Update 12/10: Hey everyone, the team has gone through the post and read most if not all of the feedback. We won't be giving Warden Gragas a larger nose. We compared it with both of Ornn's models and textures and didn't think it was close e...

She's sitting at 54%+ mid with about a 2% playrate internal data which was one of the best mids. If this nerf hits her harder than expected we'll revisit but its not like she wasn't powerful there.

We can only change so many things in a single nornal patch. If we hit every single outlier on the Oracle in a single preseason patch we'd have no way to know what game balance was actually heading toward or anything. Also any time we do a system change it'll shake up the balance of any relevant characters so double touching them isn't usually worth it.

We have to change the most OP/UP stuff (or slot them for larger scope work) and do system stuff and then repeat, slowly work our way in from both edges.

TLDR: We are but we actually just can't/shouldn't do all the changes in a single patch to hit them all

Correct these are all 1350s. There are some lines like Warden and Marauder that we think deserve a fair shake at the Epic tier.

Hi there! DX11 is now on by default in PBE and certain regions. We've left the DX11BetaTest=1 setting available for players who would still like to help us test in regions where DX11 has not been rolled out yet. Like someone else mentioned, there is a setting in the League Client under Game that lets you fallback to DX9 Legacy mode. Ideally this setting should not be used but if you do run into issues preventing you from having an optimal experience in League specific to DX11, please be sure to let us know so that we can investigate. As always, super appreciate everyone's efforts and continued support around testing!

I have no idea they locked me in the R&D dungeon ^{please help me}

Yooo that Taric flash was so clean.

btw, skin winrates differences are reaaaally small.

on a serious note, I hear you can be really successful in League without ever using a skin. Some Korean dude got pretty far without them.

However the capitalist in me also wants you to CONSUME

EXACTLY

Fun data fact: the highest winrate skins tend to be the more obscure, often older skins that "true mains" use.

• For example, Yasuo's highest winrate skin is High Noon, specifically some of the chromas for it.
• This is the result of selection bias, where "mains" of a champion tend to be the only ones using the older, more obscure skins
• Some of the more expensive skins (legendary skins often) have lower winrates
• This is from less experienced players trying the flashy and expensive skins, especially when they come out, and tanking the winrate

Or it's not selection bias, and League of Legends is both pay-to-win AND pay-to-lose if you pay too much, so you have to find the goldilocks pay-to-win zone

Thanks for coming to my TED talk
