dear lpl viewers andleague of legendshello summoners, this is the world game center.

the s14 world championship will start at the end of the month. now the qualifiers for most regions have been determined, but there are still two seats in lck. today, the contest between t1 and dk will take place.

during this process, the chinese server also updated to 14.18, which is the version to be used in the s14 global finals.

s14 version update, blg gets triple reinforcement

regarding the world championship version, the most discussed topic among the audience was which team the designers were customizing to become the darling of the new version. at first everyone said it was t1, and then after the 14.18 version was updated, some viewers began to think that blg got a customized version, including many netizens on the internet who believed that blg was strengthened a lot.

let's briefly talk about this version. in terms of hero enhancements, blg can be said to have received triple enhancements, namely, fox, weapon and prince. these three heroes are what blg is very good at, and they can even be said to be their unique heroes. this is why many viewers think that blg has been customized.

but the extent of fox's enhancement is actually not that great. what is enhanced are the damage and bonus of e, but the e skill is the one that fox maxes out in the end. for a hero who focuses on rhythm, the enhancement in the later period does not actually have a particularly big impact. however, fox can benefit from the enhancement of mage equipment. the key lies in the enhancement of mage equipment.

the weapon has strengthened the dual resistance of the r skill, which is a relatively large degree of strengthening, while the prince has increased the passive damage. the extent of these two strengthenings is quite good. it is expected that both will be played in the world championship and have a chance to become the hot version.

faker seems to be weakened, but he is actually strengthened

in terms of hero enhancements, there are also gnar, jinx, jayce, xin zhao, etc. there are also many that t1 is good at, especially jayce and jinx. the enhancement of gnar is similar to that of bin and zeus. then the point that everyone mentioned before that faker was weakened is the reduction in the damage of tsar's w skill.

the reason why many people changed their minds and said that the world championship version was not customized for faker or t1, but was more suitable for blg was the weakening of tsar. but in fact, it is hard to say whether tsar was really weakened. the key lies in the version environment.

the key point is that faker is not good at playing against ad mid laners, but the trend of changes in recent versions is that the designers have continuously weakened the ad mid laner, and it is a double weakening. not only have the skill values ​​of the ad heroes themselves been weakened, but heroes like charmander, corki, and zeli have also been weakened, and the endurance runes on which the ad mid laner relies for survival in the middle lane have also been weakened.

as for the mages, not only the mage hero's stats were strengthened, but also their equipment. in the world championship version, luden's shadowflame was strengthened. in this way, the mage was doubly strengthened, while the ad mid laner was doubly weakened. in fact, although faker seemed to be weakened, he was actually strengthened.

the mid-jungle ecological environment is the focus of the world game version

i personally think that the key to influencing the direction of the world championship version is the mid and jungle positions. after the ad mid laner became popular this year, the mid and jungle configurations were often ad mid laner + ap jungle core, or in other words, they were paired with some functional junglers. with the changes to the world championship version, the designers intentionally wanted the ap mage to return and make the warrior jungler stronger again.

blg and gen have both successfully adapted to the ad mid-lane version and played very well, but t1's adaptation is not enough. therefore, t1 hopes that the mage mid-lane can return to the ranks of the strong in the world championship.

after the designer's changes come out, the follow-up actually depends on the development of the major teams. in fact, in the current lol era, teams with strong development capabilities can come up with some special hero selections and produce results in various versions. if you want to win the championship, you need to have such capabilities.

it is also suggested that lpl teams can study the new version in a more united manner under unfavorable circumstances. they can absorb more analytical talents before the start of the world championship, grasp the lifeblood of the version at the first time, and then constantly change their understanding of the version in subsequent knockout rounds, striving to win the championship.
