Chapter 173 The designer teaches you how to play the game!
"At that time, iboy had been training in your EDG for a year, and I had been playing ranked in IG for a year." Jack defended himself: "Can that be the same?"
"Prove yourself in the summer, I will be the Rookie of the Year this year!"
The other party was full of energy, and Li Mufan also showed a happy smile like an old father.
Taking advantage of the double queue time, he opened the latest version update content; the playoffs and MSI were going back and forth for more than a month, and although he took the time to look at the updates, he had no time to study the latest two versions.
"I might be cheating tonight!" Li Mufan was flipping through the webpage while inoculating himself against the barrage: "You also know that the top lane line is the most popular line outside of the jungle!"
< br>
"I was playing MSI version 7.8 a few days ago. Both 7.9 and 7.10 have been installed for half a month, and 7.11 will be launched the day after tomorrow!"
Three major version changes, it is difficult to adapt to it for a while.
Moreover, version 7.9, which was the first to go online, was a mid-season update that was a major overhaul along with the pre-season update. The content of the update was so large that it could not be compared with the small updates that are usually done on weekdays.
"Tank update?" Li Mufan flipped through the web page and muttered to himself: "This is stealing from my brother's house!"
In the Spring Split, before his warriors were fully developed, he had a Titan in his left hand and a Tree in his right hand, all relying on a few tank heroes to mix things up on the top lane.
As a result, the Titans were cut down one after another in the middle of the spring split, and were directly cut back to the bottom lane as a support. Now the big tree has been directly reworked!
The ultimate skill has been reworked from area damage reduction to a large-scale group control skill that summons Vineman. It has less passive blood regeneration in the early stage. The damage of the E skill has been increased and a mechanism of detonating in the grass can explode three times has been added.
Generally speaking, the consumption and control capabilities are enhanced, but the frankness is greatly weakened!
"Are you trying to drive the big tree to the auxiliary position?" Li Mufan asked doubtfully. There is group control and consumption, and the Q skill can also cause knockback. Isn't this a proper auxiliary hero configuration?
The next changes to the two tank heroes Zach and Piggy are even more heavyweight, basically equivalent to a complete redo!
Pig Girl's two group control skills, Q and ultimate, have been changed to single-target control, but it also makes up for the E skill's four layers of [permanent freezing field] active stun; the passive 'Pigskin' effect is added, and the smoothness Greatly enhanced, you can have super strength without equipment!
"Can the passive layers of Pig Girl's E skill [Permanent Frozen Field] be superimposed on melee teammates?"
"Then what kind of crocodile-leopard combination or jungle spider is needed? A pig girl will be invincible in a fight with the early stage cooperation!"
You have to control, you have to do damage, you have to do damage, and the speed of clearing the wild is completely worthy of comparison with Leopard Girl!
What’s even more exaggerated is that even if this new version of Pig Girl can’t get much economic benefits in the jungle position, she can still withstand the first round of team battles with her passive ‘pig skin’ in the later stage!
Isn’t this much better than the weak Leopard Girl and Spider in the later stage?
[Stop talking, my brothers have been tortured terribly by the pig girl during this period of time in the rankings! 】
[Pig Girl’s damage in the jungle is exaggerated now! Can a tank hero defeat a blind monk or a prince in a level 3 duel in this river? This is very inappropriate! 】
[Speaking of seconds is a bit exaggerated. My friend has recently specialized in playing Wild Boar Girl. At level 3, use Q and W to hit two layers of passive. Then level A and then use E skill. It takes almost two seconds to kill a blind monk after one set.]
[Blind monk: I didn’t mess with you]
Li Mufan looked at the barrage in amusement. From the personal experience of these people, Pig Girl is indeed a super model now.
"Looks like the version of Dirty Dancing is coming!"
Just kidding, raising pigs in the wild is not just a joke, the factory director’s pig girl really had something to say two years ago!
And in terms of the compatibility between the hero mechanism and the player's own personality, the revised Pig Girl can attack and defend in the jungle, and can resist and open in team battles. It is obviously very suitable for the factory director.
He will not force the factory director to invade like the male gun leopard girl does; nor will he be chased and beaten like Xiaoju Nunu when he is selected in the wild area.
Although today's Pig Girl is a tank, anyone who dares to enter his wild area must consider whether his small blood volume is enough to defeat Pig Girl!
And what the designers did most is that in order to emphasize the changes they made in the mid-season version, they cut down the most popular jungler, Lee Sin, and even the auxiliary jungler Cuishen in version 7.10!
Use this to promote the ascendance of the tank jungler!
This is another typical case of designers teaching you how to play games, but Li Mufan is not surprised.
League of Legends is able to keep players fresh because it makes major changes every once in a while.
Even from the current perspective, some changes will always be attacked by players who are relatively affected at the beginning, such as the original Sword Princess rework; but in the long run, it is these changes that ensure the vitality of the alliance.
