Yup, ap ratio is going from 50 to 30 percent, and it's losing the bonus damage to minions

AP ratio* on minions. Still has the same base damage

Yet another LCS content banger

Howdy!

Unfortunately, for the initial run of the Arena game mode we not able to integrate Champion Mastery, Eternals, or Challenges.

The mode works differently enough from Smmoner's RIft that we need to change our approach to these systems a bit if we want them to work well. If we want to grant points, the way we do that today is very similar to the way we grant tokens: Evaluating the skillfulness of the player for that specific game.

In terms of recognizing skill, the mode will have its own rating system.

In future runs and with future modes, we do plan to make sure our systems are well integrated. Hope this helps and down to answer more questions if you have them!

The Raz cut to 'my wife' got me. So good!

When the music drops and Sadge Raz cuts in is my favourite moment.

Hey Reav3 were you the creative lead for the coming event or is that someone else since you're lead gameplay producer

I was not. I stopped working on events when I took the gameplay lead position. The gamemodes team is on the gameplay initiative though, so I was very involved in the 2v2v2v2 game mode though!

This skin line will also be Naafiri's release skin right? The little glitch with the eye at the end of the teaser looks similar to the eye found on Naafiri's dagger, and they release the same patch

Oh yeah, and Naafiri is sooo fun in the game mode

Melee or Ult?

This comment made me feel old in ways I can’t describe. Original Smash Bros for N64 and vanilla WOW is what I meant lol. I started playing League when it was in Beta…but that’s when I was in college.

Is this new gamemode gonna have ranked and stuff or is it just a casual rotating mode?

Will have a rating system, similar to the one TFT uses for HyperRoll

I had a brief, terrified moment where I thought Riot had actually named their fighting game "Soul Fighter" like some shitty shovelware game from the mid 2000s that tricked your poor grandma into buying it as a Christmas gift because you said you wanted "Street Fight or Soul Caliber" for the PS2.

Also, who's voicing the announcer? I know it's an "announcer voice" but it sounds like a LCS or LEC caster that I can't quite put my finger on.

We're instead going for Street Kombat Soul Tag Guilty Versus Ultimate Edition Z.

Normally I support the unique skins argument but you are right that this can work as well. Odyssey Kayn as an ultimate skin would have worked, too. And as much as seraphine release was a fiasco on many fronts, her skin being this kd/a tie-in was a great idea.

Agreed, Odyssey Kayn's a great example. I think even as a Legendary he gets a lot more compelling if you've seen the associated Odyssey stuff that fleshes out the world he's part of a bit more

The event thematic and associated skin line do have some fighting game inspiration in them for what it's worth :)

really hope that there is a dev blog in store for the 2v2v2v2 mode, love reading the dev blogs and the last one [Naafiri] was a blast

We'll do some stuff (I think once it's live in July, can't recall exact timing though)

Not sure if we've discussed or not. Will pass the suggestion on though!

Is there any way this is being brought in as a permanent mode (or regular and maintained mode) or is this going to be a one time thing then dumped in the "too much effort to maintain" pile with nexus blitz, odessey, dominion, treeline, etc etc

Depends on how much people play it. We really want to continue to develop it, run it regularly etc and think there's something really fun to it as a mode. But if people don't end up playing it we can't justify doing so. So crossing our fingers, but at this point what comes next will depend on player interest

Really looking forward to being able to call this thing by it's actual, straightforward name, not the 2v2v2v2 description every time when talking about it publicly....

I'll get the modes team on making some cooler code names

Yes. More details coming out next week

Ehhhh I feel having Ultimate skins be part of an existing skinline devalues them. Part of the appeal is being something totally unique. Pulsefire Ezreal is now just another Pulsefire skin and in fact inferior to them

I can definitely see the argument. The other side of things is it means we can do a large event, with a range of other stuff that builds up that same thing, makes use of the ultimate skin in other ways etc as well. Let us know what you think after the event's actually out, or at least how you're feeling after Monday's reveal of some more stuff?

summer event in all 4 games?

All four will be taking part, yeah, though to varying degrees. LoL PC will have the most stuff going on overall, though definitely worth checking out the others too
