Chapter 5 Benefits of Updates
In this world, some people can predict the climate, some people can predict the lottery, and some people say that they can predict birth, old age, sickness and death. But Wang Yafei didn't know that there were still people who could predict the version update of Dota.
Wei Yushi glanced at Wang Yafei, whose expression was a little distorted, and he didn't understand why Wang Yafei was so excited.
Although the school's network speed is not slow, it will take at least an hour to update so much updated content, isn't it Wang Yafei who has already updated it?
Wei Yushi and Xiao Ding looked at the changelog while admiring Wang Yafei's various celebratory poses over there.
"Brother Ping is going to invite me to dinner again, and Brother Ping is going to invite me to dinner again." While Wang Yafei celebrated, he did not forget to sing his own melody that had no tune at all.
Speaking of this, it goes back to a week ago, when the news that the game would be updated was still posted on the Internet, and Wang Yafei had already boldly predicted in his bedroom at that time that "in the next few days, the entire Dota 2 will usher in a big update".
Xiao Ding and Wei Yushi didn't care too much about Wang Yafei's prediction, but the honest Xie Ping was accidentally fooled.
Xie Ping's opinion is that the whole game is obviously good, how can it suddenly change too much, so Wang Yafei successfully let Xie Ping gamble with himself. Maybe Xie Ping can't understand why Wang Yafei could expect this kind of thing to this day, he thought that he could ask Wang Yafei to invite him to dinner 100%.
It's a pity that Xie Ping is not here now, otherwise after winning a meal, Wang Yafei can still feel Xie Ping's worship of him.
"Ah, Phineas, how could you have predicted that the game would be updated, could it be that you know someone from the game company." Wang Yafei has already designed the lines for Xie Ping.
Of course, in addition, Wang Yafei was also happy for Uncle Ling and the whole team. Because Uncle Ling's judgment was correct, they didn't waste their time in vain.
After this update, the whole team can also officially enter the rhythm of joint training.
There are less than 20 days left before the official start of the provincial competition.
"This Uncle Ling is really powerful, he can even guess the version update." Xiao Ding still didn't hold back, he seemed to be talking to himself, and he seemed to be saying to Wang Yafei.
But no matter what, his goal was achieved, and Wang Yafei, who was still posing for POSE just now, suddenly became petrified.
"Hey, how did you know, did Uncle Ling tell you?" Wang Yafei raised his head and asked.
"Uncle Ling didn't tell me, I'm not his closed disciple, but Feishen, didn't you make a bold prediction in the dormitory before, I guess that must be what Uncle Ling meant, but it's a pity that Brother Ping is still too young." Xiao Ding smiled faintly.
"Just you, this guy knows everything...... Wang Yafei felt that this Xiao Ding was not a particularly good chatter, and he couldn't talk happily at all.
"There are too many things I don't understand, but Uncle Ling is still amazing. No wonder he has been standing still, it turns out that everything has been planned a long time ago. There are a lot of changes involved in this update, but luckily we didn't do a lot of tactical work before this, otherwise it would have been a lot of work. Xiao Ding said.
The content of this update is huge, and it can be said that it has exceeded Uncle Ling's expectations, he thought that according to the previous law, after a major revision, there will be a relatively mild repair version.
However, Uncle Ling didn't expect that in addition to the restoration, there were many new changes this time.
For example, using a jumping knife will no longer consume mana. Another example is that everyone has a salary increase, and from now on the automatic gold gain rate will increase from 1 block every 0.8 seconds to 1 block every 0.6 seconds.
Don't underestimate this 0.2-second change, it's a boon for support players.
At the same time, there are also slight restrictions on the transport of bottles in the middle lane. Either team will not be able to purchase the Flying Courier for three minutes after the match is played, and only when the three minutes are up, will the players on both sides be able to upgrade the normal Animal Courier to flying status.
To a certain extent, this restricts the way of transporting water in quick bottles, but this is not what Wang Yafei needs to care about.
"Whoever likes to go will go, anyway, I won't go."
He seems to have forgotten that he had been so attached to the middle lane.
In addition to these changes in the game mechanism, other things are the same as what Uncle Ling envisioned, those "Heavenly Kings" have been weakened to varying degrees, and some relatively unpopular heroes have been strengthened.
However, the heroes that Wang Yafei is good at seem to be very lucky that they have not been overhauled, and only the Batrider, who has been in a state of popularity, has been weakened again.
Batrider has had his base attack power reduced, and his initial laning ability has been somewhat affected, but this can't shake Batknight's status, and it can only be said that the mid-laner bat may be slightly more difficult to play than before.
But Wang Yafei seemed to want to know more about the centaur warrior's market, as Uncle Ling said, this guy really got a little stronger, and his first-level ultimate move was shortened by thirty seconds.
