While Li Luo was working hard every day to repay his debt through live broadcasts, the 8.14 version following the Intercontinental Tournament also arrived.
For ordinary players, the enhancements and weakenings of various heroes in the version will not attract their concern. What they really care about is the second half of the title.
"IG champion skin is online!"
A few simple words once again set off hot searches in the e-sports circle and even on Weibo.
Please note that this is the first championship skin for the LPL region in the seven years since the development of League of Legends.
Anyone watching the game will more or less pay for the champion skin.
"Lao Li, you've made a fortune this time."
After meiko purchased a complete set of IG champion skins, she immediately opened the customization and took a look at Luo's skin special effects.
The unique ink style effect makes meiko envious.
Li Luo laughed.
After the championship skin is sold, the players will indeed receive a share.
But it is not certain when this share will be distributed to the players.
Li Luo vaguely remembered that before his rebirth, a certain player once complained about Riot's champion skin money, which had been delayed for a long time, from the end of the year to the next year, and from the middle of the second year to the end of the year. It was really a case of procrastination.
Performed to the extreme.
However, the effect of the champion skin produced this time is indeed excellent, and Li Luo is personally very satisfied.
"By the way, Lao Li, have you started live streaming today?"
Meiko seemed to remember something after exiting customization and asked.
"We're getting ready to drive, what's wrong?"
Li Luo looked at the latter's weird smile and vaguely seemed to realize something.
"Let's go, double row!"
"Uh... that's fine too."
"good."
After a while, Li Luo started broadcasting and started a double queue journey with Meiko.
The two of them chose Xia Luo in the first round.
The barrage also burst into laughter as the two heroes were finalized.
"Baolan fainted in the toilet from crying."
"Good guy, the owner of this champion skin hasn't even lined up with Brother Luo yet, and Meiko has already taken over the magpie's nest."
"Fuck, Lian!"
"I didn't have a deep feeling about it before, but now I realize that Meiko is not only a white lotus, but also a green tea."
The players kept teasing each other, but Meiko didn't care about it. The players in the circle had a good relationship, and it was normal for them to feel disgusted with each other.
At the same time, inside the IG base.
"Good boy, Brother Luo is now in the queue with Meiko. Wang Liuyi, it's time to show off his real skills. Go and invite Brother Luo to double queue. I support you."
Prince Ning, who was browsing the web, raised his eyebrows when he saw the pop-up window in the upper right corner. He then turned to look at Baolan not far away and shouted.
"The champion skin is not his, so I'm not in a hurry."
Bao Lan spoke slowly.
As early as the last intercontinental competition, Baolan realized that Meiko was capable of causing trouble.
But it doesn't matter.
He doesn't care.
The signature on the champion's skin clearly says his name and cannot escape.
As for Prince Ning's proposal, the attentive Baolan rejected it. If Li Luo went to double queue at this time, would Li Luo agree or not?
No matter what choice Li Luo makes, he will be watched by editors of major media.
Meiko can't disgust him.
The cooperation between Li Luo and Meiko is very good.
However, Xia Luo, the bottom lane duo, only played for a while.
The content of the 8.14 version update is quite rich.
Because in this version, six adcs have been strengthened.
Among them are Jinx, Rat, Cannon, Varus, Vayne and Sivir.
However, Luo has been slightly weakened in the current version.
Ordinary players won't care about this weakening, but it will inevitably attract attention in the professional arena.
Li Luo and Meiko played a few more games to experience the enhancements of these heroes.
Among these six heroes, the one that Li Luo felt had been strengthened the most was Jinx.
Jinx has been enhanced in version 8.13, which not only enhances the damage of the W skill, but also gives the Q skill additional critical hit benefits.
It's just that Jinx is still tepid after the enhancement in 8.13. The main reason is that Jinx is a hero who is not weak in the later stage, and the changes made by Riot in version 8.13 still strengthened Jinx.
The output ability of critical strike equipment.
Obviously the difficulty of this hero is to get through the early stage, but it is to strengthen the late stage, which is weird if someone plays it.
In version 8.14, the enhancement of Jinx is actually not very obvious.
