🤔

do you even work here anymore???

Thanks! So to pull the curtain back a little (get outta here RiotAether don't DM me on Slack ty), the team that handles this type of video content (the team I'm on, which also includes written content like Champ Insights) has ramped up a lot in terms of size and scalability. But we are a Riot-wide team, meaning we handle all of Riot's games and products like music.

All of this is to say, we're working on it^TM

But we also need to work on other games ;)

/u/Cashmiir Do the next one at noms. I want someone to explain a new syndra ultimate using meatballs as props.

As the producer, my responsibilities include things like making sure that what we're making is on track to hitting our project goals, making sure that folks on the team empowered and able to do their work to the best of their ability, and making sure we stay on schedule.

For example, we didn't have a super easy way to scale the size of the VFX of the spell you see in the video, so one of my tasks was understanding what issues the artist was facing and working with them and our engineer on the project to figure out what solutions existed, what the feasibility of them were, and which we should go for.

The designer, as the name implies, is responsible for designing Aurelion's abilities. This isn't to say they're off on their own though. The development process is very collaborative so everybody on the team is always sharing ideas, feedback, etc. :) The designer may bring an idea for a spell to the table, and then work with our artists (VFX, SFX, animation) to figure o...

Rob is ASol's producer!

I'm a big fan of this type of work. Over time, players find the cracks in champion designs or the game changes such that they don't apply as well. Giving a second pass (What would we do differently if we did it over?) is a great opportunity to breathe life back into stale characters.

...unless?

jk I'm sorry Rob

Can confirm.

It was a joint effort, but our visual designer Tee (y'all might remember her as Mom Cat from patch notes past) came up with the final!

This is that Rioter in the video 😉

He is an ASol lover

It is possible! Earn Bonds for Taliyah (check her Guardian Stories section).

Hey, that's not true. This is a mistake in the FAQ, apologies. The weekly missions unlock at a certain time and remain active until the final day deadline.

Nice try Rito

His numbers should clearly be tuned downward. I just feel like this balance state existing for 0.1% of League’s lifetime is just not that big of a deal.

Hey Everyone!I want to give some thoughts here.
- Generally it is easier to voice out negative sentiment online versus positive ones. I have so far heard Akali players both for and against the VO changes.
- Generally change takes time to get used to and it will take time for those who love the change to voice out their opinions. Its very common to reject change.
- Ashly is a great VA and have some really great work as Akali including her work as part of Tales of Runeterra video.

That being said,
- I very much understand that the Base VO and the multitude of small variations that makes Akali distinct in our minds (laugh etc), is very beloved and has its own apeal.
- We want Akali to stand in the middle of Zed and Shen as Chaotic Good. The new VO does make Akali more heroic, but potentially lost some of the chaotic/anti-hero elements.

As it stand, it would be hard to re-record lines (with these directions I think Ashly would nail!), but this i...

Fair enough! You'll still get all the rewards either way, so you do you.

We designed that feature for players like yourself! Still, give it a read if you want to later on in the event. It'll still be there and you won't have missed any progress :)
