As long as the wages are in place, all champions will be crushed to pieces

Chapter 234 MSI’s Prospects

What does it feel like to have your child's kung fu broken?
Feeling refreshed and feeling windy at my feet, it's not as serious as what fans said, as if my whole body is in trouble as soon as the gong is broken.

At the age of 18, my main focus is on being simple and crude, just like playing with unlimited firepower.

No CD!

But Li Feifan soon understood that one day was fine, two days was too much, and three days he wanted to die.

However, he was naturally arrogant and always had a tough talk. He was never willing to say the word 'no'.

Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, taking a sip of red wine specially used to enhance the atmosphere, Li Feifan gritted his teeth and said, "The wine has made me so decadent! From today on! Quit drinking!"

…………

The entire Jingdong team arrived in Germany on the 4th. Li Feifan also took a flight to Germany at the same time to prepare to join his teammates. He even arrived at the hotel earlier than his teammates.

"Oh, Extraordinary Pot! You've been so happy lately that you've forgotten about your cute brothers, right?" Lin Weixiang started teasing him when they met.

"Disgusting, right?" Li Feifan sneered, "You forced me to do it!"

He took out his phone and didn't know what he was looking for, and then he started to read, "The domineering Lin Weixiang directly pushed Liu Qingsong against the wall, and gently raised Liu Qingsong's chin with his fingertips..."

"Ahhhh! Stop reading it, stop reading it, damn!" Lin Weixiang suddenly became crazy!

"Go away, can you stop barking in front of me!" Liu Qingsong also put on a bad face and was very angry.

"Hahahaha." Kasa laughed out loud like a pig. He surfed the Internet intensively and knew why these two people were so angry.

You are 18 years old!

Various scheming sluts and scheming ones have appeared on the Internet, which has also given rise to many fujoshi groups.

Especially female users on Weibo, there are so many people who have this hobby!
After big capital entered the e-sports circle, it also caused the e-sports circle as a whole to become a fan circle, and the corresponding fujoshi group also came to the e-sports circle.

It is easy to attract attention in a team with high traffic like JD.com, and the special situation of Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang being 'bound to form a team' is easy for people to imagine.

after all……

Song Bao does have a scheming and coquettish face, right?

The fujoshi group quickly focused on the bottom lane duo and used their outstanding talents to create various funny articles.

There is only Jimu Gong. Although he can communicate in Chinese, he cannot understand most Chinese, so he has no understanding of this aspect at all. He is a pure melon-eater!
After everyone laughed and joked for a while, they checked into the hotel and went to their rooms.

Li Feifan shared a room with Casa. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Casa taking out two pillows with cartoon characters printed on them. He almost forgot that this guy was a top-notch two-thorned ape.

After a while, Hongmi sent a message to the competition group asking everyone to gather in the conference room.

Riot has already arranged a training place for each team. It is similar to the World Championship. The hotel conference room has been temporarily transformed into multiple areas. Each area is a place for each team to train and hold meetings.

It's just that only the champion teams from each division can participate in MSI, and the size of the participating teams is not that large.

Today happened to be the final battle of the qualifiers. No accidents occurred. Vietnam and the LMS division successfully defended the competition, successfully defeated many opponents in the qualifiers, and stood out to enter the main stage.

In this case, the teams participating in the MSI main event will also be officially determined.

They are the LPL spring champion JD team, LCK spring champion KZ team, European division Fnatic team, North American division Liquid team plus Vietnam division EVOS and LMS division Flash Wolves, a total of six teams will play a double game. There is a round-robin BO1, and then the top four advance to the knockout rounds, and the No. 1 team can pick its opponent.

The competition format has not changed much.

It's just that the participating teams are a bit surprising. It's no wonder that S8 is the first year of e-sports. This year is indeed the year when a large number of ancient players retired and the new generation of players entered the scene.

"Guigui? It seems that among the three fantasy gods in the civil war, only Flash Wolf had the last laugh. G2 and EDG didn't even come. Isn't G2 known as the Galaxy Battleship? Why didn't they become more serious?" Li Feifan teased with a smile.

