Yeah, I was on the fence as to whether to do a short post this week or just cancel. Looking at response maybe cancel would have been the better call.
Absolute fridge. "This is happening next month". Jesus medler. Can you at least answer some more questions from players other than when is Garen's mini rework coming?
Few more comments there, had to run to something straight after putting that post up. Still light on substantial content overall though.
Ever since Meddler got promoted to Ghostcrawler's position, these posts have become increasingly information-free.
I think that's fair call out. I've found it harder to talk about gameplay specifics now I'm not as close to that work day to day. That's both what these posts originally focused on though and what people most seem to want to ask.
How would tanks be viable when conquerer exists?
This one at least I can respond to with a bit more substance. We'll be making some changes to Conqueror in preseason, shifting it closer to a Fervor of Battle like effect. Shouldn't be as punishing against tanky champs as a result overall.
It's because Ghostcrawler wasn't married. Meddler has been married for quite awhile and doesn't have time/care to indulge the playerbase with his thoughts.
Not a lack of caring, though I can understand if it feels that way and my apologies. Time has been harder recently I admit.
Okay so there nothing.
When will the garen Changes Go Live? I just want to play garen top again and not lose all matchups
same... but with Wukong.
don't get to spend much time each week directly with the balance or champion team devs any more for example, so I don't have the context on a lot of the specific decisions.
Okay so... can we have a name on the one working or someone who care about us (Wukong mains) ???
A designer on the champion team's taken over on the Wukong changes. He's currently doing some bug fixing, polish, balance etc while waiting on artists to free up from preseason work. I'd imagine he'll likely start posting about it and engaging with players once it's close to ship.
Would you say that runes reforged wasn't as successful as you would have hoped?
At this point I feel it was hit and miss. I do think it was an overall improvement certainly, but not to the extent we'd been expecting. We've addressed a number of things over time, with some individual runes and the initial lack of stat choice, leaping out in particular. Still a fair number of issues though we need to continue to work on.
