League of Legends Invincible Coach

Chapter 62

The commentators, audience members, and netizens watching the live stream noticed this even before the emperor himself.

Everyone marveled at Mr. Wu's incredible imagination. He managed to uncover such obscure, almost superhuman, technological methods.

On the other hand, everyone is also wondering what the final outcome of this matter will be.

The owner of the Gods Club was sitting in the audience, feeling extremely fortunate.

As a veteran club in the LPL, Zhushen's network of connections spans the entire LPL league.

Referees are considered to be among the marginal staff members in League of Legends matches.

Aside from setting up equipment at the start of the game and checking whether computers have any cheats or auxiliary software installed, referees are generally not very useful and do not have the same significant impact on the game as referees in sports competitions.

In games like football and basketball, if the referee favors one side, it's a disaster for the other side.

Even so, the gods still managed to befriend a great many esports referees.

Unbeknownst to everyone, the head referee for the League of Legends World Championship was secretly promoted by the owner of Glory through connections, with the aim of delivering a fatal blow to Glory outside of the competition if the opportunity arose at a crucial moment.

Wu Di's playing style is unconventional, relying on the tactics of those "black technology heroes".

However, even the most skilled can make mistakes; relying too much on "black technology" tricks will eventually lead to problems. This is because many of these tricks simply exploit game bugs.

In the eyes of the Gods Boss, Wu Di was simply playing with fire.

He didn't mind adding more oil.

Now, it's the referees' turn to take the stage, the fringe figures in esports competitions.

After negotiating with Letme and the other players, the chief referee, along with a group of referee members, marched menacingly toward Glory.

First, without saying a word, the referees began to check the computer equipment of the five Glory players.

After confirming that no external devices or plug-ins were loaded on the computer, the chief referee began to negotiate with Wu Di.

"Hello, Mr. Wu, do you have anything to say to the tournament organizing committee regarding Sun Wukong's W skill being able to trigger the passive effect of Relic Shield?" the chief referee asked Wu Di.

"Why should I confess? Did I cheat?" Wu Di retorted.

The chief referee said sternly, "Although you didn't cheat, this constitutes using a game bug in the competition, which violates the spirit of the event and is a violation. You should submit the bug data to the competition organizers, refrain from using bugged heroes in the competition, and publicly apologize to everyone. Otherwise, as the chief referee on site, I will disqualify you from the competition."

"Exploiting a bug? Violating the spirit of the competition? Breaking the rules? Public apology, or I'll be disqualified? That's quite a accusation."

Wu Di narrowed his eyes, a dangerous glint in them.

He was angry.

Before even understanding the situation, the chief judge had already sided with the gods and made what he considered a "fair" decision unilaterally.

The chief referee, being self-centered, made a unilateral decision and didn't even intend to listen to Wu Di's explanation.

Wu Di also became famous. Since you're being unreasonable, don't blame me for being impolite.

Do you really think I'm a pushover that you can bully at will?

Wu Di activated the special ability attached to Data Eye lv4: Illusion. During the eye contact with Wu Di, the chief referee suddenly lost control of his body.

Then, Wu Di pulled a printed document from his pocket and slammed it hard into the chief referee's face.

"Open your dog eyes and take a good look at what this is."

The chief referee blankly picked up the scattered documents, stared at them for a while, and then handed them to the other referees beside him.

The document contains little information, but it proves one thing.

Wu Di had already reported the bug to Riot Games, the developer of League of Legends, a week ago, regarding the fact that Sun Wukong's W ability could trigger the Relic Shield effect.

Teacher Wu's reputation for being cautious and thorough is well-deserved.

Two days ago, Riot Games officially replied via email, stating that this was not a game bug, but rather a hidden game mechanic similar to an Easter egg.

Congratulations to the player for discovering the hidden Easter egg! We wish you a pleasant gaming experience using this Easter egg during this period. Riot Games plans to remove this hidden feature soon.

In fact, Riot Games believes that the economic boost from Wukong's W triggering Relic Shield is only slightly stronger than the old Gangplank's Q with Greed Blade that gave minions extra gold.

However, the way Wukong triggers Relic Shield with his W is more concealed and harder to detect than the way Captain uses Greedy Blade to attack minions.

After all, the top lane or jungle Wukong and the support's gold item Relic Shield are basically completely unrelated.

Even the Great Sage with the Relic Shield build isn't without weaknesses.

First, you need to invest 400-800 gold in the early game to buy the Relic Shield and its upgraded version, Mount Targon. This will greatly affect Sun Wukong's combat ability in the early to mid-game.

Secondly, if the monkey's W triggers the Relic Shield passive, the Relic Shield's execute effect cannot be triggered.

In other words, only minions killed by the monkey's W skill will trigger the Relic Shield's gold bonus effect.

Monkey's W skill has a 1.5-second delay after casting, deals 70 base damage at level 1, and has a long cooldown of 18 seconds.

Using the extremely high latency and extremely low damage of the W ability to last-hit minions, especially when a large wave of minions is pushing towards the turret, makes last-hitting incredibly difficult.

If you prioritize leveling up your W skill, then Wukong will completely lose his fighting ability in the early to mid-game and will be easily suppressed by the opponent. Whether he is solo killed by the opponent or pushed into the tower, it will greatly affect Wukong's development and negate the gold bonus effect of W triggering the Aegis.

Finally, in the early game, Monkey is a relatively weak and squishy hero in the top lane.

The current meta top lane champions are either tanky heavy-armored champions like Urgot and Renekton, who have both high damage output, or light-armored warriors like Aatrox, Riven, and Jax, who have explosive damage, mobility, and crowd control, and are proficient in all kinds of skills.

As a T3-level squishy monkey, he already trembles in fear when facing these strong top laners in the current version.

If you use your crucial survival skill W to last-hit minions, a Monkey King with no mana, no skills, and weak damage output will easily become the opponent's cash cow.

If the opponent can't even defeat a monkey in this state, it can only mean that the true strength of the two sides is at least one or two major levels apart.

In conclusion, Riot Games' technical department has concluded that this is a decent unconventional hero strategy, but it falls far short of being a bug because it has far too many weaknesses.

Riot Games won't admit to leaving such a minor bug, but they will remove this hidden mechanism in the next update.

After all, the Greed Blade Captain has been phased out by the current version, and the Relic Shield Monkey King shouldn't exist for much longer either.
