Back to S3 with the LOL e-sports manager system

Chapter 185 Changes to the World Tournament Version and Features of the Competition Area

After Sun Kai finished talking about the S3 season and the differences in hero selection between different teams in each division, Sun Kai continued to analyze the game version that will be used in the S3 World Championship for the six players of WE.

In the S3 World Finals, the version adopted is the version officially launched by the new hero Lucian, and the rules of the game are that Lucian is on the Ban position by default and cannot be selected.

Pointing to the picture displayed on the projector, Sun Kai said: "In the competition version, the basic data is changed to only the wild monsters being BUFF refreshed at 1:55, while other small wilds are refreshed at 2:05, which makes it impossible for us to see The only possibility is that after the online hero has the experience of eating mobs and then goes online, the only possibility is that after changing lanes up and down, you can eat a three-wolf or a stone man in the anti-pressure road, and then come out after returning to the city. It's done! But this change is beneficial to us! After all, there is a smile, and we have never been afraid of anyone in the bottom lane!"

Afterwards, Sun Kai continued to introduce the changes to the equipment, the first is the power of the three phases: the change of the three phases is the biggest.The price has been reduced from 3843 to 3628, which significantly reduces the price.

The passive effect of Little Ice Hammer has changed from unstable deceleration to stable acceleration, and the price has also been reduced by 200 yuan, so the synthesis of the three phases is smoother, and the general reaction is that the acceleration effect is better for ADCs. up.

The increased damage after casting the skill, from 150% of the base AD to 200% of the base AD is also a good improvement.

All in all, the powerful buff of the three-phase will definitely make this equipment shine in the S3 arena. It is foreseeable that almost all heroes who are suitable for the three-phase will consider the three-phase as the first choice for their equipment.

This also makes it possible for EZ, a former bot laner, to appear on the stage.

In addition to the three-phase power of the attack equipment, the casting distance of the Blade of the Ruined King has been weakened from 550 to 450, and the acceleration/deceleration time has been weakened from 4 seconds to 3 seconds, once again reducing the optionality of this equipment.

Therefore, under this change, for some heroes with high AD bonus or who rely on leveling A every time instead of attack speed, drinking blood is definitely better than ruined.

Offensive equipment has been strengthened and weakened, and defensive equipment has also been partially strengthened and weakened.

For example, the invigorating armor, the price of this piece of equipment has been increased from 2625 to 2750, and the price has been increased by 125, but the attributes have not changed.

The reason why Riot made this change is because the excitement in the previous version was too strong.

Of course, this small weakening does not have a big impact. This must still be the tank hero’s best equipment against the AP top laner and the opponent’s double AP lineup. After all, compared to the Banshee Veil, The 20% CD reduction and blood recovery effect are too practical.

In terms of defending against AD attacks, the Omen of Lanshield has been reduced by 100 yuan. In this way, it can be made faster to limit the output of the opponent's ADC.

Legion Holy Shield/Steel Yang's Box: Legion and Bird Shield are must-have equipment for the jungler almost when facing the opponent's double AP or single AP with very high output.

After talking about the changes to basic data and equipment, Sun Kai and other WE staff confirmed and digested them, and then continued to talk about the revision of heroes.

In the hero revision, Zac has become the tear of the times.

The successive weakenings made this hero who had firmly occupied the position of the top single brother directly eliminated from the top road food chain.

It can be foreseen that in the S3 World Championship, as long as Zac is selected as the top lane team, the top lane should all collapse.Because the basic damage of Zac's E skill is reduced, the passive pickup range is reduced from 100 to 25, and the ultimate move no longer provides resilience. These weakenings basically let Zac bid farewell to the position of the top laner.

As a jungler, Zac has only been weakened in general compared to the previous version, but in the wild, he is not a priority choice.

