Chapter 358: First Experience with League of Legends

On this day, many people should have started their vacation, went home, and gone shopping.

Anyway, the update for the New Year had been done long ago, so they could only update on time.

Some people wanted to take their families on a long-lost trip, while others wanted to buy some New Year goods and a belated new set of clothes.

But they were all interrupted by this sudden change.

For a while, the studio was gloomy.

"It's really fucked up, I still want to take my girlfriend home for the New Year."

"Isn't it the same for me? I haven't been home for three years."

"Hush!"

The few people who were talking in a low voice looked up and saw Liu Hu's gloomy face, and they quickly lowered their heads and stopped talking.

They were all very entangled in their hearts.

Because Liu Hu looked so embarrassed, they felt a little refreshed, but they were also a little worried about the future of the project.

Yes, they all stayed to work overtime.

They only said that they would work overtime, but what exactly?

Now it's a mess.

Players are complaining about everything, and they all sound reasonable.

If everyone comes first, when will this be changed?

As for reversing the reputation?

There is no way to talk about it.

Now we should balance first, so that the balance of heroes and maps can be improved.

Or should we optimize the matching mechanism first, so that players will not know whether they will win or lose the game when they are in the game.

Or optimize the game mechanism to make the barrel effect of the game less obvious?

Liu Hu is now completely confused, and his lack of level and experience are undoubtedly exposed at this moment.

Obviously, a team is his own, and he has the final say. The headquarters also gave enough support.

But there is a feeling of being at a loss.

Until now, the root cause has not been found!

Why did the game take some avalanche posture after the large-scale release of test qualifications?

"I know, I know, now I know the problem, plus the slander of the peers who hired the water army, so the reputation of the game has declined to a certain extent. But please rest assured, there is absolutely no problem in strategy!"

After all the talk, it was almost dealt with.

But now, the problem is here again.

What to do!

Obviously, the design that was considered excellent before is now criticized as useless?

Sharing experience increases the importance of the team and paves the way for e-sports.

Cancel the economic system so that the game does not have a boring laning period, and directly start the team battle that players like most.

Multiple playable maps ensure that players will not get bored.

Select the hero in advance before entering the game to ensure that you can play the hero you want to play in a quick game without being targeted by the opponent.

This is obviously good? !

Why ! !

At this time, Liu Hu had an impulse to call Zhang Chengbo to learn from him.

When he worked at Naughty Cat before, he had never been confused about strategy or road direction.

Because he kept moving forward according to Lin Mo's route, he knew that it must be right, and as long as he was determined to execute it, he would reap a harvest sooner or later.

In the "Raiden Hero" project, he has now suffered the first Waterloo.

For a while, he doubted himself.

"No, Liu Hu, you can do it, you did nothing wrong!"

Take a deep breath to calm himself down.

He believes that even if the League of Legends is officially launched tomorrow, it will not be able to surpass the Raiden Hero in a short time.

There is still time.

I carefully thought about the points that players care about most.

Since the ladder has not been opened yet, all players can only play in the fast mode, which will magnify the shortcomings of this mechanism.

This is listed as a priority for rework.

The second is hero balance. We can only launch some patches to weaken heroes that are too IMBA.

Each hero has different performance on different maps.

The larger the map, the stronger the hero with average damage but fast support.

The faster the conflict, the harder it is for the core hero to play in the later stage.

One move affects the whole body, so we can only save lives first and then slowly change.

Finally, regarding the recent complaints of many old players, there is no way to win with only one new player in the team, the barrel effect is too obvious, and single players cannot carry and cannot lead the team in the hero game alone.

It’s a headache.

This is the most important design concept of the game, that is, team competitive games.

"Take your time."

He scratched his hair irritably and sighed.

Work.

A small county in the north.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"

"You're back, son? Let me see, the food is good, you've gained weight."

At home, Liu Wenbo hugged his parents one by one, put away his luggage, and chatted for a while.

Then

There was nothing to do.

I usually call home and talk about everything I should talk about.

