-Inside the experience store-
Zou Zhuo threw his headphones on the table and stood up excitedly, "Wow! I got Diamond! I got Diamond! Hahahaha! "
Zou Zhuo's excitement didn't attract too much attention. Most of the players just glanced at him before continuing with their game.
Indeed, getting Diamond wasn't an easy feat for normal players, there was nothing wrong with being excited about it.
His friend next to him congratulated him, "Congratulations fatty, keep working hard and you'll soon reach Challenger!"
Zou Zhuo calmed himself down and sat down, "Geez, I can't look forward to that. It took me so much effort to get Diamond, it'll be too hard to get Challenger. But I feel like LoL gets harder the further you go, it's scary how deep it is. "
His friend next to him didn't quite understand, "Hmm? How should I put it? "
Zou Zhuo said as he looked at his achievements, "I thought LoL was much easier than Warcraft at the start, but it's only later that I realized that the higher end of the game isn't any easier than Warcraft."
"How should I put it, the two games are different. It's clear that Warcraft has hit the ceiling, which is that your hands and brain can't keep up. You need faster hand speed, reflexes, and better judgement. You'll know that it'll be hard for you to keep going after a team fight because of your poor mechanics."
"But it's not so obvious that you've hit the ceiling in LoL. Many people will feel like they're at least Platinum or Diamond, but they're stuck at Silver or Gold, so they'll blame it on their teammates."
His friend next to him was confused, "Isn't that the case? I don't think there's any difference between Gold and Platinum in terms of mechanics. "
Zou Zhuo shook his head. "Of course, some people can make it to Platinum, but there's a limit to 'making it'. You're a noob. You're only at the Gold level. Even if you had a God to guide you, you wouldn't be able to become a King."
"That's where the depth of LoL is. It's not just about mechanics and mechanics, it's also about your awareness. If your mechanics are good, you can carry better by playing the C position, but if your mechanics aren't good, you can still play some of the weaker heroes to gain more points. "
"Like many of the people I've met, their mechanics are quite average, but they persevere in playing heroes that don't require much mechanics. They can still get points by relying on their awareness."
"The higher the level, the more you can feel those gods. Their train of thought is especially clear. They know what to do at what time, how to snowball when the wind is favorable, and how to delay development when the wind is adverse. There is so much to learn."
"For example, the manager. Look at his super high win rate at King of Glory. Mechanics are only one aspect. Mechanics can't cure all problems, because you can't guarantee that all your teammates know how to play, right? There's still a chance that you'll meet an idiot occasionally."
His friend added, "But when the manager plays ranked, his teammates don't dare to cheat him, or else they'll get banned."
Zou Zhuo: "… That's what I mean. The manager's understanding of the game is too good. His videos have been studied over and over again, including where he appeared at what time, how his teammates commanded when the wind was favorable, and how they commanded when the wind was adverse. It's like he's grasping the opponent's mentality. "
His friend beside him had an expression of "I've learned my lesson".
"Speaking of which, where's the manager? I want to share my good news with him! "Zou Zhuo logged out of his account, turned off his computer, and went to the lobby on the first floor of the experience store.
Chen Mo was sitting on the sofa, reading a book.
Zou Zhuo sat next to him, "Manager, I just got diamond! Wasn't I awesome? "
Chen Mo glanced at him and said, "Then you're really awesome. But if I remember correctly, the highest rank I set was King of Glory, right? "
"Wow, you're so good at dealing blows to people's morale!" said Zou Zhuo.
Chen Mo patted him on the shoulder, "You're still a long way from playing professionally, winning championships, opening an online store, and marrying a rich and beautiful woman. It's not good to be so full of yourself just because you got diamond."
Zou Zhuo was speechless.
Chen Mo continued reading.
Zou Zhuo suddenly thought of something and asked, "Manager, Ancient Calamity has been getting a lot of hype lately, are you really not going to pay attention to it? I heard that the statistics for this game are pretty good. "
Chen Mo didn't even raise his head, "Have you played it?"
Zou Zhuo shook his head, "Of course not. I'm a loyal player of Thunderbolt Games, why would I play a pirated game like this?"
"It's fine, you'll know after two weeks," said Chen Mo.
Zou Zhuo was a bit confused, "Really?"
…
Emperor Dynasty Entertainment. Jin Jieguang was walking quickly towards Lin Chaoxu's office with a serious expression.
Two weeks after Ancient Calamity was released, the statistics for the first time started to decline. Although the number of active players and time spent online were still increasing, it was obvious that the increase was slowing down.
On the other hand, the statistics for League of Legends had been increasing faster and faster, with no signs of decline at all. This made Jin Jieguang very cautious.
Although there weren't any major declines yet, the phenomenon itself wasn't normal. Jin Jieguang wasn't sure how serious the problem was, so he immediately reported it to Lin Chaoxu.
In the office, Lin Chaoxu looked at the statistics Jin Jieguang handed him and said after some thought, "Did you find any problems with the gameplay? Did you do a survey? "
Jin Jieguang replied, "I did, but overall, the satisfaction level was pretty good. The players who weren't satisfied couldn't say why, they just felt that the game was boring, or that they couldn't show off. "
Lin Chaoxu thought for a bit, "So you're saying that the top players aren't satisfied?"
Jin Jieguang nodded, "You could say that. Because the current mechanics of Ancient Calamity increase the strength of the noobs, there won't be situations like COG and League of Legends where you can take on five players at once. "
Lin Chaoxu furrowed his eyebrows, "Can it be improved?"
Jin Jieguang looked troubled, "Definitely, but it seems to conflict with the original design of Ancient Calamity. If we increase the snowball effect, the top players will be able to kill the noobs through the snowball effect. That's like going back to the path of League of Legends, which isn't good for expanding into the low to mid market. "
