There had better not be an insane title, I may have a history of losing my sanity grinding such...

The best title in the system is "Absolute Unit" and nothing will convince me otherwise.

Iā€™m guessing everyone starts at 0 with the challenges unfortunately, well minus the collection one

Most Challenges will start at 0, some like collection will be retroactive, some others will also be able to key off of stats we've collected in the past.

Does anyone else notice 7 item slots? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FEAtYUXXsAcmoHE?format=jpg&name=360x360

And is there a way to turn challenges off? I'm not that interested in them and some menus look a bit...overloaded (I hope that's the right word). But the new ranked borders look really pretty, especially the Diamond one

Yeah. Oops. We goofed.

That's some shitty ass and shallow opinion coming from a lead ngl. Can't say I expected to hear something smart since you've done absolutely horrible job on the behavioral system so far. Balance team is controversial topic because some agree and some disagree with the balancing direction game is taking, but you my man and your team are the main reason game is at such shitty state and has been for last couple of seasons. If that doesn't scream RECONSIDER YOUR DAMN OPPINIONS I don't know what does. What makes you feel so confident that you are doing the right thing when game never seen as much toxicity, while nothing firm is being done on the topic. My all chat is already disabled any match and it was never a problem, what is a problem however is the team chat that is by far most toxic place, if you completely disable it you can't communicate with the team about important calls, but if you don't disable it you risk getting insanely tilted because of the team that constantly trash tal...

Thank you for your well formatted and reasoned argument.

Do you have any tricks for gaming related motion sickness? I have a friend who struggles with this and it very much limits his ability to game with us. We do our best to work around it but...yeah.

  1. Windowed Mode
  2. Increase field of view if possible
  3. turn off motion blur/head bob if possible
  4. put a small sticker in the center of the window for your eyes to focus on

I'll look it up, thanks :)

One question, out of curiosity: do you actually study other games as part of tmyour job in the player behavior team, or do you just play apex legends because you want to?

Study, first person games make me motion sick :x

I have to say, i'm not very familiar with other games, what are examples of game you think have a good and nuanced ping system?

quick chat is also an interesting approach, I agree

Apex Legends

I'm actually interested in what a good communication tool could be. I think pings are a good idea, but they lack the depth and variety needed. I do think they're a good starting point though, an idea could be to have more ping options, especially for vision ("is it warded here?" "please ward here" and "it is warded here"), or objectives/directions (let's do this objective, let's engage, let's not engage,...)

I think there are games in market that have pretty robust ping systems. Quick-chat is also an approach I am interested in. (Contextually aware messages that can be sent in chat via click/hotkey rather than typed out)

Howdy friends, I'm the design lead on the Behavioral Systems team for League of Legends.

Some quick thoughts:

The core goal and motivation people think about when they ask for broader voice support in League is better team cohesion by increasing communication.

I actually think that's a noble goal and if that were the only thing at play I'd be super gung ho about team voice chat.

Unfortunately what we've seen time and time again is that the more rich the communication tool, the more powerful it is as a means for disruptive behavior. Put more simply: It's way worse to be told you're a noob via voice than it is to be told the same through text.

And beyond that, voice is more damaging and disruptive to marginalized groups. It reveals more information about them that has been repeatedly demonstrated to increase severity and frequency of harassment. (Think gender, accent, dialect, etc)

And to go even further beyond that, voice chat is si...

We're doing both. Each of them are independent and very tricky spaces.

/u/RiotMeddler the team has been kicking the 'working on solutions' can down the road for months (years) now when it comes to toxicity. I think its time that you share, even if premature, what's the solutions and the goal target patches for these feature. Its not good enough to say working on it and then 360 no scope my all chat while still only handing out chromas for 6-12 months of excellent behaviour that is required to attain honor level 5.

This /all chat feature removal is simply a punishment for the minority of players that are good-sports and enjoy talking to opponents in healthy way, with some reasonable and good spirited banter. Why not tie /all to high honor levels and actually make these honor levels both easier to achieve and easier to lose?

Not Meddler, but can talk a little bit about what we're looking at.

The main thing is a large, centralized, improved system of text evaluation that will cut across all Riot Games. It's very exciting tech.

But it's not ready yet. And until it is, we have to deal with the realities that we see in our games today, and those realities are pretty upsetting right now.

We're committed to doing the right thing here, but as you rightly ascertained it is a minority of players that will be negatively impacted here. We suspect the general impact will be positive to neutral.

Depending on how everything shakes out, we're open to future changes in this space.

Until then, GL HF and GG

That mock-up may have had some outdated info in it. :)
