In League of Legends, there is one item that is so overwhelmingly powerful it can wipe out both teams at once, leading to two simultaneous pentakills.
This rare occurrence highlights just how impactful items can be in the game, and this particular item stands out for its ability to cause such destruction.
League of Legends features a wide variety of items that players can select for their champions. Depending on which items a player chooses, they can enhance different aspects of their champion.
This importance is even more evident when considering legendary items. These high-tier items provide not only stats but also special bonuses that make them far more powerful than their basic components.
One such legendary item that has gained a lot of attention is the Statikk Shiv. Although this item was originally removed from the game, Riot Games reintroduced it with some tweaks. Despite efforts to balance it, Statikk Shiv remains incredibly strong and can still cause chaos in matches, as seen in a recent clip that has gone viral.
Statikk Shiv’s passive ability allows it to unleash chain lightning that strikes nearby enemies whenever the player scores a takedown. This lightning can hit an infinite number of targets, as long as there are additional enemies in range. What makes this item even more dangerous is that its effect can trigger itself under the right circumstances, leading to a chain reaction that can spiral out of control.
This exact scenario played out in the clip, where Statikk Shiv continued to activate after each kill, resulting in both teams being completely obliterated.
As seen in the Reddit clip, the chaos began when Renata used her ultimate ability on Vayne, which forced Vayne to attack her own teammates. Vayne ended up killing Veigar, which activated Statikk Shiv’s chain lightning effect. The lightning then bounced between champions on both sides, dealing massive damage to everyone.
What followed was a total team wipe. Statikk Shiv’s chain lightning spread across all 10 champions and their minions, leading to an incredible display of destruction.
Since Vayne was using the Statikk Shiv, she earned a pentakill for her team. At the same time, because Renata had used her ultimate on Vayne, she also received a pentakill for her team, making it one of the most unusual and entertaining moments seen in recent League of Legends games.
This clip showcases just how potent Statikk Shiv can be when its abilities are pushed to the limit, creating an unforgettable moment where both teams were decimated in an instant.
