcrank realized that Dragon had been taken!
One Dragon gave 190 gold to each champion, and that was equivalent to half of a kill per person. The income for Fudan University’s team had suddenly increased.
With that, Caitlyn was able to buy a B.F Sword, and her pokes hurt. Their opponent Zac who was in a 1v2 situation at the bottom lane could only hide under the turret, not daring to come out to gain experience at all.
It wasn’t that he was scared, but after getting snared by Morgana’s Q twice, Zac’s health wasn’t able to take much so he retreated under the turret. Zac was, in fact, quite upset as he cowered under the turret. This Fallen had always been a pain in the ass for a lot of people.
Her skill shots were sudden and unexpected, you knew that a Q was coming and you would sidestep, but somehow, you would still get binded.
The chosen angles, the release timing, and all kinds of juking…
It was all a type of superior knowledge and heavy pressure, it was hard to imagine that a Support champion like Morgana could exert so much harassment and damage to this extent.
***
Clang!
A flag pole suddenly stabbed into the ground from the shadows, right at Morgana’s feet!
It was Jarvan!
Once the flag pole hit the ground, Dragon Strike was sure to follow immediately. A qualified Jarvan’s EQ must be fast or it would be easy to avoid!
This Jarvan’s EQ was extremely fast, as though the instant the flag pole was slammed into the ground, he came flying to it, and the target was Morgana!
Whoosh!
A deep dark purple shield which looked as if it were covered in blood veins appeared!
Jarvan had wanted to slam into Morgana and fling her up into the air with the momentum, but he slammed right into Morgana’s shield instead!
Airborne failed!
Morgana’s shield blocked magic damage and nullified CC effects from skill shots!
Jarvan’s sudden EQ combo had not managed to control Morgana at all!
This reaction speed…
Whether it was Fudan University or Shanghai University students, their mouths were all wide open at the display!
If you say that Morgana was able to avoid getting hooked by Blitzcrank because she had vision and could predict where it was coming from, then what about this Jarvan’s EQ which was sudden and from the shadows which didn’t give her any preparation time at all!
Which was to say, Morgana made an extremely fast response in the few seconds that Jarvan slammed the Demacian Standard and Dragon Strike! This reaction speed surprised everyone watching, including Huang Lin!
“Your Support, he’s quite strong.” Huang Lin wasn’t just giving lip service, but he still maintained his polite smile while saying it.
“Yeah, he’s a new recruit.” Yang Ying said, nodding his head, all smiles.
“A newbie?” Huang Lin asked in astonishment with his mouth agape.
“Yeah, a freshman. He hasn’t been with us long.” Yang Ying replied, somewhat boastfully.
“Oh…I see.” Huang Lin was rendered speechless.
What the hell, a freshman and he was already at this level? Are you for real?
The reason university students could be as good as they were was because they had a lot of free time during the semester to train, and of course, those who were great were already seniors in Year 3 or Year 4. A freshman would have time during summer vacation to train, and if he ranked above 2,000 points, then that was also counted as him being super talented already.
***
Jarvan’s gank didn’t make it, and instead, caused Zac to die. Once Zac had seen Jarvan going in and casting his ulti on Morgana, he too activated his Elastic Slingshot and jumped in.
As a result, Morgana had not run away in fear, but had chosen to directly activate her ulti, rooting the both of them inside.
Luocheng hadn’t even bothered to Flash, after absorbing a certain amount of damage, he calmly walked into the brushes. When Zac had been released from the root, he threw out a Q.
Zac was stunned alive until his death, splitting into five uncontrollable bloblets that started to move toward his final location. Jarvan didn’t dare to give chase knowing that Morgana hadn’t used her Flash, and should he chase her, he would probably get poked to death by Caitlyn.
***
Giving Caitlyn a double kill was not a suitable option either, and thus, Jarvan could only apologize to Zac.
Got a kill, push the lane!
Bot lane turret was crushed, and Shanghai University took the lead once again. As the Dragon respawn time grew closer, Ezreal and Blitzcrank didn’t dare to waste time at the top lane again, hurrying back to the bot lane.
***
A Blitzcrank who couldn’t hook anyone and an under-farmed Ezreal, even if they were to 2v2, they still wouldn’t be able to overpower a Caitlyn who had better items and a coy Morgana.
Once the Q had landed on Ezreal, she Flashed in and ultied, Soul Shackles!
Once Ezreal could move, he cast his E to move out of the way, but instead, died to a Head Shot by Caitlyn.
Blitzcrank managed to escape with just a sliver of health left, but since the bot lane 2v2 had been lost, the Dragon also got taken again at the 6 minute mark.
Shanghai team was once again leading, and the income gap was almost at 5,000 gold! And the most surprising thing was that as a Support, Luocheng had built Zhonya’s Hourglass right away!
***
The Support had enough gold to build a Zhonya’s.
Huang Lin’s face showed his unhappiness clearly.
The most embarrassing thing was that their Support’s item build was almost on par with his own team’s AP’s items…
Once she had her Zhonya’s, Morgana’s damage was not insignificant. If you were to be hit by one Dark Binding and a Tormented Shadow, you would lose quite a lot of health from that.
Fudan University’s team pacing had been completely disrupted by the bottom lane duo, and they had to try to initiate team fights.
***
All champions were entangled in the mid lane, both sides not daring to engage carelessly.
“Watch out!” Someone called out.
You could see Blitzcrank using Overdrive to accelerate forward suddenly, and his target was Lee Sin, who had accidentally positioned himself wrongly!
Xiao Jia had already used Safeguard three seconds ago, so even if he wanted to use it to avoid this incoming hook, it was impossible.
More importantly, he didn’t even have Flash.
Blitzcrank had been playing quite well recently, his few hooks were quite threatening and close calls. From the look of this hook, it was obvious that it would land this time, especially since Lee Sin didn’t have his W to reposition himself!
Xiao Jia’s face pinched, and he glanced at Morgana in expectation.
Shield!
Give me a shield!
Luocheng didn’t activate his shield, but he was instead walking toward Lee Sin.
Blitzcrank released his hook, sending it flying toward Lee Sin’s position!
Morgana didn’t use her shield, but dashed toward Blitzcrank’s hook instead!
Once Morgana had reached Lee Sin, the claw opened and grabbed onto her, pulling her straight into the middle of all their opponents.
This…
This was the first time Blitzcrank had managed to grab Morgana!
Blitzcrank was elated, he had wanted to grab Lee Sin, but he had gotten the Morgana instead, making him feel accomplished…
Only, why didn’t Morgana activate her Black Shield to avoid the hook?
This was not good!
Blitzcrank got a foreboding feeling.
Huang Lin, who was watching, frowned.
This idiotic Blitzcrank! Why the hell would you hook the Morgana!
Luocheng smiled at Blitzcrank, and said, “Thank you.”
Black Shield, to avoid the CC.
Flash, to avoid the first wave of damage.
***
Heading deeper into the enemy camp, taking a breath of stale air…
Let the world suffer from my fall and share my torment, enjoy this heart-piercing Soul Shackles from hell!
***
The crimson shackles burst forth from her body, latching on to the five champions and making them moan in pain from the damage!
