Chapter 307 "League of Legends" is online

Long Xiya listened to the song and unknowingly closed her eyes and started humming along. When the song ended, the screen was full of bullets saying "Awesome". Long Xiya opened her mouth and wanted to say something different. , thought for two seconds, and finally just said the two words of the barrage.

"Brilliant."

sigh.

"Brilliant."

Picking up the prepared happy water, he pulled the ring apart roughly and handsomely, and took a big gulp.

"Brilliant!"

Putting down the can, he ran his palms through his hair along his forehead and raised his head slightly to spit out the gas in the soda.

"Brilliant."

He reached out and touched the back of his neck and showed it to the audience in the live broadcast room: "My neck is wet. This song is really awesome."

Long Xiya's headphones were originally relatively expensive and better. After closing her eyes, she felt as if she was really in a battlefield with dozens or millions of people, and her little body instantly became stronger. There was great pride.

Until now, the music has stopped, but the feeling of numbness on the scalp is still there. My hands and feet, which were slightly cold when I was sitting just now, are now feeling warm. There is a lot of sweat on my neck and back, and my face is flushed. It looks like someone who has just experienced some intense exercise.

"To be honest, I really didn't like symphonies at all before. With so many people and so many instruments, people would almost fall asleep after listening to it for 2 minutes. But this piece of Chuxin is really awesome, ten seconds Go straight up, and as soon as Junjun sang that part, I got goosebumps all over my body..."

……

However, the surprises that Original Intention brought to the world did not stop there. The next day, the Chinese and English theme songs of "League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities" were released at the same time.

Since "The Lonely Warrior" has been used by "Heroes of Fire", the Chinese theme song is an original song "This Aspiration is Unparalleled" that Clivia spent three months carefully polishing. On the one hand, it is inspired by the story in the animation. Inspiration, on the other hand, she has accumulated a lot of experience in continuously improving herself over the past two years. This song written, composed and sung by her is not inferior to "The Lonely Warrior".

Different from the emotions expressed in "The Lone Warrior", "The Unparalleled Ambition" focuses more on expressing unswerving will, indomitable determination, and never-give-up faith. Compared with the heroic and elegiac tribute of "The Lone Warrior", "This Aspiration is Unparalleled" is more like an inspiration to unyieldingly face the dawn.

The English version of the theme song uses the original English theme song "ENEMY" and is sung by a top black superstar in the United States.

As soon as the three new songs were released, they quickly swept the major music charts. For those who love music and games, this is like celebrating the New Year, although it is indeed the Chinese New Year.

Three consecutive WCS championships, new animations, and new music. It must be said that Original Intention has presented a sincere New Year gift to the players.

"..."League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities" is so surprising. Its style is completely different from "Pokémon". In comparison, its style reminds me of Chuanxin's past game. Game, "Machinarium". Both are full of steampunk elements. The style of "Machinarium" is more like ink painting, while the style of "League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities" is more like oil painting. Neither of them is mainstream. The style of painting is not inconsistent at all..."

"...As an animation fan and an art student, I have watched countless 2D and 3D animations since I was a child. But animations like "League of Legends: Battle of Two Cities" that use 3D rendering and 2D techniques are still The first time I saw it, it turned out to be an extremely successful attempt. In the past, some people always said that animation was not a serious career, but today I must responsibly say that the production level shown by the original intention in this animation alone, Even in the entire animation industry, it is still the top existence. Just saying this, some people will definitely think that I am bragging, so in order to let more people know why I said this, I will detail it from several aspects. explain……"

"What do you guys think of Clivia's strength? After "囍" came out, there were always people who criticized Clivia for not being able to sing high notes. Does your face hurt now?"

"Haha, when Hei Lan spoke, he put three songs here, "囍", "Victory", and "This Will Be Unparalleled". How many popular singers in the entertainment industry can be called here to play?"

"Brother, don't be embarrassed. The songs we Junjun sing are very popular among yuppies abroad. How many of these popular stars have their works heard by people outside of China?"

"Maple God and Junjun are not only talented and beautiful together, they are also a perfect match."

"Don't forget there is a sister, this is called Sangua Kaitai."

"Don't forget that there is also the Dream God. This is called spreading all over the world."

"Don't forget that there is also a trick king. This is called five hangings at the door."

Because many new tests have been recruited, Chuanxin no longer relies so much on experiencing in-store testing.

Valentine's Day, February 2th, everyone came back from the New Year and worked for more than a week before finally releasing "League of Legends".

