Chapter 128 New version, new routine

Of course, all of this has a premise.

That is the opponent's top lane, don't choose a warrior top laner.

Because the warrior top laner relies on operation and snowballing in the laning phase, and mainly creates a top and jungle rhythm.

For example, the combination of crocodile + spider.

If the opponent chooses this combination, even if the Marquis, a man as steady as a defense tower, goes up, he will still die.

There is no other way. If we let the Marquis go, he will definitely play a mage, such as Ryze or Ice Girl.

A mage's physique can't be compared to a tank, right?

Therefore, this method will definitely not work when playing against RNG.

But if it's against EDG...

Will the factory manager choose Spider as the jungler, and then keep helping Belu, and go on the road for military training?

Think more.

EDG recruits Treant, do you understand the value of playing in the top lane?

However, Lin Dong didn't say much at this time.

After all... he trusted Li Yue very much.

Not to mention that this way of playing does have a certain rationality.

If she can buy Saint Spear Brother with her money, is there anything she can't do?
as predicted.

The moment Li Yue said this, Gao Jun immediately jumped out to object.

"Boss...this is inappropriate!"

"The top and mid positions require completely different things to be done!"

“The top lane area is very long, which is a great test of awareness and personal ability.”

"The middle route is short and the clearing speed is fast, which tests the overall situation!"

However, as soon as Gao Jun finished speaking, Hongmi on the side asked back.

"So...what abilities do you think are tested in the top lane?"

"What does the top lane test require? Isn't it the ability to operate the line, the ability to prevent ganks, the ability to provide support, and the ability to withstand pressure, um..."

As he was talking, Gao Jun fell silent.

Oh shit!

Why does it feel like... the more I talk about it, the more reasonable it becomes?

It seems that these are the things that the Marquis is good at!

It seems that the only thing the Marquis lacks is the ability to fight in a line!

Seeing Gao Jun also reacted, Hongmi shook his head and said.

"It's not impossible, but under normal circumstances, I still don't consider this style of play. After all, Saint Spearman's performance in the previous few games was also very good."

"But..."

Hongmi changed the subject.

"You can try it on weekdays, just in case!"

"In this way, we just happen to advance directly to the second round, so we still have nearly two weeks to prepare for the next BO5."

"During the team's 5v5 training, Lord Hou, try to go to the front line. It's a good opportunity for Brother Saint Spear to teach you."

Hongmi's arrangement was quickly recognized by everyone.

However, although it was a training match, Lin Dong remained the same.

Hit and run.

Start slacking off!
This time, Redmi didn’t care.

It was even Hongmi who took the initiative to let Lin Dong slack off.

the reason is simple.

Because... the version has been updated.

In fact, the version has been updated as early as February.

But the versions for the official server and the competition are different.

After all, if the version suddenly changes halfway through the regular season, it would be very unfair to both teams.

After all, the competition system is a double round-robin within the group and a single round-robin outside the group. There is no way to guarantee that every team can compete fairly.

Therefore, in the spring regular season, there are not any major changes in the game version.

But the following playoffs... were different.

The competition version will use the brand new 6.6 version.

To be honest, Lin Dong always thought that the LPL setting was fucked up.

Especially every time I watch a game, the tactics that have been played out in the rankings never appear in the game at all, and it’s still the same tactics from a few months ago.

Until later, the Dota2 game next door taught him a lesson...

Halfway through the game, the version was updated, and the commentators and players were all confused, especially the players, who started watching the skills on the spot...

To be honest, this is the real abstraction.

However, although six versions were skipped in one go, Lin Dong still had some impression of the updated content.

Apart from the minor enhancements and weakenings of some heroes, there are indeed some changes that have a relatively large impact on the version.

For example, a new hero appears in the AD position.

The life-haunting master - Jhin.

Like the reworked Graves, Jhin's bullet mechanism is very special. He only has four bullets, and the last one is a critical hit.

But unlike the male gun...

Jhin has a longer range, the fourth bullet can stably critically hit, and the attack speed will be converted into movement speed, while the attack speed and critical hit rate will be converted into attack power bonus.

It can be said that the appearance of Jhin almost completely changed the laning ecology of the bottom lane.

simply put……

A high movement speed bonus means you can run faster and are less likely to die.

Can you believe that this thing is actually lame in its setting?
Although there are only four bullets, the passive [Whisper] converts the critical hit rate into attack power, making the attack power of Jhin in the later stage extremely terrifying.

