Whether LoL version 2 is developed by Riot or not, we cannot confirm for sure, but if so, here are 5 suggestions for Riot about what to do to develop LoL 2.
The rapid development of the League of Legends in nearly 10 years is admirable. It has come a long way, from a small game run by an independent studio to becoming the most popular game in the world. But League of Legends also began to show its “downhill”. Although Riot Games has tried its best to keep the game fresh, small updates cannot help League of Legends develop and escape the current framework. Usually, the next big step in the development of the game will be a completely new version: League of Legends 2.
Until now, Riot Games has never planned a game like LoL 2. They have a lot of reasons not to do it: part 2 can break the player community which is already a It is possible to unify and thereby make the player’s experience with both parts much worse. And the method of updating each part of Riot through patches is quite clear at the present time.
However, if Riot releases LoL 2, then this will be 5 great things that we all want:
1. Upgrade technology for games
The first thing that Riot Games needs to do is upgrade the technology to increase processing speed for next generation games. The game has never been designed to take advantage of the latest generation CPU or GPU. As the hardware technology has improved, the distance will be larger. At some point in the future, League of Legends may lag behind other games in terms of visuals or performance, so the game will no longer be interesting.
To do this is not simple. Riot not only needs to update the game’s new specifications, but also ensures compatibility with older devices so as not to lose veteran players on low-end devices. It is quite difficult for Riot’s team of developers and design teams, which requires a completely new game – and this is definitely difficult to implement in one or two updates.
Better technology, such as higher frame rate (FPS), better visual visualization, even integrated VR Virtual Reality technology, can be set up for the next generation of players. Who knows, maybe in the future Summoner’s Rift can be downloaded on platforms other than PCs and they can make it easier for new players to access the Game.
2. Delete all existing errors
Any major changes to the way the game works may require new code and Engine. And that could be a blessing, looking at how the game’s code was built over the years like a mess of garbage.
Perhaps in Part 2, Warwick’s Mechanic will once again become smooth (mechanic: actions that control generals, move, use skills in a battle). LoL 2 will be a great opportunity for Riot Games to think about how to develop and make a new mechanic and put code to support it.
3. Make the champions more interesting
Riot has done a great job in recent years when trying to create new stories for champions, connecting them together and making the Alliance universe become closer. The Bilgewater event is a great addition to the game’s fictional history, and the update linking Yasuo and Riven together is an interesting story.
However, there are still shortcomings in the reenactment of legends on the Client. We want to see more quests and characters, more unique rewards and more integration of generals’ legends into Summoner’s Rift. It will be interesting to unlock these event regularly, not only when events occur. It will also provide players with more motivation to play.
4. Develop Esports
Along with constantly evolving matches, is evidenced by new franchise structures and recent funding agreements for esports content. But the game actually limits the number of fans who can interact with esports content.
Riot has made major changes to the technology behind broadcast programs in the past year, from Chronobreak – a rewind tool for 360-degree Playback stages or recently, a Pro View feature that helps viewers see What gamers are seeing. LoL 2 can achieve much more, like allowing viewers to control and replay themselves for more information about the match. Things like turning near the forest or the accuracy of the skill will help to better understand players and fans of the League.
Another major innovation is the improvement of the tournament field that professional players can use to practice. It provides players with more data, more analytical tools and a variety of ways to practice more specific situations.
5. Refresh game modes
The general disappointment of LMHT fans is that the Summoner’s Rift map games often take too long – up to 40-60 minutes or even very long. While fast-paced game modes like Twisted Treeline or ARAM seem to be forgotten and don’t get much attention from Riot’s balance and development team.
Maybe in the future, ARAM and Twisted Treeline will be combined into one. Summoner’s Rift can continue to be modified to be more suitable – Riot can add automatic surrender every few minutes when the gold gap exceeds a certain milestone, then the game will automatically vote “Have”.
Besides tweaking the existing game modes, we are also looking forward to the new game modes that will appear in the future. It will be great that these new game modes will break the Top-Jung-Mid-Bot meta like the present, opening a new era with more unique and creative fighting styles.
