Chapter 318 New Version, Qualifying

This video of only more than 4 minutes made everyone feel shocked and inexplicable, and they have not recovered for a long time.

"What the hell? Such a high-definition CG?"

"Awesome!"

"There are several heroes here, card master, Annie, Garen, Barbarian King? But how many do you not know?"

"Is it a new hero?"

"It's amazing, hurry up and check out the updated content of the new version!"

"It's coming up in a flash!"

"After all, Thunder Film Studio, the basic operations, sit down."

Compared with "Warcraft" and "Diablo", the CG animation of "League of Legends" takes a completely different route in terms of content.

A Blizzard-based CG like "Warcraft" attaches great importance to the content of the plot. It often intercepts the key nodes of a famous event, and uses highly concentrated content to show the essence of the plot. Every line is worth pondering over and over again.

However, "League of Legends" uses multi-hero melee as the main CG content, ignoring the rationality of the plot to a certain extent.

Because this kind of MOBA game first considers the diversity and balance of heroes, the development of new heroes is mainly to enrich the game mechanics, not to fill the plot.

At the same time, these heroes are all protagonists, and they have different personalities. If they are all packed into one plot structure, it is actually difficult for the plot to be very good.

Therefore, although "League of Legends" has continued to release the League of Legends universe and enrich the world view, players' recognition of Valoran continent has always been slightly weaker than that of Azeroth.

Of course, this is mainly the limitation of the game type itself.

Although the CG of "League of Legends" has no plot, it shows the hero's characteristics and game characteristics very well, so as a means of promotion, this CG is enough to make players addicted to watching.

...

The main updates of the new version of "League of Legends" are as follows.

The first is the addition of game CG. This CG was released in S3 in Chen Mo's previous life, and it is called "Reversal of Fate". I chose this set of CGs as the opening CG of "League of Legends" mainly because the heroes in it are more in line with the initial version of the heroes planned by Chen Mo. The cards, Garen, Barbarian King, Annie, etc., are all heroes that have already been launched. , already has a certain influence in the player group.

Next is the new hero.

This version update has updated a total of five new heroes, one for each position, namely: Wandering Mage Ryze, Doom Messenger (Scarecrow), Katarina, Goddess of War Sivir (Wheel Mother), Wind Girl.

Among them, the wandering mage Ryze should be regarded as a mid lane hero in a strict sense, and there are also cases where it is used to play the top lane, but it is relatively rare.

(Of course, the old version of Ryze was a popular order in S4, and also completed the 3:0 achievement of the Korean team in the hands of gogoing.)

This version was released mainly because Ryze and Katarina are both very old-fashioned and classic characters, and they have a relatively full role in CG, so they were released together.

However, on Ryze's label, Chen Mo also checked the top and middle labels for players to choose freely.

Both Ryze and Katarina have undergone rework. Before the rework, they were novice heroes. After the rework, the mechanics became more complicated. Chen Mo still continued the previous design ideas and did it directly according to the new version of the skills.

Although the old version of Ryze's spell machine gun and the old version of Katerina's face-scrolling keyboard are more fun, but after all, it is not good to balance, the value is too high, the value is too low, and the gameplay is not rich enough.

Chen Mo thought that if there is a chance in the future, he can put these historical version heroes into a single wild mode, and they will not be updated in the official server for the time being.

In this way, all the heroes in the CG appear, except for the eternal nightmare.

Nightmare is also a jungler position, which is somewhat repetitive with the Scarecrow, so it is left for the development of the next version, which is equivalent to giving players some suspense.

In addition to CG and new heroes, there is also a very important update: open the ranked mode.

In fact, players have been waiting for this mode for a long time.

In "Warcraft", Chen Mo has established a very complete ranking mechanism, and ranking points have become the most important yardstick to measure the player's level.

Many veteran players of "Warcraft" are very aware of the significance of this ranking mechanism to the game itself, so everyone knows that "League of Legends" will open a ranking system sooner or later.

It just opened earlier than everyone thought.

In fact, it is still a little early to start qualifying, because "League of Legends" currently only has 30 heroes. In the draft mode, both sides have banned places, and the selection of heroes cannot be repeated. The depth of 30 heroes is slightly insufficient.

Chen Mo's consideration is to let the players find a clear route as soon as possible, so that the masters can get out of the fish pond as soon as possible, so that the game can get on the right track faster, so he still turned on the ranking system. .

However, considering that there are only 30 heroes at present, the 10ban mode is a bit too brutal. For the time being, the 6ban mode is still adopted, that is, the blue side will be banned first, and the blue and purple sides will have three banned places.

The new qualifying system has also aroused heated discussions among players.

On the official forum of "League of Legends", an enthusiastic player posted a post to analyze the content of this version update. After briefly analyzing the pros and cons of several new heroes, he deliberately spent a lot of space to interpret this new ranked mode.

“I think the most exciting thing about this update is the qualifying mode. If CG is the face and new heroes are the rich game content, then the qualifying mode is equivalent to giving the soul of League of Legends.”

"Those who have played "Warcraft" know what I mean. Playing the ladder and playing passers-by are two completely different game experiences. Under the stimulation of the ranking points, the various routines of this game will be constantly If it is developed, it will further stimulate the increase in popularity.”

"Moreover, if you carefully interpret the ranking rules, you will find that this time, "League of Legends" adopts a more complete ranking mechanism than "Warcraft"."

"In the new draft mode, players can disable heroes, which is a test for each player's hero pool, and to a certain extent avoids the appearance of duplicate lineups."

"The design of the big rank from bronze to king, on the surface, it looks like a change in the wording, but in fact it gives a very intuitive image of 'dan rank', it is no longer a dry score."

"Furthermore, with the addition of concepts such as promotion tournaments, small rank, large rank, etc., this ranking system has become more abundant, and it is also more conducive to eliminating the factor of luck and showing a player's true level."

"It is conceivable that when someone asked you what rank you were before, if you answered 3,000 points, he would have no idea. What level is this? But if you answer gold, diamond or king, the concept will become very clear."

"Of course, the most important thing is that it satisfies my need to pretend, don't stop me, I'm going to play the king in the ranking!"
