Chapter 304 WCG and Professional League Planning
After talking about heroes, let’s talk about equipment. Gu Feng is not prepared to adopt the set of mythical equipment, because in his opinion, changes in mythical equipment are actually counterproductive to increasing the diversity of gameplay.

Its performance mainly comes from two aspects.

First, if many heroes have a mythical equipment that is particularly suitable for its compatibility, then in most games, players will basically use this equipment by default. In this case, even if the hero has some other feasible The outfit play method is basically unlikely to be considered by players in non-entertainment games.

Secondly, some heroes may be on the bench for a long time because they do not have particularly suitable mythical equipment.This phenomenon can only be said to be inevitable, and there is no way around it. After all, the number of mythical equipment is limited, and it is simply impossible to balance more than 100 heroes. Although a few heroes have feasible gameplay without mythical equipment, in most cases , without the blessing of mythical equipment, it is still difficult to fight against other heroes with mythical equipment.This is not to say that mythical equipment has caused some heroes to sit on the bench, but that the emergence of mythical equipment has caused more heroes to sit on the bench.

Under no circumstances is a hero considered cool. When the unique skills are no longer available, the hero is already too cool to be cool anymore. Just like the piano girl, she could still occupy a place in the organ star Nalu in the early days, and she was even one of the few. One of the heroes with the ultimate skin. Later, even the handicapped Bronze Girl abandoned her. Especially after Seraphine came online, she completely destroyed Qin Girl with a similar skill mechanism. This directly makes his status even more embarrassing. It is estimated that one day the designer will delete this hero quietly, and players may not be able to find out about it for a month as long as they don't read the news.

The design of mythical equipment is not adopted. Regarding equipment, the main issue is that old-fashioned issue, balance!

Regarding balance, heroes, equipment, and talents, the expectations are actually the same.

A tank is as brittle as a piece of paper in front of AD and mages, and it is too fleshy to be touched at all. It is definitely not possible for an AD with the same development level to die if it is touched by an assassin, and it is definitely not possible for an assassin with advanced development to hit the AD with a set. no……

But as far as equipment is concerned, it is actually impossible to have a situation where the gain of a certain piece of equipment is too outrageous. This situation occurred in "League of Legends" back then.

Back in those days, the Black Slicer had 50 attack power, 250 health, 10% cooldown reduction, 15 armor penetration, and a physical damage stack of 7.5 armor penetration, with a maximum of 4 layers. This panel value alone was actually not enough. Fortunately, it's not too much, but the problem is that it is not the only passive. Whether it is a warrior or an assassin, 4 black cuts are in hand, 200 attack power, 1000 health, 40% cooldown reduction, and 60 points of armor penetration. , after the stack is full, add 120 points of armor penetration, which can directly kill the stone man and the dragon turtle as crispy skin, so that the version at that time was jokingly called the Black Cut Alliance by players.

In terms of talent, it's pretty good. There's nothing special that needs major changes.

……

At the end of November, discussions on all aspects of the design and details of "League of Legends" were basically finalized. Subsequent games only need to be advanced in an orderly manner, and Gu Feng can allocate a lot of energy.

In December, the third WCS auditions came. Taking advantage of the time before the offline competition, Gu Feng did a lot of work, which mainly included systematic training for the members of the event department and the guidance of future event department leaders. Detailed division of work content.

The competition department is a newly added department after Chuxin’s large-scale recruitment expansion. Among them are seniors who have experienced the previous two WCS, but most of them are new people recruited in the past two months.

Now that the scale of the original intention is different from the past, Gu Feng will definitely have more and more work on his hands in the future. Naturally, he no longer needs to do everything by himself when it comes to hosting events.

At that time, I will only appear on stage at important moments, and at most, I will give out an award, and that’s about it.

Anyway, there are successful experiences to learn from now. After systematic training, it is unlikely that there will be any big problems.

In fact, if WCS is just held every year, there is no need to set up a special event department. The reason for this is because Gu Feng has other plans for the future.

As can be seen right now, there are more and more games that can hold competitions in Chuxin. Gu Feng’s plan is to hold the first WCG World E-sports Competition around July next year. The competition items initially include "StarCraft", " BNB, Pokémon Chess, Overwatch, and League of Legends. If there are other competitive games coming online next year, they can also be added.

The eligibility restrictions will be very loose. It can be said that as long as you are a law-abiding citizen, there is basically no problem. There is no age limit, no gender limit, and no nationality limit.

Gu Feng’s idea is to build WCG into the Olympic Games in the gaming industry. In each event, gold, silver and bronze medals will be awarded to the champion, second and third place, and the ranking will also generate a medal list on a national basis.

The biggest difference from the Olympic Games is that gaming events can be participated in online auditions, making it easier to become a national event.

Even if you just focus on participating, the feeling of personally participating and watching the whole process is definitely different.

The first WCG is an experiment. For the time being, we will only consider Chuanxin’s own games. Once the first WCG is successful, it is not impossible to add games from other companies in the future.

The reason for choosing July is to take care of the students. After all, although the game does not depend on age, it is a fact that the average level of young people is better, especially for games such as "League of Legends" with relatively high operational requirements. It's already the age of decline. The age of seventeen or eighteen is when hand speed and reaction are at their peak.

Without considering professional players, it can be predicted that in addition to powerful anchors on major platforms, most of the amateur players who can enter the offline competition are middle school students and college students. There will be office workers, but they should only account for a minority.

The nature of the anchor's work is relatively free, and it doesn't matter where he goes to compete. If students want to participate in offline competitions, they must have time during the winter and summer vacations, so this arrangement is made.

In addition to WCG, there is also the League of Legends S1 World Finals that will start in September next year, and the League of Legends Professional League that will be prepared after the finals.

Only when the League of Legends professional league becomes formalized can the e-sports industry truly take off. Given the social status of games in this world, it may not be a dream to truly compete with regular sports events in the future.
