One of the main reasons is so there is full staff available to triage and solve emergent issues as they come up after release.

We test and validate the best we can internally but we’re far from perfect and operate at a scale that is very different from the scale of our internal tests.

Acknowledge that this isn’t the best for everyone in every region, but we think it’s important to prioritize the quality of releases until we can get to a consistent level of quality and reduction in issues for releasing content.

Once that improves over time and we develop our tools further, we’ll be re-examining release times across all regions.

Until then we’ll continue to by default release things in the middle of the day in NA. (With some exceptions)

Just for clarity. This was an old skin that was scrapped last year. This is a bug and is not one of the remaining prestige skins for the year.

Thank you for supporting us and helping to not only fund the continued development of League, but also all of our other new endeavors. :)

Yes TFT games count as well.

It’s fans like yourself that keep the community both positive and thriving, so thank you for taking the time to write up your thoughts. It’s threads like these that fuel us to work harder and be better tomorrow than we are today.

Our goal with these isn’t to function as a daily login requirement. We just wanna give away a bunch of free stuff in the most effective way we can. :)

You don’t have to login every day to get them. You can catch up next week. Also the final reward (Annie-versary skin) is separate from the 10 days of gifting mission chain.

The skin tier is epic, although we’ve spent a bit more time on it than the average 1350 since we know every player will have it. You’ll have to let us know if that extra effort comes through in the experience of playing. :)

You’re not restricted to particular days and you can definitely catch up on the weekends.

Error on the video. You’ll have to actually play a game to claim your rewards each day. You have up to 30 days after the start though to collect all the rewards.

I had a similar experience growing up. Wasn’t popular at school, bullied quite a bit, found friends and later confidence through games.

I can’t express enough how touching it is to see someone else go through a similar journey, and in a sense, feel like I’ve in some small way contributed positively to someone else’s life.

Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. Thank you for being a League fan. We are nothing without your support. :)

Don’t forget Ahri now

Thanks for sticking with us for as long as you have and thanks so much more for your kind words of appreciation.

We’re nothing without our fans. Thank you LincolnandChurchill.

Definitely true. We have designers review upcoming skin releases in an effort to make sure we’re hitting gameplay clarity requirements and in other cases help enable artists to push visual fidelity and fantasy in ways that don’t violate gameplay clarity constraints. (Dark Star Jhin ulti is a great example of this) Worth callings our though that these designers are completely dedicated to the Personalization and Skins teams, they are different folks from the designers that work on live gameplay balance or champions content.

Some players have done studies and analysis on this subject that have yielded results that conclude the opposite, but just to call it out specifically, there is no coordination between the skins teams and the live balance team.

We explicitly keep their roadmaps separate. The only exception to this would be VGUs from the Champions Team and that awareness is so that we don’t make skins for champions right before their kit changes which would likely result in lost time, effort, and work.

You make a very solid point here. While we look at data and statistics in order to understand what players are engaging with, that data doesn’t tell us the why. This is why we combine quantitative methods like looking at raw numbers and qualitative information from talking to players in playtest labs as well as surveying players across different regions globally.

To answer your overarching question directly, yes we ask why, and we’re very careful about taking data at face value.

Thanks for the feedback Spideraxe30. We’re constantly keeping an eye on whether or not players feel like they’re getting their money’s worth so it’s meaningful to hear that from you.

Mentioned above but this is where things like Your Shop or skin sales come into play. Also many people do engage with loot in order to get skins at a price that is on average lower than purchasing one directly at the trade off of agency and choice of which skin.
