Can someone give a TLDR? Im on the train with no headphones
For anyone else there is a TLDR video here that doesn't require sound: https://twitter.com/LeagueOfLegends/status/1612464596841029632?t=gH0Wck3wv8gtZM86-3p3hQ&s=19

Can I ask who are working on the hangry jungler and the artistic midlaner?
Jungler is Kindle Jack & August. Midlaner was started by EndlessPillows but is currently being designed by Emizery, the artist is Soyjoo.
It's really impressive how they managed to film all of these videos within just the past 5 hours.
brightmoon called me at 2am this morning and told me we're responding to player feedback and made me improvise this whole thing now i'm going back to sleep thanks reddit
Artist as in painter? Cause that would be a super awesome champ iidea
As in the concept artist working on the champion
Hey Reav, you said few months ago that you can't wait to talk about next champion after Darkin, You were talking about champion with black castle teaser or other one?
Black castle teaser
What role is the assassin? Was that mentioned? I might have missed it.
Mid lane
And who’s working on the yorick’s hat update?
Idk? Probably Yorick? I hear he has descent sewing skills
LANGUAGE SELECT ADDED AFTER 13 YEARS!! QUEUE THE AHRI JAPANESE DEATH SOUNDS
Original script said, "Now you can all swap language to Japanese for the Ahri and Taric death sounds. You're welcome."
But we self-censored because the Comms team already has me on their sh*t list I'm sure. :)
Kindlejack is the goat of concept artists!
You're breathtaking
u/Reav3 Is Naafiri going to be the 200 years novel-lenght description or simpler to play? Didn't quite get which one was.
First of all I don't think ability description lengths have anything to do with how simple or complex a champion is to play. Jhin has one of the longest ability descriptions in the game but I would consider him fairly simple to play.
Naafiri is meant to be the simplest Assassin in the game. In 2021 August made this complexity matrix and we realized we didn't have a low complexity Assassin or a High Complexity tank in the game. We made K'Sante to be a high complexity tank and Naafiri is meant to be a low complexity Assassin.
That being said Assassins are one of our higher complexity classes, so I wouldn't expect a Champion as simple as Garen or Annie here, but something closer to like a Master Yi (skirmishers also being a generally higher complexity class)
Darkin champ with multiple bodies: is probably a pack of wolves
ME: RATS, RATS, WE ARE THE RATS
You forgot the abs.
They said it in such a memey way i can only imagine Naafiri doesn’t actually have a body and is just a stack of 6 abs floating around.
Damn. I thought noone was going to guess that.... spoiler alert!!!
Isn't Talon a low complexity assassin? There's nothing particularly hard about his kit and most of the difficulty around him is macro with roaming and such.
He's probably the lowest right now, but still probably medium complexity overall. Roaming is kind of a higher skill thing to understand. I think all Assassins benefit from roaming, but Talons reliance on it keeps him out of the "Simple" category imo.
Original script said, "Now you can all swap language to Japanese for the Ahri and Taric death sounds. You're welcome."
But we self-censored because the Comms team already has me on their shit list I'm sure. :)
Erika.
Erika.
I know what the people want. Subsequently I also want what the people want.
Can yoi confirm tho if you can select different audio and text language. Or will it be an overall selection where it changes both regardless.
I'm honestly not sure. I'm just a script writer :')
Hi Reav3! It's so strange to have a season start riot pls without you :(
How's it going?
I'm good! Don't worry I'll still be in future videos. Wanted to let some of the new Producers get a chance to talk to players as well
Jungler is Kindle Jack & August. Midlaner was started by EndlessPillows but is currently being designed by Emizery the artist is Soyjoo.
AHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHA
Damnit August
I mean, I appreciate seeing some new faces :)
How much say do you have in all the content that was announced? Is your new position more one of a manager/coordinator one, or do you still have the chance (and time) to go into the details of some topics?
Well the video covered a bunch of teams, and I'm just the Lead Producer of Gameplay. So I'm not involved in and of the skin/asu stuff PIE is working on. I am very involved in everything Gameplay is working on though. Some of the newer stuff I'm excited about and got rolling once I took this position isn't really ready to talk about yet though, but I'm excited to start talking about it in the future.
Hey Lexical - just as a general question, would you say Skarner is further along than this video implies? I know that this was recorded around October (according to Phlox), but it is admittedly a little sad to not have any confirmation that Skarner has solidified design/direction by now.
It was filmed a bit back. So Skarner did have a bit more progress since then. However, when it comes to R&D just because we have picked a direction, it doesn't always mean its closer to the finish line. As we discover more, some times it means scrapping everything and going back to the finishing line. . Not saying that's the case with Skarner, its just that champion work sometimes is not a direct path but bunch of winding turns till we hit the final place.
We explored a couple of design directions and opportunities in order to find one that feels right for Skarner. Generally speaking, VGUs have alot more risks to hash out compared to a new champ, its not an easy problem that can be gated by time.
Hey u/NeoLexical
How many champs can we expect this year?
Similar to previous years, give or take...
Anything Kindle Jack touch is a banger (except Mundo haircut tho)
(¬‿¬)
Any chance you are considering performance-based adjustments to LP/MMR gain and loss?
Yes we are considering those.
