League has a lot of layers to it. Agree with you that this is a large part of what makes it awesome. A design lead previously referred to this as "infinite parallelized learning" because people from MIT talk like that I guess. (I kid, he's very cool and smart.)

That said, it could also do a better job exposing those layers to players, teaching them which are most important when, and informing/rewarding folks for their growth.

I think we should be deeply proud of making a game worthy of people's deep attention and commitment and a little sad how tight the front doors on the fun are secured.

I've been a free tft players for years got some of my favorite little legends for free, whenever I want to buy the pass or something, I just do it. I look at all the content riot produces for free that I enjoy and I just feel like giving back in some ways. I follow lec and international LOL, tft opens, MortDog's stream, I play tft, lol and valorant for free, arcane is probably my favorite show ever and "League of legends" was my top artist in my spotify wrapped this year. I mean.. I really get my money's worth it's not even close

/salute and thank you!

The monetization for League is getting worse and worse every quarter with removal of free rewards and awful gacha mechanics.

You’re not making Arcane for the players. You’re making Arcane to appeal to and be taken serious by Hollywood and the general public. Arcane is to the detriment of the average player who has lost out in the long run.

Don’t believe the naysayers.

People who look at the world through a short term, transactional, cynical lens, really struggle to understand Riot. This has been true with various people trying to claim that high quality free games won't work, that esports will never work, that our music was insane, are now saying that Arcane wasn't awesome and worth it.

These people think we make things like Arcane to sell skins, when in reality we sell skins to make things like Arcane. Riot is a mission driven company where Rioters are constantly striving to make it better to be a player. That is why we have successfully done that over and over again across multiple games and now multiple businesses / mediums - games, sports, music & animation. Do we get everything right? Nope. But we are not focused on the short term extraction of profits - we are focused on delivering exceptional value to our audience over the long term, again and again and again.

To be clear, Arcane crushed for players and so it crushed for...

They all look dulled down. I assume it's probably the images that they used for the post for some reason being like that, rather than how they will actually end up looking.

Yeah that's correct, they're not actually dulled down side-by-side in game or client.

Optimizing the bots for new players is a hard problem, so I respect the work you guys are doing. Here are a few problem spaces that I believe need improvement:

- Wave management. The bots do not have the ability to freeze/push waves based on the state of the game. For example, being able to see the bots push a wave quickly, then rotate to secure dragon would be a valuable mechanic for new players to learn.
- Lane assignments. The lane assignments feel rigid. The lanes that bots are assigned to are the lanes that bots will generally stay in unless specific situations arise. They might head to mid if mid is being pushed in and help out for a bit, but then rotate back to their original lane assignments quickly. This is obviously very hard to get right, but for example, being able to see bots rotate for neutral objectives (e.g., Voidgrubs/Dragons) on their timers while assigning other bots with TPs/split push power opposite lanes would tea...

Thank you for your thoughts! I will share these with the team as we want to improve the bots in early Q1 to both increase the skill + improve their current playstyles. :)

Chomps, Runners, and uncrustables. Also if you have recommendations on how to improve the bots for new players, please give suggestions!

Hey thanks for the feedback! Can you give us more information on when Bots go AFK?

Specifically:
Sometimes they'll stand still and do nothing

Also, there is currently nothing slowing down their attack speed, so any videos of this would be highly valuable:
When the bots try to fight the dragons or baron, their attack speed will become slower and not able to use their skills to fight them

Also, we have a fix out for the TP problem that should drop next release :)
