Chapter 320: New Version, Ranking Race (Sangen)

This video, which lasts just over 4 minutes, is a shock to everyone and has not returned to God in a long time.

“Shit? Such a high-definition CG? ”

“Cocksucker! ”

“How many heroes are there, Cardmaster, Annie, Galen, Barbarian King? But how many others don't? ”

“Is it a new hero? ”

“Awesome, go check out the new version of the update! ”

“This shit's coming up in a minute! ”

“After all, Thunder Film Studio, basic operation, sit down. ”

Compared to Warcraft and Dark God of Destruction, the Heroes League CG animation takes a completely different course in content.

Warcraft Competition, a snowstorm CG that values dramatic content, is often a key node in intercepting a famous event, displaying the essence of the drama with highly concentrated content, and every line is worth repeating.

But the League of Heroes uses multi-hero warfare as the main CG content, to some extent ignoring the rationality of the plot.

Because this MOBA game is first and foremost about the diversity and balance of the hero, the new hero is developed primarily to enrich the game mechanism, not to fill the plot.

At the same time, these heroes are all protagonists with different personalities, stuffing them all into a dramatic structure, which is really hard to do very well.

So, while the League of Heroes has since continued to emerge as well, enriching the universe and world view, players have always had a slightly weaker level of recognition of the Walloran continent than the Azeras world.

Of course, this is mainly the limitation of the game type itself.

The League of Heroes CG, although not very dramatic, shows heroic and game characteristics well, so as a promotional tool, this CG is enough to make players look super addicted.

……

The new edition of the League of Heroes is mainly updated as follows.

The first is the addition of the game CG, which was released in the previous life of Chen Jiao in S3 and is called "The Reversal of Fate". This set of CGs was chosen as the opening CGs for the League of Heroes, mainly because the heroes in it fit more closely with the original version of Chen stranger's plan. The cards, Galen, Barbarian King, Annie, etc. are all heroes already online and already have some influence in the player community.

The second is the new hero.

This edition updates a total of five new heroes, one in each location: The Wandering Mage Ritz, The Messenger of the End (Scarecrow), Katrina, Goddess of War Sylvia (Wheel Mother), Wind Girl.

Among them, the wandering magician Ritz should be a midway hero in the strict sense of the term. There are also cases where he uses it to get on the road, but there are relatively few.

(Of course, the old version of Ritz was popular in S4 and completed the 3: 0 Korean team achievement in Gogo's hands.

This release is mainly due to the fact that Ritz and Katrina are both very old-fashioned, very classic characters, and they have quite a lot of play in the CG, so they were released together.

However, on the label of Ritz, Chen Jiao has both labels on the road and the middle road at the same time for the players to choose freely.

Both Ritz and Katrina have gone through redoing, before redoing they were new heroes, and the mechanism becomes more complicated after redoing. Chen Jiao continued his previous design thinking and followed the new version of his skills directly.

Although the old version of Ritz's magic machine gun and the old version of Katrina's face rolling keyboard are all more fun, after all, it is not balanced, the higher value is too strong, the lower value is the perennial cold bench, and the play method is not rich enough.

In the future, if you have the chance, you can put these historical heroes in a wild mode alone, and not officially update them for now.

In this way, all the heroes in CG appear, except for the eternal nightmare.

Nightmare is also a field fight, which is a bit repetitive with the Scarecrow, so it's left for the next version of the development, which is equivalent to giving players some suspense.

In addition to CG and new heroes, there is a very big update: Turn on ranking mode.

In fact, players have been waiting a long time for this pattern.

In Warcraft Competition, Chen Qiao has set up a very perfect ranking mechanism, and ranking scores have become the most important yardstick for measuring player level.

Many of Warcraft's old players are well aware of the significance of this ranking mechanism for the game itself, so it's clear to everyone that the League of Heroes will have a ranking system in place sooner or later.

It's just going faster than anyone thought.

In fact, it is still a little early to start the rankings, because the League of Heroes currently has only 30 heroes. In Recruitment mode, both sides have disabled spots, and the selection of heroes cannot be repeated, and the depth of 30 heroes is slightly insufficient.

Chen was thinking about getting the players to find a clear route as soon as possible and getting the experts out of the fish pond where the chickens peck each other so they can get the game on track faster, so the ranking system was turned on.

However, considering that there are currently only 30 heroes, the 10ban model is a little too harsh. For the time being, the 6ban model is still used, that is, the blue side prefers the ban, and the blue and purple sides are each banned for three places.

The new ranking system has also generated enthusiasm among players.

At the official Heroes League forum, an enthusiastic player posted an analysis of this version of the update. After briefly analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of several new heroes, he deliberately spent a lot of time interpreting this new ranking pattern.

“I think the most exciting thing about this update is the ranking pattern. If CG is facial and the new hero is rich in game content, the ranking pattern is equivalent to giving the Soul of the League of Heroes. ”

“Anyone who has played Warcraft Games knows what I mean, and hitting the ladder and hitchhikers are two completely different gaming experiences. Stimulated by the ranking, the game's various circuits will be constantly developed and the heat will be further stimulated. ”

“Moreover, a closer reading of the ranking rules reveals that this time the League of Heroes has adopted a more sophisticated ranking mechanism than the Warcraft Games. ”

“With the new Recruitment mode, players can disable heroes, which is a test for each player's pool of heroes and to some extent avoids the appearance of duplicate rows. ”

“Large segments of the design, from bronze to king, appear to be just a change of narrative on the surface, but actually give the 'segment’ a very intuitive image, which is no longer a dry bar score. ”

“Moreover, with the concepts of promotion, small, large, etc., this ranking system has become richer and more conducive to the exclusion of luck factors and the demonstration of the true level of a player. ”

“You can imagine what segment someone asked you before, you answered 3,000 points, he would have no idea, what level is this? But if you answer gold, diamonds, or kings, the concept becomes very clear. ”

“Of course, the most important thing is that it meets my impersonal needs. Don't stop me. I'm going to fight the king in ranks! ”
