Gender Swap: The Introvert’s Broadcast

In fact, I haven’t really taken games seriously until now.
For me, it’s not so much about winning but more about having fun while playing.
But now...
If Harin declared that she’s going to make me cry, I have to give it my all.
I absolutely cannot lose.

“I’m going to play seriously, calculating every possible outcome.”

[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: How serious are you? Lol]
[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: But if you’re playing seriously, why don’t you pick a normal top champion?]
[What’s with playing Draven in top, thinking you’ll actually do well? Lol]
[Pick a normal champion, what a shame]
[Hwanhee: Please lose, please lose, please lose, please lose, please lose, please lose]
[Hey, no wishing for a loss]
[Kang Hoo-min: Harin does play well when she’s going full tryhard]
[Harin is recognized for sure lol]

Of course, I usually try to calculate every possible outcome in a game... but to be honest, when I’m doing that, it feels like my focus is slipping. So, I tend to play a bit more relaxed, reducing the focus I put in.
But now, I’ll focus all my attention into this.

“I’m going to teach the AD carry a lesson about their weakness.”

I’ve played as an AD carry before.
But how many games did I play as one?
I realized how unreasonable the "ranged damage dealer" role was and swore I would never play it again.
There’s a sense of satisfaction when you grow and clear enemies, but to reach that stage, you need your teammates' support and to coordinate well with the support.

“That difficulty is just too much.”

If I were playing alone, maybe it wouldn’t matter, but having to stick with strangers for the entire game?
As someone who enjoys playing solo, doing all that work to play AD carry just doesn’t fit my style.
Anyway, for all these reasons, I play top lane.
At least in top lane, the game proceeds based purely on skill.

“Since the enemy jungler was spotted below, I should slowly push the lane and prepare for a dive.”

The only weakness of the ranged top champions is their inability to deal well with jungle ganks.
Especially Draven, whose tendency to struggle with jungle pressure is even more noticeable among ranged champions.

[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: Because the enemy is a tank]
[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: It’s easy to beat him lol]
[Just beat him up and win]
[If the jungler focuses only on top, the top is really doomed though]
[Hwanhee: If the enemy jungler focuses on top, we need to carry from bottom]
[If they only focus on top and we lose bottom, I’ll be so pissed lol]

It seems like the enemy jungler wants to focus on bottom, so I need to gain a lot of advantage in top lane.
Just like right now.

[Enemy slain!]
[Draven -> K’Sante]

“That’s how you do it, showing the purpose of ranged champions.”

It’s not the same for other champions, but since I’m in the position where I need to snowball the game from the early lead, I have to keep pushing relentlessly without even taking a breath.

[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: Wow]
[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: This is it lol]
[Hwanhee: This game is dirty...]
[Why am I sympathizing with the enemy top laner?]
[The tank is getting beaten by the ranged champion at top, and the jungler is only focusing on bottom? I’m really mad now lol]
[If it’s ranged top, they should be wrecking top lane]
[What’s the enemy jungler doing?]
[People are suspiciously mad at the enemy jungler now]
[What’s going on with these maniacs all connecting over empathy lol]

In the chat, everyone was worried about the enemy top laner.
They seemed to feel uneasy about the situation where a "tank" is getting beaten by a "ranged" champion in top lane.

“If you picked tank top, that’s your choice.”

If you’ve decided to sacrifice, you shouldn’t complain.
That’s how Reore works.
If you pick a champion first, it’s an unfavorable situation.
Saying this, I teleport back and give K’Sante another round of punishment.

“Everyone keeps saying it’s all about the bottom lane, but if I pop off at top, we won’t lose that easily.”

I continue with my laning phase while saying that.

“No way, did the top lane already get a solo kill?”

How long has it been since I said I was going to give it my all?
Already, news comes in that the top lane got solo-killed.
I’m stunned.
No matter how strong Draven is in lane, a tank shouldn’t be that fragile.

[Top gap already ㅋㅋ]
[Can we win this? Can we win this? Can we win this? Can we win this?]
[They’re freaking out because the top got one kill lol. But if the AD carry gets fed, Draven can’t do anything]
[Fact: Draven’s axe can split heads with three hits]
[One kill is fine, no big deal]

I wanted to type in the chat to ask what’s going on, but I held back.
One death is just an accident.

