LOL: Do I have to be a spinning top too?

Chapter 49: I nurtured a god

The game has finished loading, and ten beams of light descend upon Summoner's Rift.

Li Hu looked at the Darius character's profile picture, which was flashing with golden light and showed that his proficiency had reached 100%, and a smile appeared on his face.

This time, he used the Darius skin "Slam Dunk Master," replacing the axe with a basketball hoop, and his walking posture was as arrogant as if he were a complete idiot.

"Tiger, what's the deal with this round?"

Xiao Fang's voice came through the earphones.

"Stand with wards in standard positions, and avoid level 1 team fights."

Li Hu pressed Tab and glanced at the opponent's Summoner Spells...

Hoya's Ornn had Flash and Teleport, a standard tank build.

He himself also used Flash to teleport, starting with a Doran's Blade and a health potion.

He had studied Kitagawa's style.

This person, Zhao Xin, is a level 3 player who always does things; which lane he targets depends entirely on which lane is pushing the line.

But in this matchup, Ornn is playing against Darius. Before level six, Ornn is just a spinning top. If you pressure him aggressively enough, Xin Zhao will most likely gank top at level three.

"Xiao Fang, start with red buff and farm downwards. At 3 minutes and 10 seconds, go to the upper river bush and ambush them."

"You predicted it again?"

Xiao Fang's tone carried a sense of helplessness that he had grown accustomed to.

"I'm putting pressure on Ornn, and the enemy Xin Zhao will come top at level three."

"If they don't come, we can tower dive!"

"This counter-gank could force two flashes, and with luck, we could get first blood."

"Okay, whatever you say."

Li Hu controlled Darius to sneak into the top lane bush along the wall, then followed the bush forward until he squatted down in the toilet stall.

  

In level 1, Darius is absolutely the boss against Ornn.

Ornn should learn Q at level 1, as the damage is low and his survivability is not good enough against Darius.

Darius can easily stick to Ornn by leveling up his W at level 1, allowing him to stack 3-4 layers of Bloodrage. The passive bleed damage is enough to suppress Ornn's health.

Hoya's Ornn walks into the lane from the river direction.

He understood how to play this game.

Although Ornn has a tough time against Darius, he just needs to play defensively and survive. The responsibility of carrying this game falls to Huanfeng in the bottom lane.

As long as he doesn't leave the tower, Darius can't do anything to him.

As the first wave of minions clashed, Li Hu patiently waited.

Hoya watched for a long time under the tower but didn't see Darius appear.

I could only leave the tower and walk forward to try and use Q to clear out the three melee minions.

His Q, "Volcanic Rush," slammed into the ground, creating a lava fissure that extended outwards at a perfect angle, simultaneously covering three melee minions.

But the moment he used his Q skill, a figure rushed out from the bushes near the toilet.

Darius, wielding a basketball hoop axe, crossed the minion wave and positioned himself behind Ornn.

Basic attack, W "Crippling Strike" resets basic attack, then basic attack again, Bloodrage stacks instantly reach three.

"Here it comes!"

"Glory's most classic toilet squatting pose!"

Guan Zeyuan's voice instantly rose in pitch:

"Glory's really aggressive this game, he's camping in the toilet pit from level one to block Ornn's arrival!"

"For this, they even sacrificed the economy of two melee units."

Rita chimed in, "Hoya had a tough time this level. He got ambushed by Darius, who applied three stacks of Bloodrage, and his positioning was also blocked."

Hoya frowned, but didn't panic too much.

Darius's level 1 damage is so-so; he won't die after a few auto-attacks.

He controlled Ornn to immediately move towards the tower, then took a hit from Darius's auto-attack, stacking his Bloodrage to 4 stacks.

Li Hu ignored the minion wave and just wanted to gain experience. He stuck to Ornn and used his auto-attack to bleed him out.

When Ornn reached the tower, seeing that Darius still wanted to chase, Ornn's Q skill was off cooldown. He turned around and used Q to slow Darius, taking the opportunity to create distance.

"Darren came out ahead in this trade; Ornn lost almost a third of his health."

Guan Zeyuan nodded:

"Hoya handled it very calmly. Although he was hit by A's Bloodrage, he gained all the experience points, so overall it wasn't too bad."

Li Hu watched as Ornn retreated back to the tower, but did not pursue him further.

