Support isn"t interesting!
Xiao Ran scratched his head and spoke bashfully, "Actually, my mid lane is very good."
"Misaya"s Twisted Fate is the world"s no.1 Twisted Fate. You better let him play mid lane, come and play support for me."
"This…"
Before Xiao Ran could finish his words, there was a barrage of messages in the streaming room.
"Host stop being stubborn, go and play support for our Baby!"
"You have already neglected Baby for the previous match. You must play support for Baby this match!"
"If you don"t play support, I will unsubscribe!"
"I agree to the one above, my hand is already grabbing tightly on my mouse and waiting to unsubscribe!!!"
"Come come come, get ready. If host speaks another word of nonsense, we will all unsubscribe!!!"
Xiao Ran felt wronged, he felt very wronged!!!
This group of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds that forget about their humanity because of the opposite s.e.x!!!
Why are they all like me!?
"Brothers, don"t be agitated." Xiao Ran complied, "In fact, my support is also incredible. Later on, I will show you what is Carry-type Support."
Just as Xiao Ran wanted to continue bragging, "ding", the in-game screen had entered the pick and ban phase!
"Help me to ban Renekton." Liu Siyu spoke with a sweet voice.
If both players were of equal standards, Renekton was truly going to destroy Riven as Renekton counter Riven naturally.
Baby was at the third position and since her BFF had made a request, she naturally banned Renekton for her.
The opposition contemplated for a moment and banned Twisted Fate.
It looked like the opposition knew that Misaya was around even though he was using his sub-account.
Misaya, Baby, and Chen He were all famous, when coupled with Xiao Ran who was at the peak of his career, it was hard for the news to stay concealed.
Chen He was in the fourth position and had immediately banned Lee Sin.
Banning Lee Sin without hesitation. It seemed like Chen He must have been tortured by Lee Sin and it must have been a tormenting experience.
Looking at the banning speed, he must have trauma in his heart.
But looking from another angle, it seemed like Chen He"s understanding towards Wukong was rather comprehensive.
There were a few champions who could counter Wukong and Lee Sin was one of them.
After getting hit by Lee Sin"s Q ability, even if Wukong tried to camouflage, the follow-up Q would still home in on the invisible Wukong.
Lee Sin"s E ability could also neutralize Wukong"s invisibility.
Furthermore, Lee Sin"s R ability was truly a frustration for Wukong.
Wukong"s ultimate ability was originally an AOE crowd control and had impressive damage. But against Lee Sin, Wukong would be kicked away by Lee Sin"s R ability and would also cause Wukong to cough out a huge chunk of hp.
(TL note 1: AOE = area of effect, damages enemies in the surrounding vicinity)
(TL note 2: Crowd control = effects like slow, knock up, stun, immobilize)
After Chen He banned Lee Sin, the opposition banned Ahri.
Both bans were made against Misaya.
Next, it was Xiao Ran"s turn to ban at the fifth position.
"Are there any champions any of you need to ban?" Xiao Ran asked.
Baby replied with a weak voice, "Ban Caitlyn then. I am always losing against Caitlyn."
Xiao Ran nodded and banned Caitlyn.
Which ADC was the strongest in the current patch?
Without a doubt, one of them was definitely Caitlyn, The Sheriff of Piltover.
Since the Runaan"s Hurricane update, Caitlyn who only been picked occasionally had started to soar in pick-rate. It was inevitable as the Runaan"s Hurricane was a perfect fit for Caitlyn!
When at the late-game, Caitlyn would be able to deal out double Headshot during team battles, especially with fast attack speed, her damage output was simply breathtaking!
If the bottom lane picked Caitlyn with the support Karma, there wasn"t a need to contest, the opposing bottom lane would have to switch lanes.
Even during early-game laning, Caitlyn could use her innately long-range advantage to suppress the opposing ADC so much that they couldn"t farm.
Of course, Xiao Ran was very willing to ban Caitlyn too, because he was going to play the Carry-type Support later and he would need some strategy.
Furthermore, Caitlyn was the only ADC that would restrict his strategy.
Next, it was time for the opposing side to ban.
Misaya was feeling surprised as the opposition had actually banned Twitch!!!
Misaya went out earlier and naturally didn"t know that Baby had won without doing a thing because of Xiao Ran"s Jungler Twitch.
Hence, Misaya was rather confused and didn"t know what was going on?
"Host 6666, the opposition actually didn"t use all three bans for Misaya and had left one for host!!!"
"Wahahaha, if the opposition finds out that my great Kun Sun is playing support for Baby later, they will probably cry to death!!"
"That is true. They had wasted a ban for nothing. Without a doubt, Leader Nose is going to pick LeBlanc."
"Kun Shen"s Jungler Twitch is truly 6666 and it deserves a ban!!"
Xiao Ran scratched his head and laughed shyly, "Hehe, I am truly ashamed! I am very gratified to receive such a response from the opposition. But later on, I will let them know that leaving just a single ban for this host is simply not enough!"
After the ban phase, the pick phase had started.
As the team had already picked their champions in advance, the picking speed was extremely fast and it was almost like instant picking.
When both sides" champions were selected, only Xiao Ran"s support had not been picked yet.
"What are you picking for support?" Baby asked curiously before giving him a suggestion, "Why don"t you pick Alistar? How good is your WQ combo?"
Chen He expressed his opinion, "Thresh is the best support for Jinx, but it is very rare to see a Thresh that is very 6."
Misaya also made a suggestion, "Why don"t you pick Braum? He is innately tanky and even has the shield and his ultimate ability for team fighting. If your Q is accurate, it will be very powerful with Jinx"s minigun."
Suggestions from Baby, Chen He, and Misaya were all very good, but Xiao Ran had ignored them completely.
Xiao Ran"s cursor moved swiftly and found the champion he wanted to pick in the ma.s.sive champion pool.
Subsequently, his teammates, Baby, Misaya, Chen He, and Liu Siyu were all flabbergasted. They couldn"t believe their eyes as Xiao Ran instantly picked that female champion!
"F**k, what are you doing host?"
"Kun Shen, are you unhappy and randomly picking a champion?"
"66666, you aren"t giving a hint of respect to Chen He and Baby. It seems like this match is going to be a duo jungler!"
"Host, are you trying to make Baby so angry until she cries?"
"Unsubscribe!! Unsubscribe!! Host is simply messing around!"
"Estimation of a ma.s.sive unsubscription in progress…"
"Everyone, don"t do it!" Xiao Ran nearly cried.
These viewers were his bread and b.u.t.ter!
The monetary benefits from these people are actually secondary, most importantly, this brother needs all of you to boost my worship points!!!
"Everyone don"t be rash. I picked this champion to play support. I am really playing support, all of you have to trust me!!!"
