"Hey Hey, this G.o.d Kun is on the fly!" Foul Pig PDD was lamenting in his streaming channel.
"I don"t know if everyone noticed that Katarina"s starting item is the Dark Seal. It is that dark ring that is mean to form the Killer Book."
Dark Seal: +15 ability power, +100 mana, +25% increased healing from potions.
Unique pa.s.sive: Grants +2 ability power per Glory.
Unique pa.s.sive: Grants 3 Glory for a champion kill and 1 Glory for an a.s.sist, up to a maximum of 10 Glory stacks. Upon death, lose 6 Glory stacks.
With the opening Double Kill, the Dark Seal"s Glory had reached six stacks and gave an additional 12 ability power.
This was just the starting and Xiao Ran already had the effect of one additional item against his opponent.
"Look at G.o.d Kun"s strategy, this is what I call a profound strategy."
"I beg G.o.d Kun to join the professional league and bring the compet.i.tion some refreshing air."
"Will the one above stop talking nonsense? My great G.o.d Kun will create a landslide in the professional league!!!"
"To be honest, I was rather apprehensive when G.o.d Kun picked Katarina. Right now, I just wish to say, it is so d.a.m.ned KAKA!"
"How can it be kaka, it is simply TATA!!!"
"Wait for my great G.o.d Kun"s legendary Penta kill!!!"
"h.e.l.lo h.e.l.lo, where are all the haters? Why aren"t you talking? Come on, continue! Let"s continue to hurt one another!!"
When Hecarim and Rumble"s corpses dropped on the ice-cold ground with remaining grievances, Xiao Ran"s fans in the streaming room had flared up. Celebratory messages had flooded the entire streaming room in an instant.
While those haters had dumbfounded faces.
Why would this match have haters?
It was actually very normal.
Just as the Koreans would badmouth about the Chinese, there were also Korean fans that would brainlessly support their idols!
If the haters in the streaming room was trolling during Xiao Ran"s streams, he didn"t bother as the thing that streaming rooms didn"t lack, were haters.
But when it was involving a match between China and Korea, Xiao Ran couldn"t reserve himself and looked in the camera while grinning.
"Where are the haters just now? Why aren"t you talking?"
His tone was rather disdainful but it was a ruthless slap on all the faces of the haters.
Slap Slap!
Clear and loud slaps!
Xiao Ran"s fans were getting excited again in the streaming room!
"Dayum, my great G.o.d Kun is simply incredible, not only in games but also his audacity to roast the haters in his streaming room. Hahaha, satisfying! Such a relieving sensation!!"
"Using his ability to issue slaps to the faces is much more satisfying than a contest with words!"
The haters in the streaming room felt the stinging pain on their faces and they were enraged by Xiao Ran"s att.i.tude. Their shame turned into anger as they started to launch a maniacal barrage at the chatbox.
"Joke, you think you are so great just with a Double Kill?"
"Rubbish host! What are you acting so arrogantly for!"
"Getting haughty just because of two kills. I have never seen a host like this!!!"
"Keke, you are just using dirty tactics to take two kills. If you are so capable, solo kill our Dopa then!"
"That"s right, what so good about a Double Kill? I hate such kind of people the most!"
"Act arrogantly after you win, okay?"
Xiao Ran chose to ignore those comments from the haters that were embarra.s.sed by him.
Firstly, he didn"t have the time as he was clearing the minion wave at the mid-lane.
Secondly, he had tons of fans in the streaming room and he didn"t need to respond personally. A single fulcrum was enough for his fans to lift the entire Earth.
That Double Kill earlier was already enough for them to lift the entire Milky Way.
Xiao Ran was playing evenly against Dopa"s Orianna, they would continuously exchange health when clearing the minion waves.
For the contest in mid-lane, as long as the damage was calculated properly and with a proper understanding of the opposing champion spells, summoner spells, it was truly very hard to get a solo kill.
Basically, the kills were directly related to the junglers.
Xiao Ran had the [G.o.d"s Vision Card], hence, he knew everyone"s movement very clearly. With absolute safety, he was evenly matched against Dopa.
After clearing a few minion waves and noticing that his health was at a warning level, Xiao Ran didn"t hesitate to recall back to base.
After recalling back to base, Xiao Ran immediately bought an item.
The team chat bounced out with messages:
Clearlove"s lungs must already be exploding from anger!
Is this a ranked match?
Do you think you are playing against Platinum or Gold tier players?
You actually bought Killer Book?
The opposition is professional players… professional players!!!
