Does covering your monitors/FOV with those cloths help with the webcam lightning or is it only for style points?

If it's my photo that you're referencing. It's primarily for the echo in my spare room. The echo is so bad I have to cover the wall and monitors to try reduce the impact on my microphone.

We are halfway through the first day of LEC Remote broadcast and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone at home watching, to everyone that put this together.

I'm sitting at home playing a coordinating role today honestly I'm just blown away at the response from the viewers at home and even more impressed by the production team. We started investigating how to produce the LEC from home, and keep all the major elements of the broadcast so that it was still LEC Quality. At the time of posting we have completed two games and I'm happy with the current state. For the first ever remote broadcast of LEC planned with less than 4 days, relying on our home internet connections and with so many different variables.

It isnt a perfect broadcast, and we are working through audio issues as well as new slew of technical challenges to work through. I'm optimistic that we can increase the quality and address these problems one by one over the coming shows. Please be patient with...

Swain is a 53% winrate midlaner. If you want to say he's not fun in mid that's fine, but saying he's weak just isn't correct. If you play him mid you will win games.

Swain also has one of the highest depths of play in the game (top 10-15 vs. the entire roster). It's comparable to characters like Yasuo, Lee sin, Nami, and Katarina. Depth of play is how much a player will play the same champ over and over again. We believe having high depth of play is a good thing because it means Swain players tend to jump on him and never stop playing him. It means Swain mains play A LOT of Swain.

Before the mini-update his depth of play was average at best and his overall playrate was well below average. As far as I can tell he's been massively improved (going from average to top 10-15) despite being played more often as a support.

Seems like there's a lot of people out there who enjoy current Swain quite a bit.

Hey Scruffy,

I was wondering if anyone at Riot was looking at a big bug on Maokai. I'm not sure of the exact way to trigger it, it's possibly related to using TP, but a lot of times when I return to lane from the base my passive will proc when I am full health. Usually it doesn't matter too much because it seems to mostly happen when no enemy champions are nearby, but I have had a few instances where it negatively affected a trade. I have reported this bug a few times for the past few patches since the Immolate changes have made Maokai feel playable again, but I have seen nothing about it.

I would also ask for a potential minor fix in how the Immolate burst works on a few champs. I have noticed that when Nautilus autos, if the target dies it doesn't trigger the burst, which is helpful when farming. I would also ask that something similar could be done with Maokai's Q. I have had many instances where my Bami's/Sunfire goes on cooldown at a crucial time because I u...

Thanks for these, they both sound like bugs that we should fix.

I️ played clash with my friends in this most recent tournament and had a ton of fun, but we were super bummed out that we need to wait a month for the next clash tournament. Is there any plans for more regular tournaments?

We're starting at a one a month cadence, but if the demand is there we are definitely considering doing them more frequently.

Hey /u/RiotScruffy how effective do you think the solo lane Sickle/Spellthiefs and funnel nerfs have been

Solo lane support items are significantly nerfed as we intended.

Funnel is probably not quite there, but we can continue to ramp up the gold and XP penalties until its balanced.

Hi Mark!! ,some thoughts about Riven? People in RivenMains are not happy with the current state of the champion and with the dd changes even less,losing 30 ad in her core item when all Riven spells scale with ad is bad for her ant the resistances of new dd didn,t help her that much.

Pasting my twitter reply:

Riven seems stable on our end - sitting around 51% wr at high elo. Not op but definitely viable.

I’m guessing her builds are a bit altered after 10.6 so there may be some more adaptations for players to do.

In part i think buffed hydra is helping her RN

Thanks for being patient with us, we are putting on the first ever LEC broadcast from home! It has some issues we need to work through.

Clash Feedback:

  • Make it so we can copy paste summoner names during scouting phase.

  • Leader-boards?

Also, RE: reworked Fiddlesticks. His portrait icon in champ select / mini-map needs a change. Just like Aphelios's, because the one on PBE currently is too bright and zoomed out. Hard to identify s at a glance.

Thanks for the feedback, will pass it on to the fiddle pod.

Also, we're doing a bunch of upgrades for clash over time - scouting phase will get a bunch of tweaks now that we've seen it played a few times.

Good thing you don't need to know how to play them, then. You can't really mess anything up, and you are tanky enough that mistakes rarely matter, and you still have the damage to kill people much more fed than the tank is. Sadly, we are once again getting to a point where tanks just have no skill requirement, deal enough damage where squishy damage dealers are simply a worse option, and their itemization is both too cheap, and vastly overtuned compared to their price, providing both high offensive and defensive power at the same time, without actually paying for it.

We had a few good years, I guess.

I don't know what reality you're living in, but it's certainly not this one

Idk about Akali, but Irelia is still an absolute blast to play.

Say what you want, but nothing is more mindless than sunfire tanks. The definition of zero skill gameplay. At least Wukong is squishy enough to require a shred of thought in his playstyle.

I hope neither ever get to be the optimal way to play the game, and for the same reason.

The vast majority of players have no idea how to play a tank tho

I rarely see karma players go full ape though. Her "planned rework" aimed to make her a more powerful support when she's an already fine support. So they scrapped it.

And then comes the sweet sweet nerf hammer to her Q ap ratio...

Feel like sh*t, just want my damage back

Canada, And I don't know if it's just a blanket "English" ad or an "NA" ad, but the one that shows up in my client just feels super lack-luster compared to this one. Not only is it set 3, but its just sound effects and (admittedly nice) animation. I was actually content with the ad we got, until I saw this one to. which is the funny thing.

I have this one scheduled to run in the US and CA as well. So hopefully you don't feel too cheated :)

The ones with no vocals are intended to be "region agnostic". The localized ones often have very culturally specific humor/references and don't always work well globally, but this one CLEARLY kills it. I expect to set it live in regions that have a reasonable k-pop affinity/awareness.

Honestly, just really stoked that people like this!

Our KR team is definitely on point. They have a couple other local ads that I love, too.

What do you mean by obtain the Mastery Emote Upgrade? It doesn't happen automatically upon reaching 15 milestones? And yes, I have mastery 7, 282k points, both eternal sets unlocked, and 17 milestones and I still don't see it :(

Can you send me a screenshot of your progression page?
