Dude I can't believe riot would stoop this low....

To make a champion that RUNS with scissors. I don't know if I can let my kids play this game.

This is the only time it’s ok to run with scissors, kids.

Honestly I'm stoked to hear that. I've been worried for a while that the definition of "monster/creature" was expanding to include Champs like Renek or Lillia. Hearing that they count as humanoid fills me with hope for future Champion designs.

yeah we are defining it now as Human, Humanoid, and Creature, and going to be more deliberate to make sure we are making champs in all 3, though we will still likely be doing mainly Human/Humanoid Champions with creatures thrown in (Since creatures tend to be much lower playrate in general. We still want to make them, it's just a smaller audience, so we will generally make less)

Could you share if there is a new champion roadmap in the works or when we can expect one? After the new Bandlecity Mage champion or before? Or after the Ruination event?

Im working on one right now, targeting sometime after Gwen goes live

I remember a post back in January saying how this year team is doubling down on different thematics even though less popular.

While we are shifting to do less straight humans, (though this doesnt mean less humanoids, it just means we want to do more stuff like Renekton/Aatrox/Lillia as in humanoids) the effects of that shift won't really be seen until 2022, since champ timelines are so long. And this doesnt mean we don't want to make creatures anymore, we do, it just doesnt mean we plan on suddenly making tons of creatures, just less pure humans.

Thank you for not saying anything though. Definitely a pleasant surprise. I was unsure how Isolde as a champion would fit in lorewise, but this is really good stuff!

Edit: As a side, can we expect any Yorick-Viego-Isolde related lore updates or cinematics?

All im going to say for now is , the story is far from over

Anyone know what size joggers Vedius is wearing? Not sure if I should get M or L.

I was wearing a small! They fit well for my skinny ass. I really like joggers and I thought they were good, would recommend if you've got the budget.

Hey! You are the guy responsible for Sylas right? First of all thanks for caring about and engaging with the community.

Im not OP but there are a lot of reasons. Imo they dont feel strong at all, when AP Bruisers like Sylas, Diana or whoever else dont buy these items, then maybe there is a problem.

I think the way to go is to make the existing AP bruiser items not a choice, I know the goal of the Item Update was to make the champs not reliant on just one Mythic, but when there arent a lot of options for a class and the existing ones arent even bought, thats a problem IMO

Right now Demonic Embrace feels like an item for DOT champs instead of AP Bruisers, imo changing the percent health damage it does to something like the Deaths Dance passive but for every damage instance would greatly improve the satisfaction and feel of this item

I did his mini-rework, yep. Thanks for the perspective.

Demonic was the item I was most hyped for when you guys were showcasing the preseason items. AP Bruiser Sylas was by far my favorite thing to ever play in League, and I was still making it work after the removal of the shield with the ROA + Nashor's Tooth build (admittedly not the best, but it worked for me in low diamond and normals).

Demonic was great for all of like two weeks, and then people figured out that you could double-down with an overtuned Liandry's burn and build both items on literally every mage to turn everyone into an artillery Brand.

IMO, Demonic feels like a joke at this point, the resistance gain is pitiful, and the item just feels weak in comparison to any other non-troll option for a 2nd or 3rd slot. I'd much rather give up some of the upfront damage/AP for more resistances, or a ramp-up to the burn, or some CDR/Ability Haste. In Demonic's current state, it feels like it's doomed to be a weak item or i...

So your objection is mainly that you feel it's underpowered or bound to non-bruiser champs, not that you're unsatisfied with the mechanics/pattern for AP bruisers.

Comment

Do you mind elaborating on what feels bad exactly? Is it that the items' patterns feel bad, that you think they are undertuned or something else? Also if you could describe your ideal state for the item's balance (eg. do you expect AP bruisers to have choice on their second item, or do you think a better state is for them to always buy demonic embrace second?)

Zhonyas, Banshees, Demonic, Cosmic, Rylais, Morello, Lich, etc. are all meant to be purchasable on AP Bruisers depending on the game state and champion.
