The current design has items broken down by class. This works for most champions, but some don't fit neatly into the existing class structure (Looking at you Shyvana). For these champions, the popular filter should serve their needs. The popular filter will look at all the times players build on that champion and display them and their components.

Giga glow down for doran's ring if I've ever seen one

Our goal for basic and starter items was actually to make them more diminutive. As the items increase in power, their imagery can become more impressive. Current Doran's Ring looks way more powerful than it actually is.

Less than 2 weeks for the new item system in pbe? I really want to try it, also not sure why they didn't update Rod of Ages icon, it is so old.

This is definitely what league needed honestly. Im liking Riots new stance with the items and it gives a giant breath of fresh air. With items and runes, you can easily op.gg or professor everything if you wanted, now it's definitely going to take time for people to see what items are good and what path to go for.

We are updating every icon in the game pretty much, that one just didn't make the cut from mockup in the article.

I'm waiting for the system to suggest Morello in every situation only to make LS mald.

Morello first item every single time on every character.

I like 98% of them but some feel too lacking in color & too “smooth”, if that’s the right word.

Specifically what I’m thinking of is zeal, bramble vest, and BF sword.

They smooth

Just a heads up, the image of the shop with the prices/items is totally made up. Don't try and infer anything about prices from it lmao.

These are neat :)

Important to note that the versions teased are not finalized. This means that detail work can still happen, things can be sharpened, or changed entirely as we gain more data from playtests.

I like the new Tooltip system but i think there should be something to differentiate between Bonus and Total scaling because most stats have both and it would be good to see why the total value is how it is because between 100% bonus and 100% total is a huge diffrence

We're actually going to create new icons for those types of scalings, got your back ;)

FWIW: Here are the colors used in the new tooltips/stat panel.

Some of the goals were:

  • Unify colors that already have a source or metaphor (Green should be health blue should be mana...duh)
  • Reduce collisions in common spaces - AP/Healing shouldn't conflict with each other because they often show up near each other in tooltips
  • Better highlight important information through use of higher contrast
  • Keep things that we felt were already working similar/the same

Hey friends, Barack here with some upcoming changes to tooltips that will be in your hot little hands on PBE sometime tomorrow. Special thanks to /u/Reinboom for helping (see: doing most of it)

The First Change: all champions will now have a level-up grid on their expanded tooltip. This should help everyone understand what each character's power progression looks like as the game continues. Feedback that would be useful here is on the format the data is presented in: Do

Expanded Tooltip

Another One: Next, we're updating the colors in our tooltips. The goal here is to help you...

Absolutely no one at Riot read this. Not one person. And they didn't cackle like an idiot at every verse.

I see this causing an additional problem of teammates flaming their worst performing member to AFK so that the rest of the team can get lower LP losses.

Just have to weight out that negative with the current reality of AFKer's having the "power" to make their whole team lose full LP by afking.

You are describing what we call the "degenerate case". This comes up a ton in discussions about any system that will impact a large number of players. They will always be abused in some way by a very small percentage. We take this sort of thing very seriously and put a good deal of effort towards mitigating these cases.

Can confirm, have lived in both. NYC is ~20% more expensive. Cali isn't that homogenous though. I choose to live close to the office, which I pay a price for. Many choose to live further away and commute to save on rent/mortgage.
