It's really important for players to understand that when we announce new games, it IS the end of the world and—further—our fans should consider any non-PC game from Riot to be a personal attack on them, their families, and their very way of life.

Thanks and GGs summoners!

  • Skins team ?

and others things like that cause if 20% is only working on the balance changes and game/champion designs then it make sense

Yes to skins and cosmetics and any engineering/design/art work on the game itself. Along with marketing (that's me!)

Music is actually its own separate part of the org. Esports is separate too, and it's VERY BIG AND EXPENSIVE.

Balance team is a small fraction of that 20%. Hundreds of people work directly on League PC, and there'll be hundreds working on it for many many years to come.

Probably not? Too many shared assets.

At any rate, we don't currently have any plans to move it off.

Not a game dev in any sense but TFT uses the same engine, models, etc as base league, that’s why it’s considered a game mode. These other games are essentially being built from the ground up.

You nailed it. TFT basically uses ALL of the same infrastructure as League. That means you don't have to rebuild tons of stuff from scratch, and the humans working with the tools are already extremely comfortable with them. There are some downsides to the approach we used for TFT, but the upside is vastly higher dev speed (at least to start with).

How much of TFT is coded as a minion?

I assume all of it.
