I do not miss playing League at all, but I still remember fondly pulling a camping Katarina into our base with Blitzcrank, and the player raging
Hazard Kitten
: ) that's why you don't camp like a fucking asshole

Are you familiar with DOTA’s legendary Fountain Hook
Hazard Kitten
nope
EsperBot
Okay so
EsperBot
DOTA has a hero called Pudge, who is not like Blitzcrank in most ways but has, as probably his most defining ability, a hook that works much like Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab.
EsperBot
It reaches out at long range, grabs you, and pulls you to Pudge
EsperBot
Now, there used to be a fun thing you could do with this, called FOuntain Hooking
EsperBot
There's another hero, called Chen, who has an ability that, after a few seconds of cast time, teleports you directly back to the fountain in your base
EsperBot
And you used to be able to combine these abilities in a fun way
EsperBot
See, the hook brought the enemy to Pudge's position as of when the hook connected, but there was a short interval of time between when Pudge launched the hook and when the hook would actually connect
EsperBot
So if Chen used his teleportation ability to send pudge back to the fountain, and then Pudge threw out his hook at just the right time,
EsperBot
Dendi's Hook to Fountain Compilation Dota 2 Internat...
you would get pulled all the way to the fountain
EsperBot
Whereupon the fountain would destroy you with prejudice.

Nice
EsperBot
This was very very impractical so even though it's CLEARLY a bug it was left alone for a long time
EsperBot
Until at the International, the biggest tournament of the year, Na'Vi, in a deeply disavantageous position, actually started doing it for real, and turned a horrifically losing game around.
EsperBot
It was patched out immediately after the tournament, haha
