League of Legends Dev Tracker

I want to personally thank Voyboy for speaking up on an issue that hits so close to home

I was watching that glorious fiesta LCK series before going to bed, flip on reddit at 3am tucked into my sheets, and bam viego bug :'(

Magical was my first casting duo when we were both grinding NA amateur. Im so excited to see him in the big leagues. He has unlimited energy and an odd attachment to Ohmwrecker, but we wont hold that against him

Oh my

No, that was unrelated. I believe the issue was in Azirs scripts (very complex as you'd imagine) that only manifested on Samira.

Yo just wanted to jump in and say thanks to everyone that leaves constructive comments and feedback every week. I'm not on EUphoria but I know the team spend a lot of time trying things out, listening and reading feedback and try to cater to make the best possible product. I really enjoy reading your comments each week as they're some of the best out there, so please keep it up! I know the team appreciates it!

IM THE SHOUTCASTER NOW!!

If you say it 3 times in a mirror I'll yell at you.

Stridebreaker or Trinity Force.

If you're still curious : it was an uninitialized variable. It had a small chance for a buff to self identify as being a charm without applying the effect. We managed to get the fix out the next day for eSports.

I mean, that's generally how balance works. If people aren't frustrated by it (ban rate) and players aren't penalized for reasonable choices (win rate) then yeah, you let it ride. AP Twitch had a lower win rate for a very long time, presumably because it took people a while to learn the playstyle. But here we are with like a 2% win rate bump by going Nashor's first vs. an AD mythic and it's a pretty reasonable thing for the designer to check up on his project and go, "OK, yeah, I have to nerf this."

Obviously not the designer who worked on this but, uh, I have thoughts:

I know for a fact that the Xin Zhao work was ongoing well before AP ratios were added to the kit. It's not exactly hard to say, "OK, I'm happy with the reshape, let's slap on some AP ratios now." As someone who gets to see in-progress updates, there were weeks and weeks of design work and updates. The very last change list I saw had AP ratios attached. If you want to take a pessimistic view, I guess it means that there's comparatively less playtesting on the AP build, but the entirety of the design work was done with no changes to AP ratios at all.

So to be clear, the idea of AP Xin Zhao in no way impacted the work done on Xin Zhao.

The refrain, "Literally no one wanted to play [x champion build] before [x champion build] existed" is a dumb one. No one asked for a wind samurai but guess what he's the most popular champion in the game. If your argument is, "No one asked for this" your arg...

As you can clearly ^;) see in the screenshot, that application is called chronokeeper and has a different function than chronobreak.

You many have noticed that our in-game overlay scoreboard is completely different from the spectator mode overlay, and chronokeeper helps us keep time/stats synced between the observer feed and our custom scoreboard.

Hiya, just wanted to pop in here for some more context/clarity.

The Xin changes are basically 2 lists.

-Reinvigorate Crit/AP Xin. These were builds that players enjoyed playing in the past that have fallen off pretty hard or were nerfed. We're bringing them back up as nice off-builds, but don't plan on them being a main, competitive build for Xin (like AP Shyvana or AP Twitch).

-Separate from AP/Crit Xin, we're also working on changes to buff AD Fighter Xin. We are still fine-tuning the numbers to make sure these changes feel like buffs to Xin, so don't take these as final just yet. The changelist aims to add more value/interest around creative uses of Xin's W (instead of just always waiting to Q3). We've also improved his target access as the game continues. Combined with the W CD buff and R duration (which both carry a ton of weight), we've found that Xin has a lot more ways to function in teamfights as opposed to just E-ing in and hoping.

Appreci...

Stuff like this makes my day, thank you =)

Honestly while I do think there's a lot of very... harsh criticism of Riot that happens on reddit, it does become important to focus on the basis of the criticism rather than the actual verbiage. In this case, I agree pretty well with you, that while it's very unfortunate that this particular data share wasn't proof-read enough, the message is still a good one. But in the end we aren't perfect, make mistakes, and will continue to make them, but hope to continue with transparency and timeliness on which decisions we make and why. It's totally fair to call us out when we don't live up to (your very high) expectations, and we definitely read your feedback (whether colourful or tame).

Overall we're doing much better for item diversity than seasons past, but not quite at the ambitious targets we set for ourselves. There is a bit of fighting human psychology we're doing here, where people will always gravitate towards the comfortable, most popular, or highest wi...

LOL I know it's not possible because of how it's scripted but that would be hilarious

And my worst nightmare

Every time I see a "Rift herald does x" on reddit, I'm just sweating and praying it's not a bug. I was half expecting it to charge at the nexus instead of mid outer based on the title lol.
