You actually want me to...

At this moment, neither Spider nor Kassadin can be seen on the map, and the sound of a support activating a skill can be heard nearby. It seems that the enemy team is coming to gank him.

However, after being cautious for a long time, and not seeing anyone appear even after Pyke's W skill effect disappeared, Riven finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And then the next second.

Another hook appeared in the bushes and pulled him sharply. Before he could react, the E skill, a movement skill, was used again, leaving only a phantom shadow that stunned him on the spot.

Nothing else, just harassment.

If the enemy Akali has her abilities ready, try to bait out her ultimate. If the enemy Riven starts split-pushing, pretend to gank her and hover around her, then occasionally sneak into your own jungle and river to see if you can run into Karthus. If you do, annoy him while he farms.

Purely running around the entire map, sacrificing your own development to annoy the enemy, creating space for your teammates to develop.

It's a classic "shopping spree" strategy, but there's no denying that it's still very effective.

Because it was a ranked match, not a formal competition, the opposing team wasn't playing as seriously as expected. Everyone started to get ahead and then became overconfident, so the red team spent most of their time playing a one-on-one hide-and-seek game with Roland, except for a brief regrouping for map resources.

"This guy's Pyke is pretty good." After glancing at the Pyke who was drawing aggro on the map, Uzi couldn't help but admire the hero's proficiency.

He used various techniques, such as accelerating and twisting his body, using his E skill to dodge skills, and even using his ultimate skill to reposition himself during his escape. He turned a perfectly good 5v5 match into a Temple Run, which is truly impressive.

This guy is really good.

[TES' new support player, who is also a frequent face in high-level Korean games, is a natural at initiating team fights and showcasing flashy plays, although he often gets outplayed himself.]

"That's true, but it's already good enough. The entire enemy team was chasing him, and he only got caught twice. I really couldn't do it."

That's how he enjoys playing games.

After repeated provocations, the nature of the game changed. The red team players subconsciously wanted to chase and kill Pyke whenever they saw him, mainly because his playstyle was just too despicable.

He'll pull you around all the time, and he'll circle around you every now and then. If you ignore him, he'll cause trouble for you; if you pay attention to him, he'll run away in a flash. He's really disgusting.

This is the third time the red team has tried to catch this "mouse".

In order to avoid losing the game, the red team members were working together to lure Pyke into the Baron pit, planning to kill him and then take advantage of their numerical advantage to secure Baron and quickly end the game.

For these high-level players, ranking points are always the most important thing; everything else is secondary.

The cat-and-mouse game in between is just an appetizer in the process of ranking up.

Unfortunately, they realized it a little too late.

Thanks to Pyke's skillful maneuvering, the blue team has gained several minutes of development time.

This development period was enough for Ornn to reach level 11, and Kassadin to unlock his level 2 ultimate.

In other words, the blue team finally has a chance to engage in team fights.

The best hunters usually disguise themselves as their prey.

Just as the encirclement formation on the opposite side was completed, a sheep's bleat suddenly rose into the air above the canyon. Ornn was blowing the horn of attack, his target being the group of red team members clustered together.

Encirclement and counter-encirclement.

Hunting and counter-hunting.

Seeing that his teammates were in the right position, Roland immediately used a basic attack on the dragon after entering the pit, and then quickly used his E and Flash to escape from the pit with very low health.

Favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships

Ornn's knock-up, Baron's damage reduction, and a fully-skilled player fighting someone with less-than-fully-skilled abilities.

Capitalizing on this time difference, the blue team launched their most lethal counterattack. Although Xiaogou's Xayah was still two levels behind the opponent, he had already acquired items like the Azure Empyrea, Rapid Firecannon, and some other components, resulting in decent damage output.

Basic attack, activate skill, basic attack, reposition.

Every basic attack is aimed at finding the best angle, and every output is like dancing on the edge of a knife. As an AD assassin on the field, Wuzi's performance never lives up to his name, even though he often dies suddenly.

He activated his ultimate ability, thus avoiding Akali's second ultimate ability from closing in.

With a landing E-flash, he used his feathers to control Riven, who was trying to dive into the backline.

Although both plays were executed well, the red team's equipment and levels were simply too good. Even though they launched a sneak attack from the shadows, they still haven't been able to kill any of the red team's heroes; at most, they've only managed to reduce their health, and that's it.

As the blue team's heroes fell one by one, Roland, who had been lingering around the scene, sharpened his gaze and began to act.

The familiar sound effects of Pyke's stealth ability rang out. After more than ten minutes of using his ultimate to escape, the blue team had almost forgotten about Pyke's ultimate.

【R: Fountain of Hatred】Pyke blinks to execute low-health enemies. If the execution is successful, the ability can be used again and grants bonus gold to an ally who assists.

Without hesitation, we first fired at the immobile target.

Riven, who charged all the way to Xayah, was already low on health. After being hit by Xayah's full E, her health was now hovering on the verge of instant death.

Without hesitation, he unleashed his ultimate ability, Fountain of Hatred, instantly taking Riven's head.

The red team never dreamed that Pyke, who had less than 100 health a few seconds ago, would dare to launch a counterattack and get hit squarely.

"Welcome to... the Abyss..."

Kill, refresh, and reuse.

