Chapter 337： The concept of MOBA games (two more)

U.S. service.

"I haven't played rts games. The earliest game into the pit is cog, but cog is too difficult for me, and I think a lot of operations are very anti-human and very unfriendly. The emergence of League of Legends really makes me With a bright eye, clear play, detailed teaching, and simple operation, I was the first to realize the fun of this competitive game!"

“Although I felt that this bright style was a bit strange at first, I soon realized that the biggest effect of this style is to relax the spirit of the player. This game is better than cog. Not tired, nice!"

“Thunder and mutual entertainment has continued their consistent level in the theme of the West Fantasy, but what surprised me is that they seem to have broken through. Warcraft is a purely Western fantasy, but in League of Legends. They seem to have joined many other cultural elements. Maybe this time their ambitions are big and they want to make this game popular all over the world?"

"Yes, the heroes have different styles, and they also take into account different cultural backgrounds, such as some philosophical weapons master Jax, traditional western magic hero Galen, as well as Egyptian mummy Amumu, oriental style blind 僧 Li Qing, etc. ""

“Great, although there are no background stories like Warcraft, but these heroes have their own characteristics and the mechanism is very rich. I think this is enough!”

European service.

“At the beginning, I felt that although League of Legends is a brand new type of game, it will definitely be as difficult to use as rts games, but I am wrong. This game not only retains the fun of real-time competitive games, but also simplifies. The operation, even my hand-disabled party can play very smoothly!"

"I feel that many of the details reflect the heart of the game, especially the matching system, ranking system, on-hook reporting and short-term reconnection, etc., can feel how much the official is determined to rectify the competitive environment, this I am very touched!"

"And, League of Legends has greatly reduced the cost of playing games between friends, and can start at any time. It supports single player mode and free team mode of 2~5 people. Each game only takes about 30 minutes. This is really It's too convenient!"

"I think ga's cog is almost the same as "League of Legends". I mean, the quality of cog is good, but obviously its design concept is outdated, it is not easy to get started, but also with a thick Rts style. But "League of Legends" has embarked on a new path, it is the real king of this game type!"

Hanbok.

"Great, I can finally find a fair game. In this game, I will match the same strong enemy. Unlike cog, it is not interesting to abuse food. It is more boring to be abused."

"I like its reporting system. So at least I can do something after being hanged by some pens that I like to hang up."

"This game seems to be very simple? Why do you think it is better than cog?"

“Simple? I suggest you play the heroes of Catalina, Blind, and Ritz. This game is far deeper than you think. At least, let’s put the ranks on the diamonds and say that the game is simple! ”

"I think the limelight of rts games will be completely robbed by this game, and it is very likely to become a pillar game in the e-sports industry!"

......

As the heat of the League of Legends burned to the world, a concept began to ferment.

"The League of Legends is a moba game."

This is a brand new concept, the moba game is the abbreviation of multiplayeronlinebattlearena, translated into Chinese is "multiplayer online tactical competitive game".

In Chen Mo's past life, the moba game is already a familiar type of game, but in the parallel world, this is a completely strange saying.

In fact, the name of the moba game is not scientific. From the literal point of view, the concept of "multiplayer online tactical competitive game" is too wide. If it is just a sly word, the game type of fps can also be attributed to this concept. Go inside.

Initially proposed this concept, in fact, is only a means of "Leo League" in order to "go to dota", because before, all moba games were called "class dota" games, which is a very popular promotion for all moba games. The name of the cockroach.

Moreover, compared to the name of the game type of mmorpg, fps, rts, the "class dota" game is not really a regular name.

So there is this title of the moba game.

Aside from the purpose and origin of this name, this name does play a very important role in the promotion of the game.

Although this name is not rigorous and not rigorous, but everyone really does not think of other more appropriate vocabulary to describe this type of game, it is not called "three-way hero push tower game"?

It’s too hard to force.

Over time, shouting much, the concept of the moba game is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The promotion of Chen Mo, in addition to redefining a type of game, is also to create a topic and gimmick, giving players a hint.

"The moba game is a new thing, everyone is coming!"

Whether a concept can be popularized, the most important thing is not whether it is apt or not, or whether the players are satisfied, but it is not enough.

Just like 3c, this name is actually much more scientific than moba, at least it tells you that there are three ways for this game; and "Semi-God" calls itself an arts. Called very professional, but there is no use of eggs, because these games are not enough fire.

If "League of Legends" calls itself "multiplayer online smashing pots and squirting games", the concept will be similar, and then spread to all similar games in the future.

......

After the overseas version of "League of Legends" was launched, it also swept the overseas market with a very strong momentum. The first day landing players exceeded 500,000, and the retention rate reached 68% the next day.

Moreover, the data is still growing.

This data is still gorgeous, which makes ga and domestic companies all dumbfounded.

Cog's designer Raman Clive has always believed that the super high retention rate of League of Legends in China is definitely a bit tricky, because this game has the same operational threshold as the rts game. It is normal for a master to slap a newbie. How can there be such a high retention rate?

However, after the overseas version of "League of Legends" was launched, ga also had to accept the fact that the retained data of League of Legends is true and the popularity is also true.

Not only in China, but in the whole world, including the US service, European clothes, and hanbok, "League of Legends" has completed the comprehensive rolling of the cog!

The domestic game designers are also very surprised that "League of Legends" can achieve such good results overseas, so that they are not expected, after all, the domestic game market environment and the international game market environment are significantly different.

They realized that Chen Mo’s goal is probably not just a battle for winning channels. This time he really wants to make a big news!
