I'm curious, what do you guys manage during your release?

Yeah this is the only bug i really face as well. I have a high end system so relaunching the client only takes a few seconds but its super annoying. The Reconnect bug at the end of game seems to be mostly gone now which is nice, I get to the honor screen almost right away.

Is there any data you could use that we could provide? I had it happen so many times in a row today it told me the League service was down despite it being (very clearly) still working for everyone else.

Ahh my bad lol. I got too excited and assumed it indicated something big. Since you’re the most active of them on Reddit I figured you were the most senior/experienced member of the team. But you’re right, speculation is indeed fun. And yes you’re being watched XD, I’ve been way too excited since I saw that tweet. I’m always on the lookout for hints.

Summer Event that was said to be held sometime in July (most likely next patch, as Riot confirmed that it will be coming along with Nexus Blitz).

I think it’s 10.15 not next patch. Nexus blitz will be 10.14 (next patch) but I don’t think the event starts at the same time. The person who releases the patches (/u/porosite) took a break from 10.11 but they said they’d be back on 10.15 (I’m assuming they wanted to give some new guy experience) which means something big was happening on 10.15 and they needed the main person behind the wheels. https://twitter.com/riot_porosite/status/1265685303185960960?s=21

Then a few days ago they freaked out over someone mentioning patch 10.15 instead of 10.14 saying something about the patch being leaked, which I assume is something huge related to the event.

Actually enjoyed them casting. Nice duo.

Kinda ironic how frosk says this is the best rivalry cause FNC and G2 are at the top, but they are both 3-3

Is unso still on the team?

I was casting LoL but way before LEC was a thing, played back than for team ALTERNATE as a Jungler with Forellenlord for 3 Years.

There was nobody with observer experience for league at the time, while casting i had to manually move the camera myself.
Afterwards LCS started to become a thing and they needed someone in Germany since our studio is in Germany. I fit perfectly into that profile therefore they offered me a Job as an Observer, which I took.

Our current core observers were chosen by me. It would take me long to go into detail how i chose them, but some traits that are important are game knowledge, communication, team player, being decisive, working under pressure.

By doing the german cast you mean observing for it or casting it?

Also for the rest part, how did you guys get chosen? Sounds like one guys main job is video editing so that one sounds simple enough, but the rest of the applications im imagining "ok this dude has a degree in history and is diamond 3, should we ask him for an interview?"

One last question, if observing a full time job or a side gig?

It was a risky move, but I pushed to show some of the bugs we've squashed. The way I look at it is this: we want to give transparency on what we're working on and one of those things are bugs. It's less of a trophy and more of a 'hey we fixed these bugs, hold us accountable.' If they aren't fixed, tell us which ones aren't and how they are being reproduced. I think there is some misalignment when we say 'we addressed' an issue because people will assume we fixed that whole area and nothing will break, but that's just not the case. We know there's a lot of work to do, and by communicating this information, we get a lot more feedback about what's working and what isn't. By broadcasting these bug fixes, we get a better idea from you all that we are either on the right track or we missed the mark and need to look more closely at some of the things we thought were fixed.

Lol that cactoboi included a list of bugs that theyve solved this year to show they're actually doing stuff

... And almost none of them are the actual issues players are complaining about

I (Jokingly) like to imagine yall have a gigantic jira board of 500 issues and the devs have it reverse sorted by priority cause theyre scared the tackle the serious issues

I appreciate how hard the team works, just will end with the fact that we measure value in improvement of experience, not hours put in

After this patch i started getting this message when im like 10-15 mins into the client: "Your session has expired. Log in back to continue." and i dont know what to do. I tried everything that riot support told me about reinstalling the game and resetting the modem and router but it keeps happening. Any ideas ?

Good to hear. I've always been very quick to be critical of Riot. However, I will say I've noticed improvement in the Client. A couple patches ago I had to re-login about 5 times a day after games, that problem has vanished.

Help me out with something.

So in some previous announcement, I remember them naming "reducing client boot time" as one of their main goals for the year / season in terms of fixing the client, and if I recall correctly, they kind of got flamed for it, as it seemed an arbitrary metric and unrelated to all the experience-breaking issues people encounter with the client.

Was that just bad messaging?

From reading this, it seems like their goal is to tighten up the client overall by consolidating apps, and making the code more efficient and easier to work on (which will presumably make resolving all the experience-breaking issues easier), and just as a byproduct of that focus, boot times are going down. Which now seems like a neat way to illustrate that their behind the scenes work is making headway. Whereas the way they framed their intentions in the original announcement, as I recall, lent itself to a very who t...

The client got much better for me on the last patch. Getting to the honor screen still gives me the typical bug but it's much shorter now.

My biggest problem that still exist is relogging into my 2nd account and being in "offline mode" aka can't see friends and they can't see me. But that is probably a low priority bug.

Seems like patching a hole for then two more to appear. The fact that you said most of them don’t reproduce is not very reassuring either.
