Chapter 174 New version, Flower Crisis?

Just as Chang Xian had expected at the beginning, his rating immediately caused an uproar in the comment section and barrage.

In previous tournament previews, almost no blogger dared to rank the three teams, Happy, Blue Rain, and Blossom.

After all, the strength gap between the three teams is really very small, and every moment is full of uncertainty.

The predictions made today might be proven wrong by the confrontation between them tomorrow.

Even if there is no slap in the face, considering the number of fans and traffic of these three teams, such provocation is tantamount to seeking death.

However, after careful consideration, Chang Xian boldly made the arrangement, even ranking Fanhua at a very low position of B+.

There is only one reason that prompted him to make such an evaluation, and that is the version.

That's right, version.

Speaking of which, the version thing is almost the most troublesome thing for Pei Yunteng when he studies the operation and event preparation of the League of Legends game.

After all, in the League of Legends game system, the thing most likely to cause huge controversy in a competition is the version.

In the past, until T13 won the championship in s1 and Faker was crowned the four-time champion, the version issue of League of Legends has always been a sensitive topic.

Every year, conspiracy theories about official custom champions flourish on certain platforms.

The reason, apart from venting emotions, is that the version can really determine the outcome to a certain extent.

In this life, when Pei Yunteng started working on League of Legends, he actually planned to use the so-called "perfect version" given by the system.

At that time, he was optimistic that this was a way to resolve the version dispute once and for all.

But the facts soon proved that this idea was somewhat naive.

First of all, if the perfect version is used, how should the alliance maintain the update frequency?

When Pei Yunteng attacked Glory, an important entry point was the extremely slow version update of Glory.

If a company's own games cannot be updated intensively, they will face a boomerang.

Another reason is that the so-called perfect version of the system is actually not that perfect.

The same hero will have completely different strengths in different segments, different positions, and different positioning.

Not to mention the difference in difficulty of getting started.

However, if the so-called perfect version of the system doesn't work, then what version would be more appropriate?

The final version used was based on the S5 and slightly adjusted.

Pei Yunteng didn't think much about choosing this version, mainly because he first started playing League of Legends with this version.

And this version is relatively early, without so many monsters, so it can be updated for a long time.

But the S5 is not a worry-free version either.

This year's S League is called the darkest year for LPL, and the version should be blamed in a sense.

Before the World Championship, due to the lack of a tower and protection mechanism, swapping lanes between the top and bottom lanes was a very common choice.

Once the lane is swapped successfully, the top laner usually can't even get the soldiers under the two-on-one situation of the bottom lane duo.

The most popular way of playing at that time was that the top laner would first follow the jungler to gain experience from two groups of wild monsters, and then return to the top lane tower to make up for the damage.

This kind of play means that it is basically difficult for the top laner to develop very well.

In such an environment, in professional competitions, team-fighting top lane heroes such as Maokai, Centaur, and Gnar, who do not rely too much on development, are very popular.

This trend continued until the eve of the World Championship, and basically turned into the unbearable memory of EDG recruiting Treant and asking him to play top lane.

The situation where the players in the top lane are mixing with each other and waiting for a team fight is obviously something Riot does not want to see.

So before the start of the World Championship, in order to introduce the "heavy warrior" category that restrains tank heroes, Riot carried out a large-scale version update.

This update released a bunch of monsters.

Garen with the big villain mechanism, Noxus who kills everyone, the new version of Gangplank and Sword Princess...

And the third hammer had nine times the damage, and the experience would not be shared by teammates. He hammered LGD into the top 16 with one hammer after another, becoming an invincible Iron Man.

Such a large-scale change before the World Championship directly caused the rhythm of the World Championship to be completely disrupted.

The LPL, which had been accustomed to competing against each other for a whole year, was caught off guard and had no time to adjust, and was defeated in the World Championship.

Therefore, the saying "the darkest year of LPL" was born.

With such a painful lesson before him, Pei Yunteng had no choice but to take it seriously.

If League of Legends continues to update according to Riot's pace in its previous life, it would be digging its own grave.

But if there are no large-scale updates and no heavy-armored warriors, the top laners of LPL, except for Tang Rou, will probably gradually shift to a mixed situation.

Therefore, after many discussions and surveys with the system, Pei Yunteng decided: update in advance!

Anyway, this is the first year of the game, and it’s a time when high-speed updates are needed.

It would be better to just let the S5 version of the original world end the MSI of this world ahead of time.

Taking into account the lessons learned in the previous life, Pei Yunteng postponed the version update to more than ten days before the start of the global playoffs, and officially launched the new version during the playoffs.

Those who can enter the playoffs must have a relatively strong ability to adapt to the new version. The entire playoff schedule should be enough for the champion team to adapt to the rhythm of the new version and fight for MSI.

