That's what the OP said, not what I said.

1. 100% agree that Sustain should be a tradeoff. We explored Goredrinker retaining the big heal and losing more combat stats, but felt like it also just was overtuned. In general, we think most sustain items are definitely giving up meaningful damage (Immortal Shielbow is a prime example), and we shipped changes to sharpen that.
2. Agree that's the danger there.
3. I think one of League's premier selling points is a lot of direct conflict, often through frequent exchange of ability usage and trading. I'd say this area is similarly an issue of balance, not principles - rune sustain should still be correctly costed, but it can exist in the system.

yep, sera got a bump down both in her ally and self shield! her ally shield goes off of her self shield, so it was meant to be imply that both are decreased. in other words, her ally shield is 50-100
and her self shield is now 75-150

going to update the notes with this, thank u :)

yep! wanted to call attention to his new ult upgrade interface :)

currently we want to do 2 VGUs in 2022, yes, not just Udyr. Obviously things can always change but our current goal is at least 2 VGUs for 2022, yes

It was a resource issue, we were already behind due to covid and then we lost a designer on the team (not from Riot but they went to another team within Riot)

Thanks for raising this! For people encountering this issue, what are your summoner names on PBE? If I could get your r3d logs and crash dumps that would help immensely as well.

no worries, its understandable, I was pretty sad when we had to cut the 2nd VGU for this year as well, as I love working on VGUs just as much as you all love seeing them released.

To be clear, we didn't intentionally drop down to 1, from a strategy perspective. We had orinally planned to do the VGU poll much earlier and ship 2 VGUs this year, Mundo and whoever won the poll, even when the voting tech had to be redone when we depreciated nexus, we still started up what would have been the 2nd VGU for 2021 without the voting poll. Unfortunately the realities of Covid and switching to a WFH model effected our production schedule. It's not something we plan on continuing every year in the future

Was a gg. Pretty hectic finish. Also your Samira popped off. Fun game. :)

Yeah I think Stash will be on it? Not 100% sure. But Champion team leadership saw this thread so they'll have all these ideas when they start work.

Good thread, ty.

I have my mastery emote bound to R.

It's perfect for when I whiff seraphine ults.

Not currently no

I mean most champs become at least a bit more broad after we VGU them, I think Udyr has some potential to be more broad then he is now, for sure.

This is so good!!

Here’s the link to the contest for anyone (like me) that somehow missed it in all the Season Start stuff: https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/community/season-2021-fan-art-contest/
