A real cheat was blocked, and the game industry was rectified with a backhand

On this day, many people should start their vacation, go home, or go shopping.

Anyway, the updates for the New Year have already been completed, so we can only update on schedule.

Some people want to take a long-awaited trip with their families, some people want to buy some New Year goods and a belated set of new clothes.

But they were all interrupted by this sudden change.

For a moment, the studio was filled with gloom and sadness.

"This is fucked up. I wanted to bring my girlfriend home for Chinese New Year."

"I'm the same. I haven't been home for three years."

"Shh!"

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

I feel very conflicted inside.

I felt a little happy because Liu Hu looked so embarrassed, but I was also a little worried about the future of the project.

Yes, they all stayed to work overtime.

It just said that we have to work overtime, but what exactly do we do?
Now it's a mess.

Players have all kinds of complaints, and they all sound reasonable.

If it's first come first served, when should this be changed?

As for reversing reputation?

There is no way to even talk about it.

Now we need to do balancing first to improve the balance of heroes and maps.

It is better to optimize the matching mechanism first so that players can know whether they will win or lose the game as soon as they get to 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 skills and experience are clearly exposed at this moment.

It is obvious that the team is our own, we have the final say, and the headquarters also provides sufficient support.

But there is a feeling of being at a loss.

Until now, the root cause has not been found!
Why did the game experience an avalanche of development after the large-scale release of testing qualifications?
"I know, I know. I now know the problem. In addition, the smear campaign by our peers has caused the reputation of the game to decline to a certain extent. But please rest assured, there is absolutely no problem with the strategy!"

After much persuasion, I managed to get through it.

But now, the problem arises again.

How to do!
Why is it that a design that was previously considered excellent is now being criticized as worthless?
Sharing experience increases the importance of the team and paves the way for e-sports.

Canceling the economic system will eliminate the boring laning phase in the game and allow players to directly start their favorite team battles.

Multiple playable maps ensure that players will never get bored.

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

This is obviously good?!
Why! !
At this moment, Liu Hu had an urge to call Zhang Chengbo to ask for advice.

When I was working at Naughty Cat, I was never confused about strategy or direction.

Because we are all moving forward according to Lin Mo's route, we know that it is right, and as long as we execute it firmly, we will reap a good harvest sooner or later.

The "Raiden Heroes" project has now suffered its first Waterloo.

I began to doubt myself for a moment.

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

Take a deep breath and force yourself to calm down.

He believed that even if the League of Legends was officially launched tomorrow, it would not be possible to surpass the Thunder Hero in a short period of time.

There is still time.

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

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

This is prioritized for rework.

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

Each hero has different performance on different maps.

The bigger the map, the stronger the heroes with average damage but fast support.

The faster the conflict, the harder it is for the late-stage core heroes to perform.

As a matter of fact, the whole body can be affected. We can only save lives first and then make changes gradually.

Finally, regarding the recent criticisms from many veteran players, it is impossible to win with only one new player in the team, the barrel effect is too obvious, and single players are unable to carry and cannot lead the team in heroic competitions.

big head.

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

"take it easy."

He scratched his hair in annoyance and let out a long sigh.

jobs.

A small county town in the north.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"

"Are you 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's nothing to do.

I often call home and talk about everything I need to talk about.

This year's Spring Festival holiday is combined with the annual leave, so it is a long holiday.

He had been busy in Zhonghai City for a long time. It was his first time returning home for the New Year in two years. Naturally, his parents would not let him do any housework.

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

There is no work to do, but there is nothing to do either.

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

"Let's go to the Internet cafe?"

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

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

[I'm back. I'm bored. Where are we going? ]

[I replied as well. I arrived yesterday. Let’s get together? ]

I didn't expect that after I said this, many people responded.

I quickly counted them and found five people.

Liu Wenbo's heart moved.

Five people?
[Do you want to go to the Internet cafe? Let's play "Raiden Heroes"? Do you play this game?]

[Okay, let’s go! ]

[Whoever has the worst performance tonight will treat you]

[Brothers, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. We need to have a good reunion]

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

After making an appointment in the online group, Liu Wenbo said goodbye to his parents and left the house.

