Hello brothers, I am Brother Gray. They say that when people are unlucky, they have to hold water between their teeth. So what happens when a hero is unlucky? "Stay Up Late Poppy" Vigus is one of the heroes who peaked immediately after his appearance. The operation is not too difficult, the support ability is excellent, and the mechanism can restrain many popular assassins in the middle lane at that time. He was quickly promoted to T1 after going online. Mid laner, and lasted for many versions. Not only in the pub game, but also in the game. Vigus made a total of 50 appearances in the 2022 LPL Spring Split, second only to Ryze, Airplane, Victor, Clockwork , Ahri and Enchantress. This is a pretty good performance for a new hero.
But recently, Vigus' status has suddenly taken a turn for the worse. LPL has only appeared twice in the Summer Split and lost all of them. Her winning rate in pub games has dropped to 48.4%, and her appearance rate has dropped by about 7% compared to her peak period. All of a sudden, From the overlord in the middle to a "sewer player", his strength ranking is lower than that of Czar and Syndra! HH?
Brother Gray’s first reaction was that Vegus was weakened, but after taking a look at her change history, she has actually changed her values twice since the 11.19 version was launched. The first time was because the strength was too OP when it was launched, and it was a hot patch. The damage of her passive and Q skills has been weakened. After this wave of changes, she can still remain at T1, which shows that the strength is not harmful. The second time is the 12.10 version where the shield value of the W skill was cut. Considering that Weigusi is a secondary W, it is almost impossible in the early stage. It has no impact. It only becomes slightly brittle in the middle and late stages. Logically speaking, this level of weakening should not be enough to destroy a T1 hero. It is obvious that there is another reason for Vigus's fall.
The reason for the fall of Vigusi
Vigusi's position is to restrain all the heavy artillery mages who rush forward, but now the status of assassins is no longer the same, and she is obviously not good at dealing with mages with relatively long hands. Once the line is locked, there is no way to take advantage of the support of the ultimate move. If you interact with those late-stage magic cores, it will be a slow death.
Due to the long-distance support capability of her ultimate move, the designer gave a very low AP bonus to Vigus's damage skills. Can you imagine that the AP bonuses of the five damage skills are not as high as the W shield? It might have been barely enough before the switch, but now that all the heroes have become fleshier, it has become more difficult for Vegus to rely on a set of skills to defeat everyone in seconds, so that many players have started to directly hold back their hats on the third item and use fault tolerance. Go for damage.
It can be seen from the winning rate curve that Vigus is a hero who exerts power in the mid-term. She is relatively strong when she is in a two- or three-piece set, because at this time, the defensive equipment of the C position may not have been formed yet, and the front row is not particularly strong. Be sure to If you enter the market at a good time, you still have a chance to complete the harvest, but if you drag Vegus later, it will become increasingly weak. In the late stage, the winning rate will almost drop to 40%. One of the purposes of the designer adding durability changes is In order to make the game time longer , this put Wei Gusi into embarrassment.
In addition, the increase in the appearance rate of tank heroes in the current version has also had some impact on the strength of Vigus. Although the warriors have the Death Dance Demon Drinking Knife, they dare not take the ultimate move of Vigus at will, while tanks It’s different. I wish you could throw it at my head with your ultimate move. Vigus’ ultimate move is not very easy to hit. Now there are two meats blocking the way in front of the group. It’s even more difficult to get to the back row. , if you can't touch the crispy skin, then the damage from Vigus is only enough to be scraped. So in general, if mid laners want to improve their scores now, they have to either play late-stage magic cores or play pure tool ADCs. Mages with low ceilings like Vigus are completely unsuitable for the version.
What happened to Wei Gusi is like you were originally a senior executive of the company, but less than a year after you were comfortable, a new leader suddenly came in to talk about the company's reforms. As a result, you turned into a handyman. Everyone will say whether this is unlucky enough.But there is also good news, that is, the designer has announced that Vigus will be strengthened in version 12.13, hoping to make some substantial changes, such as shortening the passive CD, ultimate CD, etc. If it is just to add a little damage I'm afraid it won't be enough to make Vigus get better.
