Chapter 845: League of Legends, officially attacked.
I've been thinking about one question before.
Gaming, in the end, is it for entertainment or for competition.
At the League of Legends press conference, Zhang Ning talked about his game philosophy.
This is an important measure for Zhang Ning to promote his own ideas and ideas.
At the same time, Zhang Ning also believes that this is a major way to build the soft power of Penguin.
Sometimes, the world reacts too slowly, and Zhang Ning must be one step ahead and remind users.
Of course, sometimes, in order to promote his own products, it is also necessary for Zhang Ning to instill his company's philosophy to users.
Moreover, Zhang Ning has to make them think that this is a great philosophy.
To put it simply, this is called brainwashing.
Obviously, games are inherently meant to entertain.
No matter where you put it, entertainment comes first.
Zhang Ning talked eloquently.
However, with the development of major games around the world, more and more strategic games are being introduced to the market. There have been a series of games such as Warcraft, which not only complete the competitiveness, but also reflect the good entertainment, which seems to be the future development direction of the game field. It's just a pity that Blizzard didn't do this well.
There are still quite a few gamers who don't find much entertainment when playing Warcraft or whatever.
Now it's a very popular dota, which is a game we made ourselves back then, and we sold it to Blizzard before.
Although Dota is great right now, it has attracted a lot of people to join.
But I still don't think Dota is doing well enough.
Just like when we were playing Dota, a novice player joined Dota, and as a result, in an automatic battle against the player, the novice player ran into a master of the Ancient Gray level. Undoubtedly, the newbie will end up in defeat. Such a one-sided game, apparently, he lost his entertainment value.
Similarly, for those Ancient Gray players, they are also depressed about it. They just wanted to find an opponent with similar strength to play a game of Dota where entertainment and competition are the same, but the system assigned him a few rookies.
This kind of situation often occurs in Dota, and people are once entangled in it, and many people can only make appointments every day to meet some opponents who know their strength in order to solve this problem. For example, friends on the Internet, but if they are online, it may be fine, but if they are not online, why not play Dota?
Of course, some people will say that you can play a few more rounds and you can't always run into an opponent who is very different from your own strength.
But this is only a palliative, not a cure, a dota move is an hour, play a few more games, and the time of the day runs out.
Well, there may be some experts who think that there can be a novice zone, an intermediate zone, and an expert zone for DOTA.
Novices enter the novice area, average players enter the intermediate area, and masters enter the master area.
In addition, there are restrictions on masters, and experts cannot enter the novice area.
This looks good, but it's still a palliative problem.
I would like to ask how we judge me as a novice, and how we judge me as a master.
Moreover, after a period of time, it is impossible to be a novice all the time. It's just that although he is not a novice, his level of play is still no different from that of a novice. If he can't enter the novice zone at this time, then, obviously, in the intermediate and advanced areas, he will also be abused.
So, here's the problem.
Entertainment is different from competitive between different players.
Since our game is for the player, we need to solve this problem.
Fortunately, there are more solutions than difficulties.
Our League of Legends has a new auto-matchmaking system, which allows users to enter the game and be automatically matched with opponents who are almost the same as the player. This is also our League of Legends innovative automatic matchmaking system, don't ask us how we do it, everyone can definitely feel it when they enter the game.
Well, there are actually a lot of ways to play our League of Legends, but I won't go into all of them.
Let's let all players around the world feel it to the fullest.
As long as you have played League of Legends, then, you will find that our League of Legends is wonderful.
After the press conference, League of Legends was also officially launched at this time.
Needless to say, the previous hype, and the previous tearing/forcing battles with Blizzard, have achieved very good results.
Not to mention, League of Legends is also a free-to-play game.
There is almost no need to advertise it, and countless gamers have already downloaded League of Legends.
Start, start.
I'm going to play a game of League of Legends.
Many players can't wait, and as soon as they enter the game, they have already clicked to start without thinking about it.
Although, they are still very new to this game.
But League of Legends, which has a good operating logic, does not have any difficulties in operation.
In addition, although there are many heroes who they don't know, after reading the introduction, you can understand.
Wow, the graphics are much better than Dota.
Hey, what kind of technology is this, summoner system.
Flash: Can flash forward for a distance, which looks good and has an extra means of saving life.
No, no, not only that, but the flash can not only retreat, but also rush forward, which is equivalent to one more chase skill.
The equipping skill tree is fantastic, and I finally know what weapons to buy.
Damn, the tower in League of Legends is so powerful, Nima, I can't stand it, it seems that League of Legends and Dota have changed a lot.
Haha, there are heroes who don't use blue, they have to rely on rage, which is another big innovation.
Also, also, this new hero is very powerful, I've never played it before, and the skills are so dazzling.
Many people previously thought that League of Legends was a copy of Dota, although they felt so in their hearts, but they still wanted to play it. However, after a few rounds of trial play, they soon found out. It looks like League of Legends is the same as Dota, but their design philosophy is completely different.
Moreover, the newly added monster additional attribute effects have added new ways to play. In addition, the new summoner system has dozens of changes at once. Not to mention the setting of tower defense, the tower of League of Legends is much more powerful than the tower in Dota, which also makes the tactics in the original Dota completely unplayable in League of Legends......
That's not the most important thing, though.
The most important thing is that these first batch of players who tried to play League of Legends, I don't know why, but I feel that playing League of Legends is much cooler than playing Dota.
Yes, the most important thing is a cool word.
This is an important feeling that many players have unanimously come up with after playing League of Legends.
Playing Dota before, they felt good and cool.
However, after playing League of Legends, they found out what it means to be really cool.
They don't understand why.
Obviously it looks like a similar game, but why, League of Legends gives a game pleasure that is significantly stronger than Dota?
However, they don't care about that.
They are not experts in the game industry, as long as the game is fun, as long as the game can give them a sense of refreshment, they will always play.
