Recently, the League of Legends s11 is in full swing, and compared with the previous national carnival, this S11 is much flatter. I have to say that compared with the peak moment of the original League of Legends end game, today's League of Legends end game feels cheap and old.
From the world's most popular online game, to today's declining popularity, league of legends terminal games are not lost to themselves, but more like lost to time.
In recent years, the fist company has made a lot of efforts around the League of Legends IP, launched a virtual idol to play the second dimension, launched the animation of the same name, gave back to the fan group, and various new heroes and new activities are not less, but still can not stop the loss of popularity of the League of Legends. The recent launch of the League of Legends mobile game national costume has not brought new vitality to the end game, but has ruined the last line of vitality of the end game.
Why can't the end game be updated to stop the loss of players?
The decline of the world's first online game is also a true portrayal of all online games in some aspects. Today Fat Sea wants to talk to you about how the League of Legends, which we opened together in those years, has gradually declined.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > game changer and toppled the old throne</h1>
The emergence of League of Legends has a strong mark in the entire history of online games. As World of Warcraft swept across the world, it took the traditional RPG online game to an insurmountable height. How to break through the shackles of World of Warcraft has become a problem for all game companies to think about.
At this time, the predecessor of League of Legends, Dota, has actually quietly emerged among a small number of players. Although it is only a custom map, the fast-paced gameplay and refreshing combat experience shown by dota bring attraction that is different from traditional role-playing games.
At that time, because Dota was only a custom map of Warcraft, copyright issues became the biggest obstacle to Dota promotion. In 2011, league of legends represented by Tencent officially entered China, when Tencent in order to promote league of legends, the main publicity point is its inheritance of dota game mode, automatic matching of professional battle nets, talent rune cultivation system as the publicity selling point.
In Tencent's view, the main target users of League of Legends at that time were players of dota games, and did not expect that the emergence of League of Legends would completely change the domestic online game landscape.
World of Warcraft set a record of 13.1 million simultaneous online in August 2009. At that time, the players of World of Warcraft were almost all over the earth, and where there were people in the world, there was the existence of World of Warcraft. At that time, this was already the insurmountable peak of online games.
Since then, World of Warcraft has ascended to the throne of online games and become a landmark existence.
No one could have imagined that a few years later, league of legends made by one of dota's founders, Sheep Knife, would have reached a terrifying 27 million players online at the same time. A game circle of change, just quietly struck. League of Legends overturned the old throne and became the world's first online game.
Tencent also began to become the first game company in China with the success of League of Legends.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" > from peak to decline, what did League of Legends do wrong? </h1>
There is a fundamental difference between the success of League of Legends and the success of World of Warcraft.
Tencent relied on league of legends to turn Blizzard's long-term desire to do successful e-sports into a huge game industry. A game has leveraged hundreds of billions of markets, and many industrial chains such as professional competitions and game live broadcasts have presented a thriving scene. The influence brought by League of Legends is far beyond the original World of Warcraft.
When the world of Warcraft was hot, it was deeply involved in various negative social opinions. The success of League of Legends has brought about an ecological market of hundreds of billions. Game companies, clubs, city hosting rights, match live broadcast rights, and other industries have all earned a lot of money by relying on League of Legends. League of Legends' momentum reached its peak, a game that surpassed Blizzard's efforts for more than a decade and brought e-sports professionalism to the arena of the Professional Games.
Professional players have also become star-like characters and have been loved by countless players. There are countless online games in the world, and only League of Legends has really achieved such a huge influence. League of Legends has single-handedly changed the market landscape of the entire game circle.
But no matter how great the game is, there are still times of decline, and League of Legends is still no exception. Recently, League of Legends s11 is in full swing, but its momentum has long been less massive than at its peak.
League of Legends online numbers are also declining, and it seems that competitiveness doesn't stop players from leaving the League of Legends world. What did League of Legends do wrong, and why did it still have to walk off the altar on that day?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="43" > esports is a double-edged sword</h1>
The success of League of Legends, eSports has played a big role in it. But in some ways, the competitiveness of League of Legends has also become the biggest obstacle to the return of countless old players.
In order to ensure the attractiveness of the game, League of Legends must constantly introduce new heroes to attract players. But the constant emergence of various heroes at the same time also makes the balance of the game an increasingly difficult problem.
What competitiveness needs most is the balance of the game. To do this, Fist had to spend a lot of time adjusting the various heroes in the League of Legends league. Enhancing, weakening, and reworking have all become common experiences for League of Legends players.
For the old player, a hero who was difficult to train was suddenly changed beyond recognition, and he could only practice a new hero again. This makes the appearance of new heroes For players, the game experience does not increase, but continues to decline.
The constant adjustment of the game also makes many old players who want to return feel strange, and they do not have the energy to familiarize themselves with different rules. Most importantly, as a competitive game, League of Legends focuses on teamwork.
However, when players who have experienced the opening of black friends, they will find that in fact, due to the difference in the level of the game between friends, the situation of five blacks in the later stage is often less and less, but it is mainly a single row.
After a long time in a single row, I slowly grew tired of the game. After all, for ordinary players, the level of technology has a ceiling. It cannot be improved indefinitely, and once the bottleneck period is reached, the game experience will plummet, and without the company of friends, the situation of abandonment will continue to appear.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="59" > where the future League of Legends will go</h1>
E-sports has brought League of Legends its most glorious moments, and also allowed League of Legends to have its own limitations. League of Legends will inevitably decline, and the emergence of League of Legends mobile games, it is the fist that also feels this helpless resistance.
However, in the world, the League of Legends mobile game does not have the same influence as the original end game, but it is only one of the countless mobile game masterpieces, and its influence can no longer be compared with the end game.
Fist in the past two years, suddenly began to blossom in multiple lines, creating a variety of League of Legends spin-off games. On the one hand, it is to continue the vitality of League of Legends, on the other hand, it is also to maximize the utilization rate of League of Legends IP. Fist also knows that the decline of the League of Legends is unstoppable, and no one knows where the next League of Legends in the game circle is.
Although the chicken eating game is very popular and the professionalization is also very good, it obviously does not reach the height of the original League of Legends. Whoever can replace League of Legends as the new king will always awaken when the king appears. The League of Legends mobile game will ruin the last glimmer of life of the end game until the League of Legends gradually disappears from our field of vision.
