Rise

After his second double kill, Lin Feng’s KDA was now 5/3/2. Any advantage the red team’s bottom lane duo had from the start of the game was completely neutralized. Lin Feng smashed that snowball before it could turn into an avalanche. And since he was such an overachiever, he didn’t just stop there. He’d also managed to get full control of bottom lane.

The cool thing about what Lin Feng had done was that Caitlyn would normally abuse her long attack range to get an early game advantage and snowball that through into the late game. That’s exactly what this Caitlyn was doing while Su Xue was playing. But this game was the story of how the Caitlyn’s life got flip turned upside down. While Su Xue was playing, Caitlyn was just chillin’ in lane, shooting some minions and farming up kills. Then Lin Feng started playing and a Vayne who was up to no good started making trouble in her neighborhood. Caitlyn got in one little fight and the next thing she knew, she’d been killed four times. Her entire lead was lost to Lin Feng’s Vayne in a matter of minutes, her KDA now 2/4/1. Vayne quickly surpassed her in items.

Lin Feng had managed to build out The Blade of the Ruined King, which clearly put his Vayne ahead. But after he’d gotten his 5th kill he used the gold to build out a Statikk Shiv. Having two fully built out items allowed him to completely dominate the lane.

By the time the first teamfight at the dragon pit broke out, Lin Feng’s summoner spells were back off cooldown, giving him even more tools to work with. He grasped the opportunity to cut through to the enemy’s back line and let loose.

《Triple kill!》

The triple kill announcement was too much for Su Xue. She was now jealous. Absolutely jealous. In all her time playing League of Legends, she’d gotten a couple of double kills. It was one of those rare things that happened every dozen games or so when everything just happened to line up perfectly for her. But a triple kill? She’d never gotten a triple kill in a game! She’d never heard the game announce a triple kill for her! She went to the bathroom for a couple of minutes, and this random kid who moved in with her suddenly managed to get two double kills and a triple kill. It was too much!

Su Xue watched the kid sitting next to her playing the game instead of watching the game. He made it look so easy. Natural. Playing league, getting double kills, all of that was so simple for him. Like breathing. Or walking. She wondered why she couldn’t play like that. Vayne wasn’t even a mechanically challenging champion to play, not like Riven. She didn’t need hours of practice to master Vayne. So why did Vayne seem like a killing machine in the hands of this kid, steamrolling through the enemy team like it was nothing? She couldn’t figure it out.

✹

Once the game hit the 20-minute mark, the red team unanimously voted to surrender. One of the rules of League of Legends was that a surrender vote could not be initiated before 20 minutes into the game. From how quickly the red team decided to end the game, it looked like they were just waiting for it. Lin Feng was just too scary of a player for all five of them to deal with. It also looked like the stomping that Lin Feng gave their bottom lane duo completely broke their team cohesion. Salty comments from the other three players on the red team started popping up on general in-game chat.