And the most incredible thing... is that the fourth bullet will definitely be a critical hit.

Because this setting perfectly matches an equipment in the game.

That's right!

It is the new equipment updated in Season 6 - Rapid Fire Cannon!
Because Rapid Fire Cannon has a unique passive effect.

When the hero moves and attacks, it will be charged. When the charging is completed and reaches the 100th floor, the next basic attack will gain an additional 35% range and cause additional magic damage. This bonus is also effective for buildings.

In fact, this piece of equipment has always been rather useless in the new version.

Although it can provide a range bonus, it can only provide a bonus for one basic attack.

A It's gone in a moment.

For most heroes who need critical hits, it is not very useful.

The only one that is quite suitable... is probably Jinx whose Q skill has a range bonus.

After all, a super long-range basic attack at a critical moment, combined with Jinx's passive acceleration effect, can really have a miraculous effect.

The problem is... Jinx's own damage in this version is too low, and she has no displacement skills and is too dependent on her teammates.

But Jhin is different.

There are only four bullets, and the last one can be a critical hit, which means that Jhin only needs to hold on to the fourth bullet, and then use the effect of the cannon to directly detonate his highest-burst basic attack onto the enemy from a long distance!

Although the artillery can only provide a range boost for basic attacks.

But as long as the damage of this basic attack is high enough, there will be no problem at all!
The key is... Jhin's other attributes are also excellent.

The ultimate skill [Perfect Curtain Call] can be used to actively initiate a team fight, and the W skill [Fatal Brilliance] can easily cooperate with teammates to exert control.

There is no doubt that this new hero will definitely be the strongest AD in the bottom lane in the next few versions, no doubt about it!

Although this new hero is strong, if Lin Dong remembers correctly, there are not many AD players in LPL who can play this hero.

no way.

The setting of only four attacks and the need to change bullets after each attack makes many players have trouble getting the feel of the game. However...

Among these AD players who can’t play Jhin, there is not one person.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong subconsciously looked towards the man not far away, who had a stern face and an imperial indifference.

If you ask who is the best AD player who plays Jhin in LPL, there is no doubt that most players have only one answer in their minds.

That's the old thief Sima.

After all, not everyone can have the title of "Sima Laojin".

However, at this time, the old thief Sima had a frown on his face, as if he was worried about something.

Lin Dong took a look over and immediately understood.

In this version, the hero Jhin is very strong, there is no doubt about that.

But the problem is...

The hero is strong and has matching equipment, but when playing, it always feels a little off.

the reason is simple.

First, there is no suitable talent.

Second, I can’t find suitable assistance.

In this version, the normal AD talents are either Bloodlust of Warlord or Fervor of War.

The former heals oneself, while the latter focuses on continuous fighting, becoming more courageous as the battle goes on.

Of course, Miss Fortune is an exception. Because her E skill deals multiple damages, she usually carries the Decree of the Thunder Lord.

But the problem is...

None of these three talents are suitable for Jhin.

Lifesteal is useless against ADCs like Jhin who can quickly distance themselves. The characteristic of four bullets means that Jhin cannot fight a protracted battle with the opponent. Although the Thunder Lord's Decree has a higher burst, it is very difficult to trigger it because of Jhin's attack frequency. The AQW combo can be triggered, but W must hit in the early stage...

The reason for not being able to find suitable assistance is actually the same.

Because of Jhin's W skill, in most cases, he will be paired with a hard support who takes the initiative to start a team fight.

The support rushes up to control the opponent, Jhin uses the W skill to imprison, and then focuses on the same person.

But here is the problem.

Jhin's burst damage depends on the fourth bullet. Once it is used up, the bullet must be replaced, otherwise the situation of "I can't attack" will occur. During this period, it is difficult for Jhin to provide continuous output.

This means that the hard support that rushes forward can only face the output of two enemies alone during this period of time.

Given the support's early physique, in this situation, he can't hold on until Jhin finishes his second attack and then delivers a critical hit or basic attack.

After rounding off...Jhin's ability to fight against hard supports is actually quite poor!
Far inferior to Lucian and Skateboards!

For example, the previous few training games.

Sima Laozei and Xiaoduan took out Jhin and Minotaur, but they were directly knocked down by A Shui's Draven.

So now, it’s not only Sima the old thief who is troubled by this matter.

Even the coaches of Redmi and VG are having a headache.

However, looking at everyone's performance, Lin Dong remained calm.

After standing behind Sima Laozei and watching for a while, he found that it was still the same old problem, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he spoke.

