Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, it's hard to capture how HUDs operate in just a still image.

It's funny you bring up the dragon race inwards/outwards because that is something we talked about several times. We may end trying both directions to see what sticks.

Gold difference isn't gone, it just isn't captured in these stills - still a feature, and will be visible in the lower 3rd!

HEy /u/FelysFrost can you elaborate any on what makes the HUD feel like 2018 mobile gaming? What do you like / dislike?

Hey /u/MuffinLoL can you offer any specifics on what is frustrating you with the HUD designs? We are here to learn :)

Glad you like it /u/Sockmonkey2878 if you have specific feedback (what you like / dislike) drop it here!

Hey Giobru, what kind of refinement is top of the list for you? We are definitely looking for user feedback!

game needs a reasonable mixture of high/low skill cap and high/low skill floor. most probably wanna sit as close to low floor+high cap (easy to pick up, hard to master) but its good to have a few champs that scream outplay with high skill high floor as well as the opposite

This gets confounded further by the reality of your opponents skill changing as you get better at the game. ie: some champs are low skill floor if your in bronze-gold but impossible to learn against masters+ without flailing on the keyboard for a while

ya the timings too tight

oh sry, this was something I was testing out but its very unlikely to ship.

while I was looking for something to reduce the counterplay (ccing zed out of his ult is pretty easy when you get good enough, forcing him to WRW or otherwise never take the initiative), this was actually too hard to use for most people, such that it ended up feeling almost random where you ended up for the average player

I know you are memeing but this rule is for low level games where they duo top

An addition to this I forgot to mention: * There will be very clear messaging if you're identified as lane swapping. "Lane swap detected: please leave the area!", we might have cooked with how noisy it is * We considered referees enforcing it but what if you have a failed invade top side then Keria walks slightly too close to top on his way out, does the ref pause the game and threaten a yellow card - "don't take one more step or it's a violation!". The more we thought about all the edge cases and needing to define them the more impractical it became, as amusing as it'd be to watch

Mind messaging me your username so I can look into it?

Here's a good resource to start with on general principles: https://youtu.be/-pglxege-gU?si=-E5Xl8mCMTFdFDiU&t=0

I've posted comments on how League matchmaking works in the past, mostly in the 2023 timeframe if you look through my comment history. This is a reasonable summary

"If I knew a champion was nerfed in this modes, I wouldn't play them"

This is one of the reasons right here. Champions that are nerfed in these modes tend to be strong, not weak.

If you read "Ziggs does 10% less damage" the reaction is to not pick him because he's "bad". The reality is that he is still very powerful.

Understand the pain point in regards to wanting a source of truth, but showing nerfs/buffs in champ select could often mislead players who care about power into picking the opposite of what they're looking for.

You got to level 35 in 4 days?! That's insanely fast progress.

I'm guessing patch 11.22 had a lot to do with it. She still didn't get picked for a while after, but that patch made her significantly more consistent in executing her combos. Sometimes it can take a while for changes like that to catch on, especially on a champion who had been considered weak in pro for years.

I'd say it's significantly more likely, because you're in low diamond skill level and that's where a lot of people at the top of new smurf accounts and people who are resetting out of diamond in the early parts of the season go

the emeralds look like they're actually diamond players, so since you're the only one in the lobby whose mmr is stable it looks like you're playing with emeralds, but they're actually diamonds like you. They just haven't played enough games yet

just took a quick look on opgg. doesn't seem to be anything particularly wrong. the plats are obviously smurfs and most of the emeralds seem to be ex-diamonds who haven't played enough games yet for their visual rank to stabilize. you also lost a ton in a row, so you probably lost a lot of rating

Something is weird here. By this point bounty deprecation should be affecting K’Sante and even though two of Vi’s kills are low value (0-1 and 0-2 Rell) she should have accrued enough by this point.

I’ll try to investigate.

Pass me opgg?
