Glad to hear it. The latest patch notes were a step in the right direction, but I hope they keep improving their communication and we start getting new roadmaps before the current one expires. Kind of ridiculous how much time we spend in limbo not knowing information for what's coming - dates for new sets, worlds prizes, seasonal dates, etc.
They're working on improving I believe, but there's still plenty of room for more improvement.
Just speaking in my own experience as both a player and a dev at various studios, roadmaps are tricky because the moment you say "we currently plan to do X, based on what we know right now" then it often makes it very hard to make changes based on player feedback or learning new information; as some folks think this means the studio was "lying" or is now "breaking a promise".
It's difficult to find the right balance between stating the current plans for the future and being willing to change those plans based on player feedback, new information, or new cool ideas popping up that didn't exist before.
It's much easier to make a roadmap when working at a studio that doesn't care as much about listening to players. :)
After the collective sigh of relief from Path of Champions players, I think its safe to say you're welcome to take as much time as you want.
Thanks. I have to say, it is nice to know a fun surprise is coming. I managed not to hint at it too much, just saying that I looked forward to proving to folks that path wasn't abandoned. :)

is it fair to say that the fiddlesticks fervor has reached riot at this point? it seems like every other reveal people are begging for fiddlesticks
I've definitely seen a lot of fiddlesticks requests. Just a general note; card sets are also the longest in development, starting over a year out in some cases, so while live balancing and feature updates can move faster sometimes; requests for specific champions and cards are both always going to take longer and also have to navigate other stuff; like making sure they play well with a set's other themes and mechanics, etc.
FIDDLESTICKS WITHIN THE YEAR :copium:
Lol. As always I can’t confirm or deny anything unannounced, even if it’s happening tomorrow or I know isn’t happening anywhere in the pipeline. Like with how tempting it was to tell path of champs players wild shards were a few days away when they were about to release, but I had to wait. :)
Hi, I'm sorry I hope you don't mind me asking, but are we getting any new features soon? We get expansions and lab updates but is there anything new planned? Like in game tournaments or new draft mode or anything?
I don't mind you asking as long as you don't mind me not answering. Can't ever talk about unannounced stuff, whether it exists or not. It'd be as weird for me to announce something myself without coordinating with our folks that work on that as it would for someone in marketing to go change a card's mana cost and ship it to live.
