League of Legends Dev Tracker

There's some pretty awesome suggestions in this thread already, but I thought I'd add a few more that I've seen have been helpful for people!

• Speech recognition: It's sorta been mentioned, but this is a common way to get inputs into your PC. Might be a good candidate instead of typing messages in game as well
• Macros to keys on your mouse: Autohotkey is the one that I've seen used most often, you can bind certain messages to the mouse and use that as a quick way to relay things
• Windows On-Screen keyboard: I'm sure there's Mac equivalents - some players use this for certain key functionality that would be difficult to bind or if they already have a lot of things bound. It's not great for if you want to type in game, as you keep refocusing in and out of the keyboard
• Pedals/other physical simple inputs: There's a lot of devices that are simply just a single button or clicker that you can tap that can provide a signal. Arduinos or raspberry PIs a...

I wish I could tell you more about next year, but to be honest I don't all the details myself. I am working in the events team - behind the scenes - on the more 'physical' execution of our shows. More and more details about EU future will surely be released over time.

Wanted to thank you guys also in this thread for all the positive feedback and appreciation this year. Cheer for your favorite team at Worlds and tune in, when we are back next year ;)

Goodbye, till we resume next year! Was lurking most of this year on reddit, but made me always happy to see so much positive feedback for our EU production!

We've used a range of Rioters & QA; this week we'll be getting additional help from the Playtest teams at Riot (much higher rank than majority of Rioters) which will help us get games that are as similar to pro play as possible along with running the maximum amount of "direct connect" spectators (explained here) to add stress on the servers.

Hey everyone,

We are definitely taking these issues seriously and it's a top priority right now for multiple engineering teams. While the shows are going on, we're running internal playtests on our offline servers to gather additional data with frequent engineering changes, improving logging (and performance when possible) to help dig deeper into the root cause.

In regards to NA LCS today, the reason for the extended Chronobreak pause was due us moving the game between servers in order to provide information into the performance differences across setups.

In the upcoming week, we'll be ramping up the amount of offline game server playtesting we are doing on the Worlds patch as well as continuing to investigate potential causes outside of the game server process (which could be adding to the performance problems).

Oh yeah, can definitely make it out without knowing much about it, but I think it is one of the most valuable things to pick up.

I think wave control is one of the best ways to improve your win-rate in silver. It allows you to assert pressure on the map all by yourself without really giving up much (assuming the other team does not know how to manage their side-waves).

Yeah you can definitely learn those things through multiple channels. I personally learnt a lot of the core concepts from watching EU and NA LCS and learnt more intricate things from streamers/youtubers. But ofc. this depends on who you watch and it is cool that there are lots of different options out there.

point #1 and #3 is learned from the casters in my opinion (but you are right, that it is not something you learn well just by watching). To be fair, those things take a while to fully understand and remember.

Edit: I can say personally, learning about wave management from the casters over the years is one of the main factors contributing to my improvements.

Some of the things I always take away from pro play:

- Wave management (when to push, when to freeze, why it matters, etc.)

- Good/creative ward locations (warding lanes, where to ward around baron, etc.)

- Power spikes of champions

We actually tested quite a few of enhanced effects in development. Turned out that it was EXTREMELY powerful and we decided that it would be too difficult to support longer term, so they became what they are today. Felt like a bit of a missed opportunity, but given the timing of everything I think it was the best decision.

This is world wide and includes Garena numbers. We are handling the payments out to the nonprofits through GlobalGiving so we have a fully auditable trail of where the funds go.

So freaking proud of how this campaign turned out. It started out as a small hackathon project we did for Bryan and turned into our largest community donation to date. $6.1M raised beat our internal goal pretty considerably and we saw a lot of people who don't even play Cho show up to support.

Thanks to all who helped make this possible. These funds raised will go to help hundreds of thousands of lives around the world in thanks to this community.

Great play!

This is my favorite kind of /r/leagueoflegends content.

Hi Firedrakez,

we're still actively supporting the Cosplay Community at gamescom every year, be it with prices or some € to help them rent the space for their Cosplay Booth. We do the same with all the booths that wants to play League. We supply them with accounts or the tournament realm and help them design small little tournaments.

I was with Riot at gamescom from 2012 to 2015 and I still miss it, but Draggles already pointed out some of the challenges we face. It is really hard to put up an event for so many people and making it a great experience. This year we have a "small" tournament on Saturday at the ESL stage, so definitely stop by and say hi to my colleagues and me if you are still there. :) Also don't miss the League of Legends Cosplay contest on Thursday evening!

"This user literally just offered you an easier way to your solution and you shot him down and told him that you would rather take the hard way by asking a community that really isnt that interested in your search criteria. "

You say "a community that really isn't that interested in your search criteria... "
If comatorium is part of the league community and is looking to connect at that level, that means you can't claim unequivocally that the whole community ain't interested in that search criteria.
Also, the probability that comatorium is the only one with that need out of millions of player is doubtful... See it this way, if one person in the room is asking, there is probably a lot of people in the room that has been thinking about it.

Finally, there is multiple reasons, ALL valid, to play video games. Some it's to blow up stress, some it's to achieve greatness, some is to stay connected with friends that live now apart because of college, etc... I d...

Renozoki, I like the passion in the topic, I think you highlighted something interesting. You want me to replace it with "looking to play with str8 people" and how it would make me feel?

Actually, it wouldn't really make me feel anything. Everyone has the right to associate with whoever they want. There is a difference between "I refuse to let "X" people exist in my society" and "I would like to connect with "X" people in society".

Also, there is books and research that highlights how being part of a minority (culture, language, skin color, sexual orientations and whatnot) and how it impacts people's personal, emotional development.

For example, a lot of LGBT+ people don't start to have actually "romantic" types of relationships as early as heterosexual people. As of, heterosexual might explore "connecting romantically" when they are young, most LGBT+ folks might explore it later when they are in their late teens/early twenties. At this point, their emotiona...
