Alliance: If you block my contract, I will just start!

Chapter 335 New Version Online

EDG's decision is like a bolt from the blue for fans, but for LPL, it is undoubtedly very good news.

In the RNG base, the RNG manager was so excited that he wanted to open champagne to celebrate the good news.

As a professional, he knew the inside story. EDG's decision to replace Shen Lang to the mid lane was purely a last-ditch effort.

Shen Lang is indeed very strong, but EDG has two new players in the new season lineup, and Shen Lang was swapped to the mid lane, which he is not very familiar with.

This means that it will be difficult for EDG to achieve good results in the new spring season.

EDG, with Shen Lang, brings enormous pressure to other LPL teams. Even Kwon Jong-hyuk, who hates him the most, could not find any fault with Shen Lang's performance in the World Championship.

If Xiaoxuedi hadn't backstabbed, it would have been very difficult for either IG or RNG to snatch the spring championship from EDG.

According to league rules, qualification for the World Championship needs to be judged based on the results of the Spring and Summer Seasons. The Spring Season may not be as important as the Summer Season, but if you can win the Spring Season championship, as long as your performance in the Summer Season playoffs is not too bad, getting a ticket to the World Championship is a sure thing.

"It would be best if EDG can't even make it to the spring playoffs. By then, we can let the navy lead the pace and easily pull Shen Lang off the altar..."

Thinking of this, Kwon Jong-hyuk couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile on his face.

RNG's performance in the World Championship was very poor, and coupled with the release of the talented player Shen Lang, although Kwon Jong-hyuk was not directly fired by RNG boss Bai Xing, he was scolded a lot and even punished with a pay cut. Kwon Jong-hyuk promised that RNG could achieve better results in the new season before he was allowed to stay.

RNG fans just dislike Shen Lang, but Kwon Jong-hyuk really wants Shen Lang to die.

For him, EDG winning the championship and Shen Lang taking FMVP was more painful than killing him.

Now that there are problems within the EDG team, Kwon Jong-hyuk naturally wants to add insult to injury and find ways to disgust Shen Lang.

……

After announcing the news that Shen Lang was moved to the mid lane, the EDG official Weibo account has not made any comments on the Internet again. Fans and netizens can make a fuss, but they can't change anything.

The new EDG is conducting training and running-in in an orderly manner.

Of course, the so-called "orderly" is just what Shen Lang thinks. He is still in the state of playing badly as much as possible. He only participates in the training game because he can't stand Abu's resentful eyes.

The daily live broadcasts also proceed as usual, but the barrage of comments every day is urging him to return to the top lane, and fans seem to be very anxious to get Shen Lang back to the top lane.

In comparison, Shen Lang is much calmer and doesn't think changing lanes is a big deal. He doesn't play League of Legends during his daily live broadcasts, but instead pulls professional players from other teams to play Chicken Dinner like crazy.

Amid this kind of tanking behavior, Shen Lang's proficiency in traditional mid-lane heroes skyrocketed.

Again, he really works too hard!

……

As time goes by, versions change.

The official vision for the S9 season is gradually revealed to the players.

To ensure the playability of the game, League of Legends designers not only continuously launch new heroes, but also make major adjustments to the game every season.

For example, the rune system updated in Season 8 and the wild monster mechanism updated in Season 7.

This season, the designers focused on defensive towers.

Reduces the early resistance of the defense tower, but covers the outer defense tower with a coating. One layer of coating drops for every 1000 health points lost, and the destroyer receives a reward of 160 gold coins. However, the drop of coating will increase the defense tower's dual resistance by 30 points, and gain a barrier effect that lasts for 40 seconds. Each additional hero next to it will gain an additional 25 points of dual resistance.

The plating needs to wear off around the 14-minute mark in the game.

To sum up, the new version of the defense tower is more difficult to dismantle in the early stage, but the economic benefits it can provide have increased.

Heroes who are strong in laning phase can gain more economy in the laning phase, and development heroes can gain more development space because their defense towers are more difficult to demolish.

For Shen Lang, this change is definitely a big enhancement.

Each layer of plating costs 160 gold coins, and 5 layers are 800 gold coins. Although the official has directly cut the bounty of the first blood tower in half, you can still get nearly two more kills.

Destroying the opponent's outer tower 14 minutes ago was not a difficult task at all in Shen Lang's opinion. Strengthening the defense tower was not a problem, as long as he defeated the opponent twice in the laning phase.

With the economic blessing of plating, you can gain equipment advantage faster in the early laning phase, which naturally makes it easier to kill in the laning phase.

The only thing that makes Shen Lang feel regretful is that the official has also enhanced the early attack power and growth attack power of the defense tower, which means that it will become more difficult to cross the tower and kill the opponent in the early stage.

After the official update of this change was released, it quickly caused a stir in the forum.

Since it is possible to get extra bounty without destroying the defense tower, netizens all thought of Shen Lang.

As last season's FMVP, Shen Lang is most praised for his laning ability.

In the past, other top laners knew that Shen Lang was strong in laning, so they simply hid under the defensive tower in the early stage to develop. At most, they would have less damage. The economic gap between the two sides would not be too big before the defensive tower was destroyed.

But now?

There is no point in hiding under the defense tower, Shen Lang can get the plating.

Shen Lang was already lagging behind in last-hitting because he was hiding under the defensive tower, and now he can also gain plating economy. As a result, the gap between the two sides' top laners during the laning phase will soon be widened.

"The authorities should just feed the championship directly to Brother Weiwu!"

"Don't even care about your dignity, just create a god. The top laner Mighty is hard to handle already, and you buffed him on the spot. How can other teams' top laners play?"

"Yes, yes, it's all Brother Weiwu's fault. Why is he so strong in the line? He is guilty!"

"If you are new, practice more. It's his ability that Weiwu is so strong in laning. But there is no plating on EDG's top lane tower? It's just that you don't have the ability to take it."

"It's no use strengthening it. Weiwu has moved to the mid lane, and his teammates are all newcomers. The championship that the official fed them may not be chewed."

……

Netizens started discussing it crazily.

Immediately after the version was updated, professional players from major teams started ranking to experience the new version as soon as possible.

Their most intuitive experience of this change is the faster pace of the game.

This is a chain reaction caused by the defense tower being covered with plating. In the past, it didn’t matter even if the opponent consumed the health of the outer tower. After all, as long as the defense tower was not destroyed, the economic gap could not be widened.

Now the health of the defense tower is directly linked to the economy. In the early stage, you must not let the opponent consume health and get plating at will. This means that battles are more likely to occur in the early stage of the game.

Then there is the Rift Herald.

The Rift Herald refreshes every 10 minutes, but the Plated Breakfast disappears in 14 minutes, which means that compared to the previous version, the importance of the Rift Herald in the new version has increased dramatically.

In short, with the arrival of the new version, players who are strong in the laning phase will inevitably be more popular.
