You actually want me to...

As it turned out, he made the right bet.

After Pyke confirmed there was a box in the tri-bush, Miss Fortune and Pyke headed back to lane via the Krugs lane, but they had just turned the corner when...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

Fear was triggered, and a comet flew in from a distance, roughly in the direction of the triangular grass.

Oh, I see.

This box must have been an accident; the clown was definitely hiding in the triangular grass.

Having figured this out, the female gunner and Pyke continued forward, intending to return to lane as quickly as possible, by walking through the bush opposite the Krugs.

The result... "Whoosh whoosh whoosh"

Another box successfully triggered fear. Although there was no extra damage from Comet this time, Miss Fortune and Pyke's health had dropped to half. More importantly, they lost experience.

Looking at the dead soldier in the distance, the female gunner felt her heart was bleeding.

[Absolutely amazing.]

[I knew this guy's tactics in matches were all copied from the Joker, and today it's confirmed.]

Where's the doctor? Contact a doctor right away!

The doctor came a while ago; he took the fake body away, but the real one is still here.

After gaining an early health advantage, Roland's playstyle became more casual. Why did he pick Shaco as a second pick? Besides the entertainment value, the most important reason is that Shaco is actually a champion that Conter played as Pyke.

Fun fact: When Pyke charges up his Q, if Shaco places a box, Pyke will hook the box back and instantly eat the fear, essentially controlling himself.

This discovery came about when Roland was duo-queuing with JKL and he was playing Shaco as his support. At the time, he was amazed and thought he had triggered some kind of bug. After discovering that it was a hard counter in terms of mechanics, Roland never used any other support when playing Pyke again.

Don't ask, the answer is simply to fight fire with fire. (PS, remember to ban Senna if you're playing Shaco support.)

However, there are also drawbacks. Pyke can swim over the boxes with his W active without triggering the boxes (the boxes are minions and cannot see stealth).

The laning phase is simple. Since the AD carry is Ezreal, after gaining an early advantage with the box, the Shaco support only needs to do the following:

One: Place the scary box on both sides, and have the sunny boy stand in the middle.

Second: Moderate blood donation is beneficial to physical and mental health.

Thirdly: Be frugal and thrifty; never use the E skill unless you have a comet.

Fourth: Frequently displaying the sign and returning to base in place to express their fighting spirit and optimistic attitude towards e-sports, prioritizing friendship over competition.

It has to be said that the opposing bot lane duo were truly moved by Shaco. But if you ask them if they dare to make a move, well, sorry, they really don't dare.

Several attempts with his Q skill have already caused Pyke to suffer greatly from hooking.

Several waves of clowns deliberately sold their blood to lure the enemy, tricking Pyke into giving up all the remaining health potions he had.

In lower-ranked games, seeing the enemy Joker with such low health, Pyke would already rush in, but countless experiences of being overconfident and getting scared have taught me that going in again would be stupid.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw his AD Miss Fortune finish off a low-health minion with a Q skill, and the remaining two Q skills just happened to grazed the low-health Shaco, severely scraping away Shaco's remaining health.

Seeing the clown's health bar almost completely depleted, Pyke, with Ignite already active, finally couldn't hold back any longer and immediately used E + Flash. Don't ask any questions, he's an idiot, as long as this DF combo gets him Ignite, he'll accept whatever you call him.

However, the moment he flashed and landed, the Joker disappeared.

Instead, a box that had been suddenly awakened began to rain arrows down on him with a "whoosh whoosh whoosh" sound.

After breaking stealth and setting off a box, Roland immediately used Shaco's Flash to create distance, not even bothering with his E skill, giving the enemy Pyke absolutely no chance to trade kills.

Pike was in despair.

Having just recovered from the fear, before he could even light the fire and find his target, the fear from the second box was triggered once again.

With two boxes and one ignite, combined with EZ's damage, EZ easily secured the kill on the enemy support Pyke.

First Blood!

First blood secured.

Integration: Chapter 82: What is Shakou?

[Holy crap, a box!]

Chang Wei, you still say you don't know martial arts?

[Case solved! Case solved! It turns out that the King of the Board is the legendary Clown Jinchūriki!]

[This proactive response to the Q really shows he's mastered this technique.]

The essence of this heroic spirit lies here: dare to sell.

The Joker is a hero with little initiative. To gain an advantage, he can only rely on the opponent to get overconfident. In order to achieve this goal, the Joker will often deliberately keep his health very low in order to deceive the opponent.

This time, the opposing Pyke has really paid his dues.

"Alright, guys, let's treat this game as a tutorial. Let's try to pick on those unlucky guys like the enemy bot laner." Roland said after glancing at his teammates' scores.

The biggest problem with the Joker is that he can't control the course of the game.

He can annoy the opponent when he has the advantage, but he is not very useful when he is at a disadvantage. The reason why the higher the level of the game, the lower the appearance rate of the clown is is because the enemy jungler can completely ignore the clown's lane and focus on ganking other lanes.

Within just a few minutes of the start of the game, their top lane had already been ambushed twice by the enemy jungler and his son, even managing to use Teleport. Now, the lane was in a disastrous situation.

As for the middle lane.

