Will you discuss secret Arcane VGU in the next dev blog?
We will in the next dev update yeah (which should come out shortly after the Arcane finale)
Outside the arena with the massive crowd in the cold night air was a genuinely magical experience. Me and my best friend screamed our lungs out that night.
That’s where my friends and I were too :)
northern california is the best place in the world when you don't have some nerd from arkansas yelling that it sucks into your ear
They’re just jealous of YAY AREA 🤧
Or pertaining to my preference of a better overall package of a story like I have written?
If I were to list out every aspect of 2022, there would be a lot more to unpack than just “underdog,” but you’ve chosen to reduce DRX’s story to just one word while at the same time extrapolating T1’s story to include as many possible details and angles.
And aside from all that, there was a lot more going on than just DRX in 2022 and T1 in 2023/24.
That’s subjective. 2022 is a better underdog story but I personally liked 2023/2024 better as an overall story. It has the whole package, like literally from redemption arc of 7 years of Faker/T1 not getting a trophy, to Faker getting subbed out in summer due to injury and the team slumping, to being the only Korean team agains all 4 LPL teams while playing on home turf, to stopping the golden road of JDG, to Faker getting revenge on Ruler with THE shuffle play.
Seems like most of your reasons for preferring 2023/2024 pertain to your fandom of Faker?
Didnt we say this about 2022? and 2023 (ignoring finals) and now 2024?
I highly recommend you check out the GBay documentary on the Faker vs Deft rivarly going up to 2022-
2022 was easily better than either 23 or 24.

Not to generalise, but esports pros tend not to have the same hefty brawn as their more physical counterparts
They don’t know about the bros Swoldenglue and Sveltskeren
Going to Worlds Finals in 2022 was one of the greatest moment of my life

Oof, Lexi being in this hurts a bit considering she was hit by the recent layoffs :/
We had already filmed when everything happened. But Lexi and I talked, and I ultimately left it up to her whether or not she wanted to be in the video.
We didn't want to erase the hard work that she put into Ambessa, or minimize her impact. I will let her speak for herself if she wants, but on my side (as the person owning the video), it was a decision only she could make. <3
There will be some updates in 14.23 including some adjustments to bounty accumulation in general and how bounties are tuned for losing team.
We have a lot of improvements coming for the Riot client: https://x.com/MarcMerrill/status/1854357796185088386
they used to be rather common and people didnt like them lol
Nah, people loved them (they just need to be well executed)
Why are they even using different VA's?
Given the Arcane tie in we did consider using Ella Purnell for the english voice acting here. The (at the time) pending voice actor work stoppage though created some challenges there. We concluded it was best to use Jinx's in game voice actor instead for this one, which both ensured we could hit the Arcane 2 release date deadline and gave consistency with in game Jinx which we figured is also pretty well loved.
Is this a trailer of a game in the client, like Aurora's one previously?
Yes
Glad Worlds was a fun experience for you!
Another redditor gave a really good answer (@sillyfella3). I have a couple other things to add:
Players tend to find a role that fits their style before they find a champ that really suits them. Try out the different roles (top, jungle, mid, support, ADC).
Play against bots on different difficulties. LOL is very complex. You’ll get better against human players the more familiar you are with what each champion can do - that way you can anticipate their actions. Your first several games will be just about learning your own moves.
Read! Seriously…some of the ability descriptions are long. Hard to play your best when you don’t know your full kit.
It’s okay to lose. You just saw one of the best teams in the world lose to T1. It literally happens to everyone. It will happen to you a lot. Find the fun in your steady improvement and in moments you did really well (even if the ...
3 eras:
2013 - 2017 (5 years, 3 titles, 1 finals but you can break it down from 13-14 and 15-17)
2018 - 2021 (4 years, 2 missing worlds and 2 semis)
2022 - 2024 (3 years, 2 titles but you can argue 2021 part of it)
That second era is pretty rough
Yeah, it's a video game that's well past its expiration date.
The game has more addicted to playing it than those that actually enjoy playing it.
I follow pro play in highlights and threads, but haven't watched a full match in like 5 years and watch less and less vods every year.
Why do league players think a game should last forever?
Do all competitive games or sports have an expiration date?
It's an old ass video game, people are just generally losing interest.
All sports are old as hell at this point
Losing interest? Viewership records are being broken year on year.
economic downturn and gaming restrictions for minors, no ones talking about it but its a big factor
This actually seems like a contributing factor worth noting.
