why would they not mention anything about swiftplay matchmaking?
no ways its intended to be this terrible
There were some pretty severe bugs on launch, as of a few hours ago those should be fixed. Doesn't mean everything's perfect for sure, but should be meaningfully better.
eternals still don't level up in swiftplay, but mastery and challenges do. is this intended?
It's not, sorry. We were able to resolve Mastery and Challenges like you noticed, Eternals are still in progress but we didn't forget! Hoping to have that fixed today for the weekend.
This has to be a bug, I recall seeing a rioter stating you can lvl up eternals, mastery etc. on this subreddit
Yeah, we're looking into it now.
Should've just been fixed. If you're still can't see them, can you try relogging and tell me what server you're on?
Clarity: "Am I a joke to you?!"
Clarity's gonna get an update too
Thank you Auberaun :) That was my only issue here tbh. Hope you and the team at riot have a happy holidays.
You too!
These were accidents btw, should be reverted next deploy
They all look dulled down. I assume it's probably the images that they used for the post for some reason being like that, rather than how they will actually end up looking.
Yeah that's correct, they're not actually dulled down side-by-side in game or client.
Please pull the graves nerfs. Not because they arent justified or good for the game, but because i personally want graves to be OP forever.
I respect the honesty
Good catch, she still had her manual overrides from launch, this'll be fixed for 14.24.
i think the logic is any 3 void grubs counts as 1 epic monster
so
enemy team takes 1 void grub, you take 2
enemy team takes a second void grub, you take the remaining 2
→enemy team has 0 epic monsters, you have 1
That's how i understood it
yep
What is merc threads passive?
Basically same thing but magic shield.
Did Endless Elixir still make the cut
It did not
It's a pretty minor detail, but is the new teleport "dash" unstoppable? Or can you run into a random Poppy W or something and get interrupted. It says Unleashed TP is very fast, so maybe it doesn't matter, but I can imagine players having the reaction time to knock people out of it if it's possible, whether that be from Poppy or Alistar or whoever.
It also could spoil some otherwise very good TP flanks if you can just see the person flying past you. I think it's fine to have a travel time, but I'm not sure if they should be visible to enemies while doing it.
It's unstoppable yeah, think like a Hexgate.
is atakhan gonna stay just one season?
Nope, he'll be sticking around
We already have a mode that's "SR but faster", why try this instead of tweaking URF into something you can leave up long-term?
We think the two modes serve pretty different needs. URF loses a lot of the strategy, personal power build-up, and narrative arc that a Summoner's Rift match has because of how accelerated everything is, to the point that a lot of characters have pretty distorted gameplay. Pulling that back to the point that Swiftplay is at really makes it an entirely different mode, which is why we want to keep them distinct.
How will this impact regions that don't have draft? Does this mean ranked is the only alternative if we want to play normal SR?
For the initial test of this we're only going to be launching Swiftplay where Normal Draft already exists, so there'll always be an unranked standard-ruleset SR option available. We'll need to learn more about how y'all enjoy and interact with this queue before making permanent decisions.
So smaller servers don't get to play Summoner's rift unless it's in ranked. Can't see that being a positive change for ranked health in those regions.
Is this in regards to Swiftplay? For the initial trial, we're only launching Swiftplay in regions that already have Normal Draft today to make sure there's always an unranked standard-ruleset SR queue available everywhere.
Yeah, makes sense
Did you nerf the CD? Cause tbh I don’t even mind the shield so much as the CD since with 10 seconds and also some item haste, that’s popping multiple times in a single teamfight. A longer CD though can be popped like a banshees
(Or did you make it specifically CD without taking dmg?)
Numbers you'll see on PBE tomorrow are:
And we'll still be doing balancing for the next month if this doesn't end up being right.
League has needed a mode like this for a loooong time. Only thing I'm wondering is if it's gonna have its own champion balance like ARAM, otherwise it reads like early game champs are at a disadvantage
Yeah we'll be balancing the mode like we do for ARAM & Arena. We're already planning to use some more unique levers like attribute scaling over time, because if Draven is weak since it's harder to snowball and close out from the early game, just giving him +20% damage or something would probably make the experience of laning against him unreasonable.
