Create a great era of e-sports

This is also a helpless move.

DOTA's woods, high slopes, and distribution of wild monsters all have their own characteristics. They are more suitable for the play style of position 12345 in DOTA, but they are more difficult and unfriendly to new players.

Before LOL came out, the development of DOTA was smooth sailing. After LOL came out, the difficulty of getting started has discouraged many new users.

The grass and wall gameplay of LOL looks more concise, and new users can get started faster.

When Mo Yu first created "Gods and Gods", he had the idea of ​​combining the two into one.

This method has no problem when there are no competitors on the market, because players have no other choice, and it also improves the fun of the game itself.

But as the game became more and more popular and the number of players increased, "Gods and Gods" had entered the eyes of many industry leaders, and Mo Yu had to give up.

The main reason is that the high difficulty of the middle lane affects new players.

Mo Yu had no choice but to abandon the woods and highland slopes.

In addition to the map, heroes and equipment also need to be changed.

The current dodge value of the Weapon Master is too high, which seriously affects the balance of the game. However, Mo Yu does not intend to completely delete dodge, but intends to keep it, but to weaken it.

Therefore, the weapon master's dodge passive is reduced to 3/6/9/12/15, and an effect of actively releasing dodge attacks to cause damage is added. At the same time, the dodge of cloth armor shoes is deleted, and the attacks of spring water and defense tower cannot be dodge. At the same time, the hero Skills, whether they are physical damage, magic damage, or real damage, cannot be evaded, and can only dodge normal attacks.

The second one is about the blue cat.

The blue cat shined in the Internet Cafe Tournament. It can be said that in the early stage, with the Lich's Bane and high magic power equipment, the crispy skin is almost dead. Unless it has a golden body or high magic resistance, it is really difficult to deal with and must be weakened.

So Mo Yu decided to modify the blue cat's mechanism.

Reduce attribute growth, making the blue cat's later abilities weaker.

The ultimate move Ball Lightning is no longer invincible while flying. It can be attacked and will take AOE damage, but a toughness BUFF will be added. Each time the ultimate move is released, the toughness will be increased by 40%, reducing the risk of the blue cat being controlled. duration.

After all, the blue cat is too fragile, and needs to rush into the crowd to deal damage. It can easily be controlled to death instantly.

This also makes the use of blue cats more demanding. You can no longer rush in and out seven times without thinking. You must think carefully about the landing point, otherwise you will rush in and get killed.

With this change, Mo Yu predicts that master blue cats will still be very strong, but players with low proficiency may transform into chefs to deliver food.

In addition, Blue Cat can no longer use skill attacks while flying, and must stop before releasing skills. However, it can still receive normal attacks or E skill overload, retaining the A-roll gameplay, and Blue Cat's ultimate move Increase the cooling time. There is a 15-second cooldown between each release of the first-level ultimate move, 10 seconds for the second-level ultimate move, and 5 seconds for the third-level ultimate move.

This is also for future heroes such as Fox and Kassadin.

Blue Cat's ultimate move has low short-range damage, but long-range requires prediction. It increases CD but has no usage restrictions.

This kind of change still retains the core flexibility attribute of the blue cat. The best player is still the seven-in-seven-out Storm Spirit, who can kill the enemy generals and kill thousands of soldiers. The best player can only be a bad player. .

The third one is the skill change of Blazing God King.

The original God King's W and passive are similar to Sword Demon, so Mo Yu decided to modify it.

Passive: Burning Blade: Machulis's basic attacks deal a small amount of additional burning damage (physical).

Q: Slashes the sword energy forward, causing physical damage and leaving a path of flames. Enemies who step on the damage will be slowed down and receive continuous damage.

W: Military Strength: Machulis briefly accumulates momentum, becomes immune to all physical attacks for 0.2 seconds, and causes damage and slows down enemies around him.

E: Forward: Machulis flies high into the sky and then hits the ground, causing a critical hit at the center. The edge effect is halved. Landing adds a 20% movement speed bonus for 2 seconds.

The ultimate remains unchanged.

These three heroes have the most significant changes. In addition, there are also changes to some heroes. For example, heroes such as Galen and Kotou, who have a low chance of appearing in Internet cafe games, have been enhanced.

Except for heroes.

Mo Yu is also planning to add equipment Ziyuan, increase the dodge attribute of Red Cross by 30%, and add specialized jungle equipment. Overall, the changes in equipment are also huge.

"That's pretty much the changes to the existing content. Do you have anything to say?"

Moyu surrounded the surroundings.

The number of members participating in the meeting has increased a lot, not just Huang Jiajian. Now Moyu Company has recruited many new designers.

After he finished asking, some people put forward new opinions. After discussion, those who felt that they were feasible were adopted and summarized, and those that were not feasible were eliminated.

Eventually, updates to existing content were established.

After confirming the above updates, Mo Yu talked about the server problem again.

"After this change, we will soon usher in the Jingzhou Cup, which will be another test of the balance of the game. As game designers, we are sure that many aspects have not been fully considered."

"It just so happens that the player carrying capacity of the existing regional server is close to the limit. During the evening peak period, players often need to queue up. I am planning to add two new servers for China Telecom and China Netcom to divert players."

"The original region was changed to Ionia, Zaun and Noxus were added to the telecommunications area, and Bilgewater and Demacia were added to the Netcom area. In addition, a new test server was added and open to players. , specially used to test the content that will be updated, and gather the efforts of the majority of players to help us find errors and omissions."

DOTA has only one zone, and it is the same even in 2, except that the number of players is divided according to the region, such as Southeast Asia, Xiaoli, etc.

Players can use some acceleration software to flow to servers in other regions to play games.

But in a certain region, there is still only one server. For example, there is only one national server in China. The number is too small and it is poorly maintained. This also causes players to often suffer from the problem of being unable to connect to the server and often have to wait for several hours. It's no use.

In LOL, each region has multiple regions.

However, with so many major regions, even when LOL was the most popular in China, there were still a few servers at the bottom with extremely few players.

For example, Education Network, Kalamanda, Dragon's Lair, etc.

Players are still concentrated on the top servers.

In the previous life of LOL, there were twenty-nine major regions, but Mo Yu does not plan to open too many servers. Depending on the number of players, ten to twelve will eventually be opened. This can concentrate players so that the number of players in each region is sufficient. More, it can also bring players a better gaming experience.

The launch of the test server can reduce the workload.

The launch of many updated content often has some strengths or weaknesses and some minor bugs. The open test server can allow players to help find bugs.

"Do you have any comments?"

"No!"

Everyone shook their heads in agreement.

Mo Yu nodded and then raised the final issue.

"During the Internet Cafe Tournament, the game version is not suitable for major updates, nor is it suitable for launching new heroes, but the number of existing heroes is far from enough, and it is time to launch new heroes."

"I already have a hero design plan here, now I will show it to everyone."

Mo Yu turned on the projector and put the USB disk into the computer.

There appeared on the curtain a demonic figure whose body was as black as a shadow, with a black mist under his feet and spikes all over his body.

Shadow Demon - Nemen Mor!
