As the World Championship was about to begin, Riot designers had a big surprise for all the teams in the six major regions.

Version 5.16 arrived, and a thick layer of patches was driven into the bones of the alliance.

The punishment stream was singled and cut again.

Mainly due to the change of the Jungler Knife of the Molten Giant, the bonus health bonus has been reduced from 25% to 15%.

For the top order, the cost performance of this equipment has become lower again, and the tanks are equivalent to being collectively weakened.

In previous versions of the update, the designers' actions have already shown signs.

However, compared with the previous minor repairs, this time the knife action is obviously more ruthless and decisive than before!

However, this is just one of the many changes in the patch.

Two new pieces of gear will be available in the Summoner's Canyon Store.

The Stryker Gloves, commonly known as the Bloody Hands, appear in front of everyone's eyes.

This piece of equipment is very magical, and it can be said that it has created an extraordinary hero for the current alliance pattern.

You know, in the Alliance's traditional top order, the definition of a warrior is rather vague, or rather, because it should be clearly divided into tanks and assassins, there is no real warrior.

This is because of the equipment, in a relatively balanced development perspective, each top laner needs to weigh the two of frankness and output.

If you want to get meat, then you have to sacrifice the output.

If you want to increase your own damage, you need to give up a certain amount of frankness.

Of course, if you have a big advantage, or even a piece of equipment ahead of others, then you will naturally be able to achieve both meat and output.

One more piece is endless, and the damage is naturally high.

However, if it is normal development, the top orders will have a headache.

In the more ancient versions, there is a piece of equipment called the Atamar's Halberd, commonly known as the Dung Fork, which provides both meat and output attributes.

However, this piece of equipment was removed by Riot last season.

In other words, there is no such thing as equipment that has both output and meat in the true sense.

Doesn't the old version of the black cut and three-phase count?

The HP bonus provided by these two pieces of equipment is only slightly higher than that of a red crystal.

Now, the equipment of the bloody hand is undoubtedly eye-catching.

Giant's Belt + Longsword + 1190g (2550g total).

The equipment is cheap, but the effect is powerful!

+500 Health, +25% to Base AD.

Passive: Taking at least 400 to 1800 damage (depending on level) over 5 seconds grants Primal Fury for 8 seconds. Primal Fury: Size and Strength Increase, +25% extra base AD, and a rapidly decaying shield at 30% of your Max Health.

For heroes with warrior attributes, this is simply a boon.

In order to truly embody the word 'warrior', Fist really spared no effort this time.

Several other pieces of new equipment are coming one after another.

Giant Hydra!

Crafting method: Tiamat + Giant's Belt + 400g (3300g in total).

+400 Health, +50AD, +100% Base Health Regeneration.

Combined with the passive of Ju Jiu, this is undoubtedly a piece of equipment that has both meat and output.

New equipment, landing of the plate armor of the dead, and changes to the way the Black Cutter is crafted.

Of course, there are some other equipment changes in this patch, the Banner of Command is cheaper, the life regeneration aura has been removed, the effect of the Legion Holy Shield has been reduced, and the price is also 300 pieces lower.

There are also spikes, tanes, and ice fist tweaks.

Who has benefited the most from the entire equipment change?

A discerning person can see it at once.

That's right, it's the warriors who hit the road!

Riot has confirmed that the S5 World Championship will use the version after 5.16.

Well, with this patch, the landscape of Worlds has undoubtedly changed dramatically!

On the list, it will play a greater role.

For the surprise brought by the riot, many teams shouted:

"I'm defenseless!"

This resulted in some tactics that had been laid out and had to be rearranged, and many deployments were disrupted by this patch.

The change of equipment is one thing, and several heroes have also undergone varying degrees of changes.

First of all, there is the Hand of Noxus.

The designers added the Blood Rage mechanic to him, which gave the guillotine a new lease of life.

Metal master Maud Caesar, overhauled!

Q Skill attacks three times, and at full level, the damage of each attack is 3 times that of the previous one!

For example, Q is 100 damage under the first time, then the second time is 300, and the third time is 900.

W and E skills also change to varying degrees.

In addition, the passive of the ultimate Death's Child can act on the dragon and control the dragon soul of the Death Dragon.

This change may bring new ways to play Metal Master.

Because the attributes of that dragon soul are really buggy, he will upgrade over time, his HP is very high, his attack power is good, and it comes with AOE damage and slowdown, which is a sharp weapon for siege!

Then, Galen was also changed by the designers, and the ultimate added a large sword mechanic, which will bring real damage.

Heroes such as Crystal Pioneer, Ahri, Bullhead, and Yellow Chicken have also changed to varying degrees.

At the same time, the strange gameplay of the small fishman has been noticed by the designers.

The base damage of the W skill is lower, but the benefit from AP gear is higher.

The designers clearly wanted to put the little fishman in the right position, and didn't want Fiz to go astray.

For this change, the Ximen official of the AHQ team was grinning.

For him, the little fishman is equivalent to being strengthened.

Mid lane fishmen mainly play bursts, and the AP bonus becomes higher, which undoubtedly improves the ability to break out and kill alone.

As a traditional craft of Ximen, the little fishman really wants to praise the fist this time, and then, the source plan skin of the official mall is online.

This time, the movement of the fist is very large.

Ordinary players find it very novel and begin to try out various equipment and modified heroes in the matching rank. Experience new skins.

I have to say that the special effects of the source plan series of skins are really good, and many people have given good reviews.

They had a lot of fun, but the professional teams suffered.

Especially those teams preparing for S5 are even more anxious.

Even the European team, which is usually more healthy, has greatly increased its training time this time.

Unfamiliar equipment, unfamiliar heroes, unfamiliar World Championship versions, and positional variables brought by the top order.

Damn, this surprise is damn damn.

If you don't study it clearly now, you will definitely suffer a big loss when you are in the World Championship.

On the forum of the national server, there are also many people talking about this change.

IG fans and LGD fans are mixed, but EDG fans are excited.

"Damn, is this Destiny on the show?"

"I announce, Xiu'er has officially taken off!"

"The strongest top laner has caught up with the top list version, who else is not too much to shout now, right?"

"This version update is really good for EDG, these people have been playing on the road as the core for a long time, and before that, there is a bit of a reverse version of the meaning, that is, because Xiu'er's personal strength is too strong. However, now that EDG's tactics have changed from the reverse version to the compliant version all of a sudden, what kind of dominance will it be?! ”

"The sun is shining, and the good days of bastard orders are over."

“……”

Of course, there are also people who say this:

"This change was very abrupt and not necessarily a good thing for EDG. Rather than change, I think it's better not to change, EDG's dominance in the last version has been full, and now if it is changed, it is a variable. ”

"Yes, the World Championship is about to start, and the time for the team to stay is too short, and the equipment and new heroes need to feel to get used to. Even Xiu'er needs a process of adaptation. This version change made me a little panicked. ”

……

However, more show fans remain optimistic.

Even, some show fans think this is a good thing.

Xiu'er's game understanding is invincible, and he may be able to pick it up faster than others.

In this way, it is an advantage.

In short, the S5 finals have not yet started, and the major regions have warmed up in advance, and the atmosphere is very strong.

Fans are looking forward to the Grand Final.

On September 21, there are less than 10 days left before the start of the S5 World Championship.

Under the watchful eye, Riot launched a new operation.