But in Li Luo's view, it can increase Jinx's basic health by 50 points, which is already a good enhancement for a hero who tends to be weak in the early stage.
In addition, Sivir has been greatly strengthened. The cooldown time of her Q skill has been shortened by two seconds, which can greatly improve her output ability in the early and mid-term.
After the live broadcast ended that day, Abu and Zhu Kai found Li Luo. Together with Ming Kai, they planned to hold a small meeting after the new version was updated as usual.
The content of the meeting was nothing more than studying the strategies that EDG needs to change in the new version.
Inside the office.
Li Luo sat on the sofa, drank a sip of tea, and listened to what others were saying.
At this time, Mingkai was talking about some of his own views on this version.
"In this version, it will be easier if we focus on the bottom lane. The ADC has more choices, and the tactics can develop towards diversity. Li Luo has always been very stable. This is the easiest way for us to win the game.
way."
Mingkai said thoughtfully: "And judging from the extent of Riot's enhancement this time, even in the World Championship version, these enhanced heroes should not be weakened again. The tone of this year's World Championship version should be better than ours before
It was much better to have expected it.”
Sitting next to him, Abu nodded slightly: "I generally agree with this view. Whichever team has a deeper bottom lane hero pool in this version will be easier to take advantage of. It is a more suitable version for us."
When he said this, Abu actually had some doubts in his heart.
From a version perspective, Riot only made some targeted weakening of EDG after MSI, and then began to strengthen it.
This confusing behavior made Abramovich, a wily coach, a little confused.
If Riot has no plans to attack EDG by the World Championship version, then with EDG's rich tactical reserves... this World Championship may really be their most promising year.
A calm player like Mingkai, Abu, can feel a little excitement from his words.
I think so.
Last year Mingkai gave his best, but was eliminated in the top 16.
Mingkai, who originally thought his career was over, never expected that he would be able to regain his second youth this year.
A veteran who has coveted the S Championship trophy for a long time, now that he has really seen the hope, Mingkai cannot conceal his excitement.
Only Zhu Kai glanced at Li Luo before making his suggestion: "Xiao Luo, what do you think?"
Li Luo saw everyone's eyes turning to him and slowly put down his tea cup.
In fact, Li Luo has been thinking about the words in his mind.
It's no wonder that both Abu and Mingkai were confused by the operation of fists. If Li Luo wasn't from a God's perspective, he might also think that this is an enhancement of the ADC hero.
But in fact, is this really the case?
Let’s break down the six heroes that Fist has strengthened this time.
Among these six heroes, except Xiao Pao and Vayne, the other four are all non-displacement ADCs.
Non-displacement ADC, what are you most afraid of?
assassin.
Although these heroes have been strengthened, the soft assistants have not been strengthened accordingly.
It's unrealistic to replicate the tactics of the Incense Burner version. In addition, although EDG's upper, middle and jungle are very strong, their playing style is different from that of The Shy and Ning Wang during the IG period.
It is impossible for Li Luo to play in the EDG team, like he did in IG, and choose a functional AD to play in the middle and jungle in a version with the bottom lane as the core.
If Li Luo remembers correctly, the hero Akali will soon receive its rework.
Li Luo doesn't play Akali very much, but he still remembers the rise and fall of this hero quite clearly.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just say that after Akali’s W skill Xia Zhen was reworked, she can avoid attacks from defense towers through the Xia Zhen’s invisibility.
That's right, it can avoid attacks from defense towers!
This means that as long as an Akali operates properly, she can forcefully jump over the tower to kill a crispy enemy without a line of troops, and manipulate the defense tower at her fingertips.
In addition to Akali, the closer to the World Championship version, the more Riot will focus on the importance of the upper midfielder.
Li Luo can understand A Bu and Ming Kai.
There is nothing wrong with their thinking, but their perspective is off.
They will only think that Riot will not repeatedly strengthen and weaken ADC in a short period of time, then strengthen and weaken again.
This is normal, fists really don't do it.
But Riot Games designers can limit their strengthened adcs from the perspective of "strengthening the threat to adcs."
As long as the top, mid and jungle are strong enough, what will happen if adc strengthens you for two rounds?
