The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 471 469. What is this called?

  Qiu Xin is now the main person in charge of Xishanju and the vice president of Jinshan Company. He has a sharper sense of smell.

  It's just that he hasn't thought about it very clearly yet, because the pace of development of things has changed so fast that it has exceeded his expectations.

  The people of Jinshan, or the entire game circle, seem to be pushed forward by an invisible big hand, always failing to keep up with the times.

  In general, all of this was caused by Cao Yang.

   "I have a feeling..."

Qiu Xin thought about it and said, "The game seems to be entering an era of discontinuous fragmentation. In the future, games like World of Warcraft and Jianwang III that occupy players' time on a large scale will likely be pulled from the mainstream. Come down."

  "What does that mean?" Huang Kai asked puzzledly.

   "Hmm..." Qiu Xin thought for a long time, but did not think of a very accurate word to summarize.

  It happened at this time that one of the colleagues’ cell phone rang, and it turned out that the takeaway arrived.

  Unknowingly, this meeting has been open for several hours, and it feels like a few minutes have passed.

  Look at the time it is already 7 o'clock in the evening.

  At the moment he received the takeaway call, an electric light flashed in Qiu Xin's brain.

  He said excitedly--

  "Fast Food Era."

   "Coming soon."

  ……

   "Huh? Do another dota competitive game?"

  In the meeting room on the 39th floor of Bomi, everyone was surprised when they heard the new ideas elaborated by Cao Yang.

  Because Cao Yang said he would make a new dota type game called "League of Legends".

  Li Lanyun and Meng Xiao, as well as the ice frogs who can understand some Mandarin, all have incredible expressions on their faces.

  Because it has only been 2 months since the remake of dota was launched, it is now at the peak of the day, and there is no need to develop a new game to replace it.

   "moba." Cao Yang corrected it.

The concept of   moba has also been fired up recently, and it is still Cao Yang's own statement used in the company.

  MOBA, full English name: MultiplayerOnlineBattleArena, abbreviation: MOBA, Chinese translation: multiplayer online tactical competitive game.

  In fact, this English explanation is quite broad, because according to this explanation, games similar to CS or previous Overwatch and later battle royale games can be counted as this category.

  However, because moba’s main masterpieces are 5v5 multiplayer competitive games such as dota and LOL, it has become more specialized over time, and the scope of it is narrower.

  Cao Yang communicated the concept of MOBA within the company, which is used to specifically refer to dota-type multiplayer competitive games.

  In fact, quoting MOBA is to pave the way for the future.

  ……

   "But boss, isn't Dota developing very well now? The number of players is also growing wildly, and the future market is promising."

  Meng Xiao said somewhat innocently.

  He didn't dare to look into the eyes of the boss, mainly because although there are a large number of players in Dota, they have not made a lot of money, and even lose money every month.

  The plan for selling skins was made by the boss, and now shouldn’t dota be cut just because there is no profit in a short period of time, right?

  In the long run, Meng Xiao is still very optimistic about Dota.

  Li Lanyun also feels that as the number of players in dota games continues to grow in the future, it will be a matter of time to make money.

   Is it a bit too arbitrary to cut off Dota and want to do something again in League of Legends?

"Yes." Li Lanyun also helped to say something nice, "Boss, should we wait and see? I see the data of the last two months, the number of dota users has grown very fast, maybe there will be a few more months. It will be able to break through 50 million. Even if the pay rate of the game is not high enough, a lot of money can be made if the base is large enough."

  After all, when the game of dota was commercialized, it was the boss who insisted on doing fair competition, so only skins were sold.

  A few people are now aggrieved and dare not say anything.

  Everyone exchanged pitiful little eyes, thinking that if the income is not good now, isn’t it your boss?

  But it's not right.

  Since the dota model cannot make money, why does the boss open a new dota type, oh no, is it a MOBA type game?

  ……

Cao Yang calmly replied, "I didn't say that I would cut off the current Dota. I mean to open a new project for League of Legends. The main purpose of this game is to open up new markets and also for the future moba2. The .0 era is foreshadowing."

"what?!"

   "moba2.0?"

  Fuck!

  The boss is crazy, right?

  Now even moba1.0 has not been done well, and it is still in the early stage of dota development, you are about to start moba2.0?

  What is this called?

  It is equivalent to you just smashed a country, and your **** is not hot yet, and you say that you want to lift your own country, and then start a new one.

