There were still remnants of unfinished coffee in the white porcelain cup.
There are computers and various models placed on some computer desks. Some are heroes that have appeared in the league, and some are models that have already proposed plans but have not yet begun construction.
And even more, there are all kinds of weird things.
This is the development center of League of Legends, a gathering place for otakus.
To be honest, it is difficult for Adrian to mix with these deep-tech nerds, because in terms of computer technology, the two parties live in completely different dimensions. Even though Adrian is twenty years ahead of them, what he is ahead of is
Applying experience instead of professional knowledge, if you ask Adrian about computer programming, he can't even edit the simplest calculation program that can realize 1+1.
Therefore, when Temidal began to explain and introduce the design concept and model of this game to Adrian, those professional words immediately made Adrian's head become as big as two. Seeing Temidal calling out
When a young man with thick dark circles under his eyes and a full beard wanted to explain their design method, Adrian immediately stopped Temidal's kindness.
"Oh Tammy, don't tell me this. As you can see, my brain is not as developed as my muscles. These professional words not only make my brain atrophy more serious,
It makes no sense for me to understand any of this."
"Pfft... I'm really sorry, boss." Temidal couldn't help but laugh. Adrian's casualness and humor made him very fond of him. Although it seemed that this big financier was young, he was not.
A young and energetic guy who is always trying to be brave. That's fine. He is really afraid of Adrian intervening in the operation of the riot, because if Adrian really wants to do it, he can really do it. After all, Adrian has a huge
The investment allowed him to control 65% of the shares of Riot. To be clear, Adrian now has the final say in this company.
"Just let me see the results. It's best if I can try it for fun."
"Of course there is no problem." Taimidal smiled: "Hey, guys, let's have a 5vs5 showdown. Let the boss see what we are capable of."
Although it has not yet been officially released, the overall framework of the game has already been established. Now all that is left in League of Legends is some post-processing work, including model optimization, map settings and hero balance adjustments. This kind of
In competitive games, the most troublesome thing is that a certain hero is too strong and breaks the overall balance of the game. In a 5v5 battle situation, if there is a 1vs9 existence, you can understand this without explanation.
What a serious damage to the balance of the game.
Historically, Riot Games still had various balance problems in the initial stages of the game, but as the game got on the right track, their repeated revisions and adjustments did have the effect of balancing the game and making it more interesting.
And it has been doing well.
Because it is an internal version. When choosing a hero, all the heroes whose data has been entered in the game can be used. However, looking at the pitiful number of more than 30 heroes of various types, recalling that twenty years later, the League of Legends will have hundreds of heroes.
There are all kinds of characters to choose from, and it turns out that the road still has to be walked step by step. It's just that the appearance of the character picture makes Adrian look very uncomfortable. The Jewel Knight is just a wretched middle-aged uncle.
However, he had already understood that Americans' comic aesthetics had always been so weird, so Adrian didn't make a fuss. After searching among many heroes, Adrian finally chose the demon clown Shaco as his hero.
"Okay." During the preparation time before the game started, Adrian stretched and said, "I haven't tried it for a long time, the pleasure of eating food!"
"Boss, I swear to God, you must have played this game many times." After the game, Temidal's face was ashen. In fact, it was not just Temidal, but also the technical nerds on his team were basically like this.
Expressions, 28 minutes of game time, a head-to-head ratio of 49:13, Sako’s 35 kills, 0 kills, and 11 assists. The three Snowball sisters’ 20-all record also made these game designers completely unable to hold their heads high. Especially,
Tryndamere, the barbarian king he controlled, gloriously ended his life with 1 kill and 13 deaths under Adrian's care.
"Haha, no matter what you think, this is my real first time playing." Adrian looked up to the sky and said haha, "But Shaco is indeed a bit too powerful. His initial attack is too high, and his skills are too high."
The AD bonus is also too high. It is too strong in the early stages of the game and can easily create a snowball effect. However, the fun of this hero is also here. His survivability should be made weaker and the cooldown time of the clone should be extended.
And weakening his initial health and life growth should be able to achieve a balanced effect."
Saying this, Adrian patted Temidal on the shoulder: "Sakho is too oppressive, let's weaken the sword girl."
