In fact, the outside world is not optimistic about the performance of the rng team.
Because as professional players' understanding of the version continues to deepen, and the talents of fantasy heroes are gradually weakened, the environment of the top lane position has gradually changed.
Compared with brainlessly resisting each other's damage.
Cutting in, or threatening the opponent's backline with control, has become more mainstream.
So much so that during this period, Kenan, Rambo, Crocodile, and even the enhanced Murloc all appeared on the top lane one by one.
It is different from tanks that can be effective regardless of their disadvantages.
As long as the offensive hero destroys the lane, he will become a decoration.
There are stricter requirements for player strength.
RNG's top laner, also known as Letme, is only above the mid-range level in the entire LPL region. He also created the "full health tower and wave" when competing against different groups.
Therefore, most viewers feel that letme will become the biggest breakthrough in the spring finals.
but.
Xing Dao had a headache at this time.
I know that in the S7 season, the fantasy gods have been harmonized one by one, and the appearance rate and winning rate have plummeted.
We also know that Kalista must be banned in the World Finals, and the strong heroes are Xia Luo and Censer Monster, plus an unreasonably fleshy Zenith Colossus.
But there is not enough memory for what is specifically updated in each version.
During the training game, edg tried to play with Galio in the mid lane, plus the soft assist incense burner and double AD, and discovered a very critical problem.
That is... Galio alone is not enough to withstand the damage!
the reason is simple.
Gargoyle Plate Armor and Adaptive Helmet have not been implemented yet.
Against AP heroes with continuous output, the actual effect of the adaptive helmet is equivalent to two large pieces of magic resistance.
The Gargoyle Plate Armor, which provides up to 80 points of dual resistance and a 100% maximum health bonus, has the same effect as two corresponding defensive items no matter what hero it faces.
Coupled with the shield provided by Colossus' courage talent, as well as functional equipment such as Langton's Omen and Great Ice Heart, there is no way to solve Galio's problem in head-on battles except for special heroes with real damage.
pity.
Not now.
If the jungler is asked to choose a hero suitable for bringing Colossus to make up for tankiness, there will be an embarrassing situation where the midfielder and jungler will not be able to deal enough damage, and after level 6, they will not be able to play 2v2 at all.
That is to say.
The system that edg put a lot of effort into practicing could not be used in the MSI Mid-Season Invitational.
"Don't worry about this problem. You have to practice other things." The factory director comforted him.
"It really gives me a headache. Just after Galio was reworked, there was news about the Gargoyle Plate Armor. It's still on the test server." Xing Dao was quite speechless.
"That attribute is too OP and may not be released." Ah Shui stood from the AD perspective and instinctively resisted the appearance of defensive equipment.
"You can accept it whether you release it or not." Meiko was very open-minded: "Release it and play Galio's double AD system. If you don't release it, you can continue to play 4-1. It's as stable as a dog."
The 4-1 point push is an enduring classic tactic in League of Legends.
No matter how the version changes, no matter how the strengths and weaknesses of the heroes change, a play like four-one-point push will always have a place in the professional league.
Assassins can lead lines.
Heavy warriors can bring lines.
Even tanks with purely meaty builds can still use troop lines to do some pulling.
With Xing Dao here, the four-point push is like the underpants welded to the edg team, and it cannot be taken off by the opponent no matter what.
"right!"
The factory director said this and began to discuss the next game: "Continue to beat letme in a few days, or should I save this trick for msi?"
At this time, Qinggang Shadow Camille is a hero who will definitely be held down.
No team dared to let go of the Spider Kled combination.
Jace and Swordswoman, who are ranked lower than these two, are not helpless.
Many teams have tried it and can barely handle it.
Thus.
The strong teams in each major competition area only need to pay two fixed ban positions when facing EDG.
If you use another combination to compete with RNG in the Spring Finals, it will be difficult to win it again in the MSI Mid-Season Invitational.
"Keep going, there's no need to stay, I have a sword and that's enough." Xing Dao was full of confidence.
Although Sword Lady is still at the Grandmaster level, she is still more than half proficient in becoming a 'Legend', and there is a key threshold to cross.
But Xingdao prepared something else.
I dare not say that if you increase it by one level, you can almost increase your strength by half a level.
It's hard for your opponent to withstand it.
"Okay, then let's continue the military training for him." The factory director was very confident.
Because Kled is not powerful enough against tank heroes, Ah Shui and Meiko are very aggressive in the bottom lane, so when most teams face EDG, they choose to ban spiders instead of Kled.
but.
Spider is not the only jungle hero suitable for teaming up with Kled to jump towers!
Time passes day by day.
soon.
It’s April 29th.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the golden numbers on the big screen started from 10 and counted down one by one.
After turning into 1, it disappeared into darkness.
As the audience cheered, the screen lit up again.
Two young men with edg and rng patterns printed on their backs rushed out of ancient temples and modern villas in the mountains in parkour poses.
Passing by the Peking Opera stage.
Walk through the busy traffic.
Finally, we stopped in front of the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center Stadium.
The screen switches, and the huge Silver Dragon Cup stands between high-rise buildings, with 2017 lpl spring final (spring finals) printed on it!
The camera goes to the main stage.
After the song and dance performance in cosplay costumes, host Ren Dong appeared at the top of the steps.
"Hello, Nanjing!"
"Summoners on site, please let me feel your enthusiasm, okay?"
The voice fell.
Cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami followed.
Countless glow sticks and support signs were waving, rendering the scene into a sea of light.
The voice paused, and Ren Dong raised the microphone again: "After a spring of struggle and sweat, the grievances and grievances of twelve teams, traveling through four cities, and stretching for two thousand kilometers, the ultra-long front will reach the end today."
"The two participating teams have entered the venue and arrived on the stage of the spring finals."
"We have reason to believe that today will be a very exciting game!"
"All summoners, let us show our greatest enthusiasm to welcome the guests who are about to have a decisive battle!"
The spotlight comes on.
All members of edg and rng walked along the aisles on both sides, waving team flags, and walked towards the main stage.
On the big screen.
The team logos of the two teams each occupy a seat, forming a rivalry.
Wait for the contestants to appear on the edge of the stage.
The Silver Dragon Cup, which represents the LPL championship achievement, appears in the center of the camera again.
"Shu Dao fights for supremacy and shows off its strengths!"
Ren Dong's voice echoed in the venue again: "The 2017 League of Legends Professional League Spring Finals begins now!"
