A real cheat was blocked, and the game industry was rectified with a backhand

After leaving the group, not only did I not feel sad at all, but I felt much better.

Before, I watched these colleagues showing off every day. Although I was determined enough, I was still inevitably affected.

Now that I can’t see it, I’m not bothered by it. Instead, I feel free and happy.

My daily life is about thinking about how to improve my League of Legends skills and how to make the live broadcast more exciting.

It was already February, and the annual holiday was getting closer.

The updates to the League of Legends map version have finally stopped, and many important changes will be implemented in the PC version.

At the same time, the actions of the lightning hero are getting bigger and bigger.

The mount skin will be announced today, the hero skin will be announced tomorrow, and the hero gift pack will be announced the day after tomorrow.

Except for balance patches, everything else is released.

Seeing this, Teacher Ma became even more certain that his route was correct.

The balance of "Raiden Heroes" is very difficult to achieve!

Very difficult to do!

Does League of Legends have a balance problem? Yes, and it's a serious one.

But the situation of "Heroes of Raiden" is even more serious, because there is more than one map, and there are currently five maps that are playable!

The map mechanism is different in size and gameplay, so the heroes will show different characteristics.

There is also the existence of a shared experience value system, which is a magic weapon for a five-man team with tacit understanding!

But he is also the culprit who brings the level of experts to the same level as novices.

These were not a problem in the early days when no one knew how to play.

But as long as you have a deeper understanding of the game, these problems will be exposed.

Recently, he has observed many players complaining.

My operation was going great, but a newbie held me back and I ended up losing everything. I was totally unable to carry the game on my own.

Teacher Ma glanced at the time.

Today is February 2th, and there are only five days left until the launch of the League of Legends PC version.

It is also today that Raiden Heroes will launch its last large-scale release.

Almost all players who have previously registered a Storm Entertainment account can play this game.

It was also today that a large number of negative reviews for Raiden Hero emerged.

Open the live broadcast platform and use the secondary account to enter Natasha Shasha’s live broadcast room.

Natasha Shasha is a male anchor, but because of her feminine-style ID, she is respectfully called Sister Na by her fans.

When he first entered the industry, because they were in the same guild, Teacher Ma often played with him and brought him traffic.

In the live broadcast room at this time.

"Activate E to avoid basic attack damage, W to charge and increase basic attack damage, AAAA, time to use displacement skills! Okay, Q behind him, keep A while blocking. Rescued him? No problem, we'll catch up with him with R2 and kill him with one sword. No rush, A and two swords will refresh W to climb over the wall and leave."

In the Blackheart Bay map, a Shadow Hunter performed a series of brilliant moves and escaped with low health.

Even though he was one level behind, he still managed to kill one of the opponent's squishy heroes and picked up the opponent's doubloon.

However, the actions of one person failed to reverse the downward trend of the battle.

In an important team battle where they had to pay Dabloon coins to let the Blackhearted Captain fire, they were outnumbered five to four and were defeated one for five, thus losing the team battle shamefully.

The last wave of shells was fired and the base was reduced to ashes.

Natasha Shasha manipulated the entire game, but still lost in the end.

"My teammates are so bad, they can't even win? Oh, I'm also wondering, how can we win when our teammates choose these weird heroes? There's no coordination. Since the large-scale release of qualifications started today, the gaming environment has been too bad."

[My teammates are really bad, so stupid]

[Today's gaming environment is too bad. How can we play with so many newbies at once?]

[When will this matching mechanism be changed? I always encounter some weird things]

[This game is getting more and more boring]

After reading the comments, Teacher Ma became more determined in his thinking.

This shows the advantage of League of Legends, which can rely on operational skills and showmanship to turn the tables.

At this time, a paid eye-catching barrage in the live broadcast room caught Mr. Ma's attention.

[Sister Na, when will you help Lao Ma?]

Natasha Shasha obviously also noticed this comment, and her tone was meaningful and teasing, as she tried hard to hide her inner disdain.

"Laoma is now the top player in the League of Legends region, why does he need me to lead him?"

Having said that, he continued to select the Fallen Knight and started the game.

After these words were spoken, some viewers were unhappy.

[Old Ma took you under his wing a lot in the beginning, don’t you appreciate it at all? ]

[White-eyed wolf, I misjudged you]

Facing such an audience, Natasha Shasha also said bluntly: "What am I playing with him? Am I a "Raiden Heroes" anchor going to play CSGO with a "League of Legends" anchor? You have to understand that Mr. Ma doesn't want to play with us anymore, okay?"

Although everyone with a discerning eye had long seen his intention to transform, this was the first time he had said it so directly.

This time, it caused an uproar.

[Haha, you idiot, I hope you won’t be so shameless to ask for help after Teacher Ma becomes famous]

[We are all waiting for the PC version of League of Legends. You don’t think that everyone watching your live broadcast during this period is a fan of your lightning hero, right? ]

[If you don’t understand, just ask, is this the little anchor who was so popular back then? ]

[If you have the guts, don’t play LOL in your life]

Looking at the rhythm of the barrage, Natasha Shasha raised the left corner of her mouth, then shook her head, slowly turned off the camera and lit a cigarette.

Not a word was said.

Although he didn't say a word, his expression already showed what he was thinking.

He smoked and turned off the camera just to cover up, to cover up the mocking expression that he couldn't hide.

At this time, the game that had been waiting in line for a full five minutes was entered again.

Another weird lineup.

Seeing this scene, Teacher Ma shook his head slightly and didn't want to watch any more.

Perhaps, the large-scale release of activation qualifications starting today will be the beginning of the decline of the game Raiden Heroes.

A large number of new players will completely expose the game’s problems.

This was the beginning of the destruction of Raiden Hero's reputation.

The next day, which was four days before the start of the annual holiday, was also four days before the start of the League of Legends test.

Liu Hu has been in high spirits recently and even walks with a breeze.

The performance of the Thunder Hero is several times better than even the most optimistic estimates.

Although as the number of players increased, many negative reviews appeared in the game.

But so what?

Is there any game without bad reviews?

Aren’t there also brainless haters who don’t like Naughty Cat’s games?

With this thought in my mind, I walked into the company.

Although only half a month has passed, the size of the team has expanded.

This shows that the company is optimistic about the project.

"Morning, Director Liu."

"Brother Hu, the number of daily active players has reached 21."

"Director Liu, I have some questions."

Amidst the voices of praise and greetings, there was a discordant voice.

Liu Hu looked over and recognized that this was an employee named Li Bo.

"What's wrong? Tell me."

Li Bo walked forward with a serious look on his face and said, "Director, it's like this. After the last large-scale release yesterday, there were many criticisms from the player community, almost all of which denied Raiden Heroes."

Liu Hu nodded, not caring at all, and said, "I already know this, don't worry about it. Many of our peers are jealous of our achievements and are hiring trolls to slander us without thinking."

Li Bo was stunned, and quickly said: "It is almost impossible for the navy to mindlessly attack. But it is not impossible. But there are also many real feedbacks from players, which do make some sense. Shouldn't we improve it as soon as possible?"

Before Liu Hu could say anything, an employee who heard the conversation nearby flattered him: "Don't make trouble. Do you know more about games than Director Liu? If the director says there's no problem, then there must be no problem. The director was born into a naughty cat family!"

Hearing this, Liu Hu did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he said calmly: "Remember, I went to Naughty Cat because of my ability. I couldn't use my talent there, so I wanted to change jobs. Naughty Cat is not my end, it's just my starting point."

As soon as these words came out, the flatterer's expression froze, and then changed immediately.

"That's right, that's right. Lin Mo didn't know the real talent of Director Liu, which is why a strong rival appeared in LOL."

Li Bo felt numb.

No, before the testing of "Raiden Heroes", I was still proud of my identity as a Naughty Cat employee.

It’s only been a short while and the winners of the two MOBA games haven’t been decided yet!

Are you so impatient to remove the label?

Isn’t this a bit too hasty?

Do you think the game’s current performance has proven itself?

Li Bo wanted to say something, but Liu Hu had already walked towards his office with his nose in the air.

I can’t say what I want to say.

"Well, at least focus on the balance of the map and heroes first."

He smiled bitterly and returned to his workstation.

When Liu Hu returned to the office, he had already forgotten what Li Bo had just said.

He leaned back in his chair, not concentrating on his work.

Looking at the spacious independent office, I couldn't help but sigh.

"This is what we call work! It's not like when we were in Naughty Cat, except for Lin Mo, no one had an office."

There was a burst of joy in my heart.

The decision I made at the beginning was indeed the right one!

Now he not only leads a production team independently, but also becomes the production director, or chief designer.

This is something I would never have dared to imagine when I was a naughty cat!

"As long as I work hard, the works I produce will be no worse than those so-called geniuses of Naughty Cat."

He glanced proudly at the resume on the table.

These are the resumes of people who have worked at Naughty Cat and were screened out by HR.

Looking at those people who used to have higher status than him, now they are thinking of switching jobs and working for him.

I have been receiving a lot of phone calls and gifts these days.

A great sense of satisfaction and accomplishment fills my heart.

"Heh, Zhang Chengbo, you don't want to come, right? Fortunately you didn't come! If not, I wouldn't have this status."

"Hey, how did I accidentally make a game that beat up my old employer? I'm so ashamed."

I YYed for a long time, imagining the future of Raiden Heroes and the day when I would win the annual best e-sports award.

Then, start working.

evening.

It's almost time to get off work.

Liu Hu plans to leave early today, go home to pack up his things and celebrate the New Year.

In the age of electronic office, as long as you have a laptop, you can work anywhere.

I habitually opened the official forum and took a look at the players' comments.

Upon seeing this, his brows furrowed.

"what happened?"

The forum is in a state of chaos and chaos.

The environment is worse than ever.

Previously, thanks to the efforts of the forum administrators, all content that said bad things about the game was deleted, and even if there were occasional leaks, they would not last too long.

But now, the existence of so many posts at the same time can only mean one thing.

Something is terribly wrong!

"Shit! Wasn't it so troublesome this morning?"

Liu Hu was startled.

How could this happen in just one day?

Although there were a lot of scolding in the morning, it was still within the acceptable range. Why is it completely different in the evening?

Look at the content again.

[Fuck, I really can't stand it anymore, where do all these newbies come from? They don't fight in groups, they don't play with the mechanics, what the hell]

[Can this stupid matching mechanism be changed? Every time I queue up on a small map, I am matched with two teammates who are support heroes]

[Can we weaken the Protoss Assassin? Is balance made by dogs?]

[I played LOL and managed to win many times with my girlfriend, but I never won once when I played this stupid game with my girlfriend]

Some people complain about the matching mechanism, some complain about the gaming experience, and some complain about the strength of the heroes. Opinions vary. Everyone has different statements, and their criticisms are also different.

But fundamentally, it is because the game qualifications were released on a large scale yesterday, and basically anyone who wants to play can enter the game unless they have just registered a new account.

In an instant, it dealt a devastating blow to the gaming environment.

"Is this because old players can't rely on their experience and skills to fight five people at once, and instead will be seriously dragged down by new players in the game experience, causing word-of-mouth backlash?"

I could have ignored the negative comments of that magnitude this morning, but I couldn't do that now.

Thinking of this, Liu Hu immediately walked out of the office and saw the slacking duo who had given him a pentakill before, chatting and laughing and getting ready to leave work.

Seeing this, he walked forward with a stern face.

"Uh Director Liu, what's going on?"

Liu Hu said calmly: "Work overtime recently to optimize the matching mechanism. The time is short and the task is heavy. If you can't finish it, don't go home for the New Year. Work is more important."

The faces of the slacking duo froze and looked as pale as death.

That evening, Heroes of Thunder issued an announcement that it would optimize the matching mechanism to avoid matching new and old players together as much as possible.

The first three days of the annual holiday.

More players are entering Thunder Heroes, although the increase is obviously not as good as yesterday.

There are more negative reviews, and issues regarding game balance are rampant.

Liu Hu was a little anxious.

The game balance team also had to work overtime.

Two days before the annual holiday begins.

The number of players is still growing, and the overall number of players has almost increased tenfold compared to the first test.

However, the growth rate is further slowing down, which is obviously affected by the recent sudden negative reviews.

The day before the New Year holiday begins is also the day before the first test of League of Legends begins.

Liu Hu sat in the office, sweating profusely.

At this point, the tickets to go home had already been refunded, and the entire production team was forced to stay and work overtime.

Deal with various problems that suddenly arise after the game begins large-scale testing.

This year is not going to be a good one.

At this moment, he was being questioned by the Storm Entertainment headquarters on the other side of the earth.

"I need an explanation from you. Different servers around the world have all had reputation problems at the same time. This is not a coincidence! What I want is the reason and the solution!"

The power of the game director varies in different game companies.

Some game directors are responsible for game content development, while others are responsible for negotiating with investors or head offices, requesting people, money, and resources, and mainly dealing with administrative aspects.

In Naughty Cat, whether it is the current Zhang Chengbo, or the previous Du Rui and Wang Yi, they are all Lin Mo's deputies in the development of game content, and they will report to the boss Lin Mo on what resources are needed at the execution level.

In the current Raiden Heroes production team, Director Liu Hu is in charge of the game content development and is also responsible for administrative aspects.

Naturally, you are the first person responsible for any project problems.

He is to blame for the problems with the game.

At this moment, I finally felt the pressure on my shoulders for the first time. I felt a little flustered and a little breathless.

Why did the reputation suddenly fall apart for no apparent reason? !

What's the problem? !
