Does Jatt think more than the rest of us, or just write about when he's thinking more than the rest of us? -- Sincerely, Descartes
Literally way better, why does riot not think about this things
Since this thread isn't super new, jumping onto your comment for better visibility ('scuse me, not cutting the line just trying to find my friends)
Thanks for raising this idea OP and u/boydlr! The team working on True Damage took a look and we agree that customizing the border color per champion is a real improvement. When working on a line of skins like this, we often use the same border for thematic matching, but with the color variation here it doesn't coordinate particularly for Akali and Qiyana.
Since we're later in the patch cycle than usual, we'll be making some border changes that will go live after they launch. Thanks for the feedback!
While definetly loved the book and everything about it, I was actually dissapointed that we only got one map :(
Hope we see more of them in the future.
I hope so too, Atgo :D
Who needs a map? I do. I want to be able to know which regions have older architecture because of the tectonic plate movement, I wanna know where volcanoes are, Hell, I wanna know how f**king breezy Nashramae is.
Bad news, I'm afraid.
As it's close to the horse latitudes, and the long narrow sea between Valoran and Shurima, Nashramae likely gets warm, weak-ass, easterly breezes.
Gonna miss it :(
Is it in the book? I have the hardest time trying to figure out Piltover and Zaun. My brain can not compute that sea level has different... sea levels.
It's not, I'm afraid. It's being referenced obliquely in other upcoming things, but the maps that I personally make, while functional, are ugly as sin. It would need some prettification to be ready to show to people, but that's not to say it won't in the future!
Also, regarding the different sea levels, have you looked into places on earth where there are legitimately different sea levels? (Not tide based). Because there are - maybe not to the extent that Piltover has, but it's a real phenomenon.
Love you and your analysis! Any chance we get you for the finals?
Nope. Im all done for the year
Any interesting facts about Piltover?
There is a street, a very old street, that if you drew a line as the crow flies, would point directly at the capital city of Shurima.
I hope to hear you cast some more games next year too, really enjoyed the CG - CLG match
Why thank you!
You don't have to wait until next year, I'm on Scouting Grounds for our upcoming coverage next Saturday.
I know personally I have a bugbear about wonky or wrong rivers in fantasy maps. I try really hard to ensure I don't make mistakes there, but I'm sure I'll slip up one day
You can always say that... "it's because of magic", haha
I.. just.. ugh.
That's my least favorite 'excuse'. Wizards. Doing it. No thank you ;)
How much of this story is known by the people in game? Ionia might have a longer record, Shurima’s truths might have eroded with time, Noxus oughta have some sort of track keeping.
Some people (like Lissandra) have very long memories - they were there, man. Whether they're telling anyone is another matter. Or they may actively be feeding misinformation over generations.
Is that Ryze's crater east of Noxus?
If you mean the large concave coastline next to the Noxian capital, I'm pretty sure it's not. That's more like the continental 'jigsaw piece' of the tectonic plates of Valroan and Ionia. They kind of fit together.
how does the astronomy and cosmology of runeterra work? you know, since stars are made by dragons, and there are celestials and the watchers. does it have its own system(that you guys internally have put pieces of together) or is it closer to our universe, or is it just in the "don't think about it"/"wizard did it" category?
also is Runeterra flat?
Oh man. "A wizard did it" is pretty much the phrase to piss me off any day of the week. I'll let others answer about the cosmology, but Runeterra is not flat.
Ooh sounds pretty interesting! Tbh Im glad you guys are flexing out the whole worldbuilding, specially the cities that now are full nations. Pretty far from back when Runeterra was just a circle
Ah, the old blob map. I have such respect for it - it got us to where we are today - but at the same time. Ouch my eyes.
Read moreHello lads, firstly congratulations on getting the first holy book out! First of many, right?! Oh it is. But to questions now, my questions :p
Calender ends with Swain's rise to power and doesn't note further but we also know from a source that it was 7-8 years ago. Is calender outdated in the sense of present we use or nothing noteworthy on that scale happened that drew the attention of Noxtali? Like a bird-man raising sand castles down south?
Which rock is General Du Couteau under at? Looking under every one of them but missed a few it seems. Patient I am Scath, and looking forward to what you pointed at, but a missed opportunity is a lost one...
I forgot about this one, what does a General command in Noxus, a warhost or a warband?
Fabian's questions:
About my girl Cithria: In The Weight of Expectations, she says she has friends in the 9th Battalion. In Turmoil, she's in the 7th. Furthermore, t...
Heya Lewanor and Fabian.
So. Alright. I made a mistake.
If I'd realized that Cithria was in the 7th in Turmoil, I would very likely have written it to be talking about her friends and comrades in that battalion instead of the 9th. It was an oversight on my part and I'm admitting to it straight up.
HOWEVER! You ever have those moments when you're DMing a game and the players come up with something unexpected, or you mispronounce something and the players interpret it differently and you suddenly think "Wait... that's better!" - I'm kind of looking at it like that now. If Cithria had been in the same battalion as in Turmoil, that's expected - but she's not - and that's interesting. That's something I want to write about.
Maybe this will be considered a cop-out - but heck, I made my own lemons so I think it's only right that I figure out if I can make lemonade with them first, before complaining! (Sorry metaphor.)
I think his question is more to the point of "Are all landmasses shown on the map all that are on Runeterra or are there possibly others not shown yet?". So not really like hidden regions or factions like how Ixtal was there the whole time on the map but we didn't have any place marking it, but more like if there are more unknown continents out there.
Oh yeah there is more planet surface out there. I think Scathlocke actually has a response somewhere here about lands to the east, beyond what we've currently shown.
