With sufficient health, successful laning, and a level advantage, Chen Mu gained leverage for his squad in this entire match. He could farm CS and harass others whenever he wanted to. A white layer of armor surrounded his Rockman’s body that destroyed all of Bladesman’s hopes to poke Rockman.
Disgusting! It’s simply too disgusting! Zhao Yin suddenly realized how disgusting it was to come face-to-face with a mid lane Rockman.
After three minion waves, Chen Mu managed to farm eighteen minions with an additional siege minion without missing out. Meanwhile, Bladesman only managed to farm a pathetic six minions. On top of that, his health had been reduced by more than a hundred points.
Was Chen Mu supposed to let Bladesman off just like that? Impossible! Whenever a champion got suppressed, their player would begin getting anxious and panic, leading to reduced thinking speed in their brains. With that thought in mind, Chen Mu began calling out to his teammates.
“Blind Monk, gank the mid lane. Come from the top lane, he doesn’t have a ward,” Chen Mu said.
“Ok.” Blind Monk tried camping throughout a wave on the top lane but failed to see any kind of opening. Meanwhile, the jungle creeps had also been completely cleared. He was more than happy to try when he heard Chen Mu’s words.
Moreover, it was not a tryout when Chen Mu asked Blind Monk to gank the mid lane—it was a surefire gank!
The AP Bladesman build was trending extremely well recently. Using his Q to sweep up minions while waiting to reap kills whenever their targets’ health went low. However, this function was all built on the condition that the champion was equipped with items.
Without any items equipped, this Bladesman could not even cut through Rockman’s skin. How was he supposed to reap anything?
Therefore, whenever Zhao Yin saw the opportunity to farm CS, he would not let it slip.
League of Legends was a game that was crueler than reality. It was the actual embodiment of the truth that “money can buy anything”.
If you managed to get one maxed out item, you could go up alone against two or three champions at a time and even dive their towers to secure your kills. Then, you could recall to the Fountain to rejuvenate.
However, you could only submit to Fate without gold. You would only be able to watch as others take your lane away from you, bully your friends, and flirt with your girl!
Every invested League of Legends player placed greater importance on the economy and experience than their own lives—as what many game commentators would have mentioned when explaining the matches to the audience.
“Even if I die, I’ll have to bring this wave of minions with me to the grave!”
Therefore, when Bladesman noticed more than two minions’ health dropping super low, it was as though Bladesman was a hungry weasel looking at chickens; its drool pooling on the ground.
Even if it was at the cost of getting harassed by Rockman, there was no way Bladesman was missing out on last hitting these few minions.
Zhao Yin’s eyes were fixated on the low health ranged minions like a man who had lost his mind. ‘Twelve creeps. I’ve been suppressed by twelve creeps. Imagine how much gold this will give me.’
That in mind made him completely unaware of his surroundings. When he attempted to Q the minions, Chen Mu’s Rockman began shifting into a forward position.
Chen Mu moved into the position that he carefully chose. It was a position next to one of the minions furthest but still within the range of Bladesman’s Q. Chen Mu chose this position because he knew Bladesman would definitely end up in this position.
Moreover, Chen Mu took another two more steps forward and walked on the Bladesman’s path home. This way, when Bladesman started to run away, Chen Mu could throw in two more normal attacks.
The moment Bladesman landed on the ground, he was instantly bombarded by Chen Mu’s cruel beatings.
However, Zhao Yin consoled himself that it was fine. He could always just return, cast W, and consume some potions.
