Chapter 552: Champion skin debuts!
The four words "Guodian" were originally a derogatory name for EDG, and the source was Ed Zhu's Weibo after the failure of the blitzkrieg against Poland.
Just like what Wawa said, "The damage from an Infinity Edge is particularly high," it is a false rumor.
At that time, it was just said that the self-media took things out of context and wanted to destroy the e-sports industry, but there was no such thing as claiming to be Z Country e-sports.
but.
Until today.
Ed Zhu feels that in the LOL field, EDG seems to have the qualifications to carry these four words.
Version 8.11.
A big update after MSI, with champion skins online.
There are two heroes in the AD position, Skateboard Shoes and Xia, which belong to Iboy and A Shui respectively.
The support is Luo.
The mid laner is Taliyah chosen by Scout.
The jungle position is Sejuani.
The top laner is Shen.
Compared to the first skin with dark blue tones and oriental dragon theme.
The skin design this time is relatively simple.
But the quality is definitely not low.
The main tone is EDG's color scheme.
The spear held by Skateboard Shoes is half black and half white. The black part is the front half including the tip of the spear, and the white part is the spear shaft held in his hand. It is translucent and has a feeling similar to "shadow".
The torso is more in line with the setting of a spirit, and the light armor on the body has become much more compact and has a metallic luster.
The quality is T3 and the feel is definitely T1.
Xayah and Rakan’s costumes are similar to the Saint Seiya armor and are extremely sharp. The feathers and skill special effects also have a translucent effect. The exclusive return to city action has been changed from a couple’s action to a comrade-style high-five.
Taliyah's outfit is more concise, the Q skill [Stone Piercing] has become a beam of light, the W and E skills have gradient colors and edge details, and the ultimate skill has changed from a circular rock wall to a series of cylinders. A layer of energy will emerge from the Taliyah's body as it sprints forward on the rock wall, with the three letters EDG faintly visible on it.
Pig Girl is like a dark knight. Both her body and the war pig are covered in heavy armor engraved with exquisite patterns. The EDG team logo is on the top of the E skill special effect and in the center of the R skill.
Blue Steel Shadow...
“Wow, it’s so big!”
“It is indeed big.”
"No, the size isn't the point. The special effects are what matters in the game."
"The special effects are maxed out, the second stage of Q is so cool!"
“Buy, buy, buy!”
"Salvin can't even play top lane anymore, so I can't use it even if I buy it."
"Why can't I use it? Can't I play in the jungle? Can't I play in ARAM? Can't I use it in AI? Can't I use it in social security?"
“That’s right!”
"Wait...something's wrong upstairs!"
“…”
Compared to the first championship, most players bought a full set of skins as a support and commemoration.
This time, certain trade-offs were made.
At least it depends on whether it is useful or not.
Skateboard Shoes, Taliyah, and Sejuani are not very popular heroes, and the number of people who buy them is relatively small.
Xia Luo is in the middle.
The one with the highest sales is the very "great" sincerity of the Blue Steel Shadow.
This time, EDG's Shen has white hair and wears black and silver armor.
After the second stage of Q is converted into true damage, white holy flames will burn on the leg blades and knee corners, and there will be very cool residual light and shadow when kicking out.
And it changes the smoothness of the original painting.
Found my long lost grandma.
If you don’t buy the Yasuo skin, you will not only be sorry for EDG’s top laner and the designer’s hard work , but more importantly, you will be sorry for your brother...’s conscience!
Players care about skins.
The main focus of research in the professional circle is the content of new version updates.
"New hero Pike... New equipment Stormbreaker... Well, the attributes of Extraction and Infinity have also changed... Critical strike and armor-piercing equipment prices have increased, and lifesteal equipment prices have decreased... Also added the Blade Mastery talent and Ultimate Hunter, and removed the Ultimate Skill cap."
"It seems that they are not targeting us this time?"
Abu looked at the various changes involved in various aspects and was unable to make a clear judgment for a moment.
Just discuss it with the team members in the regular meeting.
“No one.”
Xing Dao read it carefully and said, "Some of the changes are not favorable to us, some are favorable to us, and most of them are normal updates without bias, but..."
"That's good." Abu just breathed a sigh of relief, but he became nervous again after hearing the last two words: "But what?"
"But this version is a bit messy..." Xing Dao felt it after playing Rank for a day.
After the attributes of Infinity Blade were modified, it can no longer be the first item to be purchased.
The attack speed and critical strike equipment have been uniformly increased by 300 yuan.
These two aspects combined make the situation of traditional crit AD difficult.
So after AP heroes like Karthus and Syndra went down the road, Yasuo, Gangplank and even Pantheon began to go down the road.
"It's too messy. All kinds of weird things are coming out."
Ah Shui complained: "Now, apart from EZ, I only dare to pick AD heroes in the backhand. If I play a normal AD hero first, I will be 100% beaten... Pantheon uses W and Prince's two combos, and whoever he touches will die."
"The impact on the jungle area is not significant, and Juggernaut or Xayah and Rakan can still be used in the mid and jungle." The factory manager analyzed from the perspective of the jungler.
"Pike is quite powerful, it would be better to study how to fit him into the lineup." Meiko tested the support.
"The middle lane hasn't changed much, it's still the same." Xiye tried to slow down his speech.
After the introductions, we entered the discussion phase.
Xiye has only played the mid lane position and cannot play top lane, but his hero pool includes Vladimir, Crow, Ryze, Galio who can play top lane, and Leblanc who is basically impossible to be killed, which can support EDG to continue using the Gem Swordmaster system.
Pike's control + displacement + camouflage acceleration + health recovery when leaving the enemy's field of vision + ultimate kill + money sharing combined may make him the darling of the professional league and he needs to be mastered.
In this regard, Xing Dao said that Pike can do more than just assist.
Can also be put on the road.
A Shui thought of continuing to use Iron Man, and got some recognition. He decided to try to see .
After discussing these, we entered the free Rank mode.
Taking into account that the reworked Sword Demon has already landed on the American test server and will be implemented in one or two versions, Xing Dao decided not to draw the lottery yet and wait until the new version of Sword Demon comes out.
Start live streaming to earn points.
Compared with official competitions, the points obtained from live broadcasts are relatively few.
But it's better than nothing.
What's more, you can also mix and match the gifts given by the audience.
Taking advantage of the benefit of getting 25% sales share within half a year after the launch of the champion skin, Xing Dao bought a full set of skins for his main and secondary accounts on the Chinese and Korean servers.
Shen can use it.
Skateboard shoes can be used.
Xia Luo can be used.
Pig girl can also be used in the future.
As for the last Taliyah...I really can't use it.
But the price of buying four skins separately is not much different from buying all five skins as a package, so just buy them all at once... and then ask Scout to return the 25% price of the Taliyah skin!
"brazen!"
"Baby is obscene!"
"Shame on you!"
"Shameless!"
“…”
When the barrage heard what Xing Dao said, they immediately started to arrange the idioms.
"No, what do you mean by shameless!"
Xing Dao refuted confidently: "I call this being frugal... What? Don't believe it? Come on, I'll start a lottery. Use the phrase 'being frugal' to win ten red packets of 100!"
