Destroying inhibitors in League of Legends plays a crucial role. They grant the attacking team super minions and make the Nexus vulnerable. However, their respawn takes those bonuses away. This became a bitter fate for one team.
What happened? The reddit user Bersiee posted a video showing a particularly frustrating situation in LoL. The red team was actually dominating and ahead in kills, gold, and towers.
After winning a team fight for blue, however, the tide was about to turn. The team tried to defeat Baron afterwards and then push to the enemy base to win the game.
Instead of stopping the blue team from their plan, Camille from the red team decided to run into the enemy base and finish the game. But a small timing error prevented this.
What did she fail at? The enemy inhibitor had already been destroyed and Camille was pushing along with her minions and a super minion towards the last towers. After that, the only thing in her way was the Nexus. She should have been able to defeat it with ease.
But what Camille did not consider was the respawn of the inhibitor. It reappears every 5 minutes. As long as all 3 inhibitors are alive, the Nexus cannot be attacked.
And the unfortunate respawn happens exactly at the moment she would have launched her final attack on the Nexus.
What happens then? The blue team was timely finished with Baron and Diana returned to her own base. There, she prevents Camille from attacking the inhibitor again.
The rest of the blue team then manages to defeat the opponents in a team fight and wins the game afterward. So the difference between the victory of red and blue was just one auto-attack.
Players are already frustrated while watching
How do the reactions to the clip look? Under the video, there are several comments that sympathize with Camille in the video:
- The user barnac9923 writes: “That was incredibly unlucky.”
- Bruh31198 would put LoL aside for a while: “I would stop playing for a while now.”
- Other users, however, say that they would need a drink first or would be tilted by the action.
Does such a thing happen often? Players narrowly missing a victory happens more often with the number of matches in LoL. Just one auto-attack and the fact that it was actually the inhibitor’s fault is quite rare.
Equally rare is the situation of a double pentakill. In this case, the last two opponents die almost simultaneously. This was, for example, the case in this situation: This team fight in LoL is probably one of the rarest events in the game.
