[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 78

[⨷] [⨷] [⨷]

The ping hits haphazardly as soon as the game starts.

Even though it should be a familiar sight, it feels strangely unfamiliar, so it seems I've been in a place I shouldn't be for quite a while.

Diamond upper, Master lower tier.

Still, like a tier that's starting to think to some extent, there were no quitters who went AFK from the start.

‘Well, it doesn't matter since I'm a support anyway.’

Although jungle dominance often leads to lane dominance, it was also true that the burden was less than when I was jungling.

‘If they go AFK, it's only their loss.’

Ah, of course, I lose too, but.

In any case, since that didn't happen, there was no need to think about it more deeply.

One of the few strengths of Camille support is the early invade.

At this time, it's good to go towards the bottom lane as much as possible, even for the upcoming lane phase.

‘It's good if they use Flash, if not… I can't help it.’

Especially if I can get rid of Aphelios' Flash, who is a marksman without any survival skills, it would be excellent for the upcoming lane dominance or combat, but I can't hope for such a fluke.

For now, the pick itself, Camille support, is a pick that must put everything on the invade, but that doesn't mean I need to be anxious.

The opportunity will definitely come.

Camille support is a non-mainstream pick.

No, to be precise, it's more of a troll pick.

Of course, even players in the Diamond Master tier can't normally accumulate data on this.

‘But it won't be easy.’

Usually, when facing a non-mainstream pick, that is, a champion that doesn't often appear, most people will, for a moment, play it safe.

This is because they don't know what strange moves the opponent might use.

However, Camille is a non-mainstream pick as a support, but the champion itself belongs to the mainstream picks.

Of course, the so-called 'peculiar' plays are mostly already in the player's head.

‘Thinking of catching them off guard is arrogant. But it's not bad to trade.’

Objectively speaking, the opponent's invade composition is quite powerful.

From Sett, to Renekton with instant CC, and in addition, Nautilus, a grab-type champion.

‘But our team has the initiative in the invade.’

The basis for that?

Because I'm Camille.

It's time for Camille support's strengths to shine.

1 minute 20 seconds.

It's not late at all, nor is it too fast, but it's the time when the top laners are heading to their lanes.

[Outlaw(Camille) is on the way]

[Outlaw(Camille) is on the way]

With a loud ping, 4 allies excluding the top laner boldly entered towards the opponent's blue side through the bottom lane brush.

That moment.

As if welcoming the unwelcome guest, Nautilus's grab flew from the enemy blue brush.

Countless thoughts flashed through my mind in a split second.

‘The fact that Nautilus is initiating a fight means that the opponent's 4 are gathered here.’

As expected, Nidalee, who is fast at jungling, seemed to be taking the red buff route rather than the blue buff route.

‘Of course, it won't go as planned.’

Currently, I'm the one at the forefront of the allied formation.

And right now, Nautilus's grab is flying right in front of me.

‘Dodge forward.’

Dodging incoming skills with a forward Flash is not usually used well, even by professionals.

Once successful, it becomes a very flashy technique, but frankly, there's no need to do that.

But I am different.

For me, this isn't a flashy technique play, but a play I can naturally do.

I can do this.

‘Now.’

After dodging Nautilus's grab with a diagonal forward Flash, I immediately planted a hook and a ward in the brush.

The appearances of the 3 opponents except Nautilus were revealed.

There was no need to hesitate.

I immediately charged at the opponents, and in an instant, I put a wide-area stun on the 3 opponents.

It was the start of a full-scale battle.

As I charged boldly without looking back, I, alone in the enemy lines, could not help but be exposed to the concentrated fire of the opponents.

However,

My runes are Aftershock and Bone Plating.

The usual lane Camille mainly takes Conqueror or Press the Attack, and recently, Grasp of the Undying, but my role is support.

The role of support Camille I'm trying to do right now is to initiate and induce a bold combat.

First, Renekton's W hit my head, but Renekton's W, which didn't fill up his Fury, couldn't break Camille's passive shield.

But that didn't mean that the opponent's multiple attacks weren't painful.

Even though my HP was instantly below 30%, I succeeded in somehow enduring.

In contrast, the situation of Nautilus, who was standing alone in the enemy lines like me, wasn't so good.

Due to the missed grab, Nautilus was immediately exposed to his allies, and the Aftershock passive through his auto-attack passive also had to trigger a beat late.

