Not currently, but that is a cool "high-five" sorta idea. I like it. Maybe next year!

We still have a tuning pass to do on the Lethality legendary item stats, but in the meantime these mythic active nerfs should get us some good mileage towards our goal.
You probably don’t need a second confirmation but I saw this bug in a practice tool on Sunday
Edit — and it was BC it could stack off of being in combat with minions (and monsters?). It still only applies 1 stack per unit
It's ok. I thought we fixed it last week but we didn't.
Karthus
NERF - Too strong in both Jungle and Mid in Elite play
He's only strong in jg & bot, stop hitting mid for no reason when he's perfectly fine there
Champ was kinda nuts across 3 positions and multiple elo brackets. By winrate Karthus jungle is the weakest of the 3. Deathsinger kinda nuts rn
Hey mind if I ask: why are you trying to just get the numbers to be like live? I guess I just don't see the point in reworking the items if your end goal is for it to be exactly like it is now
Not just like live, but similar so that there isn't an influx of new damage.
The point of the item rework isn't to change how much damage/tankiness there is, but rather give players new choices to make and new interesting item actives/passives to play with that enable healthier and/or more interesting play patterns
Love to see you guys active on reddit :) I'd like to piggyback this comment to address something I forgot on the OP and a lot of people pointed out: is ravenous hunter supposed to heal for the full amount on aoe spells and do you think that's alright or will it get changed?
Yeah I think it's supposed to heal full amount on aoe spells, but be a lower % baseline and (I think) less healing on minions. I'll have to follow-up because it's hard to track all these moving pieces myself.
Did you play Tristana today?
Yup
Can confirm that 40k Jhin crits are a bug. The intended number is 4444K
Thanks for the analysis! Lethality items are currently undergoing a pass to hit their overall power. Just by adding more potential lethality purchases, the overall stackability of the lethality is way up, which we are planning to address in a future PBE update before it hits live servers.
What are your thoughts on third party development of fantasy games for LCS/LEC?
I think it has already happened a bit right? And will likely continue to happen. But no one has nailed the "great" experience yet (imo), which is why I still want to see more.
Something that is fun, can be played with friends, and doesn't require me to check in EVERY DAY in order to be competitive. And also hopefully something that can keep me coming back week over week, even if i start to suck. Just give me epic losestreak rewards xDD
Report rovient inting.
Whatever, I'll be dancing in fountain. Open mid.
Thanks for the (very fast) response. I just got selected as a caster for the collegiate league here in NA so I was curious about that. Any advice for a first time caster?
For your first time honestly just have fun, don't take yourself too seriously. After that if you want to improve find a partner you can practice with regularly!
How do you go from something like a collegiate league/amateur tournaments to official riot events?
Well I responded to a tweet from Quickshot where he said EULCS was looking for a new caster. So I just linked a vod. Everyone has different paths, but improvement on base skills is always more important than a resume
K6 specifically had his ult nerfed because of the invisibility issues with it.
To reiterate, KhaZix and other stealth champions stealth to create kills, Duskblade stealths once the kill is already secured. Very different levels of power.
search "caster" here on the sub and you'll probably find leagues looking for casters!
Didn't we use to have fantasy leagues at least for NA/EU? Haven't been keeping up much though so not sure if it's still around or got cancelled
u/KlauseTheBear any inside scoop?
Yep, we did operate a traditional fantasy league game for NA/EU back in the day. I think it was retired around 3 years ago.
I still think the space is ripe for exploration, we just didn't have the best implementation at the time imo. It was actually a similar issue to last year's pick'em. Once someone lost a few early matches, there was no incentive to keep playing.
I can confirm that I saw a Braum with 30 sterak's stacks in an ARAM game 30 minutes ago.
Balllllllls. Ty
Do you guys plan on just shifting power, since I'm assuming items are just balanced but power is skewed towards burst here. Unless they aren't
The item patterns are functional, we just need to tune the numbers to get it closer to live power.
What is your opinion on new Duskblade? Do you think it’s healthy for the game and fun/fair to play against?
Duskblade is interesting because it's the item that's power is most contingent on the Lethality system's overall strength. To clarify, the stealth is powerful, but is only on take-down, so if the overall damage of assassins is tuned properly, they should still have to work hard to get that first stealth reset, because if they don't get the kill then the stealth is actually a useless power-budget sink.
That said, on PBE assassins have been overtuned generally, so they are picking up their kills too reliably and therefore accessing the stealth more frequently than normal. I don't see a reason the stealth can't stay, but it is very reliant on us doing our due diligence on the rest of the system to ensure it's not too reliable.
yeah, same. I've seen it on a riven in aram last night too.
Apologies. I'm trolling. We've not fixed it yet.
