Every once in a while, we will see similar questions, why doesn't The Glory of the King launch female tank auxiliary heroes, and now that 2022 has arrived, the Glory of the King will soon usher in a new hero, a new assassin is officially launched, and the female tank role is still far away. After all, the current wild position is the core of the game, the recent KPL autumn champion is also the wild position, the assassin field is often more handsome to play, whether it is with a sister or the field is very popular.
When it comes to the least played position in the game, it is definitely an auxiliary position, and many players are reluctant to fill the tank hero. Huan is the 108th hero in the game, and the last auxiliary hero is Master LuBan in November 2019, and if you go back further, it is the 92nd hero Yao. That is to say, Glory of Kings has not produced an auxiliary hero for a long time.
Not only the release speed of auxiliary heroes is very slow, tank heroes are also quite rare, the last tank hero is Agudo in the wild position, Agudo was not a tank gameplay when it was just released, in recent years, the real sense of the new tank hero, may only be the second master brother Pig Eight Commandments, which is why the designers redoed the incorruptible reason, they hope that more players choose tank heroes. Although there are some girls who play tank heroes, from the perspective of big data and surrounding statistics, this player type is still relatively small. There are very few handsome male tank heroes, let alone female tank heroes, which are simply scarce in the King's Canyon.
Sara personally believes that there may be several reasons for this.
The first is the high proportion of leisurely players, and The Glory of kings is the first national-level mobile game, which excludes leisurely chess and cards such as fighting landlords. MOBA games are actually a relatively complex genre, but it is not easy to achieve the glory of the king, the game attracts people of different ages, the proportion of female players and leisurely players is very high, they may not have the experience of other MOBA games. Many players of this type like to lose their skills far away, feel that standing in the front row of the line is a very dangerous thing, and think that it is very painful to be attacked by others, and this sense of substitution is very strong. Therefore, a very large number of players do not like to play melee heroes to eat damage, they are afraid of death and do not like to be beaten, naturally will not choose tank heroes.
The second is the homogenization of the image of the positions, the heroes designed early in the game are relatively monotonous, and the hero characteristics of each position become facialized. When it comes to the heroes of the middle road, they are basically female characters, and the heroes who fight the wild are often handsome and stinging, and the heroes of the side road are all kinds of big men. Of course, the designers also tried to introduce different images such as Charlotte the Golden Cicada, but their new heroes in the past two years have been too slow to release, unlike the stereotype of a new hero every month in that year, which cannot change the stereotype of a hero in five positions in a short period of time. And the speed of the king glory is now slower to release new heroes, each new hero is more cautious when making, often choosing more eye-catching and safe design solutions, Lan's popularity is obviously higher than that of Meng Tian Sikongzhen.
The third is the appearance standard of the tan position, any game design character has a set of ideas, and the glory of the king is a continuation of the traditional thinking, linking the hero's physique and character characteristics with the role positioning in the game. This causes some heroes to look very strong and fleshy, they must be tank heroes, such as Zhang Feibaiqi and the like. This mindset still exists today, and perhaps designers think that a female hero with high looks is unlikely to be a tank hero, which leads to mainstream tank auxiliaries, all of which are macho men or monsters with large waists and round waists. Master Lu Ban is a good start, Sara feels that the design team should let everyone change their taste, male players also like high-value heroes, such as AOV will replace Bai Qi with the little sister Meina.
The fourth is the conflict between ideals and reality, the glory of the king has tried to add some attractive tank roles, Mi Yue Chang'e Mengqi initially had tank positioning, but their half-meat playing style is too strong, after the development of the high-end game was weakened, after being cut in the low-end game can not play, the counterexample is Zhong Wuyan's multiple reinforcements but become pure output. Agudo is a very good design, but how to guard their own wild area, how to quickly turn the line to push the tower, whether the group can flexibly use the big move, the operation is much more difficult than the three sisters of the grass, and it is difficult to produce carry and satisfaction, naturally it can not be popular.
The fifth is the influence of mainstream play, in the high-end rounds and professional arenas, the tank auxiliary fault tolerance rate is higher than the soft auxiliary, the king glory of the line period is relatively short, the auxiliary needs to actively travel and give vision. In many matches, the auxiliary has to assume the responsibility of opening the group to resist injuries, but also to be physically beaten to the field of vision, soft auxiliary heroes are often unable to do this, which leads to discrimination in many matches. Some auxiliary players are not willing to sacrifice for their teammates, and prefer soft auxiliary heroes who run after letting go of their skills, after all, they can still take MVP with their KDA beautiful, and they can also spray a teammate dish when they die less. In particular, the designer has changed the auxiliary equipment many times, the auxiliary players are basically getting poorer and poorer, the inferior game has no damage and no frankness, and the overall game experience is relatively poor.
It is that Sara has played the game for so many years, and it is really assisted by the tank that most female players like, only Zhuang Zhou has an example, after all, the good-looking theme is interesting, and after being beaten, it can be fully withdrawn, and it is easy to mix to the head of the assist. However, The Glory of kings already has 107 heroes, which is a special hero of Zhuang Zhou, and in this version, it can only be used as West Schonter, and its own strength cannot be a general choice. Glory of the King really needs more eye-catching, and relatively simple operation of tank heroes, in order to make more leisurely players willing to play aids, appearance is justice, although it is the truth, but simple violence is the most important. Yun Miao and Mulan are too difficult to get started, and no matter how good they look and play, they are not as popular as Milady Zhenji.
Of course, sara is not sexist or AOE, I like to watch the two female anchors, one is a hundred stars side road cheap, one is the glory of the duan Ma Chao, but not every player has so much time to delve into the game, the girls around me often look at the appearance of the hero, the main play character likes some simple operation of the french hero. If there is a high-value tank auxiliary that is not easy to die, and the skill must bring positive feedback, then it will definitely gain a lot of fans in the player group. Hopefully, in 2022, designers can optimize the experience of female players playing tanks and bring some cooler secondary heroes.
