I do not want to hear these guys making an announcement ever again. I'm sure they are good devs, but they are awful at speaking and it was obviously read from a poorly written script while on zoom. Hearing them and comparing it to even post brode HS announcements made me cringe. This is HUGE news with tons of amazing content that I am excited for. The video editing was even great, but the speaking delivery was so emotionless that it detracted from what could have been a great announcement.

Thanks for the feedback! Was it this particular video, or all of our videos? We had to make some accommodations filming this one from home as we all are still working out-of-office due to COVID.

Appreciate the positive reply to my criticism. It's this particular one. The previous explanatory woman narrator for the bilgewater release was great for talking through all the mechanics and new champs, which made sense for a lower scale announcement/video.

It really just has to do with how big this announcement is. The content is something the devs have put a lot of time and thought into to create a great and captivating future for the game, and the delivery just wasnt commensurate.

The willingness to reply and ask for feedback is a great approach and very appreciated as an active player.

What about compared to these past performances from Jeff and I? (you don't have to watch them if they're too cringeworthy obv :P)
