Chapter 322: [Assassin's Way]

"Damn it... why couldn't that pass?"

"Forget it, let's fight the dragon, Nocturne is not six yet."

The screams from the commentary desk never penetrated to the field.

Karsa was still discussing with Xiaohu why his ultimate didn't follow the wall, watching Talon leave gracefully, not noticing anything at the first time.

After all, Talon can truly "climb over mountains and mountains," if he can't be caught at the first time, it will be difficult to pursue after pulling away.

Fortunately, Scout, worried about whether Talon would take a detour to attack from behind, was constantly observing the mini-map.

Suddenly he noticed the position of his top lane.

Vayne flashed to escape at the limit, and at this time was walking back to the defensive tower, just starting to read the return to the city.

Talon was "separated and climbed over the wall" from the wall close to the upper river, and if the direction of travel was not detouring from the river, it seemed that there was only the direction of the upper jungle...

"TheShy! Watch out for Talon!"

The WBG mid-jungle, who reacted afterwards, finally realized something.

But it was too late.

The most soulful skill of Talon, lies in the E 【Assassin's Way】 that lives up to its name.

The mechanism of being able to "climb over" every wall gives Talon the highest theoretical mobility in the entire Summoner's Rift!

Whether it is support speed or gank route, it is something that all other heroes can hardly reach!

Receiving the information, TheShy immediately walked to the bush behind and inserted a ward...

Just happened to see a hooded man climbing over the wall from the right!

From WBG reacting to sending a reminder, it was only six or seven seconds

Talon, however, flipped over two walls—the Red Buff and the Krugs—treating the jungle as a flat straight line, and surprisingly arrived at the top lane in the blink of an eye!

At such moments, TheShy's operational habits are even more apparent.

Vayne's state at this moment wasn't very healthy, and most people's first reaction upon seeing a level six Talon appear would definitely be to immediately run back under the tower, relying on the tower's protection to wait for teammate support.

But TheShy saw the battle situation clearly.

The mid-jungle duo hadn't followed up to support immediately, nor did they have the ability to cross mountains and ridges, and Scout was still shouting that he had no level six and no TP.

Clearly, even if Vayne walked back to the tower, it would be hard to wait for teammates—instead, K'Sante, who was rushing from the left minion wave and clearly coming to help his teammate tank the tower, would arrive first!

If Vayne turned back, what awaited him would be Talon, under K'Sante's tower-tanking, effortlessly diving the tower and face-rolling his keyboard to kill him!

So TheShy chose to take the initiative.

At this moment, Nocturne and K'Sante were still a distance away, and Talon and Vayne were temporarily in a 1v1 space.

Opportunities are fleeting.

The best defense is offense!

Vayne's only remaining escape route was obviously to first beat Talon back and cripple him, making the opponent afraid to continue the pursuit.

"TheShy is still going to counter-attack!"

The Night Hunter struck first, pulled out the great crossbow on his back and pulled the trigger, using the invisibility from his tumble to get close and adjust his angle, then fired AE to pin Talon directly to the wall!

Don't underestimate the burst of a level six Vayne.

R 【Final Hour】 can instantly grant Vayne up to 35 attack damage, an increase nearly equal to a 【B. F. Sword】!

Although Talon had created distance before, he still took Vi's ultimate and Galio's wind.

Vayne's QAEA instantly triggered the true damage three-ring, and Talon's health was already below half, and 【Condemn】 would pin him to the wall for a 1.5-second stun.

By the time he was released from the stun, Vayne's Q would have refreshed, allowing him to tumble and go invisible again, still possessing ample room for maneuvering.

There might even be a possibility of a counter-kill!

But...

Just as the giant arrow of Condemn hit Talon's body, TheShy and everyone watching the battle once again saw their pupils shrink!

"No way!?"

"How can this be canceled too!!"

The expected scene didn't appear.

Talon, although caught off guard, made a move that looked "stupid" when he saw Vayne tumble and fire the arrow.

He continued to step forward, wanting to flip over another wall in the jungle crevice.

The crossbow bolt hit.

Talon's figure rose again.

The reason this move is called "stupid": because since Talon had already reacted to Vayne using E, why flip over the wall? Even if he could cancel the control, wouldn't he still be pinned into the wall from the air?

