I want to believe. Actions speak louder than words and the track record isn't great. I just wish Riot would release game modes for fun without worrying about huge corporate overhead. You guy used to not worry about trying things out
Understood on actions being what matters. Tag me on a thread in a couple of weeks if you want to continue this conversation then once you've seen what we're working on on PBE?
LPL teams have multiple venues with different tech teams yet, pauses like these are rare.
What is going on with the LCS production?
I'd say pauses like this are rare in LCS, too. In this instance, the game did not load. When that happens, everyone who was in the lobby is unable to rejoin a game (since the game still thinks players are in the "ghost" game). We have a fix that did not work, so we had to swap to a backup client. Not really something we can control, unfortunately. Apologies for the delay all the same, though.
Since no one is watching, I can complain I was banned from NACL for answering someone's question to the Ryan Gosling meme, and now I can't type literally any word, even champions, players AND teams in the main Riot chat without it being restricted "due to conflicts with the channel's moderation settings."
I'm not even mad. Maybe it's Riot giving me a subtle nudge. I just wanted to support my teams...
What's your twitch? I can ask our mods to take a look.
Hey Phreak thanks for great video again. Azir seems to be picked in LCK quite often(of course data isn't enough yet and global presence is not that high so far), do you think he will be nerfed soon or later? if so, what kind of nerf are you planning?
56% presence so far.
Also the pros aren't trolling their builds, which is nice to see.
I'd be pretty happy with Azir at ~50% presence for the rest of the year. I hope we don't have to act.
Also, there is a bug where if you overheat with E (instead of Q or W), your first auto attack while overheated doesn't get the increased AS bonus. Makes jungling a lot more painful, as you have to pay a lot of attention to what spell you use to overheat ( u/PhreakRiot ).
Hmm, I'll look into it. Could be in how the abilities apply your buff. I didn't change any of the scripting around applying the passive activation so this may be an old bug, but still a worthy fix.
Context behind Shiv's disable:
If Renata ults someone with non-basic attack ways of applying Energize (Yasuo, Yone, Ezreal, MF as examples), the underlying Energize scripting wasn't setup to properly reset what team you're allowed to damage until you discharge Energize with a basic attack. This bug obviously can't affect someone like Lucian since he can only discharge it via basic attacks.
Weird amalgam rules like "You can't buy Statikk Shiv on Yasuo/Yone/Ezreal" was potentially a reasonable option but something like "You can't buy Shiv if Renata is on the enemy team" creates were draft constraints: What if you locked in Kai'Sa or Varus attempting to play the hybrid build but then they picked Renata? That's pretty troll.
Anyways I fixed this bug in 13.11 once we learned about it.
Hi Lexi!
Hope you're well, i'm just being curious about a long lasted topic for one of our beloved champions, Shyvana.
Maybe you can't answer right now, but you might the best one out of Rioters to give us a good state of where she currently stand, as you might have notice (not only on Reddit but also from previous polls) there's a big community behind our lovely dragon lady awaiting for her well deserved VGU.
Are you able to expand on that? Of course if there's details you can share on her!
We have not started working on Shyvana. Currently, the team is focused on getting Jax and Skarner out first.
You can always blame me, personally. I am here for you, stealing the LP from your pocket.
Phreak seems to be quoting Reddit a lot when it comes to changes. I wonder if the balance team have people that browse the Korean or Chinese equivalent of LoL discussion and see what they have to say about balance.
We do, yes. A mix of things like patch reports that come from regional offices, balance designers that speak the different languages, etc.
We have a Weibo account that we also use to communicate with Chinese players.
I personally try to stay up to date with all the different regions to make sure I'm making the right decisions.
me because I put you in loser's queue
Any thoughts going towards Triforce Kindred // Hecarim right now? I don't think they are autowin, but they both seem to be very strong right now
They're quite strong right now.

We use a lot of survey data. It's really interesting what kinds of things players in other countries consider big issues. Obviously it's really hard for most of us to interact on non-English social media.
Ah, that makes sense! Thanks.
You're welcome :)