Of course, Nautilus had to pay the price for it.

-First Blood!

-You have slain an enemy!

Nautilus tried to escape, even using Flash late, but was caught by Sylas.

And with that, my HP, which had been consistently hit during the escape, also went below 10%.

That moment.

-Blink!

The opponent's Aphelios, unable to resist the temptation of low HP, used both Flash and Heal to finish me off.

-You have been slain by an enemy!

The screen turns gray.

There was no need to feel sorry.

Because Aphelios, who used all his spells to catch me, had to pay the price of frustration.

-You have slain an enemy!

2:1 trade.

It was already an invade with enough advantage, but what was important was that not only Camille's Flash, but also the opponent's marksman's spells were all gone.

‘On the other hand, our marksman's Flash is still remaining.’

Like Aphelios, the presence of Varus's Flash, a walk-type marksman, was also a very important issue in the bottom lane dominance.

Also, the jungler was also at an advantage.

In the invade combat, we won, and of course, Nidalee had to hastily change her route to red, as if being chased out.

In this situation, in order for Nidalee to recoup the loss as much as possible, she has to take a route that splits half and half.

And the fact that the opponent's jungle route was forced means that naturally, we will have to take the bottom lane dominance.

For now, the initial plan I set seemed to have worked out quite well.

『👍』

『🐧』

‘Well, it's bad news for Jason, though.’

If the junglers from both teams go half and half, Jason, who is on top, will naturally be exposed to Nidalee's ganking threats as well.

Not to mention, Sett was a pretty good champion in both ganking response and dive, even if not as good as Renekton.

I, who revived from the fountain, immediately returned to the lane.

Even though I arrived at the bottom lane a little later than the opponent, the opponent's bottom lane didn't even think about touching the lane and was dawdling behind.

Knowing that Xin Zhao, a champion capable of level 2 ganking, was taking the bottom route, the opponent's bottom lane had to give up the early level 2 dominance.

If it was a mid-tier, they would have tried to take level 2 dominance regardless of whether Xin Zhao took the bottom route or not, but, being a tier that thinks to some extent, such an unfortunate event didn't happen.

But the lane phase doesn't end just because one side is unilaterally playing safe.

That's just the beginning.

Varus's strength is revealed when the lane is pushed.

[Camille – Level 2]

[Varus – Level 2]

The opponent's front was quickly losing their fighting spirit with the merciless poke that started as soon as we hit level 2.

The opponent's composition is Aphelios and Nautilus.

It's a combination that is extremely powerful in combat and ganking response, but since the means of combat is sealed by the jungle route, all they can do is just endure.

‘They'll be getting angry soon.’

The difference in CS between Varus and Aphelios gradually widens.

In addition to that, every time I subtly disappear from their sight, the opponent's mid laner flinches and backs off.

The bottom lane dominance that started from the early invade was affecting the mid lane that was far away.

‘Angry?’

Of course, the opponent's bottom lane, who had been silently enduring this, couldn't help but get angry.

Every time I briefly disappear from their sight, hesitation is seen in Nautilus.

Should I go? Shouldn't I go?

Did he go up? Is it a trap?

In that dilemma, I, the one who created the problem, just have to toy with the opponent's Nautilus by watching his reaction.

‘Am I going up? Is it real this time?’

Strong pressure blurs judgment.

How many times did I move like that, teasing the opponent?

Amidst the relentless pressure, the opponent's Nautilus, unable to bear it anymore, started rushing towards Varus, who was alone.

‘He's coming out, as expected.’

Varus desperately tried to move, but it was not easy for Varus, who is inherently a walk-type, to avoid Nautilus's grab that was pushing in openly.

-Toong!

Varus is pulled in by Nautilus's grab.

Of course, it was the wrong answer.

‘Hello.’

With that, Xin Zhao and I, who were digging a tunnel in the brush, immediately ambushed Nautilus.

Nautilus's Flash was still not back, and he couldn't withstand the subsequent bombardment.

Even though it's when the items come out later, Nautilus in the early stages is softer than expected.

-You have slain an enemy!

It didn't end there.

The opponent's Aphelios was instantly alone, and, under the pressure of being dived, had to back away.

[⨷]

[Outlaw(Camille) is targeting the turret shield]

While Aphelios was watching from afar, the CS burned away, and we freely mined the turret shield.

It was the moment the bottom lane burst.
