In League of Legends, there have always been many hidden bugs, along with numerous tricks that even veteran players may not know. The reason is that these clever tricks or bugs do not appear frequently and require special conditions or factors. In fact, many bugs and tricks are associated with champions that have been “out of meta” for a long time, making them even easier to “fade into obscurity”.
Recently, the “bug master” Vandiril discovered a mechanism that allows Skarner to pull opponents back to their Nexus tower. Specifically, in a recent clip, Vandiril played Kalista and used R – Fate’s Call on Skarner while he was using Flash. Of course, while Skarner was using Flash, Fate’s Call had no effect. But at the same time, Skarner also used R – Impale on an opponent. As soon as Kalista returned to her Nexus tower, Skarner turned off Flash. At that moment, Kalista’s Fate’s Call took effect on Skarner, while at the same time, that champion was also affected by Impale. Thus, Skarner pulled the opposing champion all the way back to the Nexus tower.
This is indeed a quite interesting trick in League of Legends that not many people can discover. The main reasons are that, firstly, Skarner has been out of meta for a long time. Secondly, the mechanism to execute this trick is quite complex, and not all players can always focus and time perfectly to execute the combo flawlessly.
However, if executed correctly and targeting the enemy’s carry, this will be a highly effective “turnaround” trick. In League of Legends history, not many champions have this mechanism, nor can players proactively execute this mechanism unless they make a mistake. The most recent and notable case is that of 2T, a former member of SBTC Esports. When he activated the second use of Vex’s Shadow Surge, he nearly dashed straight into the ancient altar of Saigon Buffalo.
In the broader history of Esports, this is the combo of DOTA 2 legend Dendi when he teamed up with his partner Puppey. This combo from Dendi completely annihilated TongFu from China and forced Valve to quickly patch the game right after this historic match.
