There are a number of Pro View bugs I am experiencing:

1) If I navigate to the Pro View VODs page, I can see all the games and a hand symbol appears but clicking does nothing, no VOD will load. The exception to this is the MSI best of 5 series which I can click on the numbers 1 -5 and load a VOD.

2) if I am on a Pro View page I cannot navigate to another Pro View page, i.e. I cannot navigate from Pro View Watch to Pro View VODs or vice versa, I have to exit to another web page and then reaccess Pro View.

3) the volume randomly mutes itself over and over again every few seconds. I have to reload the page when this happens to make it stop.

4) The game actions on the timeline randomly stop working every now and then regardless of what you do with the settings. I have to reload the page to get them back.

I am sure there are others...

All of these with Firefox on windows 10.

Wow, thanks for the post! I will add all of these to the bug list and we will start trying to reproduce so that squashing can begin.

I posted this somewhere else, but I'll share again.

My #1 desire for it is to be able to pop out individual streams into their own windows while they are sharing the same video player settings, so if I pause one, they all pause, and they are all synced together. I have two monitors, but with proview as it is, I have to keep it on a single one. I'd love it if I could have the proview on my main monitor with the main stream on the second with the sound of the casters.

I tried to do this by having two instances with the eye button to share, but when I click in and copy the link into a new tab, it just shows the vods page for proview. Maybe this is because it doesn't work with vods, maybe it's an issue on my end, or maybe the functionality isn't there to have two synced connections on one computer. IDK.

I'm not a dev, so I don't know the complexities of popping out individual streams but staying synced. Might be hard when considering VODs (which is 90% of what I...

Popping video into multiple browsers is something we have chatted about internally. It does work with watch with friends as you mentioned, but only on live games (a bug we need to squash). We are also investigating more user control over audio for sure. Thanks for the feedback!

Range indicators (that only the spell's caster sees) being visually too short is 100% intended.

Feels better to see your indicator and "cheat" it slightly when the spell goes farther than to think a spell will hit based on the indicator only for it to end up falling short (which will happen if the indicator shows the "true" range due to travel times).

Hi everyone - quick update from our side, it looks like google is experiencing major outages across the board right now which is affecting watch.lolesports.com (all the things, but Pro View most heavily).

So sorry about the problems, we are triaging actively on our side.

What's the best way to submit feedback to y'all? Proview is at a state where I don't regret my purchase, but I wouldn't buy it again. With a few small changes, I'd probably plan on picking it up for next year as well.

Share it here! We have been collecting lots of feedback from reddit and twitter and will be pulling it into a backlog of work starting tomorrow :)

My favorite thing about jungling is that it’s a role that’s always about opportunity costs and making decisions with imperfect information.

If you farm an extra camp, your forgo tanking a lane. If you gank a lane, your camps go unfarmed. All of this while there is another player somewhere else hidden on the map that’s making the same set of decisions for their team.

That being said, when you jungle well, you can be highly influential in a game. Also when you out jungle an opponent, you’ll feel like you’ve downloaded their patterns into your brain and know their every move before they make it, which can be ultra satisfying for some people.

If all of this sounds exciting to you, then jungling is definitely worth pursuing.

A couple of solid resources for me have been foxdrop and Virkayu’s YouTube channels. They have a great mix of champion specific jungle guides along with broader tips for all junglers.

tbh that should just be implemented as a feature, basically toggling audio on/off for the main cast (or pov cast)

Agreed. We are exploring better ways to enable user control of audio first thing Monday. :)

TF originally having his ultimate as a regular skill was balanced.

If I’m playing a game and I make a mistake, then see a teammate is going to flame or be disruptive in chat, then I’ll mute them and do my best to shake it off and focus.

The other thing is if you play with friends, make sure you choose friends that are more focused on having fun than winning.

Playing League is all about having a good time and peeling away at that never ending onion of mechanics, strategy, and game knowledge. Try to be a positive force for change in your games and mute when it’s getting to your head.

I'm an Insighter who works on the Skins team, and Riot Sirhaian is one of the most amazing people I've worked with. His craftsmanship is out of this world, and he's always looking to make something that wows and delights our players.

...no, that's not right.

...He's always looking to BLOW OUR F*CKING PLAYERS' MINDS. (!!!!!!!)

It makes me so happy to see him getting some special recognition here. He deserves it. Way to go, Kevin!

I’ve really been enjoying these as well. I think these updates are not only improving clarity and learnability of gameplay but also clarity and strength of character fantasy.

Something I've always appreciated about Riot is not paywalling everything possible. It really feels like the people at Riot really understand that a quality experience leads to more long term gains.

I work in sales and marketing for a small, family-owned, business and have carried that idea with me to pretty good success. It has lead to initial talks from the owner, who was concerned about me giving options to customers for free, but they were very pleased when the good-will lead to more revenue a few months later.

Kinda weird, since I'm a customer Riot profits from, but I gotta give them props. Once I realized it was working on me, I learned to apply it in real life to decent success.

It’s hard for many game companies to think past the current quarter’s results which ultimately ends up creating behaviors that prioritize short term revenue over long term player trust.

Really happy to hear that you’re finding ways to build relationships with your customers in a way that works for your business. :)

LCS please. I need a weekly segment tracking Rick Fox's ranked progress. He represents the good and purity of NA.

I would tune in every week for this alone.

Before working at Riot, I worked at a variety of other companies that would rarely if ever give away free content, and then furthermore their paid content was often pay for power, putting free players at a massive disadvantage to paying players.

Glad to work on a game where you can’t buy in-game stats. Even happier to work for a company that’s not so tight fisted when it comes to giving away free content.

Thanks for the kind words u/Karbairusa.

Hey there klaus and whatever other rioters are watching, I love the idea of pro view and will definitely be adopting. Have you considered looking to other streams that watch the game, say LS or members of lpp and having the opportunity to sync their cast onto the preview stream. Like a select casting audio, main broadcast, noob friendly broadcast, ls broadcast etc. I love that you guys are finally trying to make the lcs feel like more than just a watch on twitch video. Cheers for the hardwork

Yes! We have talked about this a bit internally, but nothing to promise yet. We want to see how influencers approach the product and go from there.

We will be starting work on it next week!

Hey Slayr,

Thanks for sharing an idea and for supporting the sport! To make sure I'm understanding you: do you mean to include a stream from someone else like from the league partner program available within Pro View?

That's an interesting idea I haven't really thought of, but there are lots of other people working on all this who might have :) I'll at least bring it up so there's a conversation about why it would or wouldn't be a good direction.

I wish I could upvote this more than once.