  Isn’t this enough for you to eat?

  And how did the boss know that this new moba 2.0 must be better than the current dota?

  Why didn't you just do moba2.0 in one step?

  ……

  "I think the current trend of dota is quite good, and it is still in the developmental stage. Generally, it is necessary to wait for at least this type of game to enter the decline period to make a new iterative game?"

  Meng Xiao didn't dare to speak, Li Lanyun helped him.

  As the head of the game department, Li Lanyun sometimes feels that the boss seems very nervous.

  Cao Yang himself actually struggled for a long time.

  What is this called?

  This is called self-revolution.

  Any type of online game, there will only be one overlord of the same type. This overlord may take away 50% or even 70% to 90% of the market share, and the rest are those who miss out and drink soup.

  Now that Bomi has a moba overlord like dota, why do you want to make a League of Legends?

  Cao Yang himself thought about this for a long time.

  Finally, I considered the current point in time and the general situation in the future. Whether it is from technology or the market, a League of Legends should be made.

  ……

   "We don't do it, it doesn't mean that no one will do it." Cao Yang frowned and said, "Maybe someone is already doing related moba 2.0 games?"

  League of Legends game has too many original places.

For example, League of Legends canceled denials, players can no longer use frequent make-ups, which greatly reduces the learning threshold for players, and also allows players to focus more on laning and fighting with heroes. .

   Then, some very important changes have been made in the hero:

  First, each hero has more active skills, and the CD of each skill is much shorter than that of Dota.

The advantage of this is that players can release skills more frequently when operating heroes, and use skills to supplement, consume and fight. The combo effect of a set of skills is compared with only one or two active skills in dota. Appreciation should be enhanced a lot.

  Second, it is precisely because each hero has more active skills. Almost every hero has more than 4 active skills, so that the weight of each skill will not be too high, and the fault tolerance rate will be greatly increased.

  This point is very prominent in Dota. For example, if one of your lion jabs does not hit anyone, then you will almost only have to escape for a long time.

  If the wandering hammer goes out and is evaded, then the wandering has no means to keep people.

  This is because the number of active skills of each hero in dota is too small, which causes the weight of these active skills to be too high, so when the skills are emptied, the consequences are very serious.

  In the League of Legends, if you emptied a Q, the problem is not too big. You can play it again in 3 or 5 seconds.

  This greatly increases the number of skill shots of the players, and the game between the two parties will become more enjoyable.

   Third, in League of Legends, the debuff has been greatly weakened compared to Dota. For example, in Dota, a halo of Chaos Knight can stun for 2 to 4 seconds, and many people have the ability to control it for more than 2 seconds.

   During these 2 seconds or longer, the stunned player cannot do anything, so the negative feeling is very poor.

  In the League of Legends, the more negative effect is slowing down instead of stun. Even if there is stun, then the stun time will not be very long, even if it is a big move, the stun time is 2 seconds.

The biggest advantage of this is that it greatly weakens the negative experience of the controlled person, because even if the slowdown is encountered, I can still perform operations and even rely on my own operations to perform anti-killing, rather than dota, as long as I am stunned. Then you can leave the keyboard and even be accused to death.

  When the negative effects are weakened, it is more friendly to novices.

The experience of new players in League of Legends is obviously better than that of dota's new players, because you will not be stunned to death, at least you will feel that fate is still in your own hands, and you can also make it when the opponent slows down. Certain reactions, even if sometimes these reactions are useless.

   But the players fully enjoy the autonomy, this is where the League of Legends does well.

  Fourth, League of Legends removed the setting of eating trees and planting trees in Dota.

In Dota, the tree is a very important strategic setting, because the tree not only has the function of blocking the player’s advancement, but also affects the player’s field of vision. A master player can gain a huge advantage by eating and circling the tree. One point, although the depth of the game is improved, the barriers to getting started are very high for players, which is extremely unfriendly.

  So League of Legends removed this thing.

  In order to make up for the lack of change in the dimension of vision by removing the tree, League of Legends has added a new thing——

Grass.

  Grass is relatively easier to understand, and the rules are also very simple. As long as you hide in the grass, the opponent will not be able to see you when standing outside.

  Fifth, the support position in League of Legends is more important and more useful than the support in dota. The support in dota does not need to consider its own financial problems at all. It requires complete dedication, and even requires 2 support to sacrifice themselves to save the big brother.

