Thanks so much, and tbh thank you for calling out the mistake. Critical feedback, that's politely written is such a pleasure to see. Keep it up! Feel free to tag me or DM if you hear or see anything in the future.

What are we looking at

Riot's 2018 Mass Champion Survey

What's the sample size

pretty massive, about 200k total respondents, though they only see a random sample of champions so I think per champion per region it's like 500 or 600.

What exactly was asked?

[Likert Question] This champion's visuals are appealing to me. Another version of this survey (data not shown) uses MaxDiff or best-worst scaling, so "pick which champion is most visually appealing and least visually appealing: Ahri, Yasuo, Irelia, Akali." (and then tons of different permutations of that).

What did people judge?

Up for interpretation. This question is left more vague (others are more specific about ability visuals for example), but I'd say most people answer this according to splash are and in-game model. We have more specific questions, but ...

Thank you for this. We just pushed out a hotfix to make the damage correct, and will also have it as part of the 9.8 patch notes.

Yasuo just has some of the best moments in the game for me. I also love samurais, I love katanas (inb4 I studied the blade), I really like this theme, voice, story... I could go on and on about Yasuo.

Best way to describe my love is that nothing beats the feeling of E-ing and E+Q-ing through minion waves chasing people down, running from a gank, or skirting around in a 1v2 or 1v3.

There's a famous Arkadata 2v5 play (almost a 1v5) where he gets a quadra kill despite being like... 2-8? or 2-10? Anyways it's just amazing when you can play the champion perfectly and have these incredible moments to outplay our opponents. That's what I love!

thanks bud, I'll keep it up till we nerf yasuo again then im quitting

I think you underestimate how individually strong G2 is. Even assuming the meta forces G2 to become more "standard" I think they've demonstrated they can play that style too.

They arguably have the best players in each role from Europe remember.

Personally not a fan of this argument. I feel if anything, G2 have proved that they bend the meta to them, and not the other way around.

it's not "trackable", but it's data we generate through surveys. This particular survey is our 2018 Mass Champion survey which features data on all 140+ champions, has 30+ questions/dimensions, and is fielded in NA, Brazil, Korea, & China (soon to include EU and Vietnam for the 2019 version).

I stream Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays & Sundays. Usually nighttime PST for Tue/Thur and morning & afternoon PST on the weekends.

I had a similar thought as well, but our localization teams are pretty good at capturing the intent of the question and not just the raw translation.

Also we found that these trends of champions hold through in other visuals or theme-related questions on the same survey:

• Overall theme (Visuals, story, personality, VO)
• Visuals are high quality (favors newer champions, but china still gravitated towards older champions insofar as they were attractive humans like Ezreal and Lux)
• Unique and original champion
• Interest in physical merchandise (good proxy for intent to purchase something I like/think would be visually interesting or appealing to show

Outside of the survey we also find that champion playrate data in china also support some of hypotheses RE preferences for human champions, preference for conventionally attractive champions, etc.

This is not the version that went live yesterday. There was a bit of a mix up and one of the alternate edits ended up being uploaded. Its still mostly the same minus something about an "LCS"??

Something I felt veyr strongly about this split was that Perkz could bring more to the table than just ADs. The added flexibility he adds to G2s draft by simply being on the roster is something few teams in the world can compete it.

As an AD carry player, there are better in Europe, but as a botlaner, he's number 1 for me!

Haha that's fair and it was 100% not my intention.

I was trying to find a succinct way to say that stylistic miss matches defined the weekend, I didn't find it that eloquently in front of 10k people and just summarized it with rock paper scissors. That was NOT what I intended. Thanks for pointing it out! I'll rather just stick to 'facts' instead of trying to add layers to the discussion.

Even reddit wants to touch my knee?? Where do we draw the line?!

I agree
