Chapter 456: When autumn comes on September 8th, my flower will bloom and all other flowers will die!
On the third day of the New Year, I said goodbye to the boss with chest hair and went to visit Jiejie with A Shui for two days.
I returned to the EDG club on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year and took the time to rebuild.
A half-month vacation is neither long nor short, and it will not affect the level of the contestants.
But a certain degree of unfamiliarity is inevitable.
Training and review naturally become the top priorities.
After all, the game environment at the beginning of the season changes every three days. Not only does the version change frequently, but various new playing methods will also be developed, which must be followed up and adjusted.
The first round of games after the new year fully illustrated the problem.
ADs generally gave up the stealing type of unsealed secrets and switched to swift footwork.
The reason is that the Unsealed Cheats are used too many times, and the summoner skill flies back. The style of play that relies on the equipment difference to force pressure will almost certainly be targeted by the jungler. If you don't rely on the equipment difference to force pressure, you can't consume the Swiftness of Footwork, so it is a talent that has more disadvantages than advantages.
Ai Li's appearance rate has increased, making her more suitable for heroes who frequently consume items.
Predators are gradually being developed, and many junglers who need movement speed to enter the field have given up the damage of Electrocute and the recovery of Swift Footwork , and instead pursue functional bonuses.
Glacial Amplification is also gradually appearing in the selection of auxiliary heroes.
In the confrontation between different groups, EDG defeated two major e-commerce teams and the newly established TOP, and its condition has improved.
But when facing IG on March 5, they suffered a Waterloo.
Before this battle.
IG has won eight consecutive games in the same group and different groups, and its momentum is high.
EDG also attaches great importance to this game.
Close the door and release the factory director.
However, Zzitai used his Gangplank player who had shot a kid with one shot in the training match. Just two minutes into the game, he was Q'd by Rookie's Syndra and didn't know who he was.
Go forward and pick up Q.
Go back and pick up Q.
Go to the left or right to pick up Q.
After swaying back and forth and doing a mysterious dance, he finally received the Q.
There were two Q-spicy dances in the EDG team.
The most important thing is that Xing Dao was using Master Yi. He activated [Counter Storm] to jump into the face, but was perfectly restrained by Syndra's push. There was no way he could switch to the middle lane and face Rookie.
So much so that we lost the first game.
In the second game, there weren't any major incidents with Zizi.
However, the jungle of the factory manager was invaded crazily by Rookie + Ning, and the rhythm was rarely broken in the confrontation within the LPL region.
"IG's performance this season is a bit exaggerated!"
Ze Yuan said after the game: "Except for the loss to RNG in the first game of the spring season, this small IG organized by the new generation of players defeated all the strong teams in our division. Rookie, Ning and The shy who gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game became the trident of the team."
"Even EDG with Zz1tai on board was defeated... I really feel that IG has top-tier strength this season."
Say this sentence.
IG fans protested one after another.
Everyone is afraid that the team they support will be killed by a wave of healing.
After all, since his debut, Guan Zeyuan's ability in poisonous milk has become increasingly profound, and his achievements in the LOL field are not inferior to those of the "Eastern Causal Weapon" Xudong Laoxian.
What I never expected was.
Guan Zeyuan didn't know why he failed.
IG then defeated the remaining opponents in the Western Conference in succession, and in the third round of the same group competition, it first eliminated LGD and then RNG, completing its revenge for the loss at the beginning of the season and continuing its winning streak.
EDG, on the contrary, fell to second place in the division, behind Snake, because of the weakening of two swing heroes, Gangplank and Shyvana, and the enhancement of a series of heroes they were not good at using, such as Gnar, Ornn, Poppy, Zed, Graves, and Viktor.
Of course, EDG is not the only one being targeted.
The censer monster resurrection system composed of Skateboard Shoes, Xayah and Rakan or other AD + soft supports, which has gradually become the mainstream of the arena, has also been severely cut.
