So how do you disable Vanguard when you boot up your computer for non-League purposes? Is there an option to easily do it now?
Yeah you can just right click it in your system tray and select Exit Vanguard. It'll warn you that if you want to play a game that requires Vanguard you'll have to restart your PC - you just click "Ok" on that prompt and it's off.
I am still very sceptical about this and will not update the game for a few weeks to see how it will work out and what experience will other players have.
Honestly pretty based and understandable.
Hope to see you back after the dust settles
Please tell me I don't have to upgrade to Win 11
Nope you won't have to upgrade to Win 11!
The popup to help make sure you're ready for Vanguard will go live with 14.8 so you'll be able to double check and ensure you're good for 14.9.
With its device fingerprinting, Vanguard also gives us a renewed opportunity to sink teeth into boosting, smurfing, and account compromise. We'll be able to revoke rewards boosters didn't deserve, get smurfs to their proper rating faster, and maybe even invalidate "unfair" premades. Ranked statistics won't be as poisoned by scripters, facilitating easier balancing of high risk-and-reward champions, and games ruined by cheaters can eventually be "undone," returning LP to those affected.
This kinda huge
This is something we're very excited to leverage as it helps the overall ecosystem even beyond reduced cheating
1/10 master+ games having scripters in them is crazy
Even I was a little skeptical about the "dire need" for it until I heard that number internally. The second we heard it from the anti cheat team we were like "Okay that goes in the article" lol

That sounds like a very reasonable take
Whoever wrote this should get a raise. Really funny to read.
Phillip is one of a kind :)
I'm glad you're having a good time! I also find the game lately to be the most fun I've had since S4 when I started. (and yes I'm going to just ignore the whole 13 accounts thing...)
Oh God, seeing Riot in front of your name is terrifying. For those who missed the ama five years ago, I met Norak very early in leagues life when he was a cheeky little Aussie kid. Now he's just a cheeky little Aussie dude. To answer your question, Peter Jackson. 🍿
I'm sure I'm taking the bait here, but can't help it...
Peter Jackson, the film director, is your favourite Australian?
Have you ever considered a ~5 normal draft game minimum before queueing for ranked? I think it'd help the ARAM/bot gamers get placed more accurately

yeah I talked about it here
I've seen 20 or so threads like this and I've yet to see a single person that plays normals before playing ranked who has been incorrectly placed after the change to fix those seeding issues (~early feb). We've also done some comprehensive data analysis on this.
Having said that, getting ARAM and bot games players in their first ranked games is a priority for us (it's currently not considered in seeding due to how different those modes are). It is not trivial to fix this for some reasons that aren't particularly relevant, so will take us some time, but we agree it's a problem.
The unfortunate reality is that there are about as many people who are alt accounts that are trying to ego boost themselves as there are new players that go through this ARAM/bot flow, which is why we haven't changed the initial starting injection point. We could move it, but we'd just be trading one issue for another (eg. why is there a 90% winrate player stomping their way through my silve...

We believe we've fixed it forward facing, but we can't fix them retroactively :( We've investigated, it's just not realistically possible at this time
Howdy friendo!
The suggestions are based on popular build orders and their success rates. On your champion people most commonly built these items after the items you had already purchased. The Good Against section is layered on top of the suggestions to help give context about why you might build one versus the other.
Hope that helps, and good luck on the rift.
When Skarner E collides, it checks a small area in front/behind the target to see if they're extremely close to terrain, so Kayn would get instantly stunned.
Kayn E is scripted to teleport him out if he ever receives a hard CC while inside a wall (IIRC).
Skarner exits the wall less quickly. His E buff drops, which makes him have to get out, which he does via a fairly quick pseudo-dash (IIRC).
Or they kiss.
"garliclike"
TIL a new term
Love me some garlic
No shot they basically remade mythic items in arena lmao

Aren't you worried that increasing the number of teams in a match is gonna negatively impact matchmaking?
That is a risk yeah. Arena matchmaking's really healthy early in a run, so if things like 16 players lead to a meaningfully better experience, and therefore more sustained engagement, that's worth the cost. It's certainly conceivable though that we could be wrong and it might turn out to not be worth the trade off. If so we'll have to adjust again for the future

You know what, let's buff Maokai for old times' sake
With the Skarner update making the brackern unrelated to Hextech, will Camille and Seraphine's bios get updated? I know Riot isn't focused on universe and written lore so much anymore, but I feel like at least their biographies shouldn't be non canon... Maybe after Arcane s2 at least?
They'll get updated, not certain on exact timing
