League of Legends Dev Tracker

EDIT: we're heading back to work! as always, some Rioters will stick around and continue to answer questions. Thanks for joining us, and we'll see you for the next one.

The time for tradition is over, but an AMA is still a worthy challenge. We'll kick it off at 11:00 AM PDT and run until 2:00 PM PDT. Load up the comments with your questions and we'll come out from our shroud in a bit to answer as many as we can.

Here are some of the Kinkou acolytes prepared to answer your questions: u/RiotScruffy - Lead Designer | u/Thermal_Kitten - Narrative Lead | ...

kiwikid actually was never on playtest

The entries are displayed in random order to ensure good coverage of all of them and prevent it from being just the entries on the 1st page that get the most views. If you refresh the voting site you will see that the 1st page is always different. So as an example if 50,000 people vote on the contest, but never go beyond the 1st page we can still guarantee that all entries are being seen by many eyes. We do it this way because we get far too many entries for a single person (or even a small group of people) to reasonably sift through, but a large community can do it in a number of hours. It's also fun to look at and share everyone's awesome work.

I'm on.

Added. More than happy to chat; I really just want to learn. I really appreciate the time and thoughtfulness you've put into your responses thus far, and I'm super interested to continue the conversation. I'll probably try to ping you tomorrow if we can make that work.

I'd love to have this dialogue with you over voice - I kinda hate the Reddit comment back and forth. What you're saying makes a ton of sense. I've typed and re-typed responses multiple times but trying to convey every nuance I want to, making sense, and not writing a novel never all seem to come together in a single iteration. Any chance you want to hop on discord or something? I'd actually love to get deeper into your perspectives. If not that's cool - I can try to respond here.

If I'm understanding what you're saying here correctly, it's that you believe Taliyah mains will largely want Crown's signature on their loading screen card even though they don't give a sh*t about Crown? But they want it because regardless it's a Taliyah thing? I'm happy to continue the dialogue but I want to make sure I'm understanding your perspective correctly.

You're right. This would be better with additional icons and emotes. The reason we don't have those is because we already sold them during Worlds last year, so we figured fans had that opportunity already. But I guess it does feel weird that we don't have those options next to each other. Maybe it was a mistake to test this product without having the additional options at the same time.

Regardless, you should see options more like what you're describing during Worlds this year. Does that help?

Literally hacked tech. The icon actually grants you the signature. Every border since PROJECT 2016 has an exclusive icon with it. We can't sell the icon without the border.

Hey c'mon, there's stuff to do in Montana... we have that ice cream shop and stuff.

Oh sh*t - I'm stoked these made it in. Someone did this during an internal game jam awhile back and it was night and day better. Not sure how this matches the original concept - maybe one of the devs can talk about it.

🤔

Mr. Butt would like a word with you.

Never mind that I mispelled his name and by that point I was too lazy to change things.

Yeah, we posted the full list of local orgs here.

Should be out soon in most regions. Sorry for the delay, took a bit extra time to get everything together!

the only choice is diana

i don't think we're quite that sinister

we talked about this a ways back in Ask Riot

It's pretty hairy as an idea though -- which patch? Which season? And based on what's been going on with WoW Classic, are people more into the IDEA than the reality?

It's definitely something cool to talk about. Which patch would you choose?

Hey all--Riot Smileyjoe here. I posted this on /u/Lenticious 's reply up top to get a little visibility on this but wanted to reply to u/lestargonzaga 's original post too.

Hey all--Riot Smileyjoe here. Highjacking a top comment to get a little visibility. Also going to post as a reply to u/lestargonzaga 's original post.

Wanted to share with everyone the update that Garena just shared on lol.garena.ph and the League of Legends - Philippines Facebook page so everyone here can see it:

On July 9, 2:16 PM GMT+8, there was an unauthorized modification of the League of Legends PH client lobby where a certain javascript code was inserted. This code performs blockchain mining on affected computers, which consumes CPU resources from these computers. Apart from increased CPU usage, extensive analysis from our security engineers has determined that there is no other impact on affected computers. At July 11, 4:15 AM GMT+8, our security engineers have removed this java...
