AMA request: Riot EU LCS team

Comment

Which doesn't make the silence any less frustrating btw...

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.

Riot updated their site, and it looks gorgeous.

Everyone I know who actually plays board games thinks it's mediocre. Better than Monopoly or some shit for sure, but it isn't as amazing as LoL fans seem to think. If it were my first contemporary board game I might be blown away too, though, so I understand the sentiment.

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.

Let's discuss the new Runes

Comment

it's way too early to have any meaningful conversation in this subject. There's something along the lines of 30+ runes not released (Iactually think the dev post said 50+ but i don't want to dig for it) and most of these numbers probably won't see light of day without change.

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

as long as the issues don't carry over to the Bo5 stage and second group stage I doubt anyone is really gonna mind.

But the issue they brought up is "network issues", isn't everything offline? Sure it's still a network, but it is so small, compact that I can't imagine that actually being what the issue was?

Was that just simplifying it for the stream viewers?

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.

UNFORTUNATELY, 2 OF THESE ISSUES HAPPENED AT TIMES WHERE PLAYERS WERE IMPACTED BY THEM WHICH MEANT WE OPTED TO USE CHRONOBREAK.

WE CAN'T SHARE IN-DEPTH INFORMATION ON THE ISSUES BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE WORKING THROUGHOUT THE NIGHT TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER.

EDIT: MY GOLD CHERRY HAS BEEN POPPED, MAY THE FORCE CAPS BE WITH YOU, KIND STRANGER!

To start, the information I feel that is lackluster/needed is clarifying why things are done in certain fashions. To expand I also dislike the approach Riot has to most things. (I am entitled to thinking this and anyone is entitled to disagree.) Instead of biting the bullet and admitting to mistakes it always seems to come out as excuses. Besides my disdain of current business tactics/f2p model strategy, the things I want information on are the cycles of what and why things are being prioritized and worked on, a developer blog that isn't meant to be a giant visual spectacle, with more pictures and flare than actual information (like most of the crap I see hashed out)... just a blog post of sorts would do. I have been one of the bigg...

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 ...

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

The issues I have with Riot and the way they go about things is the backwards guise of transparency. They always jump on the fact they give insight and information on small and normally irrelevant changes with an attempt to be genuine on all fronts of sharing information. Riot is not a small indie company anymore, we shouldn't back down on being upset when there are small or large issues with the game that could easily be at least talked about in a timely solution based discussion to address them, just because they made progress on other fronts doesn't make my point invalid. They can't fall back to the sort of excuses they could have used 4 years ago. I feel like the lack of information then making excuses about why there is a lack of information is generally why I get frustrated with Riot overall. Anyway, I think there is a disconnect with what Riot thinks players want and what they actually want, You think you do, but you don't Always enters my head when I read a Riot po...

Hey KctheKnight,

I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't think anyone here is trying to say you shouldn't be upset or that your points aren't valid. There are things that upset me about League too. What things would you like more information on?

For what it's worth, I've worked on the new client and seen enough of the old client code to tell you that the visuals aren't the only thing that's changed. I was damn near scared to death of touching anything in the old client because of how legacy and interweaved everything was. With the new client, I've already made several changes without breaking the world, which is huge. The rewrite was a big win in helping us unlock the ability to do things like missions, clubs, etc, even though parts of those can be frustrating as well.

Every day I touch code, I try to make the spaghetti a little more like linguini, because as we thicken these noodles, it'll eventually be like a lasagna. I don't know if that's appetizing or no...

Thing is there are death recaps out there (think LSI) which are fairly good enough and miles ahead of riot's one, while also being made by a way smaller group, with no contact with the game.

Going from there, if you don't know how these type of things work in a compagny such as Riot, how would you not think that they are insanely lazy ?
You're not adressing that at all, the common guy can't understand why Riot can't do something in 5 years than an external group can do really fast.

It was the same thing with replay, people genuily can't understand why a big compagny can take years to do things than external devs can do
Once again the argument that was given was the issue being able to watch previous patches replay. While opgg replaygg etc couldn't aswell, once again, LSI was able to do that.

 

Not to say the least, but your paragraphe on runes is insanely dishonest, death Recap was broken for way more time than the dev team started...

'ello sukazu,

I just finished typing up a response to froyork, and I can understand where you're coming from and your frustration. It's difficult to take everything into perspective when just reading a response online.

I'm sorry that you feel that the runes reforged team working on runes for a year and not fixing death recap beforehand is just a joke or placating statement, but beforehand, they were likely a part of the team that was working to rebuild the legacy League Client, a project which has recently really fleshed out to being closer to matching our expectations. Deprecating the legacy AIR client was a huge win for us as it's unlocked significant potential for us to do things in the client that we've never been able to do before. The technology is finally here!

Talking about the runes team isn't an excuse, it's an attempt to try and explain how things like this work at a place like Riot. There are things that are very important to the core of the ga...

Also you are making me want to play XIV, maybe I should download it and try getting into it.

PERSONALLY I think VII has some hardcore nostalgia glasses and is a real mess.

BUT maybe she'll choose that one next :)
