Speaking of the most "disgusting" heroes in the League of Legends, the Demon Clown is definitely one of the best, this hero not only looks cunning, the gameplay is also very "dark", backstabbing, stealth, putting traps, fear, doppelgangers, all are some nasty offensive means, Gray Brother usually in the ranking when not less tortured by the clown, when the line suddenly appears behind you Box fear to play a set, a stealth, a doppelganger to avoid all your counter-fighting skills, When you are angry and want to chase, you will be scared to death by the box all the way, it is simply invincible! A clown who can play can make his opponent sick to the point of vomiting whether he is fighting, on the road or assisting, the only fortunate thing is that this hero needs proficiency, and only a small number of unique brothers can control it.
But recently, gray brother found that the probability of encountering the clown in the ranking has become significantly lower, with a curious attitude I went to check the data, found that this is not an illusion, according to the national service platinum segment above the passers-by bureau data, the clown in 11.14 and 11.15 versions of the winning rate and appearance rate have a significant decline, the trend of Hanbok is more exaggerated, the 11.13 version of the clown's winning rate is still ranked 2nd in the wild area, 11.15 directly plummeted to the 40th place, what happened to this?
The 11.14 version of the data decline is easy to understand, because the designers weakened the Joker in this version, reducing its health points by 27 health and 5 movement speed, and the downward adjustment of the base value will inevitably affect the strength of all gameplay. In version 11.15, the designers did not reduce the Joker's value at all, only fixed a bug, but this bug made the Joker more uncomfortable than the value weakening, and the specific change was this: when Sacco casts the Q skill in the fog of war, the orange smoke visual effect of this skill will now appear correctly in the enemy's field of vision.
As we all know, Q skill is the core of the clown gank, card good vision can unknowingly approach the opponent, at first the designer increased the purpose of orange smoke is to avoid the clown's stealth is too "dark", but for a long time they did not seem to find that this smoke can only be seen in the case of vision, after this BUG repair, F6 card vision, river card vision These operations will be more easily detected, and now either can only be invisible from the grass, or can only be invisible from the opponent's screen vision, Gank difficulty has increased a lot, which is undoubtedly a fatal injury for a hero like the Joker who desperately needs the early rhythm.
In addition to the Summoner Canyon, the Big Brawl players also lie guns, the map of the Howling Abyss is originally relatively small, plus there are five people on the other side, and the clown will basically be seen as long as he is invisible, making it worse than it is not strong.
Usually when such an unpopular hero is weakened, players will have some pity, such as "No one has played and cut, why not cut those hot and powerful heroes?" But the Joker seemed to be an exception, and after learning that it had been weakened, the players collectively clapped their hands and applauded, saying: "Deserved!" "It's enough to see how miserable everyone is usually tortured by the clown."
But not long after the players were happy, the bad news came again, the designer announced that it would call back this bug in the 11.16 version, and many players asked: "Why do you have to call back just now?" The designer's explanation for this is: "Fixing this bug caused the clown's strength to drop sharply, so as compensation we need to strengthen him a little." They then added: "Many players reported to us that the change was terrible, so we had an internal conversation and it turned out that they were right, and such a countermeasure really didn't make sense, and if the way to defeat Sarko was to pan the screen into the fog of war and look for orange smoke, it would be too bad!" We have a lot of other ways to balance him. It seems that this time the designer compromised under the "coercion" of the Joker player, but the other players were happy in vain.
It is worth mentioning that the designer revealed that there will be other ways to balance the clown, so what will this method be? Players are also a move, some players expressed their hope that the clown can not put the box when stealth, or the clown's stealth changed to the same as the mouse, as long as the opponent is close to the shadow, and the player feels that the clown's double bonus should be changed to a single bonus, etc., which one is more preferred?
Finally, Gray Brother to want to play the clown in the current version of the players to teach a little knowledge, since the smoke of the Q skill will be seen, then as long as you choose a skin with hidden smoke can reduce the probability of being found, it is recommended that you can try the peak of martial arts, the smoke color of this skin is black, in the dark fog of war is more difficult to detect.
So do you think the Joker's Q skill smoke should be visible in the fog of war? What do you think is the clown's most skin-sucking mechanism?