Looking down, Zach has basically been reworked. His ultimate move has been changed to [Dynamic Pinball], which can fly enemy units around him to a designated location within a few hundred yards.
It seems that compared to the previous ultimate move that bounces randomly and has a knock-up effect, the new version of the ultimate move is more powerful, comparable to the blind monk's roundhouse kick!
However, the actual operation is much more difficult; in addition, the E skill crouching jump has deleted the mechanism of returning 50% of the CD when canceling the skill. Compared with the first two big trees and pig girls, the new version of Zac seems to be the weakest. of that.
Li Mufan thought about Zach for a moment and then threw it aside.
The designer's idea is beautiful, advanced, and handsome, but it may not be an easy task to make it effective.
It is said that it is a tank update, so naturally in addition to the hero rework, there is also a rework of tank series equipment involved.
Newly added equipment: adaptive helmet and gargoyle plate armor!
The former is a piece of magic resistance equipment with a special effect: when receiving magic damage from a skill or effect, all subsequent magic damage from that skill or effect will be reduced by 15% for 4 seconds.
When Li Mufan saw this effect, his scalp went numb!
Directly reduce damage by 15%, and then interact with resistance damage reduction, etc. Do regular players like Syndra, Clockwork, and Ryze still have room to play?
In addition, the common fire men in the passerby game, the rare ice birds, etc. are all restrained by the adaptive helmet!
"How can the middle mage still play?" Li Mufan raised his right hand and rubbed his chin, thinking non-stop in his head.
Of course, he is not a mid laner and does not like to play a mage.
The direction of his thinking is, if the priority of the mage in the middle lane is greatly reduced, then what kind of ecological chain should the middle lane be now.
First of all, Galio's strength must have been increased invisibly. After all, this hero is originally an anti-magic special attack. Add an adaptive helmet and the mage hero will feel sick even just looking at it.
Secondly, if you don’t want to play tank heroes in the middle, then AD heroes will be a good choice.
Because Li Mufan noticed that during the update of tank equipment, designers were paving the way for new equipment as always.
After the two new pieces of tank equipment are online, in addition to the tank equipment of the Zealot that interacts with Pig Girl's Pigskin Passive and Gargoyle Plate Armor, the others include Sunfire Equipment, Slag Jungle Knife, and Invigorating Armor. , Dead Man's Plate, Langton's Omen and other older generation tank equipment are all weakened!
Li Mufan first thought that Lucian is a counter-attack hero in the top lane, specializing in crispy and bulky top laners, and generally does not have the opportunity to make the first move; but in the middle lane, the designer has really paved all the paths for him. Got it!
The environment of mage heroes is worrying, and tank heroes are all dead souls of Lucian.
What, you said that Lucian’s output environment is poor due to his short hands in the later stage?
Changes are coming!
There is another item in the tank equipment update of version 7.9. The synthesis method of the guardian angel, that is, the resurrection armor, has changed. It has been changed from magic resistance + armor to great sword + armor. It is now positioned as a physical output defense armor!
This means that Lucian can add a piece of resurrection armor after the three-piece or four-piece set, and his output will not be reduced much, and he can effectively improve his output environment!
"Damn, this change makes me feel a little uncomfortable!" Jack lamented in his voice.
"Lulu has been weakened a lot." Li Mufan quickly found the source in the update: "You still have to pay more attention to your team battle positioning. You can't just rely on playing Lulu in the field to protect you!"
Jack's KDA is very closely related to whether or not his sister plays Lulu. This has been greatly confirmed in the playoffs and MSI.
"Hey, isn't this just trying to do my best to do damage?" Jack began to say harshly: "Then since I am in the AD position and eat up the entire team's economy, I can't move out of a team battle in ten seconds and move in eight seconds, right? And then die every second of output? ”
"Although my KDA is average, my damage is still very high!"
What he said is not wrong. Although Li Mufan dominated the MSI, but looking at the data carefully, Jack's damage ratio is still high, and his damage ratio has not been caused by the fact that the team has an excellent top laner. than forced down.
"That's true, you can barely do this!" Li Mufan nodded in affirmation.
In the final decisive battle with SKT, whether Jack used the functional AD Ice or the damage-dealing Varus and Big Mouth, his output was good.
Especially Varus's three passives, Blight and Explosion, the interplay between skills and level A is very smooth!
Hearing Li Mufan's praise, Jack was also very happy. He scrolled through his live broadcast and replied when he saw someone who was interested: "What are you talking about? Verus Ping's A interspersed skill is really nothing to brag about. As long as you have the skills! If the professional guy in the bottom lane can’t even hit Varus passively, then I suggest you retire as soon as possible!”
The review of version updates is still going on. Below the tank equipment updates is the AD equipment update. In order to adapt to the upcoming tank league, the designer has some conscience and strengthened all the AD equipment!
"Endless directly lowers the price by two hundred yuan? My buddy's policewoman is instantly invincible!" Jack cheered excitedly!
