What would happen if the winner already has all of the ultimate skins, out of curiosity? Would they just turn into skin shards, or an equivalent RP amount?

I believe in the past we have reverted to skin shards.

I am a little late in this topic here, but have you considered to lower or eliminate the anti-healing aura ?

  • Grievous wounds will be really cheap and tailored to every class
  • Some people like the healing aspect of enchanters and they would feel better rewarded and not guilty for not building Full AP
  • Some could say that a team without a healer would be at disadvantage, but in fact any poking champ can buil Moonstone Renewer and provide healing, if he decides so, just like some non tanks champs decides to build life and resistances for the benefit of the team

I am sure you can test it, and if the healing is way too much and makes games really long, like Warmog's Armor did before with tanks, then you may adjust it, but i feel some people would like the feel to build support, without loosing soo much.

We won't do it pre-emptively. If it seems like healing champs are weak after preseason ships, we'll look to adjust appropriately.

An upset is never late, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to.

This was certainly a moment.

As always, please find it in your hearts to deliver compliments without delivering insults to other people in the same breath.

They were only giving 15 of them even if thousands got it correct so pretty sure they dont care and its alienware giving the laptops anyways

Hijacking this for one clarification - the Ultimate Skin Bundle will be given to ALL of the perfect picks. The 15 limit is only for the other prizes.

Before I would say Evolved needs another split in Academy.

But now I realize that the only way for him to get better is to play in LCS. Hoping he finally gets that chance.

They're gonna promote Evolved into TSM and put Sword in Academy.

I thought me saying this would be a spicy take, but turns out I and the rest of Reddit are just geniuses.

Evolved certainly is not ready yet, but he's so close that I don't think it would hurt his trajectory that much.

Did anyone notice that they only showed the first Jhin shot from Huanfeng that he misses with Azael shouting loudly "He dont miss" in the background LOL.

They actually cut that from a different spot & edited together!

Hello!

Starting in patch 10.23, Metal will be available for beta testing for Macs on PBE. Players can switch to Metal by doing the following:

  1. Right click the PBE application icon and select "Show Package Contents"
  2. Navigate to "LoL/Config/game.cfg" and open the file with a text editor
  3. Add "MetalBetaTest=true" to the list of configs under [General]
  4. Save

If your hardware is compatible, the following line will be found in your game logs, otherwise it will fall back to OpenGL automatically on game client launch.

Using X3D Platform: Metal

We hope to make this transition as smooth as possible for everyone so if you find any graphical or performance issues exclusive to Metal, please report them in this thread along with your game logs and any relevant media.

Happy Testing! 😊

TSM probably saw the damage to their brand that not making worlds can bring. And there's a really short list of teams that Licorice would want to go to.

Ironically I think NA has been too liberal with roster moves. It's not on the top 3 teams to make big changes every year. Iterate instead of blowing everything up every year.

It's the rest of the league that needs to stop recycling third tier talent and take some risks.

TSM have certainly made a slew of changes in the last few years, but that feels more like were trying to build the right set of pieces rather than just rashly moving people around post-Zven + Mithy era.

TL changed very little apart from continuing to upgrade and won four splits until Broxah entered and Doublelift left.

And C9 have been constantly praised as continuing to cultivate and build talent and make changes pretty slowly while continuing to put up consistent results.

So idk if I agree that Top 3 NA is too liberal with roster moves, but you do make a good point I think: that there has been a LOT of change in the past year and there's already a lot more with Reapared and Licorice leaving C9 already. Although they kept their core together for so long I'm not sure it's fair to say that C9 haven't tried enough with the pieces they had.

TL;DR Not as much change in the Top 3 as you think, but recently (aka this year) a surprising amount.

On noticing that this post mentioned surveys, I feel the need to share my experience with a recent survey I got in client. That survey did focus a lot on content as well.

The problem I had with the survey is that it would give you four options, and ask you to rate one as the most frustrating and one as the least frustrating. You did not have the option to not answer with a particular grouping if you wanted to complete the survey. I felt like this led to a distortion of answers, where I would have to identify something as most frustrating, even if none of the options frustrated me.

Appreciate the feedback. Those surveys can feel a bit weird to fill out. They are a really effective method of generating a ranked list of things like favourite champions, points of frustation, motivations to play etc. A single person's responses can be misleading, aggregating thousands together however produces a really useful result though.

Why does a mind control feel worse than an Urgot or Lee Sin instakill?

Instakill - your unit is gone Mind Control - your unit is gone from your team and helping kill the rest of their team

Details matter a lot of course, so it's not really that simple, that was what the experience felt like playtesting it though

u/RiotMeddler What are your thoughts on Shyvana? She was a prospect on the VGU table and has such great potential with her amazing lore and theme, but it is blatantly obvious that her current kit does not satisfy her fantasy. She has been stuck for a significant time in a state that has divided her playerbase between two styles and I am afraid that Riot will solidify her into the new playstyle that only exists because her original bruiser/Juggernaut playstyle is worthless currently. Is she being looked into or will she be another Taliyah, Karma, Sona, Quinn, Skarner etc?

I think Shyvana does need a VGU. Only question for me is how to prioritize her versus other highly in need champs like Udyr for example. I wouldn't consider a VGU that didn't strongly support a fighter playstyle as appropriate given her history and fantasy.

I think most ppl would agree with me that the mastery system could be expanded more.

When was the last time lvl 7 was introduced? I feel like we could have atleast lvl 8 by now, working on it could be a good alternative for the ppl that dont enjoy eternals (im in that club, i like champ masteries but dont like eternals and wish for more content for the first one).

Agreed. Can't make any promises on timeline, but at some point I'd like to expand Champ Mastery a bit more as a system.

Is KDA Seraphine and future similar quest lines the solution you guys are experimenting with now?

No, we think of Quest Skins as a separate thing, given they're paid content and bound to a particular champion. I'd like to do some overall work on our progression systems in general (rank, level, champ mastery, honour etc).

/u/RiotMeddler with grevious wounds being made a lot stronger and easier to get, how are you planning to work with dedicated healers like soraka.

Soraka already creates problems with how strong exe calling rush is vs her (if people don't buy it she is overpowered, if they do she is useless).

I assume letting soraka just hit 40% win rate from grevious wounds being everywhere isn't an option, so won't massive buffs to grevious wounds just make that even more of a problem case without larger mechanic changes like grevious wounds only applying to self healing again.

Soraka falls into the category of champ we'll react to once we see exactly how she's affected. That might mean tuning GW availability if issues with her balance also affect other healing heavy champs. Could also just mean putting power into her, whether in healing or other aspects, to recognize the new normal. Also possible she's not that dramatically affected, we'll have to see (I think this outcome's less likely, but there are a lot of other things changing for her besides just GW).
