Rebirth: I just wanted to study hard, but I became a scumbag

After hearing this, Mr. Pony felt his heart skip a beat.

He realized that Su Ze had indeed held back a big move this time.

The popularity of Dota 2 in the previous life was overtaken by "League of Legends".

Mainly because the graphics and game engine of Dota itself are outdated.

As the most heavily promoted Dota-like game, "League of Legends" has naturally gained the support of many Dota players.

Even though dota2 came out later, it was difficult to learn.

Players who are used to "League of Legends" are unwilling to learn from scratch, resulting in Dota 2's popularity remaining tepid.

But now the dota1 competition is still popular.

Therefore, although "League of Legends" entered the market very early, it has not stabilized its basic market.

Su Ze's hand indeed hit the penguin's seven inches.

"However, we found someone to get the first batch of internal testing rights."

"After testing, we found that the impact on us should not be particularly great."

Seeing that Mr. Pony's expression was not very good, the game director quickly added.

Mr. Pony said with a gloomy face: "Be more detailed."

"Actually, the reason is very simple. It is too difficult to get started with Dota 2."

"After newbies join, they basically have no gaming experience."

explained the game director.

Today's life is so fast-paced, and everyone plays games just to relax.

If you only restore the characteristics of the game, regardless of the player experience.

It's also difficult to attract new players into the game.

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Xiao Ma said: "Those who can get the internal beta code now must be old players, right?"

"Will the difficulty be reduced after the game is open for testing?"

The game director shook his head.

"Not very likely."

"Objectively speaking, the restoration of Dota2 is still acceptable."

"Many game details are almost exactly the same as Dota 1."

Mr. Pony's expression softened a lot.

During the public beta of "League of Legends" before, he specifically asked people in the game department.

In terms of difficulty to get started, Dota is simply hellishly difficult compared to League of Legends.

Let’s not talk about the various weird heroes and skills.

But there are two items: "denial" and "loss of deposit after death".

This is enough to dissuade many new players.

Many newcomers play Dota for the first time, as long as the opponent is someone who knows how to play.

Maybe until the whole game is over, I only have the cheapest pair of straw sandals on me.

In other words, when new players enter the game, they are treated like pigs by old players.

Therefore, the proportion of players entering the pit is naturally getting lower and lower.

This is why "League of Legends" can withstand the pressure of Dota1 and divide the cake.

Not just the graphics, but also the difficulty of the game.

"I'm afraid Su Ze will find a way to do some local optimization."

Mr. Xiao Ma clenched his fists suddenly. He was used to being plotted by Su Ze.

In the past, he always felt that Su Ze had no chance of winning, but in the end he was still tricked.

Now Su Ze has such a big killer weapon in his hand.

Pony always has to be afraid.

"Tell the person in charge of the "League of Legends" planning team to stop acting like a monster to me lately."

"Introduce benefits as much as possible to retain players."

"If the monthly player activity drops next quarter, let them put their resignation letters directly on my desk."

The game director nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Mr. Ma, we promise to do our best to complete the tasks you assigned!"

……

Beijing, Zesheng Technology Group.

Su Ze was enjoying a nap in the office, but was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

"Mr. Su, this game doesn't work!"

As soon as Liu Ruyan opened the door, Xu Feng, the boss of the YY game, rushed in angrily.

"Mr. Su, I really can't persuade him!"

Zhou Wenming said with a guilty look on his face: "This grandson is too stubborn!"

Su Ze waved his hand, and then called Lao Xu to the sofa.

"If you have anything to do, sit down and talk slowly."

Lao Xu patted his thigh: "Dota 2 cannot be launched like this!"

"I just found someone to test it, and those old guys who came from Dota 1 simply don't treat the new players as human beings!"

"Die 15 times in 17 minutes!"

"What new player can bear this kind of grievance!"

Lao Xu was very excited.

Su Ze was able to find Ice Frog and obtain the model copyright from Blizzard.

As an old man in the gaming industry, this is an extremely rare and high-quality resource in his opinion.

But if the game is launched like this, all these resources will be wasted.

That's why he ignored Zhou Wenming's dissuasion and forced himself to ask Su Ze for advice.

"Even if the other side kills people, they still need to ridicule them."

"Not only are the enemies taunting you, but your own teammates are also scolding you."

"Players with low blood pressure are lucky, their blood pressure can reach 180 in an instant!"

Su Ze thought for a moment.

He nodded: "What you said is very important."

"We must take action immediately to solve these problems."

Lao Xu's face lit up: "Mr. Su, I have made a modification plan, why don't you take a look at it?"

Unexpectedly, Su Ze refused directly.

"Just add a reputation system, what else is needed?"

"Anyone who dares to curse others in the future will be banned directly!"

"Forget it if you taunt. It's quite normal to taunt when playing games."

Lao Xu's face was stiff.

"What about the gaming experience for new players?"

"At least add a human-machine system? Let new players fight against robots."

"No matter what, you have to give some positive feedback so that people can continue to play."

Su Ze asked nonchalantly: "Isn't that man-machine mode?"

"If you like to play against human machines, just choose the mode."

"If you put a human and a computer in the normal mode, what will happen to the gaming experience of other players?"

Lao Xu gritted his teeth: "If the game is launched like this, there is absolutely no hope of beating "League of Legends"!"

He was fierce, thinking that this would hit Su Ze's pain point.

After all, Su Ze worked so hard to bring this game back from abroad, hoping to make money.

However, Su Ze still had a calm expression on his face.

"It doesn't matter."

"What I want is the basic base of Dota. I welcome "League of Legends" players who are willing to come and play. If they don't want to come, I won't force them."

"It's just playing games anyway. You'll have fun wherever you go."

Lao Xu was speechless.

Su Ze's meaning was already clear.

The birth of dota2 was not intended to continue the glory of dota1.

Instead, they simply inherit the legacy of dota1 and live in retirement.

Lao Xu lowered his head silently and walked out of Su Ze's office in despair.

"Mr. Su, look at the way he gets into trouble."

Zhou Wenming looked helpless.

In fact, he had already told Lao Xu something similar.

However, out of the desire to make the game the best, Lao Xu still insisted on giving Su Ze a face-to-face opinion.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a disappointment.

"Lao Xu also has good intentions."

"Go back and comfort him. If that doesn't work, take a few days off to rest."

"We can't slack off on the launch of "Honor of Kings", Lao Xu must keep an eye on me."

Zhou Wenming nodded and assured him.
