Chapter 140 [The World Championship is coming! 】
Wang Boqin was also very sleepy, but as a data analyst and assistant coach, he still managed to gather his energy to explain the version changes to the team members.
When Riot Games launched version 6.18 on the US test server on September 6, it positioned it as the version used in this global finals.
There are actually not many changes.
It does not involve the rise of the mage, the elemental dragon, and the major floating changes that change the ecology of line-changing tactics in versions 6.9 and 6.15.
The main adjustments to hero values in versions 6.16-6.18 are nothing more than changes to popular heroes on the field.
First, hit the road.
With the weakening of teleportation, support heroes such as Shen and Captain are too strong. Professional leagues in almost all major regions focus on hemispheric or global support.
As for the corresponding supporting mid-lane hero, Yanqiao's Q skill no longer causes an additional 50% damage to minions, the damage of the E skill is weakened at all levels, and the ability to clear minions is reduced.
Lissandra's health growth has been reduced from 84 to 75.
Corresponding to the values of other mid-lane mage heroes, the advantage of pushing and roaming is completely lost.
This is also equivalent to once again triggering Riot's determination to cut off supporting heroes and continue to enhance online confrontation.
There are only a few heroes that can support, and they mainly work around the bottom lane, which itself is not in line with Riot's original intention of changing the version.
Therefore, these supporting heroes have been severely cut. Basically, you can’t see these two heroes in this year’s World Championship.
Chu Ge paid more attention to Jace.
In the version of the World S6 World Championship before the time travel, Jess was definitely the top single brother, and even Panson had to step aside.
However, due to the emergence of Chu Ge, using Jess to wreak havoc on the LPL on the road, other teams automatically bought a house for the second battalion commander in the ban position when facing IG.
This is worth thinking about for designers of fist balance values.
But in fact
The designer who balanced the values didn't even watch the LPL league, and continued to strengthen Jace without thinking. Instead, he weakened the sword girl who hadn't appeared in a long time.
Chu Ge couldn't laugh or cry while listening to Tabe's analysis.
Does he know the designer who weakened Sword Girl, but Chunli, the future boss of FPX, just doesn't know if Irelia's prototype character has offended Chunli.
Jace is too strong, let's weaken the sword girl.
Wang Boqin looked at his top laner with a smile, and his sultry eyes sent chills down Chu Ge's spine, and he cursed him as a gay in his heart.
"The mana cost of Jace's E skill in hammer form has been changed from 40 to 40 at all levels, and the first basic attack bonus of the ultimate move to switch the hammer has been changed from AP to AD!"
The mana cost of the E skill in hammer form is reduced, and it doesn't do much to strengthen Jace.
For the second battalion commander who is purely armor-piercing, if the mana cost of the E skill in the cannon form is reduced, he can fire cannons frequently.
It's a pity that the fist feints.
But the second enhancement is that the second battalion commander has returned to his status as a council member.
Have you met AP Jayce?
Jace, who is originally a pure AD player, has 40% AD extra damage on the first hit of his ultimate move, which means his kill line is higher.
Wang Cheng's face drooped, "We AD players are really dissatisfied. We were just toys for the top laner, but in the end we got stronger."
"Would you like to play or not?"
"It's not bad for us," Yuan Shanyan explained. "After all, we can take Jayce, but it's a pain for RNG and EDG. They still use the old tactics. Facing the LCK team, they can only buy Jayce a house."< br>
"Ike has also been weakened." Rookie spread his hands, "Didn't this pull off their underwear?"
The three-piece LPL anti-pressure set has been weakened, which is undoubtedly a huge blow.
"These are the changes to the heroes in the upper unit." Wang Boqin turned the PPT on the tactical blackboard to the next page, "Then we will talk about the changes in the jungle position."
The excavator and wine barrel, which have the highest version priority, have been significantly weakened. Versions 6.17 and 6.18 have increased the CD duration of the excavator's ultimate move and E skill respectively, and the growth magic resistance and basic armor have also been weakened.
Basically the excavator can no longer play.
"It's okay, it's not me who was weakened anyway," Gao Zhenning took a sip of Coke and smiled, "This wave has weakened my factory director! By the way, isn't the blind monk strengthened? He should be able to enter the World Championship."
Wang Boqin nodded.
The main reason why Blind Sin cannot play is that the recovery effect of his W skill was cut into the main artery by his fist, which caused a significant decrease in the confrontation ability in the jungle.
A hero who originally needs to play in the early and mid-term, but in the jungle encounters heroes such as Leopard Girl and Male Spear and can't win, then he still plays Kunmao.
Therefore, Riot has increased the second-stage recovery effect of Lee Sin's W by 5%, enhancing the ability to fight in the wild.
For LPL junglers, Lee Sin is their basic skill and the existence of their underpinnings. Even though Gao Zhenning has just switched to the jungle position for half a year.
You have to practice regularly.
It has nothing to do with the version, it’s about the underwear.
"You can't play with horses, excavators, and wine barrels anymore," Yuan Shanyan reminded, "Gao Zhenning, you still have to train Olaf, otherwise you won't be able to deal with the blind monk."
"There are also male spearmen, leopard girls and mantises," Wang Boqin added, "The tasks are heavy and the time is tight. Prince Ning, you have to work overtime recently."
"OKOK."
As for the middle lane, when Ice Girl, Card and Rock Bird are unable to play, Rookie's hero pool is indirectly strengthened.
In particular, the clockwork has been strengthened, which is undoubtedly a huge good thing for Song Yijin, who has two goals and one girl.
In addition, bulky heroes like Victor can return to the game. In the S5 period, Song Yijin Victor was more powerful than Huang Mao Doinb's three hands.
That is the hero proficiency that can lift IG into the World Championship!
"Bot lane. We're in trouble."
Wang Boqin frowned slightly, "The three heroes of Ice, Jhin and Sivir have been greatly weakened, but it does not actually affect the strength. After all, their functional priority will be higher."
"And now Zyra and Karma have become mainstream auxiliary heroes, which can completely make up for the lack of AD damage."
Wang Cheng frowned.
"EZ has been greatly enhanced in version 6.17, which is definitely a good thing for AD players who are good at EZ, but"
Tabe looked at his AD with a meaningful look, "Wangcheng, I have a copy of the EZ data here, which is a bit miserable."
In S5, EZ was used 2 times throughout the year, with a winning rate of 0%; in the 2016 Spring Split, it was used 3 times, with a winning rate of 0%; in the 2016 Summer Split, it was used 0 times.
To put it simply.
From Wangcheng’s debut to now, EZ’s hips are extremely stretched.
"Alas," Wang Cheng sighed, "I have been practicing more recently, but this hero is really difficult to play. Every time E goes up, he dies suddenly."
"It's not about practicing more!"
Wang Boqin's tone was a bit cold, "Find a way to improve EZ's practice in recent rankings. I will check your ranking records every day."
"If you don't want to face other teams, we must also ban EZ."
"Okay." Wang Cheng gritted his teeth and agreed. If it was Yuan Shanyan, he wouldn't have to listen, but he had begun to experience Tabe's methods. That's called cruelty.
Before the semi-finals, King Ning was obsessed with playing with shoes and participated in a training match. However, he was punished by Tabe and Gao Zhenning no longer dared to mess around.
How much has EZ been strengthened? Wang Cheng felt clear in his heart.
It's not that the skill damage has increased, but that the attack speed bonus of EZ's passive [Spell Energy Surge] has increased from 10% at all levels to 10/12/14% (at level 1/7/13).
Maximum attack speed bonus increased from 50% to 50/60/70% at all levels
This enhancement can allow EZ to return to the throne of the Smile Era.
why is that?
Passive attack speed bonus remains unchanged in the early stage.
The attack speed in the middle and late stages increases with the level. The highest value is 14% attack speed bonus per layer. EZ can be stacked up to five layers at the same time. In the later stage, the highest attack speed bonus for a passive is 70%.
What is this concept?
It's 30% less than Big Mouth's W skill, and Big Mouth's damage is still halved. It's not that EZ wants to equip equipment like Big Mouth. After all, it's not a hero.
EZ's explosive and continuous output capabilities have improved by more than one level. The only possibility is that the three-phase explosive flow EZ will inevitably rise.
"Baolan, the hero you need to practice recently." Wang Boqin continued to analyze, "If Zyra and Karma are both banned, the only hero who will be replaced is Nami."
"So your task is to train Nami."
Baolan nodded slowly.
As a Pokémon, after training Zyra, he lost his head. If he trained Nami again, he would probably have to randomly select a lucky one and throw it away.
"Can we play the new Kled in version 6.16?" Chu Ge raised his hand and asked, "Does it seem that the Gravedigger that was just reworked in version 6.18 is banned?"
Wang Boqin frowned.
Chu Ge's words reminded him.
In the recent training matches, everyone seemed not to be very enthusiastic about the hero Kled, but in fact, this hero is very good in the current version, both in terms of laning and support.
"You can't dig into the grave," Wang Boqin thought for a moment and then continued, "As for Kled, I will go back and study it. If I can get it, it would be a very good choice."
The next thing is the matter of head coach Mafa.
"Generally speaking, the strength of heroes is actually a follow-up addition to the 6.15 version. Riot has been doing these things in three consecutive versions."
"The linkage between the top lane and the middle lane has been weakened, and the early confrontation in the bottom lane will be greatly reduced, and the game will be divided into three parts!"
"Upper jungle, middle lane and bot lane," Yuan Shanyan walked to the tactical plan on Summoner's Rift and moved the magnet. "The top lane has the highest priority for affecting the situation, followed by the middle lane, and finally the bot lane."< br>
"In other words, the antagonism between the top and middle lanes will increase, and only the carnivorous jungle heroes can take advantage of the early stage and control the rhythm in their own hands!"
After hearing this analysis, Wang Boqin added, "In fact, it is a good thing for us. Among the three LPL teams, only RNG and us play in the middle and jungle, but we are the only ones who play in the middle and jungle."
There is no doubt about the laning ability of Chu Ge and Rookie. With the advantage of laning power, King Ning can mess up the opponent's jungle area.
If you can't beat them, just shake them. Your family will have no choice but to take the line under the tower.
Mafa nodded slowly.
"Judging from the data and the training matches between us and other competition regions, our advantages are still very obvious."
Xin Minsheng's translation sound fell into Wang Ning's ears, and he immediately laughed and said, "After all, it's not like I can't beat TSM. Bjergsen is really a pervert!"
“See the truth on the playing field!”
Chu Ge reminded, "Everyone is hiding them in the training matches, so there may be some heroes that haven't been brought out yet."
Version 6.18 has just been implemented.
For the long month-long global finals, participating teams not only compete for overall strength, but also compete for their respective team's learning ability. Who can master the version and adapt to the version can be the best.
The most typical example is the S12 championship team DRX.
From the bubbling round, the play-in round, the group stage to the final stage, we encountered popular teams time and time again. In the end, we defeated strong opponents every time, and finally defeated T1 and won the championship.
What's the reason?
Mature coaching team!
Do you expect Qian Jue, who has no punishment, to win the game with his unique skills, and the 26-year-old veteran bottom lane ADC to resist pressure and win the game?
The top eight teams have two teams chasing EDG three. The biggest problem lies in the training team, which has a single hero system and is completely confused by DRX's endless heroes.
This is the preparation of the tactical system and the interpretation of the understanding of the version. Their training team is still working hard to learn the version.
In the semi-finals, except Park Ze-won's poisonous milk.
Why can DRX still defeat the favorite GEN?
It's actually very simple.
In the 4 games, DRX's training team's tactics were aimed at the right-hand Chovy, inhibiting the linkage between him and the jungler, and completely turning him into a brush mid laner.
This is for players, just one of them.
The second is to use Little Peanut to not play Kindred, and use BP pressure to force GEN to get it. In the end, not only did it not have any effect, but it became a disadvantage.
This is also the version.
And in the finals.
DRX took advantage of the tactical system and tactics targeting the middle and top, and finally won completely.
To sum up.
DRX not only has a thorough understanding of the version, but is also ahead of it.
It would be useless for other teams not to learn during the one-month global finals. If they learn, they will easily be beaten by their own masters.
"That's it for today's tactical explanation," Zhu Songge nodded towards Mafa, "It's almost 10 o'clock, everyone should go back and rest early. We have an appointment with SKT to play a training match tomorrow."
In the last few days, everyone stayed in the hotel provided by Riot, playing training matches with other teams and studying the version.
Rarely go out, especially at night.
September 30th.
At 7 o'clock BJ time, S6 opening ceremony.
The lights inside the Bill Graham Municipal Auditorium are brilliant.
The more than 7,000 seats at the venue were packed, and the crazy North American audience cheered loudly.
In fact, for European and American audiences, they rarely pay attention to the competitions in their own divisions, that is, large-scale events such as the global finals, and they want to join in the fun.
This is also a bit similar to the World Cup that happens every four years. Many people don't even understand offside and insist on benchmarking themselves as die-hard fans.
In fact, privately, it's just for a few taels of silver.
On the huge screen in the auditorium, the blue countdown minutes and seconds are beating continuously, marking the official countdown to the S6 Global Finals.
With the sound of ding ding ding and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience above the stage, the last three seconds entered.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Asking for a monthly ticket!
