Fun fact actually, you need to be from the United States in order to apply for Survivor actually so since your from Canada you wouldn’t have been able to get on the show.

I’m not exactly sure whether its like US citizenship or actually being born into the United States, but it was actually something brought up to CBS a lot and starting this next application, Canadians can now apply so your Survivor dream can still happen though!

I'm in there!

Don't think it was fully documented on site yet but the tooltip for Aftershock also mentions that resists are now a flat 70 and scales with 50% bonus resists.

Also /u/greaterbelugawhale, you put on some Shaco changes right

yeah we are testing boxes not being auto-triggered by sweeper / control ward. Does mean that pure melee champs like Tryn basically have no way to clear the trap without getting feared, but so far it hasn't been that offensive to playing against experience

I only have one question. How did you try to balance TT long before you worked at the company that created it?

We = Riot. I’m speaking as a representative of the company.

On another note, I really hope you guys don't change the stat adjustments too often. You put up the initial changelist, hotfix in another bunch of changes, and then added even more changes in 9.8. It's too much to keep up with.

For me, ARAM has always been about good champions and bad champions. I get excited about rolling a strong champion or having a really good team. I need to be able to actually assess whether a champion is good or not. It's exhausting keeping up with 30 champions being adjusted every week. Nothing feels worse than being excited to finally get Mundo but then get melted because he got +10% damage taken that you didn't know about.

I'm not saying to keep the OP champions always OP, but you should stop doing microadjustments every patch and just do bigger changes every 6 months. That way there is time to adjust and get used to the new OP champions (and the changes keep the mode fresh).

I have a feeling that your goal is to make it so that e...

Agreed. We do NOT want every champ at 50. Goal was something like 60-40 that maintains the existing power structure (sona ziggs still strong). We hit 58-43. 55-45 is the farthest I’d go.

And updates will likely be every ~4 patches

Sounds interesting, how did the team react on the Ivern-controversy? If you don't mind answering q:

I'm assuming you mean Dunkmaster Ivern? And sure! I'll share what I'm able. Ivern is a particularly special champion for a couple reasons. First, he has an extremely low playrate. So when we make a skin for him, we're hoping to make those few players who play him happy. And while it seems like making a small group of players happy would be easy, it's actually super difficult: fan-followings of low-popularity champions tend to be HIGHLY opinionated and divisive. So...we're working with a tough crowd lol. Second, Ivern is a difficult champion to make skins for. He has an "in-your-face" personality, with animations and VO to match. He's an outright goofball. And unless we're willing to change just about everything (as we do with Legendaries and Ultimates, which require a LOT of dev time), it's hard to find a thematic that still fits him. So, that narrows down our options a bit. These are all things we knew coming in, and so we knew making a good skin for him would be a challenge. W...

Why no official Riot-name on Reddit ? :/

It's not an automated thing when you get hired -- you need to poke the mods. I just poked them this morning =D . So hopefully you'll see it change soon!

I'm going to miss that bumpy fist on top of the logo

also, looking at the graphic in the article, a lot more thought goes into these than I once thought wow

I had the same reaction when the announcement was made lol. Apparently it was a nightmare for anyone who had to work with it.

For a game with a community so incredibly large, you all do a pretty great job. Riot is definitely a company i bring up when talking about game companies that try to make their community happy, even if it isn't all the time.

much appreciated, friend :). We can't make everyone happy with everything, but we try to make sure everyone gets attended to in the grand scheme of things! fistbumps

whose job is to advocate for player voices

So what you are doing is being on reddit and update on the latest front page threads? Lol

haha! There's a little bit of redditing involved, when I'm feeling up for it. I'm actually the Researcher on the Skins team. I study player sentiment (opinions/feelings) to make sure we are making things that people actually want/like.

There's a pretty big space of reasonable patching strategies between "please nerf objectively broken and game-warping strat that's been here all season" and "please don't upend the entire game with giant class reworks immediately before the year-end international tournament".

The "been here all season" line is SUCH an exaggeration.

Ardent Censer Relic Shield was undiscovered until LCK summer playoffs where Afreeca pulled it out.
