League of Legends Dev Tracker

Ty.

If there's one comment that makes me flinch every time I see it, it's this one. I can promise you that the League devs I interact with on a daily basis are some of the hardest working and dedicated devs I've ever had the pleasure to work with.

Sure, throw 100 years, spaghetti code, bugs etc at us, but our drive to make the game the best it can be for every player (we're players too) is always strong. Sometimes we just can't do all the things we'd love to do.

This should be fixed this patch. We caught the bug just slightly too late for last patch and I suppose it didn’t warrant a micro patch, so had to wait til this one.

This ones on me though, if I had pointed out the bug when I first noticed it (I work on gameplay not tech so I’m still improving at this), we could have avoided having it in last patch. I’ll be sure to keep a closer eye out on weird sh*t in our builds for future.

well said, but we acknowledge EOG is the most common complaint from players and we still want to see what we can do to make it better for as many players across the board

Thanks for the feedback!

We did do a number of things for EOG (End Of Game) second half of last year, and also some fixes early this year (see previous dev posts). Although it did fix some key issues, it is still not enough since EOG is still the most common complaint we see from players.

EOG involves multiple services and interacts with things outside the client (game engine, services, client foundation), and we have also heard from players weird bugs being reported when using discord (also on chromium) with the client. All these random things, plus a player's hardware, can result in strange behavior for some in EOG.

We are launching our next comms post next Friday, but a little preview is that we are going to initiate another investigation in EOG, map everything out, and figure out where we can continue to make improvements, and this will likely require other teams outside of client to make changes too.

Thanks

I think item diversity is very good.

Sure the Chemtank junglers are running over everything. That’s obviously an issue. But I just saw Renekton build three different first item builds in a single bo5 this weekend and then the next day he swapped his mythic midgame as the game state evolved.

Lillia and Nidalee regularly build three different mythics. Supportive tops have 2-3. And that’s not counting the 2nd and 3rd options. Marksmen have a ton of choices across ER, Collector, Hurricane, PD, Rageknife, and LDR third. There are further edge cases and that’s not counting the 5-6 different first items that get chosen.

Mages are a little lean except that they choose among 4-5 of the 6 mythics every game. Seraphs is a sometimes 2nd. Void is OP though.

People think their fighter options are limited. They are not. Gangplank regularly uses like four different builds though.

We're currently testing Hecarim changes for this patch. Ideally we find a way to just push power away from tank build into fighter builds.

It's possible that we need to adjust Chemtank instead. The problem is that Chemtank is a pretty reasonable option on a lot of champions and a extremely powerful one on a handful that are heavily driving the meta (Udyr, Hecarim), so nerfs would have pretty major costs.

Yup! We mixed the Take Over theme into his R. You can also hear it during his Recall too.

Appreciate structured and thoughtful feedback. :)

(Barack, Respond to the comment about your stupid joke.)

It will be fixed in the patch being released today/tomorrow
