yeah, we've actually tuned down how saturated her skin is and added some more violets (and a little pink!) to her hair and VFX since we captured that video. A lot can change in a week! We'll make sure to share a new video next time :)

HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DESIGN ULTIMATES WHEN SYLAS CAN JUST STEAL THEM!!!!1!

Oh snap, you right. I had forgotten about that. I just remembered it was easier to point out from the main page.

Do you all coordinate with the nexus page people? I think it would be nice if the nexus "Teams" page had some sort of navigation to the watch.lolesports teams page since the nexus page is what you first see when going to lolesports

I haven't done any work on nexus but we do talk with the team that's working on that end of things. It seems all sides are aware that the current experience can be frustrating and we all want to make it better. I don't have any concrete timelines for you on this but know that we agree with you and we are excited about improving things.

Even scheduling TBA vs TBA or MSI opening game is more than enough honestly. Appreciating that you're hanging out here hearing the complaints, but I'm honestly kinda baffled that there just ist a major schedule with the gross outlines. I should be able to tell you when the summer final is, you guys know it too, same for worlds.

People see the regional final, or the start of the playoffs, and want to know when the winner is gonna clash the rest of the globe. I should be able to scroll down on the schedule and see this

While we're not always responding to everything, a lot of the team is here reading the feedback and we do discuss it. That doesn't always mean we're able to act on it immediately but know that we appreciate the feedback here.

Also, Pulsefire Ez's Q had shorter range for a considerable time, soooo...

That wasn't actually what it was. The player who showed their evidence did the experiment incorrectly. Rank 1 Ezreal Q had more range than the other ranks (IDK why, it just happened). Their Pulsefire vs. regular Ezreals were different levels.

Ohh ok. Thank you.

Are there plans to make "Teams" it's own dedicated page like it was in the past, where you can just click at the top? Having to go to standings seems like extra clicks and unintuitive :o I kept trying to wade through the information in the Nexus site for teams thinking I'd be able to find the classic "Teams" info like rosters but it was just news. Looks like the LEC is missing this button too, though the team pages are a bit more fleshed out.

I believe the Standings tab on the old site was called "Teams & Standings" which is definitely clearer but also a little long so we shortened it. Thanks for letting us know that this wasn't as intuitive for you. We'll keep an eye on this one and possibly look to change the name of the nav item in the future.

Is there any way to see match statistics for LCS games anymore? The only way I can find to see stuff like damage percentage is to look at the stats during the game, but it seems to be impossible to look at this stuff after the game is over.

Unfortunately there is not a way to view this information right now.

I line that one honestly.

Ne having to use third party websites to know when MSI starts is stupid af tho, why isn't this just in the schedule by default? Like lec summer split start, worlds 2019 start etc. Now way they don't know that yet

Hey, I agree this can be a little frustrating. We're currently waiting for the group draw show to happen. Once that happens all of the schedule data will be in the system and we can display it on the schedule on the site. This means MSI should be on the schedule no earlier than the 23rd or 24th. I'll talk with the team about better ways to message this in the future.

More info on the Draw Shaw here: https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2019/04/msi-2019-play-in-draw-show-guide/

Boy, you must not have a very stressful game development career if this was the hardest call. =P

Possibly. I pride myself on being pretty decisive on a lot of things, often logic and weighing the pros/cons can get to a quick decision pretty easy on even complex issues (like say which features to cut in a game). But this call was extremely complex and a lot of it quite subjective, which made it quite difficult.

Mate, the 70-70 track is where it's at. This music played only when both teams nexus' were at 70 or less health.

If you'll forgive me a minor drunken rant about things that are in no way your fault, the fact that a web designer can somehow screw up scrolling is insane to me.

I'll take this moment to say I'm not criticizing y'all as bad designers, but criticizing HTML, CSS, and Javascript for making that possible in the first place.

Sidenote: I'm one of probably a single-digits-number of people who use a mouse without a scroll wheel (random HP 3-button mouse I bought off eBay) and while I love it for gaming, dear god, does everybody and their mother just assume you have a scroll wheel these days. Using middle click to bring up the little scroll thing works in most things, but then some programs (like WINDOWS EXPLORER FOR SOME GODDAMN REASON) just don't support it, so I have to click on the scroll bar/arrow keys (BTW your website supports this, but only if you're not mousing over a match. Amusingly, it works on the filters on the side, but not on the...

Haha, drunken rant accepted. Going to be real with you here. I've been designing for lolesports.com for 4 years now and I don't think not having a mouse wheel has ever been brought up or even considered. Unfortunately I don't know how or why things aren't working as expected with your wheel-less mouse but if you do and have some info for me I'd be happy to pass it along to our engineering team. I can assure you we've got some top notch talent working on the engineering side of lolesports.com, but I'll give you that no one has tested anything using a mouse with no scroll wheel. :(

They also only have LCS Teams instead of LPL, LCK or EU teams and what if I wanna look at other regions' rosters and subs?

Check out watch.lolesports.com and you should be able to access all of those things for the leagues you're interested in.

Wait.. I've been avoiding it ever since they changed the format of the site because I absolutely can't stand it. But how do I even look at who is on the teams???

We kinda soft launched this feature because there isn't a ton of information on the pages atm (just rosters), but we do have new Team pages on watch.lolesports.com. You can access them from the standings page of any league just by clicking on the team.

I would also like to mention that the new "Schedule" tab is f**king awful. Before you could just select which week you would like to look at, now you have to scroll and scroll to look for certain matches and sometimes it just bugs out and resets your scroll. It's so bad.

Hey, sorry to hear you're having issues with it resetting your scroll position. That should not be happening. If you're able to find a way to consistently reproduce it, please let me know so our team can look to fix it. I'll go ahead and mention it to the team so they're aware of it.

As for the changes we've made to the schedule layout, we looked at a lot of the feedback we've received over the years. Two versions ago, we had a global schedule on lolesports.com and we got a lot of feedback that it was hard to find matches for just a single league.

So when we redesigned that to make it easier to find schedule information for a single league, we ended up splitting the entire site into content by league. So you select a league then go to their...
