Summary

After watching Alan play League of Legends, the stick-figures accidentally start a new game with an old foe, Purple. SC soon learns that Purple was cheating by messing with the source code, but when he destroys all his clones, he swallows all of the Champion Data to regain the edge. Purple then summons a massive monster to carry him to victory, despite the stick figures' best efforts. However, it's revealed that SC has spent this time destroying Purple's Nexus, and manages to win with the other stick figures keeping him at bay. After winning, SC takes pity on Purple and lets him play another match with the other stick figures, this time with clones of him as the enemy.

Tropes:

  • Call-Back: The stick gang recalls their prior encounter with Purple in the first season of "AVM Shorts".
  • Chekhov's Skill: When everyone's trying out their skills once they first start up the game, one of Second Coming's skills just seems to give a flashy speed lines effect, underwhelming everyone. It turns out to increase attack speed, which comes in handy when Second Coming is racing to destroy Purple's crystal.
  • Demoted to Extra: The Animator only appears in the opening seconds, playing the game.
  • Idiot Ball: When Purple is attacking the Fighting Stick Figures' team crystal with a giant worm, he has it down to less than one hit's worth of health before the Second Coming starts attacking his team crystal. Despite (a) Second Coming being on the other end of the map, and (b) his damage rate (even accelerated) being insufficient to destroy the crystal in the time it would take Purple to finish off his own, Purple directs his worm to charge at Second Coming and stop him. Possibly subverted since Purple looks surprised when the worm turns around and starts heading towards the Second Coming, implying the worm went to attack the Second Coming on its own accord and Purple just couldn't stop it in time.
  • Truth in Television: Purple attacking the League of Legends icon results in his clones glitching out, causing the attacks of the Fighting Stick Figures to pass through them ineffectively. Anyone who as played an online game against a player on a slow connection (at least, in a game that don't slow down the battle entirely to compensate) will recognize the effect.
