Entering August, the competition intensity of the LPL Summer Season has reached a new level, and the BO5 competition system where you lose or leave is bound to be more exciting. However, regarding the official schedule planning, some players have recently questioned it, believing that the overall schedule is too slow;

On the other hand, personnel changes in various teams are also ongoing. TES, which just announced that it would support Zoom, was unexpectedly boycotted by fans...

The better you play, the longer you rest.

The LPL Summer Season is about to enter the playoffs, and the results of the next month will determine which teams will make it to the S-League stage. This year, due to the changes in the new competition system, the summer regular season has been divided into multiple stages. However, some netizens have recently raised objections to the playoff schedule.

The LPL playoffs schedule is a bit too long. It starts on the 10th and goes all the way to the 30th. Because of the double-elimination system, the top-ranked BLG and LNG can get the advantage of playing two fewer rounds. It's just that the time without games in the middle is a bit too long.

LNG will rest for 23 days and BLG will rest for 19 days starting from the end of the regular season. This will have a huge impact on both the players' state maintenance and the viewing experience of everyone. Especially after the winner-lose bracket finals, there will be a week of rest before the summer finals.

On the other hand, in the LCK region, in the past several consecutive games, the teams that emerged from the loser group would never drag their feet in playing against the winner group teams back to back. At the same time, this is also an advantage for the winner group teams. Regarding the adjustment of the competition system, LPL audiences have always been very vocal.

I just hope that next season, the authorities can realize this and make changes.

TES fans boycott Zoom

The League of Legends e-sports community is not large, and personnel changes between teams are quite common. Recently, WE's assistant coach Zoom was revealed to join TES to provide 1-on-1 guidance to 369. His position in the team is likely to be the same as that of xiye who joined during the offseason, and he will impart more of the experience of veterans.

However, TES fans were not happy about it and started arguing over this matter in the super chat, listing some of the comments made against TES after Zoom left the team.

Zoom had played for TES for a short time before, but because of his declining personal competitive state, he did not achieve any results that season and gradually faded out of the professional arena. However, when commenting on TES games or mentioning TES-related events later, Zoom did not give any positive comments, which caused dissatisfaction among TES fans.

This season, Zoom coached WE, but WE's performance was worse than in the spring season. You can't blame a specific individual for the team's performance, but TES fans are skeptical about whether Zoom's joining the team can improve it. If TES can perform well in the future, everything will be fine, otherwise Zoom may be hit by a boomerang.

Senna's mechanics have been overhauled

Senna is one of the most special heroes in League of Legends. When she was first released, she was clearly positioned as an ADC, but due to multiple changes, she was forced to become a support. Although she has infinite growth attributes, the current version of Senna can basically only be used with a hard support, and she herself does not take last hits.

In the recent US test server update, the designers further adjusted Senna's mechanism:

Growth attack speed: 4%/level - 2%/level

[Passive Skill] Absolution

Every 20 layers of black fog provide critical hit rate: 10% - 8%

[Q Skill] Dark Hole Destruction

Healing Effect: 40/50/60/70/80 (+40% Spell Power) (+30% Bonus Attack Damage) (+160% Armor Penetration) - 40/60/80/100/120 (+80% Spell Power) (+40% Bonus Attack Damage)

Slowing effect: 15 (+6% per 100 spell power) (+10% per 100 bonus attack damage) → 15 (+10% per 100 spell power) (+15% per 100 bonus attack damage)

[W Skill] Endless companionship

Imprisonment duration: 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2 seconds - 1.25/1.5/1.75/2/2.25 seconds

[R Skill] Shadow Blaze

Shield value: 100/150/200 (+40% spell power) (+150% black fog amount) - 120/160/200 (+70% spell power) (+150% black fog amount)

The benefits of armor-piercing equipment for the new version of Senna have been completely removed, and replaced by an increase in AD and AP bonuses. However, with the further weakening of the growth attack speed, the benefits of AD play have been further reduced. Therefore, in the next version, you will most likely see Senna appearing with AP equipment. At that time, her positioning will also be more inclined to a nurse-type auxiliary.

However, in this case, Senna's passive soul-collecting ability will become useless. The specific changes in the gameplay will have to wait until the official launch before we can make an assessment.

So what do you think of this change as a boost or a nerf for Senna?
