We're adding new rank:
It's not wood.
My day is ruined.
So, no promises, but we're considering calling the lowest tier in the rating system for the 2v2v2v2 mode "Wood"...

2v2v2v2 isn’t real is it
PBE's late June, going through balance and bug fixing at present
Oh yeah do you have any updates on language swapping or is that something for a later dev update
Still coming this year, will be in a later dev update when we have specifics to share
Are you guys planning on updating PBE servers? I feel like the servers might crash when the new game mode drops, like what happened with Set 9.
We did double PBE capacity recently in response to queues for the latest TFT set. Might potentially be able to do more again at some point. PBE's not going to be able to accommodate a large proportion of the overall playerbase though, and our priority's on using it to find bugs and do late polish so that the full launch goes as smoothly as possible
I, for one, welcome my new peak being Emerald instead of Platinum. XD
congrats on your progression. I'm really proud of you
/u/RiotMeddler are those new Orianna ability icons I peep, is the team working on a new batch since its a been a hot minute since the last big update
Huh, good eye. I believe that was an accidental inclusion in the video rather than a deliberate one. Icon updates are the sort of thing we'll fit in where possible around other work, I don't believe we've got a large batch underway at once though
Don't know if you're the appropriate person to ask, but you are the person here so I'll do it anyways; It doesn't appear that the following skin stuff included in the TL;DR is actually mentioned in the skins dev article. Could that get added at some point (I know it wouldn't be immediate since y'all have to localize articles like these into other supported languages.)
Star Guardian Seraphine and Orianna will be available in Patch 13.13 and Star Guardian Senna will be available in 13.14.
Redeemed Xayah and Rakan will be released towards the end of this year.
Taliyah and Ashe will receive the next Crystalis Motus skins later this year.
Odd, will pass that on
So someone in P4 now will most likely actually start "above" where they are because of distribution? Wonder if I can get emerald from placements...
I don't want to say yes or no because that depends on a lot of factors that aren't easily quantifiable from player to player in a reddit post, but "hypothetically" yes.
The best way to think about it is your distance from Diamond should stay the same. You'll just be doing it with some Emerald colors instead of Platinum.
They have emerald in Wildrift. So they probally see the good response from that and decided to add it to league, too. Plus emerald worth more than platinum so i don't see how it break the higher rank = more valuable thing
Yep, we felt consistency across similar games in our ecosystem was pretty valuable here, so wanted to adopt the same terminology and general visual approach Wild Rift had used with Emerald that was well received. TFT will be adopting Emerald as a tier as well in the moderate future (exact timing TBD)
Ashen Knights were male. So why cant they give female champs some mythic skins too?
Also, SG skins are mostly female and they are more ports than new.
Yeah we're not going to try and force particular gender ratios for a skinline. We instead want to make sure we're going for champs that make sense with that theme, bring something new but resonant to the theme etc. Sometimes that will mean particular skin lines skew towards male or female champs
Lemme double check with the team on plans there
Current thinking - we'll try some non SR Clashes as additional clash runs and some as replacement for that month's SR one. See what sentiment and play rates look like for each approach, figure out what to do longer term
did they say anything about the Essence Emporium? I can't watch it right now
No updates on the Essence Emporium atm. We're still working on it but don't have anything to share beyond Brightmoon's post a few days ago saying this:
"We should be able to update you all on this in the next few weeks! The team has just finished a lot of under the hood changes that will make the Essence Emporium more stable & less hand-coded for each one."
When is emerald rank and no promos releasing
Mid July (same time as the 2v2v2v2 mode, Naafiri, soft ranked reset, new thematic etc)
So nothing on blue essence emporium?
Still coming, don't have an exact date to share today though
THANK YOU RIOT FOR BRINGING BACK THE PRESTIGE LIST.
Have no clue why y'all thought it was a good idea to stop. This is a lot better.
Since Akali is getting prestige again (which I don't agree with despite maining her) I wonder if KDA is coming back. Would rather a legendary so that Soyeon could voice her.
Funny enough when we started talked about bringing it back a few months ago we couldn't really find a good reason why we stopped doing it. We just kinda did? Seemed like a no brainer to bring it back after players were asking for it and then while we were at it figured we should do the same with the mythic shop.
Are you able to share anything about Essence Emporium, I thought PIE was in charge of that as well
Still underway, can't offer a specific date yet.
Wouldn’t this change feel bad for people that don’t participate in ARAM clash? So hypothetically you could miss out on July’s SR clash and then not have an opportunity to play it again until September? Or is ARAM clash separate from the normal monthly?
Lemme double check with the team on plans there
I really want master tier to be more prestigious again.
I basically gave up try harding ranked because it was not much of a challenge to stay in it as an old master tier player but impossible to get into grandmaster
It's not explicitly stated in the article but you can see it in the graph bars, the intention is for Master tier to be smaller than it is today in the next split, closer to last year's size at least. Diamond should be slightly smaller too but not by as much.
Is the emerald update going live in July or next year?
July
Next split
Yep, so mid July (20th from memory, or around there)
