League of Legends Player’s Epic Fake Flash Escape Goes Viral
Pulling off a perfect “fake Flash” in League of Legends is no easy feat. However, one quick-thinking player managed to execute it flawlessly, leaving their opponents dumbfounded.
Fake Flashing involves pretending to use the summoner spell to blink over a wall, but instead, the player travels to a nearby bush. In a recent Reddit post, a League player shared their epic getaway, where they used Flash to deceive four enemies and safely return to their Nexus.
With only a sliver of health remaining and four opponents swiftly closing in, the player had to think on their feet. Utilizing Pyke’s Phantom Undertow (E) ability, the savvy player managed to create some distance between themselves and their pursuers. However, instead of leaping over the wall toward their Red buff as expected, they expertly faked a Flash into a nearby river bush, completely fooling the entire enemy team.
Luckily for the player, the river bush had no enemy vision, even though it’s a typical spot for placing wards.
For a brief moment, things looked dire when Quinn, one of the opposing team members, seemed to be heading towards Pyke’s new hiding spot. However, the Bloodharbor Ripper managed to slip away without a hitch.
If there’s one lesson the enemy team can learn from Pyke, it’s that “sometimes a shark takes the bait and sinks the whole ship.”
