Idk why they can't disable rating gain/lose when queueing as 8. Going to have some ridiculous wintraders at the top of the leaderboard, or maybe im misunderstanding

Yeah, that sentence is a little unclear. Groups of 8 will NOT get rating changes. Queuing as 1, 2, 3, or 4 will get rating changes.
Can you actually queue as 3? Our friend group is a trio and we wanted to play this mode together ever since it came out, but the article mentions only groups of 2/4/8.
Groups of 2 and 4 people can now queue together and choose who is on what team. We also allow a full group of 8 people to queue together, allowing them their own private match.
Yes you can. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 are all allowed. One of you will get paired with a random, although you can choose who that is.
riot maxwell, i f**king love you man, you have made some questionable champs like yuumi
but arena was just so f**king good that idc if you would make a yuumi 2.0
ok pls no yuumi 2.0 im jk, i am all in for arena 2.0 tho
Too late dog on book champ inc.
The subreddit hive mind is patiently awaiting your magnum opus champ Hwei
He better be more absurd than KSante, god knows we have been ranting about KSante for too long, we could use another new high skill ceiling champ to make rant posts about
You got it.
Have devs said anything about how successful Nexus Blitz has been? I'm glad Arena is coming back as well as RGMs in general, but I've been enjoying NB more than I enjoyed Arena. I hope NB will be back at some point (with adjustments to the current pain points).
Its performing ok, better then some past NB runs, but even that is about 1/4-1/3 amount of games as Arena had. Games are also falling off much faster then Arena
/u/Reav3 I recall you mentioning that Cameos were only supposed to be for the SF event, did they land well enough for you guys to keep them or is it only to provide additional variance
We still want to make a better objective system then Cameos at some point, but we weren't able to make one in the time between this and the last version
All good... only thing that makes me a little sad (even tho it doesnt affect me directly) is still making you gain/lose rating even in 'custom games' per say - premade lobbies of 8. This just completely invalidates people going for high ratings cuz they can all be cheesed by party of 8 people basically boosting 1 pairs elo by matchfixing every game asap. It's not a massive problem but still feels odd.
That was a typo. You wont gain/lose rating in 8 player games

I think you should make a Book on a Dog. Gotta subvert those expectations
You don't think the random when you queue as 3 is going to get griefed?
Possibly, but the alternative is to not let you queue 3 at all. If some players want to risk it to play with three, we didn't see the need to prevent them from doing so.
The article is misleading in this regard. The only line about how many you can queue with says "Groups of 2 and 4 people can now queue together".
In fact, the number 3 doesn't even show up in the entire article besides as part of your name and when writing out a patch number that has "3" in it. Could that be updated to clarify? 🙂
I sent a request, but it'll take time before it happens if it's possible.
Who’s ready for the flood of “they ruined arena”, “arena sucks now”, “I loved the first arena but now...”, etc comments?
Let's go.
i hope they finally fix the augment reroll.. rerolling bad augments just to see them again, even twice in the same round was so dumb
You should not be rerolling into augments you've seen in the same round. It will be possible to see them in future rounds.
If you queue as 8, is it random who is on who's team? Our group is happy with this no matter what method it uses, but was curious.
Our team made a new lobby design to allow you to choose who is on who's team
I'm a little confused. With augments being limited to 2 each, does that mean across the entire match? like only 2 players get the opportunity to take it?
This gamemode is awesome and I hope it stays for good some day. I don't like summoners rift and ARAM has gotten pretty stale.
Across the entire match, only two people will be able to take it. So, if someone sees it in the first round but doesn't take it, it will go back into the pool for subsequent rounds.
And thanks for the kind words!
what we’ve taken to calling v1
So it's 2v2v2v2v2 ?
