Please don't leak our patch notes.

There's an tech blog here: https://technology.riotgames.com/

The most significant one I can remember involving Lulu wasn't really a lulu bug in particular. It was a series of bugs that Lulu was just best equipped to unveil.

For most of those ones, those have to deal with how character stats actually works. AD, AP, etc.

Every 0.25s (minimum), a character's stats get rebuilt from nothing. Everything on them gets reset, then the game readds character base stats, character per level stats, all items, all script based stats (e.g. from buffs), and then there's an optional "conversion" step (e.g. for Pyke). This process is pretty...

When she detaches, she dashes a short distance from where her model is.

Yeah for almost all purposes, yuumi’s position while attached is her ally’s position. Save the visuals you described as well as her detach position.

No problem! Thanks for the memes

Sponsorship renewals mean a lot to us. It is a signal we are doing the right things for our partners and continue to drive towards a long term thriving E-sports ecosystem. Thank you State Farm, Mercedes Benz, L’Oréal, and many others for your continuous support over the years all around the world. And props to my colleagues who keep making a game awesome to play and to watch after 10 years and keep building a thriving E-Sports ecosystem! You all rock!

Only occasionally got to work with Janelle (though she loved the dank data), but more importantly I've always appreciated her engagement with the community for the skins team. She was a huge inspiration to me to engage more around gameplay, balance, and data!

It's always tough when a talented and passionate coworker moves on, and it's even harder when they're your friend too. BUT I'm super stoked for whatever is next for her, and I'm sure she's always welcome back in gaming and at Riot specifically.

Yeah it’s a bug. Should be fixed next patch.

Will miss 😭

/u/Shynkr0 did the design for these way back when they were an intern (They're now a non-intern Rioter). This has been out for awhile, actually. :)

There's also a fun bit of tech design story to these that's a good example of "building something right" to get more gameplay space:

We avoid syncing quite a bit of data when relating to minions since they are quite frequent and there's just a lot of information to cross the wire. With item inventory in particular, every character CAN have an inventory, but only champions and towers ever had it fully synced. This was mostly just to avoid the overhead of anything else.

Well, we actually found some success of people finding the tower icons when they were just starting to get more into the game and that helped to subtly seep the more nuanced...

I miss stacking Sunfire Cape...

everytime you get a new shield. Overheal only grants a new shield if you didn't have it before (otherwise it just grows the existing shield). It works as literal to how it's worded as possible

don't worry, i'm pulling the base hp buff

Wait... so I should stop building thornmail on Ashe...? That explains why I'm so hard-stuck. :(

Cut Down's damage output is very good, particularly because Yuumi's low base HP means that it'll almost always be active. In lane it goes even with Scorch for damage, and then after laning phase it can contribute 3-4x the amount of damage.

Shield Bash/Revitalize is also a good combo, but I find that Shield Bash in particular falls off really hard after laning phase because the infrequent procs you get in teamfights don't actually. Revitalize stays very strong throughout the game though!

Just shipped a micropatch to fix this. :)
