As we all know, in the game League of Legends, there are many factors that affect the strength of heroes, and the adjustment of skill values is the simplest and most direct way, so every version update, there will be popular heroes weakened, unpopular heroes are strengthened, but the adjustment of values often only affects a single hero, in addition to the value, equipment attributes, wild resources, defense tower mechanisms These aspects of changes, have a group effect, affected strength range of heroes are in batches as the number.
S11 should be a season that is extremely impressive for all LOL players, because of the launch of mythical equipment, the strength of a large number of LOL heroes has risen and fallen, the most representative of which is the loneliness of tank heroes, the rise of warrior heroes, the combination of thirsty blood + bloody hands, once dominated the Summoner Canyon, even assassin heroes, will go such a genre, and in the history of League of Legends, there is also a group of extremely influential and difficult to balance equipment.
Reworked 6 times in 10 years online, the sheep knife has become the most difficult equipment to balance
Ghost Suo's Berserk Blade (commonly known as the sheep knife), should be a very impressive piece of equipment for many players, early weapon masters, sword saints, VN and other heroes, have relied on this equipment, in the three positions of single, wild, AD, play the performance of the dominant level, and the online time of the sheep knife dates back to the S1 season, strictly speaking, this is actually a companion-level equipment, to the current S13 season, the sheep knife exists in the Summoner Canyon, and it has been 13 years.
The current version of the sheep knife, in addition to VN, almost no heroes will regard it as the core, the appearance rate has dropped to 1.5%, the reason why the sheep knife situation is so embarrassing is because of the last rework, the equipment was scrapped, the sheep knife has undergone a total of 6 rework since it was launched, respectively in the S1-S10 season, 6 redone in 10 years, which is definitely the most difficult piece of equipment to balance in LOL, let's review what changes the sheep knife has undergone since its launch.
The Pinnacle Sheep Knife once dominated the Summoner Canyon
The attributes of the original sheep knife are very single, only magic strength and attack power, passive general attack and skill hit the target, providing 4% attack speed and 6 magic strength (can be stacked 8 times), the first rework is in the 1.152 version of the S1 season, on the basis of the above, the designer added double blood sucking, while the health is less than 50%, you can get 20% attack speed, S5 season 5.22 version, the sheep knife ushered in the second rework, the passive law strength effect was replaced with additional damage, and the layer attack speed gain was increased.
Full layer of passive general attack caused AOE range damage, so far the sheep knife has become the core equipment of heroes such as Sword Saint and Jax, S6 season version 6.9, the third rework of the sheep knife, the equipment has added basic attack speed, the number of passive layers has been reduced, the second attack can trigger special effects, the sheep knife has also ushered in the peak, the fourth rework, removed by special basic effect damage, general attack to get additional damage to enjoy AP/AD bonus, the 5th basic special effect callback, attack special effects adjusted to 3 general attack trigger special effects.
After many balances to no avail, the designer finally chose to swing rotten
The 10.23 version of the S10 season is the last rework of the sheep knife, the previous rework is repeated horizontal jump, this time the designer directly changed it, completely turned it into a special effect flow equipment, although the mechanism of three attacks to trigger the special effect is retained, but the passive special effect damage, and the critical attack formed a linkage, out of this equipment, the general attack or skill can no longer play critical hit, plus the synthesis method is not suitable for fighters, which also makes many heroes have to give up this equipment.
6 times of rework, it shows that the balance difficulty of this equipment is high, after the S10 season changes, the dominance of the sheep knife has ceased to exist, the designer's purpose has been successfully achieved, and no longer pay attention to this equipment, S11 season to the current S13 season, the sheep knife has only undergone three adjustments, the entire S12 season, not a single change, it can be seen that for this equipment, the designer is really too lazy to care, after all, casually strengthening, will affect the strength of a large number of heroes.
Epilogue:
The most nostalgic version of the sheep knife is the three seasons of S5-S8, although the sheep knife at that time was revised three times, but for the heroes of the sword saint, weapons, Wayne, it is still a huge benefit, especially at the beginning of the S5 rework, the range damage makes these heroes have a strong ability to clear the line and brush the wild, plus the bonus of the science and technology gun, the double repair weapon can even be made 1 dozen 5 bigger, but these are in the past, the sheep knife at this stage, no one cares.
So audiences, which version of the sheep knife is your favorite?