This year's Spring Festival holiday is a long holiday, including the annual leave.

He has been busy in Zhonghai City for a long time. After two years, he went home for the New Year. Naturally, his parents would not let him do any housework.

My home is in a small county town, and there is no farm work.

No work to do, but nothing to do.

My girlfriend Lin Jia went home for the New Year this year. There was no computer at home, and there was nothing to do.

"Let's go to the Internet cafe?"

Thinking about it, I tentatively posted a message in the classmate group.

[Have all the brothers gone home this year? Do you want to go out and play?]

[I replied, I'm bored, where to go? ]

[I also replied, I arrived yesterday, let's get together? ]

I didn't expect that after saying this, there were quite a few people who responded.

I simply counted them, five people.

Liu Wenbo's heart moved.

Five people?

[Do you want to go to the Internet cafe? Play "Raiden Heroes"? Do you play this game?]

[Okay, let's go!]

[Whoever has the worst record will treat you tonight]

[Brothers, we haven't seen each other for so many years, we must get together]

[Let's go to the Internet Club? Yes, you heard it right, it's still open]

After waiting for the appointment in the group online, Liu Wenbo said goodbye to his parents and walked out of the house.

When they arrived at the Internet cafe, the other four people had already arrived.

There was a pack of cigarettes on the seat for smokers, and in addition, there was a bottle of water and a pack of wet wipes on each seat, highlighting their thoughtfulness.

"Wenbo, you are late, sit down! I went to Zhonghai City two months ago, but I was in a hurry and didn't go to see you."

"You are all working hard in big cities, I envy you."

"You civil servants may become leaders one day, and then we can count on you to lead us."

Several people talked and laughed about their recent situation while opening "Raiden Heroes".

Back then, they were the classmates who loved playing games in Internet cafes.

Now, many years have passed and the servers should be shut down, and there are not many games to play.

"This is my first time playing, please bear with me."

"Me too. But I heard that this game is quite fun, so it's a good time to play it during the holidays."

Liu Wenbo joked, "Don't worry, I'll take you to take off. I played it for a while when the server was just launched."

Soon, several people registered accounts and added friends.

Game, let's start!

Map Cursed Valley.

Tributes are refreshed regularly on this map. After grabbing three, the place will be cursed. At that time, the soldiers will have only a little health and the defense tower will not attack.

In addition to the old-fashioned mechanism, the key to winning the game is the operation of the soldier line and the selection of heroes.

Because the map is large and there are many narrow bushes, heroes who can open the map or have long displacement are more advantageous.

At the beginning of the game.

Liu Wenbo repeatedly warned: "You must remember that the level should be almost level 6 or 7 when the first wave of tributes refreshes in this map. You must pay attention to eating the line, otherwise it will be bad if the opponent upgrades during the team fight."

"Really? The class flower has given birth to a child? Oh, what a pity, this is Xiaobo's childhood goddess."

"By the way, Fatty, you are not still single, right? Is there no love in the second dimension?"

"Hey? Okay, okay, I will give you the plan tonight. Got it, I will definitely do it."

Liu Wenbo's mouth twitched.

Well, it seems that I have said so much in vain.

"Hey, did you hear me?"

"I heard it, don't worry, eat the line to maintain experience and drag the late stage to turn the tables."

Liu Wenbo nodded: "Okay, listen to my command, and take you to take off!"

The hero he chose in this game is Alien Assassin, a powerful late-stage assassin hero.

With multiple displacements, the upper limit of operation for both skills and ordinary attacks is very high, but the corresponding body is very fragile, and can kill people in seconds or be killed in seconds.

In the late stage, basically no one is a one-round enemy.

Enter the game, follow the usual rhythm, steal development, eat the line, and occupy the camp with the jungler.

However, Liu Wenbo was confused when he started playing.

"Hey, what are you doing in the top lane? Don't fight this meaningless fight, go to the middle lane to eat the line."

However, how could his teammates listen to him?

