Version 13.2 has arrived and Korean rank is always an ideal place for us to learn new gameplay, combination of champions and equipment.
In just a few hours, version 13.2 will officially launch servers around the world. Prominent among them is a comprehensive buff for the marksman group, changes to the Total Lifesteal of gladiator items and many other interesting changes. So what combinations of champions and equipment are storming the Korean server, let’s understand.
Jax + Hourglass Zhonya
Jax, after a re-work of all the visuals and effects of a few moves, this gladiator champion is really dominating the top lane with a pick rate of nearly 40%. And in addition to the usual way of building equipment with the God-Slaying Hammer, the Sword of Death, the Dance of Death, the Ice Heart… the Zhonya Hourglass is the choice of many players at the Korean server.
This style of play is somewhat created by professional players when they often have to go deep into combat with the WE skill that interacts well with the AP stats. With Hourglass as the second item after Godslayer Hammer, Jax can deal as much damage as Sword of Doom. The stats of resistance, AP, skill cooldown and especially “Golden” will give Jax more time to drag in the fight waiting for important moves like E – Counterattack and Q – Jump and bounce back. .
Singed + Staff of Longevity
We often know Singed as a champion capable of dealing burn damage by dropping poison all over the map. That makes this champion will prioritize the ability to deal damage with maximum auxiliary equipment for burning damage. However, for Korean gamers, instead of the Liandry Mask of Sorrow, the Scepter of Life is the preferred equipment with mana, AP and a lot of health. All of these are important stats for Singed and contribute to a win rate of over 54% for this champion in the mid lane.
Talon + Elemental Wheel
Assassin champions have almost completely disappeared in the current meta after the recent changes towards tanks, gladiators, marksmen, and even mages. It’s too difficult to use assassins effectively and Riot Games is still looking for a way for this group of champions to somehow return to the meta. One of those moves is buffing Elemental Wheel, an item that increases its ultimate cooldown every time the player engages in the process of taking down an enemy by dealing damage.
This has helped an assassin champion return to the mid lane extremely strong recently, even more appreciated than Kassadin, which is Talon. Talon will prioritize Dark Claw and then the increased lethality elemental wheel to assassinate enemies as quickly as possible.
Zoe + Magic Glasses
Also in version 13.1, the Magic Eyepiece is also an item that gets a boost after being forgotten by most League of Legends players. Specifically, Aiming has been increased AP from 85
For Korean players, Zoe Magic Aiming Glass is also a strong choice used by many players. The amount of damage when poked from a distance is not inferior to that of the player owning the Witch Hat.
Ezreal + Bow of Wind Spirit
With the buff of the Soul Scythe, it really becomes a strong item for Ezreal in the current version. And after a while of searching for Mythological equipment suitable for Ezreal from Night Sword, Nguyet Knife to Water Monster Hook, Cung Phong Linh is an interesting choice chosen by many Korean players.
In some recent matches, Deft also used this equipment combo and also achieved victories. The strength of this playstyle is that Ezreal will have an additional tool to stack damage and retreat. With Wind Spirit Bow, Arcane Teleport and Flash, enemies who want to defeat Ezreal will also have to spend a lot of effort and time. An indispensable item to maximize the power of this game is the Navori Shortcut.
Karma + Torch of Holy Light
Finally we have the Holy Light Torch Karma combo and this will be either top or mid lane Karma. This style of play was popular on the Korean server for a while before being brought into professional matches by many players like BDD at KT, BrokenBlade at G2. The strength of this gameplay comes from the fact that Karma’s ultimate and Holy Light’s passive have a similar cooldown. And every time you activate the ultimate Mantra, Karma will increase health as well as maximum support for teammates with the ability to heal and a lot of skill recovery points.
