LOL: I love sharp reviews and have become a professional expert

In the game League of Legends, when it was first designed, ADC (Attack Damage Carry) did indeed have a very prominent and strong performance among the five positions.

However, since Season 5, each of the five positions in the game has had a very clear and distinct role.

Starting from Season 5, the roles that can have a decisive impact on the course of a game are no longer limited to a specific position.

Top laners can be key to turning the tide of battle, junglers also have the ability to turn the tide, mid laners often drive the pace of the game with their individual skills, and even the Ardent Censer support, who briefly shone in the S7 World Championship, has shown the potential to influence the outcome of the game.

But since then, AD has no longer had the ability to absolutely dominate the game.

As the top lane becomes increasingly important in matches, and despite the ongoing adjustments to the mid and jungle positions based on game balance, the overall importance of these three positions—top, mid, and jungle—has once again been significantly enhanced.

Nowadays, if a team's top, mid, and jungle players are at a disadvantage, even if the AD carry player is extremely strong, winning the championship is almost an impossible task.

This year, when they saw Su Mu move to the AD position, the designers were secretly relieved.

After all, they had been struggling to figure out which heroes to weaken in order to limit Su Mu's powerful strength.

In the eyes of the designers, even someone as strong as Su Mu could not escape this pattern of the competition as a whole.

After all, Su Mu's two world championships and the strength of his teammates who fought alongside him on the field were not to be underestimated.

Although Su Mu ultimately won the FMVP award, his outstanding performance on the field could not overshadow the excellent performance of his teammates.

Moreover, in interviews, Su Mu never took all the credit for the championship upon himself.

This shows that AD carries are not the absolute core of Summoner's Rift, and an AD carry alone cannot control the entire battle in Summoner's Rift.

At the same time, Riot Games is well aware that it has no right to restrict a player's right to find suitable teammates.

Take this year for example. At the beginning of the Spring Split, EDG's performance was not satisfactory, and Riot Games once thought that EDG was headed for decline.

But who could have imagined that this team, after overcoming numerous difficulties and setbacks, would fight its way into the MSI?

People can't help but wonder if they can continue to ride the waves and sail forward in the later stages of the competition?

"Goat's performance has been so good, with almost no noticeable fluctuations, which is really unusual."

"A designer said with a wry smile."

"No, this is actually very scientific."

Another designer, wearing glasses, gently shook his head and retorted, "While the ADC position can no longer dictate the course of Summoner's Rift battles as it used to, it has unique characteristics that other positions don't possess. The vast majority of ADCs have relatively fixed operating patterns, primarily relying on basic attacks for damage output."

"Although we, as designers, can adjust the data of each ADC hero to determine which ADC hero is stronger and which is relatively weak in the current version."

"But no matter how we adjust, Goat's own exceptional skill is undeniable. Moreover, as far as I know, Goat pays special attention to his health in addition to his daily training. This means that as long as his personal performance remains stable and without any mistakes, he can maximize his potential in the ADC position regardless of the game version."

Just as the designer was speaking eloquently, another designer suddenly interrupted him: "Are we just going to let this go? If this continues, the LPL region will probably have a firm grip on the championship. Besides the players in the Chinese region, the number of players from other regions will decrease because of this!"

"No, you're wrong." The bespectacled designer who had spoken earlier shook his head slightly again, saying calmly, "We've made a lot of adjustments to the game version recently, but haven't you noticed that the current version has been adjusted to a somewhat distorted degree?"

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.

Even Ghostcrawler, a highly influential figure in game design, frowned deeply.

"Whether or not a team can win the championship depends on its own strength. In the world of esports, fairness is the most important principle. I have always believed that in the past World Championships, some champion teams actually benefited from the version's advantages and won the championship, rather than relying entirely on their own true strength."

As he spoke, he glanced at the designer who had spoken earlier and said seriously, word by word, "Furthermore, regarding the player churn issue you mentioned. The main purpose of tournaments is to increase the game's popularity and promote the gradual commercialization of League of Legends. But the real factor that determines whether players will churn is not which team wins the championship, but rather the players' own schedules and the inherent fun of the game itself!"

"I hope that in the next version update, we can focus on providing a better gaming experience for players, rather than making the version chaotic in order to limit the performance of a particular team."

……

The designers were arguing fiercely over some details, and their heated debate echoed around them.

However, Su Mu, who was focused on the game, was completely unaware of this.

At this moment, Su Mu was completely focused on crushing SKT's defense line bit by bit, and every move he made was closely related to the course of the game.

With two dragons in hand, SKT initially held a certain advantage in the early game thanks to the dragons.

However, after both carries died in the battle, the advantage brought by the dragon vanished instantly.

The reason is that the mid-lane tower and the bottom-lane tower are both in imminent danger and are facing collapse.

Relying solely on Nidalee and Gragas, they simply cannot defend the middle tower.

At the same time, the EDG team demonstrated extremely high tactical intelligence.

The plane that had been hiding in the shadows on the upper lane received instructions to continue leading the line forward.

So, when Nidalee and Gragas hurriedly returned to defend the mid lane, the Corki had already advanced to the vicinity of the inhibitor tower and began to attack it.

Su Mu, who was still active online, had very little health left, but fortunately, Shen and Lee Sin were protecting him like loyal bodyguards at the front.

Su Mu remained calm and composed, standing steadily at the back of the team. His presence alone brought an invisible deterrent force to the SKT team.

Faced with this situation, SKT made a difficult decision: they chose to protect the mid lane tower, but had no choice but to give up the bottom lane tower, and sent Jayce back to defend the top lane high ground immediately.

However, the moment Jayce appeared on the top lane high ground, EDG's Corki immediately used his teleport skill to teleport to the mid lane.