He retreated behind the minion wave to control the lane, glancing at the minimap...

Xiao Fang's monkey just finished clearing the red buff and is heading towards F6; there's plenty of time.

In the next two minutes, Darius dominated the top lane.

Darius stands to the side of the minion wave. As soon as Ornn dares to come forward to last hit, Darius immediately walks up and auto-attacks followed by W.

Then, use Q on the outer edge of the lane to trigger Bloodrage, but don't chase too far; turn back and continue controlling the lane.

Hoya was under immense pressure and felt extremely uncomfortable.

His Ornn could only use Q to last-hit a few melee minions under the tower; he didn't dare touch the ranged minions at all.

In just three minutes, he had fallen behind by nine kills in last hits, and his health had been whittled down to below half.

"This Darius has incredible pressure," Hoya silently noted to himself.

He has played League of Legends for many years and has encountered many skilled Darius players.

But those who can control the distance with such precision as the person in front of you can be counted on one hand.

Every time Darius came up to trade blows, he was right at the edge of Ornn's Q skill's maximum range.

Ornn tried to counterattack, but Darius had already retreated the moment Ornn unleashed his Q skill.

Ornn tried to finish off the enemy, but Darius immediately followed up with his EAWA combo followed by an outer Q.

This made even the usually good-natured Hoya mutter under her breath, "Ugh..."

"Beichuan, can you come up with a Level 3 course?"

Hoya's voice came through the voice chat: "This guy is a bit too fierce, I can't handle him."

Beichuan was attacking the blue buff when he switched screens to check the top lane...

Darius stood in front of the minion wave, while Ornn cowered under the tower. The minion wave was positioned not far from the red side tower.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Beichuan cleared the blue buff and reached level three, then controlled Zhao Xin to head to the top lane.

His Zhao Xin is currently at level three.

In a moment, all you need to do is use the E skill "Fearless Charge" to get close.

Ornn's Q skill "Triple Claw" knocks Darius into the air, and combined with the slow effect of the Red Buff, if Ornn provides even a little control, it will likely force Darius to use Flash or even secure a kill.

"Hoya, I'm here. Try to seduce me."

Beichuan crouched down in the grass along the upper river channel.

Hoya understood immediately and controlled Ornn to take a step forward, pretending to finish off the cannon minion.

When Li Hu saw Ornn's movement, the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.

This acting is terrible.

But instead of retreating, he took a step forward, and then used A followed by W to smash Ornn in the face, stacking Bloodrage to three layers.

Just then, Zhao Xin's figure rushed out from the river grass.

"Beichuan's Zhao Xin is here!"

Guan Zeyuan's voice rose: "Level three, take it! This is the rhythm Beichuan is most familiar with!"

Xin Zhao uses his E skill "Fearless Charge" to get close to Darius, then uses his Q skill "Triple Claw" to attack, his spear carrying the slow effect of the red buff, hitting Darius with his attack.

Hoya's Ornn followed up in unison, using his Q skill "Volcanic Eruption" to block Darius's retreat route, and then using his W skill "Bellfire Breath" to unleash flames.

Darius's health dropped sharply, but Li Hu remained calm.

Ornn turned to leave, otherwise Darius would have to auto-attack to trigger the fourth stack of Bloodrage.

Then Li Hu directly predicted and used E to pull Zhao Xin together, and then used Q skill "Decisive Battle" to hit Zhao Xin and Ornn on the outer edge, instantly stacking Bloodrage to the maximum.

"Blood Rage triggered!"

Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in surprise, "Glory's Darius has maxed out Bloodrage!"

A crimson light exploded on Darius, causing his attack power to surge.

At that very moment, Zhao Xin's Triple Claw Strike knocked Darius, who had gained Bloodrage, into the air, attempting to cover Ornn's escape and finish off Darius. Simultaneously...

A figure rushed out from the grass along the riverbank on the red side.

It was Xiao Fang who had already sacrificed his jungle clearing time to lie in wait here.

Xiao Fang's Monkey King uses his E skill "Soaring Assault" to get close to Zhao Xin, then uses his Q skill "Crushing Strike" to smash down, and finally uses his W skill "True and False Monkey King" to create clones, all of which then auto-attack Zhao Xin together.

"Xiaofang's monkeys have arrived too!"

