Thats what you actually are "playing" if I understand it correctly, or at least thats how it used to be.

I agree its small.

I just remember being incredibly disappointed a few years ago by the Rioter who said it would be cool if Horizon Focus amplified Vel'Koz true damage, and it clearly being approved since items, which didn't amplify true damage before, now amplify true damage.

I was simply wondering where broad stances on something like that landed now.

Pre-rework Swain E used to multiply true damage on purpose so that it multiplied him running Ignite. It was designer intent of "this works the way I feel like it should" benefitting the player being more important than rules consistency.

To be clear, consistency is never the most important rule. It's nice to have when there aren't more important priorities. It helps the game be learnable and is a positive, just not the most important design consideration.

We are still waiting to find out if Ixtal is a real place or if Milio is a paid actor.

Is this "Ixtal" in the room with us now?

Even before it was available to general public, pro scene used to be played on Hexakill. As spectator didn't exist back then, the casters would load in as the sixth champion on both teams to observe the game. They would normally remain in fountains except for that one time when a caster (Phreak I think) accidently moved his Teemo into lane.

Very first version the spectator champs they were using as a workaround for broadcast were targetable, from memory one got killed by a Karthus ult giving extra gold to one of the teams even. Version after that had them untargetable and invulnerable. Then we got the actual proper spectator system in.

I mean some will and some won't. I still believe that new games modes are a very important part of gameplays strategy going forward, so given that I still want to make sure the modes team is healthy and can keep making exciting things for players. That does mean that other teams might need to be a bit smaller then they have been historically so that modes can continue to make awesome things for players.

Thank you for the update, we really apreciate it ♥ but I still have some questions:

About BE Emporium:
• Chromas will coust 2k as usual? Or will they come for 1K as a "comeback celebration" way?
• Will it come as before? Like, will only chromas come for skins released in a specific semester? Or will they start to come all already released?
• Can we know whice skins will have their chromas in this Emporium? So we can organize which ones we will get.

About Briar:
• Can we receive a new teaser at least? since we will meet her before the next Dev Update it would be really nice to see something more about her .-. Could be a part of her splashart as it was with Seraphine and Mundo, or a silhuette model, or more infos how she will look like.

Sugestion for next Dev Updates:
• It would be really nice if each Dev Update come with some visual teaser for something, like a Splashart (like...

For your final point: would love to include more visual teasers, but because the turnaround time for these videos is roughly 7-10 days (including weekends) from filming to publishing (including a few days for localization, which requires the video to be LOCKED), and we don't 100% have talking points locked until we actually film, it's hard to get visuals since we don't necessarily have topics locked.

We want the artists to focus on getting content into game, and while we'd love some teasers and stuff, sometimes we just don't have anything ready.

That said, we'll try to find places to add more art if we have good opportunities to do so!

Hi reav! last time i had asked you about whether we could still expect the ionian midlaner this year in which you’ve told us that everything is still on track as of that moment. Is that still the case right now or is he possibly being moved to next year instead?

It still is on track, yes

u/RiotMeddler has nothing to do with today's dev, but could you talk about Brand's VFX update that was "leaked" in Millio's intro video and Nafiri's leaked gameplay video? It's been a while since Millio left and until today nothing has come out about a possible update to Brand's abilities...

A Brand VFX update did get started by a VFX artist as a side project a while back. It's not currently on hold, given said artist had to swap all their time to some other higher priority stuff. I expect we'll get it finished and shipped at some point, but whether that's soon or a really long way out no idea at present, depends on other VFX projects.

That sucks, she won’t be available for worlds. Is Naafiri available? I believe some region playoffs are playing on her release patch but she’s disabled.

Naafiri will be available for Worlds

She'll be out before Worlds yeah. I don't believe she'll be playable at Worlds however since she'll be a very recent release (possible I'm wrong on that and she'll be disabled for playoffs but available at Worlds, will check)

Yeah, Naafiri will be playable at Worlds, Briar will not be

Can we get any Insight on when exactly the next Dev Update is going to be released?

We don't know exact dates yet. 4-6 weeks is our general target. We'll go more like 4 weeks if there's a lot of stuff we've identified we can/should talk about, more like 6 if we've got less for this particular round but want to stay in the habit and cover some stuff. Going to start looking at potential topics next week, I suspect we'll have a fair bit this time so might be closer to 4 than 6, can't make any promises yet though

Oh sorry, when I say "League" here I'm just shorthanding "League of Legends the PC game", not implying that he's on something unrelated to the League IP

I think it's a genuine question because riot did mention that they may consider going back on the mythic system

We'll share updated thoughts on Mythics in terms of what we've learned, future plans etc whenever we talk preseason gameplay in detail (plausibly this next update, depending on how many other topics we have possible that ends up in a deep dive slightly later)

Huh, that's pretty neat.

Makes me wonder what the meta would have solidified as with an extra player, given how experimental season 1 was.

Yeah, hard to say given how much has evolved over time. Looking at current state of things, I'd imagine a 6th player would mean a lot of additional roaming support style play from said position, probably with some jungle camps being taken as well? Guess could also be a second duo lane with some degree of roaming, but I suspect two champs generally out of FoW + more ability to contest jungle camps including on invades probably trumps presence in lane