He really enjoyed the feeling of this happy fight, with a burst of laughter.

"Fuck, save me, save me!"

"The last knife, damn, he ran away."

"It's over, 1 for 2, a loss."

"Wenbo, why don't you come to the team, what's the use of eating the line, and you don't have money."

Liu Wenbo patiently explained: "In this game, experience is actually a manifestation of money. If you lag behind one level in experience at an important node, it is equivalent to lagging behind a large piece of equipment on the opponent."

"Okay, don't worry, I understand."

However, ten minutes later.

Looking at the level of 13:15, Liu Wenbo felt powerless.

He watched the BOSS summoned by the opponent with a curse and flattened his base.

In the last teamfight, his hands were almost broken.

Relying on his extremely high damage, he managed to replace two people in the crowd, but that was all.

A feeling of powerlessness came over me.

Obviously, the opponent's operational awareness was not as good as his, and they were far behind.

But relying on awareness, he managed to create a huge team advantage.

"I told you to remember to eat the line and listen to my command. The opponent is also five black, and they are obviously good at playing."

"Okay, okay, I know, I know, pay attention next time."

"Wenbo, I'm not saying anything bad about you, you are obviously bad in this game."

Liu Wenbo was silent for two seconds and widened his eyes.

"Ah?! Me?!"

I felt like vomiting blood.

Brothers, if it wasn't for me, I would have been flattened a long time ago, okay?

"Yeah, your hero is too fragile, and you can't support like the opponent, haven't you lost several times like this? You are said to be a late-game hero, but the damage in the late game seems to be just average."

Liu Wenbo felt tired and said sullenly: "Okay."

As if he could hear that he was in a bad mood, the atmosphere of the five-man team that was laughing and talking just now had some subtle changes.

The second game, Sky Palace.

The third game, Doomsday Tower.

The fourth game, Eternal Battlefield.

Lose, lose, lose.

After losing several games in a row, someone finally couldn't stand it.

"I say, you should pay more attention to your operation, the skill is too exaggerated."

"Damn, isn't it my advantage in the early stage of operation?"

"You can't just fight for the sake of fighting. The purpose of fighting is to get resources. Fighting alone is useless."

"Okay, okay, I got it."

The atmosphere changed obviously.

Liu Wenbo was a little unhappy.

No one is happy to lose the game, but the problem now is.

These old classmates don't know why they lost!

They had a big advantage in the early stage several times, but they couldn't beat them.

Without equipment and economy, they didn't know who was pitted and who carried, and where they lost.

Liu Wenbo knew where they lost, but his teammates didn't.

Moreover, he did have a good sense of operation, but this game can't be won by one person.

The barrel effect is too serious!

To win, you don't look at how good the best players on both sides are, but how bad the worst players are.

Originally, they were playing together well, laughing and talking, but the atmosphere became heavy.

No one was happy.

Several classmates who rarely played games were even less interested. They kept looking at the time, probably wondering whether they should play together.

Liu Wenbo was a little puzzled for a while.

I didn't feel anything when this game was first released, why is it so difficult to play now?

It's torture to play with new players.

Or, just change the game.

So he suggested: "Let's change the game, CSGO? Or "League of Legends"? Choose one."

A person nicknamed "Chili" suggested: "League of Legends, I'm sick of shooting games."

"Okay! Today is the first day of the PC version test."

The Internet cafe had already downloaded it.

Liu Wenbo has never played "League of Legends", but he often watches short videos, so he knows which heroes are stronger.

After the tutorial, he started the game.

According to the suggested division of lanes, the top lane is the lava monster Malphite (Stone Man), the middle lane is the dark lady Annie, and the bottom lane is the ice shooter Ashe plus the steam robot Blitzcrank.

Liu Wenbo chose to play as a jungler, and the hero he used was Master Yi, the infinite swordsman.

The three standard lanes and the distance between them are not short, so that teammates finally stopped running around and focused on the line.

Last hit, fight with the opponent's hero.