The cooldown has been changed from 120 seconds to 90 seconds. Don't underestimate this enhancement, as it means that in the early and mid-to-mid stages of frequent battles, Centaurs will have a better chance of actively participating in battles.
This kind of change makes people not like before, in the past, Centaurs would often be reluctant to amplify, because they were afraid that there would be no ultimate, so they missed some opportunities to kill each other online alone.
Now, when you reach level six, you can try to open a big wave, and in the absence of jumping knives, it is also a good choice to open the ultimate to accelerate and step on people.
"Parker hasn't moved, the Bristleback has been slightly strengthened, Doomsday has been weakened, and the Lumberjack has been reduced a little bit of strength......," Wang Yafei, who had calmed down from his excitement, began to read the relevant change log carefully.
Wang Yafei must keep these changes firmly in mind, because each change has the potential to determine the winner of the provincial competition.
For example, Wei Yushi doesn't like the constant change of versions, but for Wang Yafei, the changes to the game are by no means a bad thing.
Generally speaking, the more experienced a player is, the more averse they will be to changing the game. Because when the game changes, it means they have to start working on it all over again.
Not only is it necessary to start re-researching the tactical style of play that is suitable for the new version, but even the heroes may have to be re-familiarized.
Those old heroes who are already very comfortable with them, when they are weakened, may no longer be suitable for the original positioning or outfit, and then they must find a new way to play, just like the alchemist, and now the alchemist's shaker has been reduced in the modulation time, which means that the alchemy must throw the "unstable compound" in a short time, otherwise it will be very easy to "self-detonate".
This modification will make alchemy no longer simple and brainless, and it will also greatly reduce his ability to wander in the early stage, from the past to the rich and handsome who brushed money in the past to be so bitter as now, haha, I'm afraid that even if he is a master of alchemy, he will have to adapt to it for a while before he can get it right again.
And heroes like some heroes whose skills have been overhauled may change from "stars" to "passers-by" in an instant.
For example, the Earth Spirit classmate, because his skills were redone, he also fell directly from the altar. Not only is the position of the king of heaven not guaranteed, but looking at this posture, I am afraid that no one will frequently choose this hero to rush to score.
The longer you play, the more you rely on experience, but a newcomer like Wang Yafei doesn't have to worry about this kind of problem, because even if many things don't change, they are new to him. As for the technical and tactical parts of those games, Wang Yafei can also face them calmly with ignorance.
So if everyone adapts again, Wang Yafei will be like barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. Besides, the treasures he is good at haven't changed much.
In the case of Wang Yafei, there is also the entire guard school team that is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, because they have a single tactic before this, while other teams may already have countless sets of relatively mature tactical systems.
But now, each team has to start over to find the best way to play for the new version. Some heroes will sit on the cold bench, while others will become stronger, and even if there is no difference in the style of play, there will definitely be adjustments to be made in the selection of rosters.
However, the game is imminent, and even the most powerful tacticians cannot make a team eat a new version in less than a month. In this case, they can't come up with a lot of tactics that fit the new version, but being able to do one is pretty remarkable.
Even if it is a professional team, with their ability, I am afraid it will be difficult to do this, more teams will choose to follow the old tactics of the past, and then explore and improve through actual combat, but this effect will not be very good, many tactics that were strong in the past will be greatly discounted because of the version update, so there will be a generation of versions and a generation of gods.
But in a short period of time, there is no way, you can only either "specialize and refine", or "miscellaneous and sparse", and it takes a certain amount of time to accumulate if you want to be "miscellaneous" and "refined".
And the school team itself is the kind of "specialized and refined" team, so ......
They don't have to develop on a "miscellaneous" and "refined" path.
"Here's your chance." After reading the update, Ling Feng said in his heart.
In ancient times, wars were fought at the right time, in the right place. Putting it in the Dota, although such a statement is a bit too serious, since it is an e-sport, it is somewhat similar to marching to war.
If you want to win the championship of any competition, you have to have the right time and place and all three, even if you can't take all three, you have to take one of them at worst.
That day, Ling Feng was fooled by Xiao Ding to the point that his blood was boiling, and while his enthusiasm was burning, he promised to become the coach of the Dota team of Wei School, and even let go of his bold words to lead the team to win the championship.
But after the passion, we must always return to reality, and this journey is not only the entire Yunjia City.
The Dota Varsity Team will face all the winners from all over the province in the provincial competition, and these schools and teams will have a chance to enter the provincial competition after fierce competition and stand out in their respective cities.
Theoretically, the opponent that the Dota School team needs to defeat is not only one Yunjia No. 1 Middle School.
