I’m an Olympic Superstar - Chapter 20
Chapter 20: Support Evelynn Using Strategy to Take the First Blood
“Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Even if your level 1 Evelynn has full hp, you will not be able to win the level 2 Hecarim.”
Misaya wasn’t giving a friendly remember, he was actually flaunting his knowledge of the game to Baby and Chen He. He wanted to show how deep his understanding was for the various champions.
Xiao Ran couldn’t be bothered to waste his words. He simply responded, “Don’t forget our bet,” and started to control Evelynn towards Hecarim.
Hecarim wasn’t a champion with plenty of hp and after killing the blue buff and murk wolf camp, even with the W ability to recover some hp, his total hp was only at 2/3.
Soon enough, the W ability’s effect had vanished. Xiao Ran had been reserving himself just for this moment when Hecarim’s hp was at the lowest!
Evelynn strutted and appeared in front of Hecarim. Without any nonsense, Xiao Ran immediately placed the Ignite on Hecarim!
When Evelynn suddenly emerged from the darkness, Hecarim got a shock and was stunned!
What kind of tempo is this???
Is the opposition’s jungler so fast and have come over to counter jungle?
Immediately after, Hecarim recalls that the enemy jungler is Wukong right? But this is Evelynn…
God damn it, this Evelynn is a support!!
A support!!!
You are just a support, furthermore, a level 1 support. You dare counter jungle me, a level 2 Hecarim?
Hecarim felt that his entire world was in disorder. Was this person here to deliver a kill to him?
But Hecarim quickly recovered from his shock and confusion. He immediately chugged down a health potion and prepared to counterattack.
But, the health potion didn’t have much effect.
This was the reason why Xiao Ran didn’t hesitate and placed the Ignite.
When one was determined to make the kill, Ignite had to be placed on the first notice. There were many instances when an enemy champion would be able to survive with a speck of hp left and it was due to the malpractice of using Ignite late.
It was a known fact that Ignite had the ‘grievous wounds’ effect apart from dealing damage over time.
The ‘grievous wounds’ effect was to reducing healing effects by 50%. When facing enemy champions like Swain and Soraka, the team would normally choose to equip one or two more additional Ignite.
Before the start of a battle, players would normally chug a potion before fighting.
The benefits of placing Ignite first was to reduce the healing effects of the enemy and to achieve the maximum damage!
“This Evelynn’s life, I will take…” Before Hecarim could finish speaking, he was flabbergasted.
A single ‘Ravage’ from Evelynn had taken off a huge chunk of hp from Hecarim.
This Hecarim wasn’t a rookie and after seeing Evelynn making a move, he immediately exclaimed, “Ravage? Wtf, this level 1 Evelynn actually learned the E ability, Ravage??!!”
Hecarim was right. Xiao Ran’s Evelynn didn’t learn Q at level 1 and had learned E instead!
Ravage: 50 / 55 / 60 / 65 / 70 Mana, 9 second Cooldown. Evelynn slashes a target enemy 2 times, dealing 35 / 60 / 85 / 110 / 135 (+0.5 Ability Power) (+0.4 bonus Attack Damage) magic damage with each strike. Evelynn then gains 60 / 75 / 90 / 105 / 120% Attack Speed for 3 seconds.
After dealing twice the AD damage and with the additional 60% attack speed for three seconds, Xiao Ran’s Evelynn had an overwhelming damage output in this early-game phase!
“Wtf! Even if she learned the E ability, her damage couldn’t be so high, right?!” Hecarim stared at his hp and his eyeballs nearly popped out.
This was actually very easy to explain.
Since Xiao Ran had picked Evelynn to play support, the runes and masteries that he used definitely weren’t normal too.
That’s right. The mastery that Xiao Ran picked was Fervor of Battle.
Evelynn’s E ability had allowed the Fervor of Battle to stack up quickly. All those with a strong understanding of Evelynn’s abilities would know that she was adept in consecutive attacks and would always choose Fervor of Battle.
Of course, for new Evelynn players and for players who found it hard to execute consecutive attacks, picking Thunderlord’s Decree would be better.
As for runes… Was there a need to ask?
For a violent man like Xiao Ran, he was definitely using all attack damage runes.
AD Evelynn, E ability at level 1, Ignite and Fervor of Battle, a full set of AD runes, fighting against a Hecarim at 2/3 hp. This was as simple as a walk in the park!
In less than three seconds, the level 2 Hecarim’s hp was plunging like a waterfall and was left with just a scrape of hp.
When Hecarim realized that he wasn’t a match for Evelynn, it was already too late. He tried to escape to the side of the wall and wanted to Flash over the wall to escape. But before he could do so, he had already perished under the claws of Xiao Ran’s Evelynn!
It was just so unfortunate that the panicking Hecarim who was only thinking to escape had actually used his Flash and still perished!
“First Blood!”
The female system voice announced the kill that echoed in the entire Summoner’s Rift.
Misaya’s eyelid jolted. Wtf, he really killed the enemy Hecarim?
Chen He was very excited as he asked, “Kun Shen, how did you do it? How did your level 1 Evelynn solo kill a level 2 Hecarim with Flash?”
Chen He couldn’t understand. According to logic, in order to solo kill a champion with Flash, one would need to use a champion with a high burst of damage.
There were only two conditions that could achieve this!
It was either a champion like Riven who could use an ability with consecutive follow-up attacks to kill with speed!
Or a champion like Malphite would could use a single brainless attack to kill enemies.
But Xiao Ran was a level 1 Evelynn…
Chen He couldn’t understand what kind of burst damage could a level 1 Evelynn have?
Evelynn’s abilities are all there. Apart from the E ability, it…
Hold on a second!
Chen He suddenly thought of a possibility. His eyes contracted, “Are you playing AD Evelynn and learned E at level 1?”
“That’s right.” Xiao Ran nodded with sincerity.
After hearing Chen He’s conjecture, Baby and Liu Siyu had been enlightened. Even Misaya was frowning silently.
Chen He laughed and praised, “You are brilliant. You got some brains uh!”
“Low-profile, low-profile.” Xiao Ran replied bashfully.
At this exact moment, Xiao Ran’s streaming room had already erupted.
Hahaha, AD Support Evelyn, 66666666!!”
“At this current moment, no number of 6 would be able to express my emotions. Let me eat a mouthful of poop to calm my nerves.”
“I had just asked my mum if there is any poop at home. My mum asked me why am I asking and I replied that I am going to stream myself eating shit!!”
“Hahaha, I am dying. I reckon that the enemy Hecarim is having a dumbfounded face.”
“What a strategy. This is absolute oppression with intelligence. I shall give full marks for this act of support counter jungling and getting First Blood. Host should be proud!!!”
…
The popularity of Xiao Ran’s streaming room had erupted again while gifts and rewards were constantly being received.
In just one minute, Xiao Ran had received close to $30,000 of gifts.
Extremely frightening!
Xiao Ran had immediately risen to the no.10 position for daily gifts.
“Leader Nose, remember to change your streaming room’s name and help to advertise for me, okay?” Xiao Ran gave a cheap reminder.
Misaya acted as though he didn’t hear anything and took a moment to plant a ward in the river and check out the Rift Scuttler movement.
“Mm Mm, this Ionia’s Rift Scuttler is truly incredible, it even walks so sexily.”
Actually, Misaya didn’t know what to say.
What else could he say?
Just half a minute ago, he was sneering at Evelynn’s suicidal counter jungling behavior. However, Xiao Ran used the cold-blooded First Blood announcement to slap his face harshly!
The f**k, this was a bare-naked slap!
