Big Plays Spotlight: ackerman’s calculated juke

Riot·Apr 17, 2014·0 votes·6,119 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.

In a beautiful display of cooldown management, LMQ’s ackerman exploited every Lee Sin trick in his arsenal to juke a seemingly inescapable gank. Trapped deep in the enemy jungle and with death staring him in the face, ackerman still had one final trump card: Teleport. Cloud 9 Tempest’s Kez realized too late that the elaborate chase was merely a calculated ploy, buying time for Teleport to come off cooldown and beam ackerman away to safety.

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

Am I missing something? How is this a "Big Play"?? GJ shy didn't have enough damage to take him out before TP was up lol. This isn't a "Big Play" this is a fail on Elise's part as 1 more step forward before casting cocoon and dead Lee Sin. CD management? seriously? TP was up nearly from the start of the chase. I also saw ZERO jukes, as jumping to a ward or minion is not a "juke" unless you fool them, they where never fooled they knew exactly where he was and where he was going the entire time. The "Big Play" would have been lee waiting at golems until shy and/or Elise came around the corner then dashing to a ward on the opposite side THAT would have been a JUKE.

C'mon RIOT there are WAY better plays than this to feature!

Saul TeaApr 17, 201424 votes

You try it and see if you can even THINK about tp when you have two pros chasing you through their jungle.

Azriel DreemurrApr 17, 20148 votes

Umm first off, anyone above silver should be thinking about things like teleport to get out at all times anyway. Second, idk where you get the "two pros chasing you" part since yazuki isn't anything special, certainly not pro, and kez is argueably the worst jungle in the challenger series.

FireInfernalApr 17, 201421 votes

I love it when Gold players think they can talk about how bad a Challenger player is.

RantardedApr 17, 201414 votes

I love how you guys are complete idiots, you don't have to be a professional movie critic to call a movie bad. Same as you don't have to be a challenger player to call a challenger player bad. Saintvicious is bad and gets outsmited by everyone. Am I better than him? No, but he is trash compared to every other professional jungler.

Yasuo MuricaApr 17, 20145 votes

But he isn't gold he's bronze two.

KeinertApr 18, 20143 votes

Saint gets "outsmited" by everyone, guess someone didnt see saint smite steal baron in the All Stars Last year

AseryoApr 19, 20142 votes

Thats what I'm saying…. Its a good thing I'm bronze. Now i can say that any challenger player is bad. Right?

OrderlyAnarchistApr 17, 20148 votes

It amuses me when scrubs like us call challenger players and pro players "bad."

Do none of you realize how badly we suck?

HeHoApr 18, 20149 votes

Lol, his tp came up at the very start of that Gif (the shortened video clip above, not sure if it is really a gif, sry). click the video to see the genius of the tp. it saved him and he used it as soon as he could get into a good position to be safe (using the word loosely) from Elise.

I read that as Jacker's ejaculation don't even ask how

KevinDelMarrApr 17, 20143 votes

The only reason Lee survived was because the Elise decided to walk away as Lee went up. If Elise had continued to chase Lee wouldn't have been able to escape, since Elise would've been in range for a cocoon. Kinda sad when the "Big Play" was due to the enemy being dumb, not so much the Pro Play being skillful.
