yeah i really liked the work that u/pubg_riggles put in on that campaign
TL;DR: We're trying out something new here, both on the product side and the publishing side.
Product: Reworking big chunks of the client (plugins, ember apps)
Publishing: New transparency on exactly what we're changing + our performance targets
We're showing a bunch of data that reveals just how bad the client can be for some players. That might seem weird, but I'm hoping we'll be able to then follow up with clear, measurable improvements to those same metrics in the months to come. It's gonna take some time, so wish us luck!
riot should hire that guy tbh
ikr what a lad
Can I make it bigger yet? The tiny size of the client when browsing stuff is irritating!
Did ya try cntrl + ?
yeah. few years ago when ghostcrawler was doing streams on twitch with another rioter (forgot the name) where the community can ask question i asked them if they plan on adding more content to clubs like missions etc. and they said "yeah a lot of content for clubs comming" and nothing was done in like 3+ years so unless it's actually there, i doubt it.
Sometimes plans change—if they do, we'll tell you about it. But if we weren't pretty damn sure about this client stuff this time, we wouldn't be coming out here and showing our sorry faces lol
Can you please make the client the priority?
yes
(it is)
In the process of improving these metrics, we'll also be tackling things like bugs, crashes, etc.
This is very worrying.
They talk like making the client faster is their main goal, as if that was the problem.The problem with the client is not that it's too slow (okay, sometimes it is), but that it has more bugs than the amazon rainforest.
Be sure to check out the whole post! We know speed isn't the only problem. In the process of going after specific speed metrics (which we explain in-depth) we'll be opportunistically tackling bugs too.

Aaaaaaaand did you tell us about the "no content for clubs" change?
Checkmate, mate.
damn, now I'm gonna have to go rewatch every stream Ghostcrawler has ever been on or imma be repeatedly checkmated RIP me

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
But this sounds just like what I was worrying about.
I'm pretty sure that 'opportunistically tackling' bugs is just not gonna do it with the sheer amount of bugs that already exist and the new ones that pop up every once in a while.I appreciate you taking the time to answer me, but I feel like you missed my point.
I'll put it more directly: we're going to be reworking plugins and ember apps. These same plugins and ember apps are at the very root of the bugs you're talking about. Therefore, when we rework them, we'll be making sure we're addressing any and all related bugs.
For bugs that aren't necessarily related to plugins or ember apps, we'll be going after them too, "opportunistically."
Thanks janitor team
yw
sweeps stuff while whistling
Thought they were going to do an open source crowdfunded fixing LMAO
LOL, maybe we should, really lean into the "small indie company" meme
is it a higher priority than the 7 kaisa and lux skins for 2020 or a notch below them?
me: hey skins team, what're you doing
skins team: oh nothing, just generating revenue for this company, which covers your paycheck and the paychecks of everyone else here including the client team devs
me: oh tight, wanna stop that and learn how to fix plugins and ember apps?
skins team: f*ck off
Well, I guess you'll know what you're doing. And they way you put it now, I'm a little more optimistic again.
But I think you gotta understand why the wording that you chose to go with made me (and probably others as well) very skeptical. It sounded like you mainly care about making the client faster and not about fixing bugs.
Thanks for going a little more in-depth, I hope you'll be succesful!
We've earned your skepticism, no doubt about that. Hopefully in the coming months we'll re-earn your trust.
see you in 2025
i like this meme because it means i'll have a job in five years
Nah that guy is the WORST.
i think we can both agree that /u/The_Cactopus is worse, though
[deleted]
Totally fair. The only thing that should change your mind will be positive, forward progress.
If /u/The_Cactopus replies to me I will 100% believe everything they say about fixing client
if only it were this easy with everyone lol
I've wanted this for ages but do you think the new client could have themes? Such as onr looking like the AIR client
That is A LOT of work.
Why are they using Ember.js and creating hundreds (and maybe even thousands) new instances for simplest stuff while they could use React or Vue both newer, more performant and has a centralized control mechanism (1 instance to rule them all [*1 instance and thousands of components])?
Why hundreds of Ember.js apps?
Shortest answer, we f*****p; really bad, long story.
AnotherJS newer, more performant
Link to benchmarks repository or it didn't happen.
Selenium is tricky (not 100% reliable)
What do you guys think about https://github.com/microsoft/playwright
It's
Node library to automate Chromium, Firefox and WebKit with a single API
and its goals are
It enables cross-browser web automation that is ever-green, capable, reliable and fast.
Yeah, plus, we were expecting it to do too many things for us. It has its place and I would like us to build new and better tooling with Selenium, but this time with a few very specific objectives.
In November we began prototyping what some of our new automation would look like with Puppeteer. I was not aware of the existence of Playwright. I read their repo readme and I like it very much, will definitely consider! Thanks for the info :)
