Well, I guess you'll know what you're doing. And they way you put it now, I'm a little more optimistic again.

But I think you gotta understand why the wording that you chose to go with made me (and probably others as well) very skeptical. It sounded like you mainly care about making the client faster and not about fixing bugs.

Thanks for going a little more in-depth, I hope you'll be succesful!

We've earned your skepticism, no doubt about that. Hopefully in the coming months we'll re-earn your trust.

me: hey skins team, what're you doing

skins team: oh nothing, just generating revenue for this company, which covers your paycheck and the paychecks of everyone else here including the client team devs

me: oh tight, wanna stop that and learn how to fix plugins and ember apps?

skins team: f*ck off

LOL, maybe we should, really lean into the "small indie company" meme

You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

But this sounds just like what I was worrying about.
I'm pretty sure that 'opportunistically tackling' bugs is just not gonna do it with the sheer amount of bugs that already exist and the new ones that pop up every once in a while.

I appreciate you taking the time to answer me, but I feel like you missed my point.

I'll put it more directly: we're going to be reworking plugins and ember apps. These same plugins and ember apps are at the very root of the bugs you're talking about. Therefore, when we rework them, we'll be making sure we're addressing any and all related bugs.

For bugs that aren't necessarily related to plugins or ember apps, we'll be going after them too, "opportunistically."

Aaaaaaaand did you tell us about the "no content for clubs" change?

In the process of improving these metrics, we'll also be tackling things like bugs, crashes, etc.

This is very worrying.
They talk like making the client faster is their main goal, as if that was the problem.

The problem with the client is not that it's too slow (okay, sometimes it is), but that it has more bugs than the amazon rainforest.

Be sure to check out the whole post! We know speed isn't the only problem. In the process of going after specific speed metrics (which we explain in-depth) we'll be opportunistically tackling bugs too.

yeah. few years ago when ghostcrawler was doing streams on twitch with another rioter (forgot the name) where the community can ask question i asked them if they plan on adding more content to clubs like missions etc. and they said "yeah a lot of content for clubs comming" and nothing was done in like 3+ years so unless it's actually there, i doubt it.

Sometimes plans change—if they do, we'll tell you about it. But if we weren't pretty damn sure about this client stuff this time, we wouldn't be coming out here and showing our sorry faces lol

ikr what a lad

TL;DR: We're trying out something new here, both on the product side and the publishing side.

Product: Reworking big chunks of the client (plugins, ember apps)

Publishing: New transparency on exactly what we're changing + our performance targets

We're showing a bunch of data that reveals just how bad the client can be for some players. That might seem weird, but I'm hoping we'll be able to then follow up with clear, measurable improvements to those same metrics in the months to come. It's gonna take some time, so wish us luck!

It's the last sound clip in this article.

Someone should be able to make it from that!

That makes me wonder how they recorded that. Some guy was just breathing into a microphone and the SFX guy worked their magic?

It's Riot Sound Bear screaming and pigs.

I cover it in the last section of this article.

Yeah, the point I am trying to make is that OP explicitly asked for champions with mid prio early game, which Kassadin does not have.

That doesn't answer his question though, arguably Kassadin and talon as well can roam the most effectively for applying map pressure.

Kassadin has OK map pressure after level 6 and great map pressure around level 11 but this comes at the cost of completely giving up map pressure pre-6. This is really important for the jungle matchup and can snowball into a loss before Kassadin becomes relevant.

Comment

Twisted Fate cannot solo kill early game unless your opponent messes up but he is the premier roaming mid laner at most stages of the game.

Other champions might be stronger than him at certain level breakpoints, but he is one of the best champions to shove the wave and roam due to his W, Q and R.
