Legends of Runeterra Dev Tracker

I'll be damned!

I believe that the folks are getting a big wave of new golden reliquaries and stardust from free rewards, plus there are some in the paid bundles now too. So we're only now seeing folks who have 100%'d.

The timers were necessary to keep people from 100%ing for free before because the stardust was getting earned so much faster than the refresh timer. Previously folks were estimating around 8+ weeks to earn 3000 stardust but it ended up getting fast enough that people were earning it faster than the offer refreshes.

The free rewards have been about doubled. There's also big one-time rewards on adventures added, plus quests. You can absolutely participate in it.

We're definitely taking a look at this and discussing what changes to make. Some things here are bugs, while others are choices we made that we're certainly receptive to your feedback on, so please keep chiming in.

Yes one path is all you need, so going with the easier one is fine

The intent is that the daily quest rewards are all the same. Please continue to flag if you see quests without Bronze Vaults and we'll fix them!

This is a bug with this particular quest using a different set of rewards than most others, we've got it tracked to fix. You should be able to reroll it tomorrow into one that gives Bronze Vaults again.

Minor fun fact: This is a quest designed by FloppyMudkip, one of the players in the invitational event we held earlier this year.

The emperor wrote this.

So this is definitely an oversight and not what we intended. We are going to change the price point to 475 to match the $4.99 coin package as soon as we can and we will be rolling out a refund to all people who purchased the bundle at the 490 coin point. Hoping this price change will be able to go live today, tomorrow at the latest. The refund would role out a little later this week. We are working on this now.

Edit: to clarify - we will refund the 15 coins overage, not the full amount. We still need your bundle purchasing support 😬

“Available” means you can download the 5.5 update onto your devices. Go to the App Store or the Riot client and you can download the 5.5 patch right now.

“Go live” means the content from that patch will be playable. You can’t do that right now even though the patch is available to update to. You will be able to tomorrow, Wednesday at around 10am.

Technically 4.0

He said on twitter that the update won't have new adventures or modes but they will be working on new adventure content once constellations are out.

Exclusive / original LoR champs - yes, some are already waiting in the wings.

Expansion - as noted before, we don't have any plans for future expansions that look like Dreamlit Paths, but we will be continually releasing new champions and support cards on a regular basis. They will be designed for the Path of Champions, but some may make their way into PvP if we feel it's safe enough. Our current belief is that such cases would be the exception, and not the norm - want to set appropriate expectations.

We have prototypes! But there's a lot of validation that still needs to happen to make us feel confident about it and building the full experience for it.

Hi folks, I’m here to talk about the LoR Button!

I know some people have had questions about why the LoR button now, and I wanted to give a little insight. I can’t speak to why the button wasn’t in Riot client in the early days, but we landed on this day for three reasons:

1. We wanted to do it shortly after the release of Dreamlit Paths since that would give new players an interesting and active PvP experience.
2. The League client had a big emphasis on Mid-Season Invitational (“MSI”) right after our release, so we waited until the League client could give us more of the spotlight.
3. We wanted to time it so that it’s close to our Constellations release, which is coming next week, to give new players an exciting new PvE moment soon after they start the game. 

We’re not blind to the fact that this button is coming later than we or the community would have liked, and that our PvP-focused audience has frustrations or concerns abo...

This made me literally laugh out loud and disturb the train. Nice.

I understand this sentiment, I really do. But from the game development perspective, making a solid champ (or any card) for PvP takes a great deal of effort, and it has to achieve many more things. That’s why a set like Dreamlit Paths took over 12 months to design, with more resources than the current LoR team.

If the cards we make for PvE seem like they will be safe for PvP, we may release them. But the team will be designing them for PvE first and foremost - so if Teemo: Illuminated turns out to be a 3/3 elusive for 1 that gives all bandle city units triple attack, he’s not going into PvP.

We may do card balance adjustments, but not as a regular mechanism of Standard format changes. That will be rotation driven. If we believe that card balance changes are necessary for the health of the format, they would be on the table, but they generally would be reactive to emerging metagame circumstances.

We are going to let the rotation plan happen, which will start in August, and see how things go. We believe that Rotation will be very effective at making Standard fun and interesting every few months. If that doesn’t prove true, and card balance changes (mainly in the form of number changes here and there) seem like they will make a positive impact, then we may use them.

“Plans” is a strong word for new cards in PvP. We will definitely have new cards for PvE, primarily new champs and support packages for those champs.

The reason we are hesitant to commit to those cards also appearing in PvP is balance - they won’t be designed with PvP in mind, an...
