When talking about the IG team in the S8 era, one word that must come to mind is called trident, that is, the top laner, mid laner, and bottom lane ADC both have the ability to take over the game.
Our traditional gameplay is to carry the game in the middle or bottom lane, and the top lane theshy The emergence of broke this tradition, allowing the top lane to also have the ability of C.
You need to know what lpl were playing before theshy appeared. Crocodile Ornn is a meat warrior or a tank. Very few people dare to play top lane heroes like Jess Swordsman who prefer pure output.
Therefore, theshy’s gameplay directly changed the entire LPL top ecosystem.
Rookie, the mid laner back then, was also known as Korea's two biggest heroes like theshy. His one-hand enchantress kept playing various classic scenes, which left many people with psychological shadows.
rookoie's favorite thing to do is to steal the opponent's double C from the side or behind. This move directly prevents the opponent from focusing all their attention on the front, which also gives theshy and jacklove in the bottom lane more room to operate. .
Due to the characteristics of being strong in all three lanes, King Ning can play any lane, whatever he wants, so his rhythm is very easy. This is the main reason why King Ning was able to win the FMVP of the S8 Finals.
's top lane and ADC's playing style was relatively reckless, and the middle lane always stole from the side. This style of play was indeed pleasing to the eye at the time, but the question is, why didn't it work later? ?
This is a question worth thinking about.
After my personal analysis, I concluded that the first is that many of theshy’s powerful heroes have been cut, the second is that rookie’s status has begun to decline, the third is that theshy likes too much and does not focus on line of sight, which leads to frequent arrests, and the fourth is that jacklove likes too much. Positioning in front of the team often results in team fights being blocked.
