Great read, and very welcome to have this sort of insight on mini-reworks. I had no idea the Game Analysis Team existed.

Also now enemies can see her passive stacks.

Thank f**king God. They finally swallowed their pride and caved on that one.

The Game Analysis Team (GAT) are real lifesavers sometimes (all of the time). They're great people and real value

Goddamn /u/RiotPhlox, this was a great read. THIS was the extended from the mind gameplay thoughts that we have been missing. Biggest difference I feel is that since Irelia changes is likely your work, the writing feels genuine.

I appreciated that Yetter had this impossible challenge of writing for entire teams of people at once on his own (!), and that always requires a distillation of the content to represent the larger team. But it ended up reading like singular paragraphs for the last while.

I'm really looking forward now to the future quick gameplay thoughts each dev puts out if it stays like this. Hopefully its more content, more topics, and more detail since a single poor soul is no longer burdened with the task every two weeks to come up with something.

Thanks! I really enjoyed doing this so I'm glad you all enjoyed it as well

This "diary" format is new for us and definitely enabled by the new model of rotating authors! We're not going to use it all the time - not every topic is going to be a deep dive into one specific set of changes that's been baking for a while - but we'll add it to our suite of options for sure.

Can we expect to see Lillia changes today?

If PBE deploys, yeah

Are patch summaries going to be anywhere as previously done in Twitter

There's a new Twitter account, @LoLDev I believe. That's where patch summaries etc should be

Really interesting write-up though, thank you for this insight :)

I pitched the idea of us being the 'Game Optimization Analysis Team' but it didn't take
