League of Legends Dev Tracker

To be honest, we've been trying to figure out how to talk about it for a while. This is a pretty weird problem to have. Like, players love this mode, and also the mode makes players churn. That's sort of hilarious and terrible at the same time. So, before talking about it, we first wanted to really investigate the issue and make sure it wasn't just some sort of one time thing.

I've been personally battling for a long time to not have to kill URF altogether. Our team has been jamming on iterations over the years, and once we noticed that the first runs of ARURF didn't suffer from the problem to the same degree, we decided to keep experimenting with it. Since ARURF also tends to solve some of the other big design problems URF has (poor champion diversity), we now feel confident enough about the path we're taking to address it.

OFA doesn't actually exhibit any of the problems URF does. It's in the clear!

I'm sad we couldn't get it working in the back half of this year while we were building Star Guardian and Project modes, but I'm hoping we'll have it running again soon.

I wanna play OFA Xayah.... XD

Every ARAM with me is a skin boost game :)

I know several Rioters who set up smurfs to stay incognito for various reasons. I haven't set one up yet, but for me its appealing because I feel a pressure to be good at League. Unfortunately I don't play nearly enough now to ever make significant progress.

Usually though when people notice a Rioter, they're excited and we tend to have fun with the players.

ayyy

This is correct, and I also agree that it does not help with the silence

That's precisely why I did not want to leave the thread without any answer at all. There is clearly a lot of (understandable) frustration in the thread, so the easy way out would just have been to ignore it, and wait till we are "Ready" to share something else.. but we really want to change that dynamic and be more open, so I opted for jumping in, to at least acknowledge this, and let you guys know that there will be a follow up before the end of the year (and that's not too far off)

Hey Guys, we hear you. We want to be more involved and open when it comes to our communication and engagement with the community, so something like an AMA makes total sense.

NA just had the announcement for the NALCS teams so from a timing perspective their AMA made perfect sense. On our end, we are still tying some things up, so it will take just a bit more time, but you will definitely hear more from us before the end of the year.

You've got a fair point. We didn't set out to make the best board game out there, and we don't have any illusions of having done so. We, and most particularly Kades, felt passionate about the space and wanted to deliver something that provided amazing value to the board game community. During development we knew a vast majority of LoL fans likely hadn't played anything since Monopoly as a kid, and so one of our goals was to make it something that showed off the great social aspects of board gaming and hopefully pique their interest enough for them to take a look at many of the other amazing games out there now.

First of all, thank you! You beast. Once preseason goes live, please reach out to player support and we'll do our best to properly reward you for Rune pages you unlocked with RP.

Holy sh*t this was amazing. Great work, really enjoyed it. :)

Can confirm every rune except for the last inspiration keystone has been revealed.

Appreciate the kind words!

I GUESS IT'S TIME TO UPGRADE FROM OUR $15 AMAZON ROUTERS - WE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD DEAL BECAUSE IT SAID ROUTER AND MODEM IN ONE!

On a very simple level, imagine your router at home dying during a LAN party, you guys are still going to lose network connectivity even though you weren't using the Internet.

S+ TRANSLATION SORRY I AM NOT GREAT AT THIS!

YOU ARE VERY HELPFUL THANK YOU!

Oh wow that's sneaky; I was wondering why I never got a reply!

Thanks for reaching out. :)

Hey everyone,

Some quick information:

• The issues have nothing to do with Chinese production
• The connectivity issues are internal, it's not Worlds 2012
• After pausing, we're having some client problems which are causing us to have to pause and restart the clients

Unfortunately, 2 of these issues happened at times where players were impacted by them which meant we opted to use ...

I'm sad that I don't know pasta well enough to spell it after being at Riot for a while... Also, of course you're entitled to think whatever you like, and it's fine if we end up disagreeing or agreeing in the end.

Some of the reasoning behind a beta format was to avoid forcing all players to upgrade to the new experience all at once and give us the ability to test things out. There are definitely a lot of new fancy animations, and I'm fine with or without them. I can see how it can be frustrating for it to be fairly flashy. As for the other client concerns, we do still have people working on the client and fixing those bugs / concerns, but we don't have as many people completely dedicated to it as we did before.

If these animations bother you, you can modify the low spec mode in the client settings. I have a feeling you're referencing the engineering blog and being interested in seeing more posts about prioritization, but if not, you can see a little bit more about ...

Would you like any peppers or anything?

Of course! Thank you for playing League and helping to give us memes to kill! :)
