The Clash team will share the date of the next Clash event next week

I'm not certain personally. I do feel jungler impact was too high last season, with levels being too close to solo lanes for a role with such high agency over when fights happened. I share the team's caution about putting too much XP back in at once as a result, though I certainly understand jungler desire for it.

As Scruffy mentioned last week we are looking at jungle XP at the least, with preseason changes not landing as expected there either. I know the specific changes being tested aren't liked by some people, it's something that's already getting worked on though.

Wanted to bring up top since that wasn't something we'd discussed really since preseason by contrast.

Yep, times have changed. Used to be support was the least queued role by a huge margin (around half the selection rate of the next lowest). Still is that low in certain region/MMR cases, generally it's fairly close to other positions now though.

I'll keep putting TFT stuff at the end for those of you who aren't interested in it - once you see it, suggest no longer reading. Others are interested in it though hence its inclusion.

About a year and a half ago I moved to a new role that involved covering design across LoL as a whole. Last year I then took on some additional non design responsibilities as well. That's gradually meant less and less time with the SR team. I still playtest with them sometimes, talk about high level plans etc. I'm much less involved in discussions about champ balance, item adjustments etc though. Since that stuff's a large part of what people want to hear about I figured it would be a good time to get RiotScruffy in to cover more of that half the time.

We had a lot of fun ideating this concept and I'm so happy that the producers and stats goddess Barshnip helped make all the props. I think it might just return to tell a few more stories in this format, assuming you guys had some fun with us on the first attempt :P

Dude come on... ITS DRAGONS... How could you think I DIDNT KNOW?

I do however think you could teach me how to dominate my lane as an ADC using this tactic.

It was easy to follow. I have to admit :P

If you have any other creative ideas for how we can educate Quickshot, let us know.

This was where their base hp5 went down to ~5 and base AD went down by about 4, compensated by larger scaling numbers. Basically just nerfed their laning but buffed their late game dps.

It was in specific response to them lane testing mages and found they consistently lost lane against marksmen.

I maintain the opinion that Riot did too many things at once but the idea was good:

1. The base stat changes / AP ratios to turrets and so on were fine. I think Riot saw from internal playtests that ADCs just had too many base stats and it made early laning impossible against them. I think it was fine to make this change, and TBH, none of this really got unwound, so clearly it ended up fine

2. They reworked crit items to give IE sh*t base stats and made crit into a true damage conversion instead of a big number payoff. I think this was the wrong call and it's what got reverted.

That's basically all that changed. We're finally in a good spot for crit itemization after walking back the majority of those item changes and we're in a world where mages are indeed viable bot lane and actually considered with relative frequency.

I remember a thread with a thousand comments of which 90% had DIG as 9-10th

So Rito is holding me back after all

I remember everyone flaming Dignitas saying they will be 10th and downvoting me for saying they have a chance for the title...

Yeah. I had something similar to this and deleted it because I was frustrated. But this, too.

The question the OP was asking was “how do I report someone in all the ways I can for behaving really, really badly in game?” That’s a perfectly reasonable question, and not “vindictive” at all. She had a really bad experience, she wants to make sure it gets brought to someones’s attention in all the ways it can. Filing a Player Support ticket because someone treated you especially badly is in no way bad for your health. I’m not suggesting she should vindictively hold onto this forever, I am saying that “just move on” is not the right answer to the question she was asking. “File a support ticket” is.

Hey, just wanted to hop in here because some of the comments are pretty upsetting. The best thing you can do here, as someone else said, is to file a ticket through the Support website. There should be a place where you can upload screenshots and reporting at the end of game shouldn’t prevent you from doing so. If you are having trouble doing that, please PM me and I’ll help walk you through it.

My Reddit name is the same as my in game name so I encounter this kind of behavior pretty often (was... not worse, but different, before I also had Riot in my name). You are absolutely within your rights to report this person and also to be upset by this. No one should have to go through this and just resign themselves to it because “that’s how games are,” in League or any other game. This kind of stuff feels awful and “ignore it” and “move on” are not helpful advice here. I hear you.

Kinda late, but we put bugs in the patch notes in a pretty ad-hoc fashion. Like, if we think it's either a big bug that's important to let players know about or if we think it'll make players happy to know it was fixed, we'll let Shio Shoujo know so she can include it. We fix a lot more bugs every patch than make it into the patch notes, which is why things like "When Jhin runs his very suboptimal keystone, he will no longer very occasionally become unable to 4th shot" didn't make the grade for me.

Thanks for everything you do, btw. I always appreciate finding your repro steps when I'm trying to stomp a bug.

This is super awesome to hear, no pun intended!

One of my big goals for this season is identifying where we can do a better job for our audio-only listeners, as... after all, we are a podcast!

This is a great callout, and as we look to having more micro-interviews in this style, we'll be sure to take this into account. Let me know if you have other thoughts on what would make the experience better for you as an audio-only listener!

If you don't mind me asking, how are the new things like breaks coming across from your perspective?

A classic trope, really.
