Ambessa is going to be top at least, right?
Ambessa is top yes. I think her kit will be very appealing to top lane fighter players

kindlejack is my goat, champion of the feet
bro doesn't even like feet, which is the best part of the narrative🤣
when I heard that Kindlejack is the lead artist on Aurora, I recalled that he had a segment in Briar's insights article where he brought up the importance of her feet
didn't expect he would bring it up again lmao
"“I never thought I’d need to google anthro feet—and right after Briar—but I braved the rabbit warren,” Kindlejack laments. “Lagomorphs (read: rabbits, hares, and pikas) are one of the few mammals to have fur on their feet. And they don’t have toe beans or pads! I at least wanted to get the feet right.”
That's WHY we brought it up😎
Yeah they say that but didn't give a single example of how that's incorporated into any part of her design. They mention toe walking but didn't actually confirm that Aurora does this. A few comments about how much they thought about it without actually showing how it's included feels pretty empty to me. Why bother mentioning it in the article if you're not gonna demonstrate the point at all?
I explicitly didn't want to list out traits she has because it's a spectrum, right? Everyone's experiences with autism are different. Aurora toe walks, she has physical and verbal stims (which will be visible and audible in-game), when she feels overstimulated she has coping mechanisms like pulling down her hat and up her coat or going into the spirit realm, the spirits are her special interest, she creates her own clothes so she can control the textures, had trouble connecting with other Bryni esp as a youth, etc etc etc.
There's a lot, and a few things are mentioned in the article but are "read-between-the-lines" things. And then I also expressly did not want to call out folks who worked on her and are autistic but do not want to share that with the world due to fear of harassment.
Maybe I should have been more explicit? But I wanted to avoid spending paragraphs just listing out traits because her being autistic isn't the most important thing about her. It's a par...
Read moreIt says passive enhances her healing but none of the skills mention that they heal?
Otherwise as expected from an AP toplaner. Short range, high mobility low CD skill spammer and will inevitably join (as the last clip shows) every other AP bruiser with Rylai Liandry Cosmic the only viable AP bruiser items.
Allow me to clarify:
When she uses passive on champions, she exorcises a spirit from them, which follows her and heals her for a short duration.
The more spirits, the more healing and movement speed she gains.
She's supposed to be a toplaner? This is a Naafiri situation I think, Midlaners are gonna be all over her. (me first)
She’s actually more of a midlaner that can flex into top sometimes.

Hello! This should be fixed now. Please let me know if you run into the issue again. Thank you for reporting! :D
I think you did a good job, but at the same time, its very simple and yet not super fast. For content its ftching, shoudnt it be much faster?
Yes for sure! We had some issues with our CDN specifically that were preventing any caching, which really impacted performance. We have been slowly rolling out fixes today that should improve it substantially.
More to do this week though!
I hate the redesign but if it means the website is less buggy and I can propely see upcoming games then w/e I just leave it in the background anyway.
Hoping for less issues over time as we make updates. One big bug we recently got fixed was the forced logouts. That one was driving me crazy. Really happy to have it sorted.
What other bugs are you still experiencing?
The International Events is too big. I measured that there could be 420 fakers at 12px arial font there on my 1920x1080 instead. Much more useful use of space if you ask me. A rough draft here: https://imgur.com/a/better-lolesports-sidebar-hire-me-rito-am-free-jvi80DY
We're wasting so much fakers of space.
Wow why didn't our designers think of us? Escalating this immediately.
The biggest issue with the site was how slow it was. It still seems very slow so IDK how much I care about this
Sorry to hear about the frustrations with speed :(
We discovered some problems with our CDN caching right after launch, which unfortunately was causing a lot of slowness. It should be getting better today. Let me know if you're still experiencing issues!
Weirder names are not due to no translation, but intentional choice of change. Twitch's "The Plague Rat" can be translated directly, but rat sounds uncool in chinese, so calling it the "source' instead feels better.
There's a naming convention in chinese where using 4 words sound appealing. It's like how most champion's titles are "the [adjective] [noun]" or "the X of the Y". Chinese can translate that while retaining the appeal, but has more difficulty with the ones that has abstract titles like Yasuo/Yone (The Unforgiven/The Unforgotten). They are given completely new titles that describes their overall character (Yasuo = Swift Wind Blade Master, Yone = Spiritual swordsman who seals demons) for the sake of coolness
In Chinese there are many literary choices and figurative language that makes certain words sound better together. These nuances and history are often not picked up by translation tools. Also lots of champ names are romanization of their English names, making them hard to remember. There is more wiggle room with the title to make it more iconic. Sometimes certain champions are known more as their title there than names. Ex: Darius = shorten to Noxus' Hand.
But ya there are bad translations too because each character in Chinese can mean a whole variety of things depending on context.
Are you sure that they're playing the same game as we are? 😋
Probably not! At least it feel different :) How players play: Metas, pace of games, mentality around what is broken vs not can influence how a game feel and plays out and even what is perceived as balanced. Sometimes we even see popular opinions change the state of the game.
That's literally the scheduele page with a preview isn't it
Yes, we're definitely porting more of the info from schedule to home. When we were researching the sites the predominant user need is schedule info (when is a match happening, who is playing, what was the result). We wanted to make it as simple as possible to get that info quickly!
I only ever use the schedule page and this not gonna do much to change that.
Not a fan of having a random ligue auto play or all the wasted space on the page.
Well glad you are liking the schedule page haha!
What kind of other features would you like to see on the home page? This is just our first update, we have other stuff planned for the rest of the year. More improvements to home, as well as hopefully getting into standings to improve that page too.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Skarner also does not exist as a jungle champion in China. He is only played Top Lane!
Looking into the TFT stuff!
Update: Have a bug filed. Should be fixed in an upcoming patch.

Yeah when we added fisting we talked a ton about how to make sure people were appropriately aware that someone else had initiated a fisting event. We recently added fisting notifications to chat and we think they’ve helped a bit, but maybe more work to do.
Just using the thread parlance: we call them fistbumps or reciprocal emotes internally.