The original intention was for the players. In order to avoid players having difficulty choosing, the game was launched at 9 a.m., and the animation would not be updated until 20 p.m.

In order to allow players to get started faster, the novice guidance of the game is quite good. It not only teaches the basic rules of the game, such as how to move, how to use skills, how to return to the city, how to buy equipment, how to calculate victory, etc. , and also briefly explained the team positioning of the five positions for players. For example, the support must bear the vision pressure for the team and protect one's own C position. The jungler needs to control the resources in the wild and assist the online teammates to kill the enemy online heroes, etc.

In the official game, the store has also thoughtfully prepared recommended outfits for players to prevent players from not knowing how to outfit when they don’t know anything at the beginning.

It is precisely because the novice guidance is considerate enough that players in this world can get started much faster than when Gu Feng first played. At least they will not create the red-crossed ice bird, the madman ice, and the dema station. Plant an oolong.

As for the profit point of the game, it is naturally the evil skin. After all, besides buying skins, Gu Feng really didn't think of any better ideas.

Although countless people have denounced words such as "Another skin is released to try to defraud me of money", but looking at the matter, skins are indeed not a bad thing for "League of Legends" itself. After all, if every hero has only one classic skin, playing There are hundreds or thousands of games, and it seems that these models are everywhere, which would make everyone vomit.

What's more, for many players, the skin itself is a face-saving effort to pretend to be aggressive, and it is the most intuitive manifestation of strength.

The game has just been released, everyone is a rookie, and there are only a handful of people with skins. During this period, if a handsome guy with skins appears in a certain game, his status will be like Uzi and Faker, and the other nine people will instantly Everyone knows how to play this game.

And when the game has been out for a long time, if anyone in a ranked game doesn't even have a skin, the teammates' hearts will suddenly thump, and they will instantly become less optimistic about the future of the game. When they check the results again, they don't even have 10 games with the hero. , at this time, some people may have already thought about it.

For players, some people buy skin pictures because they are handsome, while some people buy skins just to be confident in themselves as a hero. Just kidding, I am a level 7 dog tag, is a classic skin worthy of my identity?
However, the skin is done, and the areas that should be optimized and improved cannot be ignored. After all, for Gu Feng, making money by playing games is natural, but making money by making games is a thunderbolt.

Gu Feng didn't want to complain too much about the pitfalls of the skin in his previous life. There were four main points for optimizing the skin.

First, we definitely don’t want skins that are so ugly that they have no friends and can’t even compare to the classics. Some of them are so speechless that Gu Feng can’t forget them to this day.For example, the stone man's coral reef will probably cast a shadow on the opponent if he is facing trypophobia; another example is the robot's rusty skin, except that the color is slightly darker than the classic skin, and there is really no more difference. Another example is the big-headed imitation of ET, which is so ugly that it is actually a legendary skin. Who would dare to believe it?There are also the Traditional Monks of Blind Monk, Pinocchio of Clockwork, and so on.

Second, there is no need for original paintings and models that are as big as a buyer’s show or a seller’s show.In this regard, Gu Feng was also impressed by some, such as Xin Zhao's Winged Cavalry Commander. The original painting was so handsome that it felt like a demon god came to the world. But as soon as he entered the game, emm?There was a ring of long hair that looked like a cockscomb on his forehead, and those who didn’t know thought it was the chief of some tribe who ran out; the other one was Lulu’s Candy Witch. The game modeling was actually pretty good, but the original painting was authentic. It can easily scare children to tears, but slime is not as ugly as this thing.

Third, skin pricing has been lowered. In the original game, the ultimate skin and some Three Kingdoms skins can be purchased for 199. Even one skin is more expensive than Overwatch. Is that true?drop!Everything must surrender!Not only that, all skins available for purchase in the store will also have a certain discount based on the proficiency of the corresponding hero. Level 5 proficiency is 9% off, level 6 proficiency is 7.5% off, and level 7 proficiency is 6% off.

Fourth, skin drawing activities can be held, but they should not be frequent. You can appropriately reduce the probability of players getting skins, but remove the time-limited skin settings. After all, players have spent money. Is drawing some 7-day skins deliberately disgusting?Then there is the Tome. Players who don’t spend money should be able to get skins through the Tome, even if the value and quantity are not as good as those who spend money.

Players play games for fun. With the popularity of "League of Legends", even if all the skins are sold for 20 yuan and [-] yuan, the company will make a lot of money. There is no need to look so ugly.

