In some gaming cultures it's considered polite to not waste the victor's time, espescially if you grew up playing Starcraft where decisive victories come a lot earlier than literal in-game victories. Go is another example (the boardgame).

Every Rioter (at least as far as I'm aware) can take something called "Red Name" training which clears you to chat on social media with players as a Rioter and lets you have a fancy Riot in-game username.

Wow I can’t believe Dan Felder designed, coded, voice acted, wrote for, created art for, animated, QA and bug tested the entirety of LoR all on his own, and in a single day no less

In the context of this post this is funny, but please folks - don't start making this joke elsewhere. Other team members might be hurt.

Hey Dan, I want you to know that above all we might moan and complain about in X Y Z meta, we absolutely love every champion's design in LoR. Every champion is beautifully translated into card-game format and it's super fun trying new mechanics! We also really appreciate the character redesigns, like Cait (who appeared in LoR before her LoL redesign), Vayne, and Udyr to properly fit in their worlds. The lore in LoR is soooo good!

That's awesome, so many people work hard on that across narrative, gameplay design, art, and more. I often go to the artist's channels to get inspired by their visual designs when working on stuff. :)

Reminds me of the infamous article where Warren Spector talked about this very issue of how important the teamwork is and how games aren't solely designed or made based on one person, and the article credits him as Warren Spector, creator of Deus Ex.

Yuuuup.

And I do love the original Deus Ex. :)

I love dragons a lot! They’re my favorite archetype and favorite design!

That's awesome. I often start my friends getting into the game with a dragons deck. It does a great job teaching them about value trading and encouraging aggression. Plus dragons are cool!

It's easy to assume visible people from a team deserve more credit than they do. I've seen a lot of folks thank me directly for stuff that others made. We work far in advance, in fact not one card I've worked on has released yet! I've mostly done boring systems and design process stuff anyway.

Design is extremely collaborative in general, I'm rarely comfortable taking individual credit for something. The best designs often come out of initial ideas by one designer that are tweaked by another and changed significantly after someone else's brilliant playtesting feedback.

In general I try to frame clear design goals, spotlight great ideas from other team members (designers or not) that can hit those goals, and support them however I can.

Since people are curious, I can say I was heavily involved in Path 2.0 system design and have worked on various things you haven't seen yet for cards and features, but I'm actually one of the newest members to the desi...

This is an old post but if you are still active on Reddit I came to ask this! It’s the only thing holding my gf and I from downloading and playing LoR. We want to play while we are working but if things come up we need to be able to pause. Currently the only options are games like chess or Words with Friends. We are both Magic the Gathering fans and they don’t offer this option either!

Hi! Thanks for the message. I’m no longer on the LoR team (moved onto R&D), but I can ask the LoR folks.
