136 Malicious Intentions from Designers
"Today's meeting is mainly to discuss the MSI version, and then briefly introduce the opponent." Banbazi explains: "We had a three-day holiday, so we had to get used to the new version. ”
Even if he is a former three-star blue coach with a lot of game experience, he is also a little nervous when he faces the MSI competition.
The MSI competition was a first for everyone here.
After all, this competition was newly created last year, and only EDG has experience in the entire LPL, and EDG also won the championship of MSI last year.
This year's team was replaced by QG, and if they failed to win the championship, it was estimated that they would have to be liquidated by EDG fans.
At that time, I'm afraid that there will be words like "let EDG go and win" will come out disgusting.
At the end of the day, it's not sports and athletics that audiences like, but championships. All popularity is based on the championship, as long as you can win, then you deserve to have the stars to hold the moon.
But once you lose, the backlash will be greater.
Of course, this is not a problem, after all, there are pros and cons.
After all, wouldn't it be nice to keep winning? Isn't it because of lack of strength?
"The MSI format is simple, the first round is the group stage, and there are six teams in total."
It's only 2016, and many of the wildcard divisions aren't yet in size, so MSI only has six teams participating.
Banbazi flipped through the PPT, and the second page showed a table showing the six teams competing in the group stage and their regions.
North American LCS – CLG.
European LCS – G2.
LPL——QG。
LCK——SKT。
LSM – Lightning Wolf FW.
and, finally, the only Wild Card Division.
IWC (Turkey) – SUP.
Banbazi said: "For the remaining five teams, we can put aside the Turkish team, the two teams in Europe and the United States, the Korean team, and the LMS team are the targets that we need to pay attention to." ”
"Of course, it's useless to talk about this now, there will definitely be training matches with them in the future, and we will find out about the details later."
Banbazi continued to flip through the PPT and saw the content about the version update.
"MSI uses version 6.8, and the national server has been launched two days ago, and compared with version 6.6 of our playoffs, two versions have passed, and they have changed a lot, so I have a few key points in this circle."
"First of all, there's a hero to pay attention to, Knife Sister Irelia, who has a big boost in this version"
Before the words fell, Chen Dongqing had already frowned slightly.
Knife Sister is a hero, he really doesn't have much proficiency.
Mainly because, his knife sister's proficiency is basically on the new knife girl after S8, but now the old knife girl, he hasn't played it for several years, how can he be proficient.
The point is that the difficulty of this hero is not low, it cannot be learned overnight, and because this hero is difficult to play, he has not practiced.
But for the present word.
What kind of enhancement did he get noticed by the professional team?
Q【Blade Impact】
The blue cost is reduced by 10 points, and the AD bonus is increased from 1.0 to 1.2 total attack.
"it." Chen Dongqing frowned slightly: "This is too strong, right?" ”
Dao Mei's Q skill is his soul skill, this Q directly adds a bonus of 0.2, isn't this going to heaven?
That means that it is now possible to kill ranged creeps with a Q without much attack damage, giving you the ability to move flexibly.
In this way, it is indeed a lot more comfortable in terms of line and single belt.
"I don't need to say anything more about this thing." Banbazi said: "Chen Dongqing has practiced recently, and you like this kind of bells and whistles heroes, so the knife girl should be fine, right?" ”
Chen Dongqing: "."
"Then, there's Bobby and Ike's nerfs on the road"
Bobby's passive cast range is reduced by 100, and the E skill cast range is reduced by 100, all of which are reduced to 425 points, and the Q skill damage is weakened, which is considered a whole cut, but it also makes sense, after all, this hero is really disgusting.
Ike's W and E's base damage has been slightly weakened, but the AP bonus has been increased, and it's obvious that it's trying to chop Ike.
"At the same time, we're going to look at the talent and equipment nerfs together with the Ike nerfs, as they usually come together."
Feast CD increased from 25 to 30 seconds, and Immortal Grip's life steal reduced from 3% max health to 2.5% max health.
(Feast is a talent that restores 20 HP when killing a unit.) )
Reduced Putrefit Potion HP regeneration from 150 to 125, Ice Fist's Spellblade base damage reduced from 125% to 100%,
This series of weakenings, although the magnitude is not large, is all slashed at the body of the top single meat Ike.
But it's understandable, after all, Ike's performance in the playoffs in various major regions is really too eye-catching, and it is understandable to cut it down.
Chen Dongqing is very happy to look at these weakenings, after all, Bobby and Ike don't like to play, and it's okay to cut it, so as not to make Ike disgusting people guarding the tower on the road every day.
