I wonder how long until riot tries a global revive buff for a third time
I wonder how long until riot tries a global revive buff for a third time
We've penciled it in for start of 2028
/u/RiotMeddler you mentioned you'd be able to share more about champion bio updates in this dev update. Is Xin Zhao going to be part of it, now that we will be following his journey this season, and any updates on Camille/Seraphine and other champs?
Alsowould you have any thoughts on Shyvana now that work has picked back up on her again, it'd be great to have a kick off dev blog
Camille bio - has been completed, picking a release date at present (as in, was under discussion yesterday)
Seraphine - almost updated, about to pick a release date (might bundle with Camille, TBD)
Xin - You'll see some more of Xin this season. I expect we'll update his bio at some point but that's not where we want to be primarily driving storytelling if it's possible to use other mediums or tools
Shyv - nothing to share at present
Remember when they stopped doing the winter wonderland map because it was too much work with the new dragons? Pls bring it back
As part of developing these map variants for SR, plus other stuff like Arena and Bridge of Progress ARAM, we have improved our internal art tools for making maps. No promises, but that would make it easier to do things like larger map visual changes at some point in the future
Ah yes, the yearly "inting/griefing" new detection system, just for nothing to happen, because AI cannot realistically determine if someone is soft inting or griefing.
Can understand the skepticism, we'll talk more about this one in a future update once we can share some data and specifics on what we're seeing + pick your brains on whether you're feeling any changes in game or not
Could you share with us how many new champions will be added this year? Only 1 left ?
We're doing one new champion per season. So Yunara will come out sometime in season 2 of the year, then another new champ sometime in season 3.
Mr meddler, will we see more about the darkin weapon in season 2 in terms of story, I'm not sure what is Canon and what not but I'm still hoping we will see the new darkin in season 3 ;_;
Season 2 will have some direct continuity with Season 1 in some places, plus some separate themes as well. I want to be vague as to what and where to not undercut the planned ways that stuff will get experienced/revealed. I know a lot of people will look at Spirit Blossom and assume this is a less canon season than they'd expected, there's a lot of canon Runeterra stuff going on and Spirit Blossom itself is a core part of Runeterra, even if the skins within it are then interpretations of the spirit concepts onto existing champions.
