The player is competing in Worlds 2024 but does not understand the hero skill set
In the recent match between Hanwha Life Esports and FlyQuest at Worlds 2024, as usual, most audiences and experts thought it could be a gentle victory for the LCK representative. However, FLY has proven that they won the LCS Summer 2024 title not by luck. In particular, the remaining LCS representatives of the team were somewhat more impressive with their smooth combat gameplay, as well as “weird” picks and bans, beyond the imagination of the League of Legends community. But from here, a problem for many players appeared that made the audience worried.
Specifically, the male streamer and former coach of Cloud9 – LS pointed out a detail that showed that Doran did not understand the skill sets of Nunu & Willump: “In this situation, it can be clearly seen that the players from the East do not understand thoroughly. champion's abilities because these champions are almost not used. As in this case, Doran Came back when he discovered that Nunu had snowballed, but did not know that Nunu's E move could also bind him.
Doran's situation at Worlds 2024 caused the community to ask Riot to “take action”
Of course, no player will be able to remember all the skills and passives of the huge number of champions in League of Legends. However, the fact that players repeatedly ban and pick certain champions is the real cause of boredom for the audience. Below the post, many comments suggested that Riot should urgently apply Fearless Draft to all professional tournaments in the League of Legends village as soon as possible. Last Summer, LPL was the first Major region to apply this format. And Tian of Top Esports is the player with the richest champion pool during the Fearless Draft application period, with 10 champions he has used.
– “This is why we need Fearless Draft at Worlds”
– “Reminds me that when Clid played in Gen.G, he didn't know that Lee Sin's Q2 move could kill the opponent even though it was his signature champion”
– “I think regardless of the region, not knowing the mechanics of a champion even if that champion is rarely used is unacceptable for a professional player. How can you play all day and get paid? money for that but don't know these things?”
Riot may apply Fearless Draft widely in the future. However, this also requires planning and applying this regime will cause teams and players to have to prepare a lot, and can be the “death point” of many players who are in very good form. good at present.
