Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the world game club.
LoL introduces huge changes every new season, and after all the games in S11, the pre-season version of S12 adds a lot of new equipment, dragons, etc., and in the process, the audience players are more concerned about a special mechanic change, that is, a special change about the transmission of 14 minutes before the TP tower.
This change will have a huge impact on next year's play ecology, because in recent seasons, TP has almost become the standard for mid-level heroes, and summoner skills such as igniting this line-oriented have almost disappeared.
Impact of TP changes
TP can only choose the tower as the transmission object before 14 minutes, which means that there will no longer be various TP tower crossing events during the line period, if the team still wants to risk choosing 3 pack 1 or 3 pack 2, the opposite side can be easily counterattacked in the form of TP defense tower, so if you want to achieve the early tower crossing tactics, the difficulty will be relatively high.
In this case, the pace of the line period will be slower, and the victory or defeat of the line period will be very important, and those who are very strong in the line and are not good at support will be strengthened.
Only by playing an advantage on the line can we have the initiative to swim, and achieve the tower crossing in the first and middle stages by cooperating with the wild through the way of wandering, it is best to be able to play the opponent's TP through the line, so as to give more pressure to the side.
Driven by the rhythm of the wild position, it depends more on the individual ability of the players, and the risk of single Gank in the early stage will be greater.
In the case of a problem in one of the three lines, the pressure on the inferior side to play the field will be greater, and more help will be needed to help the inferior road, and if a team has strong ability to match the three lines, it is easy to play the dominant rhythm in the first and middle periods.
A version that fits Uzi play
This version seems to be more suitable for Uzi, but the Uzi of S8 is an ADC player who can have no solution to suppress the opponent in the line period, and does not have to worry too much about being wrapped around the opponent in the process of continuously suppressing the opponent during the line period, that is to say, if Uzi's return this time can continue to maintain a strong line suppression force, BLG will play well.
For heroes like the policewoman, who are mainly suppressed by long hands, this version of the space will be maximized.
On the middle of the two roads of the line, it is speculated that the middle road hero play will be more, with ignition with TP can be, and even there may be a situation where the middle road does not have TP, and the possibility of continuing to take TP on the road will be relatively large, it is worth noting that the road is the easiest to be Gank, targeting is also the most likely to collapse the way, so this TP change may also cause another result, that is, the re-emergence of the road tank.
Because tank heroes are not easy to be killed when targeted, even if they are killed, they can stabilize the opposite line very well.
At the same time, because TP can only choose the defense tower, the strength of support heroes such as Nightmare Card Shen will inevitably increase, and whether they can play or not will have to wait for the game to be tested.
New season version rhythm issues
The change in the early TP will lead to an increase in the importance of the line, the overall rhythm of the early season will be slower, and there is another strategic point bounty change in the preseason, which will give the inferior side more bounty, so combined with these two changes, it seems that the pace of the version of the new season will show a slower situation.
Players still need to compete for the canyon pioneer and the dragon in the early stage, and the side with the advantage of the down road line has a better chance to control the dragon, but compared to the previous version, if the stacked dragon cannot get a strong dragon soul, the other party still has the ability to hold on to the delay in the later stage.
Therefore, it is possible that this version is also more suitable for LCK's set of defensive counterattacks.
In short, the new season of this version of the change, in the end will cause what impact we can not be completely sure, can only be based on the past experience to make some speculations, as for next year's version of what kind of rhythm will be, but also depends on the understanding of the team and players.
Generally speaking, it takes a long time to adapt to a new big version, and you can look forward to seeing which teams will be weakened and which teams will be strengthened as a result.