Since the Spring Split ended, the mid lane in S10 has almost always been a two-mage mid lane duel during the Summer Split. It's not easy to get a solo kill or snowball. To put it bluntly, apart from skill differences and jungle ganks, it's basically impossible to get a kill.

The only jungler we can count on is a resource-intensive Graves.

All I can say is: send it.

There's no other way; Roland now only has two choices: either kill more enemies in his lane than his own top laner and feed the AD carry, or he can only enjoy himself and then put on a highlight reel of a chaotic performance before playing ranked games and defending his base.

Having figured this out, Roland's next move was simple: wait for 6.

"When playing support, unless it's a specific hero, it's not recommended to roam around casually. The pace of professional matches is different from ranked matches. In professional matches, your teammates and the opponent are really focused on laning. But in ranked matches, you never know what your teammates are doing behind the screen, and you don't know if they will suddenly disappear the next moment."

At this point, Roland couldn't help but sigh.

Back when he was young, countless once-renowned "gods" met their demise under the search of teachers and parents. Those lost internet cafe legends are simply childhood memories for countless people born in the 90s.

Unfortunately, the younger generation can no longer experience this, because after the anti-addiction system was implemented, no matter how skilled you are, you can only play for three hours a week. Even the most amazing player can be ruined (laughs).

Roland made considerable preparations to reach level six and control his health, hoping to impress the opponent with his acting skills.

First, remember the time when the other person wears jewelry.

After confirming that the opponent's ward had expired and there was no vision in the bushes, Roland took the lead and occupied a patch of bushes as his performance area.

Secondly, it involves performing a visual illusion.

Leave the bush, recall to base in front of the enemy, and then use your Q skill to take a big step forward to the next bush in the last 0.5 seconds of the recall.

Here comes the key point.

Third, when you unleash your ultimate ability, while the opponent is still wondering whether you are truly returning or faking it, and considering testing with your Q skill, you control your clone to "accidentally" step out of the bush, and then place a box under the clone outside the bush.

OK, steps completed.

Pyke, who was wondering whether to use his hook just a second ago, saw the enemy "Clown" accidentally emerge from the bush and place a box at his feet.

Parker is on the court.

Pyke used his E skill to dash directly to the clown's side. To avoid the box that had just been placed, the opposing Pyke even used a 7-shaped corner E maneuver, immediately using his Flash which had just been off cooldown, and flashed into the bush, stunning the "clown" on the spot.

At the same time, the female gunner's ultimate skill was activated from behind.

It's true, absolutely true.

A clown who can put boxes in his pockets—that's definitely a real clown. Without any hesitation, he just used his ultimate move to wipe out the boxes and the clown together.

only...

When Pyke and Miss Fortune's synergy was perfectly combined, Pyke suddenly rushed into the bush, outside Miss Fortune's ultimate range, and saw yet another Shaco on the map.

Pike: ? ? ?

How old are you?

Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw the "Joker" that he had just controlled explode into three boxes from the female gunslinger's ammunition, while simultaneously trapping Pike in the bushes.

"See, brothers? There's a limit to how a single level 1 strategy works, and the simple box formation also has its drawbacks. If you want to play Shakou support well, you have to use your brain."

The fear of the ultimate skill explosion is followed by the fear triggered by the W box.

Roland doesn't even need to deal any extra damage; he can just watch Ezreal use his skills. Only when Ezreal's damage output is insufficient will he consider using his own E skill.

Seeing the friendly greeting from the opposing support in the bottom left chat box, Roland suddenly felt that this game had found its meaning.

Why play the clown?

It's all so that I can use my own experience to help others overcome their internet addiction.

You only saw the "filthy and rotten" nature of Joker players, but you didn't see that most people who experienced Joker's beatings developed a short-term aversion to the game and a hope for life.

You ask me what kind of clown I am?

Now I'm telling you, what psychologists can't do, we, the Joker, will do; what psychologists can't cure, we, the Joker, will cure. In short, what psychologists can do, we'll do; what psychologists can't do, we'll do even more of. First dirty, then rotten, the Rift has special permission!

That's the Joker, isn't that clear enough?

After this wave of kills, the only remaining AD Miss Fortune was too afraid to defend under the tower. Right now, there was only one Ezreal and one Shaco, but soon there might be a few more loot boxes. If they wait any longer, the mid and jungle might come down to take a share.

If he can't afford to offend him, can't he at least run away?

With Miss Fortune retreating, Shaco and Ezreal completely dominated the bottom lane's turret plating.

After returning home with a huge amount of gold, Roland's item build gradually became clear. There are three types of AP Shaco builds in S10: one is the no-mask/Luden's Echo build for stomping noobs, one is the no-Protobelt/Electrocute build for Electrocute, and the other is the no-Hextech Gauntlet utility build.

Considering it was a Diamond game, Roland chose the last option.

At this point, Pyke in the bottom lane had almost completely lost his composure. Hanging on one tree is not Roland's style, so it means that he urgently needs to find the next "patient".

With that in mind, he marked a retreat signal for the bottom lane, and Super Shaco once again embarked on his journey to save the world.

In fact, the Joker's mobility is not as high as one might imagine.
