League of Legends Lecture is an opportunity to learn about the popular video game, eSport, and culture from one of its most active players and coaches, NicoThePico. Throughout the course you will get a more in-depth understanding of the underlying mechanics, role & meta of the game as well as the best practices for improving your own gameplay.
Before the millions of players, billions in revenue, and eSports tournaments that reach 100 million spectators, there was the tiny team at Riot Games who had to figure out how to make their game work. It was a year of terror, wild leaps of faith, and the relentless pursuit of quality.
The most important decisions in League of Legends are not about flashy moves or high KDAs, but about the things that will decide whether your team wins. Often these are primary objectives, such as taking down the enemy base or destroying all enemy champions. Other times they are secondary objectives, like achieving a gold or silver bounty on a champion or finishing off an opponent.
In order to understand how these decisions are made, we surveyed more than 18,000 League of Legends players using a self-report questionnaire on motivational regulation. We developed a typology of motivations to socialize, finish tasks, and compete, and correlated them with various gameplay metrics. The results show that minor fluctuations in these motives already shape the League of Legends player experience toward more adverse or more positive outcomes. 롤대리
