Hey phreak I just want to start this with saying I am a big fan. However this argument that she has a high skill expression is quite the moot point when someone got to platinum playing her with her feet while he was playing adc with his hands.

Challenger player smurfs on two accounts and winds up 1000 MMR below their skill level is not the sick burn you think it is.

What's yuumi's presence in LCS?

Picked in every single game played

LOL. Phreak are they putting you at gunpoint ? This is like saying "There were 10 millions of haters now there are 5 millions so this is a huge W"

I mean Yuumi isn’t getting deleted. Changes that go in a positive direction are good changes. I wish people would be willing to accept that.

Question for you:
Why do you feel the need to be so condescending when simply presenting stats?
Your point would come across way better if you did not add the extra noise to it.

Bad habit of matching the energy of OP. I should do better.

So, no promises, but we're considering calling the lowest tier in the rating system for the 2v2v2v2 mode "Wood"...

Considering eh?

yeah its weird. i think their intention was to let us know diamond wont suddenly be filled with plat players or something like that

Yeah sorry for any confusion, we're basically aiming for something closer to end of 2022's size for Diamond+ which is a little smaller than this Split's, but did want to be clear that that skill range isn't getting any new folks pushed into it from below because of the redistribution.

Those numbers still aren't ok.

Yeah the first two are pretty unacceptable, hence the update. At this point her pro presence is higher than we’d like, hence the nerfs in 13.12

Hi Phreak, even if the presence is relatively low and this rework made it happen - which is good - I want to ask a question:
Is it possible or has it happend before that a rework like this is reversed or replaced by another one?

It seems that the rework isn't the most popular. I was a Yuumi main myself before the rework and the new passive just feels awful when your ADC is bad and not rewarding if the ADC is good.
I have switched to Thresh after the rework and I have enjoyed it (thanks for the Q changes then btw) but it's just not the same.
Is there hope for poeple like me?

Yuumi's win rate is high and pick rate are higher, and ban rate and pro presence are lower than she was at Worlds last year.

By virtually every metric that matters the rework is a success.

I'm a big fan Phreak but is this really your take as a designer? 'It is the players and the pro players who are wrong?' That can't be right homie, it doesn't matter good the numbers look. The numbers are a way to try to quantify a game process, not the be all end all of themselves.

The old meme, a champ that coinflips the nexus exploding at 0:01 would probably not have a huge playrate and a 50-50 winrate but would it be a good design?

No, it's against the original sentiment of "She's in every other game." And the original sentiment that the update did nothing. It clearly lowered her pro presence while also massively buffing her in the hands of regular players. Both of those are good things. People should base their takes in reality, which many people in this subreddit have an incredibly hard time doing. It's not like the data is hard to acquire.

I'm not sayin pro players are wrong for picking her but let's face reality: She's in some games. She's played occasionally. She's 100% presence in the LCK, which is a weaker league than the LPL. And she's getting nerfed in 13.12, and defensibly so.

Are you saying that the general playerbase of a Champion with high skill expression was actually happy that their main's kit got dumbed down and their skill expression removed?

I said what I said.

Patch Notes was a mistake, the intended gold amount is 3200. Some internal miscommunication, sorry about that.

Hey Riru, I have a couple of concerns about the changes to the number of clash games per year:

To preface this, I've played in almost every single bracket since the beta, and there's a few things I noticed.

The biggest problem I have with Clash is just having a team that is available all the time. There are times where you will have one teammate that has to go out of town or someone cancels last minute because something comes up. I am typically the only one scouting out teammates, meaning most people aren't spending a lot of time putting together a team. A lot of players end up asking "do we have 5 players tonight" and then just play.

The secondary problem to this is that most players who are playing Clash just play Clash regularly. If you look at match history from scouting, a large group of players did play in the previous tournament, so I don't believe this is going to inflate the numbers enough to counter the bigger problem which is smurfing.

First of all thanks for your commitment to Clash and for writing this up! I think the team would agree with some assessments you've made, but I can definitely tell you we're trying stuff out.

Some changes might work (we're hopeful they do!) and resolve issues, some stuff might not and might get changed later. The main goal is to make Clash a higher quality experience for participants that feels good/worth to participate in.

To respond to your "if you just want to play on SR, you're going to have to wait two months for the next bracket to come up" comment in particular, this is actually something we chatted about today since its popped up a few times (thank you reddit feedback) so its something we're thinking about at the very least.

Meddler addressed this in another Reddit thread!