G2, EDG, and Flash Wolves are the famous three fantasy gods of civil war. They focus on domestic random killing and international competition.

"The LMS division is not competitive at all." Casa, as the former Wolf King, is also helpless about this situation.

Essentially, it's just that there aren't enough players.

Any field is suitable for crowd tactics. This is not a derogatory term. If you are like LPL, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are millions of League of Legends players in China, right?

This means that professional teams can choose from millions of people, and the probability of finding a genius is greatly increased, right?
There are not that many people in Wanwan, and there are not many Koreans, but they have the policy of establishing an e-sports country, and the degree of professionalism is very high. Even if there are not so many players for them to select, they can still select them through a high degree of professionalism. Choose the players you want.

This is also the reason why Casa decisively left Flash Wolves.

Results are all based on papers.

The Flash Wolves' lineup is basically killing people indiscriminately in the LMS division. It cannot get any improvement at all, and naturally it is impossible to achieve breakthroughs and gains in performance.

It can only be said that as a professional player, Casa is quite enterprising. At least he can decisively jump out of his comfort zone and seek new challenges.

"I can understand why EDG didn't come. Didn't G2 have a very strong lineup when perkz played four at the beginning of this year?" Li Feifan said with a smile, "Including Wunder, who is known as the number one top laner in Europe, and Jankos, the number one jungler in Europe. After going through it, you ended up not playing against Fnatic?”

"Because Perkz has never played against Caps. There is indeed a Dharma King in Europe, and Caps is very powerful." Lin Weixiang reminded, "You have to pay close attention to Feifan Guo."

"Hey, that's necessary. If you don't defeat several European kings, do you still deserve to be called the strongest mid laner?" Li Feifan smiled.

While everyone was chatting, Hongmi had already walked into the conference room with a thick stack of information.

"Everyone, please stop talking." Hongmi coughed a few times to attract everyone's attention, "Let's touch the version before the formal training, so that we can have a better idea during the training."

Training should also pay attention to methods. Scientific training is of course more efficient than mindless training.

Li Feifan took the information from Hongmi, which marked the key changes in the version and the hero changes.

"The version used in this mid-season tournament is version 8.8, and there is still a span of versions."

Both are two small patches. Riot Games is now more and more proficient in version changes and modifications. Basically, within a year, in addition to the large-scale changes in the season changes at the end of the year, there are mid-season patch changes after the end of MSI in the middle of the year, and patches at other times. The changes are basically limited to numerical adjustments of equipment and heroes, and there will be no patches that subvert the existing game structure.

The main reason is that we suffered losses in the S5 World Championship that year, and Riot also learned a lot from the experience.

Hongmi got right to the point, "The first thing we should pay attention to is a reworked hero."

He turned around and opened the screen of the projector to face the team members, "Sword Girl!"

In Will of the Blade, Irelia finally gained the favor of the designer in version 8.7, completed the redesign, and completely transformed into a new hero.

W has changed from the previous active normal attack with real damage to [Group Dance] that can reduce damage by percentage.

E [Double Blades] makes the control of the sword girl less stable. Unlike before, as long as the percentage of the current blood volume is lower than the opponent, you can be 100% stunned, but now with R [Vanguard Blade], as long as the enemy is hit, Hero Fang can put a mark on the opponent, thereby refreshing the cooldown of Q [Blade Impact].

Actually.

Riot's hero rework follows a principle, which is to increase the upper limit of the hero's operation, but this will also lower the lower limit of the hero. Just like Sword Princess, although many people miss [Blade Waltz], it is undeniable that the mechanism of the old version of Sword Princess is simple Rude is an abusive hero, and if his level is slightly higher, he will be easily targeted.

The new version of Sword Girl is a frequent visitor to the professional arena, and it is very entertaining to watch when used properly.

In the same way, the upper limit and lower limit of the old version of Sword Girl are not that big. You can make it with all the equipment and rush into the crowd.

Opening a W-A hit will really hurt you, right?
Will the big move bring back health?

The E skill can't stun, so you can at least create a slowing effect, right?