"Wenbo, are you okay? Come on, I can't hold on any longer!"

The Stoneman on the top lane screamed and called for support first.

The enemy didn't follow the official recommendation for the position division, and there were two people on the top lane.

The Stoneman was one against two, and he was beaten to low health in just the time it took to replenish a soldier.

Luckily, there was a defensive tower that hurt people, otherwise he would have died.

"Here we go, hold on!"

A punishment instantly killed the last bit of blood of the Crimson Mark Tree Monster, and obtained a red BUFF, which had the effect of sucking blood a little bit, plus slowing down and some incidental damage.

Then he rushed to the top lane without stopping.

At this time, the soldiers entered the tower, and seeing the opportunity, the enemy's Demacia Prince Jarvan IV and the Weapon Master Jax rushed up without hesitation, wanting to kill the enemy, regardless of whether the defensive tower would kill him.

Just do it!

The Stoneman is a hero who is extremely vulnerable to big moves. If he doesn't resist in the early stage when he is low on blood, he will be dead.

But the Sword Master rushed over immediately with sprint, not in a hurry to use skills, and slashed at the prince who had used skills, and killed him directly with the damage of the defense tower, without even using flash.

After flashing, the Master of Arms used the E skill to counter the storm and escape, trying to escape.

But in Liu Wenbo's eyes, this was the last chance of survival.

Not in a hurry to approach, wait until the effect of the E skill is over, and then press the Q skill to deal damage while approaching the Master of Arms, using the E skill to increase attack, one knife, two knives, three knives.

Double Kill!

The two level 1 heroes of the opponent had no room for resistance.

A steady and powerful voice was broadcast.

"Why are you level 2?!"

Liu Wenbo smiled slightly: "This is not a thunder hero, I am a jungler, and the opponent has two people sharing experience. Isn't it normal for me to be ahead?"

He killed a few more groups of wild monsters, saved enough money, and went home to replenish equipment.

Just as he walked to the jungle below, he heard the bad news.

The duo in the bottom lane, which had a powerful support from Robot, was killed.

Like a firefighter, Liu Wenbo immediately rushed to the bottom lane.

"Hey, run, you want to fight two people alone?"

"Don't be impulsive, wait for the two of us to revive. Eh? Ah?"

The bottom lane duo was confused.

The combination of ADC Explorer Ezreal (EZ) and Star Child Soraka, saw the Swordmaster and went up without hesitation.

However, the damage of the Swordmaster obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

At this time, the Swordmaster went home to replenish his equipment, replenished so many wild monsters, and killed two more heads, one of which was the first blood.

There was a brutal force on his body!

One against two was not at a disadvantage, especially the duo who had not replenished their equipment.

The 40-meter-long sword fell, and the nurse Soraka, who was replenishing EZ's blood, was the first to die.

When EZ felt something was wrong, it was too late, and his blood volume was already very low.

He quickly threw the E skill and flash used for displacement and ran back to the tower.

However, Liu Wenbo still used the same trick.

Q was saved for the end to deal damage and get close to the target!

The skill was used, and two slashes were made.

Another kill, got it!

However, the Sword Saint was also at low health at this time, and obviously could not withstand the last attack.

The four players in the bottom lane of both sides focused their eyes on Juggernaut nervously.

However, at the moment when the damage from the defense tower was dealt, a green light appeared on Juggernaut's body.

W skill meditation, reducing damage while recovering health.

Just didn't die!

Taking advantage of the gap between the defense tower's attacks, he had already walked out of the tower's range.

"Fuck, awesome, there is still this trick? This hero is strong, I want to play it next time!"

"Damn, I didn't see that you are so good at playing? This generation is taking off!"

"Have you synthesized this equipment once? The clockwork spirit on the opposite side of me only has a pair of shoes."

"I will beat whoever you need me to beat in a team fight."

Listening to the praise from his teammates, Liu Wenbo, who had been depressed all afternoon, finally grinned.

Damn, this is the right way to play the game. (End of this chapter)
