My hope is that most people are mature enough to realize that what I’m saying is actually nuanced. There’s a lot of daylight between “we should do more to support content creators in a smart way” and “content creators > everyone else.” I bet dœnkey understands that too.

Of course some people are going to refuse to see the nuance, but I don’t think that should keep us from talking honestly about our policies.

Specifically dinkey was referencing that Lyte quote to imply that we shouldn’t whitelist streamers for the PBE queue. I disagree with the quote in this context and with denky’s sentiment.

Riot’s thinking about how to support content creators has evolved a lot in recent years, and we believe there’s basic stuff (like LPP and other forms of support) that we should do for streamers. It’s just good business, frankly. And we should’ve been doing that stuff sooner.

Not talking about bans at all here—that’s not the context dönkey was referring to either.

riot employees enjoy watching one of their favorite content creators play the game they've worked so hard on

This. Seeing people play your game is—for me at least—one of the most powerful and rewarding experiences you can have as someone who works in games. It’s even better if you like the person playing it. We got to have this experience a lot with TFT over the last week and it’s been incredible. Really, genuinely uplifting.

yeah obviously but also dænkey is hilarious and makes good sh*t

honestly I’d just like to talk to him 1:1

despite the salt everybody at Riot would actually love for donkey to come back. every video he posts gets shared around the office

and f*ck that riot lyte quote—everybody knows dankey would get top tier influencer treatment if he came back to league lol

Really appreciate the feedback, also the way you’re laying out your perspective in a super productive way.

100% hear you and we’re looking at ways to make this better moving forward.

You hit the nail on the head. It can already be a frustrating experience when there’s a new mode that you want to play and it isn’t available. The frustration levels definitely go over 9000 when you’ve paid money and the mode isn’t available or if there are long queues.

No problem. Thanks for playing League and TFT. We’re incredibly grateful to have fans that are passionate enough to give us feedback and help us improve.

Hey Folks. (Responded in the other thread but also writing it up here as a reply)

Given that TFT is a new product, we had some uncertainty around coupling it with the Arcade Event. (Ex: If you bought the pass with the expectation of playing TFT for tokens and then we had to take down TFT for some reason, that would be a pretty frustrating.). Given TFT is in beta we decided to err on the side of caution here.

Note: TFT is still not out in every region, and the team still has a lot of work to do in order to make it available globally along with following up from a stability of service perspective.

Regardless, we absolutely hear you, and we are looking for ways to adjust other event passes this year to include and accommodate for TFT.

As a Kai'sa main, I approve of this

I definitely hear you on the lack of Honor progress. I don't think we have immediate plans to bring Honor into TFT, but that could change in the future.

It's definitely a possibility, especially if we want to give out XP through TFT.
