Ah gotcha, could I also ask if you and Adriaan are going to still put out some messaging for Eternals and Prestige skins for 2020
We’ll be announcing the roadmap of Prestige skins for the first half of 2020 come January. Also we’ve been making a bunch of changes to Eternals that you’ll hear about come the start of 2020.
Man, I've barely mastered Rammus and then we go and throw this at me.
Hey Bellissimoh was it intentional then to do another VS event since I thought Cats vs Dogs was for this year
The Dawnbringer / Nightbringer skin release is not a VS event.
Hi Bellissimoh, can I ask when we are getting that upcoming skin blog you have mentioned a while back about increasing skin numbers and making more precise choices for unpopular champions?
There will be something coming out around start of season for 2020.
Just wanted to give a little bit of feedback here, i know im just one person and it probably does not matter, but i played a few games of Braum in earlier seasons and got the Santa Braum skin in "your shop" i think.
Naturally i always played this skin when i picked Braum because it was the only one i had, but after a while it felt weird to pick "Santa Braum" in the middle of summer and i didnt feel like the effects fit to the usual summoners rift.
I love the concept behind those skins though and i hope they make a return eventually.
Appreciate the feedback MegaBaum. Like Star Guardians in 2018, sometimes it can be really healthy to take a year off from a skin line. Helps us reset or reorient thematically and take our time to identify something that either changes things up or hits harder on the elements of a thematic that players really enjoy.
Aphelios looks absurdly hard, was that one of his product goals
Kind of. The product goal for Aphelios was to make a Champion with a high mastery curve through many different combinations of abilities rather then reflex based mobility tools, where most of our high mastery curve Champions reside
The next two Event Passes will each include 2 Gemstones as Milestone Mission rewards if you want to earn your way towards him!
"Originally" is a bit misleading, it was just part of the exploration. They do some crazy stuff in exploration, like lvl 16 Kayle gaining 'True Flight' (Kayn's E) permamently!
IT WAS SO COOL
Damn, we're really not getting snowdown event/skins this year.
Yes. Snowdown historically hasn’t been the most popular skin line, and even the most purchased Snowdown skins don’t see a high amount of usage from players that own them. (Not even during the winter / snowdown season)
This year we wanted to try something new. Looking forward to hearing more feedback once everyone can experience Nightbringer / Dawnbringer and Sugar Rush in-game.
Also to note: This doesn’t mean that Snowdown will never return, but we need to spend more time understanding what works or doesn’t work with that thematic before we bring it back.
These arent christmas skins right? they dont seem to have anything to do with christmas
Snowdown skins have been fairly polarizing from a results and engagement perspective. We’re taking a break from Snowdown skins this year and trying something different.
Did Riot at no point of his creation thought "This champion is obviously gonna be useless in the hands of most players but extra OP in pro-play so we'll have to nerf him countless times to the point where he's not just "kinda useless" but like, literally useless to everyone else, and then we'll either abandon him or try to make some mini-rework thing"?
So a part I cut from the article (due to length) was more around the decision to make him an ADC. The team shared that because Aphelios is an ADC, this allows more wiggle room for players to learn him. Even if you can't yet grasp the weapon swapping and just auto and Q, you're building AD items so you're going to do damage. You're still adding to the teamfight.
But if you put in the time to practice, learn weapon combos, and understand the kit deeply, you'll end up with some absolutely insane highlight reels.
I think he would look better with lunar hair. Currently he looks like kayn with a coat
I am okay with this. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I think they accidentally hit a control ward.
It's always Ezreals... /thinking
So?! Does Aphelios even have a voice actor?
Aphelios' VO consists purely of "sounds of exertion," or so I was told by Riot Zimberfly.
So I do not believe he has tangible VO lines. I didn't play him on dev build so I'm not 100% sure.
Back in s5(?) I played a solo ranked in gold, 1 of very few times I've played the game solo, I got flamed by my support for buying a pink ward when I should be focusing on items
I believe the monetary value of pink is better than any 500g or below item. Or at least that's what someone who is a much higher rank than me said once. The value begins to swing in the item balance when you hit 800g items.
Ah yes I understand.
what
