What is a hexagon jungler?

Before the match against Guodian, Redmi specially held a plenary meeting. (Due to cache reasons, please visit the .\\nCOM website directly with your browser to watch the fastest chapter update)

"When we played EDG, it happened to be in time for the actual LPL version," he said with a serious attitude. "Because of the Lunar New Year, the patch will directly transition from 2 to 4."

This can also be regarded as a domestic tradition. The team responsible for the Sinicization patch has to rest, so a small version will be skipped every spring, and it will be made up after the holiday is over.

The same is true for the competition server. Tencent was too lazy to dismantle the 3rd version of the foreign server update during the Chinese New Year and install it separately, and simply launched it together with the 4th patch.

"Updating the two versions directly will undoubtedly bring about a huge change in the appearance of the game, especially with the most important patch of the Spring Split..." Redmi said.

I mentioned Riot’s update system before—the mid-season version is divided into spring and summer games, and in the middle of the two seasons, there will be a more important version of the content, which is responsible for connecting the past and the future, so as to avoid the common use of the entire league. The heroes are all the same and it bores the audience.

And version 3 exists like this, and it will directly affect the second half of the Spring Split!

"Fortunately, the LCK has already implemented Patch 3, so we can get more data to analyze the changes in the overall arena environment."

He turned on the projector and presented the patch information to all members of the VG training department.

"First of all, it's Swain's rework," Hongmi talked about, "now his hero mechanism will be more suitable for the arena environment, but I think the high score ranking in the Korean server and the appearance rate and winning rate in the LCK are not high, so For the time being, you don’t need to spend a lot of time practicing, just familiarize yourself with the skills.”

Swain even changed his title from Commander of Strategists to Commander of Noxus. Everything from the original painting to the model to the background story has changed. There is one less crutch, which looks much more pleasing to the eye.

You must know that the Crow only made an appearance with the green-armored vampire in the Fatan version, which was all the rage in the S6 summer split, for a while, and had to sit on the bench for the rest of the time, and it was even more unpopular in qualifying.

Now the skill set has been completely revamped.

The key is Q [Touch of Liberation]. At present, killing units can also get mana recovery. Compared with the previous version that is extremely lacking in mana, the ability to rely on lines is undoubtedly a huge improvement!

Coupled with W [Imperial Vision], which can detect the field of vision, and R [Demon Sublimation], which is both fleshy and output, it becomes very suitable for the professional arena.

But the problem is that the values ​​are not very reliable, and the alignment strength is still a little bit low.

However, with the pissing nature of the fist, the next version will definitely strengthen the crow, even if it is to lift Swain to the professional stage.

Redmi turned to the next slide, "The second point we need to pay attention to is the weakening of mages. The cooldown of the yellow chicken's first-level Q skill is directly increased by 4 seconds, and now the soldiers stabbing enemy heroes will also make the yellow chicken Chickens themselves attract aggro from enemy minions."

"This weakening is quite ruthless," Gu Xingzhan smiled, "It was cut on the main artery."

Why is the current version of Yellow Chicken so strong?

Relying on the fact that after the hero becomes brittle in the early stage, he still has a strong laning consumption ability!

After Q slows down the enemy, it ensures that the comet hits, and often a wave of blood exchange can reduce the opponent's health by more than 200 points.

The most outrageous thing is that as long as the top yellow chicken controls the distance well, it can initiate a non-injured exchange blood against many heroes, and the enemy has no ability to fight back!

Now the level 1 Q [Sand Attack] is weakened and the cooldown is 15 seconds, which means that the blood exchange frequency of the yellow chicken will drop sharply during the laning phase. In addition, the change of the mechanism that the sand soldiers stab will attract the hatred of minions will also make Az It is difficult for Seoul to exchange blood without injury.

All in all, two changes aimed at weakening the rooster's laning abilities!

This is undoubtedly a great benefit for VG who is not very good at the yellow chicken system!

"Sweet!" Kuro looked excited, and waved his arms, "I have long been displeased with the B-hero, the yellow chicken, the designer cut it well!"

"The other thing is that Ryze's big move + golden body escape mechanism has been deleted," Hongmi used a laser pointer to draw circles on the changed content of the rune mage, "it's okay, Sister Li, this move is too brainless, the fist can Tolerating three small versions is not bad."

From Riot's point of view, Ryze's big move + golden body makes the opponent have no countermeasures, loses interactivity, and makes the enemy feel frustrated.

It's a bit like the enchantress with the silent version before, the people who were killed by her surprise attack can't resist at all, and it is reasonable for the mechanism to be cut.

In addition, Tianshan Child Elder Zuo Yin was also murdered.

Compared to Ryze and Yellow Chicken, she is the worst one.

