League of Legends: Do I Have to Be a Spinning Top Too?

Former LDL pro substitute Li Hu is reborn in 2022 and becomes an internet-addicted teenager all over again.

Other players go pro on talent. Li Hu goes pro by getting whipped like a spinning top.

At eighteen, ranked third on the Rift with an 81% win rate: at first glance, he seems to fit the story of a prodigy top laner.

But no one knows it is all thanks to his [Spinning Top Panel].

Whenever an opponent gets the better of him in a match, he can absorb their champion mechanics and matchup knowledge.

The harder they beat him, the faster he learns.

And so, the most beatable top laner in LPL history is born!

The entire professional League of Legends scene is baffled: what's going on with Li Hu?

In scrims, he gets solo-killed nearly every game, but in official matches, he just keeps getting stronger.

Bin solo-kills him four times in one match, and in the next, Li Hu pulls out Camille and beats Bin by eighty CS.

TheShy dives him three times, and Li Hu comes back having learned TheShy's laning tricks.

369: “How does he keep getting stronger?”

Zika: “No idea. He actually seems pretty happy when you whip him like a spinning top.”

When Li Hu finally stands on the Worlds winners' podium, a host below asks him the secret to his success.

He says something that leaves everyone completely baffled:

“Thanks to every opponent who's ever whipped me like a spinning top.”

“The harder you whip me, the faster I spin.”

“I want to say that getting whipped isn't scary. Not being able to spin is what's embarrassing.”

(The author is a spinning top himself. One lash and he spins three times. This isn't made up.)