Specifically, the CD of the healing spell is increased by 30 seconds, the ignition damage is increased by 95, and the health recovery effect of Swift Footwork is halved.
And the attributes of each hero are lowered.
For example, the attack range of Skateboards was reduced from 525 to 500, and the bonus given by the W skill was changed from attack speed to attack power, which slowed down the displacement speed in the early and middle stages, which is equivalent to cutting directly into the sewer.
Xayah's W cannot be triggered synchronously with Xayah and Rakan, so the strong start is no longer there.
The only one that has been strengthened is Kaisa, who is still relatively unpopular and not used well by everyone .
"Xing Dao, what do you think of these two recent versions?"
Abu reviewed the last two BO3s.
The meeting proceeded to the discussion stage of the new version.
In the past year or so, Xing Dao has demonstrated a strong ability to interpret the version and is still the absolute core of the EDG team. Naturally, he has become the focus at this time.
"This version has Conqueror talent, and next version has Irelia rework, which is good news for top lane."
Xing Dao had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
How outrageous is the strength of Irelia after her recent rework?
R skill value, cooldown reduction, range, ER mark duration, Q skill bonus, casting range, extra damage to minions, W percentage reduction, CD time, and the movement speed that is extremely important for melee heroes...these are all there.
The most important thing is...
Do you know what the control of the original version of Irelia’s ultimate is?
That's right.
It’s the same disarming function as Amumu’s ultimate!
This control has existed on Amumu for three to two and a half years and has not destroyed the balance of the League of Legends, so the designers ingeniously separated the "disarm" and added it to Irelia's ultimate.
The effect...
Although Irelia has been nerfed again and again, her BP rate in the professional league has remained above 80%, and her win rate is approaching 60%!
In addition to an epic character card, Xing Dao also has the original grandmaster-level proficiency.
It is enough to say bluntly: When autumn comes on September 8th, my flowers will bloom and all other flowers will die!
"No more?"
Abu waited for a long time but got no further news.
Asked with a little surprise.
"Well... not really, the environment is a bit chaotic right now."
Xing Dao jumped out of YY and sorted out his thoughts: "There is a routine in the Korean server where the Gem Swordmaster goes to the middle lane. The winning rate is relatively high. I suggest you try it. This is mainly a routine, and it doesn't require much operation and understanding."
This statement of "no requirements" is the same as "all you need to be a good player to reach the top".
It needs to be based on certain talents.
Changing the team may not necessarily result in the ability to practice well in a short period of time.
Fortunately, with the knowledge and basic skills of the EDG players, playing the Gem Swordmaster is very simple.
You don't even need to worry about proficiency.
——Zhezeitai is an old guy who has played since S1. He has experienced the eras when the Lantern Swordmaster, Red Fork Swordmaster, Red Claw Madman Swordmaster and Green Claw Swordmaster took turns wreaking havoc. If he can't use the Swordmaster well, he can be buried.
Buried alive.
The way of burial is to press the head, hands and feet into the soil, leaving only the buttocks exposed.
"That makes sense." Abu agreed.
"Also, the new version of Crow can play in the mid and support positions. The sheep knife is 600 cheaper, which will make Kog'Maw and Varus much stronger. I will personally practice Ornn more. That's all." Xing Dao finished expressing what he wanted to say.
"Do you have anything to say?" Abu turned to the other team members.
"I don't." After losing to IG, the factory manager felt more and more powerless.
The thief's positioning is very accurate, and he uses whatever the team needs.
As for whether it is comfortable or not...
Zezetai has long passed the stage of a genius boy with lofty ambitions.
As long as we can win the game, we'll be happy.
The rest are details.
A Shui and Meiko did put forward some constructive suggestions, but they did not conflict with what Xing Dao said. They were just supplements from their respective perspectives.
"Okay, that's it!"
Abu recorded the information in a folder and finally made the decision: "Let's get familiar with what we discussed today. If there are any problems, we will communicate and give feedback in time... We have no chance of winning the first place in the regular season. We must get the first place in the Western Conference back!"
