League of Legends Dev Tracker

I'm not sure exactly what data or analysis he was operating from, so I can't speak directly to that. I can say that I've been a part of some recent-ish evaluations of what it would take to bring RGMs (including Showdown) to customs, and the short answer was "a lot". Codebases also change a lot in 3+ years, particularly in cases like League where there's new stuff every two weeks, so it may have become harder over time.

Posted above! Thanks for flagging me

Interesting analysis! I have some more detailed takeaways, but here is a quick TL;DR:
EUW did have a configuration difference that was optimizing for faster matches at higher MMR for a little looser matchmaking. The actual Match Quality is way closer when measuring by the metrics we actually use to make games (not LP), but there's some room for improvement so we're going to shift it to be closer in line to other regions.

- First, cool idea and thanks for bringing this stuff up!
- So as you know, we don't match on LP, we match on MMR. The two numbers correlate pretty well up at the top of the ladder, but there's a lot of ways it can differ from region to region. So while the numbers can look pretty jarring here, they're much closer in reality. For example, looking at only players with Master or higher MMR, the 90th percentile of worst games still had both teams within ~1 win's MMR of each other in all regions. Differences between teammates were a...

Hi folks!

We've talked about custom games more recently in this Ask Riot post: https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2019/09/ask-riot-events-and-game-modes/. The quick summary is that making RGMs function in customs is a substantial amount of work for some subtle technical reasons, and we don't think that shipping buggy or broken custom games in the meantime is a good idea.

We try our best to be transparent about what we're working on in the future, like talking about ...

Sick play! Poppy is a dope champ

Hello! Happened to come across this, thanks for sharing it. I don't work on League anymore as I have moved to our research and development group, but I chat regularly with the folks who would work on something like this.

Can you provide more detail on your idea?

Your cosplay is seriously great! I sent it to Lonewingy (Sett's original artist) and Riot Earp (he worked on the Mecha Kingdoms skin) when you first posted!

I just want you to know at least five other Rioters have sent me your cosplay. My love of Sett knows no bounds. This is beautiful. 10/10, sent it to my mom.

We're aware of the input lag but unfortunately I don't have good answers yet. We're investigating!

Hmm, I thought I had! I'll check in again Monday and see.

This is the smarter guy

I actually fixed it, but it won't be deployed until next patch cycle!

Thanks for posting this. I'll take a look at our bug tracking and see why this isn't tracked or if it is, why we haven't fixed it! Hopefully I can give it a go this week!

Put a ring on it. Any partner who plays with you and is able to help set up future pentakills is worth holding onto. In 10 years of playing this game, my one ranked pentakill was setup by my wife on her nami while I played sivir!

I commented on something similar below, but I'm guessing they are both related (some sort of window-out-of-focus bug) and could be fixed simultaneously, but can't confirm with people til Monday.
Glad you appreciate it! I like to troll around on /new on the weekends and engage a bit.

My (undereducated) guess is that they are both related, but I can't confirm until Monday.

Nope, should be fixed by people much smarter than me this patch or the next. It's the weekend so can't really collect any more details for you at the moment.

Junglers are often enablers (unless you're Graves or Shyvana or something similar). so you actually succeed most by enabling your teammates to do more damage by ganking their lanes, securing objectives, and defending them in fights. Damage dealt is not always a great measure of how you're performing game-to-game. For jungle, kill participation % and objectives secured are good measures of performance!

Calling people idiots isn't cool man. Take an opportunity to cool off.
