LOL: I'm in the LPL, that's my fight!

Chapter 90: The Thunder Version is Here!

The importance of vision goes without saying.

In previous seasons, due to the existence of wards, the support player responsible for vision control had to sacrifice a lot of gold to buy vision for the team, especially before the Sightstone item could be completed, which severely limited their development.

In a competitive collision game, no matter how well you play your support hero's mechanics, if you fall behind in both level and equipment, the numerical gap will minimize your impact on the game.

Now, things are much better. With the removal of wards, the task of providing vision has shifted from being mostly the responsibility of the support to being the task of the entire team. Supports no longer need to sacrifice their economy excessively, and their status has naturally risen.

Not to mention...

"Not to mention, in the new season, the Sightstone can be upgraded into a Tier 3 active item, and the stats of this item make it a worthwhile first item for supports."

"In addition, other positions restrict vision purchases. In the early game, if you want to control vision, especially when fighting for resources, the support needs to roam more. This is very advantageous for a team like ours with good teamwork."

Having been immersed in Fu Shiyan's teachings for several months, Li Rui was already able to offer insightful and substantial preliminary analyses of the versions.

"Jungle, jungle, now it's my turn in the jungle."

Wu Chen couldn't wait any longer, "Old Zhu, the jungle changes also affect your top lane, listen carefully."

"First, jungle monster experience has been reduced, and their respawn time has also been changed. It will be much harder for top laners to farm jungle monsters and get a level 2 start. Also, there's a new Rift Herald in the top half of the map, so resource team fights won't just be a matter for the bottom half anymore."

"Oh right, and there's also the dragon. The value of the dragon has increased further, which raises the requirements for the coordination between the mid, jungle, and support. The team must control the dragon."

After saying that, Wu Chen nudged Zhu Dan, "Old Zhu, it's your turn."

Zhu Dan was taken aback: "Huh? Huh?"

His own "notes" were spread out on the table.

Actually, he only wrote three lines of text in a crooked manner, one of which read "The Medicine King cannot leave the house."

"I...I...I don't know."

He scratched the back of his head, causing a tuft of hair to stick up.

"Brother Yan, please let me go—"

Her voice carried a hint of genuine pain. "When I was in school, my head would throb and I'd get a headache just memorizing a text. I passed the final exams by begging the student next to me to pass me cheat sheets. Now, if I have to look at these densely packed revisions, analyzing equipment, monsters, and experience points line by line... I'm really going to die."

When Zhu Dan said "I will die," his tone was exceptionally sincere.

Fu Shiyan looked at him and remained silent for two seconds.

It's not that Xiao Zhu is lazy or disobedient; it's just that the ability to "read long texts and extract logic" simply doesn't seem to be in his brain.

Let him play in the game, let him execute the tactics, and he will do it perfectly.

But asking him to analyze each of the dozens of changes, deduce their impact, and predict the future of the version is basically like asking a fish to climb a tree.

Fu Shiyan's lips twitched, but it ultimately turned into a very soft whisper.

...walking on the ground.

He silently reviewed his "personnel planning" notes in his mind.

Just as not every athlete can reach the end of their professional career, not everyone is suited to work in the training and competition team.

Some people are born to be commanders, some are born to be scouts, and some are born to stay in the camp and manage the rear well.

Zhu Dan is an honest, disciplined, and meticulous person – he's always the first to notice when someone's mouse is out of power, someone's cup is empty, or the drinking water in the training room needs changing.

This kind of person isn't suited for data analysis, but putting him in a youth training camp as a manager, overseeing the daily lives, training schedules, and emotional well-being of those fifteen- or sixteen-year-old kids, would be a very reliable option.

At worst, we can put him in that position later.

As for the present, let him focus on doing what he does best in the competition.

Fu Shiyan withdrew his gaze and stopped making things difficult for Zhu Dan. "OK, listen to what I have to say."

"The core theme of the S6 preseason patch can be basically determined: neutral resources have increased in importance, and the role of junglers and supports has been further enhanced."

"Conversely, top lane warriors have generally been weakened, tanks have risen again, and bottom lane marksmen have increased their output capabilities while also needing to balance the needs of early and mid-game skirmishes."

"In addition, the talent changes are very important. Everyone must conduct research on how to adapt them to their own hero pool."

"Thunder Lord, Undying Grip, and the Power of Time—these are the core elements, especially Thunder!"

Fu Shiyan tapped the whiteboard.

I don't know if the game's designers were drunk, or if that's just their skill level.

In a single season update, a discrepancy in numerical values ​​has emerged in the core element of talents.

Compared to other damage-dealing talents, Thunderlord's Edge is far superior. [It triggers additional damage after dealing three attacks to the same hero.]

[10 x Hero Level + 30% Bonus Attack Damage + 10% Ability Power.]

With only a twenty-second cooldown, he dared to say that anyone on a professional team who wasn't just sitting around doing nothing would realize how terrifying this talent was.

Version 6.1 might have to be renamed Thunder Lord version.

It's not a dream for five heroes to each have a Thunderbolt.

"Speaking of which, wouldn't it be a perfect match for Lucian, with Old Bull leading Thunder and Lucian going bot lane?"

Li Rui said subconsciously.

"Holy crap..."

Zhou Heyang also exclaimed in surprise. After seeing that his brother Yan did not stop him, he explained, "Right, with a 20-second cooldown, if Alistar and Lucian each cast Thunderlord's Decree, that damage would probably kill those squishy support champions at level three."

"Ugh... I suddenly feel the pressure in lane has increased dramatically."

"Yes, that's right." Fu Shiyan gave an affirmative answer. "So in the new season, I will have higher requirements for your online training. If you want to make it into the LPL, it's okay if you can't gain an advantage online, but you absolutely cannot collapse."

"..."

Half an hour later, Fu Shiyan, having finished interpreting the version, began assigning tasks.

"These are the heroes you need to train more with."

"Bottom Lane: Lucian, Caitlyn, Kog'Maw, Ezreal!"

Support: Alistar, Braum, Janna, Zyra!

Top Lane: Poppy, Nautilus, Shen!

"Jungle: Kindred, Graves, Nidalee, Master Yi!"

After speaking, Fu Shiyan looked up and saw two pairs of blank eyes in front of him.

"Zera?"

"Magic Gun?"

"Sword Saint?"

Li Rui was fine. "Brother Yan, you're not saying that Zyra's seed can trigger Thunderclap, are you?"

"Whether it is or not, you'll know once you try!" Fu Shiyan kept everyone in suspense.

"What about me? What about me?"

Wu Chen felt his little brain go blank for a moment. "I can understand Kindred and Nidalee, they're from the current meta, but what the hell is Graves? And what the hell is Master Yi?"
