Chapter 190: The Top of the Canyon, the Rise of the Mid Laner

Chapter 190 - At the top of the canyon, the mid laner rises

The major Tieba forums were abuzz.

Players participating in MSI from each division will train here, which is a very attractive attraction.

The bonus points and gold coins also make many players very excited.

The major anchors are even more determined to kill professional players and become famous in one fell swoop.

"It's interesting. If the quality is high enough, we won't have to deal with such high delays to play in the Korean server."

Xiao Ming is very happy. He doesn’t like the feel of the Korean server, which is not as comfortable as the Chinese server.

The high latency is one of the reasons why there are so few Chinese players at the top of the Korean server rankings.

When playing Korean server in China, even if I turn on a dedicated accelerator, there will be a delay of 50, and occasionally it will be 70 or even 100.

Professional players and high-end players are particularly sensitive to fluctuations in ping value. A slight delay will affect the feel and connection of skills. Only about 80% of one's strength can be exerted. After getting used to the delay, the strength will only be 90% at most.

"It's not good. The Chinese version is updated slowly and cannot keep up with the international version."

Jack thought further.

The national server version has never been able to keep up with other competition regions. The biggest reason is the review.

Every version must be reviewed before it goes online, and only after it is confirmed that there are no violent or sentimental elements will it be allowed to go online.

This review will often be one or two versions worse than the foreign server.

"If something like this happens...there should be some changes this time."

Yuan Shen was thoughtful.

The influence of MSI this time is much greater than what I remember.

The impact of winning the S5 World Championship continues to this day.

World Segli became famous last year, and subsequently attracted a lot of capital investment.

Jia Yueting’s LeTV is one of them.

In addition, it is also interesting to add e-sports, Top Sports, Republic of Players, Li-Ning Sports...

If the results in a certain competitive competition are very good, it will drive social attention to this project.

More than ten years ago, the most popular sport for the older generation was football, but because of the national football team, there have been no new football fans for a long time.

On the contrary, table tennis has come from behind and has become a popular event from an unpopular event.

More than half of the students in the country can play table tennis.

Why do players from all regions like to train on the Korean server?

Because the LCK team has been the champion for two consecutive years, because they are recognized as the strongest division.

This has resulted in fresh blood from all competition regions gathering in the Korean server. Under the high-intensity competition, the Korean server has always maintained a high-intensity level that is ahead of other servers.

LPL won the Grand Slam for the whole year last year, but due to the inherent impression, it always feels like a flash in the pan.

Many people are now questioning the good luck of EDG and IG last year, running into two versions that suited them very well.

But if we win the championship again this year, it won't be a coincidence.

Perhaps by then players from other divisions will gather in the national server.

Perhaps by then the national version will be able to keep up with the international version.

Yuan Shen has many ideas in his mind. How about it? Isn't it very bold?

People always have to have some hope. Now that he thinks about this, he is very motivated to train and play games.

He is not short of money or fame now, and he has no pressure in life at all.

Interest and work have become his motivation to play the game.

There are only two things he is doing now.

One is to see how the world will develop if LPL wins consecutive championships.

One is to see where the limits of TheShy, Rookie, and Jack are.

Is there anything more interesting than changing it with your own hands and creating something you like?

"In this case, aren't they afraid that no one will play in other regions?"

TheShy asked curiously.

When he played the national server for the first time, he was directly intimidated by the dozen or so regional choices on the interface.

But when I think that China's area is nearly a hundred times that of South Korea, I feel relieved.

"No, despite the fact that there are so many barrage kings, the number of diamond players actually only accounts for 5% of the total, and most of them are diamond five goalkeepers. It is estimated that only about 1% to 2% of players with diamond one or above ”

"Other players just join in the fun and play wherever they should."

Jack and Yuan Shen explained.

"I don't understand, shouldn't I shut up if I don't understand the game? Why can they still type? Doesn't this expose their ignorance? Some of the comments made me want to laugh."

Xiao Ming didn't understand it very much. When he played games, people would always say that he was playing this or that wrong. The problem of being a teacher simply got into his bones.

"It's not necessarily true. You might really be able to eat enough if you listen to people's advice."

Yuan Shen's eyes were a little strange, and he remembered some things that happened in the future.

Some people are advised to change their image, while others are advised to become cosplayers. Internet celebrities imitating celebrities from all walks of life are everywhere.

If nothing else, you can earn much more than working part-time.

…

After the Spring Festival ended, life returned to normal.

The LPL finals version is 6.6, but the Chinese server has already been updated to 6.7, and version 6.8 will be launched soon.

League of Legends usually updates its version once a week. The Chinese server will launch version 6.8 in a few days and will not be updated in a short period of time.

Therefore, from the perspective of major professional teams, it is no surprise that the six teams participating in MSI are working hard on how to play the 6.8 version of the SI Mid-Season Championship.

Including IG, they are also practicing like crazy.

Because we are playing in China, it is much easier to make appointments with opponents for training matches.

But IG only made an appointment with two opponents, one was EDG and the other was LGD.

On the one hand, the strength of these two teams is considered top-notch in the LPL. On the other hand, the three teams had cooperation experience in the World Championship last year, so there is no need to worry about internal information from the training games being released.

Version 6.8 is updated and the changes are quite big.

