Zhao Xin + Gwen is invincible in the end?
The topic has been repeatedly mentioned in the past week, because after Uzi's comeback, IG's double-lap system has seriously reduced the influence of AD heroes on the game. Although Uzi himself did not make a comment, netizens quarreled over it. Starting from the game's gameplay mechanics, many of the hero mechanics in League of Legends games can actually resonate with players.
A few days ago, a post under the League of Legends section of the foreign Reddit forum was extremely hot, and many players gathered together to complain that the skill mechanism of "invincible and unselectable" was a bit too strong, and even the professional players could not counter it. For this reason, the landlord also gave an example of the most undesirable enemy lineup in a passer-by game:
Gwen (turn on W cannot be selected by heroes outside the circle), Zhao Xin (turn on the big move to ignore any ranged attacks), Jax (turn on the E skill to ignore any ranged attacks), Akari (turn on W can not be seen).
Just seeing this lineup can make mages and ADC players feel numb, and it doesn't matter who the auxiliary heroes are. Each of these heroes poses a great threat to the ADC, and the ADC can do nothing to them. Not to mention the non-displacement heroes such as Han Bing and Big Mouth, look like 300 moving pieces.
Players believe that it is the presence of heroes with powerful mechanisms that has led to the lack of influence of the ADC. After understanding the spring regular season games in various competition areas, foreign netizens concluded:
"Gwen and Zhao Xin are the current version of the answer, when one team gets both heroes, the enemy ADC can hardly do anything for five seconds in the team battle."
For this, Uzi fans and ADC players must have a deep understanding.
Just when netizens at home and abroad are expressing their dissatisfaction, the designers in the fist headquarters have also learned about this information through the game situation and the feedback of players. In the 12.5 update announcement, Gwen and Zhao Xin, the creators of the double circle system, became the target of the knife.
Gwen
[Passive] Maximum damage to wild monsters: 10+25% spell strength10+15% spell strength
[E] Attack range bonus: 10050
Zhao Xin
【E】Cooldown: 11 seconds and 12 seconds
R: Duration: 5 seconds and 4 seconds
For the special skill mechanism that isolates attacks outside the circle, the fist designer has not changed it. This is not only because the direction and extent of the weakening are not easy to control, but more importantly, it is afraid of causing technical problems in other aspects. Hence the choice to cut the hero's strength to reduce their influence and heat.
The method of modifying the skill CD made by the fist designers against Zhao Xin is the easiest and most convenient way to weaken. Reducing the attack range bonus of Gwen E skill is very clever. Gwen is known for her ability to pull professionally, reducing the attack range bonus and putting her in a more dangerous position.
If you want to hit someone, you must make the other party closer to you, which in disguise weakens the protection ability of the W skill. This weakening has caused a lot of impact on Gwen and Zhao Xindu, and it is not difficult to foresee that after the 12.5 version of the match suit update, their BP rate will decline.
