late to the discussion but does your team have ways of using the number of times played with skin or hextech crafting at all in their analysis of skins? like, someone who purposefully crafts a skin shard or rerolls into that skin and continues to use it/certain skin shards being crafted vs rerolled? or just store data, buying skins directly with rp?

does riot acknowledge at all that there are lots of players that only "interact" with skin content through crafting and are more prone to getting random skins through rerolls?

I'm really glad you acknowledged that some skins might do really well because of mains wanting to collect them, not because they're good skins, and I hope the team watches out for such traps in the future.

Please never again make a "joke skin" that's also a prestige, for any champ. Fuzz is pretty despised overall on the mains discord, and it wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't also going to be the only prestige skin he'll ever get. I wouldn't want other mains, especially those who don't get skins often, to have to go through that. (Like, imagine if the current Viktor skin was the prestige version, a lot of the mains would be even more put out.)

Just wondering, are you allowed to share if the Yorick skin is from a more serious or silly line?

If nothing else, the fact that you're willing to come to Reddit and have conversations like this is really encouraging. You're doing a really good job, and despite the Reddit negativity that always exists, I think a lot of us appreciate you coming into threads like this. It's the sort of thing that makes me say that I really, really respect the people who make Riot tick.

Of course. When I look at Riot as a company, I can only really think of the abuse scandals that have been around it for a while now. I can only think of women being made to feel unsafe and a toxic work culture and so on. When I look at Riot as a developer, though, I see a lot of really passionate and skilled people who care a lot about what they do and are trying their best to make a great game.

Obviously that's a little simplistic, as the two aren't distinct entities like that. But it comes down to me really, really respecting the people who work at Riot and the things they create, while remaining intensely skeptical of Riot as a corporate entity that hires employees.

As a rule, I'm skeptical of corporations. They put people in a position to control other people's livelihoods, and that's worrisome. But that doesn't mean I can't respect and admire the work done by people within a corporation.

I hope that makes sense.

Aurelion sol's splash art looks so goddamn badass. Lee sin and zac also looks pretty impressive.

I don't like Riot as a company, but I really like Riot as a developer, and posts like this are a big part of why. Riot is very consistent about being open with their development process, not just in how it works but in how they look at and evaluate it. It's a really fascinatingly in-depth look at how they design the game.

Oh wow, that's really exciting! Even more skins for underloved champions.

The truth is that when we set out to make a skin for a low play rate champion, our core objective isn’t to support the business, it’s to support a core audience of dedicated players who love that champion.

That's a really good outlook from Riot, and I appreciate that a lot. I love that in addition to trying to make skins that sell super well, they're explicitly looking at how best to deliver content to champions' fans. That's very encouraging - it speaks to us not only getting more skins for less popular champions, but also better skins for them.

It feels more and more like Riot is making good on the idea that Lux and Ezreal skins help to fund skins for less popular champions.

Edit: Also I just want to say that the fact that we get these consistent deep insights into Riot's development process is one of my favourite things about being a fan o...

Tired of second place? You got second one time, and you were ahead of the curve. Now you are behind in both mechanics and meta curve. You won’t even get second this year, but good luck.