No matter how you look at it, the correct response should have been to directly open his ultimate and go invisible.

But in fact—the scene that was truly presented was Talon's figure performing a strange "twitch" in the air again.

It was as if Talon was using his movement technique in mid-air to dodge that giant knockback crossbow bolt!

As if he really knew "Lightness Skill"!

And as Talon's heels landed, he was completely unharmed, without any immobilization or control, and even his landing point was "marking time in place"!

This meant that Vayne and Talon were currently at close range.

But Vayne, who had already used his Q skill to go invisible and get close, stood in front of Talon like prey that had stripped away all defenses.

Blade light flashed.

Talon neatly threw out W 【Rake】 followed by R 【Shadow Assault】, 3+12 flying blades suddenly flashed out, then followed up with a close-range 【Noxian Diplomacy】 stab to trigger 【Blade's End】!

"It's over!!!" Kid couldn't help but let out a pig-like shriek: "TheShy!!!"

"TheShy has been insta-killed!" Angel also couldn't help but shout from the side.

TheShy in the camera was scratching his head with a confused look.

Kid still couldn't accept it and questioned: "This must be a bug, right? How could Talon not be pinned to the wall in that position! He was stuck right against the wall!"

Angel laughed and retorted: "Oh, it's a mechanic, this is a mechanic!"

"Although I don't know what mechanic it is... but whatever Master Ye uses, it must be a mechanic!"

The bullet comments suddenly became lively.

【Hehe, I think Da'an wants to take the space elevator again, wait to have his brain eaten just like Dave!!】

【Kid is still being filial, Uncle Ye is about to become his father's killer now~~】

【Filial is filial, but this wave really does look a bit like a bug... Vi's one just now was fine, that was clearly an operational issue, but Vayne's E being directly "ignored" really makes no sense, right?】

【Where does it make no sense? When Talon flipped over the wall, his hand was already hooked onto the wall, isn't it reasonable that you can't knock him back!】

【Wrong, it's actually because Master Ye knows Lightness Skill!】

【To be honest, this is too shameless, used well it's comparable to Diaochan's invincibility frames!】

But this is indeed a mechanic, and has nothing to do with a bug.

The mystery lies in the implementation principle of Talon's E skill.

In the underlying code of Talon's E skill, E is actually a "continuous" displacement skill.

Simply put, flipping over a wall is a "continuous action."

So strictly speaking, this doesn't count as control cancellation—because it can only ignore "forced displacement" types of control; normal 【Taunt】, 【Immobilize】, 【Suppression】, 【Charm】, and other controls cannot be removed.

But, it can ignore most hook skills, including Blitzcrank's Q!

The difficulty is that it relies more on timing.

Just like the human separation technique that separated Vi's ultimate lock-on earlier, it is also a precise grasp of the timing of the two skills!

"Master Ye really has played Talon's E skill to the fullest!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed in admiration while watching the replay.

"Talon's E skill is called Assassin's Path; I can only say that in his hands, he has truly brought these four words to life!"

"And with this, WBG has truly lost more than they gained; not only did Vi's first ultimate go to waste without creating any rhythm, but the top lane was broken through instead!"

"The top lane is also a bit hurt... what should they do when Nocturne has his ultimate next time?"

The commentary desk's worries were obviously correct.

Vi's position isn't hard to grasp; once the top jungle is cleared, the jungler can't just hang around the top lane forever.

Karsa's seasoned variation strategy was brought into play again.

He knew that since it was hard for him to camp the top lane, he might as well roam to the bottom half—this way, as long as Nocturne appeared, he could at least immediately start the small dragon to exchange and stop the losses!

Protecting the top lane, after all, could still rely on Galio's TP and ultimate support.

It's just a pity.

One point was missed.

Because V5's jungler in this game is Nocturne.

"Vi was seen in the bottom river, Nocturne immediately turned off the lights and took off, targeting Vayne in the top lane!"

"Scout wants to support... but it seems he can't take off!!"

As early as when Talon pushed the wave and disappeared, Galio had already synchronized and walked towards the top lane, feeling that the opponent might want to three-man gank the top.

