I need to pick a LoR follower's art for my author avatar when I eventually post dev blogs. I figured you folks might have suggestions. :)

I tend to prefer whimsical art but I'm open to lots of ideas. What'd be a good choice for a game designer? Or just someone that loves Runeterra?

EDIT - Wow, so many great suggestions! I strongly considered a bunch of them but the Sneaky Zeebles suggestion won out, because when looking up the full art after seeing the suggestion I've learned the Zeebles are SO sneaky that the best Zeeble is playfully hiding below the card frame. How can I resist? He's literally behind the scenes.

The first card you worked on :)

That’s a cool idea but it’s not out yet. We work really far in the future, and I often volunteer for the less fun work anyway. :)

Actually, a funny moment happened a while back - I was talking to a producer about some ideas I had for a card set and they told me they liked my enthusiasm but I should probably stick to what I was hired for. I tried not to laugh as I told them I actually was hired as a gameplay designer. I’d been jungling so much they didn’t realize I wasn’t officially on the systems teams, I was just helping out as needed.

This is supposed to be juggling so much right? There must be a reason those two words are mispelled back to back.

A jungler... that munches... First card design is Nunu!

Fixed!

And we call ‘working on lots of different stuff, whatever is needed’ jungling here :)

What about Sneaky Zeebles? Imo they’re peak whimsy, and their skill art is a good choice too!

I’m a personal big fan of Powder Monkeys so I have to advocate for ma bois.

Assistant Librarian or Squeaker I think fit game designer kind of well and they’re both on the whimsical side of things!

Hope these were some helpful suggestions and am looking forward to those dev blogs! :)

Thanks for the Zeebles suggestion! I chose it. :)

Hello /u/Dan_Felder

I used to play a lot of card games but stopped for a while. Recently, I have been meaning to pick up the genre again and as I already play a crap ton of League, I want to checkout LoR. But, I have seen that the LoR team has lost a lot of its core members and unfortunately, continues to lose resources. Last update I saw is that the team wanted to focus more on the PvP side of things for the game, what advice can you provide when it comes to the long-term sustainability and plans for the game?

Thanks

I understand being nervous about committing to a game if you’re worried about it’s future. I’m not worried myself though. Bringing up path is a good example, there was a lot of speculation in the community that nothing for path would ever release again. Since then we’ve released lots of new champions, new adventures, the weekly adventure system, and the new boss rush adventure just a few days ago.

If you want to wait though, no problem. I’ve got a hunch we’ll be here when you’re ready. :)
