what do you mean by three direction spread that was standard?
In the past we've shared some of the classic early concept spreads that show three different directions for a character. It's usually three spreads (but sometimes there are more) because three is just a perfect number :)
NEW To the Moon: Blitzcrank now has a chance to uppercut monsters to the moon when overkilling them
I saw some post about this probably being a bug but us claiming its a feature. Just to clarify, this is 100% an intended feature by the designer.
What’s the extent of the words that fall under that category?
/u/auberaun any chance you can help out?
I feel banter is quite important in a competitive game.
Dunno, intent is not to stop banter, but if you're not being an incredible jerk to the other players in your game I can't imagine you'd run into it.
UPDATE:
On behalf of the team, we love the excitement and energy that we are seeing for Empyrean Pyke! We really wanted to highlight the celebration of Pyke's ult, so seeing the excitement around that, enjoyment out of Pyke touching grass, and him showing off his funky moves has been wonderful.
We have collected your feedback and after discussing it with the team, we were able to make the below changes:
VFX
SFX

Hi hi- I coordinate the cosplay rules for worlds/LCS. It’s not weird at all to come dressed up! There are rules though, so let me know how to help
That point about how all the other black characters in League are defined by their struggle is one that I've never considered. Yes, character problems drive growth and create interesting story opportunities, but that doesn't mean that's all they have to have (nor does it make the ones that do bad characters by any stretch of the imagination).
I'm an African-American kid who's grown up around stories where very rarely do people who look and talk like me get to be the protagonist or hero just because, especially in fantasy and fantasy adjacent settings. K'Sante is a well crafted and interesting character beyond the color of his skin of course, but when you add that in the first feeling I get is "See! People like you are welcome here! You've got every right to exist in this place." It may seem trite or unnecessary to some but I can't tell you how much I wish I had this type of character to identify with growing up.
Representation matters.
To read this from THE IcyColdStare means so much. Thank you for sharing this inspirational message.
yeah, with the old client where that was possible i sometimes wrote down the few champions i considered playing while i was waiting for my turn to pick.
I guess there would be better ways to do this (like creating custom filters similar to what we have with the roles), but just adding the simple filter with the pipe would probably be a very quick QoL change
do you use the "favorite champions" buttons?
EDIT - Ok my takeaways here are:
First two bullet points are probably fairly easy, other two might take a bit more work. We're still wrapping up the loadout recommender/anonymity/pick order swapping so this stuff will probably won't come for a bit.
I don't think its worth adding that. Only programmers and little crowd of people understand that
as written i agree. trying to understand why they want to search for multiple champions.
This! So simple yet so f**king annoying. Glad they finally fixed it.
what else is like this?
Next please readd the pipe | so we can search for multiple champions
is that actually something you would do?
Luckily that won't stop me from forcing him bot like I do every other champ!
K’Sante would want you to live your truth
I appreciate Riot having RIGs for their minorities, but did you really need to name them Riot Noir and Rainbow Rioters?
We chose the name Rainbow Rioters. There were a lot of other names in consideration back in the day, but this one felt best. We used to be called LGBTQIA+ @ Riot and that wasn't the easiest thing to say over and over haha
What about midlane?
Could he fit a niche as a counterpick in mid to burst champs who would blow their cooldowns into his “defensive stance” before he ults and pummels them back?
I would love it if that were the case. He’s probably susceptible to getting poked out because he doesn’t have great ways of getting in without heavy telegraphing.
u/riot_llama would know more I think
Did you research any other West African countries for inspiration?? Or did the idea of basing K'Sante on Ghana come early in the development?
The team wanted to create a West African-inspired champ from early on, and Ghana was chosen very early. West Africa isn't a monolith of culture, but there's some overlap between some of the countries--especially considering much of the modern borders in Africa were drawn by white European nations and ignored a lot of the differences between different groups of peoples.
They did look at the region overall, and highlighted a lot of the regional traditions, but tried to stick closely to Ghanaian inspirations.
His mana is alright. You definitely can’t waste your W, but unless you spam q AND e you probably aren’t running out.
His laning is strong. Not top class early game champ but can definitely fight you and trade effectively. With his ult, he can definitely turn around a 1v2 if the enemy doesn’t respect the angles of the knockback
unless you spam q AND e you probably aren’t running out.
😰
what is the asian group called? how many groups are there?
There is FAR, the Filipinos at Riot RIG, who recently put on a Night Market in partnership with Riot Unidos, the Latino Rioter RIG. API is for Asian & Pacific Islander Rioters. There's one for underrepped genders and gender identities, and also one for veterans. I think there could be more, but I'll admit I'm not super active with RIGs.
Another question! How is K'Sante's mana in lane? He's got the same Q mechanic that the windshitters have, but they can spam theirs as much as they want being manaless and all. I see it's only ten mana in the video you guys included but that does add up when you're playing such a scrappy champion.
In fact, how is his laning phase in general? Does he get kicked around when his ultimate isn't up? How is his all-in? Can he 1v2 a gank if he gets ahead?

Yeah at 6'7" he would probably be closer to 320 with next to no bodyfat
Maybe gravity works different in Runeterra ;D
