Aside from colour, what clarity integrations were made to make the characters abilities readable? Surely having over ten abilities that are just 'magic paint' would be challenging.

How long has he been in development? Because it was mentioned that three different Routers worked on him. If it happens as Seraphine, that she is played more on support and APC, would you allow it or would you make the changes needed for him to be a midlaner? Hwei can be support, and there are no high skill support champions, maybe Pyke, will you design a high complexity support (enchanter, for instance)?

Does Hwei’s kit revolve around the number 3, similar to how Jhin revolves around 4. To me it the number seems to occur a lot not only in his kit but in the lore as well ie (3 teachers.) Was this done on purpose and if so can you explain is their a deeper meaning to it?

Given the unique nature of Hwei's kit, with a total of 9 spells that perform simple effects, would you ever consider buffing him by replacing a spell that proved to be underwhelming with a different spell? Or even the othet way around if he's too strong? Or do you think number adjustments should be enough to balance him properly.

The problem isn't where human resources are spent, its where monetary resources are spent.

Riot is paying people to work on these things, and not paying enough people to work on gameplay, the client, the engine, etc.

And Riot already has far more funding than 99.999% of games will ever get, while doing less than many. Saying they need to nickel and time everyone even more for the game to stop its tailspin isn't really helpful.

Riot has had the money to make improvements that needed to happen 7+ years ago for nearly a decade. Its silly to think money at this point is the reason why things don't happen.

Its intentional that the game isn't actively improving anymore because it makes money whether it does or not.

ty for the answer! Last question: Will Skarner come before the marksman since Riot meddler says Skarner will come fairly early next year

One thing that would make me care about passes again is if I knew I wasn't paying the same amount for less content each time, do you have any plans to address this moving forward?

Thanks, Probama

Would it be possible to make a system where the player would be able to choose which mission "path" they follow. The other being the one thats live now, so just grind games, and the other would be a path that would have more difficult missions but would give out a little more tokens as a reward for choosing the "harder" one so there would be a reason to choose it out of them both.

Can you share a little bit about what the live team does and what kind of technical background is needed? I've always wanted to throw my hat in the riot games ring but never feel like my qualifications match up with what is open.

Can you confirm the current order again? I forgot who was coming out first next year.

it's funny because if Riot had made it completely the opposite, where you have to literally play specific champs or changed your playstyle completely or play off-role just to finish the missions, people would complain as well.

I can already imagine the post "Missions forcing me to play differently from my playstyle, and that's annoying, I just want to play League my way".

The idea of missions is to make you play. OP isnot their main target audience, if OP is already playing many games a day.

Hello Lexical, I enjoyed the 4 champs this year, will there be 4 too next year? And are there any plans to do an Arcane collab again or something special for the big anniversary for league?

out of curiosity are champion shards given out in a way that lowers the rate of champions i can make the mastery 6 or 7 with. Like for example if i just need an ashe shard for mastery 7 craft i never see an ashe champion shard drop. i have champions that are mastery 7 ready for months but i never see their shard drop.

it already involves spending, to craft mastery tokens you need to spend blue essence which accounts that dont have all champs and like to play multiple champs cant afford

Originally posted by F0RGERY

Related to cosmetics but not pricing, it was mentioned in the last dev vlog that mystery icons and wards would be returning in the next Blue Essence Emporium, but the FAQ does not currently have those items listed (despite being updated last Thursday).

Did that plan change, or is the FAQ just not fully updated?
