As we all know, the names of heroes in League of Legends can be composed of names and titles. Titles often represent the characteristics or skills of the hero, such as "Trickster Demon" "Leblanc", the original meaning of "Leblanc" is the trickster; in addition to the above-mentioned titles, players often also give "nicknames" based on the hero's characteristics, such as "Jinfu" and "Jin Fu" that caused a lot of commotion not long ago. "Japanese girl" incident. Since then, officials have explicitly prohibited commentators or professional players from calling these two heroes this way.
On April 28, when the League of Legends test server was updated today, suddenly the names of some heroes were secretly changed, namely Male Gun, Crocodile, Ekko, Rat, and Mantis. The names of the seven heroes, Fire Man and Draven, may be too bloody or villainous, so they have been harmonized by the official.
Male Gun, Outlaw Outlaw changed his name to Gunman Crazy
To be honest, the change of the title of Male Gun is not surprising at all. The name "Outlaw Outlaw" is actually That's too crazy. You are called an "outlaw maniac." In this society governed by the rule of law, what do you want to do?
Ike
Ike changed from a time assassin to a time wizard. Maybe the main problem lies in the word "assassin". In fact, assassins are not that big of a deal, and the word "wizard" has been spoiled by netizens. Words like "wisdom, crouching dragon, phoenix chick, genius" all feel tame. It's better to call him a time geek, just like the player joked "Jing Ke stabbed Qin, the King of Qin walked around the pillar, shouting: There are wizards, there are wizards"
The fire man changed from the revenge flame soul to the heart-burning flame soul, Draven has also changed from the Honor Executioner to the Honor Punisher, and Kha'Zix has changed from the Void Predator to the Void Predator. These three heroes have also been harmonized to the normal public by mainly using the names of the original villains.
Among them, Xiao Wen thinks that the change to Rat’s “Source of Plague” is quite reasonable. In last year’s MSC game, SKT’s top laner selected Rat for 7 seconds, secretly mocking him and causing caused huge controversy. And if the word "plague" is very vicious in the eyes of Chinese people, and "source of plague" is too popular in other games, it is also very appropriate to change it to "miasma rat".
The top laner Crocodile also had Desert Butcher instead of Desert Wild Sand (Xiao Wen bets that even now many people think Crocodile is called Desert Butcher). Maybe the word "Butcher" is too bloody. The design The artist thought of changing it to "Desert Wild Sand", but it doesn't match the crocodile's line "Who is the next piece of meat on the original version" at all, and it lacks a kind of domineeringness.
It is said that this name change may be to unify the names of LOL mobile games. Mobile games are relatively strict in various review, so some players speculate whether "kill" will also be changed in the future. Well, it is estimated that the five kills will directly become the "five consecutive unparalleled" in the future.
