League of Legends Dev Tracker

Thanks for your comments, and I acknowledge EOG is not great at the moment, and we will continue to work on making improvements. We have more invested in optimizing EOG now more than ever, where previously we were just trying to get small fixes out the door. We are now looking at every service interaction to see what needs to be changed.

We don't want that, we are taking our time testing to ensure this goes smoothly

Good question, its because we had an original date to launch sometime in July, but its delayed, and wanted to provide you an update

We will have data when we get into PBE and live environments.

Yep, we are aware of EOG degrading performance, we have multiple folks from various teams helping us solve this

Thanks :)

I meant the actual CPU. The Intel minspec CPU was released over 10 years ago.

Yup

;)

Yeah I posted somewhere else that those have been historically pretty learnable, but it's totally possible we aren't doing the best in this space and that there's room for improvement. It'll be worth a discussion at least which I'll likely have internally at some point soon.

Yeah maybe. I've personally found the damage those do to be more learnable, but with that said it's possible if they need some love in the future that we go that direction. I'll bring that up

Anecodtally, MOBA's as a genre have not seemed very mainstream, especially in the west. Inversely, sports games and shooters are very popular in the west proportionately to the east.

In the end though, being picked on for what you enjoy is lame, and I personally wouldn't consider them good friends if they teased me for liking the hobbies I do.

I wouldn't expect us to add it to Riven as hers is an AOE ability that is equally useful to use for just damage. It's often correct to cast Riven R for maximum targets hit rather than for executing a single target, so adding the indicator would actually encourage incorrect casts, unlike Akshan, Pyke, Cho'Gath, etc.

Yes, we don't want to constrain ourselves to technology that isn't "relevant", that's why we will periodically update our minspec.

However, keep in mind that we have players all over the world, not just in NA and EU (where most redditors are). In most areas of the world, more players are using older hardware than they are in NA or EU, and we look at our global player base to determine what is "relevant" to our players.

Until a throne is actually taken, you're only holding the door for the true rulers. 8 titles 7 titles. I think of titles like kingdoms.... Sssooooo

We are very proud of the "League runs on a toaster" memes, and even though we will be updating our minspec sometimes, we have a very deliberate goal to make sure that League continues to run on old hardware. Our "new" minspec CPU is over 10 years old.

Yes, this is largely correct.

This isn't so much about Vex specifically as it is that in general we do want to give our art and dev teams space to do things like they're doing with Vex.

We are very, very conservative about changing our minspec, because we want to make sure that as many players as possible around the world are able to play League. In many regions, players are far more likely to be playing on older hardware than they are in NA or EU (where most redditors are).

Before we change the minspec, we look very closely at the number of players worldwide that will be affected, and for the most part, we won't adjust it until that number is very small. Even then, we balance that against the benefits we'll be able to deliver to all of our players by giving our artists more capabilities.

The only real exception to this would be if third parties (e.g. OSX, Windows) drop support or change requirements for things that we don't have control over. Even then, those parties usually a...

As other people mentioned in here, my theory is that Nasus is a stronger scaler in the recent metas as melee mids and tops are far more popular than historically. Also tanks and control mages are low popularity now, and those champions (in teamfights at least) can hold nasus down long enough to be kited by high DPS classes like marksmen. As of late, Nasus just paths through a fight Q-ing each squishy target he passes by, regardless of game length.
