The escalated content creator report path is a part of the trial that is just pretty clearly successful and we're trying to work on how to expand. The more general moderation had more mediocre outcomes, causes of which are likely fixable, might just take more time in the kitchen.

Yes we are considering those.

The system is entirely retuned so the old values don't actually have any relation to the new ones, it was mostly convenient to keep the concept of split points and the associated systems to build improvements on top of. I'm looking at the screenshot on my phone so can't see too clearly but it looks like it might just be a placeholder icon? I know there aren't any borders on the rewards track at least.

Not a lot I can specifically talk about yet. The team is working on a lot of rune recommender & champ select followup/polish work now that the season is basically launched while we plan some of this year's bigger bets. For high elo moderation, we ran that for ~ a month (Nov-Dec) and have data, now that we're back from break we'll figure out how we'd like to proceed but the reviews themselves are paused right now.

SP values have been changed, you get 10 for a win and 6 for a loss. Those other rules for autofilling etc. are removed. So it'll be closer to about 200 games for Silver & below. Also remember that you still get chromas per rank, someone in silver will only have up to the Silver chroma while if you hit Plat you'll be able to flex that in game, no other way to earn those than improve

brightmoon called me at 2am this morning and told me we're responding to player feedback and made me improvise this whole thing now i'm going back to sleep thanks reddit

Not sure what would be interesting and I don't wanna get too deep into numbers, but the fun thing I always see in any surrender data is that most regions behave similarly enough, except for Korea which surrenders way more frequently than the rest of the world. Perhaps notably this only shows up in surrenders after 20 minutes, their FF rate pre-20 is close to everyone else's.

Can only see the past two years right now, it's about 2 - 2.5%, and that hasn't really changed over that time.

Offhand I can only see back to season 7 and if a game ended via surrender or no surrender, general trend looks like seasons 7-9 were pretty flat, overall surrender rates had a pretty noticeable spike with season 10, that recovered slowly through seasons 11 and 12. Directly comparing seasons 7 and 12, surrender rates are only slightly higher.

When the vote before 20 minutes was first introduced, it didn't actually change overall surrender rates almost at all, it just took many of surrender votes that passed at 20 minutes and let them occur earlier.

This isn't an official take but I'd think we want to assume that any player's default intent is "I want to keep playing the game" unless they specifically indicate they don't.

I think a pain point with how it works right now is that the timer to start a surrender vote is based on when the vote ends as opposed to starts, so people "waste time" on the next vote timer by not immediately voting. That's a change I think could be good for us to make.

Do you feel similarly if we flip it to "It's important you have time to feel powerful with a lead"? Being able to flex your champion's power fantasy when you're the big, fed, succeeding character is one of the highest moments you get in League and it's something we value you being able to access.

It's definitely a combination of factors, the mental state of a team that has 4 people willing to take the loss immediately is one of them, but we can also look at measures like gold leads to see that when these votes happen the opponents do have a fairly substantial material advantage.

Yes that is also planned work!

This is being fixed in 13.1.

This is something on the backlog, can't promise when we will get to it though.

I see folks also use the wiki as their source of info for learning what a new champ does from scratch, which it's not the best at since it has way more detail than is really needed to get going. The client is a better resource for this since that's what we write those short descriptions and include videos for. Once you have the basic grasp of what a character does, the wiki is great for hunting down the details if you want to get into optimizing playing as and against. For all that Bel'Veth passive text, the client description is

Bel'veth gains permanent attack speed stacks after taking down large minions and monsters and champions. She also gains temporary bonus attack speed after using an ability.

and that's enough detail to grasp it. If you're now interested in "how do I optimally cycle my abilities to keep passive uptime", or "how does Riot numerically tune infinitely scaling attack speed" you can read the wiki version.

I'm not on the Modes team but I can promise that the team is closely examining data and player feedback. There's certainly some amount of balance tuning to do that should help, the double whammy of preseason itemization changes + large systemic ARAM changes coming together are probably making things more coinflippy than they will be in a month from now.

Yeah, primary reason against was that it'd be redundant to enforce a specific pick order if we give players the tools (order swapping) to sort it out amongst themselves anyway. Will be interesting to see the data we get back on draft behavior though!

The tooltip says pick order so you should be fine.
