summer version, judging from the number of different heroes selected from the four major regions, everyone has not figured out the version yet, especially the bottom lane.
Taking LPL as an example, 18 different auxiliary heroes have been selected so far, and only 24 auxiliary heroes have been released in the entire spring competition. The summer season has just started, and the number of auxiliary heroes played has already approached the total number of appearances in the entire spring season!
There are also players in each competition region who have selected wonderful supports. For example, Gen.G selected Alchemy, and the North American Golden State Warriors selected Doctor Mundo . These are the best proof of the ecological chaos of the bot lane version.
In an interview with T1 support player Keria, he mentioned: "Now as long as the bottom lane is good for matchups, any character can be played. It is not as easy to be killed by the tower as before." His interview also confirmed the current support ecosystem of diversification.
However, this does not represent a change in the gameplay of the bottom lane. In fact, ADC still needs to develop, and the support is still a small follower in the mid-jungle linkage. Two weeks after the start of
, most teams realized that the "big core" in the later stage is the poison of the version. In essence, they still have to rely on the early midfielder to lead the rhythm to solve the problem. The cost of selecting a late-game core in the middle is to sacrifice the side lanes. The upper and lower lanes have to wait for the three-piece package in the middle to step forward and save the world. However, under the pressure of Plating, Elemental Dragon, and Pioneer, this is very difficult to do.
Rather than betting on a late-game hope, let's solve the problem with a familiar old trick: mid-jungle.
Therefore, we see a large number of rhythm heroes such as fox, monkey, blind monk , etc., or dilapidated heroes, trolls, etc. who are difficult for the enemy to come back when they have an advantage.
predicted the casting of JDG, the current top-ranked team in the well-known e-sports data network "Leijing Sports". Except for the Tsar, the other three in the middle are all rhythmic heroes. By the way, I would like to mention that JDG is one of the few teams that is willing to let the jungler play jungle core, so their demand for the rhythm mid laner will be particularly high, which can be observed in the next games.
