Teamfight Tactics Dev Tracker

So in set 3 we very briefly had models on the unit cards in the shop, which were ugly but visually more clear. Since then we’ve had splash arts for cards and personally i havent had much trouble with them until this set. I’ve been having a hard time quickly recognizing certain units, especially ones utilizing newer skins or ones that look same-y on the card (like mordekaiser and ivern being two close ups of masks).

So my question is, whats the process that goes into trying to make units recognizable as the character themselves while still making them fit the theme of their tribe. Have there been any clarity issues that have arisen and how do you hope to handle them? Were there any big problems in developments in terms of art or visual design that had to be overcome for this set.

Also, second question for Mr. Mortimer Dog, who on the tft team do you blame when you get, as the saying goes, “mortdogged”? Maybe statikk or kent? Your evil twin Dort Mog?

Hey guys.. First of all thanks soooo much for creating, maintaining and improving this wonderful game so far.
I got 3 questions:

1- I love the work you guys put in the little legends and overall game visuals.. but still
Are you guys (or riot) open to design popular characters as little legends, arenas and booms?.. Personally i would love the possibility to have Sans from Undertale as a little little legends and blasting others with Gaster blasters.

2- It would be great if there is a portal or a tab in the league client (and maybe the mobile version as well) that contains all the info about tournaments, B-Patches and other fun/competitive information that's not easily available.

3- I'm just curious about your ideas/visions on how this game can even grow more in popularity and numbers.

Thanks so much for the AMA guys and for making my favorite game.

Hey team, thank you for your continued amazing work on TFT and thank you in advance for taking my questions. Two questions--

1) One of my favorite ideas ever to have been in TFT was the Mountain Hex from Rise of the Elements. Building an unkillable uber-tank Braum or Dr. Mundo over the course of a game was truly a delight in every sense of the word and extremely gratifying. A similar concept was revisited in Warlords last set, but those were capped after a certain number of wins. Any plans to revisit this idea units scaling infinitely over the course of an entire game? What do you guys think of the concept ?

2) Ever since the introduction of overtime, traits that have healing or regeneration as their core mechanic has suffered an indirect nerf. It seems unfair that other traits maintain or even amplify their core mechanics in OT while healers/lifestealers suffer because of the OT reduction. Any thoughts on how to balance this in the future? Perhaps only grant hea...

Are there currently any plans for making some shadow items easier to see on the carousel? It’s a bit hard to tell on mobile if sojin or gunblade are normal items or not in particular.

I just tweet this out to Mort before I realized there was an AMA.

I saw an interaction where Shadow Warmogs damages triggers stacks for a normal Titans. Is this an intentional design?

Who's going to win the Riot Race to Challenger? My vote is on Kent (sorry Mort).

u/Leelor, can you talk a bit about the process of creating the introductory tool tips and mobile onboarding in general?

Getting people into a new game can always be a tough challenge, and there’s lots of strategies people take. Were you able to base yours on initial user testing, or did you have to wing it and guess what people might need the most help to grasp? / how did deciding to include the team builder feature play into this?

How does the team plan to keep developing TFT from the assets of League? Coloring units and reusing skins for different sets has been really creative but I'm wondering if running out of ideas is a concern for the future?

The shadow qss and the shadow zephyr seems like unstoppable object meets immovable rock. How did the team decide which works against which?

Quick and simple, if im in the last place, why do i have to fight with the one who is in the first place (sometimes with streak)?
is "kinda" unfair and sometimes estressfull

Thank you for doing the ama.

I have friends ask me all the time why in the TFT tab in the client, there is only data about the pass and no data about the actual game.

Are there any plans in the future to add in more data about TFT in the client?

Kinda like how for League you can look at all the items, patch notes, and champion details. It'd be really cool if the TFT tab had more sections to it like all the other tabs in the client.

Will u plan to add chromas for victorious little legends for each tier? so far its pretty unsatisfing to get in masters+ the same reward as someone who played just 5-10games to get gold.

Its not that i just play for reward or so but it kinda feels meh at the end of the season..

And the emotes are also kinda meh, when u just can equip 4 at a time

if there would be some higher chromas for victorious skins i probably would use them instead of my beloved spacemolediver :D

This is not a question, so feel free to skip it if comments aren't allowed. (I kept it brief, I swear!)

I just wanted to express a little gratitude and say thank you for the hard work and effort all of you invest into this game. I also would like to commend you, as a team, for the dedication and time you devote to the players and to your involvement with the gaming community. I've been a gamer for quite some time, across many genres and platforms, and in the past it has been all-to-rare to experience the level of transparency that I've witnessed with TFT.

You are all crucial to the overall success, but I think Riot_Mort deserves an extra amount of recognition for making himself even more available, often donating his personal time to provide information and answers to players. (P.S. I apologize once again for the Discord pings...😉)

So, thank you all, and I hope to see you in a game lobby sometime!

What is the best tft-related twitter post of all time?

Originally posted by CptNova

Hi everyone at Riot, I love the game, and played from set 1, played LoL before that since season 2 or something.

First question: Do you consider ever doing a "cooperative" mode, something like the Dota Underlords one ? Like a 2v2v2v2v2v2v2v2 ?

Second question: how did the covid impact your production process ? Are you working remotely? Do you consider foreign developers now that remote working is more widespread ?

Last question: do you recruit game developers ?

Keep up the good work and see you on TFT or LoL, or runeterra !
