This year, League of Legends officially released the specific changes in version 14.10. This version change, in addition to the introduction of the mythical equipment mechanism back then, can be called the largest change in history! The magnitude of the rune talent and equipment changes is really rare! Especially in the rune talent, the deadly rhythm and predator have been directly deleted, you must know that there has been no major adjustment in the rune talent for many years, it seems that after the 14.10 version, the major competition areas are bound to usher in a wave of complete reshuffle!
First of all, there are changes to the rune talent! Lethal Rhythm, Predator, and Overheal have been removed; Wellspring of Life and Onslaught have been reworked; Introduced a new talent, "Life Drain", which restores a certain amount of health after killing the target (similar to the passive of the Big Bug).
The predator is okay, after all, it is a relatively unpopular talent, but the impact of the deletion of the lethal rhythm is simply too great, which directly causes many AD heroes to fall off the altar, such as Varus, rats, Jinx, etc., and at the same time, due to the deletion of the lethal rhythm, many AD who rely on attack speed have to free up an equipment grid to attack the speed outfit, which will undoubtedly make the development of the AD position slower, and the impact on the game situation will be further reduced, which is undoubtedly very unfriendly to AD players! At the same time, it will also have an impact on Yonn and Yasuo to a greater or lesser extent, after all, the current mainstream gameplay of Yonne and Yasuo is basically with a lethal rhythm, in short, the deletion of the deadly rhythm has too much impact on the game.
The Attack talent has been changed to "Attacking heroes three times in a row will deal extra damage and increase the damage you deal until the end of the battle", while the Wellspring of Life talent has been changed to "Interfering with the movement of enemy heroes will restore health to you and nearby allies with the lowest health"; As for the new talent life absorption, it seems to be exactly the same as the triumphant talent? I really don't understand the designer's brain circuit...
In terms of equipment changes, mainly the Lancet and Kisheras fragments have been removed; The crafting route of the Energizer series of equipment has been revised; Phantom Dance will directly increase attack speed by 60%, instead of stacking passives like before; In addition, the Rundown, Boundary Bow, and Kraken Slayer will all be changed, but the specific direction of the changes has not been revealed; Added two new pieces of equipment: Scout Bullet and Ghost Piercing Arrow; The critical strike rate of critical equipment (large items) has been increased from 20% to 25%, which can be regarded as strengthening critical equipment; In addition, there is another very important change, that is, in the future, AD equipment will only have three attributes, which are attack speed, critical hit, and attack power!
The changes to the equipment, in general, are okay. Increasing the critical strike rate of the Critical Hit Blockbuster, Phantom Dance can directly provide attack speed blessings, instead of stacking passives like before, greatly simplifying the difficulty of the game! As for Ranche being deleted, it doesn't matter, after all, how many times this piece of equipment has been adjusted and redone, its effect has already become extremely chicken; Two new pieces of equipment, of which the "Scout Bomb" is to throw a magic stone at the opponent, and the "Ghost Piercing Arrow" is a critical hit that will cause a bleeding effect (Noshou players said they are very confused), as for the actual combat effect, I don't know, but it doesn't feel too chicken, right?
All in all, the magnitude of the changes is jaw-dropping, I don't know what the designers are thinking about, but it seems a little too capricious, right?Everything else is understandable, but the removal of the lethal rhythm talent is really unacceptable (and there is no new talent to replace it), which will directly make many heroes fall off the altar completely! Heroes like Jinx, Mouse, and Varus will never be seen in the arena again, right?
