The video of Chen Mo's Barbarian King was uploaded online again.
The title this time was: Salent Barbarian King 0-8 with a Girl is a Disgrace to the World of Girls!
Moreover, it wasn't just videos taken by passersby. Many people also looked up Chen Mo's record in LoL, and there was indeed a 0-8 Barbarian King.
On the other hand, Li Jingsi's Vayne had a 9-1-2 record. Highest Kill, MVP, Highest Damage, etc. It was eye-catching, a stark contrast to Chen Mo's Barbarian King.
This post became a hot topic on the forums once again.
"Hahaha, Chen Mo really doesn't know how to play LoL. Saving the wounded and saving the dying, and now bringing a girl to the Barbarian King. Does that mean he's not suited for this game?"
"Wow, he was carrying a girl, but he was carried by a girl instead. What a disgrace!"
"Did anyone notice that the Barbarian King in the video didn't seem to have a single critical hit? Even with his Electroblade, he didn't even have a single critical hit. Can you believe it? Chen Mo's face must've turned black! "
"The girl is amazing, I feel like this Vayne is perfect! She's so pretty, and she's so good at the game. I feel like I'm in love! "
"Wow, I also have a crush on this girl. Let's not talk anymore, let's go!"
Chen Mo gained another nickname: Salent, the Disgrace of Girls.
This incident became a small incident on Valentine's Day, and was talked about by the players of LoL.
There were also more and more players who believed that Chen Mo wasn't good at LoL anymore …
…
On Valentine's Day, the number of active players in LoL rose again, reaching 1.57 million, and the amount of time the players spent playing the game was also increasing.
All of this meant that League of Legends was becoming more and more popular among the players. More and more players were sitting in the internet cafe and playing games for the whole night.
Of course, part of this was due to the Valentine's Day event, but a larger part of it was due to the unique nature of the game itself.
Compared to MMORPGs, MOBAs used different methods to increase the amount of time the players spent in the game.
There were three main ways for MMORPGs to increase player loyalty: exploration and collection, numerical stimulation, and social interaction.
The main method was still numerical stimulation. In order to obtain the best equipment in the current version, players would play events and grind dungeons day after day, making MMORPGs one of the most time-consuming types of games.
However, this was also the biggest problem. The best equipment would usually only drop in large-scale Team Dungeons. If players wanted to obtain it, they would have to participate in activities like going to work, and it was very easy for them to get tired.
MOBA games, on the other hand, took a completely different approach. Not only did they achieve the goal of increasing the stickiness of the game, but they also avoided the feeling of fatigue.
The biggest advantage of MOBA games was the playability of the hero itself and the uncertainty of the matchup.
Many players could play the Blind Monk and Yasuo thousands of times without getting bored. Instead, they would find it interesting. This was the playability of the hero itself.
On the other hand, the uncertainty of the matchup meant that you would always think that you would be able to carry the next round. As a result, you would meet normal teammates and noob opponents. Although you might lose even worse the next round, you would still enjoy it.
This was similar to tabletop games. Because every round was a new experience, the players would always think that the next round would be better. This gave the game a sense of anticipation and addiction.
Moreover, the nature of MOBA games allowed them to make full use of their fragmented time. Moreover, they could be played solo or in a team, which was a huge advantage over MMORPGs.
If Emperor Dynasty Entertainment was the only one that paid attention to LoL in the beginning, then after the Valentine's Day event, the entire gaming industry started to pay attention to this new PC game.
Chen Mo was in the "Home of the Big Boss Designers" chat group, and there were many people discussing it.
"Boss Chen Mo's LoL has been doing quite well recently. It seems like it became popular overnight?"
"I heard that there are over a million active players now. That's fast!"
"That many players? Which one of you went to play? What do you think? "
"It's fun, and most importantly, it's easy to learn. There's basically no difficulty at all. That's amazing."
"Yeah, it's not hard to make the game complicated, it's the subtraction. Making a complicated game simple without losing the core fun, this is where you can truly see the skill of a video game designer."
"Moreover, it seems like Chen Mo is planning to promote this game as a priority for the next period of time? I can even see the posters for LoL in an internet cafe in a third-tier city in my hometown, and there's quite a lot of people playing it. "
"Boss Chen Mo has a good eye for games. The Chinese New Year period is definitely a break. Other video game companies don't even have plans to release new games. It's great to take advantage of this time to grab the market share!"
"Is Boss Chen Mo here? Come and accept our worship! Chen Mo. "
"I don't think so, he's probably busy."
"I'm going to play LoL as well to learn! I feel like there's more to this game! "
… …
In the small circle of video game designers, those who were slightly sensitive to the length of time in a game noticed the strong growth of LoL.
Although they were shocked by the potential of this new type of game, and were envious of it, most of them couldn't do anything about it.
This was because the big companies were on holiday, and it wasn't realistic for independent video game designers to make a game in such a short period of time without any preparation.
Moreover, with so many things to do during Chinese New Year, most people didn't have the time or energy to research and develop new games.
The right time, the right place, the right people, and a little bit of metaphysics, made LoL more and more popular.
… …
February 16th, the first day of Chinese New Year.
"Xiao Mo, get up and eat!"
"Get up, don't make me wake you up a second time!"
"Get up …"
Chen Mo helplessly sat up from his bed, "Mom, I'm already 26, can you stop calling me 'Xiao Mo' all the time?"
Chen Mo's mother laughed when she heard Chen Mo, "You know you're already 26? When are you going to find a partner, I'm waiting for my grandchildren! "
Chen Mo was speechless.
It couldn't be helped, all parents of this age had unlocked a special ability. No matter what the topic was, it would always be 'when are you going to find a partner'.
