Riot Games has started a closed beta test of "League of Legends: Wildlift", a mobile version of "League of Legends" on October 8, 2020. Players who can participate in the beta test will be selected from those who have pre-registered. It seems that the number of people will be gradually increased in the future.
"Wild Lift" is a "League of Legends" for Android and iOS, so it is made to follow the PC version as a whole, but it is treated as a different title, so changes according to mobile devices Not a few.
"League of Legends" is a 5 to 5 team that destroys each other's bases on the field. In this respect, "Wild Lift" is similar.
In "League of Legends", the character controlled by the player is called the champion. The specifications have been slightly changed to match the mobile version, but this champion is basically the same. Currently, there are more than 150 champions in the PC version, but "Wild Lift" will be launched with about 40. Of course, it will increase gradually.
The big difference is the operation method. Whereas the PC version used a keyboard and mouse, "Wild Lift" uses the soft controller "Dual Stick" displayed on the smartphone screen. Since it is harder to perform detailed operations than the PC version, it is designed so that you can operate it comfortably with your smartphone, such as activating the skill with the push of a button or changing the direction of attack by dragging.
Of course, the size of the screen is different between PC and smartphone. Even a smartphone with a large screen cannot display as much information as a PC monitor. In addition, the dual stick operation makes the screen smaller because your fingers block the lower left and right sides of the screen. Therefore, it is now possible to move the camera viewpoint forward so that you can check the state of the attack destination and the progress destination while displaying the necessary information to the minimum.
Also, in the PC version, BLUE TEAM has a base in the lower left and attacks to the upper right, and RED TEAM has a base in the upper right and attacks to the lower left, but in the case of "Wild Lift", the lower part of the screen is Since it will be blocked by your fingers and it will be difficult to attack, both teams will attack the upper right and the map will be displayed in reverse.
Along with that, the names of the three roads in the field have changed. In the PC version, it was named Top Lane, Mid Lane, and Bot Lane from the top, but in "Wild Lift" it was named Solo Lane, Mid Lane, and Duo Lane.
In addition, the map itself has been simplified. There is an object called Nexus in the home, and the purpose is to destroy it. The PC version had a tower to protect the nexus, but the "Wild Lift" does not. The effect obtained when defeating the "Dragon" that appears on the map has also been improved, and you can expect faster game development. There are many changes in item-related items, and jungle and support items have been abolished. New items from "Wild Lift" will also be available.
In addition, since "Wild Lift" is not a port of the PC version, the champions and ranks collected in the PC version cannot be carried over to "Wild Lift", but by linking it with the Riot account, the time when the PC version was played and We plan to offer advantages according to the amount of money spent.
"Wild Lift" is scheduled to be released on consumer devices, but we are also considering cross-play, etc., and it seems that we can expect cooperation with the smartphone version.
I was interested in "League of Legends", but I can't play it because I don't have a PC! I think there was a person who said. Even such people will be able to easily touch "League of Legends" on their smartphones with the advent of "Wild Lift". We recommend that you apply for the closed beta test first and give it a try.
