After the rest of this announcement
Strategy Double item support is not required in botlane in League of Legends. Some shooters may benefit from this, either because they are very vulnerable early and the support item gives them some resistance and some healing, while allowing them to accumulate gold fairly quickly. This is an extremely popular strategy with Sena ADCs For example, but it remained quite insignificant. Apart from Sena, no ADC has done this thing willingly, and when they decided to do it, it was in very specific situations/match-ups. Only things changed in season 14.
Keep calm, buy a double supp item and stonk!
Ever since the ranking resumed, players have noticed it Changes in support objects were cracked. As a reminder, while before players had to choose between various support items, now there is only one basic item for support: Atlas. What is so strong about this substance is that Combines all the ways to earn gold from old Aadhaar items. It also provides the life (30 VP) as well 25% base regen for HP and Mana, plus 5 gold/10 seconds.
That said, it doesn’t sound incredible, but A good regen can turn complex lanes into much easier matchups. It’s not for nothing The Doran Shield + Second Wind combination is extremely popular on soloners When they face their champion. This combined with the regen item’s passive allows you to earn gold periodically by hitting opponents, largely compensating for poor farming in the early game. He can do it Also allow you to win your lane by focusing more on dueling than farming, because when the opposing ADC loses farming, the other two champions get gold by hitting him, they have idle gold, which means they don’t lose much in terms of resources. An ADC may have less gold than a full farming ADC, but if he manages to push enough, he will always have more gold than his direct opponent, which means he has won the lane.
This is the strategy Punishment is almost impossible, as both items quickly transform into ward items, giving enough vision to protect yourself from enemy mobs and hovering.. The initial counter to Double Atlas today is to go to Double Atlas. This combo remains the most interesting even in the mid/late game as it allows you to cover the map with wards, while eliminating your opponents thanks to scavengers.
Play like a loser
This will happen It’s easy to think that this strategy is just solo cue cheese, but even world champions apply it in important matches. During the opening BO3 of the opposition LCK General G. In T1, Gumayusi went to Atlas first thing When he was playing Lucian. This allowed him to negate Paige’s Aphelios while locking cards on the botlane. T1 won this match by just playing macros, gradually General G. On the gold curve shown above, We can clearly see that Lucian of Guma (in red) always had as much gold as Aphelios, despite the beginning of Atlas. Gumayusi certainly was Being able to solo the first turn helped somewhat, brings him a comfortable bonus, but the facts are there. This is even more impressive when you consider it Kenyon has played a lot around his duolane. It should still be noted that T1 had an 8k gold lead at the end of the meeting, but Guma and Paez were tied in terms of gold, Which suggests that if the match had continued, the trend would have been reversed.
To harass this strait, Riot Games made two decisions. is the first nerf bloodsong disabled, the final item in the Atlas created by the ADC. Instead of increasing the damage taken by the opponent by 12% (melee) and 8% (ranged), Bloodsong will increase it by 10 or 6%. In addition to these nerves, Atlas Passive Decreasing gold given by minions if Atlas wearer kills too many will now be a global passive. If a single player on a team exceeds this limit, all Atlas wearers on their team will suffer the consequences. It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to completely bury the strait.
