The saddest part about this is the fact that you surely think you're hilarious and cool by trying to do shitty pr for a shitty change.
“My mom thinks I’m cool.”
“I’m not really doing PR. I’m the designer for this and I knew it would be a thing. Because everything is a thing when enough people see it. So I figured I’d try and talk through it with folks.”
“Sorry you’re not feeling it. Would you say your life is pretty significantly worse after this change?”
Was this really such an issue?
Are there really that many players who get frustrated over something like this?
“Not stupid! When a system in software is trying to tell you something, but can also deliver a personalized message from a user, we call that feature overloaded. It’s actually natural to be confused in certain cases when those things age close in content.”
What if you only added the quotes when it was in the format of a Riot status message. So 99% of the time players wouldn't have to see them.
“Short answer: hard to determine when it’s actually a match to a riot status message.”
I appreciate the reasoning, and I understand it, but I disagree with it. Statuses have to be shorter now, and the quotes are just kinda annoying. I don't think the tradeoff for clarity in this case is worth it. People just need to git gud and stop getting trolled by fake statuses.
Or, the best solution, if that's the problem you're trying to solve - make it impossible to set statuses that imitate system messages. I know that has to go through localization and it's a big chore, but it's the right way to do it.
Edit for easier, lazier idea: just make them a different color. We have green, blue, and red text. Make something orange or yellow.
“There’s more here to unpack if you want to dig in.”
“What does that experience look like?”
“Do we do some sort of pattern matching so they can’t enter anything like the work ‘Summoner’? I think that might be lame. Do we deny you if you only put exact string matches? So now we need to account for (checks math) all 27 possible status messages including all the ones we might add in the future in every language? YIKES.”
“Your take is totally valid, and I actually thought pretty similarly initially, but there’s a ton of complexity chillin in this little feature.”
Why couldn't you just put a bullhorn or other signifier in front of the system status message, to keep the distinction but also keep our memes?
“We tried it! It took up way too much space honestly. It took away about 4-5 characters. Quotations only take 2.”
You're not a real Riot employee...
This response makes too much sense
“Gottem.”
“For some players, it was confusing when their friends would put a status that said ‘Summoners Rift (3/5)’ or any other system generated status.”
“This frustrates those players when the game isn’t behaving appropriately based on what they’re seeing. Believe it or not, rito hates frustrated gamers. Crazy right?”
"How dare people have some fun"
“We love fun! But we don’t love when people think open parties are broken.”
“Really important thing to know about design is that it’s all about making trades. I know this is a little bit worse in some ways. But I also know it’s more clear.”
“So I took the trade.”
"Well I guess this month's work is done"

“So this was actually my feature and I’d like to take a moment to explain the reasoning behind it!“
“For some players, it was confusing when their friends would put a status that said ‘Summoners Rift (3/5)’ or any other system generated status.”
“This frustrates those players when the game isn’t behaving appropriately based on what they’re seeing. Believe it or not, rito hates frustrated gamers. Crazy right?”
“We initially tried putting the bullhorn status icon from the hover card (the thing you get when you hover a player) in the status message itself, but that took up so much room there wasn’t enough space for your funny memes!”
“So we decided this was the best middle ground between obvious and non-disruptive. It also causes hilarious accidental sarcasm. Here’s a fun example: my bosses’ status is “diamond champion” right now and it cracks me up every time I see it.”
“Thanks for reading!”
THIS GUY ARE SCRIPTING
Well then what counts as round 11? I've done this mission 5 times now and no luck so far
The fix went live as of about an hour and a half ago.
It's still broken and this is the only option to finish it

The hotfix to the mission should be live in all regions.
So we will be able to earn our 120 Betta Pass Points? 50 BPP for the bugged Weekly Mission and and another 70 BPP for the Weekly Mission that would have came after that?
That is correct.
We did in fact detect both an issue with the mission and a separate problem that was masking it when we would test it. We are going to issue a mission to affected regions that allows them to make up the beta pass points they have lost access to.
Sorry for the radio silence on this one, but we wanted to make sure we had an answer before we said anything here.
Would appreciate an update.
Hey Kamui, as far as we are aware the mission is functioning properly. Multiple people have tested and reported that it completed for them.
The mission is supposed to be challenging, but should not ruin your game experience. If you continue to have an issue, please submit a ticket to player support.
Edit: we have found the issue with the mission and will be issuing a make-up mission to affected regions. You aren’t going to lose access to anything on the beta pass if you’ve been playing and completing missions up until now!
It's the "reach level 6 by the second shared draft (round 11)" mission. It seems you need to actually reach it by round 6 before the the draft on round 7. The only way we can figure out how to make up the gold is by rolling 3 pirates and selling all units. This obviously isn't very likely to happen. Apparently this was also the case on PBE and no one could do it.
And that certainly was not our intent.
Looking into this now.
Thanks Probama.
Thanks pikaluva13.
please let us know how to actually beat this mission.
I think its pretty much impossible and we shouldn't have to go pirates AND sell our entire team just to get a mission done.
Which mission are you referring to exactly?
maybe minor nit pick, but can you clarify next time that the "Activate a 6 piece Set Bonus" mission refers to classes only. i had to find out the hard way in forcing a yordle team the first game and trying a 6 class the next to confirm if it's bugged for me or not
A set bonus refers to either class or origin. Where there are 6 of either, this mission should work.
One thing to consider is that missions process after the game ends, not after you leave the game. This means that you should wait a bit after an early knock out to try and claim your rewards!
