Skarner + ZoeR is so rude and hilarious.

I actually really enjoyed it on Vladimir. It amplifies his laning annoyingness up so much with having reliable empowered Qs.

Why the One For All game pacing instead of traditional Summoner's Rift? Do casual players prefer it that way? Seems like it makes the mode less complex and gets boring quicker for no reason.

OFA pacing was a short hand way of stating what the pacing is, but it's fairly different in a lot of ways. You do start at level 3, but levels 3, 4, and 5 take a bit longer to rank up leading to more of a laning phase than what OFA has.

You also get your summoner ultimate near immediately (~2:15s initial cooldown). So, before level 6, you're effectively playing your champion's base kit with someone else's ultimate. Which means you still have to very much think about how your lane matchup might go. Starting level 3 helps mitigate a lot of the worst cases that generates.

Have you really PLAYED League of Legends if you haven't Blitzcrank hooked someone then Lee Sin kicked them into your fountain?

Any plans to bring back an Odyssey-like gamemode? Shit was fire.

Nothing planned. While some players really loved the PVE modes we saw engagement with them drop off incredibly quickly, which makes them hard to justify versus doing modes like Ultimate Spellbook here.

Any plans on adding more ultimates?

Not this time at least. Assuming the mode is well received we'll bring it back sometime though and very open to different ults if we do so

Worth noting - you don't get to pick from any of the ults each game, but instead get presented with 3 to pick from. Even if something like Olaf ult on ADCs is incredibly optimal it'll still be fairly uncommon.

I don't think it will be a permanent mode so I wouldn't worry too much about the longevity

Event Mode's the plan, not an always on mode. If reception is good we'll bring it back again though certainly!

Why players aren't on studio? Weren't they playing in studio last split play-offs already? I mean pretty much everyone got vacinated and there is massive competition on other sports already even bringed back crowds of thousands. I don't think bringing 15-20 extra people on LEC studio changes anything. I have no idea why they don't bring players to the studio

f*ck me up, Arcane. I'm ready for it. (I'm not ready for it.)

Yeah I'm aware of that lol and assumed that was the case to a certain extent. What confused me is how the LEC has had casters/crew in studio for a while, even before vaccines were super available, but they're hesitant to re-introduce players?

Hiya! Currently in the studio we follow strict COVID-19 protocols, which includes significantly spacing out our crew's working spaces and locations, and isolating different groups of the studio from each other.

Without getting too far into detail, while our testing and safety procedures have allowed us to return into studio, we do not have enough physical space to handle the flow of 100 additional people in the studio safely (10 teams x 10 people per team + additional catering staff and crew needed to support all of them!).

It's notable that for playoffs, when only 2 teams are in the studio per day, we were able to have teams return to play on the studio because we were able to manage the smaller number of people.

The safety of the players and our crew is our top priority!

I teared up a little when I saw this. Seeing Jinx and Vi animated in something like this after 8 years is really something. Loved every second of it.
