Chapter 147: Carnivory is carnivory, and confrontation is confrontation
I finished my dinner slowly and leisurely.
The EDG players walked out of the training room and came to the conference room separated by a wall, where they sat in two rows around a simple sky blue desk.
Abhi sees everyone present.
He stood up and cleared his throat. "In the last 27 games, we have won 21 games. The average AD lead is 999. We really handled the laning phase well."
"However, when it comes to team battles, Wenbo dies a bit too often."
"For example, yesterday when I was using Lucian, I was killed instantly due to my E face damage, which was quite outrageous."
"Last season, you had a strong top laner to support you, but this season, the top laner is either Treant, Titan or Troll Poppy. If the AD gives up first, the whole game is over."
Considering that JackeyLove just joined.
Abu's words were straightforward, but not sharp.
In fact.
JackeyLove, who always dies suddenly, has been accused by his training team of having poor economic conditions and watered-down scores.
And this is just training.
Everyone is developing tacit understanding, experimenting with lineups, and looking for their own shortcomings.
There is no specific targeting.
In the finals where every point is crucial, or even in the knockout rounds where a win or loss can make the difference between heaven and earth, JackeyLove is likely to become the biggest breakthrough point in the team.
“Ah… uh…”
JackeyLove didn't expect to be brought up, and with two interjections popping out, he didn't know how to respond.
When they were in IG, a group of people would just yell "Go, go, go, mang mang mang".
We celebrate together when we win and bear the loss together.
I have never done such a detailed review.
Fortunately, Abramovich did not ask the newly joined '17-year-old AD' to come up with a solution.
The reason for the meeting.
It's just to let everyone brainstorm.
"This version targets us too much."
The factory manager scratched his hair with his left hand supporting his chin: "The jungle area needs to be competitive, the bottom lane needs to be strong, and the top lane cannot do without the front row."
Once you win the championship, the designers will definitely find a way to weaken you.
This was within the EDG team's expectations.
I never expected that it would be cut like this.
The top laner who was strong enough to win a 1v5 team fight can now only play as a tank.
The jungler, whose operation skills are not as good as those of the youngsters and who mainly relies on experience to compete, is forced to fight to the death.
The "slippery" mid laner who uses unlimited supplies to exchange blood, puts pressure on the opponent, and slowly waits for the equipment to be formed before performing well has also been affected in the current environment.
There is nothing wrong with the play, you can continue.
However, the effect has obviously declined a lot in the middle and late stages.
——The traditional mage who has to wait for the CD after releasing a set of skills does not have enough explosive development, and his ability to fight tanks is obviously not as good as that of AD heroes with continuous output as their characteristic.
As for the bottom lane...
It’s not that Meiko can’t choose hard supports like Braum and Tam.
Even though it is not as easy as using soft assists, relying on one's own awareness and understanding, it is enough to hold the scene.
The problem is.
The economy of the support position is far inferior to that of the main hero.
Facing top laners like Rumble, Kennen, Ekko, and Gnar, who either cannot equip tanky equipment or rely on functional items to survive, you can still hold out.
When encountering the three mythical gods, Maokai, Poppy, and Titan, as well as the Troll King who is out of the three realms and not in the five elements, the basic attributes and skill damage reduction of the hard support may not be able to withstand one-third of the opponent.
Giving up the positional advantage only to get a result like this is obviously not worth it.
"So there is no solution?"
"You don't have any ideas at all?"
Abu looked around.
I couldn't help but frown.
The coaching team's rank is obviously lower than that of professional players.
Each new version is based on the players’ understanding and is subsequently expanded and deepened.
We can’t just assume that professional players will practice unproven heroes and strategies.
As for what OMG's new coach said about 'teaching the top laner to play the output-type Prince', it is simply a shameless joke.
Preseason stage.
Each team has the same understanding of the version.
Even in LCK, the most mainstream playing style is Colossus and Treant to fight against five opponents at the same time.
Titan Poppy's relatively lack of tankiness can only be made up for by the functionality of her ultimate.
No one has found a way out of this dilemma yet.
"This is the trend of the version. It is indeed difficult to reverse it, but..."
BP coach Maokai said here.
There was a pause.
I kept it a secret on purpose.
He waited until the others' curiosity was aroused before continuing, "I noticed that Xing Dao has been secretly practicing heroes on a small account recently, and it's a small account on the national server."
"Oh?!" Abu's eyes lit up: "What are you practicing?"
"New heroes, Kled and Shen." Maokai remembered it clearly.
"These two..." Abu thought about it carefully and had a vague idea.
Kled is a hero introduced in version 6.16 and appeared in the S6 finals, but due to his complex mechanism and too little practice time for players, his performance was very average.
After losing the first game, no one used it again.
Shen was implemented in version 6.24, which was last week. According to statistics on OP.GG, his win rate ranks first on the Korean server.
To achieve such data without proficiency, the strength is quite outrageous.
but.
Most of those who use Shen are casual players.
Professional players are all practicing heroes for the competition, and few people would touch this option whose value is too OP and they don't know to what extent it will be weakened.
Xing Dao was secretly practicing on a small account on the national server, and it was obvious that he was deliberately hiding something.
"Xing Dao, tell me now, don't hide it."
Abu named it directly.
"I'm not hiding anything. I just think that the ecological environment of pure tanks will also change, so I practice in advance." Xing Dao responded casually.
"Impossible, I don't know you?" Abu didn't believe it at all: "In terms of understanding, you said you are second, and no one dares to say you are first. There must be something to be said for practicing these two."
"No, no, really not." Xing Dao waved his hands again and again: "I can't teach the factory guy how to play games."
?????
“Absolutely!”
"grass."
"If you have anything on your mind, just say it directly. Don't beat around the bush to slander me." The factory manager scolded with a smile.
"That's right. I think everyone has a misunderstanding." Xing Dao originally wanted to secretly raise some issues during the duo queue, but was caught during the meeting, so he just said it out loud: "It's true that you need to fight in the jungle, but you don't have to use a carnivorous jungler to fight."
"Carnivory is carnivory, and confrontation is confrontation."
"Carnivorous junglers are suitable for confrontation, but not all junglers are suitable for confrontation are carnivorous junglers, right?"
"Hmm... I understand!" The factory director pondered for a moment and slapped his thigh.
The difference in the level of understanding is like a thin membrane.
If you can't break through, you will be kept in the dark and unable to see the outside world clearly.
Once it's revealed, everything becomes clear.
Is Lee Sin strong against other players?
Is the male gun strong in confrontation?
Does the new version of Lion Dog have high damage?
Is Mantis' infinite invisibility impossible to defend against?
How about heroes like Gragas and Rek'Sai who have sufficient basic damage and are good at self-protection?
To put it bluntly, the jungler does not need to gain an advantage in confrontation, as long as he does not suffer a loss due to weak confrontation performance.
Maintain a certain level of tankiness and then cooperate with support.
Even if you can't fight a head-on team battle with the Phantom, you can still defend the tower and release a strong enough split push top laner.
