The reddit user p1zzaontheroof shared a video about League of Legends where he actually does everything wrong with the champion Xerath. However, the opponents react so perfectly that they even think he is a hacker.
What is curious about the video? The player is playing with the champion Xerath in the match. As a supporter, his role is to deal damage to the opponents and push them out of the lane.
However, the player must aim precisely with his abilities. This is because Xerath has many so-called skill shots and hitting moving targets with them is not that easy.
p1zzaontheroof often misses completely with Xerath. Yet the opponents react so perfectly that they jump into the ability twice.
Subsequently, the reddit user claims that he was even called a scripter by the opposing bot lane, as well as his own mid lane. He is said to have a program running in the background that calculates the perfect aim for his abilities.
Professionals plan ahead, p1zzaontheroof just got lucky
What exactly happens? In both scenes, the opposing Jinx uses the spell “Flash” and teleports to another position. There, she is hit directly by Xerath’s “E” and stunned for a short time.
However, the reddit user emphasizes that these were completely coincidences.
He also attached a clip where you can clearly see that he already has problems hitting the crab, a neutral creature.
How do professionals do it? In fact, it is common for professionals in LoL to try to predict the movement or Flash of an enemy.
One of the most legendary players in this context is MadLife. In his career, he often aimed not directly at the enemy with his characters, but next to them. This way he hit the player who used Flash or another teleport.
Recently, you could admire such a prediction from MadLife at the All-Star event in 2019.
You can watch a nice compilation of these “hooks” in this video:
MadLife belongs to the first generation of LoL professionals. This generation produced well-known names like Faker, xPeke, and TheShy. What has become of these professionals now and whether they are still active in League of Legends, we will tell you here:
