htmlNovember " League of Legends " is about to celebrate its 13th birthday. Over the years, the game has undergone great changes, especially as the player group gradually grows to its current level.
Although there has been a bad argument and view on games online in recent years, the number of players shows that this is not the case. To date, LOL is still one of the most players in the world, with monthly active players stably above 120 million in the past two years. Not to mention that League of Legends is experiencing massive growth at home. As one of the largest markets in the world, it obviously has the greatest growth potential in China.
Expanding a new direction is a double-edged sword
Riot Games does a good job of keeping the game updated and new content, so the game won't get too boring. On the other hand, through various projects, such as new games, animations, music, e-sports, etc., we have successfully brought new players to the League Universe.
However, keeping the game too fresh in the long run may hurt League of Legends development because every time they add something new to the game, the entry barrier for beginners increases.
Back in 2009, when the game was first launched, there were only 40 heroes to choose from when you were in the rankings. Everything from skills, equipment to runes, game mechanics, and more is much simpler.
Mastering the game is not very challenging because you will use it frequently or encounter all the heroes, so you will quickly understand what it does.
There are too many new heroes
There are now more than 160 heroes in League of Legends. Over the years, understanding and mastering them has gradually become more complicated, and the new mechanism that changes the game has been constantly added frequently.
With the development of the game and the progress of players, the heroes have also become more advanced. However, many LOL players believe that Riot has "overstepped the line" in the past few years. Some new heroes have too many tools in their skill pack, especially compared to some older heroes.
Learning costs have become huge
This can all be overwhelming for those who are trying League of Legends for the first time. Even if you just want to play a few heroes, you still have to learn how each of them works. Not to mention mastering other important things, such as outfits, neutral monsters, experience, summoner skills, etc.
Even experienced players who have been resting for a year or two will need a lot of time to catch up with all version changes, not to mention someone who has never been exposed to MOBA. Another serious problem that newbies encounter is matching. For example, you completed the tutorial and played several human-machine games. You have learned the basics and are ready to show your Garen skills with other players. Unfortunately for you, you may be facing an experienced LOL player who is upgrading the level of a new account under the guise of a beginner.
You just need to play the game well
So for novice players, you must be patient and play more. There is really no other way. Take the time to learn games and heroes, but try not to lose your mind. There are a lot of resources online, such as guides and tips, to help you understand the game faster and more efficiently.
Another thing you can try is to play the big fight, which is a good environment to practice heroes, but is not that serious and time-consuming. Plus, you'll be forced to play a random hero, which can help you get to know them faster.
Also, for your sanity, it is highly recommended that you enter /muteall when loading the game.
