[2019] Clash really needs a 3rd place match | League of Legends Dev Tracker

Original Post — Direct link

Currently if you win your first clash game and then lose the next one you're out. BUT if you lose your first game and then win your next game you get to still play another game. That means that you can lose the 1st game and still win 2 games after that, giving you a 2 win clash orb.

However if you win the first game and then lose the next game you only get a 1 win clash orb. So you get a worse orb for having the same winrate over the first 2 games and performing better in the first game.

Riot could easily fix this by adding a 3rd place match.

We have heard this a lot during this round of betas. Definitely something we are considering

Shameless plug but is it possible for an option to toggle those fancy animations in clash? It nearly crashed my client just to load the bracket animation as well the result animation slowed my pc down drastically but everything else about clash worked and was great.

We can check it out. All of our testing shows that the animations have almost no impact on client performance so something weird must be going on.

Will this be the case when clash comes out of Beta?

Absolutely.

Just wanted to say that my friends and I had a blast playing the last tournament in our region(OCE) and can't wait for it to return. Thanks for all the hard work, clash is really a different experience that you can't normally enjoy with the more casual friends.

That's awesome. We had a blast playing in NA and it's great to see players finally having a good experience

Can we get some additional info like this somewhere? Best way would be directly in client, before clash or during it.

It would be also nice to get additional info like what happens when you disconnect during champ select, can you restart client etc. My client today kept using 10-25% CPU by itself on 8 core Ryzen and I couldn't do anything. Everything was delayed and we ended up with having to play Diana support and Janna jg. We won but we should definitelly have some info what to do in cases like this. Or if we even can do something, like restart client etc.

Here is the FAQ which I believe is linked in the client

Is it all champions are unlocked? I thought it was "if a champion is owned by at least one player it's unlocked", which would make teams of 5 smurfs less likely.

Nope. All champions unlocked for everyone.

Can I make a couple of suggestions?

A) setup a way for players to register to look for clash teams by geographic locale. I think it would be fantastic if we could have city, neighboorhood, etc based teams

B) A dedicated Ranked 5s queue (not flex) for practicing with your team between tournaments

C) Team roster > 5, so substitutions can be made on the fly. Obviously everyone has to be invited before tournament starts, limited number of subs, etc but subbing without replacing players entirely would be nice.

Sure! Always down to hear suggestions. We have been looking at better ways in client to find teams and create rivals. Don't know if it will be in for launch but it's on the radar.

A dedicated practice queue is also in talks. If Clash remains popular, this is likely.

As far as substitutes, I don't know if we will bring them back. We don't want players changing between games within a tournament, and since we aren't doing 3 day tournaments anymore, subs is not really needed. We'll keep watching to see what people are saying, but right now it's unlikely subs will be back.

Is there a chance that in future clash versions, you guys change the shedule of the start of games? My team always play 1 clash game and then we leave :(

Schedules are always in review. I would expect some variance when it comes out.

Hey, barging in here to ask if this weekend counts as regional testing or global beta? As from the /dev from may global beta would be the last step before launch (if it all works)

This is a regional test

The new AP item Bloodletters Curse is heavily gold handicapped compared to cleaver, but the fact that it can only affect one target that you cant choose is a complete joke.