For Pyke, every second of the harvest time is crucial. He turns around and unleashes his ultimate again, this time targeting Akali, a mid-lane champion who was already low on health after his ultimate missed its target.

Double Kill!

"Two drowning victims."

The E skill dash brought him closer again, and the third ultimate was aimed at the low-health Karthus, whose movement speed was extremely slow.

【Triple Kill!】

"Three lost souls."

After finishing off Karthus, Karthus, having missed several Q skills, decisively activated his ultimate. At that moment, the anthem of the soul locked onto every remaining hero on the red team, and the countdown to their deaths had begun.

On the front lines, the blue team only had Ornn, Pyke, and Xayah with low health left, while the red team had the same low-health duo of Nautilus and Miss Fortune.

Seeing that the chance to turn the tide was right in front of him, Ornn immediately used Flash + E skill to crash into the wall before the time limit, forcibly knocking up the enemy support Nautilus.

With this control, Pike's speed is enough to catch up!

The horn of the deep sea sounded again, and the being beneath the tide finally came into the open. Without any mobility skills, Roland could only endure the Miss Fortune's basic attacks and unleash his ultimate skill once more!

【Quadra Kill?】

"Four new friends in the deep sea".

As the Requiem was about to fall from the sky, Roland frantically pressed the R key, his eyes flashing with extreme excitement and madness.

With their lineup, it's completely impossible for them to win a head-on fight at this point; they'll have to drag the game into the late game. But once both of their carries are level 13, the opponent probably won't give them any more time to farm after this wave.

Therefore, we have no choice but to fight, and we must fight.

Since we can't instantly level up the AD carry to the same level, let the AD carry's economy take off first, and hand over the key factor of victory or defeat to him.

Bet your money on Uzi!

My heart was pounding, and my hands were shaking violently.

Roland, having lost the Demacia Cup, poured all his frustration from the competition into this single ranked match. It was a loser's way of consoling himself and a way for the disappointed to vent.

So

Please accept this, AD.

This is my last purse!

"Bah!"

[Penta Kill!]

With the final ultimate skill landing, Karthus took down Miss Fortune, and the remaining three members of the red team were also finished off by Karthus' ultimate skill.

ACE X2!

At this moment, no one survived.

First Encounter: Chapter 30: What is Power Leveling?

[Holy crap!?]

What the hell is this? I'm totally dumbfounded.

[He didn't kill a single person the whole time, but then he killed five in one go. This was the Sword Saint's Draw Sword Strike!]

[Get out of the way, you who leaped back with sword energy! Wait, he actually is a support character, so never mind.]

No one expected that Pyke would manage to pull off a pentakill in a losing situation at this crucial moment, which truly stunned everyone.

Not only that, but even on the in-game screen, various League of Legends (LOL) phrases floated by.

That's the charm of League of Legends; no one can predict what will happen next until the game is over.

Then we come to the champion Pyke.

In fact, all the values ​​in this game can be calculated.

Coincidentally, two months ago, in order to sell skins, Riot Games gave Pyke an epic buff in patch 9.14. The change to his ultimate ability was that after killing an opponent, not only would teammates get a "You got one too" buff, but Pyke would also get one.

作为算法则是新版派克大招在击杀了对手之后瞬间可以让团队经济提升300+150+300+300=1050块，派克收获600块；而大招参与助攻的赏金更为恐怖，原本只有150块，但是如今派克能拿150+300+300=750块！

For example, in this game, the enemy's most fed Karthus had a bounty of 1000. After being killed by Pyke, the team's gold would instantly increase by 1750. In other words, after this team fight, the blue team's total gold went from being behind by about 5000 to being ahead of the enemy by several hundred.

Yes, this thing is just that exaggerated. The designer used his feet to balance it.

In this version, a skilled Pyke can easily earn four or five thousand gold from his ultimate in a slightly smooth game, and even in a slightly unfavorable situation, he can still get two or three thousand gold. Draven must be crying in the bathroom when he sees this.

People toil away for over ten minutes farming minions, only to kill their opponents and still not earn as much bounty as Pyke gets from a single ultimate ability. That's so true.

Seeing the several thousand dollars that had suddenly appeared in his pocket, Roland immediately began crafting his second piece of equipment, the Vision Blade [Shadow Broadsword], while also pulling out a shield blade [Night's Edge].

Knowing that his pentakill would attract a lot of aggro from the enemy team, he didn't even bother building Duskblade. He just went for the safest build possible and even wanted to get another Black Cleaver.

If it weren't for the fact that building tank items on this thing is useless, he would have even considered building a Warmog's Armor.

On the other hand, Xayah's equipment has been completely upgraded.

Although she didn't get a single kill, just from the assists, Xayah had over a thousand extra gold in her pocket, enough to buy Infinity Edge, and her equipment was even ahead of the enemy AD.

As the saying goes, when you're ahead in an Infinity Edge game, your damage output becomes incredibly high. And the most crucial factor was that after the pentakill, the blue team's levels finally started to catch up with the opposing team.

With vision control in place, the true ward is deployed.

Ornn, relying on Teleport, solo-pushed and leveled up to 13. Kassadin and Xayah were also farming hard, and everyone had a bright future ahead of them.
