It takes either 90 continuous seconds of no input or standing on the fountain to trigger a remake, which you're warned about at the 60 second mark with a popup. Can you link or DM me your game so we can look at this? If neither of those things occurred and your game was remade anyway, that's a bug we gotta fix!
True but nerfing champs cause a certain class is meta is awful balancing. Same reason why rammus was getting buffs when he was at a 53% winrate, he's literally only picked in AD heavy comps and struggles his ass off if there arent 2+ AD champs on the enemy team.
So I agree that it’s awful balancing for competitive. But in the case of SoloQ, it’s the only logical path forward.
Should Vex or Annie sit at 56% permenantly because they play against mostly melee mids (the most popular class?). Of course not, because everyone will look at Lolalytics and see a winrate way higher than their champion.
Unfortunately we have to balance champions against the average game.
Kirei god
This is a bug and we are looking into it.
Except for the part where he's actually a kiwi... just like the pav (which you Aussies also like to claim)! 🙃
And aren't you the OG Aussie import for the LCS? Granted it wasn't as a player but it still counts, right?
Meant Oceanic not Aussie, I did in-fact forget Lawrence was a kiwi LOL
Just carrying on the tradition of claiming NZs stars for ourselves xD
And yes I always made that joke, but technically it's correct which is my favourite kind!
will this effect shaco "support" taking smite and just playing as a second jungler?
Likely we will do something like: If you don’t have jungle item, you get no cookies.
If that nerfs that strat then yes, I’m unfamiliar with the shaco double jungle.
I don't mean funnel testing. I mean it looks pretty buggy to me, that you get cookie jungle gold stacks without jungle item?
Yeah to be fair with the cookies, they went through a LOT of code changes (to fix bugs) which introduced functionality pretty late in testing that we weren’t aware of. Intuitively I (like you) would expect 0 cookies without smite so I never tested it personally or asked someone about it, but at any time that could have been inadvertently added and nobody checked. That’s how these bugs (and therefore exploitative gameplay patterns) hit live.
But, just like how we talk about it now, it’s very easily fixable.
So we are unpaid beta testers?
That is one way of interpreting. The other way is that we run a live service game that balances around player trends and metas, and spending time trying to anticipate the player behavior of millions of unique users will never result in the same quality of game for players as reacting to the feedback they are giving. If we did only internal testing and ignored what players ACTUALLY did on live, the narrative would be “Riot doesn’t listen to their players” or “Doesn’t Riot play their own game and see that X is OP?”.
It’s a balancing act. We do plenty of internal testing but testing funnel (played by .001% of players) vs testing a common pick (played in 5% of games) is an easy decision.
Great job!
This is known and we have mitigating tactics in mind.
To refer to your point about testing, no we didn’t test funnel extensively. We spend a majority of the preseason dev time on tuning the game for the 99.9%, and when a niche abuse case pops up (like funnel) we ensure we have the levers to fix it when it does. Rather than spend time inefficiently anticipating, testing, and mitigating these strategies pre-ship, we instead observe preseason and make adjustments at 5% the cost.
Yeah, Lost isn't ever going to be playing for the main roster but he's certainly better than most academy ADC's and if their goal is to have a competent scrim roster to play against internally, the academy roster makes full sense. I'm also more hopeful for Fakegod in this environment, though I doubt he'll excel too much further considering how long he has been around.
Maybe I'm just at maximum copium at this point but I'm a big fan of Lost and him being in the C9 hyperbolic time chamber gives me hope for his future.
I think his ceiling is really high, but sadly he's never really proved it at the LCS level and maybe never will.
I'll always cheer for Lawrence though. He's the OG Aussie import for the LCS.
Wow! Can't believe Phreak would say that!
Trinity force deals no damage and should be removed 😢
I'm playing on the steam deck while using bottles as a program to run an executable code I wrote and it's worked perfectly until this preseason patch of s13.
Just wondering if you are wanting some of my .rpd files? Also the drop happens at 30 minutes in almost exactly every game. So a lot of files to share
While we don't officially support playing League on Steam Deck, I am interested in seeing an RPD or two from you :)
He probably meant memorabilia?
"Swag" is what we call it, "merch" was the wrong word
So true. We talk about many things like this. eg. "Jungling agreements" is where some individual will temporarily work on a different team to help them with a problem
The amount of times I’ve said sh*t like “don’t worry, I’ll tank the speaking portion of the meeting”…I think my brain is broke.