The core skill Q [Flying Stars] cooldown is increased, the base damage is slashed, and the ability power bonus is cut in half!

Zuo Yin, the original line tyrant, now has difficulty clearing the line, and the knife with his fist directly drove her into the sewer!

"After the changes, the LCK's mid lane is now full of flowers," Hongmi showed KR's league data. "After the weakening of Ryze and Yellow Chicken, the basic strength is still there, but it has been reduced from a dominant position to a popular choice. In addition, two heroes, Snake Girl and Rock Sparrow, have been added, and another character is also ushering in the return..."

"Galio!" Li Ruixing's eyes lit up as he looked at the list.

"Yes," Hongmi nodded, "Its pick rate can recover, one is all due to peers - strong lane heroes like Huangji Zuoyin have been cut off, and Galio's laning environment that emphasizes resistance It will be much looser and more comfortable.”

"The second is because of the changes in the aftershock talent in version 2."

Redmi started to talk, "Although the aftershock damage has been reduced a bit, the initial defensive resistance has been greatly improved, from the previous 20+30% self-resistance to a level-based 70-120 points of dual resistance, starting at level 1 For example, in the previous version, 167 points of dual resistance were required to successfully exchange for 70 points of resistance."

"And after reaching the full level, the gap will be even more exaggerated. It turns out that if you want to use Aftershock to gain 120 points of dual resistance, you need to have 300 points of resistance. Unless it is a pure meat tank, it is simply unrealistic!"

"It is conceivable that after the aftershock changes, the frankness of the carrier will not be increased by a little bit!" He said eloquently, "When the Riot designer increases the bonus of Galio's ability power, it is forcing players to choose AP. route, but Galio’s entry method itself needs to be supported by frankness, otherwise it is easy to enter the field and die suddenly, so no one cares about it in the professional arena before.”

"But now as long as he carries the aftershock, Galio can gain extraordinary frankness, and he can return to the ranks of popular mid laners after the pressure on the line is relieved!"

Kuro was so beaming that he almost opened a bottle of champagne to congratulate himself.

The mid laner's environmental change has completely come to his comfort zone!

"Hey, is there still Sean in the mid laner?" The team leader Jin Wenhyuk, who was listening on the sidelines, noticed the highlights on the list.

"I was just about to talk about this," Redmi changed the topic, "Sion has suddenly emerged, ranking in the mid laner T2 sequence, and his current appearance rate in the LCK is rising steadily."

"The reason why he appeared in the middle lane is very complicated. To make it clear, we must mention an important change in version 3," he switched to another slide, "This is also the root cause of the current change in the strength of the LCK league. "

"The Stalker's Dagger, or what we call the Green Jungle Knife, was removed from Summoner's Rift by the designers."

The VG players started whispering.

In the professional arena of the past two years, the green jungle knife has been played in most of the matches.

In the final analysis, the importance of field of vision in the professional arena has been infinitely expanded, and the two eye positions provided by the green jungle knife appear to be extremely cost-effective in this case.

But in version 3, this piece of jungle equipment that had a profound impact on the professional arena has become history.

This is bound to cause a huge change to the canyon environment!

"The foundation of Korean-style management has been destroyed!" Gu Xing saw through the truth at a glance.

"That's right," Hongmi agreed with his own jungler's opinion, "The disappearance of the green jungler knife became the last straw that broke the camel's back!"

Hou Ye's translation is as trustworthy as ever.

"The appearance of the [Zombie Guard] talent directly abolished the true sea of ​​eyes tactics, and at the same time seriously damaged the foundation of LCK's vision, and the deletion of the green jungle knife is a fatal blow to them!"

Everyone in the VG training department recognizes how important the role of the green jungler knife is in Korean operations.

In the League of Legends, most of the task of controlling the field of vision falls on the two of Nosuke.

After losing the green jungle knife, the field of vision of the jungler can basically only rely on real eyes, and the burden is all on the support!

However, there are only 3 eyes in total in the salary package, even if the support position puts all its strength into feeding, it can't cover the entire Summoner's Canyon!

You know, the essence of Korean operation is vision.

Obtain the enemy's information through the eye position, and then go to the line transfer operation, keep pulling and splitting, and slowly eat away to win.

Therefore, as long as the ability to control the eye position is severely punched, the Korean-style operation team will be greatly reduced in pulling skills without getting the enemy's vision information!

This is also the key reason why the records of the two classic operation teams, SKT and Samsung, continued to decline after the LCK patch was updated.

On the other hand, KZ, which inherited part of the legacy of the Tigers, and KT, which rebuilt the team with the LPL three heroes as the core, did not emphasize operations, so they were able to adapt quickly, and the rankings are booming!

Even Gu Xing dared to say that the traditional Korean operation will die in version 3!

