I'm not going to lie, it took a long time for MarkZ to win me over, but Catching Up With Doublelift finally did it. This is definitely the best of the "non-analysis" content LCS is putting out.

We did it 🙏

I hope these are not only because of the cinematic outrage and that they won't be cut back once people are calmed down.

Nope! Here to stay until y'all start hating them 😉

Woah there, at 0.01%, to impact a million players, you'd need to have 10,000,000,000 active players, which honestly would be really impressive.

But I do get what you mean, 1-5% would impact a large amount of players, and good on you guys for waiting this long to roll that out.

The number was bigger than .01% lol

I'm honestly kinda surprised that they still ship a 32 bit executable. Like they said: 0.01% of their players are affected by them dropping it. They literally waited until basically everyone dropped it before they made the jump.

Good riddance too. Gets rid of a bunch of legacy code that might do more harm than good.

Worth noting that because of the sheer number of people that play League even a small percentage of the playerbase using a certain spec usually means hundreds of thousands if not millions of people impacted when we no longer support that spec

Reading this I was struck by just how crisp and clear the communication was. This felt like reading an internal exec status update memo.

Most of the other games I play would absolutely kill to ever get communication like this - but League players are just totally blase about this.

Thanks! We're going to continue putting TL;DWs out with dev videos for the foreseeable future. The first one we did I sent to like 10 people to figure out what else I could cut since we wanted to get the key bullet points across with no filler.

This one required a little bit of extra context because of some of the updates (quick play isn't exactly self-explanatory).

We'll keep iterating on these, dev blogs, and dev videos moving forward to try to make them as clear and upfront as possible.

Champies will return! We have many currently in development - but the timing of BEE's return will determine how many new ones make it into the shop!

How it exactly works is that you pick 2 Preferred Champs and Positions. These have to be 2 different champs and 2 different positions. Then you will have to pick one "priority queue" champ/position. The positions for that pick will change depending on what roles are currently low pickrate. You will get one of your preferred picks a majority of the time but in order to make queue times are quick we need to make sure we can fill the lower priority positions when needed.

Any plans on introducing non-randomised short gameplay modes or changing SR rules for QP to make the games slightly faster? As IRL caught up to me and started eating my time I've realised that I can only really comit to short queues like Nexus Blitz or ARAM. Except, aside from NB all those short queues have random champ selcets, which sucks if you want to play specific champs.

Its certainly a interesting thought. If quickplay ends up a very popular way to play its entirely possible we make more changes to the mode to better serve the audience that ends up loving it

It's like they go too deep into the metrics-based storytelling and forget that having a wide range of variety is a strength and that there are people who love some of their more subdued stories.

They already went and completely discarded the old duty-bound and noble iteration of Galio and built this merry-go-lucky I'm A Hero character, and this post almost sounds like a threat that they are planning on doing the same to Skarner.

In regards to crystals, it's like they limited the idea of crystal to it being a material and disregarded the whole soul and magic element that is tied to the Brackern crystals. A crystal heart, with blood that becomes crystals when it's spilled, with claws and sting of sharpened crystal - none of this approaches would conflict with earth elemental magic, but imply a mastery over it that humans are not capable of replicating.

Like metal bending or lightning bending, a stone that turns into a crystal is the "going further beyond" stor...

I think my intentions is not to say that Crystal Scorpion is a bad idea or that it cannot ever be done. However, it was a story that we DID tell and a theme that we DID do in the first rework. What data did tell us is that beside a few vocal individuals that deeply loved the theme, majority of the player base cares very little for the theme.
It would be highly illogical of me to ask the team to revisit that exact combination and expect something better than the previous version because that would mean I have made the assumption that:
1) Crystal Scorpion is the best theme out there for a scorpion champion
2) The previous team, though with their longer experience, did a worse execution on the Crystal Scorpion thematic and that our newer, less experienced team can do better!

Removing the limitations of theming, story and baggage means the team can focus on how to deliver on a more cohesive character than struggle through the problems.
