The German player Kimimoto has released a curious video about League of Legends. In it, his champion Warwick defeats the jungle creature Baron. However, the player is not at the PC using his abilities but briefly goes AFK to the restroom.
What exactly happened? About minute 20 in a LoL match, the player decides to defeat Baron while he is actually AFK.
He simply clicks on the jungle creature, allowing his champion Warwick to perform the auto-attack. Within just 50 seconds, Warwick manages to kill Baron.
30 seconds later, the player is then attacked by another player. Just in time, Kimimoto returns to the PC and even manages to eliminate an enemy.
Why is this so special? Baron is the strongest jungle creature in League of Legends. Generally, you only attack it when you have an advantage on the map or are acting quickly as a group.
However, the player chooses to take down Baron solo and even goes AFK while doing so. A great risk, also because enemy players could notice this and kill him or steal Baron.
Both could turn the game from a fairly safe victory into a defeat.
Warwick benefits from insane lifesteal
Why does the solo kill even work? The champion Warwick has an interesting passive ability: Insatiable Hunger.
- As a result, he deals additional damage with every attack.
- If Warwick falls below 50% health points, he is healed for that damage.
- If he falls below 25%, he even receives 150% of the damage as healing.
Additionally, the player has already done good preparation. He had 9 kills and 1 assist and therefore a lot of gold. Through the item “Blade of the Ruined King,” he gained even more lifesteal.
In the video, you can see in fast motion how quickly Warwick’s health points go up and down.
What criticism is there? In a reddit thread about the video, there are critics who believe that the entire action was staged. They are bothered by two things:
- On one hand, the enemies do not react at all to the Baron kill. Only 30 seconds later does someone randomly walk by.
- On the other hand, Kimimoto returns to the PC exactly at the moment he is attacked.
However, there are no actual signs of a fake. Even if the criticism were true, he still managed to kill Baron while AFK.
Curious videos about LoL are regularly published. Recently, we reported on a player who was just barely denied his pentakill. And the viewers suffered with him:
