Just after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Luo boarded the high-speed train back to Shanghai.
The network environment at home is indeed worrying. It is not a problem of money, but that the network cables buried in the wall during the renovation are too old. The only way to solve the problem is to renovate and bury the cables. The conditions are absolutely fine, but time does not allow.
On the high-speed train, Li Luo, who was bored, looked at the emails he had read many times.
The email sent by Riot Games detailed all the production details of Xayah and Rakan as well as the Easter eggs when the two came together.
Because this is the first championship skin of the LPL, Riot officials still take it very seriously.
Many designers participated in the design of this championship skin.
The ink-style color fits Xia Luo’s skill and special effects very well.
Xia's Q skill is to throw out two black and white ink-colored feather arrows. When the arrows cut through the air, they will leave a shadow trail in the air.
The barbs that fit it are more distinctive. When the barbs pull the feather back, there will be ink dots with a dragging feeling at the original landing point of the feather.
It is difficult to achieve this. On the one hand, it must reflect the special effects, and on the other hand, it must not affect the casting mechanism of Xayah's skills.
In order to perfectly display it, Riot even used "E flash" to simulate it. After all, if the special effect of the ink dots is too vivid, it will cause Xayah to give the opponent more advance reaction time during E flash than the original skin.
In terms of balance in this aspect, Fist has a very good grasp of it.
When the W skill is turned on, the feather aperture hovering around Kasumi will appear as a black and white Yin Yang fish pattern. Although it is not particularly obvious, from the display of A, it can be felt that when W is turned on, it seems to be more beautiful than the original A.
Smoother.
As for the ultimate move, Feathers in the Sky is the real explosion of special effects. When Xia gets up and jumps high, the IG team logo drawn in ink will instantly appear under her feet, and this team logo will follow the feathers.
It turns into flowing liquid and is released at the feet of each feather.
Li Luo was really shocked when he saw this ultimate move.
In addition, the most focused part of the fist is undoubtedly the return to the city action.
A mobile team logo similar to the one used when the ultimate move is released will circle around Xayah the moment Xayah presses the callback button, and Xayah will move around in a small area around the circle of callback. Each time she moves, there will be a feather left behind.
Down.
When the eight-second recall time expired, as Xayah jumped high, a portal that looked like Ryze's ultimate move appeared from above Xia's head, although it was black and white.
After Xia entered the portal, she returned to the spring in an instant, and countless feathers gathered on Xia's body from the sky, turning into a cloak and scattering behind her.
Li Luo understood that the fist was making a return move to commemorate the shocking wave of cooperation between him and Ryze.
Ryze pathetically became a tool man.
Li Luo was very satisfied with all of this.
There was only one thing that bothered him.
That was the return to the city action that Xia made when she and Luo were together.
According to the original painting, the two would hug each other and return to the city together.
But the fists were too much. In the gif, Luo clearly felt his body pause when the two were together, and then he reached for Xia's waist and pulled out a gun from somewhere.
This gun is very recognizable.
At first glance, you can tell that this gun belongs to the fortune teller.
When Luo took out the gun, Xia's movements paused slightly. She took the gun from Luo's hand, and then threw it into the air in disgust.
A crack appeared, swallowing the gun inside. When Xia Luo returned to the city, a scope fell out of the space crack in the spring.
The recognition of this scope is also very high.
It is undoubtedly the sight on the spear that the fortune teller held up when he activated his ultimate move.
Li Luo, anyone who is not a fool can see what Riot Games’ intentions are.
It's nothing more than complaining that he treats his own hero, the fortune teller, as a tool.
Li Luo had reason to suspect that the designer who made this suggestion was the fortune teller.
Li Luo admitted this matter.
It’s a fact that I didn’t choose a fortune teller.
I can only see if there is a chance to make up for it later.
As for why I always take out this email to read...
Li Luo didn't know either.
But every time Li Luo reads this email, he can't help but smile, and the joy in his heart cannot be concealed.
After closing the email, Li Luo took another look at the version that was about to be installed on the Korean server.
The installation date is tomorrow.
Kai'Sa is also included in the version.
Various data of the first version of Kai'Sa have also been presented in the version.
Before rebirth, Li Luo could remember Kai'Sa's latest version of data.
This is not difficult for a top AD player who is sensitive to data.
When masters compete with each other, a dozen points or even a few points of damage may lead to errors in judgment.
Therefore, remembering the basic damage of the skill, and relying on calculations in the matchup to find the blood line that is enough to complete the matchup kill is a necessary process before forming muscle memory.
Kai'Sa can be said to be the most popular and most watched AD hero after 18 years. Judging from the situation before the rebirth, if an AD cannot play Kai'Sa, it would be too embarrassing to say that he can play AD.
Li Luo's proficiency with Kai'Sa has also reached an extremely terrifying level.
In Li Luo's view, when a hero reaches the point of "muscle memory", it is considered complete.
There is no need to calculate the detailed blood volume and damage, because the moment you choose to activate it, you already know "whether it can cause a kill".
The micro-manipulation of various details of the hero is also easy and smooth when connected, just like this is how it should be.
Even though he hasn't touched this hero for a while, the familiar feeling still arises when he sees Kai'Sa's various statistics.
In Li Luo's opinion, this first-generation version of Kai'Sa is not completely suitable for playing in the AP genre.
The bonus given by its numerical value is not enough to allow Kai'Sa to produce a high enough burst with her W skill.
Moreover, even if the evolved W skill hits an enemy, the cooldown reduction will only be reduced by 50%.
Before Kai'Sa's rebirth, this cooldown reduction has been enhanced to 70%.
The basic values are also slightly lower.
The numerical value of Kai'Sa's key output skill Q skill is also stronger than the actual version of the first generation.
In addition to the fact that the missile damage when additionally hitting the same target is 5% more than the version before Li Luo's rebirth, the feature of causing double damage to less than 35% of the minions is also higher than before Li Luo's rebirth.
Higher.
There is no obvious difference in the E skill.
The difference in R skills is huge.
The shield duration of Kasa's ultimate move now implemented in the first generation is 3 seconds.
Before Li Luo was reborn, this value had been cut to 2 seconds.
What is the concept of missing one third?
For AD, sometimes one second is enough to decide many things.
What really made Li Luo feel the biggest difference was the passive plasma damage.
The currently implemented version clearly states that the plasma lasting 4 seconds will cause an additional 7-12 points of additional magic damage.
When the number of plasma layers reaches four, the explosion caused by the next attack will also cause additional damage of 15%-20% (+2.5AP bonus) of the target's lost health.
Before Kai'Sa's rebirth, after undergoing numerous changes, her passive plasma bonus damage was only 4-10 points.
At the same time, the damage value of the detonated plasma has also reached a fixed 15% (+2.5ap).
It seems like there are only a few points.
But for League of Legends, this numerical gap is already quite exaggerated.
Judging from the skill data, it seems feasible for Kai'Sa to use AP.
However, Li Luo clearly knows that based on the equipment conditions of the current version, AD-style Kai'Sa is still the best way to build equipment.
Of course, nothing is absolute.
Li Luo has at least more than ten costume ideas for Kai'Sa in his mind.
This is his advantage.
But other players still need to explore.
In addition to Kai'Sa being implemented into the version, there is another change in the current version that makes Li Luo wonder if Riot Games has ulterior motives.
Fist... strengthened the fortune teller.
It's still in the same version as the new hero Kai'Sa.
You must know that the fortune teller has just strengthened his ultimate move not long ago, and now it has been strengthened again.
While increasing the passive additional percentage attack power, the percentage value of the Q skill is also enhanced.
This is not the most critical thing. The most critical thing is that Riot has improved the spellcasting mechanism of Fortune Teller.
Prior to this, Destiny Master could only leave a mark on the target with basic attacks, E skill traps, and the first enemy hero hit by a friend that could provide the conditions for imprisonment for W.
But in this version of the Fortune Teller, all skills and even any form of damage can leave a mark on the target.
In this way, the functionality provided by Fatal Cadenza to the team is much stronger.
This is undoubtedly a big enhancement for fortune tellers!
After Li Luo closed the web page, he casually browsed some major forums.
Players in the forum have already begun to discuss this version update.
"Now I seriously doubt that Shine is Riot's biological son. This version is just like feeding it into my mouth. This version of Fortune Teller is already popular enough, and no one dares to let out his Fortune Teller. It's better for Riot.
It’s still getting stronger.”
"Who says it's not the case? Brother Ah Shui doesn't play this kind of hero very much. This is obviously weakening our IG and strengthening their EDG."
"Panda's official blog has made an announcement. Brother Luo will be broadcast tomorrow. I was originally looking forward to him playing a new hero, but now I suddenly want to see him play the fortune teller."
"Speaking of which, Brother Luo currently has a score of 777 in the Korean server and is currently ranked first in the Korean server with a score of 1,300. Do you think Brother Luo will be ranked first in the Korean server this year?"
"I don't think this feels right. Brother Luo doesn't seem to be interested in this kind of ranking."
"Brother Luo, let's start broadcasting soon! When I was little, I used to think that the Chinese New Year was very interesting, but now I feel it's getting more and more boring. I'm going to be stupid at home during the Chinese New Year."
“Thousands of people have written a letter begging Brother Luo to start broadcasting tonight!”
Seeing many topics discussing him, Li Luo shook his head and laughed, and then sent Meiko a WeChat message.
"Where are you?"
"We still have an hour to get on the plane."
"Okay, I'll wait for you at the airport."
Li Luo responded.
Meiko on the other side sent an OK expression.
Li Luo looked at the time and saw that it would take about an hour and a half to get to the magical capital.
After arriving at the station, Li Luo walked out of the high-speed rail station and saw Li Zhe waving to him not far away.
"Happy New Year, Brother Li."
Li Luo walked over with a smile and stretched out his hand to Li Zhe.
Seeing Li Luo like this, Li Zhe was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cursed: "Get out of here, I gave you a red envelope during the Chinese New Year."
Li Luo joked: "The red envelopes on the mobile phone have different meanings from the red envelopes in reality."
"You have no money. You, a billionaire, want a red envelope from me, a working man. You are not ashamed."
The two got into the car talking and laughing.
There is still quite a long distance from Hongqiao to Pudong Airport.
From the conversation, Li Luo learned that the staff responsible for picking up and dropping off the team members at the base had not yet gone to work, and Li Zhe happened to be idle today, so he came to pick them up.
Li Luo and Meiko were the first to return to the base, and the others would arrive after the eighth day of the first lunar month.
This was decided unanimously by Li Luo and Meiko after communicating with each other.
The next schedule will be more severe.
Before that, Li Luo and Meiko need to work together more.
And Li Luo also planned to finish the 25 hours of broadcasting every month in two or three days.
This length of time may seem short, but it is already the limit for busy Li Luo.
Take advantage of the offseason to finish early and finish early, and score a wave of points by the way.
Recently, the LCK league has started, and some post-game interviews at the end of the game have been circulated on the Internet. The KZ team, which has been strengthened by Peanut, is quite crazy when it comes to LPL, saying that it will regain its place in M privately and wash away the shame of last year.
.
In addition, there is a wave of bans on LPL player accounts in the Korean server from time to time, and the top 20 players on the list are all occupied by LCK players.
Regarding Li Luo, last year's world champion, the Korean server still retains some shame.
If Li Luo is banned, their faces will indeed look bad if word spreads about this.
In addition, the selection for the Asian Games is approaching, and the Koreans attach great importance to this selection. They also know that someone above is watching and do not want to make the matter a big deal at this juncture.
In this case, Li Luo felt that there was no need to be polite.
…
When they arrived at Meiko from the airport, they saw that Meiko was holding two suitcases in addition to a suitcase. Li Luo and Li Zhe hurried over to help.
"What is this? Has it been restocked?"
Li Zhe looked at the two cardboard boxes that Meiko brought and said dumbfounded.
"Some mushrooms are not cheap. I will make two native chickens to stew. It will be very beautiful."
Meiko chuckled.
His family is in Yunnan, and these are indeed specialties.
Then Meiko looked at Li Luo, looked her over and said, "Why do you seem to have lost weight when others gain three pounds during the holidays?"
"Maybe I'm visiting relatives. Come on, get in the car and talk."
Li Luo picked up Meiko's suitcase and put it in the trunk, and the three of them returned to the base.
Most people in the base are still on vacation.
Even Abu hasn't come yet.
For Li Luo and Meiko, they miss League of Legends a lot after taking such a long break.
This is the game League of Legends.
If I play it every day, I will get very annoyed if I get cheated too much. Sometimes I will be so angry that I just uninstall it and swear that I never want to play it again and be so angry.
But if you don’t play for a while, you’ll come back again under strange circumstances and play a few games... Well, it’s really delicious.
If you don't really love it, no matter how high your level is, it will be difficult to become an excellent professional player.
Because of this, the life of professional players mostly revolves around League of Legends. Even if they have other interests and hobbies, most of them are "sleeping in the second dimension".
That night, Li Luo and Meiko entered the Korean server in double queue, but when they returned to the base, it was already late. After playing a few games, the Korean server entered maintenance.
Li Zhe took the two of them to have a hot pot meal in a bungalow, and Li Luo slept happily until noon the next day.
After briefly washing up, Li Luo knocked on Meiko's door.
Two o'clock in the afternoon is Li Luo's live broadcast time.
He has to debug the equipment an hour in advance to make sure there is no problem with the equipment.
Li Zhe, the manager, was like a logistics supervisor. He ordered food for the two of them after they got up.
At about one o'clock, Li Luo was already sitting in front of the computer, with Meiko beside him. Both of them had updated the Korean server.
"The cooking lady hasn't come back yet, so I'll just take it easy for the next two days and eat some takeout."
Li Zhe said after walking into the room carrying takeaway food.
"No matter where you are, I'm not aggrieved at all."
When meiko thought about the food in the base, she inexplicably began to miss the way the school cafeteria looked like when she was in school.
"Although, I also suggest that we should find someone to cook. If that doesn't work, I'll pay for it?"
Li Luo said jokingly.
To be fair, Li Luo felt that he was not a very picky eater.
The base has already had a new cook, and the food quality has improved a lot compared to before.
But compared to other clubs, EDG's food is indeed a bit sloppy.
"I don't know what's going on. It feels like the aunties who come to cook at our base have been given a negative buff."
Li Zhe spread his hands.
After eating, Li Luo took out a bottle of Coca-Cola from the refrigerator at the base, took a sip, squinted his eyes, and burped comfortably.
Li Luo usually drinks tea, but tea is a diuretic. It is better to go to the toilet less often during the live broadcast, so as not to be messed up by Shaduo fans.
After going to the restroom in advance, Li Luo sat in front of the computer, logged into Hanbok and the live broadcast room, and started the live broadcast.
The live broadcast room was already in uproar.
Seeing Li Luo appear in front of the camera, a large barrage of comments and gifts instantly went up.
"Happy New Year, brothers."
Li Luo waved his hand to the camera: "Although I have already posted on Weibo on the New Year's Day, I feel it would be better to wish everyone in person."
"Brother Luo is so considerate. I was so touched that I decided to follow it... Oh, I'm sorry, I already followed it and accidentally clicked cancel."
"Can the anchor live broadcast more every month?"
"Do you know how I came here during your absence?!"
"Damn it, in the new year, the anchor is so handsome again, even if he is compared to me, he is not far behind."
"Get out of the way, my urine is yellow, let me wake him up!"
"What do the anchors think of Kai'Sa as a hero?"
"Yesterday I saw the anchor's score was still 777, but today it's 844. Why wasn't the three-game winning streak started last night?"
"Why don't you maintain the score of 777? Do you no longer love our factory?"
The numerous barrages that swept through made Li Luo dumbfounded.
"Ka'Sa hero is very comprehensive in terms of data and skill form, but you still have to play it to know the details. Today I will give you a wave of points."
After Li Luo finished speaking, he pulled Meiko into the room.
At this moment, countless Korean professional players have entered the queue.
For Korean professional players, whoever can grasp the first-hand version of the information will be one step ahead of others.
After all, the involution of the LCK is much more serious than that of the LPL.
Li Luo and Meiko quickly lined up.
The two of them are on the red side.
However, on the first floor on the blue side, Kai'Sa was directly selected.
"Pity."
Li Luo was not surprised by this phenomenon.
Kai'Sa's version data and skill form make even ordinary players aware of the importance of this hero. How can professional players not realize it?
Although at this stage everyone is practicing heroes and exploring.
But for professional players, scoring is secondary. Being able to train a hero as quickly as possible through high-intensity duels is the real goal of the players.
point?
How many players really care about points?
So Li Luoben wasn't particularly concerned about whether he could get Kai'Sa today.
But Li Luo can be sure that Kai'Sa's bp rate today will be frighteningly high.
"What do we get?"
Meiko looked at the other person and said after finalizing Kaisha.
"Nvtan, I'm German."
Li Luo smiled.
Some heroes naturally restrain Kai'Sa.
German is one of them.
Although Li Luo's Delaiwen is not up to the level of his unique skills, it is enough to beat the novice Kai'Sa.
At this moment, Li Luo noticed a message on the barrage.
The opposite ad is deft.
Meiko noticed this barrage and had a strange expression.
Sure enough, when both parties entered the article reading interface, deft's ID was clearly visible.
Think about it, professional players don't care about points, but other teammates do.
If this player wasn't strong enough, Kai'Sa would probably appear directly above the ban position.
The emergence of deft has continued to increase the popularity of live broadcast rooms.
Li Luo has already played against quite a few Korean AD players.
The bang was beaten into a push bang.
The ruler was beaten into the ruler.
The Rat King was also disgusted during the All-Star Game.
Although a game means nothing, if you lose, you lose, and these three people did not find excuses or reasons to excuse themselves.
Deft, as one of the top AD players in Korea in the early days, has played in the LPL for two more years, and is also Meiko's old partner. The two sides lined up together in this match, and the show's effect has undoubtedly been full.
"hello."
As soon as I entered the game, deft and meiko started interacting on the public screen.
Li Luo glanced at the chat box and smiled without saying a word.
The audience on the barrage noticed Li Luo's smile.
In fact, Li Luo was originally uninteresting.
I just simply find it interesting.
But this expression was misinterpreted by countless sands.
Especially... when the two sides faced each other at level 4 and there were a lot of kills.
Deft's Kai'Sa is someone you can tell at a glance is someone who is just starting out and trying to figure it out.
Kai'Sa's hands are not long, the female tank is strong in the lane, and deft's passerby support cannot cooperate well with him. This also leads to the fact that when deft makes a mistake and is caught, his teammates do not help him resolve it in time.
Being attacked by the duo of Nutan and Delavin, one can imagine what the final outcome will be.
Li Luo chopped off Kasha's head with an axe.
The glory points turned into gold coins and exploded. Although it was not much, the visual and auditory impact was quite significant.
And this is just the beginning.
Draven's natural advantage against Kai'Sa, coupled with Draven's snowballing speed as a hero, makes the already disadvantaged deft matchup even more difficult.
In addition, the jungler on Li Luo's side also regarded the deft of hero training as a breakthrough point, and frequently targeted the bottom lane, so that the second tower of the bottom lane was already broken in 12 minutes of game time.
At this time, if deft's teammates come to support, it is just a gift.
It only took 15 minutes and 57 seconds for Deft to surrender directly, with five votes in favor.
Li Luo's 7/0 Delaiwen can no longer be restrained, and it only takes one knife to kill Kaisha.
It is worth mentioning that during the duel, Li Luo also used his E skill to interrupt Kai'Sa's ultimate move. This operation also caused countless viewers in the live broadcast room to click 666 on the screen.
"This German is so cruel, one knife after another deft."
"This is the new hero...it feels too weak and is completely harmless."
"After watching Deft's Kai'Sa, I decided to buy a Delaiwen."
"I really don't understand why I have to brag about shine every day. Last time I met him in queue, five of us were going to outflank him, but he made two of us run away."
"Shine is really not that strong. When I faced him, he suppressed me by 6 knives. Not to mention, the second wave of soldiers came."
"I agree, Shine is actually just like that. When I soloed with him, he did more last hits than me, so he couldn't kill me solo? Fortunately, I was smart and never came out of the spring."
"Those in front of you, please wake up, you can't wait for Brother Luo..."
…
In the next three ranking games, Li Luo either couldn't get Kai'Sa and was banned, or was beaten first by the opponent.
But without exception, every time the opponent takes Kai'Sa, Li Luo will definitely take Deliawen or the enhanced Fortune Teller.
No matter which one it is, Li Luo and Meiko can easily penetrate the bottom lane when facing Kai'Sa who is not skilled enough.
Counting the three ranking games last night, Li Luo and Meiko have reached a terrifying seven-game winning streak.
Li Luo's score has also reached 1,000 points. The bonus points of the super account are destined to increase very quickly during the winning streak.
Meiko's score has also reached the level of 600 points.
"Here? Did I enter the wrong live broadcast room? Isn't the live broadcast room the promised special show for Kai'Sa?"
A friend who just entered the live broadcast room asked a question.
KaSa's special performance is Li Luo's title today.
Many people have asked this question since it was launched.
And the viewers who have been squatting in the live broadcast room for a long time have already sorted out how to answer these questions.
"It's okay, it's a Kai'Sa special. Basically, every game has Kai'Sa, but it's on the opposite side..."
"Hey, brother Luo, aren't you going to reach the top twenty in the Korean server today?"
"There's nothing I can do if I can't get Kai'Sa. There are several red cubes in a row. It's poisonous."
"Just in time for the last wave of points, Bangzi has been so disgusting recently. He screams there every day and even gets his account banned."
"Speaking of which... this one seems to be deft again. The world is too small. I can encounter three out of five games."
…
At the same time, in South Korea, inside the base of the KT team.
After deft finalized Kai'Sa, looking at the opponent who picked Delavin again, he suddenly felt the urge to quit the game.
He came to practice heroes with great interest and ended up winning one out of five games.
Still win.
This undermined his confidence in the hero.
deft even wondered if it was because the hero Kai’Sa was too hot.
ps: Come on, come on, brothers can join a group to chat and make fun of each other. There is a portal in the introduction of the work.