But now in the new version of Sword Girl, all skills revolve around brushing the Q skill CD to add passive layers. Once the key skills are empty, you will not even be as good as a super soldier in a team battle.

The new version of Dao Girl is like the second happy man when she looks elegant. Just highlight one happy thing and that's it!
"Actually, from a mechanical point of view, this hero is not suitable for the professional arena." Hongmi shook his head in distress.

It's very simple. The upper limit is indeed high. In the collection, one person can slip five people and complete the counterattack, but the lower limit is also scary.

What the professional arena requires is fault tolerance. This kind of hero with naturally low fault tolerance is simply inconsistent with the professional arena. "But there's no way...this hero is purely a numerical monster."

In the 8.7 version, Sword Girl's win rate has just been average after being reworked. The main reason is that everyone has not yet adapted to the operation method of this hero.

And when Riot first saw the win rate of the reworked hero, it turned out to be so low? ?

Isn’t this a slap in the face for the designer?

In the 8.8 version, the backhand of the Sword Girl was strengthened. This made the Sword Girl, who originally had terrible numbers, go straight to the sky. After those masters got used to playing, this hero directly dominated the winning rate list.

"This hero needs to be focused on. How are you two practicing, Fei Fei and Jiu Mu Gong?"

"I'll tell you, give me a C!" Li Feifan played the new version of Sword Girl every day when he was in China, and now he can't wait to get started immediately.

"My proficiency is average. If necessary, I will practice more." Jiemugong was not as confident as Li Feifan.

"As long as it can be brought out, as long as such a hero can be brought out, the ban problem can be solved." Hongmi nodded.

What is a numerical monster?
Isn't it because such a hero can kill randomly without requiring you to be skilled in operation?
Otherwise, is it worthy of being called a numerical monster?
"In addition, there are several other changes, and the skills of the Enchantress have been adjusted back." Hongmi said.

At the beginning of the S7 season, the designers of Riot Games made a genius setting called the assassin hero burst delay mechanism. They said that the assassin hero is too strong. A set of them can kill people immediately without giving the opponent any chance to counterattack. This is not good at all. Not cool!

Therefore, a large number of assassin heroes have been adjusted. For example, the Q of the poodle has been changed into a sudden AOE. Heroes such as Tai Lung and the murloc have been adjusted, and the Enchantress has been almost redone!

You said that as an assassin, I don’t pursue instant bursts of power, so do I still have to stand still and play draw A with the opponent? ?

Enchantress, the iconic assassin hero in the middle lane, had relatively strong numerical values ​​and dominated the middle lane rankings when she was just reworked. After a slight adjustment to the numerical values, no one cared about her. Since she couldn't adjust well, she just made a correction!

But originally, Enchantress also had a problem, that is, her lack of clearing ability.

The single target burst value of Enchantress has always been very good. What limits Enchantress' appearance is the problem of clearing the line. If you use both W and R to clear the line, then where will your skills be when you go to the jungle and support the side lanes? Hit damage? ?
Moreover, if your line clearing ability is not good, it means that your ability to farm and develop troops in the middle and late stages is not good. Once you can't get the kills, the enchantress will not be able to develop. How can the enchantress without equipment be killed in seconds?

and so……

If the Enchantress wants to appear on the scene, she must either have equipment to help clear the line, such as a mage version of the electric knife, or simply and crudely increase the value of W.

"In addition, Ryze and Rockbird have been slightly weakened, and the CD of Galio's ultimate has been greatly weakened. It is obvious that the designer is targeting the support mid laner." Hongmi said.

Ryze, Rockbird, and Galio are all mid lane heroes with a very high appearance rate throughout the spring version.

Galio has actually been slashed once, and now he has to use spells and equipment, which essentially reduces the hero's fault tolerance. But who knew there was a [Aftershock] talent that forcibly made up for the problem caused by the decrease in Galio's tankiness. Then the helpless W gets out of the way, allowing the hero to still stand up in the middle.

It’s also understandable to cut down the roaming mid laner.

The change brought about by the S8 season is that the overall tankiness has dropped, making it easier for everyone to 'die'.