In addition, Pei Yunteng also learned from the experience of the specific effects updated in the previous life and made some changes.

For example, the infamous Iron Man with Three Hammers was not released by him.

Another example is the weakening of the stats of heroes that were later proven to be too overpowered.

And the first blood tower mechanism.

That’s right, although the lane switching thing is exciting to watch at the beginning, it does ruin the experience of going on the road.

Even though S5 released a bunch of monsters, the lane-swapping strategy was not completely abandoned, and ultimately allowed Marin, the top laner who was best at making up for development, to win the FMVP.

Therefore, Pei Yunteng simply brought out the changes to the first blood tower mechanism and defense tower protection mechanism that were originally only seen in S6.

Since the bottom lane defense tower has no damage reduction, once the lane is changed, the team pushing down the tower will definitely be faster than the team pushing up.

In this way, the bottom lane duo can be tied down in the bottom lane.

Such a huge version update naturally caused a stir among the player community.

……

"Dear audience members, please don't rush to curse. I made this judgment without any intention of looking down on Team Fanhua."

Chang Xian had obviously anticipated the possible public opinion storm and explained calmly.

"Please read the large version first."

“Whether it’s the redesign of the heavy warrior or the major changes to the defense tower mechanism, it only means one thing.”

"That's because the officials are tired of the current situation in global competitions where the top laner always chooses two tanks to start a fight and then switches lanes crazily at the beginning."

"Under the new version, the risk of lane-swapping tactics has increased significantly, and the number of teams that dare to force lane-swapping will definitely decrease."

"So I assert! The weight of the top lane, especially the weight during the laning phase, will definitely increase greatly!" Chang Xian's tone was very affirmative.

Suddenly, he changed the subject and imitated the fans' words vividly:
"Then there must be a viewer who will ask: Lao Chang, Lao Chang, why should my Dafanhua suffer when the top lane's weight increases? Do you look down on our Brother Hai?"

"Of course not!" Chang Xian said firmly.

"Based on my understanding of LPL so far, the top laners of the Big Three will definitely perform well in the new version!"

"There's no need to say much about our Roushen. Although Hai Ge is usually more stable, his ability to suppress opponents in his highlights is among the best."

"Although Naiweilan is a young player with a little bit of experience, he has a very deep hero pool and is very smart."

Having said that, he suddenly sighed.

“However, just because the top laner is excellent doesn’t mean the team can quickly adapt to the top lane meta.”

"Since its establishment, the Fanhua team has always been a team that focuses on the bottom lane."

"The laning suppression power of Zhang Jiale and Sun Zheping's Bloodshot combination is unique in the entire league."

"If a team like this wants to suddenly transform into one with Hai Ge Zhao Yang as the core and get used to this style of play, it will definitely have to go through a period of pain."

"Unfortunately, Fanhua is not a team that excels in competition and training."

Speaking of which, among the strong teams, Fanhua does seem to be a bit unique.

Although with the support of Baihua, they soon had their own professional competition and training group, and broke away from the scope of a makeshift team.

But compared with Happy and Blue Rain, there is still a little gap.

After all, the former is just an ordinary strong team in Glory, while the latter two are real giants.

In addition, there are two geniuses, Yu Wenzhou and Ye Xiu, in the team.

On Fanhua's side... Can you believe that it is Zhang Jiale who is usually in charge?
That's the AD who needs the most operation, but he has to distract himself to do commanding.

Fanhua was able to defeat second-rate teams like Yizhan and Xuanqi and come third, all thanks to their strong individual abilities and the support of the lane-switching version for the bottom lane.

But now, the version has changed.

For Blue Rain, their core tactic is to use the jungler and support to set the pace, and their training group is the best in the entire league. It is not difficult for them to adapt to just shifting the focus of offense to the top lane.

There is no need to say more about Xingxin. With Tang Rou, a weird top laner who can only attack and not defend, they have been going against the version throughout this season.

The version has changed? Tang Rou can now bully the opponent's top laner without worrying about being suppressed by the opponent's bottom lane group?
That would be a real New Year for Xingxin.

Only the flowers are blooming, and the future is not so bright.

Can the flowers still maintain their previous magic? Many people can't help but ask themselves.

"Although I also want to see the dream scene of veterans like Zhang Jiale finally realizing his dream,"

"But judging from the current version and the alliance situation, the combat effectiveness that Fanhua can display in the new version is still a little worse than that of Xingxin and Blue Rain."

"Therefore, I can only give a B+ rating. I hope they can slap me in the face with their actual actions!"

　The second update is here, that’s all for today.

　　Monthly call ticket.