In the end, Temidal did not understand the inevitable connection between Sacco being too OP and weakening Sword Girl. However, Adrian also discovered some problems during the game. The balance of heroes is still a big problem. Although Adrian
An made various suggestions, but some heroes are still too crazy in certain circumstances. In addition, the model modules and map graphics are also slightly rough, far from the refinement of later generations.
Adrian immediately decided to invest another eight million US dollars to allow Riot Company to solve this problem. As soon as this news was announced, the studio immediately became a sea of cheers, and Taimidal's face turned into a bright smile.
chrysanthemum.
Sure enough, even a purely technical geek would cheer for bread and milk. And for Adrian, such an investment will allow him to occupy an increasing share of the company's shares, and future earnings will also be
It will become richer because of this.
After leaving Riot Games, Adrian returned to Los Angeles and began the journey with the team in February.
In the first game, nine consecutive visitors!
After the start of February, the Lakers will play nine consecutive away games against the Pistons, Raptors, Wizards, Nets, Hawks, Magic, Heat, Bobcats and Timberwolves. Although they are away games, the opponents are not too strong.
, among the nine opponents, the Pistons, Raptors, Wizards, Nets, Magic, and Heat were all in last season's playoff lineup. However, since the beginning of this season, the Wizards have been far away from the return of General Arenas, and
The record is slumping. The Nets also plummeted after losing Jason Kidd. The Heat were swept by the Bulls in the playoffs last season. O'Neal has been injured this season and has almost played one game and rested for two or three games.
Playing a game and resting for four or five games is spent like this. And Wade is also in trouble. So far, he has a record of 9 wins and 36 losses and is running towards the position of deputy squad leader in the Eastern Conference. In addition, the Bobcats and Timberwolves are not the same.
Any threat that might pose to the Lakers.
In this wave of even away games, there are only three teams that are considered by the media to be able to stop the Lakers by virtue of their home court advantage, namely the Pistons, Raptors and Magic. It is difficult for other teams to cause any trouble to the Lakers.
Starting from Staples on September 2, the Lakers' first stop was the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit, where they faced the opponent, the Detroit Pistons.
Although the Pistons have declined in terms of record and strength since losing Ben Wallace, they are still one of the toughest opponents in the league. In the end, the Detroit Pistons relied on their home court advantage.
, the Pistons ended the Lakers' winning streak in a thrilling manner at home with a one-point advantage of 89:90.
After being blocked by the Pistons, they went to Toronto to challenge the Raptors in an away game in back-to-back games. As a result, the Lakers, who were in poor physical condition and poor condition, were abruptly eliminated by Chris Bosh and Bargyani with a sharp three-point rain.
.
The Lakers have just started their ninth consecutive away game and are facing the unfavorable situation of losing two games in a row.
However, in the following games, the Lakers quickly reversed their decline, winning consecutive games against the Wizards, Nets and Hawks. In the away game against the Orlando Magic, they even scored a 43:13 30-point victory in the last quarter.
, reversed the score gap in one fell swoop and ushered in four consecutive victories.
After four consecutive victories, the Lakers' winning streak continues. After consecutively slaughtering the Heat and Bobcats at 118:87 and 109:91, the Lakers' nine-game winning streak has finally reached the final stage.
The last game is an away game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Before the game started, Adrian found Kobe.
"Brian, I want me to play in today's game." With no one around, Adrian directly stated his request to Kobe.
"Why?" Kobe frowned. Adrian's words were just asking him for the ball in an open and honest manner: "Have you discussed this matter with Phil?"
"It has nothing to do with Phil. To be precise, it has nothing to do with anything. I just want to leave a good impression." Adrian smiled, and his smile made Kobe's heart skip a beat:
"Anyway, this is almost my last game with the Lakers."
Quiet, completely quiet, even the whispers from the audience outside were heard in this silence. The quiet Adrian smiled indifferently, while the quiet Kobe had a strange expression.
"You know." After a long time, Kobe said slowly: "I'm sorry Ed, I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"It doesn't matter anymore." Adrian patted Kobe on the shoulder: "Everything that should happen and shouldn't happen has happened. It's not something we can decide. The NBA is a business. I've known it for a long time. In this season
I was prepared to be traded when I first started, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. I originally wanted to win a championship with you... So don't show such a face, even in Orlando, I will
It will be good, maybe better than Los Angeles." (To be continued...)
