Sweating bullets
I just realized I need to hear you as a guest caster of Geoguessr
Omg Flowers and Rainbolt together would be so goated
Oh yeah, if you don't have a desk or something in front of you then I think it might work a lot better haha. Also how do you watch TV while stitching?! I am always looking up and down but I feel like I'm always missing stuff!
ADHD lmfao
I actually have one of those standing things and I HATE it! Usually I do my work on my computer and it forces me to sit way farther back than usual, it's a pain in the ass to store, and it doesn't ever really sit in a stable place that I'm used to. Though what doesn't work for me may work for you but that was just my experience with it! Is there a link or something so I can see what one of those square things are? My girlfriend works at a craft store so that where I get all my supplies but I havnt really looked outside of that for anything before.
I use a hoop when I can just for convenience, helps with hand cramps from holding the fabric too. But for this one, since it was so big, it was basically covering the entire span of fabric, so on the tops and bottoms as well as the sides it wasn't feasible to use one.
I really want to invest in one of those standing/lap frame holders. I feel like it'll help with hand cramping because my hand holding the hoop always cramps.
You should check out the square PVC working frames. I swapped to one a few months back and it's been great for square projects.
Thank you so much! It takes more time, but I really don't like stretching string all over the canvas. Especially if I make a mistake and have to take it out, it makes the whole thing confusing haha
Yeah same. I try not to run more than like 5 squares, but sometimes I'm just immensely lazy T_T. Do you hoop stitch or hand stitch?
Skill Level Consistency Across Queues
They imply your ranked MMR will affect your normals MMR, I have to wonder if it goes both ways (or will they potentially even share MMR?) I doubt it but if it does then things will be quite funny
Match Balance:
Role-based matchmaking: the return
There are some cases that are just egregiously wrong, eg. a Challenger solo queue player should never be rated as a Silver in normals.
We need to find the right values for this though, because we know that different people approach different queues with different motivations and play habits.
eg. Many people play different roles, play more with friends, play "trolly champions" and we don't want to apply a broad brush across all of these different motivations. So this will take some time
Woooaahhhh the back is so neat for a full coverage! This is incredibly impressive!
Will there be lore progression for older champions too or will it be mostly focused on new releases?
A mixture
/u/RiotMeddler also wanted to ask if you would if the new thematic seasons would be part of the one canon stuff you guys talked about last year. I know gameplay stuff is (understandably) detached from story, especially in a game like league, but it seems you guys are implying that there will be more to narrative outside of new champs, which makes me excited
There'll be some lore stuff in the thematic seasons yes, and it will be part of the single canon approach we're taking.
Nothing about Drakes Sadge
What were you hoping for about Drakes? I expect we'll get back to them as a system at some point, they're not an immediate focus at least though
is having different theme for each ranked split like Wild Rift?
wherein a major patch for each season reset in a year would bring a different gameplay change?
We'll still be doing larger gameplay changes at the start of the year, then smaller updates throughout the year. There'll be some stuff at the start of each thematic season, but not a full season start worth of gameplay change.
You said as well each season would have its own narrative. Is this a way to bring lore and short stories back a bit?
We're looking to get some more immersion in the world, the factions, greater understanding of champion motivations etc in for sure. We'll be trying some different approaches than short stories though for it, want to find ways to get into the lore that more players will engage with
Ultimate Spellbook will be out next patch.
I'm sure all 7 people who enjoy that mode will be absolutely thrilled.
Historically at least Spellbook's been a surprisingly popular mode, both in initial play rate and lasting play rate. It doesn't get the degree of hype, or polarized opinions that URF or Arena generate, but people for previous runs at least did play a lot of it for as long as the queue was up which is pretty uncommon
And he can hurt you
I mean, yeah. He's Gragas. He'll kill you in a combo, while being highly mobile and tanky. This time though, he'll do it with even more style and appeal than usual.
/u/RiotMeddler are you not scared that unlike valorant, trueskill2 could be "gamed out" in league? e.g players figuring out that x or y metric is influencing the most and trying to min max it instead of playing the game? Also what about "alternative" playstyles like inting sion, bard top etc that could be completely killed by that
That's a large part of our caution here. We don't want a system that results in players playing the algorithm instead of trying to win the game for their team. That's why we're in the middle of a lot of testing right now, trying to determine how to get much better accuracy without introducing factors that will eventually get discovered and exploited

And then some people want random champions in Arena, while many others don't
For what it's worth, I'd personally really like that version. I don't think it's a particularly widespread belief however
Any reason why Ambessa wasn't discussed? was she delayed to 2025?
Ambessa's not delayed, she'll still be out this year at the time originally planned
When we get fairly close to a champion's release we generally avoid revealing further info in videos like these so that champion teasers, marketing etc have more room to do interesting stuff
You mentioned in the video that the plan was for each split to have a champion associated with it, both in terms of thematics and in terms of being a new release. This is something somewhat done this year (3 champs release schedule, with 1 release per split/season).
Is that the plan for champion releases going forward? 1 champ release each ranked split, for a total of 3 champs per year?
One champion per thematic season with strong integration with the theme of each season is the plan for 2025 at least. I think it's quite likely we continue that approach in 2026, but we'll see what response from you all is to this approach before making hard calls on future years
