Maybe just shorten it to be like Blizzard: Soon (TM)

That “Soon” is trademarked so don’t wanna step to close to that. Jokes aside new features like this have to be rolled out carefully in order to ensure stability and quality of the broader League of Legends service. So no, I’m not tired yet. :)

This product is still in the works. We’ll be communicating and sharing more details as we get closer to launch.

Holy Fiddlesticks Poggers. EU is too insane.

so you outlined a policy that could be potentially abused by foreigners, but didn't think to check to see how many players would abuse the system or place any limitations on the policy?

remember that you could destroy the development of an entire league region with your faulty policy

what are you going to do if many teams abuse the system? are you just going to cross your arms and frown and say "oh well guess NA is done"

it isn't too late to place limitations on your policy

also in the future please don't implement policy without first getting an idea of how it will be used by the people under you or place limitations on a policy until you see it used in practical applications. it is better to be conservative in cases like this.

There has been one greencard application granted in the three years this policy has been active (as I mentioned above). I would hardly call that abuse. I know of at least four applications that were abandoned because the process to get a greencard is not easy. We don't track active applications because the process is really lengthy and often not carried to completion.

except you are destroying the NA scene due to USA having easier immigration laws

a lot of imports will become NA residents and those teams are just going to import more koreans

the situation is destroying the local NA player base because they can't get enough competitive league scrim time against top tier teams

are you familiar with the EPL? it paid the most so the clubs brought a bunch of foreign talent to play for them. this hurt the development of English international soccer for many years.

you can add restrictions to foreign born regional players. for example, 2 imports, 2 NA players, and 1 person who is either a foreign born citizen or a NA player (a flex position).

the reason this thread was made is because your current system is going to destroy the NA scene and the crucial development of NA league. look at the state of NA league under your old and current rules. something needs to change soon. the NA league scene can't handle a...

I wouldn't go as far as you do in describing the state of the NA scene, but I do agree that development needs help - we need to do more to support the amateur system at a minimum to make sure that we are developing really good talent at the base levels. We have a vision that we can take the 13 year old with high mechanical skills, create an aspirational system where he/she wants to play, and where he/she can get coaching and all the other aspects of a team sport that our LCS teams say is missing from developing players - so that when they turn 16, they're ready to crush in Academy and everyone is watching the calendar for them to turn 17 and become LCS eligible.

This development solves the root of the problem. EU only has 11 imports across their league because the EU scene is really strong (and really big) and they can develop amazing home-grown stars (from 30+ countries...) like Caps. We aspire for a star making machine for US and Canadian kids that want to be on stage so...

This discussion has me curious, so yes (although we're unlikely to actively track - more likely to do spot checks).

Hi Samspudzz,

Due to the widespread google outages we had some issues with authentication and logging in on watch.lolesports.com. This should be fixed now, so if you are still seeing a purchase prompt please DM me and we will try to hunt down the bug

We had several issues over the weekend with the rewards platform, but it should be healthier now. If you still see issues overnight ping me and We will follow up. Sorry for the interruptions everyone!

LOL love the name.

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).

Comment

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.
