Welcome to the Big Plays Spotlight! In this feature, we highlight the most epic plays, from meticulously-coordinated early tower dives to mind-blowing escapes from one side of the Rift to the other.

These clips feature Diamond 1 player hi im gosu as he uses the same Flash juke twice against the same team. Watch him mindgame the enemy, even baiting an ult and Flash as a reward for his creativity.

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

Ya if only the support would have warded everything! I hate it when the support doesn't have the entire map warded! Especially when they have a sightstone and only has three wards down...

Edit: There needs to be a sarcasm font...

I think that you are kinda misunderstanding what was being said. He said wards not "smh its because the support didn't ward."

OG FoxJun 13, 201413 votes

... thats his point... he was completely joking.. hes making a joke about because the no ward, saying it was the supports fault, that is the joke haha

This is one of the biggest issues I have with lower tier players. It is not just the supports job to ward. Every player should be buying wards **throughout ** the game. Just because you get 1 free half ward doesn't mean you don't have to buy wards any more. The it is up to the individual lane to keep their area warded. The support buys ward for the bot lane so the ADC can spend more gold on weapons and get snowballing faster.

My point? item 2044 , , and item 2043 .

And even as an ADC in lane, if you have enough for your first item wait a few seconds get a few more creep and buy a vision ward. If your supp got one too you'll be sitting pretty in vision heaven.

The Mighty TofuJun 14, 201418 votes

I didn't consider to do that as an ADC. I'll do it from now on.

Good tip.

PLz be my adc <3 -A support main.

xXtomaOHYEAHXxJun 16, 20144 votes

(correction) *every support main

ArdondJun 13, 201420 votes

it is even worse when the supp doesn't even buy a sightstone. I don't get why people don't buy wards, they cost very little and give you a huge advantage in positioning and knowledge of the game. PEOPLE HELP YOURSELFS, BUY WARDS

Amen.

CrackerrrJun 14, 201410 votes

so.. as a support im supposed to NOT get all the kills? Nami (BAZINGA)

Unjust ArbiterJun 14, 20146 votes

I find it really irritating as a support Nami main when I unintentionally ks the adc more than once a game

kefnJun 14, 201412 votes

You do realize that supports can take kills .... Strong support players playing strong champions such as sexpecial on thresh often will take 3-0-1 while wildturtle (used to) go something like 1-0-3. If the support gets the gold/kills and spends that money wisely, it often ends with wards around dragon, wards around mid, wards everywhere, tanky champions, strong teamfights, etc etc. Every role in the game benefits heavily from getting a majority of the money; top will get tankier, jungle will get (burstier)/tankier, mid will have more DPS overall, support tankier/more wards, and ad obviously more damage.

tl;dr SHARE THE GOLD WITH EVERYONE PLS! THEY ALL BENEFIT

ChettarJun 13, 20145 votes

This was pretty easy to understand. If you didn't know that you can only place 3 wards per player, then you probably don't buy more than 1 per game.

Petition for Riot to add a Comic Sans font to the comment section to show sarcasm.

Moons23Jun 14, 201418 votes

I've found success drawing attention to sarcasm in text with italics

The support walked through tri bush before dropping a ward in it. Good idea you checked it yourself now have 1 second of extra uptime on that ward. wurf.

FantabuliciousJun 13, 20145 votes

I used to support main as Sona but then completely stopped after my best friend and ADC main left League for good. We rekt every botlane as sona/jinx, and he respected me so much since I had gotten him out of more than a few sticky situations. Now, no matter how hard I try, all I get is "you bumblefuck why do you only have 3 wards down with a item 2045 omfg"

RiotPreetiJun 13, 201435 votes

Yeah! Makes me wonder how many times the enemy has done this to me.

Ths happens to me so much that when they actually go over the wall I go in the other direction and my team thinks im crazy >_>

Dont mean to burst your bubble there pal, but that stuff doesnt magically go away just becuase the color on the border of your current league changed, MOST of the ladder is that way. You are in bronze becuase you are a bronze player, BUT that doesnt mean you're terrible. So many people trash talk bronze league like its a league of mentally handicapped dead squirrels. The truth, is that the bronze player pool is quite large and being in high bronze means you are just an average player. IF you wanna be better than average you're gonna have to drop that mind set of yours.

IambicPentakillJun 14, 20143 votes

Yep, over half of ranked players are silver V and lower.

butscratchaJun 14, 20143 votes

New mindgames! Now they won't know if you Flashed to safety or into the bush nearby.

Jokes on them, I deceived in place, and watched them disperse. Shaco

You... You are brilliant, I love that one about as much as Wukong doing the same with his stealth.

RiotPreetiJun 14, 201410 votes

Or Wukong pretending to stealth!

OrderlyAnarchistJun 14, 20146 votes

PLay KhaZix. Walk into Bush. Press R. Don't leave bush.

RichardpwnsJun 14, 20148 votes

I do the same thing except it's with flash, and I'm not stealthed

iLLmrynJun 14, 20144 votes

mindgame, yes. new, no. there was a play like this in riverbush by dragon shown on protatomonster when i started playing in mid S2. Never forget. ;p

FreefalIingJun 15, 20142 votes

the one between the old river brush and the middle right brush where he flashes backwards instead of forwards or instead of over the river wall?

"Flashy" mindgames it say's, very "punny".

JingerbeardmanJun 14, 20146 votes

ummmmmmm, id keep videos in messages limited to 1. not only does it take mad resources to do just 1, 2 makes it insane. If they do load it is a jumbled mess of sound and skipping. soooo uhhhh not again please

AfanasiyaJun 14, 20144 votes

Another one they posted had six. That was horrible. Also, pause buttons would be a basic expectation, Riot...

theleadalchemistJun 14, 20144 votes

Leblanc ;-; never happens with me Kassadin ;-; me neither Janna haaaaaa suckkk ittttttt :3

TardTheGrumpyCatJun 13, 20142 votes

why is there so much time between when he flashes and reappears on screen again? something just seems a lil off in both these video's timing is all. i've NEVER in any game i've ever played had that much delay reappearing after using flash... with all the other abilities going off the sounds are right up to speed but the delay on those flashes is longer than it should be and feels like it's edited or hacked.

LoiJun 13, 201428 votes

The reason he reappears late is because they made it so it would show in the enemy's POV to show that they could not see him. They bring back all vision to show where he actually is so the viewers could see. summoner 4

SomeoneIsUsingItJun 15, 20142 votes

oh No way riot is showing clips of a diamond player flash juking 2 times in a single match when Bronze 5 players do it all the time? NO way. How amazing of riot to notice. -_- seriously. Not impressed by this at all. If I do it 3 times in a single match can I haz my clips displayed?

Willahelm FulberJun 15, 20144 votes

First off, it's diamond. These players are surely skilled at the game, unlike some players you might meet in bronze. Secondly, pulling it twice on the exact same (skilled) team shows how they didn't understand the first one either. Thirdly, Gosu is a pro player who plays in LoL E-Sports. I believe every single one of these Big Plays Spotlights come from either a pro player or a big youtuber (for instance, the OFA:Mirror spotlights)