It just so happens that EDG is already very good at the female police system, and this time it has really strengthened it to the point.
In addition, the two must-have equipment for female police officers, the Cannon and Luana's Hurricane, have also been slightly enhanced. This wave of Riot Games seems to be really preparing to send female police officers onto the field.
Scroll further down, and there are also changes to auxiliary equipment; this mid-season version update has a huge impact, and almost all of the three major categories of auxiliary salary equipment can be regarded as a small redo.
The first is the change to the Spellstealing Blade. After receiving a tribute of 650 gold coins, the effect of the upgraded auxiliary equipment was changed to provide a large amount of movement speed after the hero skill hits.
This certainly improves the survivability of the auxiliary hero, but compared to the previous damage bonus effect, it is somewhat unclear in its positioning.
When supporting players such as Zyra, Gunslinger, and Karma are selected on the field, the team's fundamental intention is to allow the supporting position to bear a certain amount of damage output, while at the same time using a lot of energy in the bottom lane to gain a laning advantage.
As for survival, that is something players should improve through their own strength.
If the effect of Spell Stealing Blade is changed to life-saving, it would be putting the cart before the horse for support like Zyra!
But this is a good thing for EDG, because they are not a core team playing in the bottom lane. Even if they have to protect the bottom lane, it will be a combination of Draven + hard support.
"The changes to the Holy Shield are interesting!" Jack's eyes skipped the Spell Stealing Blade in the previous article and came to the next change that was closely related to them.
Relic Shield is the tank-type support choice, and its main attribute is to increase life.
Its change is quite simple. It is a simple and crude way to add an extra layer of shield to the auxiliary after the upgrade to increase the tankiness!
"Not bad, not bad. Niu Niu and Sunshine Girl have been greatly strengthened. Let Tian Tian practice his skills quickly." Jack took off his earphones and shouted to the other end of the training room: "Yu Tian! Tian Tian!"
Because he joined late, Jack's seat was far away from the girls, so it was often time for Jack to use his loud voice.
"What are you doing? Playing ranked games!" Mei Qian impatiently took off her headphones.
"Nofe sent me a message, asking you to practice your skills quickly!" Jack knew that he was in a low position in the team, so he directly lied about the military situation.
When he thought about the version with forced assistance in the future, Jack felt excited.
This not only means that Delevingne will have more opportunities to play, but also that the bottom lane is bound to be full of friction; coincidentally, he likes to fight!
But it is a pity that Meikou's hard support is much worse than his soft support. If you want to achieve the same laning effect as before, you will definitely need to practice more frequently.
That's why Jack was busy calling him.
"I'm practicing right now. I'm more concerned about version changes than you are. I haven't checked the updates until I've been back for two or three days. You two are somewhat slacking off!"
When Jack heard that his sister was playing with the cow, he jumped down from the chair and ran over to watch.
Looking at the record of 0-7-2, it’s almost amazing!
"I'll give you a drop!" Jack hissed: "You'd better practice first!"
When he thought about the possibility that he would end up with this bull-headed partner, he couldn't help but feel a chill running down his back. The energy he had just gained because of the version that was good for him had dropped a lot.
The last important update is Rift Pioneer.
As a creature that exists side by side with the dragon in the upper half of the map, the Rift Pioneer's presence before this was extremely weak.
Li Mufan played a whole season plus a whole MSI. In total, he played 70 or 80 games. The number of games he won against the Pioneers was probably no more than one hand!
It's enough to see how little attention the previous Canyon Pioneers had!
In order to increase the intensity of the confrontation in the first half and give the team that fell behind in the early stage an item that can be used to exchange resources with Xiaolong, Riot has launched a drastic update to Vanguard!
Nowadays, after the Rift Herald is killed, it will turn into the Eye of the Herald. The killing team can pick it up and summon the Rift Herald for their own use!
When the vanguard is summoned, it will immediately launch an attack on the enemy's lines and defense towers!
The summoned vanguard's health and attack power all depend on the current in-game level, and its damage to the defense tower depends on its maximum health.
"It seems that the closer to twenty minutes, the stronger the Eye of the Pioneer you get!" Jack quickly came to a conclusion: "Obviously, the closer to twenty minutes, the more HP the Pioneer has, and twenty minutes The vanguard will then transform into a baron.”
There is nothing wrong in saying that, but obviously the alliance is not a simple game of right and wrong.
“But if I win the vanguard early in the early stage, I can help the team grab the first-blood tower.” Li Mufan explained to him: “In addition, whether a team’s early lead can be maintained is also a question. , but after a while it was stolen by the opponent. Isn’t this a pure loss?”
"That's true." Jack nodded, realizing that he still thought a little less: "You old bastards are just too smart!"
At this time, there was a clang in my ears, indicating that the rankings were finally matched.
"Damn, I was assigned a support position!" Li Mufan discovered Hua Dian as soon as he entered: "Forget it, just come and assist Dashu!" (End of Chapter)
