This mode seemed similar to Smite's Arena mode. Will this mode feel just like it or will it offer its own differences and feel just inspired by it? There was a mention of no big objectives but it seemed like there are still camps, how do those work?

Camps work a little differently in Brawl. Blue and Red buffs still provide a buff to the killer, although stronger. When a player kills a camp however, they will gain a large amount of Gold, distributed amongst members of its team if they are close-by. Camps in Brawl are an alternative way to accumulate Gold and snowball the game.

1 balancing of items/runes like hubris/dark harvest?

2 was 6v6 considered? being more chaotic and personally really miss that hexakill announcement

3 will there be bans?

4 was 200haste summoners spells cd on aram testing for this? and if mark/dash and smite are available

5 why it was bandle city themed and not ionia themed? (thought it would be like arena, ionia first then later reskinned to be bandle to be more general

6 why water on one side only instead of a river down the middle like this? (qiyana question

7 is the recall empowered/baron ver? else just walking back to base seems more practical most of the time

8 cannon minion not worth more points?

9 cappa juice available?

10 will little legends show up like in aram? potentially even helping in battle like the SR jungle pets?

I can answer a couple!

7) The recall is faster, only 4 seconds here. It also has unique particles. :)

9) Cappa Juice is available, yes. We need our hats!!

My personal favorite is Clannad, especially After Story! I also really liked Code Geass. :D

I haven't watched anime in a little while, but I should really get back into it!

Favorite thing and least Favorite thing in Brawl?

Some of my favorite things! The portals, I think they're neat! They show some of our different maps, showing that the minions that survive do not end their journey here. :D

I also really like sleeping Yuumi, she's just so cute. Gameplay-wise, I really like that it's lower stakes and less stressful. I also REALLY like the music. It's so relaxing!

Now for my least favorite things: playing against my colleagues, cause they're all too good. >:D

More seriously though, I'm obviously biased but I can't really think of many negatives. As with all projects, I just wish we had more time to polish and improve on it. :)

How do you go about balance? I feel like some champs that are problematic in aram will also be problematic here. As example teemo and asol. Holding waves for free with no real danger.

The main difference in this case is that you do not have turrets protecting you, and there are side lanes that can be used by assassins to get to you. You could technically freeze the minion wave as ASol, but the other team has tools to take you down if you do not pay attention (or rather, you have less tools to protect yourself). The only turrets in this mode protect your spawn point, and that's it.

Can we get more bandle city maps in the future? PLEEAAASE it’s my favorite region

It's one of my favorites too!! I really hope we get to explore more of Bandle City and Yordles in general, as I personally feel like they're often under-represented. But only time will tell!

If you were all hot dogs, and you were locked in a room and starving to death, would you decide to slowly eat yourselves at a similar pace, or would you cannibalize one of you at a time?

Which teammate would you cannibalize first? If Meddler-the-hot-dog was with you, would you start with him?

I also do not like hot dogs either, sorry (RiotDerkese goes first :3)

Hi, I would just love to thank you for making this map in Bandle City!!

I would love to know the thought process of adding add Norra and Kobuko as shopkeepers - as we normally have our yordle shopkeepers present from the rift, so it was a very conscious decision to have them appear in a league game (I AM DEFINITELY NOT HINTING TO WANTING THEM AS PLAYABLE CHAMPIONS)
As I adore both yordles and their 'shop' details (I see you Yuumi!) - the book being present in Kobuko's stall and the missing slice of pie in Norra's shop - I would love to personally thank this person who came up with this because it really warmed my heart.

Ooh you've already caught on many of the little details we've added! Good eye! :D

In this case, we just felt like they'd be perfect shopkeepers: beloved Yordle characters that we had models and animations for from TFT! I'm glad you like the little sleeping Yuumi I've added next to Norra. <3

Our environment artist (RiotPoise) then started populating their individual shops, and realized they would likely be friendly, non-competing shopkeepers who would buy at each others stores, hence the book in Kabuko's stall, and the slice of pie in Norra's shop. :)

Will it be a lot of fun or not much

I've personally been having a lot of fun in our playtests, so hopefully you guys will too once it's out! But only time will tell. :D Make sure to give it a try when it's on PBE!

For my friends who only play ARAM, how can I explain Brawl to them to make it feel distinct and separate?

It's like ARAM but faster, with more fighting, and without structures!

Why Bandle City? It was only one idea or you had other too?

We thought of doing Bandle City very early on, almost from the get-go. We wanted minions to go into portals, and Bandle City is known for their portals. Plus, we'd never made any Bandle City maps before, so it felt like a great opportunity to finally explore that space! To be more accurate however, this one is less Bandle City and more an exploration of the Bandle Woods (which is the name of the map!).

What makes Brawl a better game mode for new player ?

I've tried showing League to a few friends and the experience was so miserable for them despite my best effort

Yes! We removed a lot of the extra information/knowledge necessary to start playing League such as ganking, objectives or structures and streamlined the experience. It's also quick hop-in/hop-out game, much quicker than SR, on a smaller map, and with lower stakes.

Who’s OP?

Personally, I really like playing Malzahar in there. Being able to E/W the minion wave and see them vanish one by one, while also having a powerful suppress makes him really good in Brawl in my opinion. :D

We gave it a try back when we added Bloodletter's but didn't fit our goals for a new item in SR. Still open to finding a space for items from Arena in SR.