But Nocturne's ultimate 【Paranoia】 would obscure all information in the Rift—Galio's 【Hero's Entrance】 also instantly lost the target he could support!

Scout could only walk there on foot in the pitch black, but in all likelihood, he could only help Vayne collect his corpse.

Most importantly.

V5's offensive this time actually wasn't just in one place.

"And Master Ye actually went to the bottom lane; Nocturne's ultimate is equivalent to acting in two places at once!"

"Talon flipped over mountains and ridges, snuck into the jungle from the mid river, and is about to flip out from an incredibly strange place!"

Talon's gank advantage was fully displayed.

Flipping over walls without restriction in the jungle, he could easily avoid the vision at those key intersections, and could flip out from angles that were fundamentally unimaginable; it was definitely not something that a few wards could defend against!

"Beryl waits for an opportunity to act, E-Flash in the brush..."

"But Gala's reaction!!"

Under the cover of the black mist of Paranoia, Talon had already silently flipped out from behind the Red side's bottom outer tower.

And at the first moment, due to the vision obscuration of Paranoia, WBG's bottom duo not only lost vision of the lane brush, but didn't even immediately see the Talon walking out from under their own tower.

Beryl adjusted his angle sneakily in the brush, and a shadow E-Flash 【Tangle-Barbs】 aimed at the AD and threw it!

But who would have thought, Gala, even in the situation where the lane brush suddenly became pitch black and there was absolutely no vision warning, successfully flashed to dodge Neeko's almost point-blank E skill!

Because of the presence of Milio, Aphelios was carrying 【Barrier】 instead of 【Cleanse】 in this game; if he were held by Neeko's E, he would definitely die without a doubt.

But now, being flashed away from by the opponent like this.

V5's offensive rhythm also seemed to be somewhat broken.

"Can they live? Can they live?" Karsa, who was still doing the dragon, hesitated whether to stop and rescue: "Talon's ultimate and flash should both still be a bit away!"

"They can't kill us anymore, you just keep hitting it!" Liu Qingsong shouted in response: "We can surround them immediately!"

The bottom duo couldn't follow up to focus fire, Talon had no ultimate, and there was still Milio's protection.

Ye Bo calculated the damage in his heart and decisively changed his assassination target.

"Gala's reaction, which was like cheating, successfully pulled away; this should have directly dismantled V5's offensive in the bottom lane!"

"However, Talon seems to still want to act... eh, this positioning is?"

Liu Qingsong, learning the information that Talon had no flash and no ultimate, and seeing him inexplicably in a strange position: he didn't know why, but he walked straight to the wall on the right side in front of the defensive tower.

He didn't think much, directly flashed Q with a fiery soccer kick, wanting to kick Talon into the tower behind him and directly counter-attack the opponent!

But just at this moment.

Talon rose into the air again—this time, it was touching the extremely flat wall at the edge of the Rift on the right side!

He directly performed a "flat-ground wall flip"!

"He can flip here too???" Guan Zeyuan was stunned: "Although Talon was hit with Exhaust, Milio has essentially delivered himself to his mouth!"

"W flying blade slow, close-range Q critical hit to trigger passive, Jinx behind directly flashed over to follow up with traps! Milio seems to be dying!"

"In that case, can the small dragon still be taken!?"

【The opponent rejected the Ruike 5th generation you handed over, and gave you a back-flip kick!】

【Movement Technique Blade!】

【Gala: "It's okay, it's okay! I have a hack! Holy crap, how does the opponent have one too!"】

【Haha, it feels like seeing Lu Zhantang play CS with auto-aim + headshot, only to turn around and find the opponent drove a tank over~】

【Please V5, let TheShy go, just consider it pitying Kid, help the left-behind children, do good deeds, and accumulate virtue!】

【Wait, why didn't the top lane die?】

"Farm, farm, farm! Chu Yuxun should be farming!" Beryl, seeing that Vi's figure still hadn't appeared on the map, immediately shouted to command.

The bottom lane isn't just as simple as losing a support.

Originally, both sides were normally conducting a 3v3 in the bottom lane; even if Galio couldn't make it, WBG, with their jungler present, would definitely be able to steadily take this small dragon, just as a resource exchange for the top and bottom.

But at this moment, there was a reduction in personnel in the bottom lane!
