Mingkai, if you're this cowardly, you should just go home and raise pigs.

Riot Games' designers completely overhauled the talent system after Season 7.

The changes to the talent system have resulted in new talents being far more powerful than the old talents from Season 7.

Simply put, with the same heroes and the same equipment, the game pace has been accelerated.

This leads to a problem: the space for late-game heroes to appear is compressed.

The enhancement of talents makes early-game heroes stronger, but the growth curve of early-game heroes is problematic, and they will become weak in the late game.

Furthermore, the removal of the green jungle item, coupled with the reduction of control wards from three per player to two per player, has increased the cost of map control for the winning side.

When the team invests in vision control, they tend to favor the half-area principle.

Based on this logic, the jungler's ability to dominate their lane in the jungle becomes extremely important.

Previous versions involved gaining an advantage in lane, controlling map vision through lane control, and creating space for the lane to continue gaining an advantage.

As for jungling? Just be a human ward in the jungle.

However, in this version, you must exert pressure on your lane opponent in the jungle.

Simply put, the jungle has become, to some extent, a lane where a lane can create a significant difference in the matchup.

"This season is more inclined towards the half-lane principle. What do you think of the jungle investment trend in this version?" Mingkai implicitly acknowledged that he was not suitable for this version and asked, "Should you play the top, mid, and jungle roles that you are more proficient in, or focus on a dual-carry system with the bot lane as the main focus?"

"What was the premise for EDG's successful path to gold last year?" Zhou Hanyang didn't answer Mingkai's question, but instead chose to ask a question in return:

"The premise is that we can play any system! If we want to win the championship, we must be able to play any system and play it to the point that our opponents can't solve it."

“If we fight against every system, it will put too much pressure on 3C.” Mingkai couldn’t help but frown.

You can let a player attack or let him withstand pressure, and that's fine.

Professional players can definitely do that.

However, it is very difficult to switch flexibly between offense and defense.

"That's why I brought them here." Zhou Hanyang's lips curled up into a smile: "Whether it's Saint Gun or Jack, they are both players who can attack and defend."

With a little guidance, I believe they'll adapt well, and as the jungler, I'll help them share some of the offensive pressure. The key point is... our mid laner is Knight!

Left Hand may not be as good as Three Saints, but he is definitely the strongest domestic mid-laner.

His laning ability is beyond doubt; he just needs to make up for his own damage output in team fights.

“Since you have your own ideas, then go ahead and do them!” Abu nodded affirmatively upon hearing this.

……

After the conversation ended, everyone went back to their own training.

The next day, EDG and WE arranged a best-of-five (BO5) scrim.

Although everyone was prepared for the new team to need to gel, EDG only managed to win two games in their best-of-five scrim against WE.

In the entire best-of-five series, four games were close and evenly matched, while the three games lost were all due to the bottom lane being caught out and collapsing.

The reason why the four games were so close was because in one game, EDG's bot lane gave away a double kill at level 1, and then got ganked by the jungler at level 3, making it impossible for them to play!

Meiko is already a strong laner, while JackeyLove, who just turned 17, always walks straight into the opponent's face during the laning phase and never looks back.

The two players are indeed strong in lane, but the bot lane is a situation that's been going on since the start, and their tendency to die easily is already showing signs.

However, Zuo Shou, who was laning against Xi Ye in the mid lane, not only did not fall behind at all, but even managed to consistently gain control of the mid lane.

After the match, Nofe, Mingkai, and Zhu Kai reviewed the game together with EDG's five starting players.

"First of all, it's good that you guys are laning in the bottom lane, but why is there such a problem when the other side comes?" Nofe turned his gaze to Jack and Meiko.

A losing bot lane matchup is never just one person's problem; it's always a problem for both of them.

Meiko's expression froze. He really wanted to say that no matter which AD he partnered with before, he was always the one standing in front of the AD looking for opportunities, but Jack was too abnormal.

Playing Ezreal, you can use your E to directly hit the enemy's face; playing Kalista, you can jump right into the enemy's face.

He was playing a tanky support like Braum or Taric, and since the ADC had already jumped in to fight the enemy, he naturally had to follow suit.

In the bottom lane, the support usually sets the pace, but right now he's being led by JackeyLove.

Jack was last-hitting minions when he accidentally hit the enemy ADC in the face, all the while shouting things like "Get him! Get him!"

This unprecedented situation caused Meiko to be completely led by Jack.

Naturally, they went along with Jack to deliver it!