A composed person like Clearlove finally couldn"t hold back anymore, "G.o.d Kun, aren"t you a little too arrogant? Are you getting complacent just because of two kills? You actually bought Killer Book as your first item?"
Flandre and Smlz went silent.
five commented weakly, "Is… isn"t this a little too aggressive?"
"Katarina, I am playing Katarina! If I don"t buy Killer Book, will Katarina still be herself?"
Xiao Ran made a promise and said, "Let alone Katarina, Nami, or Soraka, I will also buy Killer Book okay? Don"t worry, my Katarina is incredible with Killer Book!"
Why is Mejai"s Soulstealer also known as the Killer Book?
Let"s talk about Mejai"s Soulstealer"s properties.
Mejai"s Soulstealer: 20 ability power, 200 mana.
Unique Pa.s.sive – Dread: Grants (+5 AP) per stack of Glory. Grants +10% bonus movement speed at 15 Glory.
Unique Pa.s.sive – Do or Die: Grants 4 Glory for a champion kill and 2 Glory for an a.s.sist, up to a maximum of 25 Glory stacks (+125 AP). Upon death, lose 10 Glory stacks.
A glance at the pa.s.sive skills should be clear enough. Killing would make this item burst in power.
With the full 25 stacks of Glory and the 20 ability power that came along with the item, it would be a total of 145 ability power. In all of the item list, this was the item with one of the highest ability power.
The most praiseworthy thing about this item was the exceptional cost ratio as it only cost 1400 gold.
There were many times in irreversible matches, when the mid-laner was feeling hopeless, they might try to purchase the Soulstealer to try their luck.
Those that were lucky enough to build up the Glory stacks, there was a high possibility of overturning the tide.
However, purchasing the Soulstealer when having the advantage was simply a humiliation for the opposition. As such, this item had a hidden effect, the ability to mock at the opponents.
There was a saying, "The higher the risks, the higher the returns."
Kills would give four stacks, while a.s.sists would give two stacks, but a single death would lose ten stacks…
Xiao Ran"s Katarina was currently oozing with mocking aura. As soon as she returned to the lane, Hecarim came to gank.
But all of Hecarim"s movements were in Xiao Ran"s control.
When Hecarim hid in the brush, Xiao Ran would hug the turret and play safe.
(TL note: Hugging the turret is also staying close to the turret)
When Hecarim left, Xiao Ran starting playing aggressive again.
This had made Dopa and DanDy very surprised.
The both of them knew that the brush DanDy hid in didn"t have any wards. But why did it seem like Katarina was able to see Hecarim"s movements? Whenever Hecarim was camping, Katarina would play safely, but as soon as Hecarim left, she would play aggressively?
Could this be the legendary sixth sense?
Just like that, Xiao Ran peacefully leveled up to level 6. Xiao Ran couldn"t stand the silence and had started to move.
When Dopa saw Katarina strutting towards the river, he notified the team, "Katarina is heading to the bot-lane."
At the same moment, Xiao Ran said, "five, enter the brush on your side and immediately walk back before detouring around Gromp. We will go to the opposition"s jungle area to gank Hecarim."
He then said to Clearlove, "Clearlove, make one round to the top-lane and let them see your position."
"Also, Smlz, you need to play a little aggressively and pretend to reveal some flaw but don"t be too obvious. In any case, just let the opposition expose your intent. Two words, "acting skills". Pay attention to your acting skills!!"
After giving his instructions, Xiao Ran controlled Katarina and avoided the wards together with five who had detoured around Gromp and sneaked into the opposition"s jungle area.
"Clearlove is coming to gank me at top-lane, but it is a pity that his timing isn"t right. If they dare to dive the turret, I will counter kill them!" MaRin saw Elise"s movements and commented.
"Haha, this ADC called Smlz is swaying around and is simply too inferior in his acting skills."
"Shall we counter gank them?" DanDy cleared the raptor camp while asking.
Dopa replied, "Forget it, I have yet to recall and buy my items. Furthermore, it will only waste time in farming."
(TL note: Farming is a term where the champions are killing the minions to earn more gold)
Mata agreed, "Let"s play safely first. The opposition"s Jhin is farming quite well and since Katarina and Thresh are willing to wait, we will let them wait a little longer. Since they are willing to waste the farming time, who can they blame?"
"Once Katarina returns, she will lose at least one wave of minions. I do hope she will make more trips to the bot-lane."
Hahaha…
Dopa, Mata, and the others were all laughing at Xiao Ran"s misfortune.
But at this moment, Xiao Ran was already waiting in the red buff"s brush with five.
DanDy had just finished clearing the raptor camp and was moving Hecarim towards the red buff…
