Chapter 558: Digging an unprecedented big hole!
After using the crocodile to confuse other teams for a week, when the frequency of the crocodile appearing in the Rank decreased, Xing Dao started practicing Captain Stormrage again.
It once again sparked a wave of imitations.
Compared to the crocodile that was tried out in a training match and found to be unfeasible.
Captain Stormrage's combat value seems high enough.
The three-phase storm two-piece set has a 100% critical hit rate, and with the addition of an Infinity Edge, it can achieve the effect of hitting the target with one shot.
To the extent that most teams regard the Captain as a hero that needs to be fought over.
But...
After getting some scientific knowledge, the EDG members who had been tested in a normal environment were already grinning.
Captain Stormy looks wonderful.
It is also very easy to use.
But there is a very big drawback.
That is... neither Stormbreaker nor Infinity have the attribute of basic critical strike rate!
This means that the critical hit triggered by Stormbreaker's passive ability can only cause 160% damage, while Infinity has already cut off the critical hit damage bonus and only converts 15% of the value into true damage.
Looks very strong.
Actually...it was exchanged for the upper limit!
In the Rank, the development is uneven and the cooperation is a little weak, which makes Captain Stormrazor have a super high winning rate.
It is difficult to detect shortcomings in training matches because the teams basically withdraw once the advantages and disadvantages are clearly determined, and few teams are willing to practice extreme comebacks.
In official competitions, even if Gangplank, who has Tri-Force + Stormbreaker + Infinity, bombs the back row with barrels, it may not necessarily affect the outcome of team battles.
Moreover, the further you delay, the further it slides.
——The fourth item for Gangplank is not suitable for attack speed and critical strike equipment such as Green Fork, Electric Knife, and Cannon; the Phantom Flame with only 18 points of penetration and the Whisper with percentage "extra armor penetration" are not very meaningful; as for Bloodthirster or Spring Brontë... they are basically a joke for output heroes like Gangplank.
That little bit of tolerance can at most save lives, but it does not help the overall situation!
The fifth piece, which is the last piece of the six-piece outfit, has almost no visible improvement!
"And more."
Zizi added with a smile: "After the large-scale revision, the pace is fast. Captain Stormy's playstyle can last a long time in the game. It will at least waste a month or two of their time... When everyone is familiar with it and the pace slows down, the captain will be useless!"
"More than that." Xing Dao shook his head: "I'll use it first, try to get a Ban position, and then I'll choose it when I release it."
"……grass!"
"MD, is this still possible?"
"Xu Jingzong is so wronged. The title of the eternal sinner should be given to Brother Jie."
"Other teams will probably kill you offline if they find out..."
Meiko, Jiejie, Ashui, and the factory manager all entered a sweating mode...
I used to think that Crocodile was a big scam, but now I find that the effect is not that good, which makes me a little disappointed.
Watch now.
What kind of child's play is this Crocodile?
Captain Rankiri is the real deal!
If they fall into the trap of Captain Stormrage 's tactics, even the strongest team in the region may capsize or even be demoted.
You know , the higher the quality of the game, the more important the top laner is.
In their respective regions, as long as the mid, AD, jungle, and support positions are strong enough, any random top laner can become a phantom god in the civil war.
But when it comes to the World Championship, all teams with weaknesses in the top lane are beaten to a pulp!
If the top laners of other teams were distracted by practicing this Stormbreaker... the future scenes would be so beautiful!
"Tsk, I can use it myself too."
“I am a victim too.”
Xing Dao said confidently: "I won't say any more. I'm going to start a live show to show off my skills as the captain. You guys better be careful and don't let the truth get exposed."
"I'll broadcast your live broadcast to get some popularity and praise the captain, hehehe..." Zizi greeted him in advance.
"Turn, turn, turn!" Xing Dao didn't care at all.
As for popularity, whether you take advantage of it or not, the overall amount is the same.
The audience who are willing to go to Zizi's live broadcast room to watch the broadcast obviously don't like Xing Dao's live broadcast style very much.
There is no talk of diversion.
Instead, it cultivates new audiences.
It is a mutually beneficial behavior.
More than a week passed as everyone fought for the captaincy.
June 11th.
The 2018 LPL Summer Season has kicked off.
According to the previous grouping, the teams in the Western Division are: EDG, RW, Snake, FPX, WE, OMG, and TOP.
The Eastern Division is: RNG, IG, BLG, SNG, JDG, VG, and LGD.
In terms of strength...the Western Conference where EDG is located has a higher ceiling.
After all, EDG won the MSI championship when Zzitai was the mid laner. Replacing him with Xiye, who is at the dean level, made up for the last shortcoming.
As for the elderly factory manager...
Only when we enter the World Championship will someone dare to say that the factory manager is old.
In the LPL region, no matter who it is, they will tremble when they see the factory manager's knife that is used to kill pigs... no, it's the knife that is used to kill familiar people.
But from the overall competitiveness perspective.
RNG, the runner-up in spring, is a strong team of the same level as IG, which fell to fourth place due to The shy's injury. BLG and the two major e-commerce companies are not ordinary teams either. LGD is a well-known water ghost. The only real weak team is VG, which has a lot of money and stupid people.
The Eastern Conference is obviously more intense and interesting.
Therefore, in the first game of the summer season, the official arranged for IG and JDG to compete.
"It's a pity that The shy hasn't come back yet."
Xing Dao felt a little disappointed when he saw that Duke was IG's starting top laner: "He is quite proficient in Gangplank and dares to choose him. If it was Duke, IG would not dare to pick Gangplank."
"It's okay, JD.com is probably the right choice. I've been using Zoom a lot recently." The factory manager has encountered this many times.
Waiting for the opening act and warm-up nonsense to be over.
Entering the formal stage.
The Captain, who has been a must-ban in high-score rankings recently, has indeed been valued .
In the first game, IG banned Gangplank and used a relatively traditional lineup of top lane Aatrox, jungle Shen, mid lane Lulu, and bottom lane Kai'Sa and Taurus. They easily won against the five unconventional hero combination of Dragon Lady, Ornn, Malphite, Vladimir, and Pike used by JGD.
Rookie turned into a scholar in the canyon, with a total record of 3-0-8, and was not killed throughout the whole process.
In the second game, IG wanted to test their strength and released the Captain.
As a result...JDG gave Zoom the Captain without hesitation, and got back on track, choosing jungle Olaf, mid lane Zoe, and bottom lane Xayah and Rakan.
IG's top laner is Aatrox, jungler is Shen, mid laner is Vladimir, and bottom lane is EZ + Morgana.
In actual combat, Zoom single-handedly suppressed Duke's Aatrox and beat him hard. With Tri-Phase, Storm Cut, and Infinity in his hands, his combat power was at its peak, and he defeated Duke and Ning in a 1v2!
Then they crushed IG and tied the score to 1-1.
IG banned the Captain again, and only then did they win the third game under the leadership of Rookie's Ahri with a record of 8-1-5.
Next, the game between BLG and VG also proved this point.
Based on the performance of major competition regions such as South Korea, Europe, the United States and Taiwan, professional players, coaches and logistics personnel around the world reached a consensus.
The consensus is... whoever uses Captain Stormrage will be strong!
