Chapter 341 The Oddity Manipulated Akali!

Wang Yao's gaze traveled downwards.

Zhu Kai also mentioned the most crucial point.

"Another champion has been reworked, and that's Akali!"

Akali's previous mechanics were outdated, so Riot Games made sweeping changes, even altering her lore.

The new version of Akali can be described as a 'mechanic monster'!
Even the two mechanically challenged heroes, Aatrox and Irelia, are no match for Akali.

Many fans online even joked that the designer must have been drunk to remake Akali into such a terrifying being.

When Akali's energy is above a certain level, her Q skill has a built-in healing effect, and her W skill allows her to become invisible, making her undetectable by control wards and turrets.

The R skill does not require target selection and can be released in any direction. Furthermore, if the first hit of the R skill hits an enemy, it can cause a brief stun.

This ensures that Akali's subsequent E skill will hit!
With its powerful stats, outrageous mechanics, and assassin role, it's no surprise that it boasts the highest win rate!
A hero who combines online healing, multiple dashes, crowd control, extremely high burst damage, and unparalleled self-preservation abilities.

It's important to understand that a champion who can simultaneously possess lane sustain, mobility, and crowd control is already considered an excellent champion by professional players. Akali is ridiculously strong!
Especially W, who was completely invisible while standing in the delay, and could not be seen by any means.

When team fights break out, Akali doesn't even need to do anything.

Place a W between the front and back rows, and ask the fragile back row if they dare to approach this group of delays, exposing themselves to Akali's extremely high burst damage.

“Akali, this champion…” Zhu Kai looked at Wang Yao, his words unspoken but his meaning clear.

"Don't worry," Wang Yao assured, patting his chest. "I'd love for the enemy team to let me have this hero; I'll carry the whole team!"

"That's good."

Uzi chimed in, "We either pick these kinds of heroes ourselves or ban them. I've encountered them twice in ranked games. ADCs can't play against these kinds of monsters at all; there's zero room for skillful maneuvering."

It has to be said that these high-burst assassin heroes are a nightmare for squishy marksmen!

This is also why Uzi no longer competes with Wang Yao for command; the current version clearly indicates that marksman heroes will not have much room to perform.

Why force teammates to play a four-protect-one strategy for you, even if you only get three or four items?

The equipment a marksman builds won't increase their survivability at all; against the monster heroes in the top, mid, and jungle, they'll only get instantly killed.

"These are pretty much all the version updates."

Wang Yao, however, was still carefully reading the updated content. Hearing this, he looked surprised and said, "Huh? I saw that the teleportation here has also been changed?"

"It shouldn't have much of an impact, right?" White Crescent hesitated for a moment. "This isn't the first time Riot Games has changed teleportation, and it still doesn't affect the skill's status."

Everyone knows that having Ignite makes laning more comfortable, but... that's all it's about.

Once you're out of the laning phase, not having teleport is truly torture!
The other top laner is split pushing on the side lanes, but I don't dare to go there because I don't have teleport.

If you go to the bottom lane and the enemy teleports directly to the front to fight, your teammates will face a 4v5 situation. For this reason alone, the role of teleport is irreplaceable!
Therefore, no matter how much Riot Games nerfed it, Teleport was still the second-best skill choice in competitive play, after Flash.

But this time, Wang Yao frowned.

"A full 60 seconds of cooldown was added, and manually canceling it added 40 seconds. That's a pretty big nerf."

Wang Yao was too lazy to say anything more. He took the initiative to ask, "When will the training room be available? Shall we go to the training room and play a few rounds? Practice is the only criterion for testing truth."

"The numbers have been cut too much. I may still have to carry the top lane, but I need to think more about the mid lane."

Sometimes it's not that Wang Yao is belittling domestic coaches; the backwardness of domestic coaches isn't due to individual ability, but rather the backwardness of the entire esports system and its professionalization.

South Korea began professionalizing esports at the beginning of the century, and has already developed standardized methods for building a professional coaching team and for that team to extract useful information about version changes.

Wang Yao remains convinced that the biggest reason why LPL has failed to defeat LCK in the past few years is not the apparent difference in individual player ability.

Rather, it's the invisible gap between the training and competition teams.

The most typical example is the S5 World Championship.

All people saw was AmazingJ's Darius getting solo killed by Ma Datou's Renekton.

However, what was not apparent was that in that lane-swap situation, SKT's understanding of minion waves allowed Ma Datou to gain several more waves of experience and gold before he even officially faced off against the ancient-style handsome man.

They completely outclassed you in terms of equipment and level, then solo-killed you, and then said it was because of your superior individual skill. Isn't that just bullying?

Surprisingly, after all these years, domestic coaches are still only at the level of ordering takeout.

Abu's answer, however, chilled him to the bone.

"You know, not every country has our efficiency. The training grounds are still under construction and won't be ready to use until tomorrow at the earliest."

Abu looked somewhat helpless.

"That's all." Wang Yao shrugged. "Eat when you're hungry, sleep when you're tired, we'll talk about everything tomorrow."

After returning to their rooms, Wang Yao, exhausted from the long flight, simply lay down on the bed and listlessly played on his phone.

I happened to see that the discussion on the Anti-Japanese Bar was extremely popular, so I immediately clicked in to take a look.

While the Asian Games were in full swing, the LPL league was also underway.

However, the national team consists of core members from top-tier LPL teams, whose matches have already been completed in the schedule.

The remaining teams are all weak teams, so even if viewers can't watch the official live broadcast, they will focus most of their attention on the Asian Games.

Regarding this grouping situation.

He was clearly very dissatisfied.

"Huh? China, South Korea, and Vietnam are in the same group? The host country is really something else, isn't it?"

"It's hilarious. An Asian Games can be turned into a group of death. Why doesn't Indonesia just go all out and ban Taiwan too? The ultimate way to raise poison?"

"No... there really aren't any brothers who think we'll lose to Vietnam, right? Are there really people who would sell Vietnamese fermented bean curd?"

"Taiwanese people are probably laughing their heads off. Isn't this like getting into the elimination rounds without even lifting a finger?"

The audience was mostly indignant, which is understandable. Indonesia's manipulation of the draw was indeed outrageous, and anyone could see it.

It's all about taking advantage of others.

It's the kind of thing where you want to benefit as much as possible yourself, but you have to take strong action and condemn others for doing the same!
There are actually people on Tieba who specifically repost comments from Korean websites and Taiwanese forums.

"Great draw! We should crush the CN team in the group stage, humiliate them, shatter their Dao hearts, and ideally lose to Vietnam!"

"Although the CN team is just so-so, I don't think they should be eliminated in the group stage, right? We're not asking for much. Let's have the Korean team beat them twice in the group stage and then beat them five times in the knockout stage! Hehehe! We're going to humiliate them thoroughly!"
