On April 10, in Luquan’s spoof video, in addition to the big devil teaming up with the latest single Xin Yu, they continued to cause huge waves.
In some small waves, a man cosplaying as Galen waved a big sword in front of the screen and made a heartbreaking criticism in a slightly hoarse voice:
"League of Legends Technician! Do you understand my pain?!".·····
That's right, Galen was stabbed again, and the passive CD time changed from 7 seconds to 8 seconds.
In version 10.7, the Scarecrow has been reworked, the annoying E bomb has disappeared, and the Doombringer has a completely new look.
These changes have triggered a certain amount of discussion among the majority of player groups, but in the eyes of professional teams, they can only be regarded as minor repairs. However, as the playoffs and MSI approached, Riot updated version 10.8.
Putting aside the addition of heroes, the biggest change is undoubtedly the change in kills and the enhancement of the wild area.
In recent games, in most cases, both teams must snowball as early as possible to ensure that they do not lose control of the game. Riot has made adjustments to this to ensure that both teams have more opportunities to participate in a close match.
In the game.
what does that mean?
The disadvantaged team will have more chances to make a comeback.
The changes to Home Guard have reduced the return time of fallen players by 2.5 seconds, so the kill in the early stages of the game cannot be as decisive as before].
At the same time, at levels 1-6, the experience gained from a single kill is increased by 20%, and the experience gained from an assisted kill is reduced by 20%. At levels 7-8, the effect value is reduced to 10%.
Riot is encouraging solo kills to make the game more enjoyable to watch.
On the surface it looks like this, but in the eyes of those who are interested, this combination of punches looks more like it is aimed at Snake.
Looking at the data column of the entire league, among the massive 1-6 level game data, the most outstanding and stable performance must be the Snakes team led by Shi Yizhong.
Cooperating with Shi Yizhong, the pig at the forefront took off.
The Snakes are the team with the strongest mid-field coordination in the entire league, and they are also the team that creates the most kills against the enemy's mid lane and has the highest snowball efficiency.
Shortening the recovery time by 2.5 seconds will allow the killed mid laner to get more opportunities and make more reactions, slightly weakening the influence of the Snake team's linkage and cooperation, and getting slightly less things.
Considering the absolute strength of Shi Yizhong, this is just one move by Riot. The second move is to change the jungle.
"Only junglers who play aggressively in the early game are influential junglers."
With the increase in camp experience and changes in jungle equipment, this sentence will become a thing of the past. Through micro-management, the designer allows the jungler to choose to become stronger by brushing the jungle.
The status of wild core will be re-evaluated by all major teams.
There is no need for Snake to evaluate this point, because with the on-site factory director's style of play, he cannot act as a wild core at all. If the Snake team does this, other teams will be happy to death.
What everyone is afraid of is Shi Yizhong.
Then, Riot's increase changes will create a certain sense of fragmentation for the Snake team.
Allowing teams with excellent junglers to have more opportunities to compete with top teams will be a destabilizing factor for strong teams with mature systems.
And dog designers want this kind of suspense.
··..
On April 15, a post on the E-Sports Louvre was liked like crazy. The title was very eye-catching: "Riot Designer Dies Again".
The post comes from the top Hao fans in the Louvre. He summarized several changes in the recent version, quoted several commentators from the major competition areas and relevant professional players' speeches, and added many additions from friends in the league.
, and finally got this masterpiece.
"The CD time of Akali's ultimate move has been shortened. The small enhancement is just a sweetener designed by the dog. There is a needle hidden in the cotton. The mid-season championship is approaching, and these people have finally revealed their true colors!"
"The invincible Dynasty team and the invincible number one Denki have become a thorn in Riot's side and a thorn in their flesh. They are trying to use despicable means to destroy the legend!"
"The dynasty should not be buried like this. I will expose the dark side of the designers and let everyone see the invisible war that eats people outside the canyon." Dai Langhuo emphasized in the post:
"Before this, the designers used patch tactics to fight Brother Hao for several rounds, but they were all defeated. They made a comeback. 10.8 is the turning point of the new era, and the playoffs will be the first battlefield."
-......"
After the beginning of the article, he gradually analyzed the impact of version changes on the rhythm of the game and Snake. The links are interlocking and the logic is tight. Plus there are precedents before, people have to believe that what he said is the truth.
When Coster bombarded Riot headquarters and cursed the designers, this was the beginning before 10.8. "The version change has also affected our team?!"
There are many people saying this, especially Han Za, who pretends to be a fake person to watch the show.
Even major teams agree that Snake will be the team most affected. Of course, they are very happy, regardless of whether they are an LPL team or not. "Facts" and "conspiracy theories" are intertwined in the comment area, setting the stage for the mid-season.
Got a fire.
Because of Shi Yizhong's great influence, this incident attracted huge attention in the e-sports world. Many European and American fans even impacted Riot officials.
