Big Plays: A Sinister Trap

RiotPreeti·Oct 31, 2014·110 votes·137,593 views

Welcome to the Big Plays Spotlight! In this feature, we highlight the most epic plays, from meticulously-coordinated early tower dives to mind-blowing cross-map jukes.

With Evelynn waiting in the shadows, 인천검객, a Master-level Katarina main, lures the enemy Zed and Kha’Zix toward her. Despite dangerously low health, Kat sticks around to ult and times her Zhonya’s just as Evelyn flashes in for the kill. First reset. That assist grants Kat the second Shunpo she needs to ward-hop-into-Flash, thwarting Kha’Zix’s final lunge. Second reset.

In a brilliant display of vision manipulation, the Sinister Blade ducks into the brush to avoid Zilean’s range, Shunpoing to Thresh’s lantern before helping her team secure a third kill.

For more awesome Kat reset madness, check out 인천검객’s montage.

We’d love to feature your biggest plays, so post a link in the comments below or submit your clip here!

that was the best quote eva lol

MrBuffingtonOct 31, 201422 votes

I feel like that Eve deserves more praise for doing all the work

EDIT: the juking is impressive, but Eve is the one following up on all the kills and peeling; if we want to get nitpicky, Kat could have probably (not sure about the ranges, don't play much Kat, but Eve was about where the ward was when Kat jumped anyways, and I think Kat's Shunpo range is greater than the ward range) jumped to Eve instead of using a ward to jump to. Eve was there every step of the way, and we can even talk about how Thresh positioned himself to lantern Kat out and away from Zilean while still being in position to follow up on the Zilean kill.

EDIT2: Didn't realize that Kha was like, three levels behind, no wonder his auto did 20 damage to Kat (though she did have Zhonyas)

ParinoidPandaOct 31, 20144 votes

Has to go back to confirm, and yes, Eve does all the peeling and damage while Kat just dodges and runs for the Thresh lantern.

General KeithOct 31, 201418 votes

well, it was the baiting and surviving with such low health that was impressive

KingBushwackNov 1, 20145 votes

you are right the description and the praize for the play is directed to the wrong person it should be directed to the entire teams coordination and skill not just the kats

PhyNxFyreNov 4, 20141 votes

Shunpo positions you behind your target, if Kat Shunpoed to Eve she would have ended up within range of the enemy turret

MrBuffingtonNov 4, 20141 votes

Eve was pretty much at the same spot as the ward, well outside of tower range

Omg... That health dough XD SO AMAZING!!!!

OaklenNov 1, 20146 votes

You guys keep showing these big plays and all we ever see is assassins. It's almost like they're unhealthy for the game, with resetting stuff.

AszeliaOct 31, 20145 votes

Now that's a play, unlike some of those before...

TenchuNov 1, 20145 votes

"Day 5 of my venture into the Korean ranked queues. I've played a hundred or so games but they won't let me out of unranked. There seems to be a Katarina in every game powered by some kind of mass effect engine and I could have sworn I saw Thresh throw two lanterns at once. I'm not sure whats going on here, but I don't know what's real anymore." - Last recorded words of a foreign smurf.

LedryteNov 1, 20145 votes

OK, so this play is impressive and pretty cool but it doesn't look THAT great. I feel that most Kat players could actually do this play with relative ease. What IS impressive is the Thresh and Eve's plays to keep Kat out of harm by getting kills. They really did most of the work.

420TrumpforprezNov 2, 20141 votes

Eve literally just pressed r once and than spammed q. lol. And thresh only pressed w and then q. How are those plays?He did wat he was supposed to do. Just be amazed at how all 3 of them communicated. Unlike something 90 percent of league players can't do

LedryteNov 18, 20141 votes

LOL! So true!

trumpstaOct 31, 20144 votes

lmfao the reddit circlejerk is real, all i see is katarina with her annoying blinks.

I Main SwainOct 31, 20144 votes

lol, one of the few Katarina plays that isn't a "play" where Katarina just kills the enemy team. yay? lol

MattsumuneNov 1, 20144 votes

I wish Rito would stop praising solo mechanics and started praising teamwork and the people who take the time to peel and protect the people doing "the big play". Evelynn Thresh item 3070

anyone else notice that the enemy team is still in the 1 digits while their team was mostly in the double digits?

Romans VI XXIIIOct 31, 20142 votes

Yep

Ninfreak95Nov 1, 20143 votes

Every top play is an assasin.... please Rito. It's just as hard to do this as it is for a supp to know who to cc and/or protect in a teamfight. Not an amazing play when ur champ just has more potential to look good.

OaklenNov 1, 20144 votes

reset champs have never been good for this game.