After the 6.8 version was updated, everyone gathered around Fumanduo's computer to watch the version update announcement, and there were discussions from time to time.

"Wow! What a big change!"

"It's all changes to AP equipment. Is the mid laner about to rise again?"

"It seems that MSI is the version of the mid laner, Lao Song, don't pull your hips when the time comes."

First, there is the weakening of Mercury.

Starting from this version, Mercury can only remove control effects, but cannot remove debuffs.

In Yuan Shen's memory, this change only appeared in version 6.9.

But now, it’s ahead of schedule.

In other words, the ultimate moves of heroes such as Jie, Hole Sucker, Troll, and Sword Queen cannot be canceled by Mercury.

It can be regarded as strengthening these heroes in disguise.

Secondly, the equipment of Ancient Will is officially removed, and the new Hex equipment series is officially launched.

Hex Tech Gun, Hex Prototype Rocket Belt, Hex GLP.

Vampire gun, push stick, ice gun, three classic Hex equipment are now online.

Not only that, the missing new equipment Zhang Jie has also been officially launched, and the Ghost Book has also been redone, which enhances the AP hero’s continuous combat capabilities.

The Staff of Time has been reworked, the hourglass cooldown has been increased, and the Negatron Cloak has become an assassin's equipment.

These changes to AP equipment have completely changed the ecological chain of the mid laner.

In addition, all magic resistance equipment has been weakened, increasing AP damage in disguise.

Not only AP mages have risen, assassins can also appear.

Even Zed, who has been sitting on the bench, can be played.

"Fortunately, our trump card has not been weakened."

Yuan Shen lost interest after just one glance.

This version change will have little impact on them, but the hero selection in the middle and upper jungle needs to be slightly adjusted.

"Come on, heroes like Kennen Ekko still need to practice. The push stick is a huge benefit to them."

Yuan Shen turned around and patted TheShy on the shoulder.

"Push stick? Are you talking about the rocket belt? It's very appropriate."

Jack touched his chin thoughtfully, while Fumanduo looked at Yuan Shen in surprise.

But can you think of a suitable hero just by looking at the version update announcement?

This talent can no longer be described with exaggeration, it is simply evil.

Yuan Shen didn't speak anymore. He always felt that if he continued to talk about it, the secret of his rebirth would be revealed.

Let's show off, I won't pretend anymore, I come from the future.

In the future, one of you will have a serious hand injury, the other will be unable to support himself and continue to be the dean, and the other will be defeated and captured by Vietnam...

It’s outrageous to think about.

The equipment of Push Stick is no worse to some heroes than the force of wind is to ADC.

A hero like Kennen desperately needs a way to enter the battlefield.

In the past, when there was no pushing stick, I could only enter the field by flashing E.

It is precisely because of this that Kenan must make a big mask, a big hat, and Zhongya's three-piece suit to be able to join the group.

Without a big mask, you can't beat the tank in the lane.

Without a big hat, the ultimate move cannot have the final say.

Without Zhonya, the team fight would be killed by the first concentrated fire.

Therefore, before version 6.8, Kennen's appearance rate was actually not high.

Even after collecting all three major items, he still relies heavily on the summoner skill of Flash.

"The impact is not big. As long as we can reach the finals, we can give our opponents a big surprise."

Rookie is very happy.

They have prepared a lot for this MSI.

There are two major trump cards among them, both of which are prepared for the powerful enemy SKT.

Although the version has strengthened the mid laner, who said that the mage can't go to the jungle?

When the time comes, we have to let EDG see what the real four guarantees and one is!

"There is no doubt that the mid-range mage and assassin in the MSI version will rise. Coupled with the already strong jungler and the linkage of auxiliary roaming, the MSI version is a version that belongs to Nakano Suke. Nakano Suke will roll in the early stage. It's easy to win if you have an advantage." Fumanduo gave a summary of the version and then glanced at Jack and TheShy.

This version further weakens the presence of the top laner and ADC, weakening the influence of these two positions on the situation.

I'm afraid that by then, top laners and ADCs will favor functional heroes. They will develop throughout the early stage and see how their teammates play. In the mid-term, they will choose to join a team or lead alone.

The winner of the game will have little to do with the two positions of top laner ADC.

Once Nakano Suke collapses in the early stage, the game will probably collapse as well.

"It seems that Riot is targeting us. Since winning the championship last year, the position of top laner has been targeted."

His posture was a bit dissatisfied, and he felt more and more that Yuan Shen's transition to the jungle was premeditated, as if he had foreseen that Riot would weaken the top laner and strengthen the jungle.

If Yuan Shen can see the trend several versions in advance, he believes it.

But seeing what happened half a year later, he wouldn't even believe it to death.

"What does this mean? In fact, Riot is targeting the champions every year. What they want to see is for the champions to take turns and come to my house this year. Only in this way can the popularity of League of Legends be maintained, the league be energetic, and the fans be excited and excited. Motivation, if there is one division champion every year, fans in other divisions will have no sense of expectation, and the vitality of the league will be gone.”

Fumanduo saw it very clearly, but Yuan Shen had already opened the game at this time and was looking at a hero on the screen in a daze.

"Has the top laner been weakened? I don't think so. Chenglu, I have demonstrated this hero to you. The current version is more suitable for him. You can try it."
