Of course, at this time, there must be some players who will raise opinions such as "e-sports, cooking is the original sin", "a rookie should work hard and one day can surpass the master" and so on.
This statement is fine, but it should only be used for self-motivation, not to ask others.
You have been abused, practice hard on your own, and there is nothing wrong with being abused. But if your girlfriend is too good at playing and is being abused, and you say "e-sports is the original sin" at this time, you can see if the two of you will break up.
The king player is the player.
Bronze players are also players.
For most handicapped players, operation and reaction are innate, and no matter how hard you practice, you can't change it.
For designers, both types of players are equally important, as they are an essential part of the overall in-game ecosystem.
Simplifying the game operation will allow more fish pond players to join and stay, so this game has more players than other games, which is the core competitiveness of the game.
As for high-end players
As long as the player base goes up, there will always be high-end players. The relationship between the two is not opposite, and high-end players are all crawling out of fish pond players.
And what are the consequences of the depletion of fish ponds
For example, if a large number of players in the Bronze tier of League of Legends are lost, the Bronze player will have to queue for a longer time if he wants to play in the ranking. The lower you are, the more you have been abused, and you can only get out of the pit as time goes by.
This will further exacerbate the loss of players. When the bronze group has fewer and fewer players, it will start to be the turn of the silver group, gold group...
The depletion of fish ponds will cause a series of chain reactions, causing the entire game's competitive ecology to collapse from the bottom up, and the rate of player loss is getting faster and faster, which is a nightmare for competitive games.
Part of the reason for the decline in the popularity of "Overwatch" in Chen Mo's previous life is here.
Originally, the buyout fee and the threshold of computer configuration have blocked many players who are waiting to see. The player base is far inferior to that of "League of Legends", and the problems in the game mechanism and ranking mechanism have caused the popularity of fried fish ponds. Various factors The combination has caused a large number of players to leave the pit, and the popularity has also dropped.
Of course, dota and "League of Legends" also have the phenomenon of frying fish ponds, but dota has many diehard fans and the player base tends to be stable, while "League of Legends" has a fish pond that is deep enough to blow up even if you blow it hard. Come.
But what if the player base is not enough
I'm afraid even the best game will be cold.
…
After a lot of effort, Wen Lingwei and Chang Xiuya finally completed the novice training.
After completing the novice training, a special interface pops up on the screen as a system prompt, and there is also a very beautiful treasure chest.
"Congratulations on completing the novice training, and you have received a small gift from Valoran, please click to open it."
Jia Peng was a little surprised: "Huh? Is there a reward for completing a novice training?"
Jia Peng clicked on the treasure chest, a golden light flashed, and several rewards appeared on the screen.
New skin: [Death Knight] Garen
Currency: 4500 coupons, 10000 gold coins.
Guard (Eye) Skin: Adorable Yeti Guard.
This is not over yet, Jia Peng just clicked to confirm to accept these rewards, and a new interface appeared.
"As a player of the first season of "League of Legends", we have prepared a small gift for you. Note: This reward will be out of print after the end of the first season and cannot be obtained through normal means."
Jia Peng clicked the mouse and found another skin!
New Skin: [Dragon Stalker] Vayne
Jia Peng suddenly lost his composure, what the hell, so many good things
Obviously, although Jia Peng doesn't know the value of these things, he can read, and he can recognize the purple [Epic] icon on these two skins.
Moreover, 4500 coupons, this is the currency that can only be obtained by recharging in the game.
Jia Peng hurriedly entered the [Collection] to check the reward he had just obtained.
Unlike the "League of Legends" in the previous life, Chen Mo added hero models in both the game mall and the player's collection interface. Players can not only see the original painting of the hero's skin in this interface, but also its real model.
This is not difficult at all, after all, even a mobile game like "Glory of the King" has already done this.
Of course, some models of "League of Legends" in the previous life were more eye-catching, but the quality of the various models of "League of Legends" made by Chen Mo is already very high, and there is no problem when zooming in on the camera.
[Death Knight] Galen's style is completely different from the original skin. He is wearing dark armor, with a cold light in his eyes, and the great sword in his hand has changed into Frostmourne.
In Chen Mo's previous life, this skin was considered to be a bit of a craze for Warcraft, because he didn't have an IP, so he didn't dare to make it too similar to Alsace. But with Chen Mo, this problem does not exist, because the entire ip of Warcraft is in his hands, and he can use it casually.
Galen's skin was made to look very similar to that of Alsace, which made Jia Peng very excited.
[Dragon Stalker] Vayne actually took advantage of the popularity of Warcraft. This name was originally the name of the hunter suit in "World of Warcraft". Of course, there is no "World of Warcraft" in this world, but as a relatively successful skin, Chen Mo still brought it out.
As for the skin of the eye, it's just a little snowman, it's an extra, nothing special.
Jia Peng looked at the recharge interface again. 4,500 coupons are equivalent to 45 yuan, and the value of 10,000 gold coins cannot be estimated for the time being.
He rummaged through the mall and found that these coupons could buy a medium-priced skin, and these gold coins were only enough to buy some rubbish guard (eye) skins and summoner avatars.
Jia Peng comforted himself: "Well... Anyway, these skins don't affect the combat effectiveness, it doesn't matter whether you buy them or not."
…
Chen Mo had considered the entire reward system.
Players of "League of Legends" in the previous life can get gold coins by playing the game every day, and the main function of gold coins is to buy heroes and runes.
Although there are many problems in this way, it is also beneficial. Many players enjoy the process of saving gold coins to buy heroes and runes. This is equivalent to opening the game content step by step, so that players cherish their accounts (wealth on the Internet).
In fact, it is the same reason that some card games retain players by sending good cards.
Chen Mo canceled the fees for heroes and runes out of fairness considerations, but he also considered other ways to achieve such rewards.
The two currencies, coupons and gold coins, will continue to be retained. Players can still obtain gold coins by playing the game, winning the first day of the day, completing tasks, etc., but the specific use of gold coins has undergone some changes.