It’s not just that after a wave of team battles, the opponent owes a lot of blood to his sudden advance.
Moreover, Li Luo feels that there are certain hidden dangers in EDG's current competition mode.
Even though Li Luo had tried his best to cover it up, his aura in the team was still shining brighter.
Moreover, Abramovich's tactical planning is increasingly biased towards the lower half, focusing on the bottom lane.
This is the direction that EDG has been good at since the team was founded.
They also used diversified playing styles in the spring games.
But in the summer split, it seems that the team has begun to move closer to a style of play that revolves around the bottom lane.
Perhaps in the short term, EDG's winning rate will gradually increase due to this "safe" strategy, and they will not even occasionally lose some small games as usual.
But in the long run... this is very likely to become a hidden danger within the team.
If Li Luo was just asked to put forward a counter-argument at this time, Li Luo didn't know what to say.
After pondering for two seconds, Li Luo said slowly: "It is still more important to ensure the diversity of tactics. There are still about three months until the World Championships. Our running-in is very good, and there is still a lot of time to hone other tactical systems.
"
Li Luo's opinions undoubtedly still account for a large proportion in the team.
So when Li Luo finished speaking, Abu and Ming Kai thought Li Luo was being too cautious, but they still didn't say anything.
After that, EDG started their sweep in the second half.
During the intercontinental competition, Li Luo's words about "worrying about the strength of other teams in the same division" seemed to have become a joke. After the intercontinental competition, EDG's summer schedule went smoothly, and even the small games maintained a winning streak all the way.
.
On a tactical level, EDG is placing more and more emphasis on the bottom lane. During this period, EDG is already so strong that it seems to the audience that it is unsolvable.
Relying on Li Luo's excellent form, EDG can even win the game quickly even when they get heroes like Jinx and Rat that are big cores in the late game and weak in the early game.
The soft assistant who was disliked by other teams shined in the hands of meiko, a soft assistant expert.
When Jin Gong and Xiaotian are perfectly qualified for the starting position, Meiko doesn't need to choose a hero to start the group and lead the rhythm. He only needs to maintain the strength of the bottom lane.
Li Luo noticed it, but didn't say anything else.
A little over a month had passed since that meeting, and Abramovich, who had tasted the sweetness, seemed to have forgotten his tactful reminder at the time, and the team members also enjoyed this easier way to win the game.
Li Luo has always agreed with one sentence.
"You can't teach it to people, but things... you can teach them once."
It would be fine if EDG could continue to play smoothly like this.
If something goes wrong, Li Luo believes that both his teammates and coach Abramovich will wake up quickly.
Before that, Li Luo put more energy into training for the Asian Games.
Under the official arrangements of the LPL, the regular season of the three teams EDG, RNG, and IG soon came to an end.
All three teams have players who need to compete in the Asian Games, so this arrangement is just right.
After all, the Asian Games is held at the end of the summer regular season.
Just finish it in advance.
EDG was the first to end their final game. With 19/0, they once again achieved a god-like record.
And in the second half of the game, EDG won 16 consecutive small games in eight consecutive big games.
All battles ended with a score of 2-0!
Li Luo's data also exploded to the extreme. In the various data charts of all players, Li Luo had a damage ratio of close to 40 even though he took 24% of the team's economy.
The average output exceeds 850 points, ranking first in the LPL.
The economic difference in 15 minutes is as high as 1106, which is more than half a head of money compared to the second place Uzi’s 864.
Such exaggerated data allowed Li Luo to secure the first place in the entire LPL, and at the same time, it also provided enough confidence for the audience's expectations for this Asian Games!
The day after the regular season ended, Li Luo, Meiko, and two coaches, Abu and Zhu Kai, went to Pudong Airport to join other team members participating in the Asian Games.
In front of the airport, Li Luo greeted his teammates one after another who would fight alongside him this time.
letme,mlxg,xiaohu,ning.
Plus Li Luo and meiko.
Wearing the national team uniforms with the red flag printed on them, the six players and their coach left precious images in front of the airport.
When boarding the plane, Li Luo turned around and glanced out the window, his eyes full of fascination and expectation.
This is the first time Li Luo has gone to war with his teammates who are all compatriots.
