You really have no idea who certainlyT is do you? He’s by far the most acclaimed designer, creating unique actionable ideas without the August Browning touch of unbalancable, and by far the best champ designer at riot, Yasuo Zed Zoe Thresh Darius and many others are examples of top tier design and fantasy fulfillment beyond their years while maintaining peak balance.

CertainlyT was unironically one of the greatest holistic Designers (not just champ designer) that League has had. I know this is going to get memed because people will say "yeah he just taught people how to make broken stuff or how to balance worse", but I don't think he did those things. Designers here are definitely good enough to have their own opinion and be able to defend it. He definitely pushed the boundaries in a way that is not everyone's cup of tea, but that's part of what makes him great. He also knew how to make simple champions (think WW update).

It's unfortunate, because players will never get to see behind the scenes of how he contributed, but one of his best attributes was that he truly passionately cares about League. He was always up to date with all the new builds (often as soon as they were popping up in KR soloQ) and he knew all the little details about the game inside-out. In his spare time, he was always prototyping stuff locally on his computer to m...

The fact that he can do it so quickly and effortlessly on camera is kinda bothersome lmao

Every single Rioter I have met (either randomly in-game or IRL or on social media) has been so nice and helpful and has gone above and beyond with outreach with the community. Like, it's one of the best qualities of the company that I've been applying like a madman to work there. I am not gonna say the company is perfect, since no such company exists in terms of being "perfect," but it sure as hell is attracting a bunch of really awesome folk that I would love to work with sometime during my lifetime. I may not qualify to work there now, but I'm gonna keep on applying until I do qualify.

Even the more popular (read: publicly known) rioters I've met in the most recent season-start of TFT when the ranks were reset (like Blaustoise) were honorable and met every single criteria outlined on the Summoner's Code. I played SR with some super awesome folk this past weekend.

Also, many thanks to /u/Cash...

Big ups to the balance team, this patch looks great

Is there any plans on changing the interaction between Cull and Relic Shield? Relic Shield procs no longer count as a Cull stack.

Hey dude, speaking as a Jinx main and big Aphelios fan... is there any convo internally going on about Runaan's? That item feels so difficult to build now; it's so hard to justify building another 3400g item when you already have mythic + IE in any full crit build.

I love the addition of the bolt damage level scaling to open it up as a late game AoE damage option for stuff like Jhin, but is there any chance you guys could revert the addition of AD so you can drop its price again?

I'd love to see it lose the AD and drop down to 2700g (so it'd match the other Zeal item prices, which is another +1 IMO). So basically compared to before preseason it'd have -5% crit, -2% MS, and +100 cost, but gain the bolt scaling. It'd still leave it open to people like Jhin/Cait late game or as a boot replacement while also making it feel good to buy again on the Jinx/Aphelios/Kalista/Twitch crowd. It's the only true disappointment I have with the item changes!

much love

Reasoning behind nerfing Jhin in the same patch that Lethality for ranged gets nerfed?

Several people have reported this bug but I haven't seen anything about it for a while, but preferred item slots are not working at all right now. Are you guys aware of this already?

Please make it so muramana has a damage by mana cap instead of nerfing ability so i can still go it on ad casters

Can I quickly ask about how the team is feeling about Kai'Sa at the moment? Judging from u.gg you would think that she would be getting nerfed since she has double Samira's pickrate w/ a higher winrate in Plat+ / Diamond+ / D2+, but am I correct that you're waiting on seeing how crit buffs help some of her counters (e.g. Caitlyn) before hitting her directly?

(If you do nerf her, please hit her early game)

how low of a winrate does gp need before he gets looked at?

Does Riot not want Morgana to be Midlaner? She is intended to be locked as a support only pick?
