The problem isn't where human resources are spent, its where monetary resources are spent.

Riot is paying people to work on these things, and not paying enough people to work on gameplay, the client, the engine, etc.

And Riot already has far more funding than 99.999% of games will ever get, while doing less than many. Saying they need to nickel and time everyone even more for the game to stop its tailspin isn't really helpful.

Riot has had the money to make improvements that needed to happen 7+ years ago for nearly a decade. Its silly to think money at this point is the reason why things don't happen.

Its intentional that the game isn't actively improving anymore because it makes money whether it does or not.

ty for the answer! Last question: Will Skarner come before the marksman since Riot meddler says Skarner will come fairly early next year

One thing that would make me care about passes again is if I knew I wasn't paying the same amount for less content each time, do you have any plans to address this moving forward?

Thanks, Probama

Would it be possible to make a system where the player would be able to choose which mission "path" they follow. The other being the one thats live now, so just grind games, and the other would be a path that would have more difficult missions but would give out a little more tokens as a reward for choosing the "harder" one so there would be a reason to choose it out of them both.

Can you share a little bit about what the live team does and what kind of technical background is needed? I've always wanted to throw my hat in the riot games ring but never feel like my qualifications match up with what is open.

Can you confirm the current order again? I forgot who was coming out first next year.

it's funny because if Riot had made it completely the opposite, where you have to literally play specific champs or changed your playstyle completely or play off-role just to finish the missions, people would complain as well.

I can already imagine the post "Missions forcing me to play differently from my playstyle, and that's annoying, I just want to play League my way".

The idea of missions is to make you play. OP isnot their main target audience, if OP is already playing many games a day.

Hello Lexical, I enjoyed the 4 champs this year, will there be 4 too next year? And are there any plans to do an Arcane collab again or something special for the big anniversary for league?

out of curiosity are champion shards given out in a way that lowers the rate of champions i can make the mastery 6 or 7 with. Like for example if i just need an ashe shard for mastery 7 craft i never see an ashe champion shard drop. i have champions that are mastery 7 ready for months but i never see their shard drop.

it already involves spending, to craft mastery tokens you need to spend blue essence which accounts that dont have all champs and like to play multiple champs cant afford

Related to cosmetics but not pricing, it was mentioned in the last dev vlog that mystery icons and wards would be returning in the next Blue Essence Emporium, but the FAQ does not currently have those items listed (despite being updated last Thursday).

Did that plan change, or is the FAQ just not fully updated?

Will League of Legends ever be put on steam? The riot forge games are on there.

I have 0 relevant work or skill experience and have 4 perma banned accounts in addition to being Honour level 1 on my current soon to be banned main. However, I feel I would make a great candidate for this role because my Dr. Mundo adc is already making shockwaves in Bronze 3 - 48 LP elos. I expect to be picked up by either G2, T1, or TSM-China soon so please make an offer soon.

I have another gripe, why are ‘Young and Hip’ people only hired to speak on the game discussion videos? Meddler, etc are camera friendly is why, and I think aesthetics < talent needs to be looked at more

can you share a source of where you got them?

Then you aren't the target market for the $200 skin, and that's fine. There's no way in hell that I'd ever touch one. However, if someone does want to show off that they are willing to dump $200 into a not-particularly-special skin, it doesn't hurt me any. I mean, I guess it's dev time and money spent on a skin I don't want. However, riot constantly releases skins that I'm not interested in for one reason or another, so I can't say I give a shit.
