LOL: I really don't want to go back and inherit the family property

Chapter 122 Strengthening the Banner of Command - Thai Pants!

On October 10, after a day of playing at the beach in Santa Monica, the ROX team accepted the invitation from Riot the next day and went to Riot's headquarters in Los Angeles.

This trip, of course, is that Riot wants to talk to the ROX players about the selection of champion skins. After all, the hot topic of this topic has already sparked heated discussions in the fan circle after yesterday’s live broadcast sliced ​​out.

Arriving at the Riot headquarters, CEO Niccolo Lauren greeted him at the gate, but he just said hello and left. After all, Riot invited ROX here today to discuss the champion skin, so naturally he doesn’t need to be a CEO. .

Regarding ROX winning the championship, the internal reactions of the fist are different. For example, the operation department is very troubled by this.

The victory of ROX Tigers has inspired the enthusiasm of countless LOL players around the world, because their stories are so inspiring. After the finals, the number of global registrations and daily active users of LOL are increasing day by day.

At first glance, this is a good thing, but this ROX Tigers team has been disbanded for the foreseeable future, and the Riot headquarters even contacted the LCK to confirm.

In the case of ROX Tigers, after the champion skin is launched, most of the players who choose to buy the skin will be individual fans of the player, rather than a stable team fan like SKT.

And the designers felt that ROX won the championship-it's cool!
Riot designers have made a lot of changes to the League of Legends game this year, first with the addition of cornerstone talents, then with the AD update in version 6.1, and the mage update in version 6.9.

On the eve of the World Championships, the designers of Riot generally believed that the S6 global finals would undoubtedly be the version of Nakano, especially the big nuclear mage in the middle lane, who would have a lot of room to play.

But ROX Tigers took a different approach. While showing the personal abilities of the world's top players, they also came up with many strange moves that made SSG, SKT and other strong teams unable to parry.

Especially in the third game against SKT, ROX Tigers took out the "Flag of Command" equipment to deal with SKT's double AP mid-field combination, which made the designer who designed "Flag of Command" very excited.

"When the Banner of Command was designed, it was to hope that players could have a piece of equipment that strengthens the siege ability when the advance is blocked. And the Great Nuclear Mage is too powerful in the later stage, so the Banner of Command is also against many players. An effective weapon for the AP lineup, but other teams have not realized the importance of this piece of equipment!"

For the affirmation of the designers, the ROX team members are naturally very happy, but Lin Qiguang has a different opinion.

"In my opinion, there is still room for improvement and strengthening of the equipment Banner of Command. For example, its equipment attributes are very poor. Ability power, cooldown, magic resistance, and life regeneration, these attributes are all important for mages and tanks. It looks very tasteless."

"Each piece of equipment for a mage is very precious. While improving the magic power, one must also pay attention to the choice of attributes such as mana, cooling, survival, serious injuries, and deceleration. The equipment of the Banner of Command will not be considered at all."

"With this piece of equipment for tanks, except for the dispensable magic resistance and cooling, the rest of the attributes are not necessary, and it is difficult to improve combat effectiveness."

"For example, in the game between us and SKT, although our economy was at an advantage and our equipment was molded faster than SKT, the attributes provided by the Banner of Command seriously hindered the combat capabilities of Trundle and Skarner , causing us to never dare to engage in a head-to-head team battle with SKT."

"It wasn't until we relied on the containment of the super soldiers on the bottom lane to take down Baron Nash by pulling, and finally used the flag of command to strengthen the siege soldiers to break through SKT's top lane highlands, and grasped the absolute advantage of the line of troops, and finally won the game."

"So I think, smart and good designers, you can consider making a change to the equipment of the Banner of Command to increase its frequency of appearance in passers-by and competitions."

For Lin Qiguang's analysis and suggestions, the designers looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally held a meeting to discuss, and then came to a result.
Strengthening things like the flag of command - Thai pants are hot!

Therefore, among the changes in version 6.22, players discovered such a passage:

[Thanks to Flashlight players for their comments, we have polished and redone "Flag of Command". "Banner of Command" used to be composed of a piece of tank equipment (Aegis of Legion) + mage equipment (Demonic Codex). Such a functional piece of equipment is not a good choice for mages or tanks. 】

[Because mage heroes already have a considerable amount of functional equipment, we think that tank heroes should be given more opportunities to equip through "Legion Holy Shield", instead of dividing the function of this equipment into several classes (tank, mages and the occasional burst mage). 】

Total cost: 2900 gold coins → 2200 gold coins
Synthetic route: Legion Holy Shield (old version) + Demon Codex + 500 gold coins → Legion Holy Shield (new version) + Glacier Armor + 100 gold coins
Magic Resistance: 30
Cooldown Reduction: 10%
Added → Armor: 60
Added → Mana: 400
Removed → Ability Power: 40
Removed → Health: 200
Removed → Base Health Regeneration: 100%
Ascension:: UNIQUE Active - Ascension: Greatly increases the power of a lane minion and makes it immune to magic damage. (120 second cooldown)
REMOVED → Unique Passive – Legion: No longer grants +15 Magic Resist to nearby allies
Players have had mixed reactions to the changes to Banner of Command in patch 6.22.

