Clash is Coming!

Will there be the same rewards as before? Also, if i recall correctly, I remember Riot saying that clash would be biweekly or monthly or something of this sort, is that planned to happen after the initial day of clash? Thanks!

Haven't made major changes to the rewards this time (except that we added a 3rd/4th and 7th/8th place match, which means everyone plays 3 games, and so there's some new rewards for those ranks). This is also the first time people will really get to use the VP track as intended, so hopefully we can get a better read on how that feels.

We're doing Clash about once a month for now. We want to keep it frequent enough that people aren't starving for it, but infrequent enough that it still feels like a special event.

This is really cool, great work!

I spent 10 minutes in photoshop to add more clarity to Aphelios

We are currently working on adding both the main gun and off-hand gun to Aphelios's UI, we are targeting this change for 10.4 as well as making his ult VFX more readable in-game

I'm not really sure what the logic behind buffing phase rush's duration is. It doesn't make anyone suddenly on board with taking it, and it just makes the main users (champs like ryze/cass/kennen) slightly better when most of them don't need the help atm.

this changelist seems semi scuffed u/moobeat

actual changes to phase rush are :: 3 attacks and spells within 3s >>> 4s Grants 25 - 40% Mspd (increased to 30 - 50% Mspd for Melee) And 75% slow resist for 3s

It is unfortunate that it isn't good on Twitch due to that reason. This is because in theory it should be a really good option. Twitch can stack his passive faster and get a full powered E much faster thanks to Hail of Blades. It also has strong synergy with him when he ults (more than Lethal Tempo or Press the Attack). But as it is right now, it actually has anti synergy with Twitch.

its going to just a normal 8s cd next pbe deploy

The Dive | Patch 10.3 & LCS Week 2 (Season 4, Episode 3)

I was pretty amazed when these jokers were able to book Jatt from JLXP once, but two weeks in a row? WOW!

The problem with issues like Aphelios is that RIOT will not admit to their mistakes.

I think the best example I have is actually from a mobile game developer, Cygames.

Here's what their monthly reports look like for Dragalia lost: https://dragalialost.com/en/news/detail/1047

Most of it is news, but what riot can learn from is way down at the bottom. "regarding the future of dragalia lost"

In this section, they directly address the most common community complaints, just to say "we're aware this is a point of contention" even if they don't know how they plan to fix it yet. Next month, if they still don't have a fix, we will get an update explaining their progress.

This is the issue with Riots communication, they only ever mention complaints after a resolution has been found. For instance Aphelios' lack of clarity is a super commonly discussed frustration. Yet we don't even know if riot is aware.

I think a "Addressing concerns" section at the bottom of the patch notes ...

This is really good feedback. Thanks! I'll forward it to Cactopus and add many UwUs so he reads my message.

Can't speak for other people but I sorta feel that this sentiment is perpetuated by Riot having very heavy interaction when it comes to jovial online presence. Like if there is any big meme or something silly on reddit we'll get the same handful of Rioters chiming in very consistently but as soon as there is an issue in the community we usually get radio silence regardless of thread amount until there is a boiling point in which we get a dev blog which is tonally very different from replies on reddit.

That being said interaction is f**king HARD from a community stand point because we don't allow for employees to defend themselves or their stance. Case and point the 200 years meme where if a Rioter wants to put forward any sort of defensive/antagonistic front they are met with mob mentality immediately which can also culturally instill an idea that it is best to not interact unless it's to agree.

As for good Dev-to-player communication I only really see this in smal...

Here I am asking a question and then disappearing for 7 hours. I was away from my desk most of the day, so sorry for the late response.

As for some context on the first part:

So, we have a rule where if you engage with anyone (Reddit, players in game, Twitter, boards, IRL, media, literally anyone) you should only speak to the things for which you're a subject matter expert. So here, I don't work on Aphelios, gameplay, champions, balance, or even League, so I can't comment on the main part of this post because I know as much as any of you. (Perhaps slightly more because I worked with Aphelios' team on Champ Insights, but that doesn't help here.)

The other part of that, Rioters won't often weigh in because unless we worked on something because we'd never want to say anything that anyone could ever perceive as talking sh*t. I've personally met some incredible people at Riot and I'd never want them to feel like I didn't respect their work or effort. Bec...

Anyway we could get trophies as a wardskins for a more permanent reward? Along with a display case sonewhere on the profile to archive them?

Display case: pretty likely. Ward skins: less likely. As mentioned above, we don't want Trophies to be on the Rift all the time, or they'll be less unique. Making them an always available ward skin would mean that, after a couple years of clash, they'd be fairly common.

There is currently no Honor requirement for Clash.

will the won trophies still get deleted from your profile after every clash? my profile is kinda empty since they deleted it when there wasn't even another clash to get a new one. and even if... having his trophy taken away after a while kinda beats my motivation to try to win another one.

Hey there! The trophies will stay on your profile until the end of the Season (this was actually true of the Beta Trophies as well, it's just that the season ended right after since we ran it during Preseason). The Trophy will only show up in-game for 2 Weeks (cause we want the Trophies in the base to be something special and not something that eventually happens every game)

As for the Trophies you earned during the last Beta test, we're working on a better way to display them. We definitely want those past trophies to be something you can celebrate.

Riot just needs to communicate with the community more. It was cool when they allowed us to vote for the next Illaoi skin. But since then they mentioned they probs won't do that in the future. Skins are skins though. Champions are important to get right, and it doesn't help that Aphelios has multiple abilities. Look it's cool they tried something different. But clearly it wasn't ready yet. Like what's the point of the PBE if most things tend to get through anyway. New champs need to be treated better. At least Riot is now more interested in reworks. Reworked champs tend to turn out better. Expect Ryze. Bad Ryze.

Hey! Hijacking the top comment so I can get responses. I work in comms as a writer, so I'm pretty interested in a lot of the discussion going on here.

I'd love to see some examples of what y'all think are excellent dev-to-player communications from other companies (not just game studios), and other platforms where you think it works well (similar to our version of Nexus, Reddit, social media, boards, dev videos, written content, etc.). I'm not super familiar with some of the games/studios being mentioned, so I don't know where to go and look at the communications they're putting out there.

So if you have any examples throw them at me.

Edit: These examples are great and I'm looking into all of these now. I'll be sharing with the broader editorial and writing teams. :)

Best of 2019 RESULTS

Huge congrats to u/captainflowers22, and well-deserved. He's repeatedly shown that he knows how to win the respect of the community. And he's damn good at his day job too!

It's a darn shame.

I just want to say Atlus that I've only watched 5 minutes but the random edits made me LOL IRL. Maybe they're not for everyone but I was a big fan. I for one, hope they don't tone it down.

It was a kind of joke. Implying that the Yasuo may yet get his revenge!
