In December, the cat and fox video website will broadcast two large-scale competitive competitions in succession, coupled with its original live broadcast function, it has earned the attention of players for a while.

Many well-known gamers and internet celebrities around the world have started to experiment with the novelty of "live streaming".

G fat at the moment to experience the same egg pain as Jobs, this guy who will never count "3", now developed most of the dota2 has been seriously threatened by the League of Legends, will it be worse than another time and space after the release in the future, it is likely to be a positive answer.

LOL, who has absorbed a lot of Dota 2 advantages and improved his own shortcomings, is now far more mature than his opponents.

G Fat knows that they have to postpone the release time of Dota 2, and now the content in Dota 2 is not LOL's opponent at all, but if it really postpones the release, it will allow LOL to seize more markets, which is really a dilemma.

The most painful part of the V Society, or the way it operates in League of Legends, this free game doesn't even sell skins, so how did those dazzling skins come about?

How shameless the two brothers are, they directly copied the skin trading system and unboxing subsystem of CS: Operation Unboxing a few years later, and then merged the skin system that LOL could change the appearance, skills and voice of the character, and it became an excellent combination of money.

LOL's skins can still change the appearance of characters and props, as well as the effects of skills, and even the sounds of characters and effects. But unlike the original plane, all the hero skins in "League of Legends" are the skins. As well as all item skins, they are obtained by opening a case or completing the game, and are no longer sold in the store.

There are 8 types of skin qualities in League of Legends. They are: 1. Crude grade - white; 2. Ordinary grade - sky blue; 3. Boutique grade - dark blue; 4. Excellence - purple; 5. Cherished grade - pink; 6. Strange - red; 7. Legendary - Red +★; 8. Epic - Yellow + ★ (there are currently less than 100 epic skins in the game, and the exchange price is more than 30,000 US dollars)

In addition to the level of the skin, the appearance of the skin in League of Legends is also divided into five types, from the degree of wear to the large: brand new, slightly worn, battle-resistant, damaged, and scarred. No matter how the player uses it, the appearance of the skin does not change, and the model is just for the sake of good looks and will not give you any advantages.

League of Legends also borrows from Borderlands' gear randomization system, with one or two skins randomly dropped at the end of each round. Each piece resembles Borderlands' equipment system, with randomly generated sprites and a unique permanent appearance.

Regarding the acquisition of item skins: According to the official version. Randomly dropped skins and chests will be obtained by playing on any server with the anti-cheat system enabled for a certain amount of time (except in offline mode), and the chance of getting skins decreases with the number of hours of playtime during the week, and the drop chance is refreshed every week. Players who have a tournament bag will receive the same amount of drops each week. can get additional skins and chest drops.

Whereas, these skins will be played more and more. There will definitely be many skins that players don't like, so you can use the "Skin Trade Contract", where players can exchange 10 items of the same quality for 1 more advanced item skin, and this function can be used unlimitedly.

This "skin system" sounds simply too conscientious, but players don't be happy too early, League of Legends has been in open beta for three months, and it is difficult for players who don't open the box to get good-looking skins, don't think that the game company is stupid.

And then there's the shit-spawned gear. It's just a myriad of pre-designed modules that are put together in a way that makes it look as if they've been irradiated. Some players have even been given a skin that is infinitely close to the male genitalia.

Well, this stick skin ended up being sold for tens of thousands of dollars, but most of the random equipment was something that no one wanted.

So, here comes the real essence - unboxing.

The skins that players get randomly through the game, although the appearance is strange, but the probability of really producing a good-looking skin is very low, and most of the skins are strange shapes that are immediately put together, which is unsightly.

But don't be afraid, local tyrants, we also have a variety of boxes that can be used to open gorgeous prop skins, beautiful character appearances, gorgeous special effects, and even better sound effects designed by the artists.

League of Legends currently has 48 different chests, corresponding to the 48 heroes that have been released. Each case has a fixed 12 skins, and players can purchase different series of chests according to their needs.

Of course, the price of these boxes is also different, and the pricing of the boxes in the cat and fox game is set according to the average price that the player puts on the exchange, not the price set by himself, so according to the different drop probabilities, the cheapest is only a few tens of cents, and the most expensive can reach twenty or thirty dollars.

Although it is sold based on the average price of the exchange, in fact, the cat and fox game can control the drop chance to control the price of the chest.

The reason is very simple, if there are many drops, it will naturally be cheaper, otherwise the price will rise.

At the end of each game in League of Legends, at least one chest and a random piece of skin equipment will be dropped, which can be obtained by ten players fighting for their character. However, the key to open the case will not be dropped, and those who plan to open the case will only be able to purchase the key from the store and get a random piece of skin equipment from the opened chest.

The price of the keys is uniform worldwide, and each one costs 2.49 US dollars, which is inexpensive.

In addition, if there is a "Kill Stats Tracking?" can only be obtained by opening chests, and randomly obtained skins do not have this feature. Basically, players want really good-looking skins, which can only be obtained by opening boxes, and the official mall only sells keys and chests, and does not sell skins at all, so how can you make money if you don't fool you into opening boxes?

