The fact that he can do it so quickly and effortlessly on camera is kinda bothersome lmao
He waited his whole career for that moment
Read moreEvery single Rioter I have met (either randomly in-game or IRL or on social media) has been so nice and helpful and has gone above and beyond with outreach with the community. Like, it's one of the best qualities of the company that I've been applying like a madman to work there. I am not gonna say the company is perfect, since no such company exists in terms of being "perfect," but it sure as hell is attracting a bunch of really awesome folk that I would love to work with sometime during my lifetime. I may not qualify to work there now, but I'm gonna keep on applying until I do qualify.
Even the more popular (read: publicly known) rioters I've met in the most recent season-start of TFT when the ranks were reset (like Blaustoise) were honorable and met every single criteria outlined on the Summoner's Code. I played SR with some super awesome folk this past weekend.
Also, many thanks to /u/Cash...

Big ups to the balance team, this patch looks great
Is there any plans on changing the interaction between Cull and Relic Shield? Relic Shield procs no longer count as a Cull stack.
Oh sh*t that bug made it to live? I'll follow-up.
Hey dude, speaking as a Jinx main and big Aphelios fan... is there any convo internally going on about Runaan's? That item feels so difficult to build now; it's so hard to justify building another 3400g item when you already have mythic + IE in any full crit build.
I love the addition of the bolt damage level scaling to open it up as a late game AoE damage option for stuff like Jhin, but is there any chance you guys could revert the addition of AD so you can drop its price again?
I'd love to see it lose the AD and drop down to 2700g (so it'd match the other Zeal item prices, which is another +1 IMO). So basically compared to before preseason it'd have -5% crit, -2% MS, and +100 cost, but gain the bolt scaling. It'd still leave it open to people like Jhin/Cait late game or as a boot replacement while also making it feel good to buy again on the Jinx/Aphelios/Kalista/Twitch crowd. It's the only true disappointment I have with the item changes!
much love
It's meant to be a later-game purchase than before (trust me, I play a LOT of Jinx/Aphelios and I feel you). I suggest giving second item Stormrazor a try, as I agree 3400 is a lot of gold for a second item. That said, its still a good pick-up if you have the gold, so don't count it out just yet.
Reasoning behind nerfing Jhin in the same patch that Lethality for ranged gets nerfed?
He was good even without lethality, his win-rate with Galeforce (which we are buffing) was still quite high.
Several people have reported this bug but I haven't seen anything about it for a while, but preferred item slots are not working at all right now. Are you guys aware of this already?
Nope I had no idea. I can follow up on that.
Please make it so muramana has a damage by mana cap instead of nerfing ability so i can still go it on ad casters
We have some good ideas that should fit your playstyle, stay tuned.
Can I quickly ask about how the team is feeling about Kai'Sa at the moment? Judging from u.gg you would think that she would be getting nerfed since she has double Samira's pickrate w/ a higher winrate in Plat+ / Diamond+ / D2+, but am I correct that you're waiting on seeing how crit buffs help some of her counters (e.g. Caitlyn) before hitting her directly?
(If you do nerf her, please hit her early game)
Yeah something like that. We expect that crit buffs help her less than a lot of her lane opponents, and if that doesn't keep her win-rate/play-rate at appropriate levels we will follow-up.
how low of a winrate does gp need before he gets looked at?
People are looking at him, hopefully the crit changes help some too. We will definitely keep our eyes on him before pre-season ends.
Does Riot not want Morgana to be Midlaner? She is intended to be locked as a support only pick?
Nah she was just sitting above 55% win-rate, just a tiny bump to get her closer to most other champs.
community- fix adc
riot- nerf lethality and the only currently viable adcs
We are buffing Crit as well this patch (it's in the post), stay tuned.
is it scary to pump ability haste back into the system? the game feels SO good with cdr being "rare"
and do you think nerfin manamune mages and lethality for ranged is just gutting playstyles or?
thought the system would encourage creativity and such
We will nerf the items (manamune and lethality for example) if they are too good on the non-intended users, keeping us from buffing it for the intended users. For example, manamune would have to be nerfed because Cass and Orianna use it too well, even though the intended users (marksmen/fighters) are looking (mostly) balanced with it. It's not to stifle creativity.
It's pointless to ask since we're gonna know it tomorrow anyways, but what is the planned change for lethality with ranged champions? Is it gonna be 50-80% as effective for them?
Something to make the effects less... effective on them like it was in 10.22 on Duskblade for example, or like the current eclipse melee/ranged split.
Hi /u/RiotRayYonggi! Thanks for the awesome pace of preseason patching, its been great. Three quick questions for you:
What's your/the team's thoughts on Nunu's current state?
How is Maw of Malmortius performing? Any buffs in future so its a better pick up for marksmen?
Any thoughts on reducing mid game level differences between duo bot lane and solo roles?(lvl 10 behind adc vs lvl 13/14 solo lanes).
Nunu seems strong right now, the tank item nerfs should target him a bit.
Not sure about maw, I do know that it's not meant to be the primary MR pick-up for marksmen (Merc should be that), but not 100% if it's looking balanced overall.
Level differences duo lane vs solo lanes is a big controversy I see around a lot. I agree it can be drastic at times, but I know that before we changed it, top laners would have low chance to influence the game if too much of the battling happened bottom lane 2v2. The XP change kept the game from being decided too heavily just in bottom lane. It's possible it hasn't aged too well, not sure.
How is shaco not part of the ‘tiamat compensation buffs’ that makes absolutely no sence, he is the one that relied the most from it
Just at a glance, his win-rate is not nearly as drastic as the other champs listed here. If he's an outlier after these changes I'm sure we'll follow-up.

It's a change to make it more about your teammates proc-ing than just you doing the damage. But you can do whatever your heart desires sir
To be fair, that's with Shift being held (the "more info" button).
All the scaling and such are collapsed into one final number any time you first glance at it.
Big changes incoming. Squeezing as much as we can into each patch without sacrificing our ability to understand the effects of the changes.