[You have been slain!]
[Draven -> K’Sante]

Another bad piece of news.

[What the hell ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Top gap already showing]
[If the jungler is focusing the bottom, there’s nothing we can do about top]
[The enemy jungler’s perfect counter to ranged top, but if the jungler doesn’t come top, what can you do lol]
[Fact: Jungler Shyvana is just useless anyway]
[Jungler Shyvana players should all be killed]
[Seriously, I’m already so pissed off lol]

“Ugh.”

I take a deep breath.
Getting upset won’t solve anything.
The enemy top is ranged, and they’re focusing on the bottom lane. The problem is the jungler Shyvana.
It’s not that K’Sante did anything wrong, but there’s some leeway to forgive.

“If the jungler can’t do anything, why take it out on the top lane? K’Sante probably has his own issues too.”
It would’ve been nice if the jungler was doing well.
I keep playing the laning phase with that in mind—

“No way, what is top lane doing?”

I couldn’t hold back the curse.
I understood the first two deaths.
But the process after that was just too much.

[0 kills 5 deaths, what the hell ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Is this for real? 0 kills 5 deaths at 8 minutes, feels like trolling]
[Harin just wants to say, ‘don’t win’ ㅋㅋ]
[Goodbye, Harin, you’re not going far]
[The game is already ruined ㅋㅋ]
[Meanwhile, our jungler is just farming camps]
[But Shyvana is doing what’s expected of her]
[If you’re going to suck blood, at least suck it properly, okay?]

At least if we were in the same tier, you should at least try to last a bit longer.
They’re not even that good of players.
Of course, watching the game, it looks like there’s some serious talent in Reore... but that doesn’t excuse 5 deaths.

“Like a human being, you should die in moderation. How the hell am I supposed to carry when you keep sticking your head out? Seriously, I just want to strangle you.”

[Kekeke]
[Calm down, calm down]
[Why are you so angry?]
[But K’Sante picked first, so it’s fine, right? Lol]
[If Harin’s worried about getting her head split by Draven later, that’s hilarious lol]
[Her head’s definitely getting split ㅇㅇ]

With a rightful complaint, I continued playing the game.

"Honestly, beating champions like these is so much fun."

[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: You're saying beating a Black champion is fun?]
[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: Is that really fun?]
[And you're even a lesbian ㄷㄷ]
[This might spark some controversy]
[This is an invincible combo, black and lesbian lol]
[Hwanhee: Why is the chat like this ㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Calm down, guys. If you cross the line, the broadcast will be shut down.]

There really is a certain satisfaction in attacking a tank champion.
It’s not that the health bar drops dramatically with a single hit, but there’s a certain amusement in repeatedly hitting them and playing with them, don’t you think?

“Stop with the weird chat comments. Don’t start any controversy, or it’ll cause trouble for me.”

[Well, now I want to stir things up more lol]
[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: No weird racist comments, okay?]
[Don’t say anything strange…]
[The manager said this after starting with a comment like that lol]
[Well, the manager’s royalty, so]
[If the manager wants to ban anyone, it’s all good, lol]
[Man, I wish I were a manager too~]

As I kept up with the laning phase, I scored another kill.
Now, the enemy top lane had 6 deaths.
I was starting to feel like using my summoner spells to get more kills would be a waste when, all of a sudden, this message popped up:

[All] [doooq] [K’Sante]: gg
[All] [doooq] [K’Sante]: Can’t play anymore because of the jungler
[All] [doooq] [K’Sante]: I’m quitting this game

“Looks like he got political-ed…”

If he felt like he was being manipulated by his team, I could understand that.
I sometimes feel that way too.@@novelbin@@

[All] [Londonisdangerous] [Draven]: K’Sante,
[All] [Londonisdangerous] [Draven]: Hang in there, ㅠㅠ
[All] [Londonisdangerous] [Draven]: I understand how you feel

“Guess I should empathize with him.”

[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: Empathy, really? lol]
[🗡️Omniscient Cthulhu: You just want him to throw the game]
[It’s hilarious that Dooq is talking about empathy now lol]
[Not just anyone, but ‘Dooq’ of all people saying ‘empathy’…]

I started empathizing with him.
