Big Plays Spotlight: Meteos’ fakeout

Riot·Apr 9, 2014·2 votes·8,290 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 escapes from one side of the Rift to the other.

Last Sunday, in a day of LCS upsets, a Baroned-up Team Coast pushed down top lane at the 40-minute mark, ready to add Cloud 9 to the tally of toppled titans. But C9’s Meteos was ready. Making the most of his full-damage, split-push Nocturne, he tore down Coast’s bot inhib turret before faking a retreat. With the threat of Meteos looming, Coast faced an impossible decision: rush a 5v4 or wait and risk Meteos joining his team under turret. A hasty engage cued a one-man demolition as Meteos shred through Coast’s base while the rest of C9 prevented Coast from backing.

Scope out a kickass play you think we should feature? Link it in the comments below or shoot it our way!

In the words of our lord and savior Scarra. "Up until they lose the game, Coast is winning."

Scarra, not the shout caster summoners deserve, but the shout caster the summoners need.

So a team of 5 people ignored a backdoor? Am I missing something?

º R8 ºApr 9, 201459 votes

no they didnt ignore,he faked retreating back to his base and they fell for it, by the time they noticed he was gonna backdoor it all the way they couldn't recall cuz they were already in a 5v4 team fight and kept getting their recalls denied
