Uzi couldn't help but marvel—this Heimer pick really wasn't random.
Every step of the setup was flawless, each placement precisely calculated.
Then he snapped back to reality.
Sure, it was impressive—but this guy had eaten two of his minions and taken first blood.
In that situation just now, Jinx had no Flash left. If Uzi had flashed in and chased, he could've killed her before she reached the tower.
Instead, Heimer flashed in, dropped a turret, added a basic attack, and snatched the 400 gold.
Uzi's mouth twitched violently.
Even though an assist was still worth 150 gold, it felt like a massive loss.
"Damn it."
Impressive or not, it didn't stop him from wanting to curse the guy out.
Meanwhile, the chat froze for a brief moment when the highlight happened.
Then a flood of question marks filled the screen.
"What the hell? The enemy played that so badly."
"No way, the support actually KS'd the kill? Flash KS?"
"Quick, quick—red alert the support!"
"Masters really are trash. Just like Faker said—trash at Master tier."
"At the end of the day, it's still a pro player. And the ADC is Uzi. Catching an opening at level two and solo killing isn't anything special."
People had come expecting to see Uzi get griefed by Lin Fan, tilt, and start flaming—kicking off a wave of drama.
Instead, the exact opposite happened.
Not only did Dine's Heimer not grief, he secured first blood at level two.
That was absurd.
Of course, no one in chat was about to admit Lin Fan was strong.
It had to be luck.
Or the enemy was just terrible.
They missed the level-two timing, had poor positioning, got crowd-controlled, and lost first blood.
Completely deserved.
With the enemy ADC dead, the remaining support couldn't hold the wave.
All he could do was watch Lin Fan and Uzi shove the minions into the tower and recall.
He didn't even think about stepping up to interrupt.
There was no way.
He was only level two, while the opposing bot lane was already level three.
If Heimer landed a stun, he'd probably die as well.
Better to play it safe and call the jungler.
Both enemy laners had no Flash—Jarvan just needed to come bot for guaranteed kills.
So he immediately typed for jungle assistance.
When Jinx returned to lane, she felt awful.
Her minions had all been eaten by the tower.
Looking at the level-three Blitzcrank beside her while she was still level one made her mood sink.
Even her grip on the mouse felt unstable.
She wanted Blitzcrank to recall and let her soak a wave alone, but with such healthy HP, backing felt awkward.
So the two of them could only keep sharing experience.
When Lin Fan and Uzi returned to lane, Jinx's XP bar had just barely crossed level two and a half.
A full half-level deficit.
In early bot lane, that gap was huge.
Uzi only had one assist.
Even with fifteen CS(Creep Score, monster kills), he could only afford an attack speed dagger and a longsword.
If it had been first blood, that would've been 875 gold…
Uzi's mouth twitched again.
Did they know how much extra damage an ADC got from 875 gold?
That was a straight +25 AD(attack damage).
At that moment, Heimer landed an E followed by turret fire.
It didn't stun Jinx—only clipped her—but it still triggered Arcane Comet and laser blasts.
Jinx instantly lost nearly 200 HP.
That damage was higher than Kai'Sa's.
Jinx had thought Kai'Sa's items weren't scary, so lane pressure would ease.
But just grazing the edge of an E caused turret follow-up that chunked her for nearly 200 HP.
Her face went green.
Level-three Heimer did this much damage?
At level two, Jinx only had a bit over 600 HP.
That meant one hit took nearly a third of her health.
How was this playable?
She could only wait for the wave to push back and pray for a jungle gank.
Darius was surely perma-pressuring top lane.
After a full clear, Jarvan would have no choice but to come bot.
Just endure a little longer.
With Heimer's turrets, the wave couldn't be frozen—it would push fast.
Uzi originally wanted to slow push and deny more CS.
Instead, Heimer summoned two turrets and instantly wiped a huge wave, shoving it under the enemy tower again.
There was no stopping it.
Before long, the wave crashed into red side tower.
They even started hitting turret plates.
The way Heimer played made Uzi deeply uneasy.
Everyone said he played aggressively, but this was the first time Uzi had seen such oppression.
No Flash on himself, yet he still dared to pressure this hard.
None of his previous supports had ever played like this.
Against Blitzcrank, Heimer just walked up and autoed the tower.
How little respect did he have for the robot?
Of course, Lin Fan wasn't playing blindly.
He'd placed a turret off to the side.
Auto once, step back, gain bonus movement speed.
He was holding another turret in reserve, with plenty of reaction time.
Taking advantage when given the chance was perfectly reasonable.
After taking one plate, Uzi quickly pinged to retreat.
At this rate, Jarvan was guaranteed to come.
Their jungler was topside, making plays.
Bot lane needed to play safe—no chances.
Especially with the lower river completely dark.
Even with vision in the brush, if Jarvan came, escape would be difficult.
"Why isn't he leaving?"
Heimer was still standing in front of the tower, clearly thinking: you can go, I'm staying.
"Mechanics are there, but this awareness is awful. Or maybe he's just stubborn?"
At that moment, a message appeared in team chat:
"bie pa da ye lai ke yi sha(Don't be afraid. If the jungler comes, we can kill them."
It was clearly pinyin.
Lin Fan didn't speak Korean and didn't know whether Kai'Sa was Chinese or Korean.
Seeing the hesitation, he typed in pinyin.
If Kai'Sa still retreated, there was nothing to do—Heimer couldn't 1v3, turrets or not.
Aggressive didn't mean brainless.
You couldn't just int like Uzi and die every time you got ganked.
The pinyin worked.
Kai'Sa stopped retreating and came back.
On red side, Jarvan saw Heimer and Kai'Sa pushing like this.
With the support already warning that the enemy had no summoners, it was clear—they didn't respect him at all.
He skipped the freshly respawned jungle camps and sprinted straight toward bot lane.
