Perhaps many viewers watching Faker from the legendary days of the newly debuted League of Legends will not be strange to his superior skills. In particular, Faker always researched and practiced very carefully each general and he himself has used 75 generals (as of March 2023) out of 175 generals who are participating in the League of Legends. In addition, the League of Legends community also spread a lot of information that there were generals that made Riot “Nerf” emergency after Faker used and turned them into “unmatched” in the rank or in the professional arena.
Faker used to be considered “saint Nerf general”
Recently, Faker also had experiments ahead of the new season with the new general Hwei. As is known, inherently knowledge of League of Legends, Faker is not difficult to recognize the main elements of General Hwei. According to Faker analyzed, Hwei has many skills, but are skills with certain similarities with the generals who have long participated in League of Legends, such as Brand or Volibear. Therefore, according to Faker, the new general has many skills but the reality is not too difficult to play.
He said Hwei is not too difficult to play
Perhaps it was because Faker spoke up, so recently, Riot August – Head of the Design Department of League of Legends said: “If you keep wondering why Hwei looks weaker than usual and does not receive any increase. Of course, this is just a joke of the LoL designer, but it is also evoking the period when Faker is also called by the audience as “St. Nerf General” when any general in his hands becomes strong.
Riot August shared the reason why Hwei has not been buffed because Faker
Moreover, at the present time, the new general Hwei has not had any professional matches. Therefore, to determine whether a champion really needs to increase – decrease strength or not, Riot will need to observe the effectiveness of that champion in higher -class environments than just rating. And the edits for Hwei may only come if Riot observes and evaluates that champion really needs to be edited. For example, K'Sante also has to go through countless new matches to start appropriate edits.
But perhaps Riot wants to observe Hwei's effectiveness in professional matches
As for Faker, the new season is approaching. And most likely, Faker will have HWEI matches for the middle lane when he himself has shown the effect of the new champion after experience in the rank or at training.
