Goddamn /u/RiotPhlox, this was a great read. THIS was the extended from the mind gameplay thoughts that we have been missing. Biggest difference I feel is that since Irelia changes is likely your work, the writing feels genuine.

I appreciated that Yetter had this impossible challenge of writing for entire teams of people at once on his own (!), and that always requires a distillation of the content to represent the larger team. But it ended up reading like singular paragraphs for the last while.

I'm really looking forward now to the future quick gameplay thoughts each dev puts out if it stays like this. Hopefully its more content, more topics, and more detail since a single poor soul is no longer burdened with the task every two weeks to come up with something.

Thanks! I really enjoyed doing this so I'm glad you all enjoyed it as well

Great read, and very welcome to have this sort of insight on mini-reworks. I had no idea the Game Analysis Team existed.

Also now enemies can see her passive stacks.

Thank f**king God. They finally swallowed their pride and caved on that one.

The Game Analysis Team (GAT) are real lifesavers sometimes (all of the time). They're great people and real value

Is Ender casting today?

Just the desk. Too hard to cast on a delay with a caster in berlin unfortunately

I think it's safe to say Ender is still apart of the broadcast team.

Sirhaian is one of the best pickups Riot has ever made, it's amazing how much stuff he has added in such a relatively short time. Really talented individual

Kevin is a national treasure, and we are incredibly lucky to have him!

You do these updates mostly as pet projects iirc, right?

Absolutely love them. Any teasers on the upcoming vfx updates?

Yup! I was really impressed with the new Zilean appearance in LoR and I just had to update League's. :)

Took longer than I'd wanted, but better late than never!

Just to be clear, all of the other skins that used his old base animations will not get the updates and still use his old base animations? So they will still be throwing that ugly ass popcorn around?

Just curious since it seems like each of those animations are the same (e.g. Time Machine Zilean and base Zilean have all the same animations), to a layman like me it would seem like a copy/paste for the old skins that have no different animations. Thankful regardless, but just curious.

The skins using the base VFXs will get the new base VFXs. :)

Is there a reason why the rest arent being done? I'm not complaining, his work on base Zilean is absolutely superb but to me it feels weird to update the base skin and leave skins like Blood Moon and Groovy untouched.

It's due to their pricing. I'll tweak the Blood Moon and Sugar Rush ults to match the new base, but I cannot touch any of the other skins because their price is too low. I did add some sand in his Shuriman skin, though!

I wish his Q was greener like his LoR counterpart. The green looks amazing on LoR explosion.

I make them a bit more blue to get a compromise between the glowing green of LoR and the beautiful cyan of his League splash. Also green tends to look like a heal, especially such a vibrant one, so I delved more into cyan/teal. :)
