Hey /u/RiotMeddler do you guys plan on touching the jungle again for preseason, outside of adjusting items themselves

Some adjustments, nothing too massive. Stuff like changing Scuttle's defenses to a shield that falls off on CC instead of bonus defenses.
Happy Friday boss. Hope you're doing well today!
Pretty excited to see changes going through an elongated testing phase and I am finally glad to see changes to the game that are disruptive. Cadence of change is a hot topic with different opinions but I feel it has been slow. Regardless, I have a couple questions.
1) What is the stance of the team when it comes to the "power creep" argument? Does the item overhaul effectively add more damage to the system?
2) How influential was Wild Rift when it comes to the functional design of items this pre-season? I hope WR will not have an effect on design philosophy for the PC version in the long-term.
Thank you :D
We want to avoid power creep. If the overhaul adds or removes power overall we'll adjust to to compensate. In particular we don't want to change the current relationship between levels of power from kits versus items versus pregame.
Preseason item design is based off what we think is right for LoL PC players. Where possible we're looking to also have consistency with WR, make it easier to recognize the same effects in both games, unify technology etc. That's a secondary goal though, not a primary one.
u/RiotMeddler a few days ago mordekaiser mains sub said that rioter meet them and ask about morde mini rework, is that true?
I'm not aware of a Morde mini rework being considered.
What do you hope to accomplish with that change?
Better player understanding. Shields are extremely apparent and well communicated versus most other defensive effects.
I vaguely remember talk of changes to jungler enchantment so that they can get to their real items sooner. Was that a thing? Did it not pan out?
That's still planned. I was thinking about the jungle itself admittedly. It shouldn't have too disruptive an effect (no relearning the whole jungle) even if it shakes up builds somewhat.
Can you consider renaming this series of posts to In Beddler with Meddler
Just gonna casually mention I'm missing about 360 skins from my collection and also (obviously completely unrelatedly of course) that all of Meddler's posts go through me as part of the publishing process, so how much is this idea of yours worth to you?
