i got you, call it sweater squad and make it at Christmas time for like a ugly sweater party. boom entire skinline idea
Only if we can release it with an album of champs singing holiday songs.
"(Santa) Baron Baby" performed by Rek'Sai
"All I Want For Christmas Is A Gank" performed by The Top Lane Trio
"I Caught Lux Support Stealing All My Kills" performed by Your ADC
And, my personal favorite, "Silent Night" sang by Sona and Aphelios
im pretty sure he's talking about how Lillia feels like she was a throwaway champion release.
She's been out for, what, 2-3 days? And literally all anyone can talk about is Yone. There's no threads talking about Lillia, no discussion on what she should build, what comps use her, how she'll be in pro-play. Even this entire event, which is her release skin, is all about Yone now.
Ah. Yes. I understand that sentiment entirely. I worked with the Lillia team on her Champion Insights as well. As a jungler (and not a solo laner) I feel that a lot. I think that with the release of Kin of the Stained Blade and a champion who pre-existed in our lore it's easy for someone like Lillia to get swept up in all of this.
/u/Interlocutioner and I have talked a few times about it, but we think the silver lining is similar to something we saw on /r/LilliaMains recently. That Lillia would be happy not to have all the attention. She's a shy fawn, after all. She wants to blend into the background.

So my own two cents on this: as many mentioned yes we're salaried, and these updates aren't done outside of work hours and it's never expected of us to do so (like, I'm actually often told NOT to do that), it's more like in-between projects or during lunch. Basically whenever we have a bit of free time and wanna work on them, which is why these can take a long time to make. It's completely opt-in, nothing's required of us for these updates. We do them only cause we care and want to improve the game in our own way where possible.
EDIT: wording, my english's dying
Hey u/RiotSirhaian congrats you got it in there! I’m glad, hope this clears up gut reactions in the future again I love the new effects been playing both champs way more!
Communication has been a bit harder since the boards got removed, but I hope this helps clarify our goals and how we work for these updates. And now I can always point to one article in case there are some misunderstandings again!
They put so much passion into him.
kinda sad cause Lillia will end up like taliyah for such a reason as well. Regardless of how good she is she will be overshadowed.
What do you mean, exactly?
You know you want to give us a skin line of your favourite champs in cashmere sweaters. You can disguise it as a Esports line and pretend they are in sneaky cosplay

Hi. Was the whole theme focused to somehow match Yasuo's kit or to have good synergy with him? Will Yasuo have special interactions or will Yone just have his own monologue when encountering Yasuo? Please, if you arent project lead or just arent in position to answer, may I get contact where I could get this questions answered? Thanks.
Yasuo will get updated VO lines. He was designed to be good both as and against Yasuo
Can his E go over walls?
yes
It was for Senna, but I am unsure about Kai'Sa (I wasn't at Riot then). EndlessPillows mentioned that he loves designing champions that are already someone, and using their story as a huge influence. The Yone team is incredible. They put so much passion into him. It was so clearly palpable from the way they talked about him.
ya'all are designing a competitive game, not a singleplayer game. Ya'all are designing shit champions for a game that's based on ranked games. f**king toxic champions that are cancer and super unfun to play against. great idea
Read moreI have been patient, and pretty much every single champion I enjoy playing either goes literal years without sign of a skin, or the ones we do get have, frankly, been incredibly lackluster. And because skins like Mecha Aurelion Sol were just such a throwaway, your statement makes me think he's just going to be pushed further and further back for getting skins, til the token 3 year mark so we don't "complain".
I'm sorry, but things like the Sugar Rush skins were horrible, and I feel bad for the Zilean players. That was his chance for a new skin, and it came out when we're also having a time-based event, and it's going to be the only thing he gets for another long while. Dunkmaster Ivern was horrible. It needs to be said, the skin team has this amazing capability to knock concepts out of the park. Spirit Blossom Kindred looks beautiful. This entire event is chalk full of beautiful skins. But then the champions that I, unfortunately, enjoy get a throwaway generic Mech...
That sucks, I'm really sorry to hear that.
Some explanation for skins. While we do have a lot of different skin thematics, some are new (Battle Academy, True Damage, Spirit Blossom) as we expand, and those usually contain champions that are liked by a lot of players. It is the safest way to introduce a new thematic to players without risking that there will be no engagement because majority of players simply don't have previous experience with the champions (Ivern, Reksai, A Sol, Azir, etc).
That's why we give our less played champions more established universes and populate them with new skins for them. They may not be as exciting as the new thematics because there are less marketing and hype around them, but I assure you, they're receiving just as much attention and care from modelers, artists, sound designers. We play these champs and are passionate about their existence in League too.
A Sol is in good hands.
I hope you'll trust us in that we'll b...

He can end the timer early, but there is a timer that forces him back to his body.
When playing him this just looks like reactivating his ability to end it.

If you're able to, would you be able to expand on the DNA/jam approach to champ design? From what you said it sounds like designers, artists, and writers come together to brainstorm some stuff and some of it makes it off the cutting room floor. That kind of design process is really neat/appealing to me, I'd love to learn more.
Each champion pod starts with three members (plus the producer): a Gameplay designer, a Narrative writer, and a concept Artist. Early meetings explore who the champion could be, and those early conversations result in really quick iteration on ideas and explorations of possibilities.
An artist will do concept sketches, the writer creates microfiction story sketches, and the gameplay designer will test out variations on initial kit explorations. We really start to figure out what the core voice, themes, and feel of the champion will be!
I could go on much longer about the process, but for now I'll say as the champ continues to develop, more folks are brought onboard the champion pod, from sound designers to engineers to tech artists to animators to so many more disciplines. It's really an incredible process.
which eminem diss track would you say best describes yone?
yes
Shots fired /u/WriterRiotPls
...why you gotta call me out like this
This is incredible.
that honestly sounds super f**ked, man. "buy this skin, to encourage us to make more"
We don't have any guarantee that it won't be another 1500 for a Kindred skin. Hell, Ornn is STILL waiting for his first new skin. Azir, a very popular champion in the pro scene, is at almost 1300 days.
That's not what I said. I hope you understand that we skins team are trying to give skins to every champion, and on top of that, the ones that perform exceptionally well (Yasuo, Lux, Ahri, etc) are more likely to be considered for more frequent skins because of high demand. Doesn't mean that we're leaving everyone else behind. If Kindred's skin performs well from Spirit Blossom, it tells us two things: First, the lore-based event was a success and that we should do more of these, and second, Kindred does have a high demand for skins and that we should come back for more skins for her.
Many champions that people are talking about that haven't received their skins in a while - they're all in development as we speak. Please be patient.
Hi ender
hi Xido_

Please stop doing CGI "anime", it's disgusting to look at. I get that it's easier and budget friendly but it's unwatchable.
