Global BP
This year, Riot created a new Vanguard event in March, and to that end, the first stage of all regions was turned into a global BP mode. From January to March, we have seen Bo5 play a total of 50 heroes from multiple regions around the world. Compared with the traditional BP of the past, the new model has higher requirements for the hero pool of professional players, counting the hero pool of friends and enemies, players in each position must be able to take out at least 10 or more heroes, although you can only get 5 in the end, but considering the setting that everyone can only use once, it has invisibly become a shackle that limits the hero pool. We have also seen more than once that some players have been cornered, come up with their unskilled heroes, and finally be crushed by their opponents.
Valid for Stage 1 only
This new mode also allows the audience to say goodbye to the past few popular heroes, I play after you play, I will ban it after you disable, and the bad viewing experience of copying and pasting several sets of lineups back and forth. However, the global BP is currently only available for Stage 1 and Vanguard. Stage 2 and Mid-Season, Stage 3 and World Finals, will return to the traditional BP of the past. This is also a pity for many people, because it is going back to the situation of those versions of popular heroes going back and forth BP.
Why not use global BPs all?
First of all, Riot doesn't know how effective this new mode of World Championship is, although the reaction from the first stage of each major region is very good, but after all, it has been 15 years before the global BP is activated, so for the time being, I just want to add a separate global BP stage, and all aspects will get used to it first. The Mid-Season and World Finals are still the same as the old and more secure model. Even the double defeat is still only used in MSI, and the World Finals are still the same as before. If the first stage has the best effect after the end of the entire S15 season, then it is not impossible to enable all global BPs in the future.
Which is better, global BP or traditional BP?
The audience naturally prefers the global BP, because you don't have to watch a few popular heroes, you play after you finish playing, and it's very boring to go back and forth with a few sets of lineups. This year, there are too many strange heroes in the 5 divisions, and there are also many heroes, and even the data that has been silent for more than ten years has been broken, and there are those who appear again after more than 3,000 days. Pros and coaching staff may prefer traditional BP because you don't have to practice too many heroes, just grab a few popular versions and play them all the time. Especially the coaching staff, the preparation of the global BP is probably more than ten times that of the past, and without a salary increase, it must be simpler. This year's global BP not only makes many slacker players have nothing to hide, but also shows the original form of many coaches who really only copy popular BP homework and order takeout.
Of course, we are more supportive of global BP, and even though the update rate of new heroes in League of Legends has been much slower in recent years, there are too many heroes who can hardly be seen in the professional arena. Giving BP more variety, more hero choices, and more reserve stunts is still quite important for an esports game that is considered to be declining in popularity every year.