"Then, there's the mid lane change." banbazi continues to flip the PPT, "Galio Enhanced"
E skill damage is slightly increased, mana is reduced, and movement speed bonus is increased.
This kind of stuff is not the point, so the coach just brushes it off.
"Then there is the jungler position, the male gun, the leopard woman, and Qianjue are all slightly weakened."
These nerfs are only numerical, and it doesn't hurt, and these junglers should play or play.
But at this moment, the coach suddenly raised his mouth and said, "But there is one point to pay attention to here, the bloodthirstiness of the War Lord has also been weakened. ”
Life steal from creeps has been changed from a fixed 50% to 50% for melee heroes and 25% for ranged heroes.
In other words, ranged heroes are cut in half with the effect of Bloodthirsty Counter Lane.
That's right, it's aimed at the bloodthirsty male gun on the top order!
After this thing was brought up by Chen Dongqing, it appeared occasionally in major leagues, and it was extremely reckless.
Now this knife is cut down, which can be regarded as an extinction for the upper single male gun.
Chen Dongqing sighed slightly, but there was nothing he could do, he knew that this was just an event that would definitely be experienced in history.
"The last word, it's time to go down, and there's only one focus on the next road, the drama master is enhanced."
Base movement speed is increased by 5, health regeneration is increased, and the passive fourth shot will crit towers.
This kind of enhancement will obviously make the drama master, who already has a good appearance rate, a popular choice all of a sudden.
"This time it's a big point." The coach spoke, "Jane is proud to pay attention. ”
It has to be said that this is indeed a notable issue, as Uzi doesn't seem to like this kind of hero with an extremely slow attack, so he has always been uninterested in Ember.
Uzi nodded when he heard this.
"And then there's the most important change." Banbazi cuts the screen to the last scene of the PPT and says, "Death time adjustment!" ”
The change is simple: the respawn duration has been reduced between 30 minutes and 55 minutes.
At the same time, the designer also warmly reminded under this line of changes:
"We've also made changes to the death countdown so that you don't lose a game because of an unexpected loss of a teamfight when you're ahead of thousands of economies, which sounds very special, but it's much more likely to happen than you think."
The change is simple and straightforward, which is to minimize the possibility of a wave of miracle group turnarounds in the mid-game, and also increase the capital of the team to run the game in the later stage.
Weaken fights and encourage operations.
The time it took to win a wave of regiments before was able to dismantle a defense tower + barracks, but now it is only enough to dismantle a defense tower.
Coach Banbazi began to analyze:
"I have detailed data on my side, and since this change, the average game time in ranked positions has increased by 1 minute and 43 seconds overall."
"Don't look at this statistic, it's not much, but qualifying is fast-paced, and it's quite scary. If you're playing a slower-paced professional game, the impact of this change will only be even greater! ”
Banbazi looked at him seriously: "I make a bold prediction that in this MSI, mages like Victor and the Tsar may appear in the late stage. I have to say that this is actually bad news for our team. ”
One of the most advantageous weapons of their QG team is the 41-point push in the middle of the game, and their early offensive ability is one of the best.
This ability is directly reflected in the game time, their average game time is 26 minutes and 30 seconds, and on the LCK side, ROX, which has the strongest offensive ability, has an average game time of nearly 30 minutes.
This weakening is undoubtedly good for the operation team and weakens the reckless team that focuses on the early and middle stages.
Of course, the details of this change are not yet known, and it still depends on development.
Banbazi then went on to analyze some of the minor changes, and then asked the players for their opinions from time to time.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour before it slowly stopped.
"This point is only my judgment based on my personal understanding." Banbazi finally summed it up: "We still have to wait until the 6.8 qualifying numbers are stable and we play training matches. ”
"So, let's all take action, let's all go into the qualifying match and feel the version, the game is approaching, we don't have much time!"
Over the next few days, QG moved into the hotel where Riot had arranged for training, with all the rooms and training rooms.
After the start of the game, even QG on their own turf has to live honestly in the hotel, which is mainly about fairness on the surface.
(Actually, I don't know this very well, but I searched on the Internet, when the S10 World Championship was held in Shanghai, the LPL team stayed in a hotel, and I wrote this MSI according to this rule.) )
At this time, the participating teams from other regions have basically landed in Shanghai, and the number of QG training matches has increased significantly.
Taking advantage of this time, QG can also be regarded as figuring out the strength of the remaining five teams.
First of all, the Turkish team, indeed, as imagined, can be left alone.
Secondly, the three teams of North American CLG, European G2, and LSM Lightning Wolf are roughly similar in level strength, and QG is an advantage anyway.
If they play these teams, QG are confident that they can win.