Because the launch date coincides with Valentine's Day, in addition to novice activities and novice tasks, players also have activities where they can redeem Xayah or Rakan's Valentine's Day skins by completing tasks.

The tasks that need to be completed are not difficult. You only need to achieve any one of the two goals. Both goals can only be achieved when the two heroes Xia Luo appear on one side of the game at the same time. If you choose , then the sum of the number of kills and assists needs to be more than 15. If the opponent chooses it, then the total number of kills of the opponent Xialuo needs to be more than 7 times.

Smarter players can see at a glance the hidden malice of the designer in this task. On the one hand, players are encouraged to take their girls to a dark show of affection, and on the other hand, they instill hatred in those who show affection.

If everyone has played for a while and is familiar with the game, the difficulty of the two tasks will not be much different. However, for them who are still novices, the players still don’t know the skills of grabbing kills and mixing assists, but they are full of hatred. After that, being watched and killed by 5 people, it was not easy to die 7 times in total.

Such an event coincides with Valentine's Day. It's hard to say whether Gu Feng deliberately guided players to call friends and not have the intention of turning black. It's hard to say whether these two Valentine's Day skins are the best-looking skins at present, but players Their ideas are often extremely simple. With the words "Valentine's Day Exclusive" in the upper right corner of these two skins, there is no reason not to take the skins that can be used for free. As we all know, rare things are worth more. How can the value of permanent store skins be compared with limited edition skins?
Since players don't have much gold coins at the beginning, the weekly free heroes in the first two weeks of the game are more important. There are 15 weekly free heroes in total, 3 for each position.

The free heroes for the first week are:
Top road: Alchemist - Singed, Swift Scout - Teemo, Future Guardian - Jace.

Middle lane: Time Assassin - Ike, Great Inventor - Heimerdinger, Mechanical Pioneer - Victor.

Jungle: Picheng Law Enforcement Officer - Wei, Blind Monk - Li Qing, The Mummy of Shang - Amumu.

Bottom lane: Piltover policewoman - Caitlin, rampant lolita - Jinx, Ni Yu - Xia.

Auxiliary: Alchemy Baron - Lenata, Huan Ling - Luo, Fairy Witch - Lulu.

First of all, the 9 heroes who will appear in the Battle of Two Cities are among them. After the animation is broadcast in the evening, the usage rate of these 9 heroes will definitely increase.

Then there is the action dog male and female team Xia Luo.

There are four left. Needless to say, Timote's million-dollar charm. The evergreen blind monk in the jungle and the brainless group control Amumu are heroes with two extremes of difficulty in operation, which can well meet the preferences of different players. Lulu is not only an excellent partner for non-displacement AD, but her cute appearance can easily attract girl players like Teemo.

With such a weekly free lineup, even Gu Feng couldn't guess for a moment whether Xia Luo or Teemo would die more. Logically speaking, with the hatred caused by the temptation of skin, Xia Luo would definitely suffer. Heavy hand, but I think this situation should only be more common a few days before the event. Once the players have almost obtained the skin, Teemo should also use these few days to establish his cheap image, and come from behind. It's not impossible.

Just when "League of Legends" was quickly taking over Internet cafes across the country, and the number of people online was soaring, no one realized that the wolf was really coming!

In fact, Gu Feng had doubted before that in today's era of more advanced VR technology, whether "League of Legends" can still achieve the terrifying dominance of the previous life. After all, judging from the results of the previous life, "League of Legends" ten years later will 》It is indeed far worse than before, not necessarily cold, but it is indeed a fact that I am lonely.

But thinking about it carefully, he feels that the fundamental reason for the failure of "League of Legends" is not that other games are so good that they steal away players.The main reason is still due to the fact that the freshness brought to players by moba games has been almost exhausted. In addition, the official's trouble-making operations are also one after another. The performance of the home team in the S game makes players feel frustrated and uncomfortable. , going downhill is inevitable.

There are many reasons for the success of "League of Legends". It does not mean that a game with advanced technology, large investment, and long development time will surpass it. At least based on Gu Feng's current understanding, in terms of the competitiveness and enjoyment of the game , there is no game type that can beat moba. Even VR, it is not easy to make a competitive game that surpasses "League of Legends".

Even if the tactic of using magic to defeat magic is adopted, the No. 1 perspective moba made in VR is feasible, but in terms of experience, it is completely different from the third-person perspective. It is difficult to say which one is better.