"Brother Ma, try this routine."

"Ok?"

"Don't bring Doran's Blade as your starting equipment. Bring Doran's Ring instead, and the talent is Touch of Hellfire." Lin Dong said.

"???"

When these words came out, everyone in the lounge was stunned.

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's face showed a look of shock!

Instead of Doran's Blade, why not bring Doran's Ring when you go out?
Talented with Touch of Hellfire?
Isn't this how mages play?
The problem is... Jhin is an ADC!
This time, even Hongmi was stunned for a moment, frowned, and said.

"Doran's Ring? But I remember that Jhin's damage is mainly AD-based, right? Although the Q and E skills do have AP bonuses, isn't it a bit putting the cart before the horse to bring out Doran's Ring?"

To be honest, after hearing Hongmi's answer, Lin Dong was also helpless.

It seems... there are some things that even a head coach like Hongmi cannot figure out in a short time!
But no wonder.

This strategy became completely popular in the arena during S7, more than a year after the hero Jhin made his debut.

Before this, basically all Jhin started out with Doran's Blade.

The weird thing is... during this period, Jhin didn't undergo any major changes.

As to why this happens, the reason is simple.

Because of this routine, there is another crucial and decisive factor.

That’s right, that’s assistance!

"It's not putting the cart before the horse." Lin Dong shook his head and explained, "It's mainly because the other talents are too bad. Touch of Hellfire is the only talent that suits Jhin, and Jhin's Q skill can bounce four times. There are exactly three mage soldiers in the back row of a wave of soldiers. Using this feature, we can quickly push the line, and use the fourth bounce to trigger Touch of Hellfire and consume the opponent."

"It just so happens that both the talent Touch of Hellfire and Jhin's Q skill have both AD and AP bonuses."

"Even if you add AD equipment later, it will still be effective."

"Of course, it's also OK to bring Doran's Blade when starting out, and then take Touch of Hellfire as your talent. The damage of the two is similar."

"But the problem is... Jhin doesn't need the lifesteal from Doran's Blade. If he does, his talent will probably have to be the Warlord's Bloodlust."

"On the contrary, if you want to use the Q skill frequently to bounce the opponent, your mana will definitely not be able to withstand such consumption."

Hearing this, Hongmi on the side finally understood and took over the conversation.

"It just so happens that Doran's Ring has a property that killing a minion unit will restore a certain amount of mana...right?"

"Correct."

"The problem is... with this style of play, burst is not enough." Hongmi pondered.

"Jhin's burst in the early game wasn't enough, but he's equipped in the later game, and he doesn't lack the attributes of Doran's Ring." Lin Dong said, "Let's just use the power of his opponent to consume his opponent's equipment."

"You mean... Jhin goes to the bottom lane, with a consumption-type soft support?" Hongmi raised his eyebrows, "For example?"

"Jhin is an AD damage player in the late game, and the opponent will definitely have armor, so the support needs to be an AP damage player, and it needs to be a mage support that can cross the line of soldiers and directly consume the opponent's back row." Lin Dong replied calmly, "For example, Xerath, their ultimates happen to be very compatible."

After hearing this, Hongmi finally understood everything.

This strategy...isn't it just letting Jhin play as a mage in the early game?
Wait until you have the equipment later, then switch back to AD!

However, although he understood it, he did not agree immediately, but said.

"Let the old thief Sima try it and see if he can get used to it."

"If you are used to it, try it next time. If you are not used to it, then just follow his own preferences."

It is obvious that Hongmi is somewhat unsure.

after all……

The special bullet mechanism of the hero Jhin alone makes many AD players who are used to playing A-style miserable.

Not to mention, now instead of making Doran's Blade, you can make Doran's Ring when you go out!

However, what Redmi never expected was.

An hour later, another training match ended.

The corners of Sima Laozei's mouth have begun to curl up slightly.

On the other side, A Shui was sweating profusely.

When a Draven who needs to catch an axe meets the long-handed bottom lane combination of Jhin and Xerath, the result is self-evident...

Especially when you get close to the line of soldiers, you will see Jhin's Q skill flying over.

He couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation on his scalp.

How can this be consumed?

Looking at this scene, Hongmi was stunned and then immediately started shouting!
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop right there!"

"From now on, until the next game, none of you are allowed to play Jhin with Doran's Ring in Rank!"

"Did you hear that?"

"It's a shame not to keep such a good routine for the semi-finals and finals!"