Of course, there is no point in winning against these teams, and if you want to win the championship, SKT can't pass that level.
However, if you play against SKT in a training match, the win rate is not ideal.
I have to say that as a two-time champion team, as a team with Faker, the strength of this team is still too perverted, and the inferior operation is impermeable.
Even the current QG, against SKT, the winning rate is only 40%, and it is difficult to even open five or five.
The reason for the low win rate is actually very simple, the first is that QG can't pass the level of the old man of time.
Doinb's two unique skills, Titan and Rambo, can't get any benefits in front of the old man of time, and they are directly beaten as toys, and before finding a new hero, they can only consider banning time.
The second reason is the result of the resurrection time revision, and sure enough, this change has had a negative impact on QG.
SKT itself is a Korean-style team that focuses on defensive counter-attacks, and this change to reduce the resurrection time is simply tailor-made for them.
Compared with the spring game, SKT will choose more heroes such as Tsar, Ember, Wheel Mother, Qianjue, and even Little Fishman, focusing on a defensive counterattack.
(This version of Ember is very strong in the late stage)
With their mature style of play, SKT was able to easily drag out the game beyond 30 minutes.
At this time, QG's offense will suddenly become constipated, and even if they win, it will be difficult to do things, and many times, they rely on the early offense to lead the economy of four or five thousand, but they can't get up to the high ground of SKT.
Well, this scene was often encountered in the LPL playing LCK in the previous life.
You can't go up to the opposite high ground if you're four or five thousand ahead, and you're less than a thousand ahead on the other side and you can easily break your three-way.
In terms of operational ideas, there is too much difference between the young QG and the sophisticated SKT.
After more than 40 minutes of the game, after the C position reaches the god costume, QG's early fighting heroes begin to show fatigue, and the game enters the rhythm of SKT.
Coach Banbazi frowned at this situation and was still looking for a solution.
You can't get in in the early stage.
Do you want to choose a late-stage hero and compete with SKT for the ability to operate the game?
This is even more TM looking for death!
For a while, the situation was still a little deadlocked.
The day before the opening of MSI, the team still hadn't found a good solution.
"It's okay, it's okay, you can find a way slowly." Lingo relieved the pressure on the side and said: "The game starts tomorrow, everyone have a good rest, we are the hosts, we are going to play the first game!" ”
“OKOK。” Chen Dongqing was lying on the gaming chair with a calm face, he listened to the manager's words, turned around and said good night to his teammates, and then returned to his hotel room.
Lying on the bed after washing, Chen Dongqing thought a lot.
His face was calm, and it was all pretended in front of the team.
In fact, he's under a lot of pressure right now.
He understands the predicament that the team is in now, which is very simple, it is nothing more than the inability to tear a large enough wound in the early attack, and even if he takes the advantage, it cannot be converted into a victory.
And QG's offensive point in the early stage is nothing more than the troika, the linkage of the midfield, the sub-zone on the road, and the push tower on the bottom road.
As long as the three wagons can run smoothly, victory is easy.
But the problem is that SKT is not an EDG.
Needless to say, the first carriage Nakano linkage was directly pressed to death by a Faker.
What about the second carriage?
Uziga Liu Qingsong can still play an advantage in the face of DEFT and meiko, but now facing the wolf stick of SKT, it will not be good.
S6's bang is known as the existence of the perfect AD template, hexagonal warrior, not to mention the Korean wolf wolf, the existence of Shi Yi's assistance, only Brother Genshin can wrestle with him.
In fact, if QG can play evenly on the lower road, it is already quite difficult.
Two of the three carriages have been scrapped, and what about the last one?
It was also a difficult run.
Duke: He's so steady.
As the owner of Ike's champion skin, after he got Ike, the defensive ability he possessed made Chen Dongqing breathtaking.
Even Ike, who has weakened the circle as a whole, is an existence that is difficult for Chen Dongqing to break through
In this way, a low win rate is inevitable.
In a way, SKT's current team style is restrained by QG.
For Chen Dongqing now, he can't control the affairs of his teammates, and his first task is to run his own carriage.
How to break through Duke?
Chen Dongqing thought about it, and drowsiness gradually attacked.
In a daze, he thought of a solution.
But he is not sure yet, and it needs to be verified.
Let's wait until the group stage is over!
The most important thing in front of us is to be ready and play well in the group stage in front of you!
Chen Dongqing turned over, let the quilt wrap his body tightly, and fell into a deep sleep.
Kindness. The bed in the hotel was too soft and not very comfortable to sleep in.
Two more 8,000 words are presented, MSI will be opened tomorrow, and the brothers will see you tomorrow
