[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 251

As is the case with many positions, particularly in the jungle, the champions that appear often become fixed even after several seasons change.

This is because quite limited conditions exist for utilizing champions as junglers in the first place, and surprisingly, not many champions pass those conditions.

Perhaps that's why.

Lisim again.

Nadali again.

Elison again.

Gravezen again.

Kindredden again.

Again, again, again.

The champions seen in the jungle several seasons ago are still performing the same way in the jungle.

Of course, there were cases where champions originally from lanes like Kamal or Sailas played as junglers, but each time, they were chased out of the jungle by relentless patches.

The problem was matters different from their intended purpose.

Turning and turning like that, champions like Lisim, Elison, and Nadali are still actively playing as mainstream in the jungle.

Of course, it's not that there weren't champions who transformed into junglers due to relatively recent patches like Taloon, or new champions like Baego and Lillian, but they weren't champions that could appear defying the meta and patches.

'It's funny that this is still the best it gets.'

Although I've been saying negative things so far, it was still true that the current meta saw more champions appearing than any other jungle meta before.

This is because, despite everything, the performance of champions like Lisim, classified as so-called OP champions, was not completely unmanageable or without counters as before.

'Indeed, how will it be this time...?'

If I were to pick about three major changes that occurred in the jungle right now, I could mention runes, the Rift Scuttler, and items.

'I could just find out by playing solo queue alone... but since it's come to this, it might be better to turn on the broadcast?'

Since there would likely be viewers who had already experienced the PBE server, the intention was to borrow the power of collective intelligence.

Fortunately, since there were no team matches for the next 5 days, there was not entirely a lack of time.

In the past, I wasn't slow at understanding the meta because I spent the whole day just thinking about Legend of League, but this time, I had to think by separating the tournament version and the live version, so it couldn't be helped.

"Yeonwoo, is it okay if I turn on the broadcast? It might be distracting."

"I'm fine. Do as you're comfortable, Nuna. I'll be wearing headphones anyway."

"Okay."

I was worried that the neighbor next door might inquire about floor noise, but fortunately, it seemed that wouldn't happen.

'Let's see...'

I turned on the broadcast after a long time.

[ON AIR] [Outlaw111]

-Let's check out the big patch together

-Oh

-What is this

-Wow

-Did you see the patch?

-OUTLAW!OUTLAW!OUTLAW!OUTLAW!OUTLAW!OUTLAW!OUTLAW!OUTLAW!OUTLAW!OUTLAW!

-Ah - Ha

-hihihihi

-Nuna turn on the cam

-What quickly turn on the cam... I'm getting dizzy...

[Current Viewers: 1,531]

Despite being a sudden broadcast without any prior announcement, over a thousand viewers gathered in an instant.

It seemed they had set it up so that an alarm would go off when I turned on the broadcast.

"Ah, ah, everyone, long time no see. The cam is... just a moment. How do I do this."

-You wanna see me go crazy????????

-quicklyquicklyquicklyquicklyquicklyquicklyquicklyquickly

After concentrating on turning on the cam for a few minutes, the cam screen finally came on.

-Oh

-Ah - Ha (Basically means hi Outlaw)

-Nuna hi

-Blinding beauty today too tt tt

-Nuna I'm really dying...

『'Yorulehii' gifted '10' Star Balloons.』

『"No announcement surprise broadcast tt tt Love you Nuna"』

"Ah, ah, thank you for the ten Star Balloons. Long time no see, everyone. Have you all been well?"

-nonononono

-Was dying because Nuna wasn't here

-lol lol

-Kick out the simp-cows....

-You get out first you fk-idiot

As always, the chaotic chat window passed by.

In the past, it would have been very uncomfortable to see, but at some point, I got used to it and didn't think much of it.

Without realizing it, I seemed to have become a broadcast veteran.

"The reason I turned on the broadcast today was to check out the big patch together."

-ssss

-Good

-Magician of public sentiment tttt tttt

-Did you see the patch?

-What looks good?

"Hmm, first of all, something like Victoroo definitely looks good... but I think I need to try it out first. I'm not sure about the jungle yet."

I displayed the patch notes I had opened beforehand on the screen.

"Alright, then let's look at the patch notes together."

Although I had skimmed it once, it's also true that, due to the nature of a large patch, there are contents that aren't immediately understood just by looking at the written patch notes.

