Why is it worded as doubled then? Can you change the wording to "New effect: You now also get a smaller speed boost towards enemies an ally has cc'd"

Dunno, probably design craft. I think your brain gets more excited about something doubling under a condition then gaining half of a baseline under some condition ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Total guess though, I am QA!

Thanks Catman!

I believe it's just for the month and not the full year.

So it’s a nerf then?

Basically the trade is the current enhanced MS towards CC'd allies for the new enhanced MS towards enemies that your allies CC. MS towards enemies you impair is unchanged. Probably worse for someone like Kench support, but on average I suspect it'll be a little more useful.

30% increased movement speed towards opponents who are crowd controlled by Approach Velocity? Massive buff for Tahm Kench, Braum, Nasus, Cho'gath, as well as potentially new volibear. I can't help feeling like this rune will be very op on champs who use it well.

Current tuning is that it's equivalent to live approach velocity if you CC someone yourself. The new part is that you get half of the value if you are heading towards an enemy that another ally CC'd.

i dont get how you are supposed to trade into guardian in lane now?

like, poking to proc it is the counterplay. the ms it provides is more than enough to run down your enemy in a 2v2.

It doesn't provide MS anymore.

I am glad we are seeing mechanical changes in the middle of the season. I understand the resistance to introduce a lot of change after your failed experiment of a new patch cadence in Season 8.

Game is getting stale in my opinion.

Yea, the 10.12 work we hope to freshen up the game a bit.

We still think that major disruptive mid seasons are too much, but it doesn't mean we want no systems changes.

Completely understand, I work in Graphic Design and it's incredibly hard to spot your errors when you're scrutinising it for hours!

Course it sucks to see but at the end of the day it happens and I can bet a good few people didn't manage to catch it.

We're all human.

it's weird how when you stare at something so long you can accidentally ship it with LOREM IPSUM and not see it until the next day

Writer here. We try to catch all of these (or prevent them) but honestly there's a LOT of content going to a lot of places, so sometimes we just miss.

I'd say this is on us (the writers) primarily for not catching it, but I think everyone feels equally bummed across all teams when something like this happens.

Ty for the cool stuff, I think it genuinely means more than people give credit. We all out here gay af in 2020.

I only worked on some of the comms around it (posts coming out ON May 17). The team deserves all the credit in the world for the hard work they did.

Can someone show all of them? The colors etc

I don't have an image or gif of all of them. I think someone posted one in the comments somewhere. But I have this, though.

hey mr rioter does the special homeguard thing still apply if i have the icon from last year equipped?

Yes! The original Rainbow Fluft has the same rainbow homeguard trail!

Yep, a different one for each icon even, I think.

This is correct! There's a unique homeguard trail per icon!

Couple of reasons:

  • 1PM PST is when all of our content team is ready to go, and we have people standing by ready to fix issues if they arise.
  • It's off-peak for a lot of our different regions, which reduces the odds of different League services behaving badly when we activate content.

Lovely skin, a definite buy for me. I'm here to drop a little bit of feedback though.

  • This may be a bug, but it seems Gnar is lacking the filter on his voice that other Astronaut skins (including ones in this new set) have. His attack quotes don't have it though, from what I've seen.
  • The recall for Mega Gnar could maybe use something after he eats the UFO. He spends a decent bit of time floating there, and something small, like a burp at the end of the recall, could add a bit more to it and make it livelier. I know animations are harder to change this far into development, so I understand if this can't be fixed.
  • The skin could use a bit more color. Some orange on his suit could make the skin a lot nicer and colorful.

These are minor things, but I think they could improve the skin. Big thank you to the team for this skin.

I think it's bugged, Astronaut Gnar definitely has a voice filter. I'll doublecheck on PBE though.

So we used most of the anim resources we had in the smaller gnar's recall. Mega Gnar's recall is used far less than Mini/Regular is why. I'll suggest a small burp though.

As for the color, we just added orange to his suit due to popular vote! You'll see this change tomorrow :) Cheers.

That's totally understandable! I personally love the skin , and I can't wait for it to release. This is my only flaw with the skin, everything else looks good about the skin IMO. Thank you for your answer!

No problem!! Thanks for the feedback and sorry to disappoint, glad you're super excited about the skin!

His normal walk is already bouncy enough and we did not feel like it warranted a new walking animation.
