Yeah but the comment I was responding to was 4 hours ago

Absolutely! You're pretty early, I found out about game audio even being a career option in my junior year of college :) I like to help game audio folks because we are a pretty small, tight-knit group in the games industry.

Also, if it helps, I'd like to plug my blog / website here for you to read, if you're interested! It goes into detail about how I got my job 4.5 years ago. https://danielkimaudio.com/blog/2019/11/18/how-i-got-my-job

Hello Vixiara!
Here are some different tips depending on where you are in your journey as a sound designer.

If you're a complete new beginner to sound design, try downloading Reaper (you don't have to pay to use it). This is a great Digital Audio Workstation that I and many professional sound designers use at work day to day. There are lots of great tutorials on Reaper on YouTube that you can find.
Sound Design doesn't mean you have to record everything from scratch - although that's really cool if you can do that. But sometimes we don't have a lot of time to do so and that's where Sound Libraries come in.
However, they can get a little pricey, so to start, try downloading lots of free sounds from 'Royalty Free Sound Effects Archive: GameAudioGDC. Then, just grab some clips from any videogame trailers or cool gameplay footages, mute all the audio, and try your hand at placing sounds and making it sound cool.
You're also going to want to get your hands ...

Yup, I almost wanted to bring that up too, lmao. I’m sure a Sneaky/Zven bot lane would have been fire, but that might be relying a bit too much on hindsight for this particular discussion.

If you wanna go tit-for-tat then Nisqy and Licorice didn’t deserve jobs either for disrespecting their teammates and threatening the owner?

Yeah, and of course Zven is a quality player, very bright and intelligent too, but I mean… Sneaky had Zeyzal and Zven had prime Vulcan.

The problem was clearly roster construction, not Sneaky’s individual play. He was one year removed from sh*tting all over an LCK team in the World’s QF.

Boy I work American corporate, it’s a soulless existence but nobody at my company would ever think to give an ultimatum like that to our CEO and expect to get away with it.

In a vacuum, no of course not. But with context, the situation was messy, one-sided, unprofessional, and handled without proper respect to Sneaky and his contributions to the organization as the franchise GOAT.

Acquiescing to the threatening demands of Licorice and Nisqy is pathetic (as were the demands themselves, as anyone who has ever been on a team will tell you).

Hm let’s see … maybe Jack could have told his first- and second-year player that roster decisions were not theirs to make? Especially when it’s a strong-armed threat to do what they say or they’ll quit? Have you never held a job in your life? Is that why you seem so obtuse to the concept of professionalism?

Not true, since that implies the spot was up for grabs. It was not up for grabs, it was already given to Zven.

Sneaky would have had to “earn it back” (or Zven would have to lose it) which was, of course, impossible to do since Licorice and Nisqy had already told Jack that it was “him or them.”

Nah C9 did Sneaky dirty too, believe it or not.

Hey there,

We've seen some specific program interactions potentially causing unintended FPS effects, and we're looking to gain more insight. If this is happening to you suddenly, would you be able to post your Vanguard logs to Player Support, and chat me with your Ticket #?

its just my years of experience

League won't require Secure Boot when Vanguard is enabled. That's why the modal doesn't check for it. :)

It's required on VAL but they're solving different problems for us, and Secure Boot is less critical to the problems we see Vanguard solving for League, so we don't require it.

TPM2.0 will need to be enabled though if you're running Windows 11.

League + Vanguard does not require Secure Boot. VALORANT does, but League doesn't need it, so we don't require it.

TPM2.0 does need to be enabled though if you're running Windows 11.

She's getting nerfed next patch.

Two reasons for the delay:

First, we would have nerfed her a couple patches ago, but we just went after Zaz'Zak's and Mandate, which are core to her most-performant builds. Reddit likes to call this the "Riot special." So we didn't nerf her that patch. Then it was MSI patch so we elected to wait two weeks because hey maybe we see a Janna game at MSI, that'd be neat.

Second, there are always champions that we "know" are OP but players don't. Poppy is currently an extremely high-performing support but her pick rate is under 1%. One day players will learn and then we'll act. Maokai was like this last year and then players caught on this year. Janna was in that state for a while.

Hey League sound designer here, giving some feedback as we would do in our reviews.

Q - Very satisfying punches. Love that the second hit sounds slightly more impactful than the first hit!
W - Passive activate, "Show me your Moves" is a very iconic line and used really nicely. Would be great if the red burning energy behind Sett had a more continuous sound sizzling in the back until he casts his FALCON PAUNCH
E - Love the On Cast part of this ability. On top of that, I think on the stun it'd be nice to have some sort of metallic hit tonal ringout to convey the gameplay read as a Stun. But the "Yes" works well too.
R - Perhaps a bit more physical elements of Sett running, grabbing and flying in the air can be included more. But for the actual OH, the KO sound fits really well! AMAZING editing at the end!! 10/10

Sounds good, just reached out.