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

There is a pack of cigarettes on the seat for smokers. In addition, there is a bottle of water and a pack of wet wipes on each seat, which shows the thoughtfulness.

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

"They are all working hard in big cities. I envy them."

"You may become a leader one day, and we will count on you to lead us then."

A few of them chatted and laughed about their recent situation while opening "Heroes of Raiden".

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

Now that many years have passed, the servers have been shut down and there are not many games left to play.

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

"Me too. But I heard this game is pretty fun, so I'll play it during the holidays."

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

Soon, several people registered accounts and added friends.

Games start!
Cursed Valley map.

Tributes are refreshed regularly on this map. After you grab three, the place will be cursed. The soldiers will have only a little health and the defense tower will not attack.

In addition to the well-known mechanisms, the key points to winning the game are line operation and hero selection.

Since the map is large and there are many narrow bushes, it is more advantageous to be able to open the map or have a hero with long displacement.

The game begins.

Liu Wenbo warned: "Remember, when the first wave of tributes refreshes on this map, your level should be almost level 6 or 7. You must pay attention to taking the lane, otherwise it will be bad if the opponent levels up during the team fight."

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

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

"Hello? Okay, okay. I'll give you the plan tonight. Got it. I'll definitely get it done."

Liu Wenbo's mouth twitched.

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

"Hey, did you hear me?"

"I heard you, don't worry, I'll take the lane to gain experience and drag the game into the late game. I'm counting on you to turn the tables."

Liu Wenbo nodded: "Okay, follow my instructions and take you to take off!"

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

While having multiple stages of displacement, the operational ceiling of both skills and normal attacks is very high, but the body is correspondingly very fragile, and it can kill people in seconds, but it can also be killed in seconds.

In the later stages, basically no one can be a match for you.

Enter the game and follow the usual rhythm, develop secretly, eat the line, and occupy the camp as a jungler.

However, as soon as he started playing, Liu Wenbo was confused.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing in the top lane? Don't get into this meaningless fight, go to the middle lane and grab the line." But, how could the teammates listen?
I really enjoyed the feeling of fighting and there was a burst of laughter.

"Fuck, help me, help me!"

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

"It's over. 1 for 2. I lost."

"Wenbo, why don't you come to the group? What's the point of eating the line? You don't have any money."

Liu Wenbo patiently explained: "Experience in this game is actually a form of money. If you fall behind by one level in experience at an important node, it is equivalent to falling behind by a large piece of equipment on the opponent."

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

However, ten minutes later.

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

He watched helplessly as the BOSS summoned by the other side brought a curse and flattened his base in one wave.

In the last team fight, his hands were almost broken.

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

A feeling of powerlessness came over me.

It's obvious that the opponent's operational awareness is not as good as his, and they are far behind.

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

"I told you to remember to take the lane and follow my instructions. The other side also has five men, so it's obvious that they know how to play."

"Okay, okay, okay. Got it, got it. I'll pay attention next time."

"Wenbo, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you're clearly a wimp."

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

"Ah I?!"

There is a feeling of vomiting blood.

Brothers, wasn’t it me who was already flattened?
"Yeah, your hero is too fragile, and you can't support like the opponent. Isn't that why you lose many times? You're called a late-game hero, but your damage seems to be just average in the late game."

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

As if they could sense that he was in a bad mood, the atmosphere in the five-man team that had been laughing and chatting happily just now underwent some subtle changes.

Second round, Sky Palace.

The third game, Tower of Doom.

The fourth game, the eternal battlefield.

Lose, lose, lose.
After several consecutive defeats, someone finally couldn't stand it anymore.

"I say, you guys need to be more careful with your operation, your skills are too exaggerated."

"Damn, isn't this the advantage I gained through my operations in the early stages?"

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

"Okay, okay, got it."

The atmosphere had clearly changed.

Liu Wenbo was a little depressed.

No one is happy about losing the game, but the problem now is.

These old classmates don’t know why they lost!

There were several times when we had a huge advantage in the early stages, but as the game went on we just couldn't win.

Without equipment and economy, I don’t know who was the one who carried and where I lost.

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

Moreover, he does have good operational awareness, but this game cannot be won by one person alone.

