Thanks for the update Dan! Love the communication from the team!
Thoroughly enjoying the new expansion, and excited for all rotation has to bring. Thought I'd chime in with some positivity to show my appreciation for this wonderful game and the team that built it 😁
Glad to hear it. I'm glad folks are passionate about the game and I'm glad people care as much as they do. I want to keep pushing for experiments and being willing to try stuff out, get community feedback, and iterate.
Quite a few champions have two skins. Some even have 3
Kai'sa's costs 0.
To be fair, Kai'sa has a second skin.
Yeah, it's something we're going to change. We wanted to get standard-legal starting decks in right away but there were last-minute complications that we didn't expect. It turns out that anything tied to the tutorials and new player experience isn't easy to change quickly, it has a lot of moving parts. For example, different folks currently handle the event passes and similar than handle the gameplay events and other people handle major new features.
Most stuff we make only falls within one group's area of expertise - but for the new player experience mixing with rotation all three are incredibly deeply connected. The reward track for new players (the prologue road) that unlocks new decks is something that the folks that handle event passes and quests need to manage, and it turned out that the prologue road is not easy to change or get new art assets for. Gameplay of course needs to build the decks accounting for rotation. Features handles the other aspects...
Read moreIs it supposed to be unlocked right now? When I click "Beta monthly challenge" every encounter appears locked, and says I need to be Legend 15. I'm Legend 30.
It’s supposed to be unlocked right now. In you’re on EU there have been some launch issues. Either way good to file a bug.

Yeah, I am doomposting. I respect that rotation is necessary for any card game, but I don't like that a lot of the champs I love will be headed to what I believe will be an unbalanced mess as many "Wild" formats become. A lot of what made this game special for me is the connection to the champions. Decks are about them. Entire lore is constructed in this game around them. And now they're going to a place that feels like it just won't matter. It also disincentivizes me from buying cosmetics: I don't want to buy a skin for a champ who I can only play in a format that matters once every few months. And since it's not clear who will be rotating or if they'll ever come back, the only safe move for me is to not buy cosmetics for anyone. Can't get burned like I did buying my Santa Braum skin.
I understand the team isn't letting the game fade away completely, but for me, a player who rea...
Thanks for listening, I do appreciate your willingness to engage with folks, even when they're unproductively doommeming.
I'm glad to hear it.
I think it's fair feedback to say, "why would the team say they're refocusing on PVP, incite panic about the future of Path, then continue to regularly update Path?" I'm not upset about Path being updated. But I also don't see the point of that "Refocusing" post at all now, ~six months later.
This I gotta disagree with. The vast majority of team resources are focused on PvP. Like 90% or more. It's not our fault that we've done a lot of cool stuff with the last 10%. :)
For what its worth despite the grumbling on the sub currently a lot of us are looking forward to rotation and are optimistic for what it can bring to the game. just hard to get a word in edgeways at the moment because... well... Reddit gunna Reddit.
Kinda wish wed had more notice on the official list but i trust you guys had good reasons to pick the cards you did
(However damn you and your team for taking Zilean AND Shelfolk away from me)
I appreciate it, thanks. :)
I'm just listing things that have happened since that announcement, and Path is getting more updates than anyone expected right after they made it
Heh, yeah. People were shouting Path was a dead mode too last year. Those people have gotten way quieter these days.
It's a bit weird weird you included path updates and rotation as part of the doomposting though. It would have been way easier for us to not do path updates and not build rotation if we just planned to let the game fade away. Rotation, Monthly Challenge, Competitive Revamp, these are things that only make sense to do if you want to support the game over the long term.
After all, rotation is controversial with players and a lot of up-front work to set up - it's worth it only because it's good for the game in the long term as the total cards in game continues to expand, if we just wanted to ride off into the sunset it would have been way easier to... Not do that.
When Path players were doomposting about path, I said at the time "I look forward to proving you wrong", and meant it. Looking forward to proving you wrong too. Your ac...
Read moreWait...is this the first time they released the ranked icon reward beforehand? They usually do it just before ranked reset.
Stepping in here!
We made a small mistake in the Patch Notes and are updating it. The "Letter" themed Icons were actually the rewards for Beta Season. The World Ender icon's are not being distributed again.
We do still intend to release the Glory in Navori ranked icons before the end of the season--- but we will do it in the next patch notes (Along with Live Balance changes)!
Apologies for the confusion.
