FWIW the winrate difference for LT vs. Conqueror on Yasuo mid is 0.2%. For Yone mid it's a small but more meaningful 0.9%. Though in both cases, Fleet Footwork is +/- 0.1%, so we're pretty much just within variance and it's not like LT is completely warping these champions' power levels.

That said, the numbers shift more toward LT for top lane where auto attack trades are much freer but that's also the less popular role for both champions.

FWIW, the intent for Rocketbelt is that it's the single-target access item. It's meant to be the burstier "I'm going to get you" option. Its success on champion like Akali (who largely just get their one kill with E+R) speaks to this item doing reasonably well there. Obviously it also fits the "I just need target access at all" crowd, like Fiddlesticks, Singed, and Galio.

Night Harvester's goal is to be the long-duration teamfight reset item. It's why its damage is per-target and why its mythic passive is ability haste. It's meant to be the long-term one. As further evidence, Rocketbelt has a once-per-teamfight cooldown on its active and is never reliably going to hit more than one target. Thus I think flat pen would not make sense for Night Harvester's initial goal. If NH users are meant to eventually fight everyone, flat pen is not the stat for that. Haste does make more sense as an "I'll get to you eventually" piece.

Now that's not to say Night Harvester...

Thank you and I will pass it along!

FWIW Zed ultimate is also the "same amount" of true damage.

Both abilities only pass through resistances once. In Zed's case, I believe it stores all the damage pre-mitigation, then passes it through armor for the pop, and for Yone's case it passes it though post-mitigation, and so it's already gone through armor/mr for the pop.

TBH just to make players feel better about it, all abilities should probably work Zed's way because of posts like this. I'm legit not flaming you. It's just not really that intuitive. But they're functionally identical except for generating posts like this.

Imagine building LDR on Yasuo, though. Like I thought Yasuo players weren't very smart (trust me, I am one) but that's a whole new level of just giving up on rational thinking.

AFAIK Kraken Slayer's interaction here is intentional: it's meant to be functionally on-hit for melee champions and on-attack for ranged as a melee/ranged balancing lever.

Thanks so much! She's awesome and it's great to explore her inner world/imagination.

IMO Jorn is indelibly tied to Pentakill. I would love to see him continue as long as PK goes. Which is hopefully for a long while.

I f*cking love them. There are plenty of creators out there who have a specific lane of expertise who I really think add a lot to the overall conversation and it's deeply appreciated. Especially the music producers in the community; I think it's all super valuable.

I worked on the Villain MV and one of my favorite things of the last few years was TB Skyen's HOUR-ASS-LONG breakdown of it. It felt so validating, and I know Trizz (the studio who made it with us) had a similar reaction.

Right on, thanks so much! Appreciate the nuanced question.

Lost Chapter is legitimately so great and I gained such a big appreciation for PK through it. I'll definitely pass the kind words along to the composers & musicians!

Much love to you too! Seriously, that's what makes music so universal & cool and it's awesome our stuff hits home for you that way. Be well.

Mutaris hears you, my child.

Our Love. I just adore it.

Personally, as a non-composer? God, just talking and hanging out with people smarter than you about music. It's really special to be able to talk with someone making a K/DA track (for example) about what it feels like viscerally to you, then digging into the guts of their process. Helps you articulate what you hear in better ways.

tl;dr, listen to a bunch of music, but talking to people who deal with music in different ways is key and has personally helped me understand a lot of nuances there. Bonus points if you know they're smarter than you about it, haha.

There's not a single thing we could do that doesn't also involve the help or creative collaboration with multiple teams at Riot tbh. As music we're a bit more insulated from, say, the actual games themselves - we're just more naturally detached from that specific part of things most of the time, so it's "easier" for us avoid some of the critique - but we all have the same values and share the same goals, and Riot really is a place where you can't do sh*t unless you have the coordination and support of people who work on different things than you do. Narrative, Audio (who helped provide voice acting talent for PK, for example), skins, etc. were all key for the last PK campaign, including a ton of other teams and individuals.

And hey, we're going to f*ck up -- that's a given! As music, I guarantee you we'll miss the mark occasionally given a long enough timeframe. That terrifies me, of course, but it's life. It'll probably make things better after we do. This isn't a post to ...

Thanks for the kind words! Believe it or not, that's actually an Alex Seaver/Mako track that he wrote for that scene. I don't know if we'd ever release that as a standalone track as it isn't really mixed as such, but works just fine in context when given the vintage vinyl treatment and room reverb in the scene.

This is delicious feedback, keep it coming btw everyone

I've been playing since season 3 and I'm still playing around 1-2 games a day unless things are busy. I barely play any ranked though - I usually play feast-or-famine top laners and I find the game to be most fun when going for the limit-testing all-ins rather than the more methodical, cautious approach I find myself taking in ranked.
