We’ve got several things in the works, much of which is in active development, while others are still being investigated. We can’t go into too much detail at this time, but we’re working on:

Matchmaking Improvements for Rumbles

Free Build and other new formats

Friend Challenge for existing Rumble formats

Updates to Masters Ranked LP Formula

Adding Tournament Style Open Decklists to Best of 3 Rumbles & Opens

Improving ways to show off your collectible rewards

Experimental mystery event

Grassroots Tournament Program

I personally think the LP bugs, especially in APAC, should be the #1 priority being worked on.

After that, the Rumble matchmaking improvements, friend challenges for Rumble formats, and open decklists for Rumbles are features that should have been considered part of the beta and it baffles me that they launched the beta, much less the official release, without these. They aren't quite required for minimal viable prototype, but they're pretty crucial to having a worthwhile competitive structure in my opinion.

The rest of their list and anything else a distant third for what I want to see.

our small but mighty team

Godspeed, devs

The Runeterra Report reports the prize pool is about half what it was previously.

We think APAC LP is a major issue too.

Jon Moorman had a really long twitter thread detailing why it was so complicated and the issues we've been running into. (He even predicted/called out the potential downfall of our previous fix attempt)

For full transparency, when we authored the competitive 2.0 article we weren't certain if our proposed solutions would make it in time for the patch.

Good news though, is that the team is confident we'll have a new system in place for LP gain in Masters in the upcoming patch coming out in a few weeks. We'll share details in the patch notes!
