Chapter 29: Solo Killed by a Support! 369’s Rebellious Phase!

The reason this level-one play forced out a Flash wasn’t just about the mechanics—it was the Doran’s Blade! Cheng Xian had started with a Doran’s Blade. Blitzcrank’s base attack damage is already respectable at level one, and when combined with the AD bonus from the blade, the damage output was far beyond that of a Cho’Gath starting with Corrupting Potion.

Of course, a mere Doran’s Blade alone wouldn’t have been enough to force a Flash out of a Cho’Gath in a straight-up trade. The true core of the play was that Cheng Xian had leveled his W, Overdrive, first. It provided a burst of movement speed and a 30% attack speed buff.

With the XP lead, the Blitzcrank hit level two!

The sequence of key presses was executed in perfect synchronization, without a hint of panic—fluid and logical.

"Are you kidding me? That was just a misjudgment on my part. How the hell can a support Blitzcrank kill me?" 369 said with a dark expression. "Forget it, keep farming. Get up here as soon as you can and let's set him up!"

Cheng Xian paused for a moment upon hearing this. Then, 369’s screen went black.

To higher-ranked players, this would be laughable. "A level-two power spike, a Flash-hook, followed by Ignite and perfectly chained auto-attacks to take down the Terror of the Void! Absolutely beautiful!"

"Is this what a 5,000% increase in mechanical skill feels like? Did I really just do that?"

He could have easily made the Blitzcrank waste his Flash and die right there on the spot! I, the legendary 'Dice Man,' was forced to burn my Flash at level one by a support player who hasn't seen the stage in years?

The rusted mechanical claw shot forward like a cannonball!

369 was a veteran top laner; he had anticipated this. "Heh, you tried to predict my movement with that hook, but you missed, didn't you? Only an Iron-tier player would hook where I was standing... right?"

But then, 369 was hammered into oblivion by the Blitzcrank.

"F*ck, 369, you idiot! I just told you not to die, and you turn around and get solo killed by a support? Are you going through a rebellious phase or something?" Karsa, who had been on his way to help, cursed as he saw Cho'Gath collapse.

The competition for the first Rift Herald was high-priority in this patch. If something went wrong and he didn't have Teleport, he would have to watch helplessly from the fountain as the enemy secured the objective.

"Calm down and focus," Karsa soothed. "He got lucky once, but he won't get you twice. Blitzcrank top is a weak pick. Don't let him get in your head."

369 retreated behind the safety line, slamming his mouse in frustration. "This guy! He always plays such dirty tricks!"

"No, you don't understand, this Blitzcrank is weird! Really! He feels like an Iron player, but I don't know why—he just killed me! I was trying my best to kite!" 369 defended himself desperately.

Meanwhile, on the commentary desk, the casters were singing praises. "A support solo killing a standard top laner—Shaqima has once again turned the impossible into reality. I bet 369 is going to have nightmares about that Blitzcrank laugh tonight."

Cheng Xian focused, pouring his heart into the game. He knew that while his mechanical skill had been boosted, it couldn't fully compensate for his lack of basic farming skills. After a week of hard training, he could hit about 80% of his CS when left undisturbed.

Each punch dealt over 70 damage!

Compared to him, the Cho’Gath had missed his Q, and his auto-attacks were only hitting for 50-something damage with a slower attack speed. Once the HP dropped to half, it triggered Dark Harvest, making Cho’Gath’s already dire situation even worse.

This unconventional strategy was a nightmare for pro players used to rigid, predictable matchups. If the mechanics were there, he could crush anyone!

"Xun, come top. I’ve got a big surprise for you!"