This shocked the designers. If we continue this, there may even be a headquarters attack.
Therefore, Needha, the joint operating officer of the European and American competition regions, stood up and faced the e-sports media directly on April 17. Needha, who was wearing a blue plaid shirt and slightly curly brown hair, said this in an interview:
"Every season we will find ways to make the game environment better and make the content richer."
"We will consider balance and new elements, but we will never target any one team."
"Whether it's MSI or S competition, we make version changes every year. This is balanced and fair to all teams, because no one knows who the final champion will be, including the designers, and they don't know what these changes will do.
It’s interesting to see what the specific impacts will be, so let’s look forward to it together.”
.......
Needha smiled in front of the camera and had a very good attitude. Some of his words really extinguished the anger of many European and American fans. Looking forward to...
Looking forward to what kind of response Snake can make.
Will the legendary Shi Yizhong be affected by a little change?
Moreover, Snake has played jungle core in the S6 World Championship. The penta-kill Juggernaut at that time forced Riot to change the experience and financial resources of the jungle. Now that these things have been relaxed, they can directly compete with this dynasty team.
?
After the 10.8 version update, Snake Team and Li Hao were unknowingly pushed to the forefront.
The battle between Dynasty Team led by Shi Yizhong and Riot to unite the entire league seems to be about to begin. At this juncture, the Snake Team did not respond to related topics at the beginning.
It was as if all the changes had nothing to do with them.
Looking at the Snake Team's homepage, as usual, there are only some daily updates and no expression of any resistance to the new version.
During a live broadcast before the playoffs, fans took the opportunity to ask Li Hao in the live broadcast room face-to-face what he thought of the new version. Some even asked him if he would consider restarting the jungle core strategy in S6.
In response to this, Li Hao responded in front of the screen:
"Changes are normal and we are actively responding to them."
"Whether or not to be a wild core will definitely be considered, but it depends on the specific game." He smiled and faced the camera:
"We will face more difficulties in the future, and the road will be more difficult than before." "But I am quite happy and feel that I have new vitality."
......"Um...?
Fans really didn't expect this gesture. Shi Yizhong was actually very happy about the unfavorable changes. Some people were surprised!
"Yes, Brother Hao has said before that he wants to find an opponent in the alliance who can fight. If we follow the previous version, Snake under the leadership of Brother Hao will be invincible."
"Riot's operation to increase suspense aroused Brother Hao's fighting spirit and desire to win? This seems to make Shi Yizhong even more terrifying!" "Holy shit, can you understand this?"
"I'm happy to be targeted!"
"I admire it, is this the mentality of an invincible person?!"
After Li Hao made his attitude clear, he received support from a large number of Hao fans.
Many people believe that Shi Yizhong is already declaring war on the dog design while talking and laughing! This will undoubtedly pour a pot of hot oil in advance for the third round of the next playoffs!
Those viewers who hated the Alliance Dog design firmly stood on Brother Hao's side and started a war with the groups who benefited from the version in the forum. It must be said that the Hao fans group has unparalleled combat power and a huge number, showing a crushing tendency in the forum.
.
During the preparations for the playoffs, LCK's ambitions have become more and more inflated, because their play style is invisibly consistent with the version. Just like the second uncle of the big turtle, he is the core.
But the one with the most ambitious ambitions is definitely GEN.
They had just lost to SKT, and unexpectedly Riot immediately provided an assist, which made their slightly sluggish momentum rise again.
Samsung's bladder tactics have received some support, and they will take revenge on SKT in the playoffs!
If we can use the power of the version to overthrow the Snake Team, then Samsung will become the savior of the LCK! Riot doesn't know the game, but it did a good job in this wave of arch-fire operations.
Each major competition area is holding back its momentum. Many teams and more professional players are trying to enter the dynasty competition area in the last period of time, and then bring back the trophy and put themselves into the history of the league.
Time flies, starting from April 19th, the playoff war is raging in the thirteen divisions. The first round of the LPL playoffs lasted from April 20th to April 22nd.
After a brutal match, E and TES advanced to the second round. 60e is very happy these days.
They advanced 3:1 and the playoffs seemed possible.
However, on April 23, the smiles on 60e's faces disappeared. E played against JDG, and the battle was so tragic that 60e couldn't bear to watch.
In the first game, JDG and E played for 32 minutes, and the head ratio was 13:1.
That's right, E was being suppressed throughout the game, and the two sides showed a strength gap that was not visible on the surface. Brother Kanpian scored an MVP record of 6/0/5 with a male gun, and was saddened by Brother Kanpian throughout the whole process.
In the second game, Brother Kan's heroes were knocked down by E one after another, and he chose Troll.
JDG cut off a total of 19 heads, 16 of which were related to the movie guy. Although his record was not good, it was only 0/2/16. What surprised JDG fans and uniforms was that in the second and more anxious game,
The idiosyncratic person stood up!
