Through continuous updates and changes to the game, League of Legends has been favored by many players. Today, the list of heroes in the game has become very long, and in 2020, Riot Games released 6 new heroes. , as of the recently released Riel, there are 153 characters in the game, one of which These new heroes can also play multiple positions.
Heroes are an important part of League of Legends and the main content of the game. Players always like to try various new heroes, and the focus on the release of new heroes in the past year is nothing more. It's almost like having a new hero every time, and trying to make the hero more closely related to the event. Related. As the year comes to an end, let us review the 6 new heroes that debuted in 2020.
Seti - Four-Way Swing
The first new hero in 2020 is a king of fighters who is good at melee combat. Sett's character design was considered the best when it was first released. The suitable position is top lane. After all, the designer also designed a powerful recovery passive around the lane, which can also cause high damage to tank heroes. However, due to Sett's strong control ability, he has excellent bypassing. Due to the group ability and the explosive ability of the migrant workers' third company, Seti quickly became popular in other positions.
was launched again 11 months later. When reviewing this hero, he has performed well in the top lane, jungle, mid lane and support positions. Except for being unable to play the long-range ADC position, Seti is basically all-round. Of course, the jungle position is now a bit weak. . Although Sett has experienced many weakenings and his output ability is far inferior to that of Publish, his stable performance always makes him have a good reputation in the professional arena.
In addition to the top lane position, the auxiliary position is where Seti plays the most. After all, he has extremely stable team-building ability. Once two people are involved, Seti can basically win the battle. The W skill has both tankiness and damage. It is difficult for the opponent to kill him quickly. In many cases, Sett's flash + aura cloak directly picks up the back row after entering the field. This ability to start a group is unique among auxiliary heroes. He can also cooperate with the stopwatch to delay enough time, allowing him to actively participate. Small-scale team battle.
Lilia - version answer?
After Seti was released, It took half a year for League of Legends to release its next new hero. This time span is the longest in history. With the advent of the Soul Blooming Festival, Lilia is added to the game. She is a common deer girl in the magical theme. The Soul Blooming Festival is a fist. The game is a bold attempt to introduce elements of text RPG games. Players can improve their character intimacy through game battles and obtain various rewards. Since both Lilia and Seti can obtain free tokens through events, they were highly anticipated before their debut.
Lilia is one of the few AP jungle heroes, and she is not an assassin type character, which injects freshness into the jungle. Generally speaking, Lilia's body is relatively fragile and her skill range is relatively short, but her continuous combat ability is very strong and she has a super high movement speed. Lilia's skill bonus is very high, but how to produce the most output has become a problem for every player. In addition, Lilia has the ability to poke from a distance. If the E skill hits a squishy character, she can use her ultimate move to control the opponent.
When this hero was first released, the overall winning rate was very low. However, as players developed their playing styles and improved their skill levels, Lilia's jungle clearing efficiency and anti-wild ability were reflected. Soon, Lilia became a popular jungle hero in high-end games and professional arenas, and was very active in the summer split. Of course, the debate about Lilia has never stopped. Like most AP jungle heroes, if you can't take advantage in the early stage, you will become a burden on the team in the middle and late stages. Only an ER can start the team.
Therefore, Lilia performed poorly in the qualifying stage of the S10 Global Finals. Many viewers thought she was a BP trap rather than a version answer. However, in the group stage and knockout rounds, junglers from top teams were keen to use her. This hero didn't even dare to be released easily.In the end, Lilia had 25 picks and 13 bans in the main game, and her popularity as a jungler was second only to Graves.
However, Lilia has not been doing well recently. She has been affected by the equipment changes in the S11 preseason. Version 10.23 added mythical equipment and made adjustments to many equipment. In particular, the rune echo commonly used by AP jungle heroes has been removed. The winning rates of most popular AP jungle heroes have been affected to some extent. Of course, Elise and Taliyah have re-emerged due to equipment changes. There is still a lot of controversy about Lilia's mythical equipment. Most players choose Landry's Pain. However, in the Demacia Cup Guangzhou Station, some players also chose Night Reaper or even Moonstone Regenerator.
Yongen - not happy enough
Yasuo has successfully attracted players all over the world with its strong fun and excellent carry ability since its release in 2013. It can be said to be the iconic character of League of Legends. Yasuo is a "happy man" in the true sense. Many fans don't care about the outcome of the game, they just can't calm down their manic hearts. It is not easy for
to design a hero that surpasses Yasuo, but the hero team still tried. They added Yasuo's brother Yone in the 2020 Soul Blooming Festival. Yasuo and Yone's skill sets have many similarities. For example, their passives increase the chance of critical hits, their Q skills both stack 3 layers to knock them back, and their ultimate skills both rush to the enemy's back row and slash at them. Of course, there are still big differences between the two. Yasuo is more like a guerrilla warrior, while Yone is an explosive assassin. Also, Yone is weaker than Yasuo during laning, but he doesn’t eat up the lineup like Yasuo does in teamfights.
Yongen has been actively tried by many players shortly after it went online, and his strength is also very obvious. As a new hero, his winning rate exceeded 50% in the first week. We also need to consider that his appearance rate was very high at that time, and the hero had higher requirements for players' operations. Therefore, Yongen's performance was better than expected.
