"Let's deduce this game."
"Deduce?"
"Yes."
"But the game hasn't been released yet, and a lot of information isn't available."
"It's okay. Let's deduce it from the public information and some of the reviews posted by some professional players."
Chen Yu asked Zou Tao to sit aside and then printed out a series of information from the computer.
"Zou Tao, the name of this game is Heroes of the Storm. The genre should be similar to League of Legends."
"Yes."
"However, from their current professions, although they are different from our warriors, archers, and so on, they are basically similar. Moreover, these heroes were basically heroes from games such as Warcraft, Starcraft, and so on. Of course, this is normal. "
Chen Yu continued to analyze the available information.
"However, there is a very special setting in this game. He removed the last soldier and even removed the last soldier."
"Boss Chen, it seems that the official website did not say that the last soldier was removed."
"Although it wasn't written, look at the reviews of these professional players. None of them introduced the last soldier. We know that whether it is our dota or League of Legends, the last soldier is an important setting. Moreover, dota has a last soldier. "
"Then wouldn't this make it easier for ordinary players to pick it up?"
"In theory, yes."
Chen Yu nodded.
League of Legends needed the last soldier. Dota not only needed the last soldier, but also the last soldier.
Whether it was the last soldier or the last soldier, it was just a skill that could be done with some practice.
However, many ordinary players' last soldier skills were not high, let alone the last soldier.
Therefore, in order to make it easier for ordinary players to pick it up, Chen Yu removed the last soldier in the matchmaking match and only promoted it in the ranking match.
In his previous life, Honor of Kings also removed the last soldier in order to allow more players to participate.
"Then, since the last soldier is removed, he is more focused on line matches and team battles. However, from the information revealed in Heroes of the Storm, they do not have the concept of equipment. In other words, heroes do not need equipment. "
"I find this very strange too."
Zou Tao was also a little surprised.
Equipment had always been the core of the game. There were very few games that did not require equipment.
"Maybe they didn't expose their equipment system."
Zou Tao thought for a moment and said.
"No, they don't have any equipment."
Chen Yu said with certainty.
"But if they don't have equipment, how can they fight?"
"It's simple. Through the Talent System."
Pointing at one of the review materials, Chen Yu said, "According to this professional player's review materials, once a player reaches a certain level of experience, the system will allocate points based on the player's talent. In fact, this is also equivalent to equipment. It's just that he's using the form of talent. "
"Won't this make it more interesting to play?"
Regarding Blizzard, Zou Tao was still incomparably guarded.
As for why they were so prepared, it was because of Blizzard's strength.
However, the Talent System that Chen Yu had deduced made Zou Tao a little worried.
He thought to himself.
Blizzard is indeed Blizzard. In terms of game innovation, it's really not comparable to ordinary companies.
Seeing Zou Tao's thoughts, Chen Yu said, "I don't think there's much to play with, although he does look innovative. However, the most acceptable thing for ordinary players is level + equipment. Without equipment, he actually hinders the entry of users to a certain extent. For example, recently, a game company had created a game with no professions, no levels, and no equipment. Although it looks fresh, its popularity is pitifully low. "
Profession, level, equipment … Although it looks old-fashioned.
But it has to be said that these three settings are incomparably classic.
Even after a few decades, these three settings still dominate the entire gaming world.
"That's not the key. It doesn't matter if there's no equipment. However, Hero of the Storm has canceled the backup and equipment. Then how is his experience distributed?"
"At present, Blizzard has not mentioned this aspect."
"Who says it hasn't been mentioned? Look at these screenshots of the game."
Chen Yu flipped out a few screenshots of the game. "Look at the levels of the two teams. One team is level 15, and the other team is level 16."
"Boss Chen, is there a problem with this?"
"No problem?"
Chen Yu said again, "Take a closer look. Everyone in this team is level 15, and everyone in this team is level 16."
"Let's look at another one. This team is level 21, and the other team is level 23. "
Comparing with the screenshot of the game, Zou Tao saw the difference.
"Boss Chen, you're saying that the level of each team member is the same?"
"Yes."
Chen Yu nodded.
If it was different, then those who had played League of Legends would know.
Some heroes developed well, and their levels would be higher. Some developed slowly, and their levels would be lower.
It was rare for all the players in a team to be of the same level.
Unless everyone reached the highest level in the end and could not level up anymore.
But obviously, from these screenshots of the game, this was not the case.
Then …
From these screenshots of the game, it could be seen that the level of Heroes of the Storm was different from the level of League of Legends.
"The level is not the main point. The main point is the way the experience is distributed in the game. Let's deduce again. The way the game experience is distributed in League of Legends is from the minions, towers, wild monsters … and so on. The game experience of Heroes of the Storm should be similar, but not necessarily. Maybe they have other ways to gain experience, such as quest acquisition, plot acquisition, map acquisition. But there is still a problem. All the heroes in Heroes of the Storm are of the same level, so there is no single hero development. I judge that all the experience in this game is divided equally among the five people in the team. "
"It's very likely that it's divided equally."
Zou Tao was dumbfounded.
He did not expect that Boss Chen could analyze so much information from just a few screenshots of the game.
Minions, levels, talents, and even the way the experience was distributed.
"Then let's continue."
"Since they share the experience equally, it's different from our League of Legends setting. Our League of Legends will have a snowball-like effect through personal development, levels, equipment, and the acquisition of money. But Heroes of the Storm should not support such a setting. It is impossible for a super awesome hero to appear in it. Unless the player is very good at it. "
"Then what will this setting bring?"
Chen Yu continued, "We know that the overall strength of our League of Legends comes from the average of the five people. Or you can't say that. Sometimes, if there is a hero who is super awesome, he can save the whole team. But Heroes of the Storm looks different because they don't have equipment and it's impossible for there to be a snowball effect. So, they are more inclined towards operation and team cooperation. Since it's a team, let's take our League of Legends team battle as an example. Often, the victory of a team battle depends on whether the hero makes a mistake or not. In other words, whether there is a trap for everyone. This is somewhat like the principle of a wooden barrel. The height that determines the water in a wooden barrel is not the longest board, but the shortest board. "
After all, it was a game that had not been released yet. Afraid of confusing Zou Tao, Chen Yu was prepared to say it simply. "To put it simply, our League of Legends can be a god carrying four pits. But in Heroes of the Storm, it's a pit that destroys four gods. "
Don't look at it as a simple sentence.
But it was such a simple sentence that would create the market situation of Heroes of the Storm in the future.
No matter how many pits there were in League of Legends, as long as there was a super god, the game could still be played.
But Heroes of the Storm was different.
Even if four of the five people in Heroes of the Storm were super gods, they would die when they encountered a godly pit.
Then … at this time, would you continue to play?
What really made the game have an incomparable experience was the five gods against the five gods.
But those who had played games knew that there were not so many gods. Most of the time, they were facing pits.
In fact, sometimes they were pits themselves.
League of Legends could continue playing when they encountered pits.
But when Heroes of the Storm encountered pits, sorry, there was no gaming experience in this game.