Many players began to complain again, because many local tyrants opened boxes with hundreds of dollars in a row, and instead of opening the skin they wanted, they opened a lot of garbage.

But this thing is based on character. There are also some lucky people who have opened only a few boxes and opened skins worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Ordinary players feel that the "cat and fox game" is very conscientious. Because the price of the chest ranges from tens of cents to tens of dollars, in addition to buying it from the mall, it will also drop immediately when playing. If ordinary players don't buy skins and only use the ugly skins of the original, they can earn a lot of beautiful knives just by selling chests.

Although it is not possible to exchange the sold knives for cash, as that would involve gambling, it is illegal in many countries. However, players can exchange their earnings for cash through trading platforms outside of the game. There are actually a lot of players who make money in the game, although it's never too much.

The League of Legends mall only sells three items for the time being. Keys, chests, name tags (change skin names).

In addition to the core skin system of League of Legends, the two brothers also know that any free-to-play game will inevitably deal with the enemy of "cheating", because free means that the cost of cheating is not high. Although there is not much room for cheating in games like League of Legends. But the two still instructed the company to make a "supervision system".

This is a supervision system based on player autonomy. The design is designed to regulate the behavior of players on the server and reduce the number of cheating players.

Needless to say, the two of them copied the future V Society, who called your things good.

Catfox Games will launch this anti-cheat feature 3 months after the game is released, and a group of investigators will be selected from players based on the number of match wins, account age, game duration, skill level and other factors, and they will have the right to review the bad behavior reports submitted by players in the server and ban the relevant players, and finally get a lot of rewards.

To put it simply. It's that you've spent money in the game, you've been playing long enough, and your matchmaking level is high enough. This gives you the opportunity to become an honorable investigator.

If the player's rank is too low, then he is not qualified to become an investigator, and the handicap party looks like a cheater to everyone.

Any player who is reported to be cheating in the game will be uploaded to the server for other players to watch the video and investigate.

The investigator will review the game footage of the alleged violation that has been reported in the eighth round, and the text, voice, and player ID have been removed from all matches, so the investigator should make an unbiased judgment based solely on the player's behavior as they see it.

In the end, there will be three judgment results: serious violations, that is, cheating, in which case the account will be permanently banned; The second is a minor violation, if the investigator believes that the person has cheated, but the degree of cheating is minor, he will be cleared of the rank and banned for one month; Finally, there is insufficient evidence, this kind of natural is that the high players are reported by the rookies and will not be punished in any way. Each report will be reviewed repeatedly by multiple investigators, who will be ranked according to the accuracy of their judgment. The verdict of the higher-ranked investigator has more weight than the lower-ranked investigator.

Once the verdict is successful, the investigator will be rewarded with a random skin or chest, which is an incentive for players to help the game company eradicate cheats.

In general, League of Legends' charging method of not selling skins, but selling boxes and keys is the first time, and many people in the industry are naturally not optimistic about such a whimsical way of making profits. Domestic game companies dare not follow this model, because once the quality of the game itself is not good enough, it will be all over, and the comprehensive operation requirements of the game company are too high.

Maohu Games is a giant in the mobile game industry, monopolizing half of the mobile game industry. Don't think that operating a mobile game is simple, the operational strength of Maohu Games is not much worse than those first-line online game companies.

After three months of operation in League of Legends, the prices of cherished, bizarre, and legendary skins on the exchange remain high, especially the bizarre and legendary skins that are extremely difficult to open, each of which is priced at thousands of dollars, and the value is still increasing, and some have exceeded the five-figure price.

As for epic skins, ordinary players don't even think about it, if you don't open a box of 350,000 knives, you won't even see their shadows, and each of these skins can be exchanged for a down payment for a two-bedroom apartment in "Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou".

There are now less than 10 epic skins, the most expensive of which are the character skins of "Fox of the World" and "Extraordinary Panda", and less than 10 are available in three months around the world. Not to mention the value of these two skins themselves, even the boxes that can open these two character skins are sold at the exchange price between 20 and 30 dollars.

Every time a player opens this kind of box, it is more than 20 knives, and someone opened 3,000 such boxes in a row in the live broadcast area, and in the end, these two character skins were still not opened, and he was so angry that he smashed the computer.

Cat and Fox Games also released the news that these two skins will become out of print at the end of the year, and they will never be opened again, so many local tyrants are smashing tens of thousands of knives and tens of thousands of knives, and ordinary players can't imagine the madness of local tyrants at all.

Why are "Contest Tips" so popular?

It's because players have the opportunity to open out-of-print or limited-edition skins, and each one will be a bumper harvest of tens of thousands of dollars. Even if your luck isn't so rebellious, you can get a lot of gains as long as you open a cherished, strange-level skin.

In this world, most players feel that they are not bad luck, and they will definitely be able to open high-level skins and items when the time comes, so the prize pool of the tournament has gone all the way up, players are getting more and more crazy, and the number of people online is breaking new records every day.

Every time this happens, the distant G fat will feel more and more egg pain!

The two brothers felt that if they could kill Dota 2, they might be able to make G Fat learn to count "3" from now on. (To be continued......)