Rita's voice rose: "TES's counter-gank was premeditated!"

Xin Zhao and Ornn's health plummeted under the focused fire of Darius and Wukong.

Darius's Bloodrage bleed effect kept ticking on the two, and the damage numbers were alarming.

Beichuan's expression changed.

"No, we can't fight, we have to retreat!"

He immediately used Flash to pull himself back to the tower.

Hoya's Ornn also used Flash and ran towards the tower.

But Li Hu's Darius had already predicted their Flash position.

As they used Flash, I instantly adjusted my position, Flashed forward as well, and then fully charged my Q on the outer edge!

The outer edge of the Q perfectly struck the low-health Xin Zhao and Ornn, who were then swept away by the axe, which was wreathed in bloodlust.

"FirstBlood!"

"Double Kill!"

"Double kill!!"

Guan Zeyuan almost roared, "Glory's Darius got a double kill!!"

"Both Glory's precise maneuvers and the jungler's counter-gank were crucial in this play!"

Rita speaks very fast:

"Beichuan's Xin Zhao ganking was entirely within their calculations!"

"Xiaofang is willing to sacrifice jungle clearing time to stay here, which shows his trust in Glory."

"Glory's Darius dealt explosive damage after stacking his Bloodrage, securing a double kill!!"

"This is a victory for the Top Esports team!"

The chat in the various live stream rooms instantly surged in popularity, with messages flooding the screen.

Holy crap! Double kill!

[This Darius player left Qingtian speechless!]

[TT really lost big this time! Top lane completely collapsed!]

[Beichuan: I ganked top at level three, got 1v2, and to make matters worse, the enemy jungler was able to counter-gank beforehand? Are we even playing?]

[Do you even know how to jungle? After clearing the red buff, aren't you going to farm the bottom lane jungle? You're wasting experience, bro!]

[It's not Beichuan's fault, it's that TES's counter-ganking is too insidious! Not ganking Ornn is a huge loss! Even ganking him is a huge loss, a really bad one!]

His posture was already incoherent:

Oh my god!!

"Holy crap! That Darius! Double kill!!"

"This is going to send him soaring into the sky!!"

Letme analyzed carefully:

"Holy crap, this is way too overpowered!"

"Playing like this, who can beat TES's top and jungle?"

Darius is a natural counter to Ornn and Xin Zhao, both of whom have short range.

"Glory has excellent micro-management skills, and he can team up with a jungler who is willing to sacrifice experience to ambush enemies."

"TT completely collapsed in the top lane this game."

After the counter-gank in the top lane, Li Hu's Darius had two kills, a 20-CS lead, and two turret plates were worn down.

He said in the voice chat, "Xiao Fang, go directly to the bottom lane to farm the jungle and protect the enemy while you're at it."

"The enemy bot lane is pushing the lane aggressively, and Kitagawa will most likely go to the bottom side of the map after he respawns."

"We don't need to worry about the top lane anymore. The enemy top and jungle can't kill me unless the mid, top, and jungle come together."

Xiao Fang responded, and Monkey B returned to town and headed down the bottom lane.

After clearing the minion wave, Li Hu's Darius recalled to base using his B skill, bought Phage and Boots of Speed, and then teleported back to his lane.

Phage, an item that increases health and attack damage, as well as has a passive effect that increases movement speed on basic attacks, is one of Darius's core items in the early game.

With this item, Darius's chasing ability will be significantly enhanced. Once he gets close to his opponent, heroes without mobility skills simply cannot escape.

Hoya's Ornn had just respawned from the fountain and teleported under the tower when he saw Darius teleport down, and he was completely dumbfounded.

He used to only be able to farm experience under the tower and use his Q skill to last-hit a few melee minions, but now he doesn't even dare to touch melee minions.

In seven minutes, Li Hu's Darius was already a full level and a half ahead of Ornn.

His last hits reached 68, while Hoya's Ornn only had a paltry 31.

"It's completely impossible to lane in the top lane now."

From the commentary booth, Guan Zeyuan's voice was filled with obvious emotion:

"Seven minutes, 68 CS to 31 CS, level 1.5 down, Ornn has completely lost connection this game."

Rita chimed in, "Yes, Darius still has an economic advantage with two kills, so Glory is going to solo the top lane again this game."

"Huanfeng must be having a headache dealing with this Darius during team fights."
