reddits time to shine
I have such faith!
On a somewhat related note - if anyone's got serious questions do feel free to DM me here! I don't have DMs open on Twitter but happy to chat here though
Who will be in his place in the future?
What i always loved about him is that i could follow him on twitter for the balance changes and nothing else. No breakfast pictures or shit like that.
good luck for the future!
Small Edit: I hope its not because People meme you so much, more than any other person on the League Team
Don't worry its not from the memes, for every meme or angry response there are helpful and kind ones too.
I'm ready to be memed to death on the MMO, been building meme resist for years.
It's normal course for a long lived game like League. People come on and off the project over time. It's healthy for the team to have fresh talent, ideas, and to let the old guard move on after many years.
Specifically I can say that the league team isn't shrinking for sure (they're growing in 2021 with lots of big plans).
Our messiah
I feel that, but her mobility also feels fantastic. Probably just needs her passive buffed and maybe her Q.
We just hotfixed a small buff to her Q and base armor
Man idk, from the outside looking in it just feels League is getting it's resourced siphoned without adequate replacement. I am happy for him of course, but he set the standard for transparent communication while he was at the helm. Is that a fair assumption to make /u/RiotScruffy ? Is the League team just getting smaller?
Best of luck.

just speakin the truth
Can't believe Paul let you get away with this.
We are aware, and plan on changing the entire verbiage around this, to reflect a more accurate representation of this option
I think it's definitely possible but far too risky.
For one, her pro presence is high enough that adding flex potential would always be dangerous; in her case it would probably be disastrous, as most of her draft responses are oriented around her lane being vulnerable.
And two, most jungle solutions would buff a pro-facing strength (Epic Monster speed).
It was really fun that she could jungle on release, and I wish we could give that back, but it's probably not great for her or the game. :(
Yone jungle when
Give us a sign if Jankos is holding you hostage
LF sejuani flair
In the meantime, expect more systemic jungle changes in 11.10, aimed at raising the jungle floor, and not the ceiling.
Can anyone explain this in more detail? by raising the "jungle floor" isn't this suggesting raising the barrier to entry? i.e making jungle more difficult to learn/play overall?
In this case it means raising the minimum output of a jungler. Or in other words, making the worst jungler players less bad at it.
Yetter jungle wins
just speakin the truth
f**k it.
Braum jungle.
Make his passive not go on cooldown on Jungle Camps and deal 200% against monsters.
Make it happen.
hmmmm
Do you think there is a way to make Kai'sa jungle viable? Would be cool to see another hyperscale marksmen in the JG.
Edit: Yeah I know Kai'sa is right a now an over picked champ that people are upset with. I get seeing her more right now might be scary, but I'd just like to remind you that JG Kai'sa was kind of one of her off roles for her first couple of patches but was never very good and dropped off.

It's not coming this week, looking like the last week of this month right now
Early ranked data is important for evaluating the balance of a champion. If a champion releases and on day 0 or day 1 they are 46%+ that usually means they are OP and could use a micropatch. Also we use "launch win-rate growth" as a metric to evaluate accessibility and mastery curve. Overall invaluable information as balancing using draft/blind pick is not reliable.
