At this moment, Xiao Ran was using Evelynn"s pa.s.sive ability"s stealth to inch towards the lower-left corner of the purple side"s murk wolf camp from the drake camp. He was at the brush at the opposite side of the blue buff and positioned himself in a blind spot.
Pa.s.sive ability, Shadow Walk: After not attacking or casting spells, Evelynn will enter the stealth mode. She can only be seen by nearby enemy Champions or true sight. While in stealth mode, she can quickly recover her mana.
In simple terms, when Evelynn is in her pa.s.sive stealth mode, as long as she isn"t in the enemy champions" range, she wouldn"t be discovered.
The brush that Xiao Ran was camping in was almost ten miles away from Hecarim, Thresh, and Jhin. Even if Xiao Ran"s Evelynn was to dance in the brush, they wouldn"t be able to see her (of course, if the brush doesn"t have the enemy"s ward and they couldn"t see her in the first place).
However, Xiao Ran had a clear view of all their movements.
"I cannot understand your way of doing things. Just a friendly reminder, your Evelynn is a Support and doesn"t have Smite." Chen He laughed out.
Xiao Ran didn"t bother about Chen He"s mockery and spoke in a serious tone, "I know I don"t have Smite. I am not here to counter jungle. I am here to get the First Blood."
Baby was so angry that the corner of her mouth was twitching as she said sternly, "Kun Shen, you better get your a.s.s back here and stop playing a fool!"
"Don"t worry. After I get the First Blood, I will definitely return to support you." Xiao Ran made a promise and guaranteed.
When Baby saw how undaunted Xiao Ran was, she spoke in a gloomy tone, "Chen He, I will help you with the jungling. Let him do his thing alone."
Baby might be speaking like this, but she was actually fuming in her heart: He will be the death of me!
But Baby couldn"t do anything to Xiao Ran and had no choice.
Seconds pa.s.sed and it was almost time for the minions to sp.a.w.n.
"Boom" and the neutral monsters suddenly sp.a.w.ned!
Xiao Ran was hiding in the brush and looking at how Jhin and Thresh was helping Hecarim with the blue buff.
Misaya was a little confused.
What is this Evelynn trying to do? If he is trying to counter jungle, what can he actually do without Smite?!
Most importantly, there wasn"t any vision too!
Kun Shen didn"t have Smite and he didn"t even have Exhaust, he had chosen Flash and Ignite!
What kind of support is this!!??
As Misaya was still unable to fathom what was happening, Xiao Ran was speaking frankly in his streaming room with a.s.surance.
But his team voice chat was still opened, thus, Misaya, Liu Siyu, Chen He, and Baby were able to hear him too.
"My fellow students, as a jungler, one must understand the damage output of each champion and calculate the jungle timing of each champion."
Xiao Ran paused for a moment and continued his con, "For example, the combination of Hecarim, Jhin, and Thresh would make the jungling speed faster. If you know their damage, you will be able to accurately calculate Hecarim"s jungle progress."
For an amateur jungler like Chen He, Xiao Ran"s words sounded very profound and logical.
But Misaya was a professional and he knew that there were too many variables.
With different runes and masteries, the jungling speed would have deviations.
With a.s.sistance from the ADC and support, the deviation would be even more significant.
Hence, when Misaya heard the words from Xiao Ran, he revealed a disdainful sneer.
He is simply imagining the wildest thing!
"Hey, your calculation method is rather 6." Chen He spoke in the voice chat, "You aren"t bluffing, right?"
Misaya scoffed and said, "Don"t listen to his ramblings. Runes, masteries, starting items, jungling habits, a.s.sistance from ADC and support would cause a serious deviation in the jungling time. If he wants to calculate the opposition"s jungling time to guess the jungling route, it is simply a pipe dream."
Misaya was very reasonable, but Xiao Ran had the [G.o.d"s Vision] and it wasn"t reasonable at all!
Reasonings weren"t even going to work on him!
"Wanna make a bet?" Xiao Ran"s voice suddenly echoed in the team voice chat.
Misaya didn"t show any weakness, "What do you want to bet?"
"Later on, I will take First Blood from Hecarim. If I am able to accurately calculate Hecarim"s jungle timing and kill him, your future streaming room"s name will be used as an advertis.e.m.e.nt for me."
"What if you lose?" Misaya sneered and asked.
"Then I shall advertise for you."
Everyone was speechless. This was too G.o.d d.a.m.n shameless!
Chen He laughed out loudly. "Interesting, this troll is brilliant. You city people sure know how to play!"
During the time they were talking, Thresh and Jhin had returned to the lane and Hecarim had obtained the blue buff with Smite. He had leveled up to level 2 and was heading for the murk wolf camp.
Xiao Ran then saw Hecarim activating the W ability, "Spirit of Dread".
Spirit of Dread: Hecarim deals magic damage of 20/31.25/42.25/53.75/65 (+20%) over 4 seconds to all nearby enemies. Hecarim is healed for 10/15/20/25/30% of the damage these enemies take from any source.
In layman terms, it was a healing ability and it was a great ability for jungling or laning. The effects weren"t very obvious but it was better than nothing.
In summary, it was a rather good ability and it was also considered an AOE ability that was rather good for clearing minions. It could basically be done without getting injured and when jungling, it allowed Hecarim to heal quite a bit of hp.
"Fortunately, this Hecarim had learned the W ability. If he had learned the E ability at level 2, he would be able to escape." Xiao Ran muttered to himself.
Xiao Ran stealthily hid in the brush and monitored Hecarim.
As for Hecarim, he was completely unaware that there was a pair of eyes in the darkness that was staring at him from behind…
The Hecarim"s jungling abilities sequence was very simple and one could even say that it was idiot-proof.
After activating W, it would be an endless combo of QAAQAA.
(TL note: A = normal attack)
Right now, that was what Hecarim was doing.
"When Hecarim is jungling, he will surely learn the W ability at level 2. So, we can basically announce his death sentence."
After making his declaration, Xiao Ran moved!
Half a minute ago, Xiao Ran was in an observation state and from the looks of it, he didn"t have any intention to make a move.
Xiao Ran was just like a ferocious tiger crouching behind a mound. After hiding and honing his blade for ten years, as soon as he made a move, it would be a shocking move!
"According to my understanding and judgment of champions" damage output, the Greater Murk Wolf should be left with 1/3 hp and Hecarim"s hp should be at the lowest point at this moment."
"Ladies and gentlemen, please open your eyes and witness the dawn of a miracle!"
As Xiao Ran spoke, he controlled Evelynn and sneaked towards the murk wolf camp.