[Okay, okay, it means that in the future, tanks will be even more unable to resist beating mages, Flashlight, thank you! 】

[Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo((ol. Flashlight he really, I cried to death! 】

[One thing to say, after the changes to Banner of Command, the synthesis route is much more comfortable, and it's also cheaper, okay! 】

[What shit changes?After this equipment is out, if you take the big dragon, the enhanced super cannon car will be purely incomprehensible, and let people not play games? 】

[Stop screaming, this equipment does not give high basic attributes, and it does not enhance combat effectiveness, it is purely functional equipment.You got the advantage by the meat tank bastard, and lost the big dragon. Don't you deserve to lose the game? 】

【Flashlight What does this have to do with the designer's suggestion?If things go on like this, the top laners in the Spring Split will be full of tanks again, and then everyone will play operations with a flag of command. What's the point? 】

[Is there a possibility?The Banner of Command equipment is purely anti-stress, and Flashlight wants you to be a coward, so that he can go to the jungle and the middle and lower lanes to withdraw money? 】

The hot discussion about "Flag of Command" is another story.

After chatting with the designers about some game content, the ROX team members officially began to communicate with Riot's champion skin design team.

Different from the previous life, this time the concept designer responsible for the ROX champion skin is Alex Flores!

Perhaps many players are not very impressed with the name Alex Flores, but if you mention the skins and models he designs now and in the future, you will be surprised.

"Nightbringer" - Yasuo!
"Dawnbringer" - Riven!
"Unyielding Spear", "Dragon Slaying Warrior" - Pan Sen!
"God King" - Darius!
"Project Origin: Sublimation" - Jhin!

"Supreme Witch" - Morgana!

Too many popular skin concepts have been presented to the world through his mastery. It can be said that he is responsible for the champion skin of ROX-stable!
As usual, Alex Flores first explained the basic rules of Riot Games. For example, substitute players must meet at least one game appearance. In principle, players are not recommended to choose heroes whose skins have appeared in previous champions. Players’ opinions are for reference only, and the final display effect of the skins has the right to interpretation Owned by Riot etc.
For these rules, Pray, Kuro, Gorrila, and Lin Qiguang naturally have no objections. Smeb also meets the requirements for the number of appearances, and his champion skin hero selection has never appeared before.

Only Peanut here, he wants to choose "Spider Queen" Elise, but the jungler skin of the previous champion SKT is Bengi's spider.

After all, Peanut has two heroes with the highest appearance rate in this World Championship: Spider and Blind Sin. One has the champion skin of S5, and the other has the champion skin of S3, and they are both from SKT. , It's a crime!
Looking at the anxious Peanut, Lin Qiguang took the initiative to stand up and communicate with Alex Flores: "Alex, there is a Chinese proverb - rules are dead, people are alive. Although the World Championship is the highest level League of Legends event, but After all, the same version is used from beginning to end, and there are not many heroes who can play in each position under the conditions of the current version."

"Lee Qing and Elise are the two heroes that Peanut used the most during the World Championship, especially when Peanut chose Elise, the audience would cheer enthusiastically, which shows that the audience and players In my heart, Peanut is already the most representative Elise user."

"And other heroes such as Olaf, Nocturne, Rek'Sai, and Skarner are not as popular as Li Qing and Elise. It is foreseeable that if these heroes are selected as Peanut's champion skin, the future skin sales It's also a problem."

For Lin Qiguang's opinion, the operation department expressed full affirmation. They can't control the quality of the skin, but when it comes to sales, they have to talk to Alex.

The rules, it’s not that they can’t be changed, anyway, isn’t it the fist that has the final say?

Sales!Sales is king!

To make money!
In this regard, Alex also had some difficulties. He did not expect that ROX would solve such a problem as soon as it came up. The key point is that he still can’t make a decision. After all, he is just a concept designer, not a management that makes rules.

So Alex made a direct phone call to CEO Nicolo Lauren.

Nicolo Lauren was silent for a while, and replied to Alex with a word: "Yes."

Ever since, the "rules" were broken like this, with almost no twists and turns.

Top order: ROX Flashlight - Lucian,

Jungle: ROX Peanut——Elise,

Mid laner: ROX Kuro—Karma,

ADC: ROX Pray - Ashe,
Support: ROX GOrrila - Miss Fortune,
Substitute top laner: ROX Smeb - Trundle.

In addition, Lin Qiguang also specifically referred to the "precedent" of KkOma in his previous life, discussed with Riot, and got a guard skin for Nofe.

After returning to the hotel, Nofe was so excited that she burst into tears when she learned about the incident, she almost knelt down.

"Qiguang, I didn't expect it. I didn't expect you to remember the bowl of udon noodles with eggs back then. It's so touching!"

"If you don't mind, I will follow you to the LPL, continue to be your coach, and give you the Counter position!"

Lin Qiguang smiled and nodded again and again, but what he was thinking in his heart was: I'm sorry Brother Nofe, it's been a pleasure working with you these days, but I choose Redmi.