"So..." Jack didn't know why, "Is there a relationship between the collapse of the Korean operation and the appearance of the mid laner Thain?"

Redmi went on to say, "Korean operations emphasize pulling, and the most commonly used method is split push. They can use sufficient vision to create single-band space for the side lanes—sometimes 41 split push, and sometimes the mid laner also Joining in to form 131 is what they're built on."

The VG members nodded repeatedly.

Split push has always been the nirvana of the LCK team.

With their strong single-man line, they can always take advantage and use the sideways to tear open the gap in the enemy's defense!

Countless LCK top laners have reached their pinnacle on this road!

"However, after the green jungler is cut off, it is all dependent on the support to arrange the eye position. The vision of the leader alone cannot be guaranteed, and the split push strategy will naturally be disintegrated!" Hongmi's voice is sonorous and powerful.

The original green jungle knife + auxiliary eye stone can often control 5-2 pawn lines in the mid-term, protecting the side as much as possible.

Now care about the head and ignore the tail, the assistant uses the eye position to protect the front, and dare not push the sideline, otherwise it will be a dead end if caught; use the eye position to protect the sideline, once the enemy uses the big dragon to force the front and then force it open, the same There is no ability to resist!

Fish and bear's paw can't have both, LCK wants to reproduce the exaggerated sideline operation of "I want it all" in the past, it will undoubtedly be difficult to reach the sky!

"Sion's strength lies in his ability to break this deadlock and revitalize the audience!" Hongmi sped up her speech, "The core lies in this prop..."

"Flag of command."

All members of the team looked up and listened attentively.

"This equipment can greatly strengthen a minion, especially after the active effect is given to the cannon, the cannon with the magic immunity effect will be a nightmare for the enemy's minions, completely destroying the balance of the troop line!"

Hongmi took a sip of ice water to moisten her throat, "If the flag of command is given to the side, it means that this side has an extra line right, which means that there is an extra roster hero, and they can still threaten them without vision protection. Opponent's side defense tower!"

He told the truth straight away.

All VG members took a deep breath and contributed to global warming as usual.

Speaking of this, they can naturally recognize Thain's strength.

If before the 3rd version, the equipment Banner of Command is useless - after all, the minions are provided with magic immunity BUFF, unless the enemy team selects multiple AP characters, otherwise it can be dealt with with only one point!

But after the patch is installed, the side lanes are often free due to lack of vision, and everyone gathers in the front and waits for the team to fight.

At this time, take out a banner of command, first strengthen the BUFF for the soldiers on the sidelines, and then go to the front to receive the regiment. The team will occupy the advantage of a soldier line for nothing, and let the soldiers replace the heroes to drag the enemy's energy!

As for why this piece of equipment will be given to the mid laner Thain, the main reason is that the hero, the old driver, can really mix.

In the current version, there will be more macho men on the road, and the banner of command will more or less waste your own economy and drag down your combat effectiveness.

If you force the flag of command, it is easy to be beaten unconscious by the enemy's top laner.

Playing mid laner is different, most of the mid laner environment is now AP, and the magic immunity effect provided by Banner of Command to minions during the laning phase can make the enemy mid laner sick to death!

Moreover, the Banner of Command does not have a health bonus, and the improved attributes are all resistance, which is not a big increase in frankness.

It is very important to choose a hero with good frankness as a carrier-otherwise the front row hero who has taken the banner of command in the team battle will not be able to play the front row role with due diligence!

Sion has a W that can increase the upper limit of health. In terms of pure frankness, he is also one of the best among all tank heroes. He takes a comet in the middle lane, and his laning consumption is stronger than Ornn. Naturally, he is the best for Banner of Command. carrier!

"For us, the 3-4 version of the patch has advantages and disadvantages," Redmi briefly concluded, "Maibo's single-belt system has been cut and cannot be played, but Kuro's stage is very big."

"Galio's return, and the presence of Sion, the mid laner's banner of command, are all very beneficial to you," he looked at his mid laner, "Prepare well, and don't let Scout ride on your face."

"Don't worry!" Li Ruixing assured, patted his chest, his spirits were so bright, "I must teach Scout a lesson, he must be disgusted to death!"

After returning from illness, Kuro insisted on proving his role in VG with a hearty victory!

...

"Dear Summoners, welcome to the VG Arena of Ditan Sports Center!" the baby shouted loudly.

"After 3 away games, VG finally returned to their home court. They will face EDG, the number one player in the West today, to determine the top position in the league!" Miller followed up and echoed energetically.

"Who will win, we have to look at the results of the next BO3... Not much to say, BP has already started to get hot!"

In the excited voice of the commentator, the BP panel was presented in front of all the audience!