The barrel effect is too serious!

If you want to win, it’s not about how good the best players on both sides are, but how bad the worst players are after watching twice.

We were having a great time playing and laughing, but the atmosphere became heavy.

No one is happy.

Several students who seldom played games were even less interested. They kept looking at the time, probably wondering whether they should continue to play together.

Liu Wenbo was a little puzzled for a moment.

I didn't feel anything when this game first came out, why is it so hard to play now?

It's torture to guide new players.

Or, just change the game.

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

A user nicknamed Chili suggested, "Let's play League of Legends. I'm not good at shooting games."

"Okay! Today happens to be the first day of the PC version testing."

Of course, it had already been downloaded in the Internet cafe.

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

After the tutorial, start the game.

According to the suggested lane division, the top lane is the molten monster Malphite (Stone Man), the middle lane is the Dark Lady Annie, and the bottom lane is the Frost Archer Ashe and the Steam Robot Blitzcrank.

Liu Wenbo chose to play jungle and the hero he used was Master Yi, the Wuju Swordsman.

There are three standard lanes with a long distance between them, which finally stops the teammates from running around and allows them to focus on their lines.

Last hit, and fight with the opponent's hero.

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

The stone man on the top lane was the first to scream and call for support.

The enemy did not follow the official recommended position division, and there were two people in the top lane.

The Stone Man was fighting one against two, and was reduced to low health in just the time it took him to replenish his soldiers.

Fortunately, there is a defense tower that hurts people very badly, otherwise I would definitely die.

"Here we go, hold on!"

One punishment instantly killed the last bit of the Crimson Marked Tree Monster's health, and it gained a red BUFF, which had the effect of sucking a little bit of life, plus slowing it down and causing some incidental damage.

Then we rushed on to the road without stopping.

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

Just do it!
The Stone Man is a hero who is extremely dependent on ultimate skills. If he doesn't resist when his health is low in the early stage, he will be dead.

But the Swordmaster arrived in time while sprinting, and was not in a hurry to use his skills. He just slashed at the Prince who had used his skills, and killed him directly with the damage from the defense tower without even using flash.

After flashing, the Master Yi used his E skill Counter-Storm to escape, trying to escape.

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

Don't rush to get close. Wait until the effect of the E skill is over, then press the Q skill to deal damage while approaching the Master Yi. Use the E skill to increase the attack, one, two, or three hits.

Double Kill!

The two first-level heroes of the other side had no room to resist at all.

A steady and powerful voice announced.

"How come you're only level 2?!"

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

I killed a few more groups of wild monsters, saved up enough money, and went home to buy some equipment.

I had just walked to the wild area below when I heard the bad news.

The duo lane with Robot, a strong support in the rookie game, was double-killed.
Like a firefighter, Liu Wenbo immediately rushed to the bottom lane.

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

"Don't be impulsive. Wait for us to revive. Eh? Huh?"

The bottom lane duo was confused.

The combination of ADC Explorer Ezreal (EZ) and Starchild Soraka, saw the Swordmaster and went forward without hesitation.

However, the damage done by the Sword Master clearly exceeded everyone's expectations.

At this time, the Sword Master went home to replenish his equipment. He killed so many wild monsters and got two more kills, one of which was First Blood.

There is a brutal force in his body!
He was able to fight one against two without losing the upper hand, especially against a duo that hadn’t yet replenished their equipment.

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

By the time EZ realized something was wrong, it was already too late and his health was already very low.

He quickly used the E skill and flash to move back to the tower.

However, Liu Wenbo still uses the same little trick.

Save Q for last to deal damage and get closer to the target!

Use the skill and strike with two cuts.

Another head, got it!

However, the Sword Master was also low on 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 nervously on the Sword Master.

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

W skill meditation, reducing damage while restoring health.

Just happened to be alive!

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

"Wow, this is awesome! There is also this trick? This hero is strong! I want to play him next time!"

"Damn, I didn't realize you were so good at playing. You're taking off now!"

"Have you already synthesized this equipment once? The clockwork elf opposite me only has a pair of shoes."

"When you need me to beat up someone in a team fight, I'll beat them up."

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

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