League of Legends on jälleen päivittymässä. Tänään Pohjois-Amerikan pelipalvelimille saapunut The Shadow Isles -päivitys saapuu Euroopan puolelle ensi yön aikana. Päivityksen lisäksi viikkokatsaus sisältää huimat World Championshippien katsojaluvut, season 2 -palkinnot ja paljon muuta! Pidemmittä puheitta, tässä tulee viikkokatsaus:
The Shadow Isles -päivitys:
Isoimpana asiana päivityksessä on tietenkin Twisted Treelinen remake, jonka muutokset listasimme jo viime viikon viikkokatsauksessa. Uuden kartan luvataan mahdollistavan uudenlaisia tiimikokoonpanoja, parantavan jungleemista, lyhentävän pelin pituutta ja lisäävän neutraaleja päämääriä. Mietiskelyt niiden muutosten takana löydät täältä.
The shadow islesin lisäksi päivitys muokkasi pelin tasapainoa isolla kädellä, kun monet suosituimmista championeista joutuivat nerf-vasaran alle. Yksi isoimmista muutoksista on varmasti Ezrealin Essence Fluxin muutos, kun sen auto-attackien hidastava komponentti otettiin kokonaan pois. Tavaroista isoimman nerffin sai Deathfire Grasp, joka ei päivityksen jälkeen enää anna cooldown reductionia, samalla kun sen activeä ja Ability Power ratioo heikennettiin.
Balanssimuutosten lisäksi peliin tehtiin pieniä parannuksia. Yksi näistä on latausruudussa ja joidenkin pelien alussa näytettävät ohjeet ja vinkit. Vinkit kehoittavat pelaajia mm. seuraamaan Summoners Codea paremmin. Pelimekaniikoiden puolelta muutoksia sai Dragonin aiheuttava burning-passive, joka ei vastaisuudessa keskeytä recallia.

Palkinnot ovat enimmäkseen ikoneita tai erilaisia reunuksia, mutta kulta-ansiomerkin tai parempien ansainneet pelaajat saavat lisäksi myös War Hero Janna-skinin. Palkinot jaetaan ns. Top Ratingin mukaan, joten jos olet jo kertaalleen saavuttanut kulta-rajan, niin palkinto tulee myös sen mukaisesti, vaikka tippuisit siitä ennen seasonin loppua pois. Näinollen palkintojen takia pelaamatta jättäminen ei kannata.

Season 2 World Championship
eSportsin puolella palataan vielä kerran mahtaviin World Championshippeihin, kun Riot Games julkisti tapahtuman avainlukuja. Luvut ovatkin massiivisia ja näiden avulla finaalitapahtuma onkin ainakin yksi massiivisimmista eSports -tapahtumista koskaan. Paikanpäälle ahtautui yli 8000 fania, kun streamin ja television kautta saavutettiin yli 8,2 miljoonaa katsojaa. Parhaimmillaan streamin katsojamäärä nousi jopa 1 154 000 samanaikaiseen katsojaan.
Muutoksia CLG.NA:n miehityksessä
World Championshipeissä jo lohkovaiheessa tippunut CLG.Prime on vaihtanut kokoonpanoaan. Pihalle joukkueesta lähtee top lanella pelannut Voyboy ja tilalle tulee supporttia pelaava Locodoco. Aikaisemmin supporttia CLG.NA:ssa pelannut Chauster vaihtaa pelipaikakseen junglen ja aikaisemmin junglessa pelannut hotshotGG palaa takaisin top-lanelle. Kun vaihdos julkistettiin, Voyboy ja CLG.NA kiirehtivät kommentoimaan, että päätös oli joukkueen yhteinen, mutta myöhemmin paljastuikin hieman siitä risteäviä lausuntoja, joidenka mukaan Voyboylle oltiin vain tultu sanomaan, että hänet on siirretty joukkueen vaihtopenkille, eikä neuvotteluvaraa ole. CLG.Primen kokoonpano näyttää siis seuraavanlaiselta:
[AD-Carry] Peter "Doublelift" Peng
[Support] Choi "Locodoco" Yoon-sub
[Jungle] Steve "Chauster" Chau
[AP-Carry] Michael "bigfatlp" Tang
[Top Lane] George "HotshotGG" Georgallidis
Taipei Assassins lisää 2 pelaajaa
Viimeistään Season 2 World Championshipit voitettuaan Taipei Assassins nousi myös vähemmän skeneä seuraavien tietoisuuteen. Jo valmiiksi 7 miehinen kokoonpano paisui yhdeksän miehiseksi, kun GodJJ, sekä Zonda liittyivät joukkueen. Molemmat pelaajat liittyivät joukkueen varamiehistöön. Lisäysten jälkeen Taipei Assassineiden kokoonpano näyttääkin seuraavanlaiselta:
[Top Lane] Wang "Stanley" June Tsan
[Jungle] Alex "Lilballz" Sung
[AP-Carry] Kurtis "Toyz" Lau
[AD-Carry] Cheng "bebeisadog" Bo Wei
[Support] Chen "MiSTakE" Hui Chung