That's why I planned to read through the patch notes again with the viewers, learning about the parts I missed or misunderstood.

"Can you see it well? It's not too big or too small, right??"

-yyyyyy Just right

-Good

-Appropriate yyy

-Go go like this

The first thing that appeared was the patch content related to objective bounties.

"Hmm, it seems like now bounties are attached to objectives like turrets, Heralds, and Dragons for the advantageous team, not just champions."

-crazy

-Looks like there'll be a lot of comebacks

-agreed

-This is right yy

-Until now, there were many games where the advantageous team unilaterally steamrolled

-agreed agreed

As the viewers said, the objective bounty patch could be seen as having provided more basis for the disadvantaged team to make a comeback.

'Indeed.'

Until the previous season, it was very difficult for the disadvantaged team to overturn the advantageous team in Legend of League.

Of course, while not to the extent of the 'dehydrator' operation through ward farms in the distant past, it was because, due to the nature of the 4-dragon meta, the side that secured 4 dragons first had a high chance of solidifying the game.

"I'll move on immediately."

The next matter was jungle changes.

Large patches occurring in Legend of League always accompany jungle changes.

This was one of the reasons many junglers found it difficult to adapt with each patch.

In the case of laners, the direction of play itself doesn't change much due to patches, but for the jungle, in many cases, the pathing changes significantly from the start.

"Then let's look at the new dragon additions right away."

Chemtech Dragon and Hextech Dragon.

As expected of dragons introduced with a new patch, they were dragons with quite interesting effects.

"The Chemtech Dragon is similar to the Last Stand trait, and the Hextech Dragon is just attack speed and cooldown. The important thing is the Soul effect... this is quite interesting."

To summarize, the Chemtech Dragon Soul effect is somewhat similar to Cyan's passive, but instead, you can use skills.

And the Hextech Dragon Soul effect is similar to the Static effect, and comes with damage as well as slow.

-lol Looks really interesting lol

-Zombie Dragon tt tt

-Hextech is okay, Chemtech looks somewhat interesting

-agreed lol

"And the dragon map change effects are also unique."

Camouflage effect in the gas zone.

Teleport station.

They were all interesting effects.

'In addition to that, even the Wind Dragon changes...'

As confirmed earlier, none of them were small changes.

It just seemed relatively less significant compared to the changes that were about to come.

"The Rift Scuttler's value has significantly decreased. This seems quite important. It's hard to predict based on this alone... I'll have to see."

The spawn timing and value of the Rift Scuttler might seem to only affect junglers if you think simply, but in fact, it affects the mid lane just as much.

To give an extreme example, back when the Rift Scuttler appeared early, the tier of champions strong in Rift Scuttler skirmishes also rose in the mid lane.

Conversely, the decrease in value of the Rift Scuttler, one of the jungle monsters that induces skirmishes, meant that the tier of champions who could perform well in the late game, even if their early game was relatively weak, would rise.

-Rift Scuttler coin plummet tt tt

-Is Mei possible in tournaments now?

-No that's a bit...

-Info) Someone has already used Master Yi as a jungler in a tournament.

-They were already using it, what's so new about it lolol

-lol lol

"Next is... ah, this is really important."

-Was there anything not important?

-agreed

-Says it's all important lol

-Info) It's true that it's all important

"This time, it's real."

I scrolled the mouse wheel down towards the item patch details.

In a way, what could have an even greater impact than the patch for each individual champion was the new item and item change patch.

And then, an item that had been the subject of all sorts of rumors since the PBE server appeared before my eyes.

Crown of the Queen.

An item evaluated as having made Victoroo an overpowered champion along with the First Strike rune.

-They say this is super OP

-yy Victoroo surged because of this

-Tried it and it's really super duper OP the champion doesn't die

It was then.

"Nuna, do you want to duo after seeing that?"

Seoyeonwoo, who was next to me, suddenly poked his face into the cam screen.

-??

-whoa...

-Wow

-hihi

-ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER! ANER!

-Little Nuna I'm dying!

-lolololo sh** calling her Little Nuna

-lololololololololol

-Hyung... my clone is weird...

-Gay gay gay guys....

-This is... a man?

-Lying no don't believe it

-lol lol How is this a man

The chat window exploded.
