Jin Jieguang let out an "Oh" and pretended to be playing the game seriously, "I'd love to hear more about it manager. I feel like there's a lot of meaning behind this hero. You must've put a lot of effort into it right?"
Chen Mo laughed and waved his hand in embarrassment, "Of course I lost some brain cells. But that's how we designers are, trying so hard to come up with ideas for the sake of the players."
Jin Jieguang said in admiration, "Yes, yes, you're absolutely right manager. You're a role model for all video game designers."
Chen Mo was obviously pleased with himself as he reminded Jin Jieguang, "You can use Q to deal damage in the early stages of the game. This skill can basically replace normal attacks."
Jin Jieguang nodded, "Alright. By the way manager, you said that this hero was designed for noobs, but why do I feel like it's hard to play? "
Chen Mo explained, "You probably don't understand. This hero can cast skills even when it's dead. Who dies easily? Noobs die easily. If you're an experienced player and can't even die once after playing for half a day, then you're basically born with one less skill, right? "
Jin Jieguang nodded, not really understanding, "Yep, that's right."
Chen Mo continued, "Also, this hero's ultimate is a full screen attack, cast on all enemy heroes. Even if you're a noob, if you see an enemy hero with low health, you'll definitely be able to kill them, right?"
Jin Jieguang looked at the description of Deathsinger's ultimate and felt that this was indeed the case.
"That's why it's a noob hero, there's nothing wrong with that," said Chen Mo.
Jin Jieguang nodded. He felt like he had successfully gained Chen Mo's trust and made Chen Mo want to show off. He would definitely be able to get more information from Chen Mo after this.
On the surface, Jin Jieguang was playing the game, but in his mind, he was thinking about how to change the topic to the design concept of League of Legends.
After some thought, Jin Jieguang decided to use flattery as a breakthrough point, "Manager, you're so considerate. You were worried that noobs wouldn't know how to play, so you designed such a simple hero for them."
Chen Mo gave a mysterious smile, "Actually, there's a deeper meaning to this hero."
Jin Jieguang was overjoyed, but on the surface, he pretended to be indifferent and slightly interested. "Ah? Really? "
Chen Mo wanted to say something, but stopped himself, "Well, this has to do with my next big plan, it's hard to say."
Jin Jieguang's heart sank. He thought to himself, Don't. I've already said it like this. Don't play with me.
Before Jin Jieguang could think of a response, Chen Mo continued.
Chen Mo stuttered, as if he was struggling mentally, "Actually, it's not a big deal to tell you. After all, you're an old player of the experience store. But remember, you can't tell anyone else, or else I'll be in trouble. "
Jin Jieguang quickly said, "Don't worry, Store Manager. I'm a hardcore fan of yours. I won't say anything!"
Chen Mo hesitated for a moment before saying, "Alright, I believe you. You know Emperor Dynasty Entertainment and Fantasy Gaming Platform have been targeting us, right? "
Jin Jieguang nodded. "Yes, I've heard about it."
Chen Mo lowered his voice, "They want to make a popular game that can dominate the PC platform, I think so too. Therefore, League of Legends' goal is to dominate the PC gaming market. As for how? "
"You've played COG before, so you should be able to tell that League of Legends has become simpler, right? In fact, simple games were the general trend, because most of the players in the player community were lousy, right? The hardcore players are pretty much all split up, so the current situation is that the bad ones will be the ones to rule. "
Jin Jieguang nodded vigorously. That was exactly what he thought. Chen Mo's words were like a piece of wisdom to him.
Emperor Dynasty Entertainment and Zen Entertainment's Project: S and Zen Entertainment's The Three Worlds both followed this idea, lowering the specs and simplifying the controls to capture more players.
Therefore, on this point, everyone's train of thought was surprisingly consistent.
Jin Jieguang asked, "So, Manager, is that why you made so many simplifications in League of Legends?"
Chen Mo paused before continuing in a mysterious tone, "Actually, League of Legends is still in its early stages. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve that I can use against Emperor Dynasty and Fantasy Football."
Jin Jieguang listened intently.
Chen Mo continued, "I'm going to continue simplifying League of Legends! This includes getting rid of the last hit and equipment system, sharing levels and kills, hiding stats, and so on. I'm going to completely eliminate negative feedback and make it a heaven for new players! "
There was a lot of information in this paragraph. Jin Jieguang couldn't help but tremble, and accidentally ran under the tower, getting killed by the opponent's computer.
Getting rid of the last hit and equipment system?
Sharing levels and kills?
Hiding stats?
That sounds like a huge change!
Jin Jieguang was confused, "Will … will that work?"
"Why not?" Chen Mo was clearly excited, "Look, League of Legends is now in its early stages. Getting rid of the negative feedback, wouldn't the new players experience be a lot better? Moreover, there's a clear composition, simplified controls, designed new heroes, and even equipment that automatically restores stats. Isn't the new player experience great? "
"Mhmm … that's true," Jin Jieguang nodded.
Chen Mo explained, "But this version is a lie to Emperor Dynasty. I can't make the game perfect right from the start, or else they'll copy me. I'll make an imperfect version first, and when they're halfway through copying, I'll make the complete version! When that time comes, tsk tsk tsk, it'll be beautiful. "
Jin Jieguang shuddered subconsciously, thinking that Chen Mo was quite the schemer!
Chen Mo didn't notice his expression, and continued to speak excitedly, "Getting rid of negative feedback so that everyone can enjoy the game. For example, if a new player's level, last hit, or equipment is suppressed, that's fine, I'll get rid of the last hit and the equipment system. For example, if a new player dies too many times, their stats won't look good. That's fine, as long as they get kills, wouldn't their stats look good? Protect the new player's privacy, and let them enjoy the game as much as they want. When that happens, there'll be an explosive increase in the number of players, and it'll be hard for the game not to be popular! "
Jin Jieguang gave a thumbs up, "Brilliant, brilliant! Store Manager, listening to the words of a wise man is better than studying for ten years. No wonder you can make so many awesome games. "
Chen Mo waved his hand, "It's nothing, it's just a little experience. Just be careful, it's not worth mentioning."
Jin Jieguang tried asking, "Then do you think the S-grade video game designers at Emperor Dynasty Entertainment will think of this?"
Chen Mo's expression turned serious, "I don't think they'll think of this. If they really think of it, it will be too disadvantageous for me. "
