Isn't this game just an Arena of Valor reskin though?
Isn't this game just an Arena of Valor reskin though?
No, developed completely independently!
I was saying Boo-urns!
It makes my day when people get the reference :)
Sooooo... can we link our accounts to get the champions and skins we have?
From the website FAQ:
"So basically, we rebuilt the game from scratch (like… the whole thing). Refreshed models, animations, game systems and more—but keeping true to the core League of Legends gameplay you already know. We didn’t want to just port League on PC 1:1—we want to make sure Wild Rift feels like it was designed for new platforms, and use that opportunity to make a bunch of improvements to the game. While you won’t get your unlocks from League PC, you’ll get some cool rewards for the time you’ve spent in the PC version. More to come on that in 2020!"
Ok... so please, for the love of god Boourns, give the owners of X champions on PC a discount to that respective champion, it's all I ask.
I mostly work on the in-game HUD and controls so I don't have much visibility on our plans for this, but nothing has been finalized yet.
on a computer and reconfigure the controls so he will actually play with mouse and keyboard against mobileplayers lma
For the love of God, please make it support controllers.
The console version will use the controller :)
Pardon me for asking, but with you working on the HUD and controls .. Which software background do you come from? A UX design background with a bit of programming here or there, or do you come from a computer science or software engineer background? Thanks.
My background is Industrial Design (design of physical products), but I also have a partial software engineering background and previous experience. I don't use the programming skills as much anymore though, but it does come in handy when engineers don't have time to do something that I really care about and can justify doing a lot slower than an experience developer.
Can't imagine how hard working on HUD for phones has to be. Do you guys get limits as to how many buttons you can use to make everything work?
We are constantly keeping an eye on the complexity from having more buttons (for example we have 4 abilities when most mobile MOBAs have 3). There's no hard limit, but every time we consider adding a function that requires a new button we look very hard at the value we get from doing so vs. the cost of a more complicated interface that covers more of the game space. We also look at comparable games like PUBG mobile and playtest extensively to judge whether we have too many controls.
Kudos to you for trying to work out comfortable Mobile controls. I feel so many games fail at this horribly because there’s no tactile feedback from a touchscreen like there would be from a key/button obviously.
Having said that, this looks promising. :D
Good visual feedback is one technique we use to try to overcome the lack of tactile feedback. Keep in mind that your mouse doesn't really have tactile feedback either for positioning, but you've gotten really good at putting it over a minion to last hit them. :D So tactile feedback isn't the only way to good feeling controls. I do think that movement controls are the most challenging ones to adapt to because you don't have the physical sense of where your thumb is relative to the center like you would with an analog stick. But you can always play on console if you want that experience!
