Is Aurelian Sol planned for this year (since it seemed like it was still in early stages)
We release stuff when its ready, so not sure. He will likely be sometime either late this year or early next year depending on how he comes along

Sorry to piggyback, also sorry because no doubt you've answered this a bunch already, but are you able to give a Release Month on Udyr?
SOONtm
I was also curious, are you still going to be writing champ roadmaps and doing the champions in season X videos as lead gameplay producer or are you passing those on to lexical
I will be the next few for sure, not sure about after that. I may keep doing them but roll them into a bigger gameplay roadmap, rather then just a champions roadmap
What about ixtal? I know this is an old thread, but I was so excited for ixtal when Qiyana came out. But it's been the worst possible result, you guys haven't expanded on it at all since her release. It's pretty frustrating. Feels like Latino representation is always the last thing anyone cares about, and it's crazy cus there's a pretty big league audience from Brazil to Mexico, and like a quarter of the city you guys live in is Mexican.
And ixtal is so f**king cool. I want more of it
Same, we are for sure going to do some in that space soon
Only notifications you get are when you receive a reward.
Perfect! It’s so good!
no i just skip everything anyways and just want the rewards...
You actually don't need to skip anything. The rewards are granted whether you visit Another Sky or not.
here you go Phreak "EG will Live Evil, Dig will Die Well"
I think the version I'd use in retrospect is just "... will die."
IDK in like three months I'll use it again for the Worlds semifinals or something. Just don't call me out for reusing once we get there.
Is Huni getting booed :(
Pretty sure they are Huuuniiiiii chants but it doesn't come across that way through the audience mics.
Skipping champ select is jarring.
I think champ select is kind of too long shown in full. I'd prefer a not live recreation of the champ select maybe catching up in the second pick phase so we get caster reaction/discussion to picks but don't sit through all the thinking.
The easiest option is just showing everything, which is fine.
I think coming in at the second pick phase is a great compromise.
Seeing how the champ select unfolds with theorycrafting/discussion between people live makes the champ select feel so much more exciting on how it gets to the end result. Just seeing how it plays out is both visually confusing for me and makes the whole process seem way more confusing and easier to flame bad comps since there’s no context given behind seeing it unfold in real time
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
Draft is an integral part of the game. Dont skip it
We agree and never want to skip past that information. When we got into the game, we displayed the pick order of the draft. It sounds like that still felt like skipping it, though?
Not trying to be defensive, just want to genuinely understand what aspect of the live draft feels like it's being skipped, if you don't mind sharing.
Don’t think they were doing it to save time or intentional, probably just a f**k up on production side because FLY are playing remote.
It was intentional. The idea behind the experiment is that champ select can often times be pretty stale and repetitive, and we wanted to explore opportunities to skip the ~7min of live champ select and cover the story of the draft in the first few minutes of the game when no action is happening.
Appreciate any feedback from you all about whether you like it or not, and why. Thanks!
Hey there, if you have feedback around skipping champ select, would love to gather it in replies to this comment. Especially appreciate what you like about it and/or what you don't like about it and why.
I want to make sure we're capturing what aspect of the idea you all think is good/bad, as well as what aspect of the execution you all think is good/bad!
Wow, that’s a lot! Do you know who has the record for highest mastery at Riot?
Im not actually sure! I'd have to imagine I have a good chance of having the most though.
resources can also be used to describes human resources e.g. employees. money helps with that to an extent, but hiring people is a lengthy and difficult process. it could be upper management or finance deciding that the balance team can't be granted X employees or Y dollars to spend on hiring too, though.
phroxzon can't just magically conjure up employees/money regardless of riot's financial position.
Basically this. We get a lot of interest, but have not found people good enough to fill the roles, mainly the combination of game knowledge and design skill. Frankly, the fact that we are still performing as we are is superhuman levels of dedication from the devs.
I'm a big fan of this type of work. Over time, players find the cracks in champion designs or the game changes such that they don't apply as well. Giving a second pass (What would we do differently if we did it over?) is a great opportunity to breathe life back into stale characters.
Love me some mid-scopium! You guys rock!
Small point of feedback: while I liked seeing all the coffee transitions, felt a bit like too many? Idk if that's just me being nit picky cause I know you did it in between each question/point. It just felt like there were too many.
That's great feedback and we will 100% take it into consideration! I appreciate it! :D
You know I look at cracks in the sidewalk and I'm like: "This kind of looks like my favourite star dragon"
Happy to see that Rioters are just as obsessed with their Champions as we are.
By the way, I never knew just how much I needed a Runeterra themed Restaurant/Café/Theme park/Anything until I saw the Bilgewater Brew.
Rob is next level, but I think players would be surprised just how dedicated so many of us are to certain characters. I mean I have 2 million points on Yasuo alone, and nearing 1 million on Orianna. We love our champions, that's for sure!
/u/Cashmiir Do the next one at noms. I want someone to explain a new syndra ultimate using meatballs as props.