LokeN’s female gun was 11/0/4, infinitely awesome!
Toothpaste, brother watching movies, top laner, JDG teammates were shocked! They knew very well that LokeN was meditating before the game.
The brilliance of the previous scene was suppressed by the movie-watching brother, but this scene directly numbed E!
"Specialists are about to shine in the playoffs!" "Our time has come!"
Backstage at JDG, many people were shouting excitedly. It was really not just a boast.
JDG is their core, ranking third in the LPL in the MVP list this season. JDG is the beneficiary of the changes in version 10.8.
After Brother Kan is strengthened, once the terrifying traitor LokeN opens his genetic chain again and double C shines, JDG will definitely be able to gain wings.
We want to fly high into the sky and challenge God!
In the third match between JDG and E, the game lasted for 36 minutes and 29 seconds, with a score of 20: Blind Sin 4/1/11, and the Sad Troll 1/5/7.
One is level 17 and the other is only level 14.
LokeN's Element of the Waning Moon, level 18, record 8/0/6, super awesome for the second time! The highest output in the game, leading the matchup by 2 levels, and leading the economy by more than 4,000!
"3:0!" "E is swept!"
At the end of the game, I remember being wowed and shouting in surprise: "In version 10.8, JDG is different."
"We have discussed before that JDG will be the beneficiary of the version, but we didn't expect their changes to be so drastic." "Several of our predictions were all wrong, JDG swept E!"
Colonel Guan on the side couldn't help but said: "LokeN!"
"This was our oversight. Who would have thought that he would break out again!"
"The spring split started without dying once, and the record against Brother Hao was soaring. LokeN was stopped by Brother Hao for a while and became mediocre, but in the playoffs, he started again!"
"Is this a link between past and present?"
Wawa smiled and said: "LokeN is like a late-stage hero. He has come out now." "I wanted to cry after watching the movie. I agreed on his MVP, but LokeN turned out again!"
Colonel Guan kept nodding. He raised his hands in the air and moved them up and down as he spoke, appearing very active: "JDG in this state already has the shadow of the Snake Team."
"I have a very strong premonition!"
"JDG like this is fully qualified to challenge the Dynasty Snakes."
In the player seats, while everyone in JDG was celebrating, Brother Guozi looked at LokeN in surprise. Originally, he thought he understood LokeN.
Now, I can't understand it anymore.
Damn it, idiosyncrasies and meditation, are they really that mysterious?
When Toothpaste was confused, the guy watching the movie asked excitedly: "Dongyu!" "You are so awesome, who did you meditate on?"
LokeN said solemnly:
"I meditated on the five-kill VN and Bang's nightmare." Watching the movie, I was suddenly enlightened and felt excited again!
It's TheKing!....-
Backstage at JDG, assistant coach Cui Hu smiled with his big teeth: "The power of the version + the special traits unlocked by the gene chain!" "There is a chance, I really have a chance this time!"
Analyst Vusso breathed a sigh of relief and was very happy:
"Fortunately, we persisted, and LokeN himself persisted." "If we encounter Snake again, we will never be as embarrassed as before." Team leader MOMO sneered: "Well done, League of Legends designers!" "
Hahaha!"
...
April 24th.
The playoffs continue, TES versus FPX.
This round of competition was much more anxious than JDG's round.
The two sides fought fiercely until the fifth game. FPX used a series of exquisite cooperation to win the team battle in 34 minutes, and then got the baron and broke through the high ground.
Under the pressure of super soldiers, TES and FPX had a decisive battle in the ancient dragon pit. Little Phoenix fought and retreated, using super soldiers to restrain TES. TES was forced to start a team fight. Ah Shui wanted to deal damage, but was stared at by Xiaotian and Jin Gong.
, coupled with the poor location, he died suddenly.
Except for his left hand, all the others were killed.
FPX rushed to the high ground and advanced to the third round of the playoffs with 3:2.
After losing the game, the only happy person on TES' side was probably Xiao P. He looked at the defeated Ah Shui, dreaming of the thirty-year dream of Hexi in his heart.
Little Phoenix won the game. After being happy for a while, they immediately had to face the number one problem of the third round. Snake!
Lin Weixiang poked Liu Qingsong:
"Does version 10.8 really have such a big impact on Snake?" "Brother Hao, what do you think our chances of winning are?"
Mr. Tie chuckled: "I don't know what the odds are." "But Brother Hao must be unhappy with Riot." "This first breath will be vented on us." He said with a hint of fear:
"What an angry Brother Hao." "Damn it, ***designer!" Smarty cursed and then laughed:
"Stop talking, let's burn some paper for Brother Coin first." "He will face the wrath of God."
Xiaotian on the side hugged Doinb's neck: "Brother Coin, come on."
·····.
PS: Good night book friends, we will update on time before 23:59 tomorrow night.