However, due to the awkward release time of Yongen, not only could he not be used in the LPL Summer Split, he could not be used in the S10 Global Finals. Since Yongen has been banned in previous professional events, without professional players to drive the popularity, he was ultimately unable to surpass his younger brother. However, in the recent All-Star Game and KeSPA Cup, both Faker and Chovy performed brilliantly using Yone. However, due to some weakening of Yongen and the huge impact of preseason changes, his strength is significantly different from what it was in August.
Samira - the real ADC
From the perspective of commercial marketing strategy, Samira has received the least attention. After all, Seraphine has already become popular in the community before her normal warm-up. But this cannot stop Samira from becoming one of the strongest ADC heroes in history. She has melee and long-range forms, as well as the ability to refresh the displacement mechanism and resist flying projectiles. The most important thing is that Samira has an S rating mechanism similar to Devil May Cry. Players need to quickly hit the S rating to use the ultimate move to complete the harvest.
Therefore, Samira players are different from traditional ADC heroes, and are a bit like an assassin like Kai'Sa. Samira doesn't even need too many attack speed equipment, blood-stealing and critical strike equipment are the first choices. Samira is one of the few heroes who can directly double kill with auxiliary at level 2. With mainstream tank auxiliary heroes, it is easy to defeat the opponent. She His snowballing ability is excellent.
When Samira went online, she was far more powerful than Yone. Her strength became a hot topic in forums and live broadcasts. Everyone complained that this hero was too strong, so much so that the designer made Samira the first time she went online. One day, it was decided to release a hotfix to nerf the game. Even so, Samira has maintained a very high appearance rate, ban rate and win rate for a long time. She is a special existence in the generally weak ADC situation in 2020.
With the arrival of the preseason, although Samira's outfit ideas have been affected, the mythical equipment Immortal Shield Bow is very suitable for her, and Samira can still perform well.Of course, there is no hero that cannot be solved by patches. After being continuously weakened, Samira's win rate in version 10.25 has been lower than 50%, but it is still much better than Aphelios. Due to Samira's strong harvesting ability, even though she has been weakened many times, she is still a popular hero in the professional arena. Whether it is the Demacia Cup or the KeSPA Cup, she is the best-performing ADC hero.
Seraphine - rising support star
Seraphine has received a lot of attention before its official release. After all, she is the latest member of the virtual girl group K/DA. She has the ultimate skin since her debut. Riot Games has worked hard to manage it. More than two months of Twitter and Weibo. But after Seraphine's skill set was exposed, this hero quickly caused controversy. Many players believed that her skill set was not much different from Sona. In the initial version of the test server, Seraphine had the Chinese line "Come on". Naturally, she was attacked by a bunch of anti-China elements overseas, so Riot Games had to change it to "Fighting" in English.
To this day, Seraphine still has polarizing reviews overseas, and many of the negative reviews come from her character. Of course, let’s put these topics aside for the moment and return to the gameplay of the game. Although Seraphine is considered to be Sona plus, there are still some differences between the two. Her wave clearing ability is very strong, but her skills have a long cooldown time, and they have to be cast in advance. She cannot roll around the keyboard like Sona. .
Seraphine is a hero that is extremely difficult to operate. Once your skills are empty, it is easy to put yourself in danger and cannot make much contribution to the team. In the test server, many players used Seraphine in the top lane and mid lane positions. In the official server, there are more bottom lane and auxiliary positions, especially the proportion of auxiliary positions is gradually increasing.
The reason is also very simple. Seraphine's laning ability in the middle lane is not strong, and her map running ability is very average. Her skill set is very team-oriented, so she can play a greater role in the bottom lane with her teammates. To this end, Riot Games released a patch that weakened Seraphine's base damage, increased AP bonus and damage to minions, and they tried to return Seraphine to the middle.
Even so, most players still insist on using Seraphine as the auxiliary hero, and the mid lane position is still tepid. Especially after the version changes in the preseason, Seraphine quickly adapted to the new version of the equipment. Moonstone Regenerator or Imperial Command are very suitable for her. The current win rate in the auxiliary position is close to 51%. The designers finally agreed to retain the two gameplay modes of mid laner and auxiliary position, but they still made some enhancements to the mid lane position. Therefore, in the latest version of statistics, the proportion of mid laner Seraphine is only 11.5%, but The winning rate has reached 54.3%.
Riel - the future is uncertain
League of Legends released the 153rd new hero in December. Riel is very powerful in the background story and has the courage to face the Noxus Empire. In Summoner's Rift, she is an auxiliary hero and a rare tank auxiliary character. The previous female tank auxiliary characters were basically only Leona.
However, Ruier has not been favored by everyone, even though she has the latest Empress series skin. As a new hero, Reel's usage rate went from over 7% initially to only 3.4% on December 31, which is not much higher than Seraphine. In this version where tank auxiliary heroes are generally strong, Riel's performance is indeed a bit surprising. Even in high-end games, her priority is far lower than Leona.
Riel's winning rate is much higher than it was on December 10. When she was first released, it was 44%. It reached the highest level of 49% and is currently down to 47%. As a new hero that has been online for nearly three weeks, Riel's winning rate has basically stabilized. Although she requires more operations than ordinary auxiliary heroes, the difficulty is not as high as expected.
Riel may need some enhancements in the next version to make her more attractive to ordinary players. Although she has a good concept, Riel's mechanism itself is a bit boring, especially the self-punishment in the form of dismounting, which makes many players uncomfortable. Not adaptable.However, it is still too early to judge whether Riel is successful. After all, she has been online for less than a month. We need to wait until next year to see clearly Riel's future.