ADC Ezreal, as the son of the fist hero, has not been changed or weakened in any way.But because of the three-phase Buff, the traditional three-phase flow EZ is back!In the current version used in the LPL summer playoffs, blue EZ is the most choice, but once it comes to the version of the S3 World Championship, Sun Kai estimates that in the bottom lane selection, the ratio of three-phase and blue EZ is about 7:3, In the middle lane, choosing AD and double ADC, the blue EZ may still be preferred.

Needless to say, Zed is a hero. He is still the best in the mid lane, and because of his cool style and strong one-second style, I believe he will be the one chosen by major mid laners, such as Faker and Reginald.

The hero Tucci Mouse, due to the weakening of his E skill, has slipped from the top AD position. In the S3 World Championship, he is basically on par with the top AD.

From VN to the World Championship version, although it will be slightly weakened, it will still occupy the position of first-line ADC.At that time, the AD position selection in the S3 World Championship will be EZ, Policewoman, Mouse, and VN.

Caitlin policewoman, due to the weakening of rats and VN, she has returned to the position of first-line AD.This is definitely good news for the royal family who can get S3 tickets.

As for the hero Ashe, LPL and OGN don't use it much, but the European and American divisions particularly prefer this ADC, especially C9's ASHE is very famous. ASHE won all 11 games in the summer split, and was banned at other times.

After talking about the changes in equipment and heroes, Sun Kai began to introduce the heroes and tactical ideas commonly used in the competition area.

First of all, Sun Kai introduced the South Korean competition area.

The biggest opponent in the LPL, and the only opponent in Sun Kai's eyes, Sun Kai pays attention to the strong teams and players in this division all the time.

Players of Korean teams like to choose their strongest heroes as their picks.

Under this guiding ideology, they would not even choose very strong or moderately strong heroes, which resulted in some of their professional players having a relatively shallow hero pool, except for certain perverts.

As the most critical point in the current Korean system, the middle lane is usually chosen last, except when robbing.

South Korea started to establish its own tactical system with the jungler and top laner first choice.

In a stalemate, the South Korean team especially likes to hand over their advance skills to kill the opponent's support in seconds, and pull out Tanalong when the opponent dares not start a team.

Or when pushing the tower, their heroes with strong Poke ability will also aim at the support, so as to provide opportunities for teammates to kill the opponent's support.

The teams in the South Korean division, in terms of top laner selection, most of the time before, they only chose two heroes, Zac and Shen.

However, in order to prepare for the World Championships, they have recently started to target Shen, selecting a few vampires and alchemists, and occasionally choosing Crocodile and Kenan to suppress. Apart from this, it is rare to see Korean top laners using other heroes.Jess, who shined in the All-Star Game, was given up by them because of his low error tolerance rate.

Support should be the top position in South Korea. In the top 8 teams of OGN, you can't find a weak support.

Korean support is generally one of the key points to establish their tactical system, so the hero pool is relatively deep, and almost mainstream soft and hard supports can be used. It is worth mentioning that South Korea has been particularly fond of it since half a year ago, that is, during the Spring Split. Zyra is an invincible backhand support.

The Korean team's choice of ADC is also very monotonous. Apart from these three heroes, EZ, VN, and Policewoman, even the weakened Rat seems to be looked down upon by them.

As for the jungler position, the Korean junglers who may participate in S3 this time are all among the top 3 junglers in Korea. KTB and NJSW's jungler SHI OGN is the well-deserved wild king.And SKT's jungler has developed an unparalleled tacit understanding in collocation with Faker all the year round. The most representative hero of Korean jungler should be blind. It is worth mentioning that SKT's jungler will choose Weilai to match Faker's fox, so that Let Faker be a good second person.

As for the mid laner, Faker's hero pool is too deep, and he can choose between assassin and brush late-game modes. NJSW's mid laner prefers assassin-type heroes.
The most noteworthy is Faker's fox, known as the auxiliary killer, and the support under his hands can circle the earth in seconds.

After Sun Kai introduced these, the six people who looked at WE silently did not speak any more.
