A simple combo and a ward was enough for this Blitzcrank invade to fail before it even began.

LoL: The perfect way to counter Blitzcrank's predictable invades

In addition to the typical game-wide issues, there are certain League of Legends champions who have iconic plays they repeat over and over.

These include taking on multiple jungle camps at once, a Thresh lantern that saves a teammate from a position of no vision, and more wild plays.

Blitzcrank also counts among these types of champion, an idol when it comes to jungle invasions at level 1. His Q - Missile Grab is a powerful tool in stealing away a blue or red buff, setting the enemy jungler several minutes of farming behind just to catch up.

However, you always know he's coming.

The video above, uploaded to the League of Legends subreddit by user NeverSeenAMoose, shows just what we're talking about here.

In it, the five players know that Blitzcrank is going to invade the bot jungle, and so they prepare a trap to finish him off.

What follows is a combination of skills that is truly amazing. After leaving a ward in the tri-bush, they team retreats to another bush.

From there, they take advantage of the opposing team's lack of vision to lure them into a trap that consists of a Sion Q, Zyra's vines, and the follow-up from Malzahar, Jhin and Hecarim.

Four enemies are killed in what is normally a low-risk Blitzcrank invade -- a play that will certainly make us think twice before diving in so early.

LoL: Riot testing new tool to help us find friends

Social features have been on the decline in League of Legends in recent years, but Riot Games wants to reverse that trend with a new partner search system to help us find new friends.
