He was shocked: "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing." Brian Carter put away his smile and said, "If I quit now, wouldn't it really look like I came here to show off?"
Mr. Harris was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? Why did you go to his stream anyway?"
"Just to have a look." Brian Carter said, "It's fine, I'll handle it myself. Hanging up now."
Ryan Cooper had no idea what had happened; he only knew that at this moment, the barrage in his stream was exploding, already affecting his gameplay.
This computer was something his dad left behind. Its specs were only above average, barely enough to stream, but if there were too many gift effects, it would easily lag.
He didn't even need to look at the barrage assistant to know what this group was yelling about: "Don't ask, not changing computers, no money."
The team's jungler had already been flamed into going AFK, and even threatened in the chat box to make Ryan Cooper lose points.
Seeing the other person's message, Ryan Cooper sneered: "To deal with people like this, you not only have to flame them until they go AFK, but also let them win while they're AFK, so they can realize they're actually useless."
"In order to piss off this idiot, I'll temporarily turn off the barrage assistant. No one objects, right?... Okay, no objections, I'm turning it off."
Ryan Cooper ignored the countless question marks in the barrage, quickly turned off the barrage assistant, and started focusing on the game.
Ryan Cooper actually rarely flamed random players.
For the sake of streaming, he often played on smurf accounts in Platinum or Diamond rank, so the players he encountered were usually just average.
Occasionally, when someone on the team died a lot and the other three teammates started cursing their whole family, he would even type, "Stop flaming, I'll carry."
But the jungler in this game was really something else.
The whole thing had nothing to do with Ryan Cooper. Their team's support had to recall to base with low health, so she was a bit late to the team fight.
The result of the team fight was still acceptable. They lost a jungler and an ADC, but Ryan Cooper killed three on the other side, and they didn't lose any jungle resources.
Then the jungler started attacking the support, saying things like, "Saw the support's profile says female, just want to quit the game," "Knew we were about to team fight but still recalled," "Who still plays soft support Lulu in this meta, must be a rank-climbing bitch."
The support talked back a bit, but as a girl, she couldn't really curse harshly. The jungler got even more worked up seeing her reply, and his insults got nastier and nastier.
After it escalated to personal attacks, Ryan Cooper pulled off a combo to send the enemy mid-laner Kassadin back to base, then stayed in place to start some "friendly communication" with the jungler, which led to the current situation.
At this point, Ryan Cooper was the only one on the team with an advantage. His teammates' scores were something like 0/2/0, 0/4/3 (kills/deaths/assists), while his was 7/2/0. Because he had a lot of kills, he also had a bounty on his head, making him the enemy's main target.
Ryan Cooper controlled his champion to walk to mid lane and saw the enemy mid-laner Kassadin farming minions.
There aren't many ways to earn gold in the game: one is getting kills, the other is killing jungle monsters and enemy minions.
"Their jungler is coming," Ryan Cooper raised his eyebrows and analyzed for his viewers in a matter-of-fact tone, "otherwise, why would he dare touch my minions?"
Even so, he still moved toward mid lane.
Then, right under the enemy jungler's nose, he solo killed the enemy mid-laner Kassadin.
Kassadin's ultimate is a mobility skill, but Ryan Cooper seemed to know exactly when he would try to escape. He used his own ultimate at the very last moment before Kassadin could run, chaining all his skills for a burst of damage and beautifully securing the solo kill.
He then slipped into the enemy jungle to escape. The whole sequence was smooth and seamless.
He didn't expect to run into the enemy top-laner and support as soon as he entered the jungle. The enemy support was Thresh, a strong crowd-control support who could hook and slow. Ryan Cooper easily dodged the slow with a mobility skill. The enemy, full of killing intent, flashed in and threw out a hook, finally managing to catch Ryan Cooper.
But before the hook's pull effect even showed up, Ryan Cooper instantly used his Quicksilver Sash to remove the crowd control, so fast it was jaw-dropping.
Before the enemies or the viewers could react, he had already escaped without looking back.
Before leaving, he even skillfully flashed an emote at the enemy to show off.
【[All] Baby, he hit me (Kassadin): ?????】
【[All] Baby, he hit me (Kassadin): Bro, give me a break, the jungler is my wife, and you've solo killed me three times right in front of her.】
【[All] No way, you're really bad (Zed): Fine.】
After that, Ryan Cooper really stopped killing Kassadin.
He turned to invade the enemy jungle and camped the enemy jungler, killing her three times.
【[All] Baby, he hit me (Kassadin): Damn, you killed her so much she went offline! You might as well come kill me!】
While buying items, Ryan Cooper said, "Why are this couple so hard to please?"
Maybe because Ryan Cooper stood up for the support, ever since the jungler went AFK, the little support would occasionally follow behind him.
