On May 10, 2022, the MSI Mid-Season Invitational will officially start, and in each year's world-type event, there will be new and different gameplay innovations, and it is a unique lineup system for each team, and other teams can only choose to be forced to waste the ban after being hit
In the last version just before the start of the MSI, the official designers announced the final changes to the version of the competition, in which Pike was directly cut off the single line ability
Parker has been modified in the test suit again, passively adding a new execution effect, and the big move slash line growth effect is weakened.
[Passive] the luck of drowning
New: When there is a friendly hero nearby, Pike's general attack will execute creeps or guards, killing gold coins will award friendly heroes, and Pike will not get gold coins, with a cooldown of 50 seconds
When a creep is below 50% of its health, executing a creep will only consume the number of salary layers, not passivity
When a creep cannot be executed by the payload, the passive layer is consumed first, and the teammate receives two shares of money, and Pike does not receive any money
[R] The hatred of the fountain
The Kill Hero/Gun Truck/Super Soldier boost kill line is reduced from 9 to 7
Execution Melee Boost Kill Line reduced from 3 to 2
Execution Ranged Soldier Boost Kill Line reduced from 2 to 1
Execution effects include: Collector, Ancient Dragon buff, Relic Shield, Steel Shoulder Pad, Passive Skill, Creep De-Hostage
The reason why this change was suddenly launched was because of the change in the previous version of the Dance of Death equipment, and this change directly allowed the single-person Road Pike to take off directly, and the machine that incarnated into blood could match the W skill to return the blood to full as long as it killed a residual blood Pike
After this change was launched, Parker directly rose to the impact of the medium single T1 level
And the designer seems to feel that it is not the problem of this equipment that chose to directly change the hero. And this change may be the most influential during the MSI period is the G2 team, in the S9 season the G2 team's Parker system is beyond the reach of all the teams, in that year they have won the S9 season invitational tournament championship, unfortunately lost to the FPX in the global finals
G2 was later also known as the "Pike Team", and it was after that game that the official also directly cut Parker's line clearance ability and blood return ability
And in this year's LEC spring final, G2 also took out Parker in the fifth set and finally defeated the RGE team 3:0 to win the championship, which must also want to be used on MSI, but who knows the designer directly changed Parker into a tool man!