  Such assistance is actually not so good for players’ feelings.

  And the support in League of Legends also needs to be developed. The role of support is no less than that of the jungler. In addition to protecting the ADC, it can also act as a very important charge and first-hand role when necessary.

  These are all due to changes in the overall structure of the skill mechanism.

Sixth, the map size of the League of Legends has been greatly reduced compared with dota, and the map size has been reduced. This is the control of the duration of the entire game, so the time for a League of Legends is about 20 to 30 minutes. About, it is reduced by at least 1/3 compared to dota.

  The game process is accelerated, the rhythm is more compact, and the hero skills are greatly enriched. Players can get more fun and value in the game. This is where League of Legends does better than Dota.

  And as Cao Yang himself said, even if they don’t do it, it doesn’t mean that others don’t. The development of many things follows certain objective laws. Now that the Dota game is so popular, it does not mean that Dota does not have its own insurmountable shortcomings.

  Since there are shortcomings, naturally there will be related fans who want to make up for it, and then improve and give birth to a new moba game.

  This new moba game may not necessarily be called League of Legends, and it does not necessarily have Galen, Jinx...that series of impressive and distinctive heroes.

  But this game will definitely exist.

  Maybe it will be launched in the next 2 to 5 years.

  The game industry also has its own Darwinian theory of evolution. The evolved game will inevitably replace the previous parent, and then be replaced by a new evolutionary again.

  This is how the game changes.

  Of course, some excellent genes will be retained and then mutated, or combined with other genes to produce even better individuals.

  ……

  Cao Yang said he smiled calmly, and then took the marker on the whiteboard and told everyone all the details just now.

   mainly started from the defects of the current dota and the discomfort of the player experience, and then explained in detail how the new [League of Legends] should be designed.

  After Cao Yang popularized these new constructive ideas with everyone, the participants in the entire conference room fell silent.

   "emmm..." The ice frog frowned and nodded from time to time.

  As the creator of dota, he still very much agrees with Cao Yang's statement.

   Boss Cao really wakes up the dreamer with just one word.

  I didn’t expect that Boss Cao doesn’t seem to play Dota very much, but he has already studied it so deeply.

   What’s more terrifying is that the boss can have such a long-term vision. Not only did he discover the shortcomings of Dota, but he also put forward related solutions.

  Although in essence, this new game that was turned into [League of Legends] by Boss Cao has changed, but Ice Frog has to admit that Boss Cao won this meeting.

  Li Lanyun didn’t play dota very much, but after hearing the words from Boss Cao, there were 10,000 dams in his heart...

  Fuck, Boss Cao is simply a master of time management.

  How did he have so much time to experience dota, and how can he have time to think clearly about related improvement plans?

Meng Xiao, the person in charge of   dota, felt a chill in his back, and was very embarrassed.

  Negligence of duty, dereliction of duty.

  As the person in charge of dota, he has experienced that he is not as profound as his own boss, and he has to keep being pushed forward by the boss.

  This feeling is really terrible.

  ……

  Since the boss said so, and he also has a very mature plan.

  The Jinx drawn by Boss Cao on the whiteboard is so life-like, as if he had seen the hero a long time ago, even the style and background frame are almost finalized, so everyone has nothing to refute.

  So the next meeting progressed very quickly, everyone unanimously passed the proposal of Boss Cao, and then began to arrange staff to develop a new moba game.

  The name is called "League of Legends"

   "Considering the internationalization and making this game a global IP in the future," Cao Yang added, "I suggest that some people from the United States should be involved in the production, so as to better fit them culturally."

  It is certainly false to say that there is no selfishness.

  After all, Cao Yang was also a lol player in addition to being a dota player in his previous life.

  Just like he is a player of Glory of Kings, he has feelings for League of Legends.

  If you don’t have the familiar Jess, the Pi City policewoman, and the Jinx he likes, then how sorry this world would be.

   Just like the world without my king, Jin Shining and Wei Gong, there is always something missing.

  However, Cao Yang does not plan to completely let this project go to a branch in the United States. The end result of doing it there will be a lot of blacks and ugly heroes.

  This is called political correctness.

  But Chinese companies do not need to consider the political correctness of the United States.

  It is best to involve people from different countries.

  This way the game can be more diversified.

  Thinking of this, Cao Yang couldn't help laughing.

  A new one, but still retains the League of Legends in his memory——

   is about to be born.

  ……

  ……