So……

If the mid laner roams the side lanes, the probability of making a profit will increase. In the past, it was impossible to kill people due to lack of damage, but this version simply cannot happen.

But that was not the intention of the fist.

What Riot wants is for you to trade more blood and get more solo kills during the laning phase, instead of thinking about which mid laner on both sides can clear the line faster or support faster.

So just give it a quick chop!

The purpose is very clear. You all should play the laning game honestly to increase the enjoyment of the game and increase the bloodiness of the game. Don’t think about playing too much or too little.

This is not because the designer is targeting a certain team, it is purely to enhance the enjoyment of the game.

"In short...these are the problems. Let's play more training games to find out the problems."

Since the LPL division won its first S championship last year, its gold content has also increased, especially with Li Feifan sitting on it. It is a simple matter for JD.com to schedule a training match.

Redmi has also made various bold attempts.

Finally came to a conclusion.

That is……

Dao Mei seems to be able to swing in the middle and top, but in fact, the impact of the top position on the game is far less than that of the mid laner.

The reason is that this version of the top laner has limited influence on the game. Even if you can have a certain advantage in the lane, it will be difficult to convert it into the team's advantage.

First, the area that the top lane can radiate is not as good as the middle lane.

Second, the single-band environment has changed.

In the previous version, there was a green jungle knife, and your teammates could provide you with a full field of vision to ensure that you can safely lead alone, but this version does not work. If you dare not lead the line too deep, then the role of the solo sword girl will be infinitely weakened.

But the middle road is different.

The middle line seems to be short, leaving little distance for Dao Mei to pursue, but... Dao Mei is a warrior hero after all, and she is also a numerical monster among warrior heroes.

Let's just put it that way.

Hitting the group of colored pen mages in the middle, even the heroes with the worst stats among recognized warrior heroes can crush them.

I can't kill you solo, but I can easily get lane control!
The middle lane can steadily obtain the lane rights, whether it is cooperating with the jungler's invasion or going to the side lane to jump over the tower, it becomes very easy! !
As for team battles, it's easier to operate.

Because he is a mid laner, he has a high level. A high level is naturally very powerful, and he can go in and attract firepower. Moreover, this version of Dao Mei's ultimate move has a 'disarm' effect. Once the ultimate move hits the opponent's back row, the output of the opponent's back row will instantly Will misfire.

Hongmi also sorted out the order.

If Dao Mei is released, she will grab it and give it to Li Feifan in the mid lane, allowing Li Feifan to use his super personal ability to lead the team.

As for how to deal with the knife girl?
It’s not like Hongmi hasn’t tried it before. I can only say... that it can handle it. If Li Fan gets some specific heroes, he can beat Dao Mei.

down these days.

Jingdong's training match winning rate is pretty good, basically maintaining 6-7%.

However, Hongmi is not so optimistic. After all, the opponents in the training match are strong or weak, so it can only be used as a reference.

Just the presence of Li Feifan made him feel relieved.

He probably understands why Dun Ma can be so calm no matter what the situation is.

He can rest assured if he has a player of Li Feifan's level in the middle.

As the game draws closer, the status of all JD players is also adjusting little by little. Professional players must learn to adjust their status and strive to be in the best shape for every game!

at the same time.

Domestic audiences are also paying special attention to JD.com’s participation in MSI this time!

Domestic results are good or not.

What fans want is the results in foreign wars!
The requirement for championship teams has always been that you must be tough at home and be strong abroad!

Otherwise, no matter how many domestic championships you win, you will only be given a 'Civil War Fantasy God' hat.

May 5st!
The much-anticipated MSI is about to officially start the group stage, which can be said to have focused the attention of League of Legends players around the world!
In order to cater to the viewing experience of global audiences, Riot Games has also arranged the event time well.

The start time of the game happens to be 7 o'clock in China, the prime time in the evening!

In the European LCS studio in Berlin, Germany, players from the six participating teams gathered together to prepare for their official debut to welcome this brutal fight! !
PS: There will be more later, there will be more later, don’t worry!
