The LPL Summer Season has ended, but the neighboring LCK still has nearly two weeks to go before the regular season ends. Currently, GEN is at the top of the list with a record of big wins, but surprisingly, T1's status has fluctuated greatly since its return from the Saudi Esports World Cup. Losing to FOX and HLE successively made their ranking fall out of the top circle, and losing to GEN made the top player in LOL, Faker, feel very guilty, and even banged his head against the wall during the post-match review.

Not long after Faker's wall-hitting incident, the League of Legends designer team announced a list of changes for the new version 14.16, which included heroes that will be strengthened and weakened in the new version. It is worth mentioning that because AD shooters have dominated the mid lane for too long, Riot designers also strengthened traditional AP mages on a large scale in version 14.16, including Tsar and Clockwork, two regulars that can be seen on the world stage.

After seeing this list of changes, it also caused controversy among netizens in the e-sports circle. Many netizens believed that this was another customized version for T1 by Riot. After seeing T1's decline in the summer season, they specially strengthened the heroes that T1 is good at. After seeing the strengthening of Tsar and Clockwork, two of Faker's signature heroes, some netizens couldn't help but comment: "Is Riot customizing a champion for T1 again?"

In fact, the term "customized version" has been a hot topic among LPL viewers since T1 won the championship last year. This time, the list of enhancements was announced shortly after Faker hit the wall, which inevitably made the audience connect the two together. However, after all, AD mid laners have dominated too many mid lanes before, so it is expected that Riot will strengthen traditional mages this time. Moreover, there is still some time before the World Championship, and it is not certain that it is the version for the World Championship. Therefore, it is too early to say that it is a customized version now.
