along withLOLCompetitions are gradually being held around the world, and the summer seasons of major regions have already entered or are about to enter the playoffs. As a region with a relatively tight schedule, the LPL playoffs are almost coming to an end, and the neighboring LCK will also start the playoffs. As teams from the top LOL leagues around the world are sprinting towards the S-League spots, the hottest topic in the LPL region recently is unexpected.

LPL is at a critical moment in the playoffs, and the audience's focus will be on the game. However, the controversy over "customized versions" has once again become popular because of a list of changes to the heroes in 14.16 released by Riot designers not long ago. Especially after the end of the LCK regular season, T1 jungler Oner's remarks in an interview have made this trend more and more intense.

As T1's starting jungler, Oner talked about the reasons why T1 had a particularly difficult season in an interview. When answering, he mentioned the issue of the version and said bluntly: "The versions of the Spring and Worlds are usually favorable to us, while the versions of the MSI and Summer Split seem to be slightly inconsistent with us, which may have caused our performance to fluctuate."

Such a statement naturally quickly sparked heated discussions among players and LPL viewers. After all, personally admitting that the version was favorable also made T1's statement of customized version seem more tenable. Some netizens even complained in the comments: "How can you say it is publicly customized?" It can be seen that many LPL viewers did have complaints about this, and believed that strengthening T1 in the past two years before the World Championship affected the fairness of the competition.

The so-called "customized version" of T1 was born mainly because after T1 won the championship, some netizens thought that the version of last year's World Championship was too biased towards T1, such as weakening Gumayusi's Zeli, who was not played well at the time. The changes in this year's 14.16 version, which strengthened Tsar and Clockwork, two of Faker's signature heroes, with the World Championship approaching, are also the main reason for the debate on customized versions to reappear.

However, as to whether Riot really intends to customize the version for T1, this question actually needs to be viewed rationally. In fact, it is a common practice to strengthen traditional mages such as Tsar and Clockwork every time the S game is held, and these heroes are also the basic skills of mid-lane players. As for the argument that customizing the version for T1 will affect the fairness of the game, it is actually not very reasonable, because everyone is using the same version, and everyone can practice and familiarize themselves with the version in a fair environment.

Although the customized version has become a controversial topic now, the authenticity of this matter may never be determined. What do netizens think about this matter? You are welcome to leave a message in the comment section below to share your views.
