Yeah. I started “smurfing” because my P4 account could no longer play with my S2/1 friends in ranked. Luckily they’re all in gold now so it doesn’t matter anymore. But this season it didn’t even make a difference. I’m ending provisionals in P4 on the Smurf accounts, but ending provisionals in gold on the main. It makes zero sense logically. I don’t play any differently.I lose just as many games in silver as I do plat.

The fact of the matter is that most games are coin flips. I had a streak of 5 losses in a row where my bot combined (5 game total) was around 20kills-80deaths it’s just insanity when you can regularly have people in any elo that get behind and just decide yep, I’m done trying and have 15+ if not 20+ deaths and receive no punishment.

If I would have chosen it'd likely have been bard or aatrok. They filled the majority of my recommendations

Why does Riot have multiple people working on similar systems? Not very scalable.

Also, taking the opportunity here to ask: If one wanted to join Riot to work on such internal systems, which roles from the website would be most appropriate? Really appreciate an answer, if you know.

Thanks for the insight. Are you guys still using Tricaster for your switching?

Have you considered straight-up modding the Spectator UI? Or is that what you are already doing when you mention you built something from the ground up?

Just by looking at it, 90% of that HUD can be achieved with basic asset swaps, the scoreboard, Champion Portraits Frames, HP/Mana Bars, fonts. If 90% of your HUD was running natively in League wouldn't it be more stable? All you have to add is the things that the Spectator don't give you, like the XP bars for each Champion, gold different between laners, etc... making it much "lighter" and not such a big deal if it fails since most of the UI remains the same.

I know it can be done because I have extensive experience doing it, and you being Official Riot should have even easier access to UI asset swaps, if you need an intern to do it, I'm right here lol

For remote play, wouldn't it be better to have even longer delay so that the broadcast would have more freedom to skip the pauses? Or is the issue that with longer time delay, the results get leaked before the 'livestream' finishes?

It doesn't feel good when LP seemingly arbitrarily starts clamping, with no real benchmarks for when it improves, as an example. This pushes people to hop accounts, or "smurf", because the main drive behind playing ranked for the past half-decade has been getting LP, not actually improving or enjoying challenging games; just an endless grind for LP.

Thoughts on this?

This is the #1 Reason why all my friends and I stopped playing Ranked and probably a massive catalyst in regards to Smurf Accounts.

Whether or not it's true, it feels genuinely horrible to know that I could play the exact same quality & quantity of games on 2 Accounts and only see meaningful LP Gains from the New Account because Riot's System has "Settled" on my Main Account.

No incentive to play Ranked on my Main Account whatsoever.

A triggered graphic would be perfect for it. (Or since you are planning to have different HUD arrangements in the future, it could be part of one of these new HUD scenes before a big teamfight)

Obviously you guys have a lot of other features to manage and making everything stable for live broadcast is no easy job. I want to thank you for all the work you do. The LEC HUD has been awesome and it's great to hear it's getting even better. Kudos to you and the team and I am looking forward to see your future work!

Hey there! I'm John Depa, the Executive Producer of the LEC!

Was lurking around Reddit and saw this post. I have experience with this— so I can definitely chime in! Ahaha.

I'll start with why things go wrong. Super TL;DR - A lot of reasons that are not related to the game, and it's getting better with time!

We've been talking about building an improved HUD since 2018. For a few years, we utilised a graphics system called Viz Trio (which we use for most of our other show graphics) to design and render our HUD over the game, but we found that it was ultimately too limiting for what we envisioned for a great HUD display for our game. And so, after awhile, we decided to simply build a new tool from the ground up to run our HUD. We test this tool regularly whenever we roll out new features, but ultimately, because we're building it ourselves, we don't benefit from the sheer amount of user testing that larger graphics systems benefit from. This is what ended up ...

what about a system that catches afks more than just "no input in 30 seconds"? People stutterstep in fountain and system doesn't detect. It feels so good to know there's loss mitigation, but you didn't get it because the toxic one "dribbeled the system" by rightclicking once in 20 seconds.

I don't have question but a suggestion for a feature that I think will be really awesome to see in LEC. I posted it a couple weeks ago in a different thread but I'm afraid I was too late and it got burred in the comments. Here it is:

What I'd like to see is a total gold spent on combat items for each team stat.

Currently we have the total gold accumulated by each team during the course of the game at the top of the screen but that stat can be misleading at times - since it also counts gold spent on consumables like pots and wards, and gold that players have in their inventory that doesn't contribute to anything at that moment.

What I want is literally a stat that adds up all the gold spent on COMBAT items in player's inventories. This stat will be super useful to see before a teamfight starts as it will clearly show which team has the advantage. So for instance if a team is ahead let's say 10k gold total but didn't base before a teamfight and has 5k of that ...

During the pandemic, pro play moving to non-stage games, did the structure and approach to technology change after Covid-19?

It seemed like problems, most commonly game pauses, technical issues, delays got amplified and multiplied even after pro play returned to the stage.

Was there technology that you started using during the pandemic and then just stuck to it once the whole thing started going back to normal?

I mean, you probably had seen the reddit posts regarding the new HUD, but just in case you hadn't:
It is really great and all you guys did a superb job with it! The viewing experience of LEC is SO much better because of it. Keep up the good work :)

You should honestly just use the default League replay/client display names like "G2 Caps" instead of doing the weird overlay that changes it to "Caps".

It makes them look less like one cohesive unit of a team and it looks more solo queue-ish, if that makes sense.

I also feel like there's also some weird artifacting around the names as they currently are.

i didn't know you guys built that from scratch, that's cool, thank you for your work haha

and btw, is this a LEC product only or are you receiving help from the "tech" side of Riot to use this tool in other broadcasts?
