Almighty Video Game Designer - Chapter 289

Chapter 289: A hero isn’t weak, but you’re a noob

At the end of November, the players of COG suddenly realized a problem.

It seemed that the map, COG, was not going to be updated.

The author of this map was very diligent. There would be some small changes to the balance of the values every other week. Occasionally, there would be major changes to the game’s mechanism and map layout, so that players could often play new content.

With the help of many Chinese players, the Chinese players in China were able to play the latest Chinese version of the COG map as soon as possible.

However, they did not know when it started, but the update of the map, COG, had completely stopped. There were no changes to the game’s mechanics or new heroes, and even the balancing of the game had stopped.

The players were puzzled. What was going on? This didn’t seem like Clive Lehmann’s style.

Could it be that he had encountered some kind of force majeure and had given up on this map?

Many people were discussing it.

Soon, under the pressing of the foreign players, Clive Lehman announced the latest news of COG on his social media site.

Actually, he didn’t hide it on purpose. It was probably because he had been busy for a while, so he didn’t update his social media homepage.

…

In the latest social media update, Clive Lehmann announced that he had reached a partnership with GA to make COG an independent game that wasn’t attached to Warcraft, and it was expected to meet players early next year.

This news not only caused a huge uproar among the foreign players, but it also naturally spread to China.

There was a post on Warcraft’s official forum that discussed COG that went up by more than 300 posts in one day, becoming the hottest post of the day.

“The creator of COG said that he wanted to make it an independent game? Are you trying to draw a line between you and Warcraft?”

“How do we draw the line? Too many of the heroes in COG came from Warcraft, is he planning on redoing them all?”

“He’s working with an GA! GA is such a big company, what’s so difficult about making a small map like this?”

“That’s right, this time, COG has finally found a Big Shot. At least, with the support of the GA, there won’t be any problems with research and development funds and technology. Coupled with Roman’s creativity, I feel like COG is really on the right track.”

“COG is indeed fun. I think it’s even more fun than the PvP mode in Warcraft.”

“Yeah, I think so too. COG can be said to be a completely new game. Even though a part of the gameplay is derived from Chenghai 3c, the balance and map have been greatly improved. It’s already a unique style.”

“I have a lot of friends who bought Warcraft just to play this map. They won’t even look at the battle mode.”

“Why isn’t there any movement from Chen Mo? COG is a Warcraft map, Chen Mo should have the copyright, right?”

“I don’t know. Chen Mo didn’t believe me at all. I wonder what he’s been busy with. If the GA wants to continue with their previous image as a COG character, they’ll definitely have to buy the copyright from Chen Mo. Since neither side is saying anything, it’s likely that they haven’t come to an agreement. ”

“If I were Chen Mo, I wouldn’t sell it. I’m angry, without Warcraft, where would the cogs come from? In the end, he forgot his roots and turned around to run away with the rich GA. ”

“Alright, save it. What’s the use of being angry? Other Omega have their own art team, at worst they can just redo the entire game, what’s the big deal. ”

“Hey, someone@Chen Mo on Weibo.”

“What’s the use of@Chen Mo? Chen Mo can’t do anything about this!”

“Forget it. No matter what, let’s just wait for the release of COG’s game.”

……

Chen Mo had received at least a few hundred private messages and comments in the past two days, all of them asking about COG.

Chen Mo didn’t reveal his plans for League of Legends, so he ignored all the messages and comments.

After all, it wasn’t the right time to reveal the game yet, and it wouldn’t do him any good.

In the studio.

The development of League of Legends had entered the second stage. The map, terrain, various map elements, and mechanisms were all completed. The heroes were also half completed, but some details of the experience still needed to be adjusted.

Although it was still a semi-finished product, he could already start the game with the GM tools. Playing League of Legends during break time had become a trend in the studio.

“F * ck, you old sneaky bastard, hiding in the grass and trying to trick me again, are you a dog? I’m not done with you!”

“Hurry up! That tower is about to fall. Someone go and touch it!”

“Hahahaha, three against one and he was killed. Don’t you know how to play?”

“You guys stall them, I’m going to steal the tower!”

Everyone was shouting excitedly after getting high from the fight. Fortunately, it was break time, otherwise these people might have been thrown out already.

Chen Mo felt like he had returned to the internet café from his previous life, and was surrounded by primary school students.

It was true that it looked stupid to shout when one was too engrossed in the game, but it also showed that the game was well done and the sense of immersion was very strong.

Of course, everyone was still in the xgbd stage, so their understanding of the minion line, defense tower, and hero lineup was basically zero.

Fortunately, Chen Mo had set five positions and all the Champions ‘attributes were slightly raised after the rune system was removed, so everyone’s current formation was quite organized, and there were even people in charge of jungling.

Chen Mo also encouraged everyone to play more games as a test, so that they could fix anything that didn’t make sense.

However, most of the players ‘dissatisfaction with the game was due to the balance of the heroes.

“Manager, what’s the use of Teemo? Every time I choose it as the top lane, I get despised! It’s just a lucky charm!”

“That’s right, manager. Why don’t we change it to the skin of the eyes?”

“Manager, isn’t the ice Phoenix too weak? This skill uses up too much mana and this Q-skill can’t hit anyone at all. No one’s playing. ”

“Manager, isn’t sister good luck a little too strong? Long arms, strong laning, and this ultimate move is an extremely large AoE, super long range AOE, no matter how you look at it, it’s a bit too overpowered. ”

“Manager, can you cut the robot’s hook in half …”

Chen Mo’s answer to these questions was simple,””It’s fine. There’s nothing wrong with the attributes of these heroes. You think they’re weak because you’re a noob.”

At first, everyone was very unconvinced, but after Chen Mo showed a 22-” 0-” 9 Teemo, everyone was convinced.

In particular, Qian Hua, who had been killed by the explosion while stepping on mushrooms, had left a huge psychological shadow on the hero Teemo.

There was also Zhao Yunting who complained about Blitzcrank being too strong. Chen Mo chose Vayne and adjusted Blitzcrank’s HP to 100000 and its Q-skill to 100000. Both of them were fully equipped.

In the end, the robot did not manage to hook Vayne even once.

From then on, no one complained about the hero’s poor balance.
