A lot of people want to hear from Chen Jiao, what other negative effects does the ranking match have?

But that's when the class bell rang.

Chen Weihao said, well, well, continue with the class.

Everyone: “…”

Brother, don't say half of what you said. I really want to get you killed!

……

There are also many anchors on the live broadcast platform who have switched to Gun Warfare Chronicle, and the titles in the live broadcast room have been changed to "4000 points for live broadcasting”, “First Yumir of National Uniform” and so on.

Obviously, the results of the ranking match are immediate. In "Watch Pioneer", the popularity of some popular ancestors is difficult to measure. For example, you are particularly good at Yuan Shi, and I am particularly good at hunting the sky. We have encountered each other several times in the game. At this time, even if fans on both sides strangle, it is difficult to figure out who is strong or weak, because there is no ranking as a very clear measure.

Of course, Watchpioneer has some other criteria, such as hidden scores in matching mechanisms, combined performance in a person's career, etc., but these are ultimately not very clear criteria, like ranking.

And in the Gun Warfare Chronicle, how many points are you, how many points are you, and I'm 4,000, and you're 3,500, and you're not entitled to bb in front of me.

So both the anchor and the player are very eager to flush the ladder, and there are even a lot of well-skilled anchor choices to flush the ladder to the top of the list the day before.

And the players are all posting to each other in the forum after the final match. Or show off your performance, or start complaining about your pit father's teammates, and in the first few days, you look happy and in a very good position.

But since when does this seem to have changed quietly?

Many anchors on live broadcast platforms find their audience not rising, but declining.

“Why is the anchor playing Yumir again? Can't you play with other heroes besides Odin? ”

“The other heroes in front are idiots, these two heroes are version sons, this is ranking, don't you want to play other heroes don't you? ”

“But back and forth, it's just two or three heroes, I'm tired of watching them. We want to see heroes who can show them. We want to see you play Holy Spirit! ”

The anchor also said helplessly: “Audience, Qi Tian Dasheng, this version really doesn't show up. It's not that I don't want to play. Playing with this hero is to be scolded by his teammates, and it basically equals sending points. His output is really too weak. ”

At the same time, there are more and more angry posts in the forum.

“I'm really wondering, wasn't the optimal formation set long ago? Back and forth, just a few popular heroes, even if you don't know, just watch a few of the anchor's rankings. Why would anyone else be blind * * choosing the less powerful heroes? ”

“Yeah, obviously there was the best formation, had to choose those moth heroes, last time I saw a great saint, opened a muscle cloud to cut the rear row, lay down straight seconds, sent the whole place to the dog, the report was useless! ”

“If you really hit the dish, don't choose the output location, choose the milk honestly! ”

“Do you know how it feels to be the first to output when I'm a chick and then milk? ”

“How do I feel that this game is getting harder and harder? I used to be able to do 2,000 segments of Gary, but now 2,000 segments seem like a bunch of Bullshit Snake Gods? Either my teammates are too stupid, or my opponents are too awesome, and it feels like the top score depends entirely on fate! ”

“Not only is the upper score dependent on the fate, but even more offensive than that, you can win by clearly choosing a good line, but some orphans just don't change heroes, how can it be useless to curse. He also reports verbal insults against you, which is really pissing me off! ”

“Hey, it's still a good environment for Pioneer of the Watch. Everyone is happy to play with any hero. No one scolds you. If you want to play, you can play whatever you want. You can pretend you're okay! ”

“Yeah, I can feel it, too. Gun War Chronicle is really tired and boring. The first two days of the rankings were still hot, but now I don't want to touch any of them. ”

“Eight of the ten need tanks or milk. Let's play with the output. As soon as the wind breaks, your teammates will spray you...”

“And I really don't think the quality of this game is as good as" Pioneer of the Watch, "and it's going to go off for a while, just because it started a ranking race. And all kinds of hero settings make people feel so low, it's not as tall as" Watch Pioneer "at all! ”

“Forget it, let's go back and play Watchpioneer. Bye! ”

……

According to the saying, the Chunjiang Water Warm Duck Prophet, what is the environment of a game, what is the development trend, was first reflected in the fish pond.

Shortly after the launch of the Fire War Chronicle, the Fish Pond Board games began to get uglier and uglier, not only with rigid formations, but also with many other problems, causing a massive loss of players.

The rigidity of the formation caused tanks and nannies to become too popular, assassinated heroes to appear, and players tended to output heroes more smoothly, in which case viewability declined dramatically.

For better entertainment, the anchors had to fly a trumpet to fry fish in low segments, which also gave other players a very wrong lead, and the frying pond became a breeze.

This, in turn, further exacerbates the loss of fish pond players, spreading from bottom to top.

The number of players in the entire Gun Warfare Chronicle was already small compared to the Watch Pioneer, in which case the large loss of players even jeopardized the normal matching system.

Many players find that even fast-paced mode can't be won, and after everyone knows the best lineup in the rankings, fast-paced mode also has many people asking for teammates to change heroes, a culture that starts spreading in the game and everyone plays painfully.

All this makes the Gun Warfare Chronicle start to cool down rapidly, even the Emperor Dynasty can't understand each other, what the hell is going on?

……

Returning to the question asked by Chan, must the ranking match be a good design?

From Warcraft to the League of Heroes, rankings are undoubtedly good designs with many advantages, most people know.

But that doesn't apply to every game.

In summary, if the game is not deep enough, a ranking match is a way to give players a sense of the approximate range of their true level in the short term.
